[Cinema]
After leaving the eat-in corner, Towa san and I headed to the movie theater with the movie ticket Yuhei san gave us.
It will be a movie about a popular manga series in a shonen manga magazine, featuring a boy who aspires to be a hero.
To be honest. I liked the rival boy’s father more than the hero.
Enver san is really cool.
I was thinking about that when I checked the showing time at the movie theater.
“I see, we have about an hour from now.”
“That’s right. I guess the timing was a little bad.”
It seemed that the movie had just started.
I thought it would be a good time to go home if I could enjoy the movie at the time of the next showing.
“I think we should kill some time by playing in a game arcade or something until the movie time.”
“Yes. I agree.”
Towa san agreed to my idea.
“This arcade is pretty big, so I think we can have a good time for an hour or so.”
“Fufufu. I’m sure you’ll show us your cool Kirito-kun again?”
I see. The game center there has a Struckout, I believe.
This is a good time to get a good score.
“That’s right. There’s a target game called Struckout, I’ll try that.”
“Ah! I know that one! It’s the one where you shoot through nine targets! Two pieces out. I’ve seen it once.”
“Yes, yes. The pros do it a lot. The arcade here is 18.44…… not a real distance, but about 15 meters, so it’s pretty easy to pull it off.”
“I still think it’s great. I’ll be watching with great anticipation.”
“Haha. I’ll do my best to get a good score.”
With this conversation going on, Towa sann and I headed to the arcade.
[Game center]
“It’s really big. ……”
“I know, right? I think they are very serious about building a game center of this size in a shopping mall.”
Towa san and I stood at the entrance to the game center, stunned by the scale of the place.
“Well then, let’s go inside.”
“Yes. I’m looking forward to it now!”
When we proceeded inside, I was still quite concerned about the noise.
“It’s noisy, isn’t it?”
“But this noise is what a game center is all about, isn’t it?”
As we talked like that, we arrived at a place a little out of the hustle and bustle, where there was a batting center and a place to play strikeout.
“This is the place. It’s a little less noisy now, isn’t it?”
“Fufufu. Yes, it is.”
And I take off the jacket I was wearing and start stretching.
If I suddenly throw it, I’ll break my shoulder.
Maybe I’ll be asked by Muto Senpai to be at least a batting pitcher for the baseball team.
I think left-handed pitchers are in high demand.
“Are you going to hit a target at that distance?’
Towa san pointed to the target at the strikeout spot.
“Yes. That’s about the distance of a junior baseball game.”
When I said that, Towa san seemed surprised.
“Even though it is close from Kirito-kun’s point of view, from my point of view it is far away. I thought so yesterday, too, but Kirito-kun is really amazing to throw at the target at such a distance.”
“Haha. I’ve been practicing. I’ve been able to solidify my form, strengthen my lower body, and improve my control since junior high school.”
I practiced control over changeable pitches and balls with increased speed when I was playing against Sudo-san.
As a former catcher, he had a good way of teaching the breaking ball.
“Okay. Then can I have you hold this for me?”
“Yes. I’ll take it.”
I finished stretching and handed Towa san the jacket I had left on the chair.
“All right. Let me show you how good I look.”
With that, I insert two 100-yen coins into the trackout machine.
I can throw out 20 balls.
I roll my shoulders and wait for the balls to come flying out.
A ball pops up in front of me, so I grab it and throw it lightly.
I aim for the center. The ball will usually scatter somewhere from there.
Because the ball is slippery and soft, it slips through my fingers a little and hits the number 7 target.
“That’s amazing! It hit suddenly!”
“Hahaha. That’s not what I was aiming for, though.”
We talked about that and threw about 10 balls.
Towa san clapped her hands in delight when I performed a two-piece pullout, which was a coincidence.
By the time we were halfway through the game, the remaining targets were numbers 5 and 9.
The center of the target was not so easy to get to.
Aiming at the number 9, I rotated a little bit like a slider.
I hit the target as I intended, and there was only number 5 left.
“All right. Last one!”
“There’s nine pitches left! Keep calm!”
There is only one more feature on this Struckout, and it is designed to show how many kilometers you are out.
Although I don’t know how consistent it is, next to the ranking of how many cards you have pulled out, there is also a ranking of how many kilometers you have gone out.
I was pulling out at about 90km, but it’s the last one, so can I go for the fastest?
Anyway, it would be around 120km/h, right?
Thinking, I looked at the ball speed ranking.
“……Haa?!!”
First place 148km Name KEN
That’s ridiculous!
148 km/h with a soft, slippery arcade ball like this?
I mean, it’s Muto-senpai by name!
“…… Towa. I’ll throw it as hard as I can now.”
“Fufufu. Yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
I’d like to exceed the second place’s 125 km/h, even if 148 km/h is impossible.
While thinking about this, I grabbed the softball that came out and swung it hard.
“I’ll give it all I’ve got, but not so much as to break my shoulder!”
Bang! I threw a straight ball and it hit the number 5 target.
[Perfect!]
I looked at the speedometer as the fanfare rang out.
[135 kilometers]
“…Well, that’s about right.”
I was ranked a respectable second, but it was a strikeout that showed me once again how great Muto Senpai was.
I had naturally set the Name as “✝︎KIRITO✝︎” by the way.
“I’m satisfied that I got to see Kirito-kun’s cool side!”
“Haha. I’m glad I got a perfect score for now.”
I had gotten a stuffed ball as a prize for my perfect from the clerk.
There was no point in me keeping it, so I gave it to Towa san
“Thank you! I’m going to put it next to the plushie of Léo-chan that I got the other day!”
She was delighted.
I could understand an iron ball, but what about a baseball? ……
After walking around a bit, I noticed an “air field hockey” machine.
It’s the perfect thing to play with for fun.
“Towa san. Should we do that one?”
“Yes! I love air field hockey!”
I put one 100-yen coin in the enclosure, and Towa san and I split up on either side.
“Fufufu. I won’t lose!”
“Actually, I’m pretty good at this. I’m pretty confident in my dynamic vision.”
I said and popped the puck that came out with a pusher.
As the puck bounced off the wall, Towa san popped it back with the pusher in his hand.
“Tei!”
Tayun!
“…………..”
Gachan!!!
“……Ah.”
The puck that Towa san played was slammed into my goal in a straight line.
If I had been blinded by her swaying breast, I would have lost the game!
I look around in a panic.
Nobody’s here, right? Towa san is like this. I can’t let anyone but me see her like this!
Fortunately. Around me, there were only a few women, but no men.
T-then, it’s good. ……
“Fufufu. What’s wrong, Kirito-kun?”
She asked me with a smug look on her face, which was unusual for her.
“I-it’s just the beginning!”
I picked up my pack and started playing again.
“Tei!”
Fuyon.
“!”
Puck.
“Yaah!”
Tayun
“Kuu!”
Bakin.
“Eeeeeii!”
Towa san’s swaying breasts are playing with me, but I manage to keep the rally going.
This never happened when I was playing with Rinne!
Yeah, when I’m playing with her, I should be careful…..
Puckin’!
my puck hit a little hard and headed loosely toward Towa san’s position.
“Chance!!!!”
Towa-san said, leaning forward and trying to play the puck with the pusher.
The only thing I can inevitably see is her …… peeking over my shoulder.
“……!!!??”
Like with Rinne, when a girl gets carried away with her game, her bosom is unprotected!
gachan!!!
While I was distracted by the pale green, I scored another loss ……
“I did it!!!”
Towa san jumps up and down.
Even then she is shaking …….
I can’t take my eyes off of her. ……
“I can’t win this one,……”
It was as if I couldn’t win with all my male troubles, and the air hockey game ended in a crushing defeat for me.
Then, after spending about an hour together, we made our way to the movie theater.
