"Kang Jun-hyuk.."
When I heard the voice calling out to me, Shigere was walking from the hallway across the street.
Mr. Shigei was also holding the paperwork in his hand to report to President Kamauchi.
He looked closely at the payment issue in my hand and asked me.
"Are you done with your report? "
"Just now. What's the status on Super Maridge 3? "
"It's smooth enough that you don't have to worry. Heard you're making a psychic battle cartridge. "
"Yes, as Mr. Segae said, the cartridge is currently impossible to implement. "
"Disgusting fellow. I've raised both my hands and my feet to you. "
"Huh? You already surrendered? "
"I'm not surrendering!! Watch me. I'll show you the world's best Super Maridge. Because it's the last Super Maridge in the family, I'm also fully prepared for external marketing!! "
"I look forward to it. I'm sure Mr. Shigere will play a great game. "
"Hmph! A compliment won't do any good. Let's talk about everything as a result!! "
"Okay, I'll see you at the final presentation. "
I lowered my head slightly, smiling, and walked out of the hall.
&
A few days later, I found a game magazine with some promotional illustrations of the Psychic Battle.
Just two years ago, there were four magazines that were specialized in gaming that had only one fami communication.
"Phew... Shall we stop by one by one? "
With my heavy briefcase in my hand, I found Gameshamp, the least recognizable game magazine.
When I opened the office door, I felt uncomfortable even breathing with the smoky black smoke that ignited the raccoon's den.
At this time of year, smoking in the office was almost everyday, so I smelled like cigarettes in any building, but this place is a bit harsh... How far is it?
'I'll cut the smell off my clothes. Let's get this over with...'
He walked into the office and was wandering around, and a man with his hair halfway bared approached me and asked. The season was beginning to come in early winter, but my stomach was full of sweat on the armpits of a blue shirt, whether I was sweating a lot.
"Where are you from? "
"Oh, hello. My name is Kang Jun-hyuk, a Mintendo employee. I stopped by for a promotion on the upcoming game. "
"No, from mintendo to our magazine? My name is Murasaki, the editor of the game champion. Come on in."
The name Velho is mintendo, so it should be easy to access. But Murasaki (Purple) is a strange castle. Of course, reading the Koran will be different... but I was led to the reception room by the editor of Murasaki.
"If this is a game from Mintendo, I like it a lot, but what kind of promotional car are you here for? Is this Super Maridge 3 you're working on? "
And I said, "Oh, Super Maridge 3 is very secretive. It's called the Psychic Battle. "
"The Psychic Battle... the new IP of Mintendo, formerly known in Palmy Communications. "
"Yes, it is. I am Kang Jun-hyuk, the main director of the Psychic Battle. "
"I've heard of it. There's a competent Korean employee in Mintendo."
Unlike the old Fox Soft days, the Fortress went to a company and saw this reaction in my name, and I'm sure I've gained some recognition.
"No. I'm flattered."
Anyway, I want to stop saying hello and get out of here. I can't breathe...
I hurried out the envelope containing the promotional illustration from the briefcase and presented it to Mr. Murasaki. There was something else in the brown envelope besides the illustration, but Mr. Murasaki also asked me, picking up the envelope and telling me.
"Can I take it out? "
"Yes, please. "
I smiled and nodded, and he pulled out two promotional illustrations from the envelope. The first main illustration Mr. Murasaki picked up depicted the psychic battle that Morita was particularly interested in, and the superpower of the third blue scalpel, Aoi Tsubasa.
"Wow, this is some quality. Characters are very attractive. "
Mr. Murasaki was very satisfied when he handed over the next illustration.
"Huff!!! "
In the second illustration, Aoi Tsubasa, wounded and defeated by the enemy, looked at him with a fierce look. The parts that were wrapped around her like armor on the first page were also completely shattered and torn, making her feel closed as a whole.
"This, this..."
"It's just a promotional illustration. Haha... Are you okay? "
The Psychic Battle targeted adults more than children.
Because of the special chip, the cartridge unit price was forming a slightly more expensive mintendo at 7480 yen.
Murasaki continued to look at the two illustrations in succession, smiling in mysterious ways.
Well, this kind of reaction to the editor won't make it in the magazine...
"That must be some dramatic propaganda you've never seen before. You can use it as the main cover of the next issue!! "
"That would be great for me! Please set it so that I can see the wounded Aoi Tsubasa as soon as possible. "
"Oh, I see. But in order to write an article about the cover, we need to know exactly what kind of game this is so we can write a review."
"Remove the cartridge enclosed in the document envelope. "
Murasaki hurriedly took out what was in the envelope. The game enclosed in the envelope was a psychic battle cartridge, which was about 1.5 times longer in length than the mintendo cartridge that had been seen so far.
"Oh...? Are you sure this game is finished already? "
"No, actually, it's a trial. This is a special cartridge for magazine review journalists only. You can play up to two stages. "
"Ouch!! Oh, my God!! "
"Well, you can keep the cartridge here, or you can give it to a top reader as a gift event. Be sure to play instead, and post a review article for the Psychic Battle in the next issue. "
"Okay, let's play with the staff and post an article. "
"Then I beg of you. I'll leave you to it."
I got up from my seat in a hurry to get out of this raccoon's lair as soon as possible and forgot something, so I called for Mr. Murasaki.
"Hey, Editor. Excuse me, how much does a game champion sell a month? "
"I'm still shooting 2,000 copies of the new magazine."
"You can double that next month. "
"Yes?"
"Play the game and if you trust me, try to increase your publishing numbers. It's going to be huge. "
"Huh?"
I hurried out of Gameshamp magazine with such a strange note.
"Phew! I thought I was suffocating..."
What I do best is reduce smoking. I rarely smoked cigarettes, except for Mr. Gunpei and his business conversations.
I take a moment to put out the smell of bananas on my clothes and head to the train station.
I came to Tokyo in the morning and now I just stopped by a magazine... Suddenly... I'm so... hungry. I'm so hungry right now.
Fat! Fat! Fat!
... all of a sudden, what brings to mind the drama "Lonely Foodies" that I enjoyed in 2015?
Anyway, I'm hungry, so let's eat something and move...
&
After lunch, I stopped by two different magazines, repeated the same work that I had done in the game championship, and it was not until 4: 00 p.m.
The last place I'm standing is today's final destination, Pammy Communications.
Since I made an appointment with Jun Pyo in advance, I relaxed and opened the magazine door.
"Oh, Joon-Hyuk! Are you here? "
"Give me some water... I'm dying of thirst. "
"Why do you have to go to all this trouble just to mail it? "
"But if you go looking for it yourself, you'll earn credit. Much better than just sending a letter. "
"Well, yeah, but I'd appreciate a letter from Mintendo."
"Is that so? Haha..."
"But what is that? "
"Oh, a PR illustration for Pammy Communications..."
"Promotional Illustrative Illustrator, what is it for Pammy Communications? "
"Well, actually, there are four different magazine illustrations. "
"What!? "
"I tried my head. "
"What did... what did the other magazine say? "
"I like the illustration. I heard it's going to be on the main cover. "
"What!? Then we have no choice but to load it!! It's still between Mintendo and us, but I shouldn't have given it all to our magazine! "
"Yeah, you and me, we've got a special character for Pammy Communications. "
"Huh?"
The illustration, whether brought out by Junpei, was drawn in a seductive pose by the main character of the Psychic Battle, 'Azsa Wren'.
"Now, why don't you clean your nose for a second?"
"Really? Why don't you clean up after yourself while you spill your nosebleeds?"
"Next... chapter? Phew!! It's too dangerous, isn't it? "
If Aoi Tsubasa, the blonde Helena from the blue scalpel that I gave to the other magazines, really cared about Maurita, would Azsa Ren really sweat?
Of course, this kind of quality illustration can't be expressed in the family right now, but it's all imaginative, because all the graphic effects of an 8-bit game will be drawn in the user's mind.
So far, there has been no legal basis for regulation of sex appeal in the medium of gaming, so the trend has been somewhat off the charts, unless it is a practical depiction of sexual intercourse or extreme exposure.
So it was a method that was sometimes used to attract the eyes of readers in teen cartoons such as the Dragon Ball or 3X3 Eyes. (For example, if the astronomer was constantly asking women to show off their underwear, or if Burma was actually trying to show off her panties to get a Dragon Ball...)
"Stop looking. There's a hole in the paper. Dude.
"Amazing… wait? But what if another magazine puts each character on the main cover? "
"Yes. The main cover of every game magazine next month is the Psychic Battle. "
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
"Stop looking. There's a hole in the paper. Dude.

"Yes. The main cover of every game magazine next month is the Psychic Battle. "
"Wow, you really are a badass. "
"What nonsense!! Great marketing skills!! "
In addition, to collect all these crazy illustrations, readers will have to buy all four magazine books. Magazines are as good as magazines, and I like the rumors between users themselves. So I imagined that... I swallowed the water cup from Junpei and smiled brightly.
This is a game cartridge? "
"An experimental demo cartridge. You can enjoy up to two stages. "
"Oh, that's good news. The other reviewers were curious about the psychic battle, but something bigger than the other cartridges. "
"I put special chips in there to help with the family's computation."
"Ah! That's why it's so big... But it feels so special! Let's play for a while, shall we? "
"Try it already? "
"What about promoting it to other journalists? "
"Suit yourself."
As soon as Jun Fei left the reception room, she called out to her colleagues who were working.
"Hey!! Here comes the trial cartridge from the Psychic Battle I used to compliment you on!! The one who laughed at me for dying in the first stage!! "
"Oh? Psychic Battle!? Me!! Let me try!! "
The Psychic Battle, brought to the table for experiential use, quickly became very popular with the Pharma Communications staff. A few moments later, surrounded by a little television, they begin to stick their tongues out in the great anthrax of the Psychic Battle.
"Twirl the cross there and press B!! "
Jun Fei laughed at his comrades who were dying in the first half of the stage.
"What the... what the fuck is so hard..."
"I was the only one to go to the boss at the new conference. I told you it was hard to be scared. Get out of my way! "
Jun Fei sat down, pushing away his colleague who was giving up throwing the pads.
"Here!! Behold my fantasy play!! "
Jun Fei was more sensible than other employees. The longer I stayed in one place, the more I noticed that the shell was concentrating and avoided the shell as I flew freely through a wide stage.
The program was tuning the projectile to not exceed a certain amount, but there were occasionally slower frames, but there was no major disruption in playing.
"You seem more stable than ever. The frames don't fall very far. "
"Of course. I made the coding more monotonous. There were occasional variable frame intervals, but they were suppressed as much as possible. "
Shortly thereafter, Jun Fei was reunited with the first insect boss.
"I'll repay your debt today!! "
Jun Fei didn't get hit twice by the same number. After some shell spraying, the frame begins to fall, and he quickly moves the character to the end of the screen to avoid the laser beam.
In the end, Jun Fei's first boss is defeated and Jun Fei pushes into the second stage.
"Ahhhh!!! "
Although he struggled with adequate barrier skills, the two stages became even more difficult with a range of rounded rounds of shell being added. No matter how many flying creatures reached the second boss, there was very little HP left.
"Is it possible to clear? "
Another giant boss may appear, and a superpower character the size of the protagonist appears in front of Jun Fei who is very nervous.
"The second boss is the same superpower!! It's worth a shot!! "
Unlike the giant boss of the first stage, a smile was drawn on Junpei's mouth at the appearance of the same humanoid boss. Looks like you got a lot of room to avoid, huh? Jun Fei's relaxed expression made me smile on my lips.
'Let's see if someone completes stage 2 until the next issue comes out. '
Jun Fei lightly dodges an enemy attack while simultaneously issuing a guide laser beam that inputs a command to fire at the enemy. At that moment... Shush!! The charming boss character disappears as soon as the laser beam hits.
"Teleport!!!! "
Jun Fei, who was caught up with the boss in a hurry, quickly opened up his distance, but he couldn't escape the boss's clutches, using his mind to draw in the protagonist like a magnet. And when Azsa Ren, the protagonist of the next boss' giant laser attack, was hit in the face...
"Huff!!!!!!!! "
When a screen full of wounded Azsa Ren's dangerous pose popped out, everyone was huffing and inhaling. Of course, it was a bit crude compared to the illustration I gave to Jun Fei earlier, but it was already overlapping in Jun Fei's head.
"If a boss beats you to death... the parts will peel off. On the contrary, if we eliminate the boss by force..."
Then one of the reporters next to me cut off my horse and said, holding Jun Fei's hand tightly.
"Jun Fei, please. Don't forget to kill the second boss!!! "
"Oooh!!!! "
The tastes of the males are so easy... What an illustration of Parts flying... In fact, the concept of Parts flying has already appeared for the first time in the famous "Castle of Gold" game at the Game Center.
The flying enemy's magic was a game that used shields to block prizes, mediums, and downwards. If you were accidentally bewitched, the armor parts flew off one by one.
The problem was that it was a male character... but the game center players who cheered with one mind to take off all of the hostile Heroic Corps's parts burst into laughter.
Of course, I replaced it with an illustration because I couldn't get parts to fly when I woke up dead or alive with my current family's spam, but it still works wonders here.
&
"Are you leaving already? "
"Yes, I have someone I need to see. Play well and write well. "
"Leave the knights to me! I'll write you a great one!! "
"Yes, thank you. "
"By the way, Joon-Hyuk..."
"Huh?"
I felt uneasy with Jun Fei scratching his cheeks and making a embarrassing face. What is it? Is there something wrong with my psychic battle?
"Before you came here, you said you gave four magazines different character illustrations? "
"Oh, right. Why??"
"There are three main characters, and the other one must be Catherine, the second stage boss? "
"Right. Why is that? "
"Where did you give me that illustration? "
"I gave it to the game world before I got here."
"Ahhhh!! I'd rather give it to you!!! "
"... was that your preference? "
What... Is that the only reason you have such a serious face? I liked the queen better than this one... I smiled at Jun Fei in agony.
"Don't worry. I'll talk to our staff and send you a whole set of four specials. "
"Th-that's real? "
"Yeah, man. "
"Okay!!! I was a little selfish, but the game is great, so I'll write you a review!!
"I'm really going, then!"
Looking at the watch, I was already running out of time, so I hurried to the train station and waved to Junpei.
"Call me when you get to Kyoto!"
"Yeah, man. Good job!"
&
- In a few moments, this train will reach Shibuya Station...
Instead of a solid voice prompt, you hear the driver's walking voice driving the train directly through the speakers.
"I feel so young no matter how many times I hear it..."
I rushed off the train with a lightened briefcase.
It's not too late, but it's close. We have five minutes until the appointment...
Tsk... As soon as the train door opened, I ran towards the stairs in front of me. At 6 pm, Shibuya Station was crowded with people taking the train.
'It's very complicated... time to go to work? '
A typical meeting place at Shibuya Station is the statue of Dog Hachi Gong who saved his owner.
In this age, there was a strange excitement in making promises and meeting with someone. The precise timing, the exact location, the beating of waiting for the other person in that place?
I didn't know where the other person was coming from because my phone was at a quiet and uneasy time, but I felt good to feel excited and excited about the inconvenience.
Now I'm a little late... but I left the station after looking at the watch again.
In front of the statue of the Hochiang Gong, famous as the meeting place, there were already many people waiting for someone, each looking at the clock.
And I was able to find Yuki in it with ease.
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
In front of the statue of the Hochiang Gong, famous as the meeting place, there were already many people waiting for someone, each looking at the clock.
And I was able to find Yuki in it with ease.
"Ahhh!! Joon-Hyuk!"
Yuki found me among the touchers and waved gladly.
I just grabbed it at the Dragon Emblem, and it feels good to know it all at once.
"It's been a long time!"
"Oh, yeah. How have you been?"
"I thought you'd forgotten me for a while after you really first contacted me. I couldn't get her number, I couldn't call her..."
"I'm sorry. I've been so busy."
"Thanks for getting in touch with me. "
With a kind bow and greeting, I also bowed reflectively at my waist.
"Oh, no. "
"Why don't we stay here and have something warm to talk about? "
"Sure, but I don't really know Shibuya, so I don't know where she'll be okay. "
"Hmm, let's go to the store first. "
Yuki and I stood at a crossroads called the symbol of Shibuya and smiled at each other. Yuki had a very sophisticated sense for women in the 1980s.
Instead of overly perm hair that is trendy among women nowadays, I was tidying up my long raw hair with white hair straps and giving it a slight wave at the end.
And every time you smile, a little clam goes into your cheeks.
"Wow, Shibuya has a lot of people. "
"It's a little complicated with Joon-Hyuk, isn't it? "
"Huh? How did you know I was in Kyoto? "
"You said you work for Minten. Isn't Mintendo's headquarters in Kyoto? "
"Oh, you know that. "
Ding-dong! Ding-dong! After a short while the signal light rang and it turned green, many people who were waiting for the massive crosswalk started crossing the signal lamp in unison.
It reminds me of a pair of triplets, a game I used to sometimes play in the 2000s when I was bored, when people flocked to Shibuya station behind us.
Defeating hundreds of enemies alone was a beautiful game, but it still takes a long time to implement such a game, right?
The game was probably on Gear Station 2 that Sensoni built... and it won't be until the next 15 years for the first one...
Wait. No, we don't have to wait that long, right?
"Joon-Hyuk?"
"Oh, yeah? "
"You know, we should go this way. "
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll think of something else for a moment."
"Hmm..."
Yuki looks sharp for a moment, then takes another step.
Oh my... You must hate me for thinking about sleeping or playing games. I followed her as I suppressed her growing desire for development.
&
After a while, Yuki brought me to a Korean restaurant in Shibuya. Is the store called Mother's Dinner? That's a weird name.
"Is this...? "
"Joon-Hyuk is Korean. I asked my friends if they liked it, and they said it was the best in Tokyo."
"Ahhh!"
I felt a corner of my heart tightened in Yuki's consideration. Honestly, I feel like such an idiot that I've been running around minding my own appointments, and I've been thinking about my future ever since I met you...
"You don't like Korean? "
"No, I'm very happy for you. The only Korean restaurants in Kyoto are Wodong and Ramen. Thank you for your attention. "
Yuki smiled and mumbled in a small voice.
"Thank God."
After going inside the store with Yuki, the smell of briquettes roasting meat along with the smell of miso stew that I had forgotten for a long time began to irritate the stomach.
At lunch, I was quite hungry because I made a simple noodle soup because of my appointment with the magazine.
"Welcome!"
'Mother's Meal Table' was unusually greeted in Korean, but I was happy to greet her at the counter as well.
"Hello!"
"Oh my!! You're Korean!"
"Yes, he came with me because he told me that this house is the best in Tokyo. "
"Oh my! Thank you! It's so nice to meet Koreans in foreign lands! Please take a lot of my beef. Enjoy!"
"Thank you. I'll eat well!"
When we spoke in Korean, Yuki was looking at us strangely.
"It's good to see you!"
"Oh, I see. She seems to like it. "
Sitting across from each other at the table, we poured water into each other's glasses before ordering two cashews of beef and miso stew. Yuki asked with a worry face on a simpler spell than I thought.
"Are you sure you don't want something to eat? I heard you only had noodles today. "
"Yuki, isn't this your first time at a Korean restaurant? "
"Yes. Actually, I just heard from my friends and I'm here for the first time today. "
"Hold on! Surprise will happen!"
A moment later, Yuki said to the waiter, puzzled by the appearance of the undertakers being set to fill the table.
"W-we didn't order any of this. "
"It's just an okaz. When you order food, it's basically what comes out. Don't worry!"
"Th-this is all Okaz? "
Um... was your owner here before? Obviously, the food is delicious and the food is plentiful even if you eat one!
On the dining table, kimchi and acorn cakes, as well as kimchi and bread ribs, began to appear on the plate gradually.
"Wow, do Koreans eat like this every time? "
"Oh, well, it's not like this all the time, but basically, there's more food writers than Japan. "
"Amazing! The food is so delicious!! "
Fortunately, Yuki soon ate well.
Sareh rushed to Japan to give him water when he ate a slightly sharp miso stew compared to Miso Shiru.
"It's d-hot. "
It's definitely not like the Miso Soup of Japan! Yuki was tolerating it all the way through. Soon after that, you climb up to the smoky seared meat, and the table is filled to the briquettes.
"There's only 380 yen per serve."
"It's because Koreans have a lot of recognition!"
I was moved by the taste of Korea that I had felt for a long time and swallowed nothing.
"Ma'am! More food here!"
"Omma? Have you finished already? I'll bring it to you as soon as I can."
The waitress who serves in a dialect nodded and took orders.
&
"Oh, I'm full!"
"Aren't you overeating? Three bowls of food...? "
"You must have been greedy after eating a long time."
"But I'm just happy to see you're eating well. "
"Thank you. Thank you for your attention. I'll buy you dinner. "
"Yes? Why Joon-Hyuk? "
"Hmm..? No, it's just...
"I have money, too. Ma'am, divide the calculation here!"
Yuki picks up the check and heads to the counter without a chance to stop me from going crazy.
Well, I used to think it was customary for a man to buy food in the first meeting, but he's a little different in his mind.
After dividing the dinner cost in half, I came out and it was already dark outside. I'm already full, but I can't just eat alone...
"Can I get you a cup of coffee? I'll buy you coffee. "
"Yes? Why do you keep buying me everything?"
"I ate three bowls of rice! Yuki lost money by dividing it in half. So let me buy you some coffee!"
Yuki nodded, smiling greedily. It's so hard to buy coffee...
So we moved to a nearby coffee shop.
&
"Have a good time, then!"
The waiter carried the tray in his arms and returned with the coffee. Hmm... I can't even imagine serving coffee in a fancy cup like this... In a cafe in the 2000s.
It's not just vibrating bells that make me feel like I'm going to look for something classy... It's definitely from the 1980s when I look at the coffee in a deceptive cup, not just a regular paper cup...
"Are you busy these days too? You haven't heard from me in a while..."
"Oh, I've been working on a game lately. "
"A game? Wow! What kind of game? "
"Oh, well, you know..."
No!!! I'll never tell you!! If sexy female characters fly around in the sky and get beaten up, half their clothes fall off!!
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
No!!! I'll never tell you!! If sexy female characters fly around in the sky and get beaten up, half their clothes fall off!!
Eventually, I took out an image of Ryu Hwa-young (at least the most hidden), the most OK character design.
Her setup data had not been shown to anyone yet, so it was the first time she made it public to Yuki.
Ryu Hwa-young was a secret character covering his whole body with a black suit and half his face with a mask.
My favorite character in a psychic battle is Ryu Hwa-young, who has a great figure that stands out under the mask and fits tightly.
The three main characters of the Psychic Battle were finally determined to be flamethrower 'Azsa Wren', electrostatic wizard 'Helena', and storyteller 'Aoi Tsubasa', but when they completed the game until the end, they were able to use the superpowers who appeared as enemies in Story Mode and Battle Mode.
I handmade the concepts and settings of the second stage boss minstrel, Catherine, Jennifer, and Ryu Hwa Young, the final 8-stage boss character, especially Ryu Hwa Hyung.
He was much more attached to me than the protagonist 'Azsa Ren', and his special performance will also be set to the level of a fraudulent character like the final boss.
"You have a very beautiful character. Are you the leading lady?"
"In fact, all the manipulative characters in this game are women. A shooter that plays the ultimate supernova fight. "
"Oh, right. If it's a shooter, it just flies around shooting missiles, right? "
"Well, sort of. "
"I love that airplane game! I play 1942 in the game center all the time. When Joon-Hyuk's game is released, make sure! I'll try."
I muttered in a small voice to her who looks at me and speaks decisively.
"Haha... You don't have to do that."
"Yes?"
"No. Soliloquy. But do you have the dragon emblem I gave you before? "
"Oh, right. "
Yuki took the expansion cartridge out of her bag with the dragon emblem and placed it on the table.
"I had fun thanks to Joon-Hyuk. As you may already know, we also enjoyed the additional scenarios contained within the expansion cartridge. I bought the expansion cartridge in return. "
"You're giving it back to me? "
"Yes, it was so much fun! Maybe you were too busy to try it. "
"It's okay. I've already cleared the expansion scenario. I gave it to you, so please keep it. "
It's not a ring, it's not a necklace, it's a game cartridge. I feel strange. I smiled awkwardly and asked her.
"But what is Yuki doing? I've seen you play very well before. You survived the last few female users at the event. "
"I used to play chess with my dad all the time when I was a kid, and he bought it when he saw a game called Dragon Emblem. Oh, and I work at the station. "
"Broadcasting station?? "
"Yes, I'm still the co-author of the late-night show. "
"Excuse me, how old are you? "
"Nineteen. My birthday passed last week. "
"Oh, it's late, but happy birthday. "
Nineteen... 21 at the age of South Korea? He was definitely an adult, but at the age of 19 he felt very embarrassed. I nodded slightly and moved the coffee cup to my mouth.
"What about Joon-Hyuk?"
"I'm... 25. "
I recalculated and answered my age in my head.
By the way, it's been four years since you came back from setting yourself to 21 in Japan in '83... It's been such a fast time.
"Wow, you're younger than I thought. "
"Phew… do I look old? "
"Something doesn't feel like the 20s I know."
"How is it different? "
"In my 20s, I feel like I've just graduated from college and I'm just a beginner in a childish society, but Joon-Hyuk is very mature. Honestly, no matter how young you are, you're in your late 20s. "
Is that what 2015's speech and habits look like? On the outside, she's 25, but she's also deceived by 38. Yuki's words are not entirely wrong. I nod with a bleeding smile.
"There's only one month left in December this year. There are 88 Olympics in Korea next year, do you have to go back to Korea? "
"Well, I'm not going back very much because I have a job in Japan, but I'm going on a short vacation. "
"Your parents are in Korea, right? "
When Yuki asked, my hand stopped lifting the cup of coffee. How are your parents? Why don't you take a vacation next year and go to the neighborhood where I used to live when I was a kid? I was seven years old in '88... I think I used to live by the Seodaemun Gate in Seoul...
"Joon-Hyuk...? "
"Yes, my parents are in Korea. I'll see you next year. I'm going to the Seoul Olympics."
Let's smile with an answer. Yuki no longer asked about his family. Instead, you take the diary out of your bag and start writing something down.
"What's that? "
"I'm going to write about the restaurant I went to a while ago. Before I forget..."
"Before you forget? "
"I have a competition for ideas for a regular program for new writers. "
"A contest?"
"Yes, it's a new type of variety program or a short drama show, but I'm trying to make food out of the competition. "
Food? You mean like the food drama of the 2010 's? Yuki spread her diary wide and started drawing the food she had eaten in the restaurant one by one.
I looked at him, leaning against the table.
After a while, Yuki began to put the food on the dining room table in order on white paper.
"Amazing. Do you remember a lot of that at once? "
"I've heard a lot about good memory since I was a kid. "
Yuki laughed and teased Betsy's hands without rest. Yuki asked me when the painting was finished somewhat.
"Joon-Hyuk, what is that soup we ate earlier? "
"Miso stew."
"Where's the meat? "
"It's called briquettes. "
"Yontan bean curd..."
I laughed because my pronunciation was so cute compared to my very thoughtful face. Then Yuki said with a big smile.
"That sounds weird, doesn't it? Hehe"
"No, it's cute. "
After that, Yuki covered the diary with a kind expression.
"Can I take a look at that? "
"I'm ashamed. I'm not showing it to anyone yet."
"Don't you know that the more ideas you share, the better? "
"It's not like that."
Yuki bows his head in shame and gives me a diary. I handed over the diary from Yuki and looked through it one by one.
In her diary, dishes from restaurants and dessert shops all over Tokyo were painted in detail, and she could barely see them.
Some of them were fun to paste and paste for reference. But in this age, it's not common for people to take food pictures with film cameras.
In some parfait paintings, the shape of the ingredients, cups, and the height of the ice cream seemed to be a great reference.
The interesting thing was that, next to all the food, a boiled egg-shaped character was rolling around, making strange faces.
"Wow, it's really detailed. "
"Please give it back! Yes? "
"Wait a minute. Just a little more..."
As I handed over the painting, I stopped my hand from one picture. There was a cartridge of mintendo instead of food. The title of the game was "Dragon Emblem" with a surprisingly expressive egg character and speech bubble next to it.
- The maker is a genius! Who the hell made it? -
- Clear this game. Joon-Hyuk is amazing!! -
"Ahhh!! That!!"
Yuki quickly snatched the diary I was looking at and put it back in her bag.
"What are you so surprised about? "
"I'm just embarrassed. Oh, it's hot. "
Yuki rubs her red face to see if her face is burning.
"You draw very well. Did Yuki make the egg character next to each of the foods? There were a lot of different faces. "
"Oh, Tamago-san. He's a character that I created, and he's evaluating the taste of food with his face. What do you think?"
"It's fun. It's unique. "
You're evaluating flavor with your so-called emoticons, which is a very unique way of looking at it these days. However, Yuki's expression was not very bright.
"Yuki, do you have any concerns? "
"In fact, there are only a few days left in the competition, and the concept of the program is not yet finished. The genre has chosen to explore Tokyo's tastiest restaurants, but the introduction to the store is just too boring."
"Food tour."
At that moment, I remembered a drama that came to my mind around lunch, and I don't know if that concept would work in the '80s... but maybe you should give it a try. It was not a formal contest anyway, and I told Yuki with my hands around his chin.
"Yuki, what about this concept? "
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
"Yuki, what about this concept? "
"Yes? What kind of...? "
Yuki and I showed interest, and this time I pulled notes out of the briefcase.
Although Yuki's diary was a bit more cluttered and cluttered than Yuki's, I was always carrying notes to sort out ideas that popped up. (Usually used to sketch to help Chendra or Gunpei understand...)
"Wow, something looks very complicated. Is it like Joon-Hyuk's idea notes? "
"It's not as neat as you, Yuki, but sometimes I use it when I think of something. If you don't write it down, you'll soon forget it."
"Yes, it's best to write it down when you think about it. "
"First of all, this is the concept that I thought of. "
I drew a rough picture of one of the workplaces of formal attire on an empty page of my notes. Then Yuki, who was looking at my painting, said a little.
"It's a simple picture, but you've got a good point. I can see the Celery Man Tee coming. "
"Really? It's not much more than Yuki's painting, but first, this character is important. "
"This character? "
"Yes, he's always hungry. His name is moderately Onaka Seita-san (hungry). "
"Foot.."
Yuki laughed at the sense of my name.
"Sounds like a good name for a decent one. Kick Kick"
"You can think of a name later, and this character actually walks around the store ordering food. "
"Ahhh!! It's not just about introducing the store, it's about the actor eating the food. "
"A little drama will do just fine. The protagonist is traveling around Tokyo on business and suddenly he gets hungry. "
"Is that why you go to the store and order food? "
"That's right, late-night television audiences might actually go there and try it, or they might promote the store, and the owners might like it. "
"I think I can reach my viewers more naturally than the hard-to-find restaurant introduction!! The marketing effect of the filming site will be 1 trillion 2 trillion seats!"
Yuki nodded his head to make sure he understood the concept I was talking about.
In 1987, a variety of broadcasts came out of Japan because color TV was almost finished.
Unlike traditional black and white TV, the cooking program was often ranked as a favorite program for housewives in the morning thanks to color TV expressing even the colors of the food.
However, Yuki really liked my concept because there was still no program that specialized in eating delicious food.
"This is a very new and unique piece of material, and I'm going to use it. "
"Look. It's better for you to think alone than alone, isn't it? "
Yuki nodded, smiling brightly at my words.
After a while, after having a little more conversation, we left the coffee house and were headed to Shibuya Station in the late autumn in the cool breeze.
Time is a little after 9pm. At this time, Shinkansen is almost the last car to Kyoto, so why don't you sigh at a nearby hotel while you're in Tokyo, and stop by the Pentagon's office tomorrow?
Final Frontier 1, created by Kawaguchi, has become a large title that sold 200,000 copies immediately after issuance.
The title that was issued with the letter 'Final' was added to the second production, saying that he would quit the game director if he failed. But when I called a few days ago, 2 said he'd raise the target layer a little bit to create an RPG of adult taste... You're not going to go into a concept as close as a psychic battle, are you?
While thinking about it, Yuki who was walking next to me asked me.
"Now, what do we do? "
"Yes? I thought you were going home. "
"It's only 9: 00. Are you going back to Kyoto? "
"No, I'm going to stay at a nearby hotel tomorrow because I have something to do in Tokyo. "
"Well, there's still plenty of time. "
"Yes, but is there somewhere you want to go? "
Then Yuki looked up at me, smiling and opening his mouth.
"Where do men and women meet at night? "
"Yes..? "
Oh, no... I've seen it twice now! Different from a clean image, is he a cheeky type? I was eventually drawn into Yuki's hands and headed back to the entertainment street.
&
And after a while. We were standing in front of a building with a mix of neon signs and loud music.
"This place... ugh!"
"Joon-Hyuk, what did you imagine? Are you having second thoughts? "
"I'm not."
You're making me think all I want, and that's not it.
As I lowered my head, Yuki curled up and opened the Game Center.
Then the BGM of all the games flowed to where I stood. In case you were wondering, I looked for a motel on the second or third floor, but I didn't see any such business at all.
There's a playroom on the first floor without going crazy, but there's no place upstairs to make a motel room.
Yuki calls me as the BGM of Tetris flows out from the interior of the middle building.
"Joon-Hyuk, if you come, will you help me with the game I've always wanted to play? "
"Oh, yes. Haha... gladly..."
I forcibly smiled at Yuki and stepped into the Game Center. Yuki kept smiling, covering her mouth to see if my reaction was funny.
I fooled you at first, but not the next time. I opened my mind and lightly looked around the center.
"It's huge. This size is not common in Kyoto... Especially with all the sensory devices from the NEGA. "
Recently, Japan's gaming industry has seen a tremendous rise.
In the home, Mintendo's family was able to access gaming media from anywhere because of this huge gaming center in the sprawling area.
At this time, gamers had to go to the game center if they wanted to enjoy fancy and graphical action games.
Family devices at home were difficult to keep up with graphics in the form of dedicated substrates used in spectacular gaming centers.
And of course, as we move into the 2000s, the home console slowly begins to outperform the graphics in the game center,
Today, the home console has not had any major conflicts with gaming center owners, as RPGs such as the Dragon Warrior or the Adventure Genre have begun their long playtime readership route.
However, the dreams of gamers in this era were so glamorous that they wished to play games for game centers with home gaming machines.
I had felt it before, but Yuki was a game person.
Yuki quickly took off his cardigan, tied it to his waist, and snuck onto the bike.
"Are you going to do this? "
"Yes, do you want to join Joon-Hyuk? "
"No, I'm just going to watch. "
She places her bag in the basket next to her and puts a 100 yen coin in the coin entrance.
Deceptive gaming machines are more expensive than regular gaming machines. I understand the good coin recovery rate for the NEGA...
The game started as soon as I turned the slottle that resembled the actual motorcycle.
I folded my arms next to him and watched Yuki play. Hmmm! A game with a sense of humor... The NEGA is definitely good at arcades.
In fact, the failure of the NEGA disk penetration rate did not bring the NEGA down because of their absolute arcade game market.
It was the first company designed to allow players to ride in the driver's seat or play on motorcycles. The UFO Gacha Machine, which is also used to draw dolls, was also heard to be a huge amount of coins earned each month because it was made by them.
'It's a coveted market for the owner of Kamachi. But is it a good thing that the unit price of the device was too high and that, according to Gunpei and Shigeru, it was a fast falling market when the home console grew up? '
"Oh, that's too bad. It was just a checkpoint."
This type of perceived racing game is designed to allow you to rotate the next track by a certain amount of time before you reach the checkpoint, so the coin turnover is fast. I asked Yuki, handing over the bag, who was making a sad face.
"Still, you're good. You'd be great to score an eighth. "
"I'm pretty good, right? Ahhh!! There's a seat open. "
Yuki ran into an ordinary lever-manipulated substrate and summoned me.
"Can we do this together? "
"Hmm?"
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Recently, there has been a BGM that has been chattering like a habit walking the streets.
This addictive BGM leaked from all over the neighborhood's gaming center entrance, with a unique rhythm that no one would ever forget.
This crazy BGM is a bubble bobble made by Daido Soft in Japan. Then why in my country are they called Boggle Boggles? The title says bubble bobble for fuck's sake...
I don't know why it's not fire and bubbles coming out of the mouth of a little dinosaur, but this game was only able to beat the enemy completely by trapping it with that bubble and then blowing it.
If it took too long, a whale-shaped ghost appeared to catch the player, but at the same time, the urgent BGM, which was suddenly speeding up, made him sweat on his hands.
You were able to enhance your character by eating items, such as shoes and candy, but there were also factors that led to the destruction of friendships of 1P and 2P in order to eat each other.
Yuki tucked his skirt in with a cardigan and sat down. Yuki smiled and said as I sat on the 2P side.
"Do we want to bet on this? Why don't you grant the winner his wish? "
Huh? This is an unexpected challenge. Well, then, shall I make it up to you as a childhood memory?
We put in 50 yen coin by coin and started the game.
