Game Market 1983

After giving up duty-free shopping and hurrying together, we arrived at the boarding gate relaxed, gasping for breath and leaning against the waiting room chair.

‘You can just come slowly, but why did you run all this way? ’

I didn't get on one or two planes, but when the rookies got mixed up, I panicked...

After a long chase, Uchimu, who grabbed the backrest of the chair and started to feel nauseous, already had a white face.

“You okay? Take a deep breath...”

“Yes? Oh, yes... tow, tow, tow!"

Two flights and I'll clear the invoice...

Immediately, as the stewardess informs the passengers who are waiting, the people, including our group, slowly begin to line up in the waiting room.

And then... a familiar voice came from behind my back.

“The Force...? ”

I turned my head to find the protagonist of my voice, and the man who looks at me in a clean suit...

“Mr. Gunpei?”

“Haha! What a surprise. Just in case, I didn't expect to be on the same plane. ”

Shigei and Kawata Satoshi at the HEG Institute, a second party in Mintendo, stood beside Gunpei looking at me.

Minten was also expecting to announce a new project at CES, so I thought I'd run into him at the event, but I didn't think I'd see him here.

“I'm glad you're looking well. Gunpei.”

“Healthy. Your games brought me back from the dead.”

Whether he remembered Valentine's Day or not, Gunpei smiled calmly.

“I'm sorry about Bourne back then. ”

“No. I was a different kind of experience. ”

Their attitude towards me, who was now a competitor in my past work colleagues, was no different than before.

And it was the same for me.

The legends of Super Maridge and Karin... The fact that Mintendo is one big axis in the gaming industry in the future.

As I looked around for a moment, I asked Gunpei that there was no President Kamauchi.

“Ms. Kamachi, are you not attending the conference? ”

“Well, this time he's giving everything to Yamashta at an American office. I guess you're old now...”

That seems to be the same to you, Gunpei.

I suddenly thought of Gunpei who looked older than the first time I met him, but of course I didn't take him out of my mouth.

“Sir, please board the plane. ”

As the conversation grows longer, the stewardess looks at us and speaks carefully.

“Let's talk about the details on the plane. ”

It took approximately 13 hours from Japan to Las Vegas, so I conferred with Mr. Kawaguchi to arrange seats based on first class for the best possible staff.

“Wow, I can lie down and go!! ”

Kaori and Miyazaki, who were flying for the first time, couldn't hide their excitement in a private space designed like a capsule.

Gunpei also smiled brightly, clutching wrinkles around her eyes, whether her granddaughters were cute or not.

“I heard that the employee benefits of Pentagon Soft are well-known, but don't they all use first class? ”

“Long-distance flights are important to employees. ”

“Fantastic.”

“By the way, when you and Gunpei used to go to the United States, you both used business classes, right? I wasn't in a frenzy to persuade Kamachi who was going to burn the Economy back then…”

“Still, he's much better these days.”

“I think so. ”

Gunpei sat down with a smile on his mind.

Later, with a brief instruction from the aircraft pilot, the giant plane slowly moves, and Kaori opens his mouth with an anxious expression.

“You're not going to crash or anything like that on your first plane experience, are you? ”

Then Hayashi, sitting next to her, mutters, wrapping her prepared eye patch.

“If not, I'm tired of working late last night. Don't be a jerk. ”

“By the way, I don't see anything good coming out of your mouth. ”

Pentagon employees who had to endure long flights from Narita, Japan, to Las Vegas, the United States, started pulling Raon out of their bags as soon as the airplanes rose.

In fact, what other content is as time-consuming as a game on a long distance trip?

I also took out Raon for a little while, but Gunpei, who was sitting next to me, stared at me.

“Raon is such a concise design at any given time. It's like there's a screen on the gamepad. ”

“Thank you."

“By the way, Kang-gun has a genius sense of designing portable gaming machines. I guess the first Shinkansen we met gave me the idea of Gamboy...”

Gunpei smiled happily as he pulled out the portable gamble boy he had made with me from his bag.

&

“I'm... bored.”

“Then sleep like me. ”

“Sir, you've been asleep for nine hours. Can a person sleep that long? ”

After waking up to Khaori and Hayashi's conversation, I looked up at the tightly closed window.

I checked the time with my wristwatch, frowning for a moment in the dazzling sunlight.

11: 30 pm Japanese time.

But the plane that was moving along the sun was still flying under the bright sun.

“Can I get you something to drink? ”

I nodded and asked for a glass of water for a sensible stewardess question.

“Please wait a moment. ”

I turned my head and looked at Gunpei, touching the dull skin.

“Hiic...!! ”

I stretched out my arms and straightened Gunpei's head as if he was sleeping with his head bent to 90 degrees like a corpse.

I think I've been flying for 10 hours. Is it too far?

Even in first class, airplanes to America are very boring. I looked around and I saw that everyone was sleeping with their eye pads on or looking at CES related documents for next weekend.

This year, Gunpei, 53, was also asleep with documents in his hands to check the CES data and see if he had forgotten to sleep.

After a while, I asked the stewardess to bring me a thin blanket and cover it with Gunpei. Then she smiled at me a little.

“That's very kind of you. Are you with someone else? ”

“I was a boss at work. ”

When I went to Toyworld with Gunpei to capture the American market and was reminded of the time when I was faced with the door slam, I smiled and looked at the bright sunny window.

“I'm hungry... sir. ”

“How long have you been eating? Are you hungry already? ”

“Oh... I want ice cream. Cool green tea ice cream. ”

Kaori's voice from behind suddenly reminds me of my refrigerator.

Green tea ice cream... did you buy enough? ’

Our plane will be landing at Las Vegas Airport. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and fasten your seat belts. -

“Ahh! Almost there. ”

We arrived at Las Vegas Airport in 14 hours via the L.A. Airport, each of us lighting up our bases and unwinding our bodies. Kaori, in particular, opened her mouth with yawns to see if she was completely exhausted during a long flight.

“Yawn, airplanes are such a boring mode of transport...”

Then Hayashi, who was sitting next to her, looked at her with a silly look.

“Boring? You don't seem to know your first class on the first plane, but if you're on an Economy, you're going to experience a living hell...”

Miyazaki and Kaori tilted their heads to Hayashi's words, but after landing the plane, they saw the faces of the people coming out of Economy and began nodding at each other.

We got off the plane with our own luggage, briefly explained why we were visiting the United States, and then left for the airport.

“Mr. Kang!! ”

As soon as I spoke to the gate, I turned my head to the voice of Mr. Wilson, who came out to meet us with Ellis.

“Mr. Wilson.”

After the wedding with Yuki, we met for a while, and Gunpei and Shigei greeted us from behind.

“Then we'll go, too. Meet me at the CES event. ”

“I'm sure the Pentagon has prepared a number of things, but it won't be easy this time. Be prepared.”

Seeing his mouth with a confident expression, I smiled and replied.

“We're not going to like this. When you come, swallow at least one heartbeat. He could pass out. ”

“Guy. Still got some nerve. ”

Shigere tapped my shoulder and hurriedly moved after Gunpei.

I looked behind them and turned to the voice of Elise, who was rushing me.

As employees boarded the vehicle waiting for them at the airport, Elise in the passenger seat told the Kawaguchi representative.

“Should I take you to the hotel first? Or do you want to take a look around the venue first? ”

Then Kawaguchi opened his mouth, looking closely at me.

“First things first...”

After talking to, I took a quick look at the reaction around me, and everyone was staring at Mr. Kawaguchi with a sad look to see if he wasn't getting used to paralysis.

I finished signing with Kawaguchi's eyes as they cried for their lives.

“Let's go to the hotel. ”

“Wow, you're the best. Thank you!! ”

“Yes, I will. ”

“Let's unpack first and let me and Jules take a look around the venue first. ”

“That would be great. We can check the size of the venue, so the staff is waiting at the hotel. ”

Then Morita and Hayashi, who had eaten the Pentagon's eyebrows with me for some time, stepped forward.

“We'll go with you. ”

Morita and Hayashi say I nodded and cleared my head.

“Great. Then the rest of the team, just the rest of the hotel. ”

“I understand.”

Although I was tired from the jet lag adjustment, I decided to overdo it because I wanted to see the size of the venue with my own eyes.

Leaning against the window, I looked at the sunset in Las Vegas, which is called the City of Pleasure, and I was secretly thinking about the light of the neon sign, one by one.

“Manager Kang Jun-hyuk. ”

“Yes, Mr. Ellis. ”

“I got a call from Rob before you arrived at the airport, and he said he completed the cigarette case mission you asked for. What was it? ”

The Kawaguchi representative, who was sitting next to me, was also puzzled by Elise's words.

“Excellent. Tell Rob you did well. ”
