Chapter 19 - EP. 19: Novelis Oblige

"That concludes our report on last month's Tamago-san sales. "

"300% higher sales than last month. Excellent, well done. Miyazaki."

Before the store opens. As I thanked Miyazaki for finishing her report on the deadline last month, the staff around me applauded her. She also smiled brightly and replied.

"No. It's great to be working with good people here, too. "

"I'm very happy to be working with you. You've worked hard since the store opened. I would like to discuss this month's salary with you and offer you an additional incentive payment. "

"Oooh!! "

Speaking of incentive payments, staff cheered as they gathered together.

It's my way of managing to thoroughly reward him for his hard work.

I drank the green tea Miyazaki brought me and looked at the chart she gave me.

The first weekend of October.

It was a frightening summer that the heat on the Tamago-san was just as hot as the heat that warmed the whole country. Since opening in mid-July, Tamago-shop's sales have increased dramatically during August and September.

Not only did the Silk Tamago statue but also the popular character dolls were sold to children who came to Tamago Shop and they ran out of supplies every time they filled them up.

Located near the station, Tamago Shop became a landmark in Akihabara at the same time as the opening, and was in dire straits, as opposed to a shortage of visitors from the province.

No matter how much you pay, people have a personal life.

That is, if you don't guarantee working hours and holidays, people will get tired as long as you give them a lot of money.

So I expanded the job posting to the highest hourly rate within Akiba.

Thanks to the large crowd of people in sales or service careers, some who knocked on Tamago-shop's door shyly ran away without enduring the day.

And today at the opening of the third month.

The people who were gathered here today were like 'warriors of inversion' to me.

Miyazaki, who joined at the youngest of the staff and survived a hell of an open event, was popular with her colleagues who worked with her vigorously, as well as visitors to the store.

Unlike the usual staff, she was one of the players raising the Tamago-based monsters, and I was also the employee who had been watching her as a helper for communicating data with guests or teaching children how to cultivate Tamago-based.

"You're an employee of Tamagoshop, but you're also the face of Pentagon Soft.

I know it's hard, but the only thing I can do is offer you the incentive. However, please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any improvements or complaints about the shop. because most of all, I think what you're saying on the ground is important. "

"Yes, I understand!! "

The news about the special incentive payment gave me a feeling of employee fraud all at once.

Money is a simple but most efficient item.

Everyone was dismissed to prepare for the opening, and I was sitting at the table looking at the chart and I heard Miyazaki's voice.

"Hey, Manager Kang Jun-hyuk..."

"Yes? Do you have something to say? "

"Oh, it's not about the shop. "

"It's okay. Make yourself at home. "

I put the chart up for a moment and looked at her.

When an employee asks for a conversation, it is polite to focus on the conversation with them.

Miyazaki hesitated for a moment, but I didn't rush but just smiled comfortably.

"Actually, I went to a figure shop after work yesterday. "

"A figurehouse? "

"Yes, I was wondering if there were any figures or doll accessories that weren't in our store. "

Oh... Is she doing her own market research?

Miyazaki felt very fond of the Tamago Shop because the finished staff would even do market research on their own.

"You must be tired, that's great. Thank you on behalf of the company. "

"Oh, no, not necessarily to be complimented, because I love the Tamago Award, too. "

"I see. But what happened at the Figure Shop? "

"Well, it's not about the Tamago-san, it's about the 'streets without me' that Pentagon Soft created. "

"A street without me? "

"I love that game so much, I have the whole series. "

"Oh, really? "

Miyazaki likes games just like Yuki.

I felt better about being proud of something. After the super family launch, I became the number one contributor to the contract for character making, making the Pentagon soft a huge profit.

Also, for those who are not familiar with the game, the original animation has made it popular in video rental shops and even released private video collections, so there is no one in Japan who does not know the 'street without me'.

Mr. Uchimura has been a part of the news coverage.

The day after Uchimura's incident, this article was written in the morning paper.

- The heroine saves a life in the game!! - Thanks to you, the streets without me were becoming a cultural content beyond the realm of the game.

Yuki said that stations often ask for dramatic outbursts, but there hasn't been a formal contract request for Pentagon Soft yet.

"But why is the street without me...? "

"Oh, that was a rare figure in a figurehouse yesterday. "

"Rare figures? "

"It's a figure of Hasegawa Miyuki, which is a very distinctive concept. It was a figure in a kimono, and I made a kimono out of real fabric and put it on the character. "

"Oh, that's amazing. But I don't think such figures have ever been contracted, so it's a personal collection. "

"Yes, it looks like it was made using a limited edition summer model figure that we just launched, but it was amazing. Those guys at the figurehouse put up an auction that you wanted to buy, too, and the price just went up. "

"If it's personalized for a private collection, there's only one person on the planet who deserves it. But how much was it?"

"110,000 yen the last time I saw it. "

Having lost my words for a moment in her answer, I asked her again if I had heard it wrong.

"... 110,000 yen? "

"Yes."

I mean, what a great figure. Do you spend more than KRW 1 million on a figure?

A laughter pops out of my head.

Then Miyazaki said with a slightly worried expression.

"But I think that figure is a little strange. "

"Yes? What? "

"Is... is he like someone I know who's different from Hasega and Miyuki? Rather than Miyuki... I think she looks more like Yuki who goes out with you. "

"Yes?"

What the hell is this? It's true that Hasegawa Miyuki motioned Yuki, but if Miyazaki says so, something's a little strange.

"Miyazaki."

"Yes, sir. "

"The store that saw the figures of Miyuki. Do you mind if I show you where he is? "

&

After a while, I stopped by the Figure Shop with Miyazaki to find her figure, not so hard. But, um...

"189,000 yen!? "

"That's a lot higher than yesterday."

But for a second price, Miyuki's figure was more like Ishikawa Yuki, as Miyazaki said.

By the way, what's with the outfit?

Unlike Miyazaki's story, the kimono she was wearing was half-naked, revealing a white lining.

The crowd around the figure was crowded to see her, so it was hard to get close.

"This is crazy. I'm going to avoid setting Yuki up as a motif next time. By the way, who made that figure, and made it out of Yuki's face and plaque? '

Anyway, there's only one thing I have to do now.

'That... I have to buy that. I can't watch you fall for a tough guy. '

I occasionally spoke to a store employee who was detaining a guest from taking out the camera.

"I'd like to bid on that. "

"Oooh!! Here it is! A bidder broke 189,000 yen!! "

"Yes, sir. Please enter bid amount here and sign. "

I wrote down 250,000 yen on the paper the employee handed over and returned it to him.

"C-customer? Are you hit for 250,000? "

"Yes, that's right. "

"Th-thanks!! There's a new bid for Hasega and Miyuki figures in Kimono costumes. "

The clerk squeezed the gap between the guests with a new bid. And then after a while...

"At 2.. 250,000!? Are you crazy? "

... Yeah, it's definitely crazy money. I won't deny it.

But think about it. There's a figure that resembles your girlfriend walking into an exhibition hall half-naked and being seen by people, and you're just going to watch it?

"Hiic... rich bastard... But I'd like to buy some too if I had the money. "

People were jealous of the new bid.

Then Miyazaki who was next to me carefully asked me.

"Sir, are you all right? "

"What?"

"No. You're spending too much money..."

"Oh, I'm okay with that. But he certainly looks more like Yuki than Hasega and Miyuki, like Miyazaki said. Thanks for letting me know."

"Right? I wonder how surprised I was yesterday."

"Hopefully, the last bidder won't bid again."

When I found out from the cashier that the last bidder had abandoned the bid and was going to sell after 3 hours, I thought I would be finished by today.

I'd like to get that figure out of the shelf as soon as possible, but right now I don't have a choice. If you give me the money I want, I can shoot you right now, damn it.

At that time, a middle-aged man came in with a nasty smile at the entrance of the Figure Shop.

The man squeezes the gap between people with a relaxed smile and taps on the shelf with Miyuki's figure, and his tongue flutters.

Who the hell is that guy?

"That's the bidder I saw yesterday, who called in 110,000 yen. "

"Oh, yeah? "

The man stared at the figure for a moment and confirmed the bid, making sure he hadn't noticed the bid I had placed.

At that moment, his face was puffy and crumpled.

"Eh, some asshole... dares..."

"Eh, some asshole... dares..."

The man looks for the clerk, pounding his fists to see if he was angry.

"Bring the bidding documents here!! "

"Yes!! Please wait a moment!! "

The man, who was a regular customer here at the Figure Shop, ran to Burinake with the tender documents.

He thought for a moment about the pen the employee handed him, and finally signed the document.

"Here's a new bid for a Kimono-type Miyuki figure!!! "

"Wow! Another bid to break 250,000 yen!! "

"Hey!! I don't know who that god is, but he's on board. I'm on the stairs! "

"How much? How much did it cost? "

"Three... 350,000 yen.."

"Crazy. 100,000 yen more!! "

"What? At 100,000!? I can't even think about the price anymore. 300,000 yen for a figure."

Oh my head... 100,000yen is a hot shot...

The middle-aged man was pleased to once again tap the glass case to see if it felt good.

I hate that gesture.

I watched him for a moment and met the cashier who was looking at me. I slowly nodded my head in that glance, asking if I would like to bid for the top bid.

Okay, I'll take it.

"May I have the bidding documents, please? "

In a word, the inside of the shop, which was buzzing about the tender, cooled down.

I opened my mouth to stop the employee from bringing me the documents after a quiet moment.

"Don't bother with the paperwork, I'll just open the bid verbally. "

"Uh, how much? "

"500,000 yen."

"Whoa!!!!!! Crazy! 500,000 yen a day on the shelf!! "

If you put it on, it will only encourage the opponent to compete.

You'd better get rid of it with a huge amount that you can't keep up.

"Half a million -- are you sure? A guest?"

I nodded slightly, and this time the clerk opened his mouth to the middle-aged man.

"Parent bid? "

" .... "

The middle-aged man stared at the clerk with a blank expression.

"W-wait a minute. I'll just make one phone call. "

From the slightest tremor in your voice, is that it? The man stared at me for a moment and left the store in a hurry. But where are we going?

Miyazaki, who was next to me, was expressing a sense of excitement when he saw that more than one figure had been paid back and forth.

"This game is getting too big. "

"Sir, are you all right? 500,000 yen?"

"I've never spent this much money on a doll before. Half a million dollars. Haha."

I looked closely to get a closer look at the figure as guests around the figure took a quiet break.

Once I saw that I resembled Yuki, I called a huge amount of money, but I wondered if it was worth it.

But the details of the figures I saw up close were amazing.

The old-fashioned kimono she wears seems to be made of real silk.

When I saw it from afar, I thought it was a "yukata" that only wore one layer, but it wasn't. A total of three layers of kimonos were really reproducing traditional costumes.

What the hell did you do to the figures? '

Especially on the outermost part, I painted cherry blossoms with a thin brush, and the feeling was like watermelon painted on silk.

In a word, it must have been an enormous work of work.

"Oh, is that why maniacs buy figures for fun? '

I looked around a little and saw people staring at me with very envious eyes. If Morita actually sees this, it's a stunning detail.

At that time, Miyazaki, who was behind my back, looked inside the store and cried out in surprise.

"Mr. Uchimura...? "

Uchimura? Why does that name come up here?

I turned my head to Miyazaki and saw Uchimura standing in the corner of the store.

Uchimu, who met our eyes, smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to greet us.

"Oh, hello. "

"Did you meet Uchimura at the 'Street Without Me' event back then? "

"Ah!! The man Yuki brought!! "

How can we meet by coincidence three times?

I remembered an old saying that it was okay to share my life with someone I met three times without making any appointments.

Because no matter where we are, we will meet again. You want me to be your friend, not your enemy...

And now you know about it with Miyazaki. I'm starting to get scared of who he is.

"Uchimura, what are you doing here? "

"Oh, well, I..."

Then, the figure shop clerk who was standing next to him proudly introduced him.

"This is the creator of the Kimono-type Miyuki figure. "

"Yes!? Are you sure?"

When Miyazaki asked, Uchimura smiled awkwardly and nodded quietly. I tried to clear my mind for a moment by touching my wrinkled forehead.

So, Uchimura, who was impressed by Yuki's voice, met Yuki at the fair, went through a suicidal commotion, made that figure? '

Then it makes sense why that figure resembles Yuki so much.

The over-details were a little angry, but the figures he had adapted were not too colorful to call his work.

I was thinking about what to say first, but things started to get noisy around me.

"He's the one who converted the Miyuki figure!! "

"Really? Amazing. I made 500,000 in one day."

"Even if I make a figure and sell it, I'll sell it for 100,000 apiece for that detail. "

$100,000 apiece?

This time, however, the auction was a bit overheated, so there was a tremendous amount of money attached, but to be honest, it was usually a fair trade between 1-200,000.

At that moment, Uchimura, who used to look like a pure Otaku, began to feel like an artisan combing high quality figures.

This could be a huge collaboration with Mauritata. I'm going to call that yuki figure in my hand and talk to her.

At that time, a middle-aged man, who was leaving the store earlier, grabbed his bag and announced a new bid amount.

"8.. 800,000 yen!! "

800,000 yen? Is he really sane? Even though I called 500,000 yen, it doesn't seem sane to anyone else...

The tremendous amount of money the man called shocked the faces of the people in the figure shop.

That guy...

Despite the quiet surroundings, Uchimura's hiccups were only heard as he was surprised by the unimaginable amount.

Even the clerk who made the bid public muttered in a mute voice.

"P-top bid."

It was then.

"Hello!!! "

Outside the store, you hear the voice of a woman who is incredibly sharp.

Everyone who was surprised by the voice turned their eyes outside the store, and there stood an angry lady.

From what I've been calling you, it looks like you two are...

The lady glanced at her husband for a moment, then forcefully came inside and began to slap him on the back.

"Crazy. Crazy!! Very!! Why do you live here? Why are you alive!! You want to buy that thing because he got a loan because he was cheap? Do you know whose house the 800,000 yen is? "

Did he go to the bank to get a loan for his figure?

Recently, banks say low interest rates lending is a lot more powerful to try to save the foaming economy, but still...

"Honey!? Wait a minute. Listen to me. Huh?"

"What are you waiting for!! Aren't you coming? "

"Just because you don't know... that figure is going to be very expensive later.

Trust me!! Huh? Miyuki!! Miyuki!!!!! "

Well... at the first bid, it might go up, but I don't think it's going to go up as much as we called it.

Eventually, I was dragged away from the man's voice by his wife, and I could only hear the sound of smashing of the middle press back.

"So... am I the final bidder? "

"Oh, yeah. Yes, Mr. Uchimura. You said you wanted to sell, are you okay? "

"Yes? Oh, well..."

Miyazaki then looked at Uchimura, who was mumbling.

"Uchimura, can I talk to you for a second? "

"Yes?"

After a while, we stopped by a coffee shop near a figure shop.

I was drawn to Miyazaki and watched as she looked at us in an awkward atmosphere.

"First of all, it's fate, but let's start with formal introduction. I'm Kang Jun-hyuk. "

"I am Uchimura Hiroki. "

After a very simple introduction, Uchimura turned his head around to avoid my gaze.

"What are you...? "

"I'm a student. I'm on sabbatical. "

"Oh, yeah."

After the exchange of information about each other, Miyazaki, who was next to me, immediately brought the matter to light.

"Uchimura, do you know someone named Yuki Ishikawa? "

"Yes? Oh, yes. I know."

"Actually, he's the reason we came to the Figure Shop today. "

"Yu... Yuki? Why...?"

"Uchimura's figure is so similar to the one we know. "

Then Uchimu made an embarrassing face and said nothing.

"I'm not sure how Uchimura intended to make such figures. But as a woman, I don't want a doll that looks just like me to be a spectacle in front of people. Do you know what I mean? "

Miyazaki calmly spoke to Uchimura.

Then Uchimu looked at Miyazaki with a very surprised look. Apparently, Yuki had never thought about it.

"It's possible, really. I had no idea."

"Thank you for noticing now. So I was wondering if maybe you could cancel the auction. "

"Actually, I've been wanting to cancel."

"Really? Then why..."

"I can't pay a 10% cancellation fee."

As I looked down at Uchimura sighing, I tapped the table for a moment and cleared my mind. And, uh...

"Mr. Uchimura. Why don't we do this? "

"Yes?"

&

The method was simple.

If I just give you a cancellation fee, that's it.

50,000 yen of raw money just flew away, but it was a conclusion because it was better than flying 500,000 yen.

A moment later, Uchimura, who returned with Miyuki's figure in his heart, hesitates for a moment and gives me the figure.

"Could you pass this... to Yuki? "

"Yes? Why this? "

"I'm ashamed to hear Miyazaki's story because I think it might be offensive for Yuki. I owe it to Yuki, but I thought I made her a spectacle."

It's... it's someone else. I know you thought it was Hasegawa Miyuki, but...

Then Miyazaki, who was sitting next to me, smiled at Uchimura.

"As expected, Uchimura is kind. "

"The next time I make a figure, I'll think about it more carefully. "

Uchimura, who delivered the figure to me, once again apologized to us and stood up.

"Hey, wait a minute. "

I was the one who stopped him from returning. I took 200,000 yen out of my wallet and handed it to Uchimura.

"I'll be sure to pass on the figures Uchimura made to Yuki. And think of that money as the price I paid for your work. I... I think it's good enough to get that money. "

"Th-thank you. "

"Oh, and do you like games? "

"O-of course!! Pentagon Soft Enthusiast!! "

In Uchimura's answer, I took out a business card and a game cartridge from my bag and presented it to him.

"I'm Kang Jun-hyuk, Director of Development for Pentagon Soft Team 2. The game in this cartridge is a trial of the game being created by Pentagon Soft aimed at the first half of next year. There may be a slight bug, but could you play it and give me a call? "

I carefully accepted the cartridge I handed you because it is a new game called Uchimu.

"Valentine's Day...? Is this a street show without me? "

I smiled and answered Uchimura's question.

"No."

Uchimura, who received the game cartridge, went home, and I decided to have dinner with Miyazaki on my way back to the Tamago Shop.

Even though I was going back to the store, lunch is coming up soon, because I thought it would be better to just eat and go inside if I wanted to have dinner with the staff.

Taking the figures of 'Hasegawa Miyuki', carefully wrapped as if it were just a Shinju, I could feel the way he looked at me everywhere.

'At least I'll give you a little shopping bag. '

The bag I was carrying was a briefcase and was not suitable for putting figures in.

"Sir, you're cute. "

"Haha... I like it everywhere. Let's go inside quickly. "

Eventually, I stopped by the soba house near Tamagoshop and put Miyuki's figure on the table and sighed for a long time.

I haven't been distracted by a single figure since morning.

"Hey, can I take a look at that figure, too? "

Miyazaki says I nod, swallowing cold water.

She peels the dried vinyl out of the figure and picks up Miyuki.

"Wow, you really made it. Color expression is good, but how did he think of putting a kimono on a figure? Yuki will like it when he gets it. "

"Well... I would have liked it better if it were me. "

"Oh, well, that, too. "

Miyazaki and Yuki were very close.

At the opening of the Tamago Shop, Yuki visited the Tamago Shop on the first weekend wearing white T-shirts and jeans.

Although she was not very good at selling, she wanted to work here when she found Yuki explaining about the Tamago monster to the children who visited the store.

"But Miyazaki, "

"Yes?"

"In the past few days, have any players brought a slightly unusual Tamago-san? "

"Odd Tamago-san? No, I've never seen anything like it. "

Hmm. I thought I'd see a couple by now, but it's surprisingly quiet.

Then Miyazaki asked me if I cared about what I said.

"Have we launched a new Tamago-san? "

"Oh, that's not it. But Miyazaki is an employee who explains Tamago-san to children, so it's okay to know in advance. In fact, last month, there was a very small amount of Tamago-san. "

"Really? Is that a collaborative tamago? "

Miyazaki has a good pulse, too.

"Yes, that's right. "

"I was a little disappointed that it was only Tamago-san on the Final Frontier, which one of you had a collaboration with him this time? "

"Well, do you know a game called Dragon Emblem? "

"Oh, I've heard of it. "

It's been four years since we launched the Dragon Emblem, so I can understand what she doesn't know.

In particular, dragon emblems seem to have become a legendary game that only those who know about them recently because the "distribution structure" was very unique.

All the second-hand cartridges were still in custody and haven't been found in the market since last year.

Is that why?

The dragon emblem took first place last month on the rarest items currently available in Pammy Communications.

His second-hand trading amount was what he called a value, including an additional expansion pack to recover the data, but nevertheless became a rare item with no property at all.

Second place is a limited edition of the first edition featuring all heroine cartridges in 'Street Without Me'.

What's third place?

It may seem a little crazy, but it was the first demo cartridge of the Psychic Battle.

It wasn't on the market, but it was made in small quantities and given as a non-sale item, so it's being traded at a high price to a psychotic battle enthusiast?

If you are a collector of unknown weather, you need to have everything from 1 to 10 to relax your mind.

If I fall in one of them, I feel sad for no reason.

'I think the people who tried to collect this broke their money. There's nothing easy to get either... "

Currently, Dragon Emblem has been researching superfamily users and ranking them monthly on the top of the list of titles they would like to meet in the next series.

Since the Internet was not yet universalized, user and developer communication was conducted in this form of a magazine survey.

And it was created with the wishes of those users, 'Tamago of the Dragon Emblem.'

If you do not adjust the temperatures to the extreme temperatures due to the harshness, the 'Black Tamago-san', who died willingly, would be in someone's hands by now.

I hope that Tamago-san reaches out to someone who knows something about the Dragon Emblem.

'Otherwise, it has such a hard difficulty that I want to throw it away right away. '

I had dinner with Miyazaki and explained the 'Tamago-san of Dragon Emblem'.

"So it's completely different from the traditional Tamago-san. I'd say he's a little more devious. "

"That's right. If you ask me about black tamagos, I'll explain what I've told you. "

"But I'm afraid that this will not overheat the competition for the Dragon Emblem Tamagou. "

When Miyazaki asked me, I smiled and replied.

"There's a part of that that I've been thinking about. "

Then she opens her mouth with a chuckle.

"You really heard what Yuki said. "

"Yes?"

"I heard you're always hiding something. "

"Did Yuki say that? "

"Last time I had dinner with you, I heard about you."

Miyazaki was ashamed of himself and turned to talk.

"Oh, by the way, what's that cartridge you gave Uchimura earlier? The title's a little unusual. "

"You mean Valentine's Day? "

"I'm new to Pentagon Soft, so I'm a little concerned. "

By the way, Miyazaki likes games. I've often seen her play monster battles against the kids who come to the shop as a self-bred Tamago monster.

I asked her because I still had an extra cartridge in my bag.

"Do you want to play Miyazaki, too, if that's okay? "

"Can I really do that? "

"There's a super family in the break room, so I'll go home and play for you. "

&

Valentine's Day.

At a glance, Uchimura might have mistaken it for water, but in fact, it was a 'horror' inspired by one of the game "Killer of the Clock Tower" and the local game I played when I was a child.

The protagonist of this game tries to confess to his favorite girl based on Valentine's Day's Day, which is a very simple game.

The night before Valentine's Day, on the night of February 13th... a protagonist who secretly confessed to her friends would sneak into school with a letter and return with a letter on her desk.

Is that the end?

If only I could make it back alive.

That night.

After everyone went home, Miyazaki opened the break room door with an anticipated face.

"Sir, they're all gone. "

"Well done. "

"Then why is the break room so dark? Is the light out?"

"Miyazaki."

"Yes?"

"Do you like horror movies? "

In my question, Miyazaki smiled awkwardly and replied.

"Why the horror movie all of a sudden? "

"Just curious. "

I asked her for a couch, putting the cartridge in the super family at the same time as the answer.

"Have a seat over there. I'm going to watch Miyazaki play next to me. "

Miyazaki hesitated for a moment and slowly picked up the pad. I raised the power button with a slight smile.

Experience cartridges for Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Valentine's Day remained in play with the creepy BGM without a title screen.

Although the "ghost" appeared depending on the female character who wanted to confess, the trial package excluded the story of Prologue choosing Hiro and was showing the protagonist going straight to school.

"Sir, is this some kind of fear? "

Standing next to me, I nodded silently, and Miyazaki turned his head to the screen with tears.

"Fooled.."

But it was too late. I swallowed a smile and watched her play.

First of all, Valentine's Day followed a 2D cross-scrolling format. That is, I could only use the run button to run away from something because I could only move left and right.

Fear of a school with no lights out.

You've probably heard of the seven greatest wonders in schools that you've heard of as a child.

A red mask with a ripped mouth.

The sound of a piano playing alone in a music room with no one.

Students studying alone in a dark classroom.

The scene of 'Valentine's Day' was the place where the 1st degree who fell from the rooftop due to jealousy of 2nd degree fell and died upside down, taking a picture of his head and wandering around school.

Miyazaki tilted his head toward the creepy but familiar BGM over and over again and quickly turned his head toward me.

"Senior, isn't this what the kids call 'dongyo'? "

"That's right, it's a very slow increase in sound tempo. "

"I've heard a lot about you."

Later, the protagonist entered the school grounds, and Miyazaki carefully moved the protagonist back and forth.

The protagonist was able to use the left and right navigation keys and hide under the desk.

And in button operation, there was running buttons and using objects, which is unique.

There was a button called "Hold your breath."

By pressing the Y button, the protagonist was able to hold his breath, while he was able to hide from the ghost's eyes. However, the respiratory gauge has kept the device from holding its breath.

Shortly after hearing my explanation, Miyazaki began to head across the playground to the old teacher building. On Valentine's Day, there were two new teachers and an old teacher, and they prepared puzzle elements like an adventure genre.

Gum gains.....

Miyazaki, who heard a very awkward hinge and stepped into a dark old teacher, first found a switch to turn on the light.

Miyazaki, who found the switch installed on the wall with a creaking footprint, turned on the light with the Select button.

When the light turned on in the dark hallway, Miyazaki took a short breath.

But that was also...

Kuaaang!!!!!!

The light in the hallway flashes with a thunder sound, and the darkness returns.

The BGM that was repeatedly ringing faded away, and the dark corridor was repeating itself for a moment when lightning struck.

"Where should I go..? "

In Miyazaki's question, I swallowed a smile and replied, "It's the second floor."

She shrugs, manipulating the rudder key to move the protagonist. Miyazaki, who knows the location of the stairs with the mini-map at the top of the screen, is about to take another step.

The screen flashes white and something appears at the left end of the screen.

"Is that...? What is it?"

The swinging of the rope left and right does not seem normal to anyone.

"Is that...? What is it?"

The swinging of the rope left and right does not seem normal to anyone.

"You have to hold your breath when you pass by him. You'll be in trouble if you get caught."

Miyazaki took my advice, checked the respiratory gauge, and slowly approached him.

Luckily, the guy hanging from the rope turned his back and didn't know the protagonist was coming.

Yuck, yum, yum.

Along with a grumpy sound, she stopped breathing with the one shaking in the middle of the hall.

At that moment.

- Where are you...? -

"Gaaaah!!! "

Miyazaki, shocked by the eerie voice coming from the TV, screams. At the same time, I dropped my hand from the Y button, which is responsible for breathing the protagonist.

"Run!! "

It doesn't matter if you stop breathing again once the ghost has caught you.

Miyazaki quickly moved the protagonist to the end of the hall by pressing the B button on my shout.

At that moment, the corpse with the neck fell to the ground.

I turned around and started crawling back on my four feet, just like the scene from "The Exorcist."

Very, very fast.

"Gaaaah!!! "

Miyazaki continues to scream, surprised by the rapidly approaching object in a bizarre manner.

"Stairs there!! Get to the second floor!! "

While he was screaming, Miyazaki manipulated the protagonist up the stairs to see if he understood what I was saying.

At that moment, a dark second-floor corridor appeared as the screen shifted.

But you still hear footsteps chasing the protagonist.

"What do we do now? "

"Go into the classroom and hide. "

She opens the door in the classroom in front of her eyes and goes inside. Then, this time, the place changed to a classroom lined up.

"First, manipulate the directional keys and hide. Press up, press down on your desk, and hide under your desk. "

And at that moment, her judgment was under the desk. Huh? That's not a good idea.

But it's too late.

Bloop...

When the door of the classroom opened, Miyazaki stopped breathing on his own, even if I didn't tell him.

T-t-t-t-the ghost approaches the desk where the protagonist is hiding, and starts circling back and forth for a moment.

"Huff, puff, puff."

After a while, she just shrugged her shoulders holding her breath like the protagonist in the game. As the ghost exited the classroom, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And the moment I took my hand off the Y-button...

TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!!!! He came back into the classroom with a crazy sound effect.

And the moment I met the protagonist hiding under my desk.

- Found it.

The face of the woman smiling with blood tears upside down was closed up and the screen turned red.

-GAME OVER.-

"What do you think, Miyazaki? "

But she didn't answer any of my questions, holding the pad tightly in both hands.

"Miyazaki?"

Let's call her and put our hands on her shoulders. Her body collapses next to the thrust couch, like a broken doll.

Ugh!! You fainted!?

"Miyazaki!? Miyazaki!!"

"Hey, boss... uh-uh... who are you?"

"Yes? "

"That's too much!! How can you name this game" Valentine's Day "!? "

I mean, it's fun.

When the theme of the beginning of the prologue reverted back to the first screen, Miyazaki stood up and lowered the power button of the super family.

It seemed to be quite shocking.

"You okay?"

"I thought I was really scared to death!! "

"Then what I intend to do is succeed. "

Light up the break room, Miyazaki trembles to see if she's relieved.

I took the cartridge out of the super family and put it in my bag, and I opened my mouth, looking at her.

"You have to go home now, right? "

"Sir, is Mr. Uchimura going to be okay? "

"Maybe a few times, you'll be tolerant, right? "

"You seem a little scared to me."

"Oh, I forgot to mention that. "

What are you talking about? "

"This cartridge... we can't keep putting it in the superfamily. "

"Why?"

"There's an electrostatic transmitter in the cartridge... so something interesting happens when you put it in for a long time. "

"What do you mean? "

"Well, I mean, Should the powered off super family be turned on automatically? "

"Hiic.."

"It's a feature I like to think of as a formal one, but I put it in the trial. It's Uchimura.Are you sure you want to be okay? "

That night, I finally got Miyazaki home before I could go home.

&

The bizarre illustration of Valentine's Day was influenced by the Tamago Monster Contest. (I asked Maurita for an illustration, and she gave up on the appearance of a very colorful monstrosity that made a man suck on all his sheep.) Apart from the cute design monsters needed for the Tamago-san, I collected some weird monster paintings separately and visited them separately after the contest.

One of them had a strong sense of humor.

His painting, "The Upside-Down Woman," was a shocking illustration that broke the atmosphere of the flower game with just one illustration.

And it was the ghost that caused Miyazaki to faint.

This work was made with all sorts of narratives through a familiar place for everyone at the school, especially one with a lot of dedication to sound.

I managed to squeeze out the poor superfamily's sound chips and record them, but I decided to crush the sound on purpose because it was also difficult to maintain quality.

As a result, the sound of "Valentine's Day," which was mixed with some noise, was creating a more bizarre atmosphere with intermediate jitters.

'I caught a rat walking behind a cow. What...'

The next day, when I arrived at Pentagon Soft, I looked up at the tall building with a cigarette in my mouth.

Last summer, Pentagon Soft, which used the entire shabby four-story building, completed its move to a new building. The decision was made because Tamago-based monster designers had tripled the staff.

I want to work with employees in a slightly more pleasant environment.

In a way, shouldn't you be the first person to lead a company?

That's why the Pentagon Soft is in the 'Top 10 Companies I Want to Join' for Professional Schools and Universities.

Pentagon Soft did not force employees to attend.

Work hours were also held at 11 a.m., avoiding the rush hour of the workers. Lunch time was free for an hour and a half from 1: 00 to 2: 30, and all meals are paid for by the company when using restaurants designated near the company.

5: 30 p.m. commute.

After that, you cannot stay in the company unless it is for a special reason.

Everyone had to go home.

Of course, employees were able to apply for work and extend work if they wanted to, but the additional allowances were also paid, so employees were able to autonomously adjust their own hours of work.

Some employees sometimes stayed late thinking they could make money while avoiding rush hour on their way home, but most of their households were on time to leave.

After 8: 00, I was able to finish dinner at a restaurant near the company, just like at lunch, so some of the staff didn't want to go home and cook alone.

Of course, the Kawa Guchi representative was worried that it would be too much for the welfare of the employees before implementing the system, but given the total revenue generated by the Pentagon Soft today and the number of employees working, they were earning more than 10 million yen per person, so I did not miss the money at all.

Mintendo. No, this is exactly what I wanted to accomplish before the Time Leaf in 1983, if I was the owner of a company.

If you force him to sit at the company and get nothing, he should be rested.

Forcibly squeezing results in less flexible thinking.

Is that so? Even though there were three times as many employees as last year, the Pentagon soft atmosphere was very soft.

The Pentagon Soft was popular with young people, although it did not fit the Japanese atmosphere towards a very solemn workplace atmosphere.

Sayuri, who was Mr. Kawaguchi's assistant, welcomed me as soon as I checked my ID card and opened the automatic door installed in the office.

"Manager Kang Jun-hyuk. Hello!"

"Hello, Sayuri. "

"Ah, sir. I just had a visitor from Mintendo. Mr. Kawaguchi asked me to come to the CEO's office when you come to work. "

"A guest? Do you know who that is? "

"This is Nisekoi Gunpei from Mintendo. "

Mr. Gunpei is in Pentagon Soft? You're old. You've come a long way.

At this point, I was not surprised because I thought something would come from Mintendo.

This is because 'the streets without me' earlier this year and 'the Tamago Monster' in the summer were the biggest hits, and the Pentagon Soft was currently the 'axis' as long as it could never be ignored in the gaming industry.

I have a pretty good idea what you're looking for.

I thanked Sayuri for letting me know and moved to the second development office where I work.

"Good morning. "

"Ahhh!! Sir!!"

As soon as I entered the development room, Morita and Hayashi ran towards me as expected.

"Sir, do you know who's in the Executive Director's office right now? "

"I know. You said Gunpei is here."

After joining Pentagon Soft, I spoke to Morita and Hayashi.

I appreciate your boss writing you a name, but do you think they're uncomfortable?

After the psychic battle, I've been hanging out with three people on the streets without me for three years, and now I just feel like a friend...

"Did you know? "

"Yes, Sayuri told me on the way in. "

"Yes, but what is it about executives like Gunpei who are not other people? "

"What's the big deal? President Kamauchi would have asked me to pick up the pods. "

As far as Minten is concerned, the Pentagon Soft is now a golden goose.

You think he's gonna make a deal? For now, Kawaguchi doesn't have the final say, so he must be begging for a story.

"Then I'll go to the Executive Director's office for a while. "

I tapped Hayashi's shoulder with a blank expression and headed to Chairman Shil.

The second team and the CEO were actually pretty close to one of the hallways, so I tried to snap my neck and knock lightly for a while. I heard Gunpei scream in the room.

"Shhhhh!!! "

... isn't it usually "aah" or "aah"?

I've never heard a scream like that before in my life.

Just hearing Gunpei's screams, I feel like I know what's going on inside. I'm smiling in relief.

Knock, knock.

When I finished knocking lightly and opened the door of the CEO's thread, I saw Gunpei with a white face in front of my eyes.

"Hello, Gunpei. "

"Huh? Huh, strong. It's been a while."

I almost burst out of laughter as Gunpei dropped the super family's gamepad and stole cold sweat.

Kawaguchi was also stumbling around his mouth, so it was obvious that he was forcefully smiling.

"I tried playing this game in Pentagon Soft, but I thought my heart was sinking. "

Gunpei, who had swallowed the drink brought by his secretary, was amazed at the creepy BGM that flowed from the TV.

"Giving up high-quality sound and deliberately blurring the sound to make the atmosphere more tense. I also felt it in Mintendo, but the idea of a strong force is always brilliant.

You'll be amazed at the sight of Siege Army. "

Gunpei smiled satisfactorily and looked at me.

After I put down the super family. I sat across from him.

"How are things going with Mr. Kamauchi and Mr. Shige? "

"Of course, thanks to the Tamago monster that was launched last summer, the portable gem boy is currently on the market. Even Kamauchi boss has been playing Tamago-san lately. "

"And Mr. Kamauchi? I'm surprised about that. "

"It's your work, and you're very happy, but very sad on the one hand. You must be very sorry you didn't get to the bottom of this. "

"Haha, thank you for saying that. So what brings you here today? "

"Oh, right. In fact, this time, we had a meeting inside Mintendo. I'm here to deliver some very good news to Pentagon Soft. "

"Good news? "

Then Gunpei smiled and replied.

"I want Pentagon Soft to be our second party in Mintendo. "

"Yes!? "

Kawaguchi also looked surprised by Gunpei's words.

Second party.

To give you a brief description of this term, the console gaming industry includes "First Party," "Second Party," and "Third Party."

Other indie games are either single-person or two-third-person, but let's not get into the middle of this.

First-parties are games that are launched as their brand by the manufacturer of the console.

For example, the legends of SuperMaridge and Karin, made by Mr. Shigere. Dongking Com, etc.

There is a 0% chance that first-party games will be converted to other consoles as they are created directly by the company that makes the consoles.

When I was a kid, I used to wonder why the 'Super Sonic' on NEGA drives wouldn't be launched.

If you could just come out with it, it would be the best game machine...

At that time, the popularity of the super family really hit the sky, so I hoped that 'Super Sonic' would be released one day, but that didn't happen.

Second, Third Party.

If you ask us why we explain Third Parties first, not Second Parties, we can say that the companies that make them universally belong to Third Parties.

Unlike the First Party, Third Party was able to launch the game freely on any company console.

Given the conditions and technology, it was possible to create and launch games for super families and NEGA drives simultaneously.

At the request of the users, it was also the third party that was able to launch the game relatively freely at a later stage as well as other companies' consoles.

Of course, in the early '90s, everyone was loyal to Mintendo enough to be the only alcoholic in Mintendo, so the Third Party used to launch the game almost as a superfamily.

However, the disadvantage of the Third Party was that it was not easy to pass the breakeven point because every time the game was launched, a huge amount of royalty had to be paid to Mintendo.

If the game that invested a lot of money didn't work out, you'd have to take all that responsibility and screw it up.

Is that so? Much of the game companies that emerged in the family era have disappeared almost entirely, leaving more than the major they gave us. (Even though there are many new soft companies that are emerging in the meantime...)

The Pentagon's current location belonged to the Third Party of the two categories above, but it was only producing console games released by Mintendo. Like Phoenix Soft, who produces the Dragon Warrior, he is quite loyal to the third party console he throws in Mintendo.

And now, for the last time, there's a second party.

As anyone would have guessed by now, a second party means that the third party, the company, goes under the first party.

Keep the company's name but make sure that any games released by the company are only for consoles created by First Party and cannot be converted to other consoles.

Instead, it minimized the royalty handed to Mintendo and gained recognition as it was released with Mintendo's name, which guaranteed some sales revenue.

Currently, many game companies wanted to be the second party in mintendo, because all of the games that they produce are for the super family, even though they are still the third party.

Earl Fit's proposal could feel very sweet because he could not ignore the impact of a 'superfamily' with the best recognition and penetration rates within Japan.

Kawaguchi also turned white on Gunpei's tempting proposal.

But I thought differently.

It was like going back down to Minten.

A second party will get investment or support from Mintendo, but will have the coercion to report daily about production times, game stories, concepts and genres.

'That means you can't even dream of launching a game like Valentine's Day. '

Kawaguchi was looking over my shoulder pretending to consider Gunpei's proposal.

I shook my head, rubbing the tip of my nose slightly towards that Kawaguchi.

Signature to reject his offer.

"If Pentagon Soft is to be our second party in Mintendo, then Mr. Kamauchi has promised to do the best he can for us. It will be the most unprecedented partnership in the history of gaming to date. "

However, the Kawaguchi representative who had already noticed my signature opened his mouth with a sad expression.

"Thank you for Mintendo's offer. But...

It was then.

- Kiyayayayayayayayayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! -

"Ugh!! "

"Shhhhh!!!!! "

"Fuck!! What a surprise!!"

(Korean came out without me knowing.) I forgot to remove the Valentine's Day trial cartridge from the super family. The super family was automatically powered on and a terrifying face of the woman who was turned upside down appeared on the screen.

"Phew... I thought I'd fallen..."

I quickly put up and down the power button of the super family and unplugged the cartridge. Then the Kawaguchi representative said to me with a white bored face.

"Joon-Hyuk. Maybe you should just take that thing off. "

"Is that so? Haha... I made it, but it's a little harsh. I thought you had a heart attack. I'm sorry, Gunpei."

But Gunpei didn't answer anything and just stared at me.

"Mr. Gunpei?"

" .... "

"We've got trouble. Jules, call 911! Gunpei!!! Wake up!! "

I rushed Mr. Gunpei onto the couch, forcefully pressed down on his chest, and performed CPR. How many times do I have to repeat myself?

"Cough!! Cough... ugh!! "

Fortunately, Gunpei's mind came back.

Wow... I never thought I'd be this surprised. I almost became a murderer.

&

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Though he regained consciousness, Gunpei was eventually transported to the hospital in an ambulance because of the shock of his legs.

And me and Mr. Kawaguchi are also responsible for this situation.), so I followed him in the car.

On the way to the hospital, Kawaguchi who was riding next to me asked me.

"Why did you refuse Gunpei's offer? What all third-parties want now is to be the second party in Mintendo, but I don't understand Joon-Hyuk's decision. "

"What do you want to know about Kawaguchi? I understand that too. But we have to look a little bit further. "

"A little further? "

"It's true that Mintendo is the best console company that no one can touch.

But their times won't last forever. "

"Yes? You mean Mintendo will fall? "

"Sitting on the throne for a long time. There comes a time when everything in the world feels insignificant. Mintendo stayed on the throne for too long. And you don't feel any tension in the current game market. "

"But don't you have a company to stand up to? "

"Yes, Mintendo is the best console company right now. But there will be a new wind in a few years. What we need to capture is not to miss out on that new flow. "

"A new wind."

Kawaguchi tilted his head at my words, but he no longer vomited.

Well, I've never lost anything by listening to me.

&

"Who is Nisekoi Gunpei's guardian? "

"Oh, yes! "

Me and Kawaguchi, who were waiting in the chair in the nurse's voice, hurriedly ran away.

"I think you're in shock, so I gave you a sedative. You can take the rest of the day off and leave tomorrow. But what caused the shock? "

"What? Oh, it's the game."

"A game?"

The nurse tilts her head in a daze and writes something on the chart and goes back.

Fortunately, after saying that everything was fine, Kawaguchi and I opened the door and entered the room.

"Gunpei, are you feeling well? "

"Haha... This is embarrassing. I can't believe I'm so confused by a game screen. But didn't you turn off the power to the superfamily? "

"That's right."

"Then how did the game screen suddenly appear? "

"Well, I put an electrostatic transmitter in the cartridge. Over time, the electrical shock inside the cartridge will spontaneously power the superfamily."

"Is that possible? "

"You saw it with your own eyes. "

"Haha... I saw it myself, but I can't believe I saw it. Is this your idea, too? "

"Yes, but I think we should remove that feature. What if I pass out like Mr. Gunpei.."

"Yeah. It was a little harsh for a joke. Hahaha!"

Even though Gunpei felt threatened by life because he had known me for a long time, he was just trying to laugh.

"Sorry.."

"No. As expected, Kang-gun is still having fun thinking. 'How can we get more of their medicine up there?' Haha! Yeah... Maybe that's when it started, right? Ever since I created the Dragon Emblem..."

"Yes?"

"Strong troops. Do I look like I have a nostril? Even though I'm old, I'm not an idiot. Custom chips used in Dragon Emblems. And this mysterious e-mail address... I don't know the number, but KJH Korean developer already knew it was you. "

"Oh..."

"You gave me too many hints. "

"Is that so? Haha... And Mr. Shigei or Mr. Kamauchi? "

"No. I don't think they know that far ahead. "

"If I'd known that, Mr. Kamauchi wouldn't have let me go. "

Gunpei glanced at me with a smile.

Even though they were older, after working together for a long time from the moment we met, it felt like a lot of love had been accumulated.

I hesitated for a moment and opened my mouth.

"Gunpei, on my way to the hospital, I spoke to Kawaguchi, and our Pentagon software has decided to reject the offer of mintendo. "

"Really? Why? Now all the gaming companies want to be our second party in Mintendo."

I answered Gunpei's question, reliving my taste.

"If you go to Minten..."

After a few moments of hesitation, I finally smiled and spoke behind my back.

"You can't make a game like Valentine's Day. "

Then Gunpei smiled and replied.

"Well, that, too."

"I want to create a more diverse and new genre of games. "

< Short: Valentine's Day in Uchimura >

-Pentagon Soft Development Team 2nd Manager Kang Jun-hyuk. - I put my card in my bag and thought about it.

Although he was given Miyuki's figure to a man named Kang Jun-hyuk, he had no regrets.

Maybe he'll pass it on to Yuki.

The way back home...

The bag is empty, but the wallet that was always poor is thick.

I never thought one of my figures would bring me more money than a month's salary of part-time covers.

In addition, there is a cartridge of a new game he received from him.

The latest in Pentagon Soft, which is not yet open to the public!!

The name is also beautiful 'Valentine's Day.' It seemed like beautiful girls would rush to me with chocolates.

The cartridge of the super family was feeling much more luxurious than the cartridge of the original family.

The front of the grey cartridge had a glamorous curve, and even fitting the cartridge to the super family did not obscure the title sticker on the front, so it felt good to watch.

After a while.

I got off the train and stopped by the usual lunch box house before returning home.

Today's wallet is thick, so why don't you buy a more expensive lunch box?

"Oh, Uchimura. It's been awhile. Is there another doncas lunchbox today? "

You always take care of the cheapest Duncas lunchbox, and now you don't even have to ask.

But for today, you have to choose a different menu.

"No. Smoked salmon and beef steak lunchbox, please. "

"Is it payday? Yeah! Sometimes you have to eat meat and fish instead of doncas. I'll bring you lots of food!"

"Thank you."

Immediately, with a tingling sound, the rich beef flavor began to irritate the tip of my nose. But all I wanted to do was go home a little sooner and play Valentine's Day.

"Here's 1,480 yen."

It always felt strange to eat a 480-yen doncas lunch box and add another thousand yen to it.

But it's about this luxurious. Nothing compared to what I have right now.

I finished my calculations with the ten thousand yen bills and hurried home with the heavy box vinyl in my hand.

"Uhhh!! Uchimura!!"

As soon as he saw me, Yoda, who was playing with his friends at the playground in front of the house, ran and started sneaking around.

"Hyung, Hyung!! I won the battle with the local boys using the Bahamut my brother gave me. Amazing, isn't it?"

"Oh, yeah. Amazing."

I wanted to go home quickly, but I turned my head in a drowsy reply to Yoda's words.

"What? Why is it so cold today? "

"He's a little busy today. "

"You didn't make weird doll clothes for me to battle you the other day!! "

'Honestly, I'm too old to play with you. '

I kept tapping Yoda's forehead tied to my arm and answering with the softest voice possible.

"I'll play with you next time. "

Khh! That was a nice gesture I just saw. Cook, Cook, Cook.

I passed him cool and went up to the house, and I heard Yoda's muttering voice behind me.

"That guy's been acting weird lately."

&

In order to leave the part-time at night, I still had to keep my eyes open, but I turned on the TV in a hurry and put Valentine's Day in the cartridge of the super family because I let it go on forever.

'Phew... The game is good, but when the beef steak cools down, it doesn't taste good. I'm still hungry, so let's eat and get started. '

I changed my mind to eat first, and soon I brought a small table for one person and spread my legs.

"Oh, my God. I need to tidy up and get a life... and start making figures, and then the house is a mess."

He would, too, have been stuck tightly on Styrofoam with Nazi figurine parts waiting to be painted since yesterday. Even the Nanase figures have to get started soon...

Recalling the excitement of the first Hasega and Miyuki's figures being bid at an enormous price, the figures in front of them suddenly began to look like money strings.

'If I do well, I might be able to touch more money than spending the night in a covered rice house. I guess we'll have to make the next figure quickly, won't we? '

Eventually, I put the lunch box on the floor and began to paint the food at the same time.

I was already thinking about how to dress her, so I chewed her food and the work was very smooth.

While the popularity of characters' products has increased recently and a wide variety of figures have spilled out, they were all colored in the factory and therefore of varying quality.

Even if the original buys it himself, you won't be able to touch that many products.

However, after doing this in person, I am very satisfied with the painting.

That's why I've been feeling very attractive about this work lately.

I painted Nasse's eyebrows with a thin brush, murmuring the theme artist of 'Street Without Me', blowing cold breath to harden the enamel.

Then... a small voice came into my ears like the wind.

- What are you...? -

"Don't you see? I'm painting a figure... "

Huh... What is it? What was that?

- Look at this.

Turning slowly to the voice calling out to me, I saw something strange on the TV screen.

And the moment I found out what it was. I felt my heart hardening.

- Kiyayayayaaaaaaaaaaah!! -

"Uahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! "

As all the rice balls in his mouth popped out, the brush in his hand began to move freely.

"Mom!! Mommy! Aaaah! "

Is this what the term "cornerstone" is about?

I don't know what to do with the ghost on TV, but I was screaming, and I thumped against the wall next door.

In the end, I was embarrassed and pulled out the TV's electrical cord. Then came the silent silence with a tick.

"Phew... Phew... What is it? What just happened?"

Is the TV haunted? It seemed like a lifetime of trauma.

I've been looking around for what's going on, and there's definitely a green light on the entire superfamily that's been powered down.

"Why is this on? Is it broken?"

As I tilted my head up and down the power button, the lights of the power unit turned red again.

Just in case it breaks down, plug the power cord of the TV back in and turn the switch on, and a few moments later, a creepy BGM flows out of the TV speaker.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

"No way, this game. Is that fear?"

What's with the title, anyway?

Immediately, I quickly turned off the power and unplugged the game cartridge as the air in the room became cooler.

While sweeping his surprised chest, he looked around and saw whether he had kicked the lunch box off the ground screaming, and turned it upside down in one corner. The face of Naasis was so messed up that it was hard to bear.

Then I remembered Kang Jun-hyuk, who smiled at me while handing me a game cartridge.

This is why I answered 'No' to my question, asking if I was smiling just by looking at the title 'Valentine's Day.' I can't forgive it.

I can't even go to a haunted house if I go to an amusement park!!!

&

Curiosity. It's amazing.

Sometimes, curiosity outweighs fear and fear.

After roughly mopping the room, I took a deep breath and put the cartridge back into the superfamily, which wiped the face of Naasis clean with acetone.

"Yes, it's just a game. It's also a trial."

I slapped my cheeks several times, sighing for a long time, and raised the power switch.

Soon after the game started with the creepy BGM mixed with the noise as expected, I was born and challenged for the first time the genre "Fear."

Of course, I've rented scary movies in a video store before, but games and movies are not the same.

Because movies are just about 'watching' videos according to a given story, but the game requires direct 'manipulation' to follow a given story.

After all, you have to go through all the horror elements prepared by the creator to reach the end of the story, the end.

'Run and hold your breath for now. And the Enable button... You can move left and right and hide yourself using the top hockey. Okay, here we go.'

I had my mind set on it, but it really hasn't let go since the beginning.

Ghosts that swarm upside down somehow managed to hide themselves on the desk, but that was really just the beginning.

In a dark school, there were all kinds of ghosts stumbling around at strange angles, and the scariest of them was a ghost that fell off the roof and died.

I hear a strange sound when he approaches...

Bang, bang. Bang, bang.

That's it!!

At first, I wanted to know what this meant, but I almost knew who it was.

It's because the ghost that fell from the head on the rooftop was running around crushing his head on the ground, standing upside down.

When he showed up, he had to flee to a high place, but the closer I got to the player, the faster I felt like I was going crazy.

After about 20 minutes like that, I could barely get out of the Old Testament, and I saw a light shake far away.

Is that a person?

I was confident that I was an ordinary person because I was walking relatively naturally. I rushed to manipulate the protagonist into a light.

Wouldn't it be less terrifying to be with someone in the game? Closer to the thought, it was a senior in blue guard clothing.

He approaches me for a moment, then turns around and starts walking to the other side.

I'm holding a Huresh for now, so let's talk to him about not walking through dark halls anymore.

The protagonist turned his head 180 degrees, and his face was full of screens closed up.

- There you are. -

"... why are you doing this to me?"

&
