I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

023. do it alone!

Was it a meeting with a dress code?

Doah’s outfit when she opened the door was exactly the same look as mine.

“…ah?”

Perhaps it was because we were conscious as soon as our eyes met, the two of us first exclaimed exclamations instead of greetings.

“Ah… how are you?”

Seo-soon changed hands, but I said hello first.

“hello.”

Doa also slightly lowered her head, as if she had finally come to her senses.

…embarrassed.

It seems like we are closer than when we met for the last assignment, but why is it so embarrassing?

Rather, it seemed that it could be more because it was a meeting without force.

“that.”

I, who had been standing in front of the house for a while, opened my mouth.

“yes.”

“Is the arcade far from here?”

“ah! no? You can reach it in about 15 minutes on foot.”

“okay? Is it this way?”

I roughly turned my body towards the bus stop, and Doa followed me.

A quiet weekend afternoon.

How do people see a man and a woman wearing a gray hoodie and jeans going down the alley side by side?

It was obvious.

Even since it was near a university, the answer was no different.

“That… my brother…”

As if it was embarrassing to walk without any conversation, this time Doa opened her mouth first.

“yes.”

“Have you ever played any other rhythm games?”

“Did you do a little bit on your cell phone when you were little?”

“Which one?”

“There was something that just came down from the top of the note and played it like a piano keyboard.”

Looking back, it has already been about 10 years since I did that.

“A sonic beat?”

“Five. right. Did you too?”

As soon as he heard the explanation, Doa answered right away.

“ah. I did it for a very long time. I was smart enough to unlock the song and that’s it.”

“okay? I didn’t spend money because I didn’t want to spend money.”

“That’s because a lot of the songs that are popular with masters are paid songs.”

Doa moves forward with her arms crossed and a majestic appearance.

It felt even cuter to face Luca-tan in real life, whose shoulders are filled with mulberries whenever he talks about games he is good at.

Maybe because she’s so short, it might feel like she’s walking fast, but her stride was no different from my normal gait.

“Today’s new game has a different feel from Sonic Beats.”

“Is it more difficult?”

“It’s up to you. The principle itself is slightly different, so…”

Doa worked hard next to me and explained the basics of the game.

Most of them are what I have already heard in the video I prepared for yesterday.

I pretended to hear it for the first time and listened intently to Doa’s explanation.

Arriving in front of the arcade, we went inside.

“It’s been a while since the arcade was really open.”

Standing in front of a fighting game I often played with a friend in the past, I was lost in old memories for a while.

“brother. Do you like it?”

When I grabbed the joystick and shook it a couple of times, Doa asked me.

“ah. I had a lot of drinks betting with the kids.”

“…Do well?”

“no? Speaking of which, it’s a bit embarrassing, but it was more like a drink shuttle because we lost each other.”

Haa… At the time, I thought I would win if I tried again, so I tried again and again.

There was something happy, but a bitter smile came out at the bitter memory.

Now that I think about it, it must have been a pretty stupid decision.

It was because the bastard I dealt with was a dog dog.

“Then let’s do that together later. I’m not good enough.”

“A bet?”

At the word bet, Doa’s eyebrows raised only one side.

“brother. I’m not a fighting game expert, but I have a few moments.”

If he says he’s a crap, do you really think he’s a crap?

My friend was a master, not that I was bad.

“hey. If that’s the case, I don’t have a lot of experience bringing drinks to the kids.”

“Then let’s eat well in advance~”

…Lukatan.

You don’t know, but I’ve already bought you a box of drinks with one dollar.

It was a mindset that did not want to be collected even in the real world.

“First, change the coin and come.”

In front of the coin changer, when Doa put the bill inside, coins poured out.

“sleep.”

Doa put exactly half of it in my hand.

“…Do you do this a lot?”

There were 10 500 won bills.

“ah. It ends sooner than you think, and if you’re going to try other things besides rhythm games, they’ll end sooner.”

I nodded my head shyly as I had never spent more than 3,000 won even after spending a lot.

“Rhythm games are underground.”

As I followed Doa downstairs, I heard all sorts of music.

Even just looking at it, I could see people who gave off a pose of a deceased person.

Oooh… how do you do that.

I laughed out loud at the level where my fingers were barely visible.

It was not for nothing that they said that the world is wide and there are many deceased people.

“brother. this way.”

As I was stunned, Doah, who stood in front of the device, waved at me.

“Once you start, press this first.”

When the tutorial window popped up, I pressed the buttons one by one as instructed.

“how about it? Did you understand the concept?”

“You just have to press it when you see it.”

“Please think of it as fitting to the beat rather than the concept of being seen.”

“okay.”

When I put in a 500 won coin and entered the song selection window in earnest, it was difficult for me to manage my expression.

“Why aren’t you choosing?”

“Ah… I wanted something fun.”

The truth is just the opposite.

There are many songs that I know too much.

Since it was a device made by a Japanese company, I thought there would be anime-related songs, but I never thought there would be this many.

It was shocking even for me, who is a bit of a sucker for me, to not have a song I didn’t know on a single page.

“I’ll try this.”

Still, I thought that a song I knew would be better than a song I didn’t know, so I pressed it.

As the music started, notes began to appear on the screen.

“Oh… You’re doing better than when you went to the experience center that day?”

I wanted to respond, but it seemed impossible to multitask with a rhythm game.

I was busy pressing the button right in front of my eyes.

Oh… the climax is coming.

Beats getting faster and faster.

“Go Boku no Koe~”

I couldn’t stand it, so I hummed a song in a low voice.

An opening video is drawn in my head.

Just in this scene, the heroine appears in a very beautiful way and the characters come out all over.

Somehow, after a minute or so of the game, I looked at Doa with a proud expression.

Although it was a level 3 song, the grade was A.

I knew that there were S, SS, and SSS, but it was enough for beginners to have an A.

It was an alphabet that was hard to see even on my report card.

“Well done.”

Doa reluctantly smiled at my reaction.

“ah. why. That’s good enough.”

“no. You said you did well.”

“I don’t think it’s your face.”

Doa slightly turned her head.

“But brother. Was this a song you knew?”

“why?”

“It seems like you’re calling along the middle.”

oh fuck. oh Han Tae-min sick.

I couldn’t stand this and I called Mojiri.

Why do you call it that?

I, who have been working hard on cosplaying as a normal person, wanted to avoid this situation somehow.

“ah. I set this up for the friend sitting next to me to meet.”

“…this one?”

“Because he was a kid who liked things like this too.”

“Aha.”

Doa nodded as if she could.

“Because I am very famous for singing. this. It’s a very famous anime opening.”

I know.

I know.

There are also goods in our house.

“Next, let’s try something a bit higher level.”

This time, the designated song is level 5.

There were definitely some guys that popped out faster than 3, so I missed a lot.

“It is not easy.”

My fingers hurt because I had no knack for hitting continuously.

“The song you just did has a pattern like this.”

Standing in front of the device, Doa stretched out her hand, which was much smaller than mine.

“If you make it into a shape like this, you can press it easily.”

It was Doa who explained it as if it were an instructor’s skillful demonstration, but I, who was watching it, had a question.

“But shouldn’t you just press this with your little finger and index finger like this?”

“no. Because you can’t?”

“Why not?”

“That doesn’t reach the distance. of course.”

Doa talks as if she were the truth of the world.

“That’s because you can’t reach it.”

I smiled as I did what Doa showed me with only three fingers.

“look. This will work.”

In fact, when I succeeded in doing it, an earthquake occurred in Doa’s pupils.

“…why is that?”

“Your fingers aren’t good enough.”

Just as most musical instruments such as the piano and guitar have a lot of advantages when they have long fingers, rhythm games seemed to have a corner like that.

“Hey… I followed him because he said he was a master, but I have a lot of faith…”

playfulness reigns

In the first place, my source is an evil Pingtuk.

Isn’t it a natural desire to make fun of Luca when he sees Ulta?

When I tapped on the shoulder of Doa, who was sitting with a devastated face, Doa lowered her head.

“…are you going?”

“What?”

It was so quiet I couldn’t hear it properly.

“ah. Then why don’t you do it alone!”

The slight blush on her face indicated that I had touched her pride.
