Chapter One Hundred and Thirty The First Young Master Ajibu Wants Me
Atobe Keigo is absolutely reliable, mature, steady and kind.
Especially for friends.
In his opinion, Shuji Tsushima was a regrettable genius who was extremely gifted but suffered from a terminal illness.
He is still a poor little man who has few friends due to his physical condition and family background.
Growing up, I could only spend various festivals at home and in the hospital.
Even the school is constantly asking for leave every three days.
Atobe Keigo's heart had already played out a scene in which Shuji Tsushima was a child, sitting on a hospital bed, watching other children go to school through the window, his eyes full of longing and envy.
Atobe Keigo: I must let Tsushima know that he can also have these happiness.
"Um..." Shuji Tsushima, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, raised his hand silently.
"Ah huh?" Atobe Keigo, wearing a short-sleeved and hooded cardigan jacket, answered as he lit his mole with one hand.
"What are we going to do?" Tsushima Shuji, who was called out from home, pulled off the hat of his clothes.
Since I went to a street tennis court with Atobe Keigo last time and wore a hooded sweatshirt, Butler Tanaka sent him a wardrobe of hooded sweatshirts overnight.
I vowed that I would have the opportunity to wear it.
"Just follow me," Atobe Keigo said confidently.
Shuji Tsushima:...Hey...
"Then I'll leave it to Atobe-kun today." Akashi Seijuro said indifferently, with a polite tone.
So Atobe Keigo took a few of them to the arcade.
Shuji Tsushima:……
Let me think about how to play you.
"Here is..." The boy with slightly curly black hair, a bandage on his right eye, and pale skin opened his iris-colored left eye.
"The legendary video game city?!" He said in a surprised and delighted tone.
"I have never been to a place like this..." There was a slight blush on his face.
Akashi Seijuro, who originally wanted to say that they were not suitable to be in such a situation, silently took back the words that he almost blurted out.
If Tsushima likes it...
Just let him play.
"So Tsushima, what do you do every day?" Akashi Seijuro asked.
Atobe Keigo: Ah... Akashi doesn't know about Tsushima's situation.
"Me?" The side face of the young man with slightly curly black hair peeking out from under the hooded sweater looked a bit rounded. At this moment, he could not turn his eyes away from the various projects that people were playing in the arcade.
"Staying in a daze at home..." Suicide in the brain?
"Sometimes I read a book..." A perfect suicide manual?
"Then do some homework..." The task of the organization?
"Talk to friends..." Prank on bourbon and scotch?
"Something like that..." The young man said and his tone suddenly dropped.
"Sorry, it's boring, my daily life." The young man turned his head to look at them sheepishly and lowered his head.
Atobe Keigo & Akashi Seijuro:......
Takahiro Kagachi: Ah.
"Didn't I take you out to play? You can play whatever you want..." Atobe Keigo said.
"No matter what you play, Akashi, Kaashi, and I will accompany you."
"Right?" Atobe Keigo asked the other two people.
"Yes." Takahiro Kachi did not hesitate.
"Ah, Atobe-kun is right." Akashi Seijuro nodded in agreement.
"Hey... Then I want to play with everything!" The young man said excitedly, looking particularly like a child at this moment.
…
Shuji Tsushima is addicted to catching dolls.
Moreover, no one was caught.
The depressive aura surrounding him has affected those around him.
People around him couldn't see his appearance, they could only see that his outstretched hand was wrapped with a bandage. Occasionally when he lowered his head and raised his head, some black curly hair and pale lower face would be revealed from the hat.
Onlookers watched as he exchanged six more chances, and then again got nothing.
He looks...even more lost...
Atobe Keigo: It’s been a whole morning...
Ever since I stood in front of the claw machine, I haven’t left it...
"Tsushima..." He stretched out his hand and pressed the other person's shoulder.
He felt the boy's body stiffen.
"Sorry...I was too carried away..." the young man said weakly.
"Which one do you want?" Atobe Keigo decided to show him the skills of a big brother.
"Huh?" The young man raised his head and stared at him.
"I want them all!" he said happily.
"Ah...isn't that too much..." As if he suddenly thought of something, he silently lowered his head again.
Shuji Tsushima: As expected of me, that’s too much~
"No, it's nothing." Atobe Keigo's tone was calm, without any panic.
After exchanging a handful of game coins, the king sets out to fight.
Then it failed miserably the first time.
Atobe Keigo: It was an accident, it doesn’t matter.
Then facing the mechanical claw that failed again for the second time, Atobe Keigo's mouth twitched.
It doesn't matter, it only takes three times, and it will definitely work the third time.
Sure enough, the third time the mechanical claw firmly grasped a little devil-shaped doll.
Atobe Keigo: As expected...
He combed his hair with his hand and was about to express his appreciation for his strength when he saw the doll falling next to the exit.
Atobe Keigo:……
"Ahem... why don't you let me try?" Akashi Seijuro suggested with a slight cough.
"Why don't you use another one?" Atobe Keigo also suggested.
"Atobe-kun means..." Akashi Seijuro said with a gentle smile.
"Let's have a game, Akaashi." Atobe Keigo said aggressively.
"As you wish, Atobe-kun." Akashi Seijuro agreed decisively.
"Arno...Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai...I..." Tsushima Shuji looked at the two people hesitantly and raised his hand stiffly.
"Tsushima, you can just watch from the side." Atobe Keigo said matter-of-factly.
"Yes, Tsushima-kun, just be our witness..."
"As a reward, both Atobe-kun and I's trophies belong to you, how about that?" Akashi Seijuro said calmly.
It shows the certainty of victory.
"Ah...referee? Okay!" The young man nodded seriously.
Shuji Tsushima: Let’s fight, let’s fight——
Although both of them looked confident of winning, their performance... was quite unsatisfactory.
The flames behind him were about to burn down the arcade city.
"Oh, I have found its blind spot." Atobe Keigo said confidently, curling his lips.
"The World of Ice——"
Tsushima Shuji: It’s here! A skill that can see through all the opponent’s blind spots! Ah...but can it really freeze the machine’s blind spots?
He recalled the report of the opponent's competition in middle school.
"Atobe-kun, please don't take it lightly..." Akashi Seijuro said in a relaxed tone.
"Eye of the Emperor——"
Shuji Tsushima:! Appeared! The legendary Eye of the Emperor! It is said that it can predict the opponent's movements and even make the opponent unable to move.
But...can it really take effect on the machine?
Shuji Tsushima stood aside and watched the exchange of eyes between the two people, as well as the pile of game coins in their hands, and fell into thinking.
