Chapter 221 – Date (3)

“Wow~ that’s good, it’s been a while since I played Tetris like this.”

Tetris is not a game where you have to think about where to drop the blocks, but a game where you memorize all the places to drop and think about what the next block will be.
The speed of thinking of the next block should be slightly faster than the speed of the game.
The pace of the game accelerated in an instant, becoming a daunting pace for me, but Rapid was still moving his hands while talking as if he had room.

I smiled happily and glanced at Rapid, who was playing the game, and gnashed my teeth.
I lost if I lost cleanly, but I can’t stand being watched.
I can’t stand losing even more when I can’t see my real skills.

“… Do it right.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t look at me and do it right…”
“Uh… But… Oh, okay…”

Rapid heard my request and immediately erased the smile from his face.
The Tetris that followed was much more sincere than I expected, more than necessary.
The magical energy from Rapid tickled my skin and stimulated the electronics of the game console, slightly distorting the screen.

“Uh?”

It’s not a speed that humans can do.
Rapid tapped the stick like a machine and quickly dropped the block at the correct angle and location.
Blocks do not fall, but blocks appear where they should fall.
In an instant, the score gap with Rapid widened, and I was killed by Rapid as it was.

“Uh…”

Seeing my screen turn black and white, I froze as it was, feeling absurd rather than defeated.
When I was immersed in Tetris for a while, I even played against a pro in a network match, but it wasn’t to this extent.
It’s ridiculously good.

“Wow, are you okay… ?”
“Ah… Yes…”

Rapid said in a tone as if he had made a mistake, perhaps because he was worried about me after losing.
I feel defeated only when there is a moderate difference… This makes me wonder if my feeling of defeat is rude to Rapid.

“Excuse me… Because I’m a normal person… I’m a magical girl, and that’s top notch…”
“That… That’s right.”
“It’s not that you couldn’t do it! I think you are doing really well among the general public. You said M, but about GM…”

I smiled relievedly as I stared blankly at Rapid, who said it was natural for me to lose.
Rapid is a magical girl who can manipulate space.
Tetris is a game that deals with space in a way… Maybe there is something in common that makes them so different.

It doesn’t make sense that I lost because Rapid is a top-notch magical girl.
Grape is also a top-notch magical girl… I also beat Grape…
So this is obviously because Rapid was so good at Tetris that he lost.
I clapped in pure admiration for Rapid’s skill.

“Wow… How are you so good?”
“Yes… ?”
“That’s great, I thought I was good too…”
“Uh…”

It’s rather nothing since I’m so refreshed.
Embarrassed at my frank compliment, Rapid blinked her eyes and dropped her head.
Rapid said as he quickly finished the game that had become a solo play.

“Eh, starting with magic… It’s space magic, I… And, time… Yes.”
“Is it magic?”
“I didn’t use magic, but… Oh, I did use it a bit at the end, it’s a magic called accelerated judgment… If you use it, the speed of thinking is much faster. Even if I don’t use it, I have a good sense of time and space…”

What Rapid is saying is not condescending or deceiving that because I am this good, you have no choice but to lose.
Rapid is the one who has the best sense of time and space among all mankind, and she is a magical girl.
Feeling that I was just telling the truth, I neatly admitted that I couldn’t beat Rapid with Tetris.

“I only played Tetris during my real school days… I didn’t expect it to be this overwhelming.”
“I tried it for the first time when I came here with Esther, but it seems to be better than I thought… Esther said the game level is GM.”

Esther must have been among the magical girls who came together before.
Esther was a magical girl who was good at games to the extent that she did a game broadcasting content called Game Star.
Enough to defeat such Esther… Probably no one can beat Rapid in Tetris.

“… Are you okay?”
“Yes?”
“No… Anger doesn’t get angry even if he loses…”
“Ah…”

I listened to Rapid’s words and nodded slowly.
As a person who likes games, losing a game certainly makes me angry and upset.
But I didn’t come here to win the game, I came to play with Rapid… In a way, I’m good at the game enough for Rapid to win using magic… I don’t feel bad.

“I came to play with Rapid, why are you upset that I lost the game?”
“Ah… That, right?”
“It was fun, should we play another game?”
“Yes!”

I got up to play another game with Rapid.
Tetris is giving up.
I need to find another game I can win that I can naturally teach Rapid.

Next to Tetris is a fighting game with a magical girl motif, but that game is pass.
Grape’s reaction was too bad… I don’t know how to write Rapid’s character well.
A natural way to hug or touch… What games are women not good at? .

“Do you want to do this?”
“Zombie Buster…”

After thinking about it, I found a shooting game in the corner, and without hesitation, I put the coin into the game machine.
If it’s a zombie game, there will definitely be horror game elements in it.
I’m confident in shooting a gun because I practiced until I got tired of it in the National Guard.

“Wow, this… Something seems real, but it’s not real…”
“I am not afraid… ?”
“Because there are similar monsters… Not a zombie, but ah… If it’s a zombie, is it a zombie?”
“There is a monster that resembles a zombie… ?”
“It’s not aimed at people… There is a plasma-type irregular type monster that gathers the corpses of dead monsters to form a body.”
“… Chunks carrion by any chance?”
“Ah, yes… I was scared at first, but now I’m used to it…”

Chunk Carrion is a monster that means lump of rotten meat.
I had never seen it in real life, and since there were no photo data, I only came across it as an explanation and thought it was a rotten meat slime.
You say it’s like a zombie… I get goosebumps on my arms imagining what it would feel like in real life.

“Compared to that, there is no smell, and the air is not sticky…”
“It’s cool thanks to the air conditioning.”
“Yes, so… Hmm… How to say… It’s fun!”

Rapid did too well, even if he played the game better than I expected.
Rapid, standing confidently and not afraid at all and aiming at the aiming point with minimal movement with only a flick of the wrist, quickly detonated the heads of all zombies. Have finished
I was able to see the last stage quickly without much activity as if I was being dragged by Rapid, and Rapid defeated the last boss without difficulty.

“Wow… I wish real monsters were this easy…”
“Hmm… Iknow, right…”

Hearing Rapid’s impressions, I put down the toy gun a little depressed…
It’s not that the game is difficult or scary, but that it would be nice if the reality was as easy as the game…
Hearing that, I think I know how low the difficulty of playing games in the arcade is compared to what Rapid usually goes through.

“Let’s play the next game!”

Fortunately, Rapid grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the next game console, as if he liked the arcade date.
The next game is air hockey… Again, this wasn’t a game I could teach you about rapid.
It is a game in which air is blown out on the game table and a small disc-like puck that slides lightly is bounced on a wall and put into the opponent’s goal.

“… Eight!”
“Oh!”

Air hockey was also a landslide victory for Rapid to the extent that I now think it is natural.
I sent it in an unimaginable direction, deliberately bounced it against the wall, and bounced the puck twice into it. No matter how many times I got hit, I couldn’t react.
Unlike me, who only plays with quickness, Rapid uses better quickness than me to play the game by thinking about angles and force calculations, reflected time, and tricks.

I gave up on winning the game and focused on Rapid.
As he got more and more excited while playing the game, Rapid opened his eyes wide and concentrated on the game, his big chest bouncing.
Watching Rapid’s heart shake is much more enjoyable than playing the game…

“Oh… What should I do, I enjoyed it so much…”
“No, I’m having fun too.”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t think of anything else when I was concentrating… Like playing a game alone…”
“It’s really fun… I’m watching Rapid get excited.”

Rapid shaking his chest with excitement was so enjoyable that I wanted to record it instead of just watching it with my own eyes.
When Rapid heard my honest answer, his face blushed and he placed his hand lightly on his chest.
Watching Rapid blush his face, I averted my gaze, wondering if he might have caught me looking at his breasts.

“I see… That, I’m so excited because it’s been a while since I’ve been to an arcade… Go! Shall we play a game together? Picking a doll… Or what? Or a prize shooting game… ?”
“Shooting game… Should?”

I immediately responded to Rapid’s suggestion and quickly changed the topic.
Fortunately, I don’t think they saw my breasts.
If I had to choose between drawing a doll and a shooting game, I would like to choose a shooting game that I have the possibility to do even slightly better.

“… Rapid… Is, shooting… Well… Do you?”
“The shooting game…”

The shooting game is a way to give a prize if you hit all the targets that come up at once with a limited amount of bullets within a limited time without order.
Standing side by side in the shooting range with Rapid, I questioned confidently as I put bullets into the air gun.
Rapid is so good at the gun game, so he must be good at the shooting game.

“Ah, what should I do… None of that is right…”
“Shall I teach you?”

At that time, a girl among the student couples who were already playing a shooting game next to them missed the target and disassembled it, putting down the gun.
The male student who saw this smiled cutely and stood behind the female student, holding her body lightly.
Covering her hand with the female student’s, they say shyly to each other.

“You… On the waist, hands… I can reach you…”
“You can’t teach me if you don’t touch me…”

Seeing that, I was a little envious and let out a small sigh mixed with regret.
Originally, I was thinking of doing that to Rapid as well…
It’s a pity that Rapid is better at all games than me.

“… Come on, I guess I’m not good at it!”
“Huh?”
