Game Market 1983

< EP. 43: Absolute pleasure. (1) >

“I just finished answering a few questions and would like to remind you that all of our events at this event have ended. And we've prepared a special event that one of our employees would love to hear right now. ”

Sadly, half curious, Hayashi looked at me in the grave with one hand on his chin in the audience. I smiled and added.

“Four years from now, December 1991. In the presentation of the arcade game Psychic Force, I once proposed to a woman. Did any of you attend the event at the time? ”

At that time, Miyazaki, the manager of the Pentagon Shop, raises his hand with a playful smile. I turned towards Hayashi, throwing a bloody smile at her like that.

“In fact, when I think of those memories, my face is still burning. I would not have had to be so ashamed if I had been brave enough to propose before. Oh, of course, I don't mean that I regret the proposal.

Rather, I got married the year after that, and now I have a daughter named Seohyun, and I have a happy day every day. ”

Having brought it up to this point, Hayashi looks around for Kaori, wondering if she felt any anxiety.

“Unfortunately, we have a temple with the same name as Yukinozo Kaori for God's gift. Winning the top of the Tamago Monster Contest, she joined the Pentagon to create a cute monster character called Rabbi in the New Sword Legend series. She, who is a bright character and an ambiance maker, has the courage to stand here because she has a story she wants to hear from a man. ”

When Jun Fei used to secretly squeeze Yuki and force him to open the proposal, did he feel this excited too? It's a pleasure to set someone up.

Of course, I don't want to get hurt, but...

The people sitting in the audience were also smiling similar to me if they had noticed the situation. Only Hayashi looks pale and stares at the stage twice...

Soon after the spotlight turned on onstage, two power rangers blocked his way in front of Hayashi, who was about to leave the concert hall in a hurry.

“Where are you going? ”

“Where are you going!? ”

I smiled unknowingly at the fact that my brother posed for the battle of the Power Ranger, following his words.

“F-move. You bastards. Hurry!! ”

“No. Kang Jun-hyuk, who bought me a sugar apple, told me not to let anyone go outside. ”

I hurriedly summoned Kaori onstage, avoiding his gaze of grief and turning my head toward me.

“Well, that's all I have to do. I want you all to give her a big hand. ”

“Wow!"

Oh, my God!

“Yippee ~ ~”

Kaori appeared on the stage in the cheers of many as he whistled, resembling Yukinozo Kaori's last concert outfit.

Like Kaori in the game, she was also a cute girl with a lively atmosphere, so the reaction was good in the auditorium.

“Thank you. Thank you. Gentlemen...”

With his hands tightly wrapped around the microphone, Kaori's slightly red cheeks feel very cute. When I stepped off the stage and stood beside Yuki, she held my hand tightly.

“Well done. ”

“It reminds me of old times...”

He smiled gladly at the stage, and Yuki asked me.

“Who are those kids who got in front of Hayashi? ”

“A little taller was saved by Jun Fei and me a long time ago. I ran into him earlier at the night market, and I bought him sugar apples in advance in case something like this happened.”

Hayashi eventually turned to the stage to return to her seat.

“Awesome!”

“Whee! ”

Eventually, as I approached him onstage, giving up everything, Hayashi gripped my hand with a bloody smile.

“So this is what the director was after. ”

“Well, that's a good thing. Just close your eyes for once and do whatever Kaori wants. These moments are only once in a lifetime. ”

“... have you forgotten that this is my home? How am I supposed to find this place? ”

“I did it at the Pentagon Shop No.1. If you're embarrassed to propose here, can I move you there? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Hayashi stares at me dumbfounded and turns to Kaori. I gave Yuki a round of applause looking back at Hayashi.

Then I thought, maybe it was because of Kaori that Hayashi's demeanor had always changed.

Initial Hire.

She makes frequent mistakes because of her grumbling nature. She always scolds Hayashi, but she doesn't shrug her head like a sunflower.

Rather, I did everything I could to get recognition from the people at the company. Maybe Hayashi didn't like Kaori at first, but eventually he fell in love with her.

A moment later, as he approaches Kaori, Hayashi suddenly kneels before her and picks up something from her pocket. Huh? Did he...?

“I used to carry it around with me when I had the chance...”

“Oooh!!!! ”

“The ring!! Ring!!"

“Cool!! ”

Kaori glances at him quietly, covering his mouth if he was surprised by his unexpected gift.

“Hmm, Mr. Hayashi, you're sensible. Unlike someone who was forcibly proposed to me at that time.”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

... Shit. It's backwind. Reverse wind.

I was going to return the disgrace I suffered, but Hayashi's precision was much higher than I expected.

There was one song recently that ended with Gala's concert and the launch of Complex Raon entering the unofficial Oregon chart at a tremendous rate.

That song is like Savano Tsubaki's hug. ’It was a song.

If there was a user camped out in front of the Pentagon two days ago to save her public mini album, there was a person holding a pet saying that he would buy all three albums for 30,000 yen.

As I watched the line grow hotter and hotter for the summer, I was worried that everyone would fall into this state.

“Otsu!! Hello!”

As I turned my head to the voice behind my back, Nakamura and Mayumi, Kanna's friends, approached me the other day. Among them, Mayumi, Nakamura's girlfriend, gave me a cool drink.

“It's you. I gave Kanna some of Tsubaki's albums in advance. Didn't you get it?”

The Nakamura soldier smiled and replied.

“No, thank you. Today I just came to look around while I was out in Akiba. ”

“Really?"

“By the way, there are a lot of people. Are these the people who came here to save Tsubaki's album? ”

In Nakamura's question, I nodded quietly and slashed my neck with the drink in my hand.

Mayumi, who was listening to us quietly, asked me.

“Who sang the Tsubaki song this time? As soon as I got the album to Kanna, I loved it so much that I kept listening. I heard from Kanna that she's a very nice, caring sister. She said she sings a lot better than you...”

“I see. That's how everyone feels, but a lot of people are after the Tsubaki album this time...”

Then Nakamura interrupted the conversation with an excited voice.

“After the Gala Concert, Hokkaido was announced for the first time in the area, and there was tremendous interest. The Virtual Idol community is looking forward to releasing local albums. ”

In Nakamura's story, I looked at the queue with a bitter smile.

Tears burst into tears as I watched the camcorder video of his song and people's reactions at the Gala Concert.

Then Mayumi, who was looking at me, asked me.

“What... are you doing? Is there something wrong? ”

“Oh, nothing. I'm busy. I have to go inside. It's hot, and we need to get drinks back to the people who are waiting. ”

“Well, we'll be going, too. The day complete raon is released. I'll come again!”

“Okay, go in safely. ”

Looking at the back of the couple heading back for a moment, I turned my head and looked at the line stretching slightly. If so many of those people who love her songs come across news of her illness one day, what enormous things will happen?

I wouldn't want to see that if I could.

A month later, August 19, 1995.

The issue date of Complete Raon, which has made competitors in the current gaming industry tense from the ground up, is approaching.

Exactly four years after the launch of Raon in August 91, the defensive follow-up model was launched for 32800 yen at a price similar to that of the competition model.

On top of the white box was a stereoscopic depiction of complete raon painted with fluorescence.

It was a hot day in the middle of the summer, but the long and happy smiles of those who were looking forward did not leave their faces.

Nakamura and Mayumi waved their hands at me in the queue as they now go to the streets to check on the volume of Complete Laon to be sold with Hayashi, a legendary Pentagon romance gaio.

“There you are. ”

Unlike Nakamura, who looks a little tired a month ago, dark circles came down to the ball.

“Three days ago, I was so excited about the launch of Complete Laon that I couldn't sleep...”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Thank you for being a developer, but apparently your mind control wasn't very good with the game Nakamu. Mayumi, who was looking at Nakamura like that, kicked her tongue and asked me.

“When will Sawano Tsubaki characters be revealed? ”

When she asked, I looked at her watch and answered.

“Open in 10 minutes, and we'll start selling right away. ”

Those who stood near my words roared with elasticity.

“I think they're about to start. ”

“Khhh! I can finally play idol with virtue. ”

“I have to start with full metal gears. ”

Even with the console price, it seemed that people were thinking of one or two titles in each head. Then I heard Hayashi's voice behind my back.

“Director, shall we begin? ”

“Yes. Let's get started. ”
