Game Market 1983

“Have you two... ever been in a relationship? ”

Morita and Hayashi both became deaf and mute. Tsk, tsk... It's not my place to say, but I remember my life before I time slipped.

“Actually, a new project is going to talk about that relationship. Unlike so many games so far, it's not going to be as easy as having to care so much about the story. ”

Once Maurita heard the word "love," she exclaimed in an excited voice.

“If you're in love, then you definitely need a female character!! ”

“It's not necessary. It literally has to be the main one. It's a surrogate game that brings affection to users. If you want to call it a genre, do you have to call it a" simulation of girly romance "? ”

“M-Beautiful Girl Love Simulation..? What genre is it called?”

However, the genre ’Simulation of Beautiful Girls' is the only genre I've ever heard of: Genral Action, Roleplaying, Adventure, Simulation and Shooting.

But back in my day, There was a genre called Waterfall Hyper Battle.

Can you imagine? "Waterfall" Hyper Battle...

At first, I saw those genres and I doubted their eyes.

“Sir, I'm in favor of that genre. The conclusion is that I'm in love with a character that I drew? ”

“There's no need to rush. I also came up with a genre of character designs for Morita, so I don't know what it's going to look like yet. ”

“I can't stand the thought of listening to you. ”

This is... Morita is completely on fire, as expected, but since the initial demonstration, if you think it's too sexy a concept, it's important to organize a naive story so that women like Yuki can enjoy it comfortably.

Then Hayashi, who had been listening to our story silently, opened her mouth.

“I... I need to think about it for a second. ”

Are you sure you want to thoroughly examine the merits and threads of his cold-hearted nature?

I thought you were going to be a brilliant programmer for the Pentagon Soft, only Mr. Kawaguchi.

&

“Then we'll be on our way. ”

“Yes. Nice to meet you, Mauritata and Hayashi. ”

Kawaguchi asked Morita and Hayashi to shake his hand and smiled.

Apparently, they both seemed to like Kawaguchi.

“I have agreed to the resignation proposal of Director Kang Jun-hyuk. When I get back to Kyoto, I'm going to give my resignation to Mintendo. ”

“I would be honored if Mr. Morita, Amano's apprentice, could attend. The gamesmanship of the Psychic Battle is also gamesmanship, but most importantly, it was Maurita's characters that made the game stand out. Some of our employees are also fans of Mauritata.”

You're right.

I assure you, if another muscle machete protrudes from the psychic battle and the gloves are taken off one by one, the sales volume will be reduced by half.

It's clear that female characters are important to attract the attention of men.

“And I think Hayashi's skill at finely coding those tough shell jobs is amazing. Our Pentagon software is lacking programmers, so I hope Hayashi will think about it in a good way. ”

Kawaguchi bowed his head politely and asked. Hayashi bowed his head and finished greeting.

He didn't hate it either, because his superior stood up first and raised Hayashi's face.

Pentagon Soft drove me to Shinjuku Station in a company car, so the way back was very easy.

“I think I found a new possibility thanks to you today. ”

The whole time, Hayashi's single expression and contemplating expression were quite prepared, but Hayashi also seemed to be somewhat concerned about his relocation.

Then I heard the sound of calling out to me behind my back.

“Joon-Hyuk!! ”

“Huh, Yuki?

It's still awkward to just call him Yuki. Later, Yuki's face was pale and distorted.

“You were supposed to just call me Yuki. ”

“I'm sorry, I'm not used to it yet, but have you? It's still an hour before the appointment. ”

“I came to buy something, but I didn't know you were here first. But who's in the back? ”

“Oh, these are my colleagues. Morita and Hayashi.”

“Hi, I'm Yuki Ishikawa. Nice to meet you."

“Oh, I... I...”

You said no romance experience. In fact, you're both standing in front of a woman.

This is why I'm so worried I might be able to make a mime out of these two.

“My name is Morita Shinpei. ”

“I'm Yoska Hayashi. ”

“Mr. Morita and Mr. Hayashi. Please take good care of him!”

Morita and Hayashi froze as she smiled as she spread the snow.

“It's a little early in the day, but can we all have dinner together? ”

“Wow, that's great. ”

“Us, too? What are you two... you guys didn't have a date? ”

It's true that I was supposed to meet Yuki when I came to Tokyo, but I didn't know it would happen like this. But Yuki seems okay, too, and sometimes serving a subordinate is one of her boss's virtues.

“I thought I'd buy some food before I went down to Kyoto anyway. Yuki's okay, right?”

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

After dressing up beautifully for a date, she suddenly caught my eye among many people in Shinjuku.

“Do you know of any tasty houses in Shinjuku? ”

When it comes to delicious restaurants, it was better to ask her clearly than to go into the middle store. Then she picks up her diary sensibly and starts exploring the Shinjuku area.

“There are quite a few shops, what kind of food do you like? ”

She senselessly asked Morita and Hayashi before my doctor.

If you just talk to me, they'll feel uncomfortable.

“W-we eat everything well. ”

“Mmm-hmm. Better to have a clear menu than to say that. If it's hard to choose, I'll give you a choice. Do you like the eclipse or the food? ”

Hayashi chose one of the two options.

“Then the eclipse...”

“Do you like rice? Do you like cotton?”

Morita replied this time.

“Food is better than cotton, right? I think it's dinner.”

“Then do you think Joon-Hyuk would like a formality? Or do you like your bones? ”

“Well, I'm an archeologist. ”

“Okay, everybody, follow me. ”

Well, that's a way no one can complain...

Then Morita, who was following behind, looked at me and said,

“I think I can feel the kind of romance simulation you're talking about. ”

“Y-yeah? ”

That's a relief...

After a while, we followed Yuki to the Nabe (Pot) Forest Restaurant.

She makes it easy to find a restaurant by cooking through a complex Shinjuku alley.

Using GPS was a difficult location to find, but she looked at the directions in the diary and asked people nearby to find a restaurant quickly.

Yuki sat next to me in the restaurant and told me stories like this so that Morita and Hayashi wouldn't feel awkward.

“By the way, Joon-Hyuk gave me a dragon emblem after the event, right? ”

“Yuki likes games, too. ”

“Yes, I like it. I already bought the psychic battle from Mintendo this time. ”

“Phew!! Cough... Cough. You bought a psychic battle? ”

“Joon-Hyuk really... If you release the game, please give me a call in advance. Do you have any idea how hard I worked to get that? ”

“No, it's, um..."

Even though I'm a little out of control, I see a thin illustration of the parts flying away.

I couldn't show it off to Yuki.

“It's a little sexy, but the characters are very attractive. It was fun the whole time. ”

“Morita designed all those characters. Hayashi next to him is a programmer for the psychic battle program.”

“Wow! So this is how the three of you started the psychic battle!! ”

“Well, you could say that. ”

“Fantastic.”

With Yuki's sincerely admired voice, Morita and Hayashi swung their pots with their red faces for no reason.

“Ah! A bowl, please. Let me take that for you. ”

Yuki knelt down and handed them the dish in a small bowl.

And one by one, Morita muttered with an envious eye, looking at me.

“I can see why you asked me to do your next project as a beauty romance simulation. ”

“Mr. Morita, that's a misunderstanding. ”

Yuki, who had heard Morita's story, handed me the bowl and asked.

“Beautiful girl romance simulation? Is that a game? ”

“I'm just trying to figure out...”

“Wow, that would be fun! ”

A gamer, she started to show a sudden interest in just hearing stories about the genre.

Moreover, as soon as there was a shared interest in ‘The Game’, Morita, Hayashi and Yuki started talking about things like this.

“How about putting in artificial intelligence and acting like a real girlfriend at your discretion? ”

“That sounds like a good idea!! ”

Yuki nodded comfortably and punched Morita in the face, even with the idea of Morita looking a little overwhelmed. Then Hayashi, who was listening to the conversation next to him, opened her mouth with a fabulous expression.

“It's artificial intelligence. That kind of game is like an adventure anyway. It's going to end differently depending on where you choose. It's artificial intelligence. It's just one of the 0,1 choices that happens in my coding. ”

Maurita and Yuki, who were on fire by Hayashi's words, were quiet as if they were splashed with cold water.

“Hayashi... I'm scared. ”

“No, I'm just talking about reality. ”

Seeing them like that, I secretly leaked a funeral smile.

After finishing my meal, I came out and my surroundings were dimmed.

Hayashi, who was looking at the watch for a moment, hurriedly greeted us to see if the train time was coming.

“It's time for the train to arrive soon, so we'll leave first. ”

“Yes, I'll see you at work next week. ”

“Thank you for many things, sir. Nice to meet you too, Yuki. Hey, Morita, let's hurry. The train will be late.”

“Wait...”

Hmm? As Hayashi always says, Morita, who clicks and replies, summons Hayashi. Then he looked at Yuki and began to hesitate to say anything.

“Do you have something to say to me? ”

“Well, you know what? Yuki, if you don't mind...”

“Me?”

Maurita nods and pauses, urging him if Hayashi is stuffy next to him.

“What? Morita, talk fast. If we miss this train, we'll have to wait two hours. ”

Then Morita openly cries out, "Do you have a decision?"

“If you don't mind, can I reference Yuki's image in our next episode? ”

... I honestly thought Morita was confessing to Yuki at first sight.

Yuki also replied, relaxing his shoulders that made him nervous about the unusual atmosphere.

“Yes, I'm fine. ”

“Thank you!! ”

“Paint it pretty instead!”

“Of course!! ”

“Hey!! I don't know what else to say. Morita, come quick. You're the reason I'm running!! ”

“Sorry, Hayashi. I'll see you at work next week!!! ”

“Yes.. haha..”

Yuki laughed as he watched Hayashi disappear like lightning, dragging Morita away.

“That's funny, those two. Something fits you very well. ”

“I think so, too. ”

“I can't wait for Mauritata to paint me as a character in the game. But...

Yuki blushed slightly and spoke behind his back.

“A psychic battle where you shouldn't draw so dirty.”

I don't want to stab you in the chest...

“Joon-Hyuk, please control that. Not too high!! ”

“Okay. I'll tell him. ”

“Kick! Now that the interruptors are back, shall we go on a date?" ”

“What do you want to do? ”

“Actually, I've been wanting to see a movie for a long time, so I have a reservation ahead of time. I don't know if he likes it, but...”

“What's the title? ”

“La Bamba.”

... That's a title I haven't heard in a long time...
