There are a variety of facilities in the northern part of Perfect Town, Amusement City.
Yukie was interested in one of them, a year-round indoor skating rink that had just been built a few years ago.
"You've never been in here before, have you? Why don't we play a little bit?
Stop and turn to the skating rink, Yukie speaking.
"Fine, but I've never skated before, Yukie will tell me."
"No, I've never done it either, but I thought I'd like to try it."
That's why Lu and Yukie came to skate for the first time as a combination of both beginners.
Since it was a weekday evening, there were not many people in it, but the children and students were still visible.
"It's very difficult to walk..."
Yukie, who was wearing skate shoes for the first time in her life, walked on the floor in unfumbling footsteps with only the blade grounded and remembered the fear that she was about to fall.
"Really?
It's also supposed to be my first land, but this one walks perfectly flat. On the contrary, I can't walk well enough to take one hand of Yukie and walk in support of the time of need.
"Thanks......"
Gratefully thanking you, keep your hands connected to the land and head to the 400 metre track skating rink.
Land slips cleverly with the hood attached to the hoodie at eye depth as he steps into the skating rink without hesitation. When walking downtown or going to a crowded area, conscious of the security cameras, the minimal disguise was land, but the accompanying Yukie pierces the familiar outfit of shortbread in the blouse, so it can also be said that the land disguise effort doesn't make much sense.
When I said it was my first time, the land was slipping like any other guest, as if I had experience. The other guests do not know that the eyes of the land are closed because they are wearing hoodies.
Yukie, on the other hand, was looking at the land with her hands on the fence at the end of the skating rink and her feet trembling, with a rare and flashing look.
"What is this difference... How many motor nerve differences make it so different..."
It's no surprise that Yukie now has the sense to adapt to any movement because he has enough fighting power to match his opponents with multiple guns, but he actually tried it and was even more amazed at Yukie, as opposed to Lu, who is mildly doing what is very impossible for him.
Yukie repeated for a while the act of taking her hand off the fence and slipping a few 10 cm but grabbing the fence again, grasping the feeling of slipping little by little.
"Shall I slip with you for a moment"
When I see Yukie like that, the land I was gliding and enjoying by myself calls out.
"Fine... I'm embarrassed. I'll take care of it by myself."
"No, I think it's quicker to get used to slipping to me than doing it that way. I'll be fine if you're about to fall."
To put it that way, Lu was forced to take Yukie's hand and slide out.
Yukie, who was always faceless, became a panicky face mixed with fear and embarrassment all this time, and then even blushed. Concentrate your consciousness on the hands of the land you fall and grab, while at the same time desperately striving to maintain your body's balance.
At first it was in the form of being pulled to land, but I found that the land had stopped moving my legs from halfway through, so I try to imitate the land foot carriage and slide on my own.
"Take your hands off me for a second. I'm starting to feel like I can slip by myself."
"Oh, be careful"
Land lets go. Expanding his hands erratically, Yukie managed to maintain his balance while successfully slipping alone.
"Oh my goodness. Well, I'm gonna slip by myself."
"Thanks......"
When I look at Yukie and tell her without hesitation, Lu slips out at speed and leaves Yukie. Somewhat disgruntled, Yukie dropped it off.
Yukie's memories of Koichi's time passed through her brain. Memories of picking up a crushed eye kitten, taking it home but being rejected by my parents and throwing it away.
(Now the cat I was abandoned...... why not? I was distressed when I threw it away, but he went all alone)
Sigh and slip to follow cursorily after land.
When it came to land, I was also tired of slipping normally, speeding and slipping in the back.
"What is that guy, backwards and so fast?"
"It's like you got eyes behind you, you're shunning it cleverly."
"Buck is forbidden..."
Seeing the land slip backwards at quite a speed, the other guests wander. Before the attendant came to pay attention, the land got tired of slipping early and went up from the skating rink.
Yukie had slipped on her own for a while, even after the boring land of Tachi stopped, but she soon got tired and exits the link.
"If you think this just seems easy to slip, that's not true at all. It's hectic, and I'm sweating. Fun, though."
Coming to land, Yukie said. I'm tired, but above all driven by my desire to take off my skate shoes quickly. I can't get used to the discomfort of tightening my legs.
"It's a little early, but let's make it dinner"
Land pointing thumbs at the restaurant just next to it.
"I'm just happy to think about that guy I love, but at the same time, my chest is about to get ripped off -"
As I'm eating about my seat, Mika Tsukinawa's song plays. A ballad that revealed a rare heartbreak for positive Mika. But it is also the best-selling song. I complained about the spiciness of my breakup and the pain I couldn't think of. Lyrics.
"This singing, Mika Tsukinawa actually broke her heart and made it in the momentum of that shock, she screamed on TV."
"Hmm."
Yukie explained, but Lu was like an uninteresting bare gesture.
"I knew you wouldn't stop this time? I don't want Mika Tsukinawa killed, she was kind of awfully guarded, and I don't care how much land she's in danger."
"Don't be bitter if Ip Mountain fails to stop Ashiya"
"Even if I succeed, Mika Tsukinawa will be gone, and either way I fall, I'm a disgusting development."
The two continued to eat silently for some time afterwards, but the land opened its mouth after finishing the meal first.
"Yukie, if I go over the game, you're going to quit the game, too, as far as I'm concerned."
To that statement by Lu, Yukie feels disturbed and palpitates faster.
"This game, I often say shit games and stuff, but I get a lot of shit annoyed by serious bug abandonment and a lot of game balance crazy, but it's still funny"
Land talking with a smile that looks really fun.
"I can't see what lies ahead of this game and what happens at the end, so I want Yukie to see it instead... I don't know."
"You know, land... Something not flagging death right now?
"Don't tell me because I have a feeling about the game over. I've been meaning to tell you this one day."
To Yukie's point, land makes me laugh bitterly.
"I've been alone for a long time. I've been playing this game alone for years. Yukie is the player who finally got around. So..."
"I'm similar. I was alone. So, if the land is gone, I'm alone again, but you're telling me to go on alone?
"Yeah, well, it's not just me and Yukie, and even if I'm gone, I might be able to meet some players with horses and have fun playing games."
Listening to Lu, Yukie realizes her feelings are sinking. I don't even want to think about land when it's gone. And it's hard to be told by land like no other when it happens.
Old memories come to mind again. Always think.Did someone really pick up the crushed eye kitten? And did you live properly and happily ever after?
And now I think so too. I wondered how that cat had his eyes crushed. It is believed that the eyes alone were injured when they were covered with something like a red scab. Are you gonna do that kind of injury? If it's just a disease, I still wonder if it was crushed with someone's malice.
I couldn't have had that cat myself. I couldn't save you. But now I was picked up and saved by a blind land. Don't seem like a terrible sarcasm.
"I don't want to leave land, I don't want that to happen, I don't want to hear any more"
Yukie said in a clear tone, even though it was top-down.
"So I hope you don't even imitate danger. If Ashiya is likely to be waiting, she won't bother to go. For me."
The last word was that Yukie herself was surprised. I accidentally revealed it.
"I know how it feels, and it's painful to deny it even though they said so much, but it's boring to just play where safety is assured. It's only fun because it's dangerous. Of course I'll run away as soon as I seriously suck. This game is an instant game over once you die, and then you'll lose your character, so you'll have to try a completely different character to play it again."
I figured it would be useless to say it, Yukie exhales small.
"Of course, I will try not to get hit, even with the nuance of not leaving Yukie alone. So don't worry about it."
But in response to that word that Lu told him in a powerful tone, Yukie raised his face and looked seriously at Lu's face. Seeing land with a gentle smile as if to appease Yukie, Yukie felt her palpitations roar again.
"Super sloppy! I don't know."
"Don't you want Magiusa? Stop it for a second. It feels good. Sooooooooooo."
"Broomstick, broomstick, broomstick"
"Ha-ha-ha, he's in there."
"Eh! Seriously, Pajin! CHIN PAJI is not awesome!?
Immediately afterwards, several high school girls sit at the table next to each other with a grunt. After I sat down, I kept talking out loud, and the conversation between Lu and Yukie stopped altogether. Land smiles are also disappearing.
(Uh, this is unsavory...)
Yukie could easily imagine what would happen afterwards.
"Five nasty JK bitches showed up. Attack, Gun, JK Bitch"
Shortly after Lu muttered quickly, the gunshots clinging several times, screaming. The smell of sniffing nitrous smoke and blood snorts.
"Ahhh...... it was a good vibe because of it"
Unfortunately squirming, Yukie drank all the juice left in the cup at once and stood up to escape the scene.
