Around mid-July.

The summer is deepening, and it's about time the summer vacation begins again...

That day was an important one for Arisa.

"Wow... this is your salary, isn't it?" Money at my disposal "

Arisa, who dropped the transferred money at the convenience store, said emotionally.

Although the amount is by no means large, it is still the amount of the high school students' pocket money.

"That's good, Arisa." So what do you use it for? "

When Yutoshi asked, Arisa looked happy.....

"That was Yutaka-san's..."

"Did...?"

No, I'm not telling you.

I squinted in a hurry.

Even though Yusuke thought that she was cute, she thought it was innocent to dare to reveal the secret, so she decided to skip the story.

"Well, whatever I use it for... it's my first salary." Why don't you use it as a memento? "

"Is it a anniversary... or a commemoration?"

Arisa muttered to herself.....

Then I tilted my neck.

“For example, what is it?”

"Eh...? What kind of thing... what kind of thing?"

I don't know what kind of commemoration would be if I was told that.

It looks like something better than a memento, but I don't want anything left that I don't need.

By the way, what did Yusuke use it for?

"Did you buy a game console...?"

Are you using it?

I haven't used it.

It has become a so-called "loading gay".

Of course, I'm going to do it someday.... someday.

"I thought so.... ah, but speaking of games..."

What do you say?

You probably didn't go to the game center with Yuuki-san, did you?

"The game center... oh, surely not."

I've been on a lot of dates, but I haven't been to the game center yet.

Because of its specifications, the game center spends a lot of coins and money.

Both Yusuke and Arisa had restrictions in terms of the money they could handle, so the game center was naturally distant.

"I'd like to play with Yu-san... okay?"

Fine.

Like Arisa, Yusuke was on payday.

I don't plan to spend a lot of money in the near future, so I don't have to waste a bit of money in the gaming center.

"Well then... how about after school tomorrow?"

"After school tomorrow? Well, I don't mind... do you mind if it's not Sunday?"

Game centers may have a time limit depending on age.

Of course, if you go early on Sunday, you can play for a long time.

"Because I don't want to play so much. and....."

And what?

"... I'd like to go on a date with my uniform after school."

Arisa blushed slightly.

And tilts his neck small.

"Can't you...?"

No way!

There was no way I could say no.

Well, the next day.

Yuzu and Arisa visited a large shopping mall with a gaming center.

If you get tired of playing games, you can choose to shop at the window or dine at the food court.

By the way, has Arisa ever been to a gaming center?

Yutoshi thought that it would not be possible to think of it from the pattern that had existed up until now.

Yu-san is by no means familiar with the game center, but she said that she had to properly lead the first Arisa, and she was just a little bit tense.

Yes, there is.

"Huh, I see... do you have one?"

You've been there when you were little.

When I was little.

Yusuf thought that this was probably before his parents died.

... if you think about it, I've even been to Yusuke, so I think Arisa has been there once or twice.

What are you doing here these days?

You went there about two weeks ago.

"... eh?"

It was surprisingly recent.

Yu String's brain said by herself, "Eh, eh!” Arisa, who was playing games with a hoarse voice, came to mind.

Alone?

"... that's not how it works, is it?"

”Oh, I see... who are you talking to?”

No way, not with a man.

Sister... is it a cousin? Yusuke imagines that.

"It's Yayuki-san and the others. But you didn't play so many games. I took a picture of a prick."

"Ahh... I can imagine that."

It must have been four high school girls who took pictures while calling it a capture.

Arisa had a relationship, too.

It's only natural that such an experience should take place before Yuji sees it.

... that said, it's a pity that Arisa's "first prickly experience" was stolen.

Showing the pictures later, Yusan made up her mind to ask Yayuki and the others.

"Well, anyway, as a matter of fact. Won't you do it?"

It's a crane game......

It is a game in which the crane is operated with the button at hand and the prize is dropped.

It's a game that's always in any gaming center, but it's rather unusual to have a gaming center without one.

Have you ever done it, Yuuki-san?

Of course.

What did you get?

I don't think so.

Yusuke has never won a prize in this game.

Yusuke wondered if it was something she could acquire in the first place... maybe it was a city legend.

"I thought so. Yu-san, you're not very good at games, are you?"

"No, you're the only one that's strong... and you're good at simulation games?"

"That's right." You're really good at being mean, aren't you? "

"... are you still pulling?"

In the past, Yusan played a strategy game with friends including Arisa all night long.

At that time, Yusuke had repeatedly tricked and mercilessly invaded Arisa.....

Arisa, who was beaten up, did not listen to Yu-chan and her mouth for a day afterwards.

And I still have it on my roots.

"If you take it... I'll forgive you."

Oh, you're here.

Yusan turned her arms lightly and played a crane game.

I've never gotten a prize... but the situation of "lover asking me to get a prize" is a royal road.

By being watched by Arisa, I might be able to work my wondrous powers... I felt that way.

Put the coin in and move the crane.

"... oh, oh, oh!"

Wow!

The crane grabbed the stuffed animal.

Slowly, moving toward the exit....

“You're kidding!”

"Ahh..."

I fell on the way.

Yu String drops his shoulder.

Arisa's eyes were a little cold.

Yusan felt very sorry for her.

"... wait a moment, Arisa." I'll look into the tricks. "

Take out your phone and hit "Crane Game Strategy".

Meanwhile, Arisa was waiting for Yu-Shin who was investigating...... but she stood alone in front of the crane game.

Well then, in the meantime, I'll do it.

While listening to Arisa's adorable ringtone, "Eh, eh!", Yusuke reads an article about the crane game strategy.

After lightly reading the sampling and gaining confidence.....

"Alright, Arisa. Next time, I'll be sure to..."

I did it!

Huh?

There was a rattling sound, and the doll came out of the exit.

Arisa took it out happily and hugged it with both arms.

We did it.

"Oh, I see... I'm glad."

Yu String felt a little complicated.

"... can you teach me the tricks?"

"No, no... it's okay."

Crane game technology is useless in life.

If there was a useful situation, I'd say "I'll take it for my lover".....

If Arisa is better at it, it won't work either.

Perhaps in the future, there will be an opportunity to "take over for the child", but if Aisha is better than Yusuke's dad, there is no need to dare to train Yusuke.

"Being a lover is a way to make up for what's missing." Yeah, well, if you're good at it, you don't need me to be good at it. Yeah, Risa was good, and I saved her. "

"Ahahah..."

I was made to laugh.

Yu String felt very frustrated.
