Play Speak
"Tsk, failed again."
In the game hall, Yae Rin is a novice but loves to play. She never listens to good advice and squanders a lot of game coins.
Although she paid for it herself, Zijing didn't feel bad at all. Instead, she comforted her: "It's okay. This is not easy. Let's try again."
"Again and again... humph, it must be your nonsense before that affected my performance, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this." Yae Rin watched as her claws grabbed empty air again, and she was so angry that she threw the blame.
"How about... I do it?" Zijing asked tentatively.
"Come on, this crappy claw machine is driving me crazy!" Yae Rin gave up her seat.
"Ahem... keep your voice down, the old woman is watching us." Zijing put in the game coin, moved her claws accurately above the fox doll, and pressed the grab button.
Hmm... failed. The claws of this crappy claw machine are looser than I expected.
"It seems that you can't do it either~" Yae Rin teased Zijing. She was even happier to see him fail than to succeed herself.
"This is just a warm-up. The winning formula is already there."
"Be careful not to get slapped in the face after you brag."
Unfortunately, Zijing was not bragging. This time, he used the tip of his claws to hook the label of the fox doll and successfully brought it to the top of the cave. Then, while the old woman's attention was diverted by the arrival of a new customer, Zijing grabbed the shell of the doll machine and shook it wildly to throw the doll off.
"How despicable."
Yae Rin, who witnessed the whole process, said this.
"Then I'll ask grandma to put the doll back?"
Amethyst asked, pulling the fox doll's ears.
"Hmph, give it to me. I've already caught it..."
Yae Rin snatched the doll away and glared at Zijing who shook her head and laughed, "Why don't you catch one yourself?"
"Half of your game coins have been used on this. Are you sure you want to play again?"
"..."
Then, the two tried other games, such as racing and shooting, in which they competed with each other and compared their scores.
But Zijing's reaction ability is stronger than Yae Rin, so the latter naturally has no chance of getting the upper hand from him.
"...Next time I will definitely beat you!" Yae Rin stared at the shooting screen of the game console, which showed his own score, while the screen of the same type of game console next to him showed Zijing's score. When he saw Yae Rin was killed, he immediately stopped.
"Now I have fifty-one wins and zero losses."
Zijing reported her magnificent battle record, "Are you sure you want to come again?"
Yae Rin stared at him, as if to say, why don't you go easy on me and give me some face?
Amethyst also responded with her eyes: Definitely next time.
"Boring, no more playing."
Yae Rin threw all the game coins in her hand to Zijing.
"Is it over like this? Winning or losing in a game is not important. Having fun is the most important thing." Zijing advised.
"Who would feel happy after losing fifty-one games in a row?!" Yae Rin was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but at this time the old woman's voice rang out again:
"Hey, Siegfried, you're here. I haven't seen you for half a month. I thought you were traveling somewhere again... Eh? The girl next to you is so pretty. Is she your girlfriend?"
"..."
Yae Rin heard a familiar name, so she turned her head and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing in front of the open door of the game room. The man seemed to be an old acquaintance of her mother-in-law.
"Siegfried Kaslana? And that's... Cecilia?" As someone who works in Tenmi, Yae Rin would naturally recognize the two of them, especially the former, whose "wanted order" was still hanging in Tenmi.
"How come the two of them are together?"
Yae Rin asked the same question as Zijing, but she didn't hear the voice of the person next to her. She turned around and saw that Zijing didn't look surprised, so she asked, "Have you seen them before?"
"Yeah, I saw him at dinner before."
Amethyst nodded and did not deny it.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Yae Rin was about to press her own personal terminal, but was stopped by Zijing.
"They've finally come out to play, don't spoil their fun." Zijing motioned for Yae Rin to look at Cecilia. The white-haired girl looked around with excitement and curiosity, her face full of novelty about the new environment.
"..."
Yae Rin also put down her hand and softened her heart, "Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't see it... But, you still haven't told me how the two of them got together?"
"It should be similar to the melodramatic love stories often told in vernacular novels, where an injured and unconscious girl is rescued by a handsome knight passing by. If nothing unexpected happens, the two will gradually fall in love with each other as they spend more and more time together." Zijing expressed her guess.
Yae Rin raised an eyebrow, obviously amused by Zijing's exaggerated description, "Handsome knight? Do you mean Siegfried? Doesn't that make Cecilia a princess in distress?"
"That's about right. Perhaps their story is more complicated than we thought. At least the fact that Cecilia was injured is a bit strange. She has the strength of an A-level Valkyrie, and there are not many people who can hurt her..."
Zijing shrugged without commenting. Then she thought of something and added, "By the way, Cecilia was on a mission last night, so she must have been attacked last night as well... Well, does that mean the attacker might still be nearby?"
"..."
Yae Rin was about to press the personal terminal again, but was stopped by Zijing again.
"You didn't tell me such an important thing! What if the attacker attacks them?!" Yae Rin struggled to break free from Zijing's hand, but was immediately grabbed by another hand.
"No hurry. I received news that Cecilia's disappearance has attracted the attention of Tianming. Someone should be here soon... As for the attackers, don't worry about them. Did you see the man in a hat reading a newspaper on the street outside? I saw them when I went to buy ice cream just now. I was following behind them."
Zijing's information channel is not just Destiny. According to the information from another organization, the brown-haired man outside should be Walter Yang, the new leader of Anti-Entropy and the successor to the core of the First Ruler.
Although he is the First Ruler, he is like an ordinary person and is not willing to kill innocent people. Compared with him, Lord Otto is more like a devil~
"Is he the attacker?" Yae Rin stared at him through the glass of the game room.
"pretty close."
Zijing didn't say much. He still acted indifferent to the "formidable enemy at hand". "Don't act rashly. If we attract his attention, we might even be dragged into it."
"..."
Yae Rin put her hand down, but now she no longer felt as relaxed as before.
