Chapter 13:GAME
"play what?"
"well, how about"
She gets up from her chair and go to the television, she's getting something below the television that is inside on the cabinet.
And the she shows it to me.
"this"
A console?
"and what we will be playing is this"
It's a DVD game namely speed for race, judging from the name and the cover of the DVD, it's absolutely a racing game one.
"why?"
"well, I'm bored so I want to have a little entertainment to remove some of my distress at least a bit by playing"
By distress, you mean work?
Come to think of it, back at the time where she's coming back to work from shopping I wonder what happened after that.
She's probably getting a scolding from being late which give her an distress and it will be tripled because of work.
I won't say the she don't deserve it but quite a poor thing.
"okay then"
I don't have a reason to refuse anyway and I can have a little fun here.
She connects the DVD player and the console to the television.
I thought she'll connect it to the computer but I guess it's small for her to play a console games on pc.
And television is a better choice.
She now puts the DVD inside the DVD player and the television pops something on the screen.
"here here"
She pats the cushion beside her that confronts the TV.
It tells me to sit there.
I comply and get one of the console she have.
The game has option to play a single player or two
I wonder why does it still ask whether to play a single one when it's already know because of the two connected console that should've conveyed it.
We both pick a 2 player obviously.
But
"what kind of car will we use?"
"the slowest one"
"why?"
"because of how long the match will end will rivals the thrill of excitement to think on who's going to win"
"is that so?"
"yupz"
Then let's pick the one who has a lowest stats.
I'm done picking mine and also she's done but what she picked is.
The fastest speed car.
"that's cheating you know"
"hahummm"
I guess she trick me to it.
"if I win, work for me like a slave with low allowance"
Aren't I already been treated like one? And low allowance?
I'd rather retired than that.
"and no resignations allowed"
".."
I'm stuck but it's not like there's no way out of it.
"it's unfair if it's only you who sets a bet here"
"so, what do you want? Me? I'm sorry but I a-"
"if I win, give me 20 times of allowance of the last one"
"huh?"
If I'm gonna multiply it 20 times to the last allowance I got then then it's 200000 yen.
"that's fine by me"
Of course someone like her so rich wouldn't be a sweat for her giving 200000 yen.
"deal then"
Let's get started now, judging from the difference of stats, the chance of me winning is low but not zero.
As long as the starting line starts from me before her.
Because there's a two strategy in winning a 1 on 1 racing game.
1. If the starting line starts from you, when the time comes that the game starts, block your opponents way. Because no matter how fast your opponent is if their way is block by you it will only push you forward because your opponent is like supporting you to go forward because their pushing behind you.
2. If your place in the last. Do a early drift when a curve comes because it's like having a little shortcut. It might not benefit much considering your opponent is fast, it will at least make the chance of winning higher.
I'd rather bet on the first one but expecting the second one will be safe.
The play is getting start.
It's a race of 1 kilometer in 2 lap which is consider as 2 km.
There's also a curvy way for a drift.
Now then, where will I be placed?
I look at it but it's so unfortunate that I'm last on the starting line.
There really is a high chance I'll lose.
I look at her for a second to see her proud face but.
Why does she look nervous, sweating bucket?
She's picking the most fastes one here where she's guaranteed to win and she's looking nervous?
Nah, she's probably acting to fool me by her expression like that time she faked herself being poisoned.
The game starts in 3...2...1
Lets go now.
I'll proceed to plan 2 because she's place first of it.
START!!
huh?
What happened right before me shock me.
My plan a nor b didn't succeed.
Because there's no need to initiate either of those.
It was because it went too well without it.
By went too well means that the opponent is way too weak.
"uugh"
She don't know how to match the speed which cause her to panic and when the curve comes she don't know how drive it carefully that it causes the car to damage that it repeats to where you've been crashed but it will slow you for about 3 seconds.
Is this her handicap because she's fighting the slowest car?
That must be it.
I got past her in the first lap but I don't think it will happen in the second.
I'm thinking that this is where she gets serious if crushing me head on.
But
In the second lap, she didn't even manage to catch up to me not even close.
I win the race with the lead of 138 meters.
I miraculously win with a big lead despite using the slowest car.
Simply because my opponent is bad.
