Game Market 1983

“How's Sawano? ”

The doctor, who was too old to ask my questions, swept his glasses up and expressed his colors.

“We've overcome dangerous odds, but honestly, it's a miracle we've survived so far. I think you should be admitted now...”

So that's it?

No, I'm just thankful for Tsubaki's mental strength, which he's endured to this day. But Terrada, who came to the hospital with me from the live hall, didn't want to acknowledge the teacher's words.

“No, sir. Her voice has just begun to ring!! We have a lot of work to do. ”

“Mr. Terrada, you need to calm down...”

“Teacher!! Teacher!!! ”

I led Mr. Terrada on an excitement trip to a small park in front of the hospital.

Sitting on a bench with a hollow face, Terrada asked his mouth about the cigarettes in the pockets of his shirt.

Looking at him quietly, I snatched a cigarette from his mouth.

“I understand the feeling, but I don't like smoking in hospitals. ”

“Oh, I guess so. There are other patients…”

He tucks his pack of cigarettes back into his pocket and asks you.

“What are you going to do now? ”

“What can I say? I've been ready since I took her in anyway. Now I'm just thankful that she's gone through a dangerous ordeal. ”

“You're calmer than I thought. But I can't do that. because the whole time I was coming to the hospital, that's all I could think about if she didn't get it right. ”

Terrada, who started her first job as a producer because of Virtual Idol project, spent a lot of time with the trainees who had passed the audition.

I had left everything to Terrada and Ueno about the trainees because my knowledge of music was similar to that of the general public.

The four debuts were also decided after reflecting on Terada and Ueno, of which Tsubaki was also heard to be a particularly dear trainee.

Not if the penalty for her illness had any effect.

Tsubaki already knew how to carry emotions in his voice, so hug the song that everyone was reluctant to hear because it was the most difficult of all. ’I chose it without hesitation.

When she first sang her song in the recording room, Terrada once saw the cigarette she was biting falling and falling into her voice without even realizing that her thighs were burning.

“I was so excited about the debut yesterday...”

“This is a bad time. It was the first time we were all on the stage together, so...”

So what happened after she got admitted to the hospital?

At the start of my conference, she collapsed and was immediately transported to an ambulance waiting outside.

It was a good thing we had an ambulance standing by in case her health deteriorated or an accident could have occurred during the event...

While sighing for a long time, my phone was ringing on my waist.

“Yes, I'm Kang Jun-hyuk. ”

“Ah, Director. How's Sawano? ”

“Miyazaki? I was going to call, but good. Tsubaki's fine. The doctor says he's out of danger. ”

“Oh... thank God. Suddenly I thought I was losing my mind and collapsed, and I was in trouble. It was okay until this morning, but I guess it was a lot of pressure to go onstage. ”

Miyazaki didn't know about Tsubaki's illness, so she didn't know why she came to the hospital.

I surprised her and asked her about the event going forward.

“The Tsubaki stage must have been chaotic because it was canceled, and there was no rebuttal from the users? ”

“I was very sorry, but something miraculous happened. ”

“Miracles...? ”

“Yes. Kanna suddenly decided to sing for her, along with Sawano's songs. ”

“Kanna...? ”

Obviously, Kanna's skills aren't enough to replace Tsubaki.

Kanna was fortunate enough that the live event itself could have ended in vain.

“Anyway, the event was a complete success. Oh, and the board's conference ran out of extra portable rayons yesterday. We may have additional orders in case of a portable Laon sale going up in the meantime. ”

“Yes. Good work today. ”

“Should I clean up and go to the hospital? ”

“No, it's okay. Sawano's parents are here now, and so are we. You must be tired from the launch, go in early and get some rest today. ”

“Yes, I understand. Oh, right. I had a great time at the last draw of the launch ceremony today. ”

“Funny thing? ”

“Do you know who was on Complete Laon and all the launch softs? ”

“Oh, by the way, there was a raffle. By the way, who was on board? Do I know you? ”

“Are there any other Nakamura couples who used to be Kanna's friends? ”

“I know that couple. By the way, I met them in the purchase queue again today. ”

“Yes, that's right. Jules picked a number, and they were so excited that they won Nakamura's girlfriend's number. You're lucky Nakamura got blown up by the Complete Raon he bought today, right? ”

“No way. Was the Nakamura military the one who stole Laon in front of the Pentagon? ”

“I guess I did. Even if I could blow up the game console, this would be news to me. ”

“Don't tell me life's a joke."

Nakamura's heart must have gone back and forth between heaven and hell today...

You don't know her, and if Kanna told you, I'd make it up to you, but I'm glad things worked out.

“Well, then. The report for today will end here. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

&

August 19, 1995. Complete Raon was launched.

The third generation of console complete raon since the release of the NEGA Saturn and Sensoni gear stations has all become a headline at the same time.

The flying incident of Complex Raon, which first bamboozled Nakamura, frequently occurred not only in Akihabara but also in gaming shops throughout Tokyo.

At first, I thought it was a simple theft of gamers aiming for Complied Raon, but when I learned that there were many robberies of Raon in Tokyo, I even thought it might be an organized crime.

And then a few days later, As the demand for Complex Raon surpassed expectations, all of the initial output dropped, a second-hand online trading community began to emerge with sealed products at twice the regular price.

Among other things, I caught a user changing his ID and uploading the same content while maintaining some price, and I used the Pentagon staff to buy his complete raon at a high price.

Of course, whenever I made a deal with him, I sent another employee, and the police always followed me near their place of business.

How many times do I have to repeat myself? A young man carrying a complete raon had always been the same person with a different identity, demanding receipts for where he had purchased it, but constantly stumbling upon his suspicious police presence, while investigating him, he witnessed a flying scene with a friend.

In his room, dozens of raons poured out, and on his desk, a checkbook popped up when items from the Tokyo game shops came in.

In a planned crime, a young man in his mid-20s had an unfortunate incident in which he was incarcerated directly with a friend.

This crime, aiming for a console that is not valuable, has become a big topic to be seen on the news, and ironically, it has had a little marketing effect.

The original Complete Raon was issued a week before its official release. Although it was scheduled to be launched at a gaming shop in the earthquake affected area, the schedule was cancelled due to the size of the store of the owners who had opened the gaming shop in the affected area.

The fact that you can play a new game device for a week first suggests that almost all gamers across the country are preparing for a massive migration could have caused a very serious accident, so the owners asked you to postpone your order…

There was some understanding.

Instead, I nominated Virtual Idol's first formal concert as the Kobe area.

Katagiri Erika and Kono Azza are the first characters to compete live there.

Their stages will start at separate venues at the same time on the same day.

How far will your chosen character go?

Will Virtue Idol actually have his own units to make a formal debut?

Since they were all in the game they were playing, the gamers couldn't hide their excitement either.

Plus, the stage costume, which was released as a live item on the first day, became enormously popular as soon as it appeared in the magazine.

A cute green checkered costume and a cute bread hat on his head pierced the hearts of the users.

Of course, the person behind them smiling silently is the head of our second booth design team. Morita, but...

“Heheheh... This should work for the gamers. I don't think anyone can cut it down without coming to Kobe. ”

At first, he was moaning about how hard he was going to die, and then he got into it.

Recently, it seems that he is only planning to wear Idol's costume with Uchimura, who fits well with him. Sometimes when I see Morita at work, I feel like she's shining crazy in my eyes.

“How much for this flower over there? ”

“Aren't you going to the hospital? ”

The florist came to my question with a warm smile.

“How did you know? ”

“Our shop is close to the hospital, so guests often come to buy flowers. And everybody asks each other for a flower that you picked. ”

The owner said, I scratched the back of my head and replied.

“Oh... it just seems okay...”

“Patients also need some kind of stimulus. This flower is already full of one in the room, so how about a little glamour? ”

I was the only one who could distinguish flowers from roses, so I didn't know what flowers she recommended, but I didn't hate the taste of pastel tones.

“Well, I'll do it your way. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

After a while, when I arrived at the hospital with a beautifully wrapped basket of flowers, I stopped in the parking lot and looked up at the building.

In the bedroom window of Tsubaki, under the bright sunlight, there were white flowers that I pointed to earlier.

“Haha... Good to hear from you...”

As I looked into her room, I took a small sigh and moved on.

- If we operate now, we'll probably never sing again. Please... help me sing on stage for once. - What?

When Tsubaki woke up, she reminded me of what the surgeon who recommended surgery immediately said.

I could not answer her request to sing on stage more than anyone else.

“Perhaps I should give you an answer today...”

Even if she's disappointed in me...
