Game Market 1983

< EP. 40: Social Activities. (4) >

“Hey, man!! Kang Jun-hyuk! I'm here too!! Pretend you know!!! ”

“Got it. Got it. Do you and I see each other for a day or two? Why are you mumbling so much today? ”

In fact, I already knew why Jun Fei wanted to be next to me.

An interview? Well, if it wasn't for me, you'd have a much easier interview if you asked the Pentagon clerk around.

What he really wants is to be with Misato a little more, who we've been reunited with for a long time. No more or less.

And as I expected, he was grumbling at my face and chasing me behind Misato.

As I swallowed a smile into Jun Fei's actions, I suddenly heard someone's urgent shout behind my back, rolling my head slightly over what to say in the interview after a moment.

“Come out quickly!! Our oldest son was just found by the paramedics!!! ”

“What!? ”

Then Misato, who was next to me, opened his eyes wide and asked him.

“Where is it? ”

“Yes…? Oh, it's... it's not that far from here...”

“Show me the way!! ”

At the end of the conversation, Misato takes his cameraman and disappears like the wind.

I mean, I can do it anytime, but I can't miss that kind of specialty.

Jun Fei looked at the rest of me alone and said with a bloody smile.

“How does it feel to be ignored? ”

“Um... I'm sorry. ”

“It's okay. My friend's kid.”

Jun Fei lightly tapped my shoulder, imitating a shy bureaucracy, and said after.

“You were rescued almost 60 hours after the earthquake. What a miracle...”

The people in the auditorium were gloating with relief that the child, Tayama, was alive. Among them, some people I used to know quickly started running behind Misato, dressed in their clothes.

And then I saw a little stranger running out of the auditorium with his naked eyes, and I chased him with my own two eyes.

He was a kid who had just been sitting alone on a swing in the playground crying.

“Huh…? ”

“Why do you know him? ”

“It can't be...”

“Huh? What is it? What's wrong with you?”

I heard Jun Fei's voice behind my back, but my feet had already started running along those who were heading to the rescue site.

“Hey!! What's wrong with him all of a sudden? ”

&

After a while, how long would it take to run through a pile of crumbling contours in an alleyway turned to rubble?

I saw the back of Misato's cameraman with the paramedics dressed in orange.

And next to him, the little boy earlier was holding his parents' hands and watching the rescue site.

Is that it?

When Jun Fei and the paramedics arrived on site, they were using the ledge to lift the concrete heap. Then a middle-aged man, who appears to be the head of the paramedics, shouts over the radio.

“Is the crane ready yet!? How long is this going to take? ”

“Cheeky!! We're on our way there now, but there are a lot of obstacles on the way, so it's going to take some time. Ticktock.”

“Hey, man. Is that what you want me to see? The patient is exhausted! ”

“Tsk!! We'll ask you to move as quickly as possible, and we'll ask you again. ”

From what I hear on the radio, it looks like there's still a lot of rescue going on...

Around the pile of crumbled contours, the villagers who were watching the scene were holding their hands together and praying.

The rescue captain frowns and shouts at the crew holding the foundation.

“Don't ever put your hands there!! Even if it collapses, it's really bad!! ”

“Yes, I understand!! ”

The three rescuers who were holding on to it with full body strength, forcefully replied with their heads held high.

“All right, just hold on for a second. I'll go in. ”

“Yes? But, Captain!? ”

“I think it's a long way to get the crane to the hospital, but it's the only way to get it to the hospital fast. ”

The head of rescue, who had let go of the equipment he was wearing, lightened his body as much as possible and headed for a narrow crevice where the child fell down.

However, the gap seemed too narrow for the middle-aged and extremely sturdy head of rescue to enter.

“Dammit... can't you just open up a little more?" ”

“No. That could break the foundation. ”

“Ugh... Damn it.”

The child's mother, who was trapped under the scene of the accident, cried as she looked at the head of the rescue, with a mournful look on her face.

“Oh my baby... Please save my baby. ”

However, it was difficult to stand up to anyone in an urgent situation.

The child's parents wanted to go in and save the child, even if they could, but they were both so heavy that they seemed to be quite difficult to get into.

It was then.

Misato, who had reported some urgent news from the scene a little distance from the people, lowered his microphone and headed to the rescue supervisor.

“I'll go in. ”

“Yes!? ”

“I think I might be able to get into that gap. ”

“No. But considering the second incident, we can't have civilian help...”

“That's not the point. If you just hang in there a little longer, I'm gonna go in there and get him out first. ”

Then the people around her looked at her in surprise.

I felt it from the first moment I met you, but your personality is broken once.

I was amazed at my inner self. I took a moment to look at the crevices of concrete and slowly stepped forward.

“I'd rather go in there. ”

Then some Pentagon employees who followed me shouted in an urgent voice.

“Director!! It's too dangerous."

I took off my suit and tie and left it as comfortable as possible for the staff to move around. I don't know how to squeeze it a little bit, but I think I'll get in.

I tried to loosen up a little and walk to the scene, but someone grabbed my shoulder.

“Wait.”

“Yes…? What is it, Junpei? ”

“You fool. You and Seohyun are just born now. What if it breaks?”

Jun Fei took a moment to look at the crack in the scene and opened his mouth, swallowing a dry saliva.

“I'd rather go. ”

“Yes. That's a good idea, since you're thinner than me. ”

“Huh…? No, wait…”

“Jump in, send the kid up, and you're out. ”

“No, wait, wait. I was thinking about my parents...”

Suddenly, I whispered in Jun Fei's ear, quickly pulling Jun Fei out of the way to see if something was wrong.

“If you make it back alive... I'll give you a figure for the 'Psychic Force’ exhibition you wanted back then. ”

“Give me two. ”

... you daft bastard. I never thought I'd hit a deal like this. Eventually, I nodded and replied to Jun Fei's offer.

“Cole.”

“· · · · · · · Yes. I'll go.”

Eventually, Jun Fei, who was skinny, decided to go to the rescue site to pick up the child, threw his thick parka away and shoved his leg through the crack in the concrete.

I and the paramedics stood around the site and stood against a huge concrete wall.

When Jun Fei turned on the flashlight that went down, I noticed the child who had fallen over the dark space.

He was a little taller than the kid on the swing, but he was skinny and could easily escape through the gap.

“I'm breathing!! Alive!! ”

Then you hear a bass of concrete debris falling in response to Junpei's voice.

The rescue manager relayed the message to Jun Fei in a calm voice.

“If you scream too loudly, the vibrations will make the interior ring dangerous. Is there any injury to the child first? You're bleeding or something.”

“I... don't think so. You just look very tired. ”

“Okay, now just slowly drag the child up to this side. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Jun Fei slowly pulled the child along with the rescue captain's advice and came close to where we were.

“Okay, you're doing great. Just point her head up and over here. ”

As he carefully lifted the child's head against the concrete, the rescue supervisor put his hand under his armpit and dragged him out.

“Wow!!! That's it!! That's it!!"

As his body left the scene of the accident, the people around him began shouting in unison. Even Misato and the cameraman, who were capturing the scene of the rescue, were delighted with their excitement.

“Hey, well done. That's cool."

“You... you have to keep that promise you made to me earlier...”

“Got it. Got it. What do you want me to do, donate the entire diorama to Pammy? ”

“No, I don't like that. Then it's not mine. ”

I went down with a nervous look, and my mouth was still alive.

I gave Jun Fei the strength to hold Jun Fei's hand reaching towards me with a smile, revealing white teeth in the dark.

It was then.

Fazec...

Huh...?

“The foundation is broken!!! ”

A concrete wall twice my height struck us with the voice of an urgent lifeguard.

“Stop it!! ”

Kuang!!! At that moment, I stood against the concrete wall on my shoulders instead of the embarrassed paramedics at the broken ground. The weight of concrete was greater than I expected, and my legs almost faltered, but the rescue commander and his crew pushed the wall up in a hurry and managed to make it through.

“Hey, man. Hurry up and come out!!! ”

“Oops!!! ”

Suddenly, Jun Fei, who had a white face, crawled out of the ground four times, and the rescue workers slowly put the concrete on the ground. At the same time, I sat down on the floor and breathed out loud.

“Phew... Ten years.”

“Wow!! Thank God. I'm so glad...”

I felt sore on my shoulder, but I was also very proud of myself thinking that I saved a friend. Then why are your shoulders so wet...?

I'm not sweating.

He turns his head and looks at his right shoulder, and his white shirt is covered in blood.

“Oops!! Director!!"

As soon as the Pentagon staff saw my shoulder, they rushed toward me.

Apparently, the steel that was protruding from the concrete was torn apart.

Gosh... If this had been a little twisted, it would have gone through your arm...?

Luckily, it wasn't a big wound, so I slowly got up and stood up because the torn wound wasn't hot enough to use my arm.

Then Misato, who was watching all this, approached me and opened his mouth.

“This is going to be more of an interview, are you sure you want to do this? ”

&

A month has passed since I traveled to the earthquake with the Pentagon staff, and the news revealed my interview with Mr. Misato. I felt a completely different perspective on the Pentagon Soft.

The first company to find the scene of an accident after hearing about the earthquake. Director Kang Jun-hyuk, who jumped into the rescue site and saved lives.

With the active support of relief supplies required for evacuees, a special A/S policy to replace broken consoles for free for disaster regional gamers has contributed to a massive rise in corporate imagery called the Pentagon.

Previously, if it had been a company that was only familiar with gamers, this would have been a way to grow into a likable company that was loved by the people of the archipelago.

Meanwhile, the media commended the Pentagon in an interview that they had developed a policy like this to repay users for their generosity, and the resulting image promotion effect began to rise above expectations.

However, when he did not stop there and announced that he would automatically use some of the proceeds for migrants when purchasing DL editions of games released to Raon through game magazines, he began to double his downloading revenue using handsets.

What was also interesting was the child we saved, and the first thing the child said in the hospital opened his eyes.

“Been locked up in the dark for 60 hours, Hiro. May I ask what you most wanted to do at the time? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Anything's fine. Can you say something?”

“Raon...”

“Hmm?"

“Raon really wanted to do it. ”
