These four buttons that appeared simultaneously were also the final buttons of the game.
When the Music ended, Tanaka Masao and Eriri both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tanaka Masao knelt on the ground, hands propped up, gasping for air.
"It's just a game, why is it so intense?"
Eriri on the other side wasn't doing much better; as her body relaxed, she simply lay down on the floor.
She subconsciously looked towards Tanaka Masao.
Coincidentally, Tanaka Masao also looked in her direction at that moment.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the other's somewhat disheveled appearance.
"You're not bad."
"You too."
Both of them laughed in unison.
Exercise and games always bring people closer together, often without them realizing it.
······
Because dancing had consumed too much of their physical strength, neither of them felt like moving much now.
They found a coin pusher machine and sat there, inserting coins.
As they inserted coins, they chatted idly.
"Hey, Tanaka, don't you think this coin pusher is just about putting coins in? What's the point?"
"Imagine you put in one coin, but it gives you back a hundred coins. Wouldn't that be exciting?"
"It's only a hundred coins, what's there to be excited about? And normally, you might put in a hundred coins and not even get one back, right?"
"But the thrill of a small investment for a big return always makes people happy."
Before Tanaka Masao could finish his sentence, a reward sound came from Eriri's machine.
Eriri exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, a payout! Twenty-something coins, lucky!"
Looking at the surprised Eriri, Tanaka Masao couldn't help but retort.
"Didn't you just say a hundred coins wasn't anything to be excited about?"
Eriri replied as she gathered her rewards.
"I said a hundred wasn't anything to be excited about, but I didn't say twenty. Hehe, today I'm going to win all the coins."
With that, Eriri started frantically inserting coins.
Coins were sent into the coin pusher one by one.
······
Until more than half an hour later.
Eriri had inserted all the coins she had, and the game finally ended.
She stood up from her seat, letting out a rather displeased snort.
"Let's go, let's go, this isn't fun at all."
Seeing Eriri like this, Tanaka Masao couldn't help but complain inwardly.
[You weren't like that when you were getting rewards just now.]
The displeased Eriri naturally had to find a place to vent.
She led Tanaka Masao to the shooting game area.
Picking up a gun, she started shooting at the enemies on the screen.
Gun shooting always gets people's blood pumping, even in a game.
Eriri quickly immersed herself in the thrill of shooting.
"Shine~ Shine~ (Die~ Die~)."
Watching enemies fall one by one under her gun, Eriri couldn't help but let out a joyful laugh.
Tanaka Masao, who was cooperating with Eriri nearby, couldn't help but shift away a bit, seeing her so frantic.
Fortunately, this was just a game; if it were real life, he was genuinely afraid that Eriri, in her excitement, might even shoot him.
······
A hearty shooting session left Eriri feeling physically and mentally refreshed.
All her frustrations were released with the shooting.
This time, they came to the claw machine area.
However, unlike ordinary girls who love fluffy, cute plushies, Eriri clearly preferred other things.
"Oh, this figure is quite alluring, a very nice model."
Eriri operated the claw, while making a "hehehe~" perverted laugh and going for the figure she had her eyes on.
"Damn it, just a little bit more."
"Why is it so slippery?"
"This machine must be rigged."
After several failed attempts, Eriri gradually became agitated.
She turned to Tanaka Masao, who was watching the show, and called out.
"Hey, Tanaka, you must be good at this, come help me."
Tanaka Masao pointed to himself, asking in confusion, "Why do you think I'd be good at it?"
In his memory, the original owner had hardly ever played claw machines.
And in his previous life, he played often, but hitting it once out of ten tries was already good.
Eriri, with her arms crossed, said matter-of-factly.
"There are so many nice figures here, you must often make a 'hehehe' perverted laugh while grabbing them and taking them back to your room to play with them however you like."
Hearing this, Tanaka Masao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Eriri, retorting.
"Please, I've never done anything like that, alright? And it seems like you're the one making the 'hehehe' laugh, right?"
Eriri didn't give Tanaka Masao a chance to explain, pushing him in front of the claw machine and urging him.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and grab it! You have to get it for me today!"
To this, Tanaka Masao said nothing more, but operated the claw.
It's just a claw machine; if you try enough times, you'll eventually succeed.
First try, failed.
Second try, failed.
Third try, failed.
······
After trying seven or eight times in a row, Tanaka Masao still hadn't succeeded.
Seeing this, Eriri couldn't help but complain.
"Are you even capable of doing this? Can you get it out or not?"
"You're the one who told me to come. Just wait a bit longer, I feel like it's going to be over soon."
"It's coming out, just a little more, come on! Come on!"
"Success!"
After continuous attempts, Tanaka Masao finally managed to grab the figure out.
It was then that he let out a long breath, sighing.
"It's all because the figure's box was too smooth, hard to grab, otherwise I would have succeeded long ago."
Tanaka Masao was making excuses for himself while trying to retrieve his trophy.
But someone's hand speed was even faster than his.
Eriri quickly snatched the figure that had fallen out of the machine, her eyes shining.
It was clear she really liked this figure.
Looking at the figure he had worked so hard to get, Tanaka Masao said.
"Eriri, let me see the figure too."
Looking at Tanaka Masao's outstretched chubby hand, Eriri was quite wary.
"What are you going to do to my figure?"
Seeing Eriri, who was like a hen protecting her chick, Tanaka Masao felt a bit helpless.
"Well, it's still the figure I grabbed, so let me take a look too."
Tanaka Masao's words were reasonable. Eriri hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth, as if making a huge decision.
"Then… then fine, but only for a moment, okay?"
"Hehehe, then I won't be polite."
"Oh, it really is beautiful."
"Are you done yet?"
"Wait a bit longer, let me look more closely."
"Hey, stop it! She's my figure now!"
"What's wrong with just looking?"
"No means no! Only I can look there!"
Just as Tanaka Masao wanted to try to observe the details of the figure further, to see if it was exquisitely made and lifelike.
Eriri stepped forward and snatched the figure away.
"Give it back to me."
She shielded the figure behind her, saying fiercely, "If you want to see it, go grab one yourself."
"But this was originally grabbed by me."
