No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

- After that incident, I told all kinds of people that I couldn't do it and asked someone I knew to contact Kagi.

Kagi-san is a benefactor to my life.

It's no big deal or anything. It was Kagi-san who literally saved me that day, when I couldn't move with my hips in front of the passageway.

Kagi, who helped me as a stranger, was shot dead, however, by a police officer mistakenly as a passerby.

It was on the bed of the hospital where he was put in charge that Kagi found out he was dead.

At the time, the information was complicated, and some stations were reporting Mr. Kagi as a passerby.

I caught a policeman and explained the truth.

At first, the police did not want to move, but when I told reporters I would explain the truth, they were in a great hurry to announce the correction.

What would have happened if I hadn't revealed the truth?

A journalist I knew at that time said the police were going to use Mr. Kagi as a passageway. If Kagi is a passerby, the police can announce that the officer's shooting Kagi was an unavoidable measure. Kagi is a lifelong loner, an introverted young man who hobbies the game, so even if he announced that he was a passing away, he would have convinced both the press and the public.

I think it's outrageous.

I couldn't allow that to happen, and if I had been interviewed by newspapers and television, at some point Kagi's accidental shooting case would have developed into a major problem involving public opinion.

Under the influence of this, Kagi's profile was also reported in each station newspaper, but the way he reported it remained the stereotype of "introverted youth whose games are poorly connected to their hobbies" without a single step.

In such a reported way, I feel sorry for Kagi.

That was what prompted me to think so.

I wanted to gather as much information as I could about Mr. Kagi.

But the information that can only be gathered by me, who is only a high school girl, was not something that approached the face of Chiki Kagi, who helped me with the press reports or the uncertain and fragmented information on the Internet.

I feel sorry for not doing everything thoroughly. I decided to find out for myself about Kagi.

That's what amateurs do, not detectives or detectives. I went looking for people I had a relationship with in my lifetime, Kagi, as I was asked by various people, tempted, and angry.

There was also the advice of a journalist who told me about the police response to the incident, and many months after the incident, I was finally able to hear from Kagi's colleagues at work.

However,

"Kagi-san, what was he like?

In response to my question, Kagi's former colleagues silenced him with a difficult face.

"Oh, um...?

"Yeah... Kagi-kun. Honestly, you don't know much about him."

"But I heard you were the most intimate colleague in the workplace..."

"Sure, you might have been the closest thing in the workplace, but you couldn't say you were very close. He didn't come to many workplace drinks."

Although I met some of Kagi's colleagues, he also said that Kagi had a hobby for the game for the first time in the press. Incidentally, Kagi's work was an industry that had absolutely nothing to do with the game.

I tried to find something else that Kagi didn't have as a student friend or ex-lover, but I just found a high school classmate.

They didn't have much connection after high school, and I could still hear Kagi's high school episode. They were sagging in the class with a few classmates who liked fighting games. but she said the places of study were separate, and that she wouldn't be friends anymore. I also got testimony that I don't think I had a lover in high school.

I was puzzled that the more I looked into it, the less I could understand Kagi's face.

As it is, it follows that he was a lonely man with few friends and no lovers.

I thought it would be too sad then to say that you were the one who helped me out like a hero in the story.

So, uh, I remembered.

Kagi said there were reports that he was a regular at the gaming center right next to the crime scene.

How could I have ever forgotten this?

That's probably because for me, being a high school girl, a gaming center was a place to take prickles and play crane games, and I didn't have the very idea of having a connection with someone there.

But Kagi-san is a "regular" in the game center.

I couldn't imagine, but would you say "regular" just to go to the gaming center by yourself and play games?

There should naturally be a connection with the clerks and customers of the game center.

When I thought of that, I couldn't stay or stand, and I decided to go to the game center where Kagi-san was going.

I was scared to go to the gaming center just before the scene of the incident, but I didn't think Kagi could just avoid passionate hobbies until he avoided dating.

However, except for the fact that it was close to the scene of the crime, for me, a regular high school girl, Kagi's attendance at the gaming center was a difficult store to get close to.

I didn't put any prickles away. It was an old-fashioned dim gaming center, so it took a lot of courage to get in.

I heard the name of the game Kagi-san was playing.

They call it a slam fighter.

It meant it was a famous series that had been around for over twenty years, but I had never heard of it without a man or brother.

Standing around the slam fighter enclosure (which I learned later that you were going to call it), watching the game arm in arm, he said, "Handkerchief now?" and others whispering to each other in a terrible voice.

I really wanted to look for a woman, but there were only brilliantly men on this occasion, so I picked a man with a company-style, grown-up atmosphere to talk to.

He also seemed surprised to be spoken to, and, oddly enough, introduced me to a man whose play just seemed to set him apart.

"Mm-hmm. Keyseeker was a good reader, wasn't he?

He said he wasn't able to do a lot of combo practice or anything because he's a socialite, but I think he had a lot of combo accuracy instead. You said you were good at practicing tips.

He was stronger here, but there are a few players stronger than Mr. Key.

But he seems to play as good a price as he does when he fights the superior, and he plays madness many times in the games. "

Keyseeker is Kagi-san's player name? Apparently.

It also seems to be a name that I have caught, and some of my lovers are searching for the key that I dropped.

There I felt like I had seen one scale of Kagi-san's face.

Kagi-san was no invincible hero.

That horrible passageway cut me off with a knife so many times that I was about to lose even in Moami, and you still tried to help me by not giving up.

It seems cool, muddy, and the habit is that Kagi has a floating vibe somewhere.

But I don't really know what the game is about.

"Oh, you know... you're not talking about games, you're like him..."

"Yeah... because he wasn't such a good guy to hang out with...

Mr. Keys, we know, is the kind of guy who lays his exchanged hundred-yen balls on top of the enclosure, stares at the game screen with a nibble, turns the lever and taps the button. "

"... is that right?"

It is also known in the press that Mr. Kagi has no relatives.

Although the Prime Minister has spoken about the National Honor Award being given to Mr. Kagi, he doesn't have any relatives, so it seems to be up to who to give the souvenir to.

On top of that, it turns out that the police officer who misfired Mr. Kagi was a habitual law breaking drug and it's gone, and the story of the National Honor Award has floated around the universe, he said.

- Poor Kagi.

He said he fought the Passover with his life and helped me, but he was shot dead by a bad cop, and after his death he was used for the popular flotation of the regime.

Besides, I can't believe nobody remembers what Kagi was like when he was alive...

My vision seeped.

"Wow, hey, what's up, you?

Hey, did I say something bad... "

"Yes, no...... sorry.

No one knew about Kagi, so I was sad... "

There was an image of the game center being a bad place to go, but of course Kagi was a sweet person when he saw me cry out.

- It is not until after the scratch that this person finds out that he is also a user of the water stop (a tao that comes out of a slum fighter)/flower bird tattoo in Japan.

Hanabi Tartarus is a young man with a calm atmosphere like a Taoist immortal, although he seems a little odd.

So I thought you would agree with my words.

I thought you'd be sad about Kagi, who died without understanding from anyone.

But Mr. Hanabi Tartarus rebelled strongly against my word.

"- That's not true.

Mr. Kee isn't really a very talkative person, and we didn't hang out outside the game, but we talked to him for hundreds of hours - via this guy (...) "

That's what Mr. Hanabi Tartare said as he indicated the arcade enclosure with his thumb.

"That's what some people do here.

Only via the game - I wouldn't even say it, but there are clumsy people who say that it's better to play the game than to put it into words, that they can tell themselves to their opponents.

I play this game because it's funny and funny to 'talk' to people like that, and I spare my leisure time.

Mr. Key will probably be the same.

Mr. Keys' choice of throw and blow is largely released. The middle section reads this one's movements and releases a special attack.

He spoke more eloquently about Mr. Key than any other word, and what was said is still in our players' minds.

So, I don't think Mr. Key was the lonely one.

Instead, no player is so pushy, so eloquent, and so sensitive to their signs. "

"Pushing and eloquent...?

I have already met several people who know Mr. Kagi.

They were, as I pushed them with my judgment, the guy who didn't talk much, didn't get to know me around, and honestly I wasn't sure.

Of course, having regard to me, he said farther away, but none of them "knew" Mr. Kagi in the true sense of the word.

At this time, Kagi-san, whom Hanabi Tatsuki spoke of - yeah, the impression of Slam Fighter player Keyseeker was something completely different from the impressions I've heard so far.

"I don't... I don't know.

Because I've never touched a game.

- But I want to know. "

If I were your brother or brother, I might have had that opportunity, but unfortunately I didn't have a man's brother.

"Right.

If you're interested, you should try.

However, I'll tell you first, the laying of fighting games is expensive.

Especially women, many can't go on until they find out how interesting it is.

The game geeks who are in and out of here, they have a girlfriend these days, and they bring her here occasionally, but often their boyfriends don't eagerly preach.

So, if her reaction is like that, her boyfriend's legs can be a little far from here, too, and if she's left behind, she'll feel a little rusty.

No, for the record, I think I can tell you Mr. Key's style of play.

But Mr. Kee is an ancient ginseng gamer, too, so I think it'll take him a long time to reach his frontier.

If that's okay with you, let me know.

- Are you interested?

"I 'm-"

If he asked me if I was interested, the answer would have been decided.

"I'm interested, I am.

Teach me a game of fighting. "

- Then two years later, I - "Key Collector" Michi Kasese will defeat the fierce gathered from all over the world at REVOLVE, the world's largest fighting game.
