Game Market 1983

“Oh, you didn't!? ”

“Ah-ha-ha... don't get me wrong. I just came here because I was hungry. ”

“Welcome, sir. Hey, Kanna, what are you doing? If you have a guest, we need to get him back to his seat. ”

Surprised by the voice of the big man dressed as a chef, she lowered her head slightly to guide me to my seat.

“You shouldn't be distracted when you're busy. ”

“I'm sorry, Dad. ”

Huff!! Dad!? The man standing in the kitchen resembling Goliath is her father?

However, as he said, the store was full of customers who were busy.

The steam from the hot broth leaking from the kitchen was filling up the store, so it felt like it had entered the veil.

After a while, I opened the menu for hunger, thanking her for bringing cold water with a towel.

“What would you like to do? Guest!"

Don Cotes (Pork Bone) Ramen and Professor in the voice of a cheerful chef. I also ordered a light drink called Highball.

Kanna, the waitress, and a small ramen house consisting of four people from the kitchen, entered their cooking as if they were putting coal in a running steam engine car.

The sound of oil splashing and people chattering...

It was the resting place of the workforce who ended the day.

“Don Coz Ramen and Highball are here for you! Please wait for the teacher. ”

When I swallowed the Hurook noodles, I had a glacial smile on the taste of the brimming broth in my mouth.

“Wow, this ramen is really good. ”

“Thank you! Is this your first time at our shop? ”

“Yes, I live in Rockefront. I've lived in Japan for a long time, but Harajuku doesn't come here often...”

“Welcome. In fact, my shop is a pretty famous ramen house in Harajuku. ”

“Oh, really? Somehow the ramen is very good. ”

“Sir, where are you going today? Are you familiar with the program" Onaka Swata "? ”

Umm? If it's the Onaka-Shita Award, then it's Yuki's late night food drama.

“Ah… yes. I know, right? ”

“Hahaha! That's right. Actually, my shop was introduced there in five. Since then, more and more people have come to visit us. It's not a storefront at the station, but it's a great day for visitors to this secluded street ramen house. ”

Somehow I felt like I looked familiar inside...

I slowly swallowed a highball with cool ice and looked around the store, and there was a photo of the main character and the host hanging around the store.

Then I looked at a picture that was hanging in the corner and I burst into laughter. Then the host tilted his head and asked me.

“Do you know him? ”

“Is this the woman in the picture... the drama writer? ”

“Huh? That's right. How can a guest do that? ”

Kanna opens her mouth after completing the calculations at the counter.

“He's a broadcaster. ”

“Huff!! Are you sure?”

“Yes…? No, I...”

Ugh... What's wrong with this story?

In the end, thanks to the service and the addition of Karaoke (fried chicken) to the teacher, I was bloated and ordered another glass of highball after my meal.

“Did you get your meal right? ”

“Oh, yes. It was really delicious. ”

“Haha! I can't believe you're Yuki's husband. What brings you to Harajuku? Is there something else you want to cover? ”

“Actually, I'm here to see some musicians performing on Takeshita Street. ”

“Oh, you mean the indie band or something. Phew! I wouldn't have much to say about that. It's killing me these days. At the beginning of the evening, I would sing a song that didn't sound like much music, and I would squawk and squawk and squawk, and at first it would be tolerable, and then the fortress would seem to be way out of line. I don't know where to sing such a harsh song in Tokyo Tower. Those are the disgrace of our Harajuku. ”

Don't you know your daughter is singing on the street? ’

I turned my head slightly and looked at Kanna, and I was somewhat convinced of the look on her face.

I swallowed a sip of the extra highball and told the host.

“Actually, I'm not with the station. ”

“Oh, really? Did Yuki tell you about this place? ”

“No, it's just a coincidence that I'm here. I was just looking for someone, and I came in hungry. ”

With a slight look back at Kanna, emphasizing who the word is, she starts to wipe the table with a red face.

“Huh! Did you find him? ”

“Yes. Luckily, I found it overlapping. ”

“That's great. ”

In the host's reply, I left the highball smiling and got up from my seat.

“Here's the math. Mr. Kanna.”

“Oh, yes. ”

While cleaning the table, she hurriedly ran to my call and stood in front of the register. Luckily, the register was a bit far from the kitchen, so I opened my wallet and took out the card that I didn't give you yesterday at the same time.

“I'm Kang Jun-hyuk from the Pentagon. ”

“Is it a... is it a company? ”

Don't you know our company?

But it's a company that knows a lot about the game, and I asked her again just in case.

“Raon is a company that built a portable gaming device. Don't you know it? ”

“Oh, I've seen my friends do it before, but I don't like games...”

Well, maybe it's not an advanced time for Internet news, and if you don't like games very much, you don't know.

I said, holding the business card with the money in her little hand.

“There is a game that we are planning this time, and we really need Kanna's voice to play it. Please think carefully and contact us. ”

Then he glanced back at the host and added a word.

“I can give you absolute secrecy. Don't worry."

“Ah…”

“Oh really!? The place where you had dinner tonight was Kishimori Ramen? ”

“I know. I was surprised to hear from the owner. ”

“I was going to tell you to go to Harajuku, but it worked? ”

Yuki, smiling in the bathroom, sat in his arms for a day, added by clicking his nose to see if he remembered the taste of kimori ramen. I opened the magazine with a bloody smile on her reaction.

“Oh, I want some kimori doncots ramen, too!”

“And the teacher was delicious, too. ”

“Huff!! Teacher! I want to eat Teacher too!”

“And karaoke...”

“Ahhh!! I hate it!! I can't wait! ”

“Haha! Sorry. ”

“By the way, Jun-hyuk was looking for Kanna in Kishimori Ramen. Funny coincidence. Last year I saw her, she was in high school, and she was so beautiful. ”

“I see. Kanna was good...”

“· · · · · · What did you just say? ”

“What did I just say? ”

Phew!! Phew!!

The type of transmission that jumps over the speed of sound by bouncing off one of the cushions in the blink of an eye with the elbow. Yuki, the breastplate of a cushion pillow, has been hanging over me since she dropped her predator on the floor.

Is this why people say not to think about anything else during conversations?

December 23, 1994.

Almost a month has passed since I met Kanna and handed her my business card, but I still haven't heard from her.

It even has a company phone number and mobile number, but if you still haven't heard from him, isn't the singer thinking?

I wanted to go to Kishimori Ramen's house again, but I decided to just hold back, which seemed to burden her for some reason.

When the public auditions were announced through Pammy Communications and popular gaming magazines for a new project, it seemed like it would take some time for many candidates to audition.

‘Let's not rush into it. If she wanted to, she'd come to me on her own. ’

I took a deep breath to explore the streets of Akiba in order to suppress a nervous mind.

Recently, Japan's game market is truly the abomination of chaos.

The console market was fragmented with Sensoni's ‘Gear Station’, launched in early December, as users were reluctant to hesitate about which devices were better between the Gear Station and the NEGA Saturn.

The first gear station in the gaming industry was armed with extremely strong performance, but there were some anxiety factors.

How much will Sensoni, the giant oyster, invest in the game market to win the game?

Even in the early '90s, when superfamilies and NEGA drives were booming, there was a new console company, but the third party didn't get it and so many companies collapsed like the wind, so Sensoni could not ignore the possibility of early glittering and collapsing businesses.

Is that why rabbits are king in a cave without tigers?

Without further information on Mintendo's project 64, the console market was strangely transforming into the competition between emerging companies Sensoni and the Second Factor NEGA.

Of course, I was confident that no matter how brilliant the Sensoni's gear station was, I would be able to surpass it as a NEGA.

Despite its outstanding specifications, it has been a strong support for Real Fighter's Suzuki Ryu and Sonic's Taka retention along with the know-how that has been making the game.

But a surprise ambush appeared in front of a self-confident NEGA...

It was the NANCO that abandoned Mintendo and stuck him into the Sensoni Faction.

Prior to Mintendo's project 64, the NEGA's plan was to seize this opportunity to take out third parties belonging to Mintendo.

NANCO, who had considerable awareness for its users, suddenly launched a 3D fighting game called "Rage Driver" and "Iron Fist" on the day of the release of the gear station.

Otherwise, the 'Iron Fist', which was often compared to the ‘Real Fighter’ at the arcade center, was launched into the gear station recently, and users came rushing towards the gear station without any need for you.

The main body price set at 34,800 yen was 10,000 yen cheaper than the competitor Saturn, so users unhesitantly raised their hands at a better performance than Saturn and a cheaper gear station.

Thanks to Saturn's uneasy beginnings with magazine criticism and censorship.

In a market structure like that hell, our Pentagon was slowly walking its own path. And as a demonstration of the results, the Pentagon's Premium Shop was crowded with users from the early evening.

“Here you go, folks. If you stay in line, I'll give you blankets in order!! ”

Along with Miyazaki's cry, a number of employees began handing out blankets with illustrations of "God's Gift."

500 blankets specially made for today, but...

‘I don't think we have enough room for this...' ’

Tomorrow is December 24, 1994.

Graphic Noble with Classic is the official issue date of the genre "Gift of God".
