But Ryoma's words had a huge impact on me.

- Shadows of shadows.

In my mind, I can't get rid of the picture of me crying and playing tennis and being abused by a dragon horse.

Although I decided not to compete with Ryoma, but... who knows what will happen in the future.

We walked down the street side by side, getting ready to go home.

I turned my head, and Ryoma was chewing the candy I gave with puffed cheeks.

Long Ma looked over, his speech was slurred: "What's wrong?"

I do not……"

I blinked, and just about to turn back, a doll came out from the video game city on the opposite street, holding a big sign.

"Today, there is a [-]% discount in the video game store, and those who break the record can get a little yellow chicken doll."

...little yellow chicken doll...!

I paused. For some reason, the business of the video game mall here is not very good. It may be because there is another bigger video game mall not far from Qingxue, and its customers are less.

Seeing me stop, Ryoma looked down at me, then turned to look across the street.

Clearly said: "Oh, you want to play with this? A doll?"

I paused and nodded: "Go?"

Ryoma completely crushed the candy, swallowed it, and licked the corner of his lips casually: "Go."

Me: "Then go, go!"

Crossing the road and waiting for the red light, Ryoma didn't carry the big backpack today, so I had no choice but to hold his hand.

My finger accidentally touched Ryoma's wrist inside the black cuff and touched something. I wondered, "What's on your wrist?"

Ryoma: "Huh?"

I rolled up his sleeves a little, and it was a sky-blue sports wristband: "Don't fight, do you want to wear it too?"

"No." Ryoma didn't seem to think that he was still wearing it. Maotong stared at the wristband, then looked up at me after a while, "I forgot to take it off."

"Oh."

Said the green light was on, I was watching Ryoma's wristband and didn't pay attention, he pulled me up with his backhand: "Let's go."

It turned into him pulling me away.

When we arrived at the video game city, there were not many people inside, the broadcast and the bgm of countless machines were loud.

I pointed: "Playing the dancing machine?"

Ryoma still took my hand and said indifferently, "No."

I looked around: "Hmm...claw machine?... Forget it, let's have a more exciting one."

I walked deeper into the video game city, and Ryoma just held my hand and followed me indifferently.

A joystick-operated two-player game machine caught my attention.

I took a closer look and happily said, "Play with that!"

Long Ma hummed, raised his eyebrows when he saw clearly what it was: "Tennis game?"

"Yeah!" I walked over and sat down to insert coins, and the screen displayed the game preparations, "Real tennis is not good, and I can always beat you in the game."

Longma sneered and sat down too: "Whatever you want, but you'd better fight with the heart of losing."

Me: "Slightly."

I'm pretty sure about handle games.

Full of confidence, he started, choosing a villain with pink hair, and Ryoma randomly chose a villain with green hair.

And when the two little people stand on the same side of the tennis court, my expression cracks.

Me: "What's going on!?"

Ryoma glanced at me: "Didn't you notice, it's a two-player cooperative game."

I thought it was a battle game...! !

All right, let's cooperate.

Opposite is the machine-operated opponent. Ryoma and I didn't discuss any tactics, so we went straight to it.

Me: "Wait...! That's my ball!"

Longma's expression remained unchanged: "Sorry, I couldn't help it when I saw it."

I:"……"

Longma: "Ewha, don't stand in front of me, I won't be able to catch the ball."

Me: "...that's my field!"

Ryoma: "Ewha, that's my ball!"

Me: "If I don't hit it, it will fall!"

Ryoma: "No, I can catch it!"

Me: "I won't believe you in the game!"

The two little people on the screen run around, follow the ball, but collide again, and the ball bumps past them.

The score quickly widened.

I panicked and said, "I'm going to lose!"

Longma squinted his eyes and ignited his fighting spirit: "Pear Blossom, listen to me later."

Me: "...Don't, you didn't play well just now! It's different from the three-dimensional!"

Ryoma: "..."

Me: "You should listen to me, I play the game very well!"

Ryoma: "No."

The ending was that we were disobedient to each other, moved around indiscriminately, and finally lost the game.

I sighed and let go of the handle: "I lost."

Echizen Ryoma and Cat Hitomi stared at the word "lose" on the screen for a moment, "I've said it all, you can win if you listen to me earlier."

Originally, I was calming down and wanted to play other things, but when I heard this, I became very angry.

I stared at him: "No! You can win if you listen to me early!"

Ryoma also turned to look at me: "Ewha, you don't know how to play tennis."

I was even more angry: "This is a game! You should listen to more powerful people!"

Not to be outdone, Ryoma said, "This is tennis. Even with the handle, the rules are still there, and you were punished only after you made a foul!"

Me: "Because I'm trying that kind of operation, is it possible in the game! There are certain rules in the game, and it's not a real person!... You said it's tennis, then give me an outspin serve in it!"

I glared at him, and Ryoma's cat pupils also glared at me, neither wanting to compromise.

Me/Ryoma: Games/tennis games are things that cannot be compromised...! !

I got angry: "I don't want to play games with you anymore!"

"..." Long Ma paused when he heard the words, but he didn't turn his head around, and almost subconsciously followed my words to retort, "I am the one, I don't want to double fight with you!"

...It's all said that this is not tennis!

Me: "Who cares about it!"

I was so angry that I picked up my schoolbag and left.

After leaving the video game city, I walked in the direction of home, walking fast.

The more you think, the more angry you are.

At the beginning, it’s fine to grab my ball. From that angle, according to my experience in playing games, he couldn’t catch it at all, so I went up to play.

Could it be that he thought it was a three-dimensional...can also run, slide, shovel, and hit the ball with the word B! !

He also said to listen to him, stop joking!No one dared me to listen to him in the game!

Mad at me, mad at me, mad at me!

I walked for a while, the person behind followed me easily, Ryoma turned his head: "...Hi."

I didn't look at him: "Don't talk to me!"

Long Ma paused, I overtook him and continued walking.

I noticed that Ryoma didn't keep up, and just kept a close distance behind.

I didn't care, I kept my eyes on the whole time, and went upstairs to open and close the door when I got home.

I shower at night and get ready for bed.

[Ryoma: Poke the cat.jpg]

I turned my phone back when I saw it, and didn't read the message below.

I'm afraid that arguing on the phone will swallow up the rest of my drowsiness.

Roll over to sleep.

When the last class was over the next morning, I hesitated.

I don't want to go to the cafeteria, and I don't want to go to the rooftop.

...Do you want to release dragon horse pigeons...?

Or find someone to help me talk about it?

Forget it, just ask someone who is going to the cafeteria to give me a message.

I was looking for someone, when someone shouted at the door of the classroom: "Hino, someone is looking for you!"

Nozaki: "Is this a direct interception, not bad."

Yui rummaged through the drawer: "Where did my bento go... oh, here it is."

Fukuoka Yuta said to himself: "Yesterday I made a magic circle..."

I paused and knew who it was without even thinking about it.

I walked over, there were not many people in the corridor, and they all went to eat.

Ryoma raised his head and stared at me: "Ewha."

I don't know what expression to put on: "Go and eat first, I won't..."

"..." Longma Maotong glanced away for a moment, then looked over again, his voice was calm, but when he listened carefully, he said softly, "Your doll, I won."

……what?

I didn't realize what it meant for a while.

I didn't meet his eyes all the time, and then I looked at him: "..."

After a moment of silence, Ryoma pursed his lips, and his amber eyes looked away: "...won't you come and see?"

I:"……"

Inexplicably agreed.

I followed him to the rooftop, but the atmosphere was weird and I didn't speak.

Standing on the rooftop, I took the doll he handed over with one hand.

I don't know what's on it, it floated to my nose, and I couldn't help sneezing.

"...Ah, last night... Karubin seems to have hugged this doll." Ryoma said unnaturally, as if he just remembered.

Has cat hair...?

I looked down, and the little yellow chicken was not as good-looking as the ones in the commodity store.

I whispered: "I'm not angry because of this..."

"..." Long Ma paused, and then whispered, "...a double play?"

I resolutely refused: "No."

"...Anyway," Ryoma raised his head, his ears turned red, and said awkwardly, "Don't be angry."

I'm actually a little relieved.

And I feel that there is no reason to argue at all. He will not compromise on tennis, and I am the same on games.

I had no choice but to forcefully say: "Okay..."

When we took a nap together, he kissed my face, I thought about it, and kissed his too.

Just reconciled, it's all sticky breath.

I want to talk about yesterday: "That game..."

Ryoma also just said: "That tennis ball..."

Me/Ryoma: "..."

Me: ...No, I have to resist the idea that he is just a game.

Ryoma: No, hold back the thought of refuting her.

We look at each other.

The next second, Ryoma and I said in unison: "Don't mention tennis games in the future."

The intersection of respective proud realms is a disaster.
