Vol 2 Chapter 20 (1/2)
This chapter was…a fun one to translate. Enjoy~
The next attraction was an arcade centre.
The sight of the large bright hall filled with many machines baffled the Ojou-samas.
UHO Catcher(Claw Crane), photo booths, arcade machines, etc……
““““……………”””””
The Ojou-samas, shocked, stood frozen in place with their eyes and mouths wide open when they saw all these things for the first time.
It’s as if they were on a trip to another planet.
To me, neither MAX Burger nor arcade centres were uncommon. But it was still surprising that these Ojou-samas of the highest cla.s.s in the society which commoners wouldn’t have a chance to meet being overwhelmed by this. To be honest, I found this kind of amazing and felt happy about it at the same time.
“……Kimito-sama”
Reiko spoke with a pair of watery eyes.
“To be able to partic.i.p.ate in this field trip, I feel really blessed……!”
“G-good for you.”
The staff waiting near the machines lead us as they explained the instructions for playing the games.
The Ojou-samas who felt scared yet interested at first enjoyed themselves thoroughly after playing games for awhile.
The hall became a sea of laughter and smiles.
Among all of the arcade machines, the most famous one was the UHO catcher.
The SEGAPRIZE dolls in the machines that were cute yet mysterious to the Ojou-samas had caught their attention.
“I got it!”
Reiko released her inner potential as she easily caught one, earning praises and cheers from the people around her.
Compared to the crowded UHO catcher machines, the arcade machine area was more quiet.
Only Aika and I were alone at that place.
——We’ve failed……
This arcade centre was built on my suggestion.
One of the few things Aika was good at were the video games she always played and some major fighting games to some extent.(I am going to use an EX skill!——that kind of level)
“Well, once they are done over there, they might come here later. Let’s relax and wait.”
“………”
Aika sat on the chair in front of the machine without uttering a sound, just like a kid throwing a tantrum.
Oh come on……
I once again glanced over at the area where the UHO catcher machines were located——and spotted a small group facing a few difficulties.
Seems like they couldn’t catch any of the dolls.
Although the number of staff totalled up to almost ten people, it was still too hard for them to aid each and everyone of the Ojou-samas.
——Ah, we’ve failed again……
I regretfully looked at the Ojou-samas who were depressed. At this moment——
“……Go help them.”
Aika avoided my gaze as she said that.
“I’m okay here, so go help them.”
……Just like the ‘Commoner Party’ from before, she was very considerate of others.
“Come with me.”
“……It’s fine.”
“I see. Then I’ll be back soon.”
“Ah, Kimito-sama……!”
“Can you teach us how to play?”
Their faces brightened with happiness.
“We’re indebted to you!”
I stood in front of the machine.
Everyone surrounded me as they looked at me with expectant eyes.
……It feels a little uncomfortable.
The machines here didn’t require you to insert a token to play.
After pressing the START b.u.t.ton, the music played out from the machine.
Although I’m not really good at UHO catches, the way the dolls were placed looked easy to grab. Furthermore, the crane handles were large enough to easily grab them.
It looked super easy.
“Now I’m gonna pick that up over there, keep your eyes open!”
“Yes!”
I showed them how to move the crane to the most suitable spot to grab them successfully.
The doll dropped out from the hole below the machine.
“Okay, take this.”
“……Are you giving it to me?”
“Of course.”
In an instant, the Ojou-sama hugged the doll tightly.
“I-I’m eternally grateful! I will cherish it for the rest of my life!”
To be honest, I felt a little embarra.s.sed to be thanked like this.
“T-then, why don’t you give it a try just like I did?”
I spoke to the other Ojou-sama beside me.
“Yes!……T-then, I shall start.”
She pressed the b.u.t.ton and moved the arm horizontally.
“Ah, right there! Stop pressing the b.u.t.ton!”
“Eh?……Ah,Ah……”
