March, the cherry blossoms start to bloom gradually from south to north in Japan, and during this ti, governnt officials in various places will also promote the season for cherry blossom viewing, while so shops also begin to sell products related to cherry blossoms.
However, on this day, a new product seems sowhat out of place with the season.
The FC ho entertainnt computer.
A brand new special product.
Its function is simply for entertainnt purposes.
At the entrance of the only sales venue, Ota's Arcade, there is already a long line.
Among them are many familiar faces.
They are all custors who have experienced electronic gas at Ota's Arcade before.
This ti, the majority of people queuing up are adults, but many of them are brought by their children. They say that if they are not allowed to buy it, they won't listen to their parents for the rest of the year.
Helplessly, seeing that the price of this thing is still acceptable, they co over to buy it for their children to keep them quiet completely.
"What's so fun about this thing? And why do we have to wait in such a long line? I say, child, I'll take you to buy the latest Transforrs, which I heard are imported from the United States, much more fun than this, and even more expensive."
"I don't want that! I want this!"
"Alright."
Parents generally feel that the queue is too long and are a bit impatient.
But they can't resist their children's insistence.
This also makes them more curious about what's so fun about this thing.
They also noticed that there are several dozen tents at the entrance.
Obviously, these are the people who ca to queue up several days in advance.
They all look very young, probably in their early twenties or even younger.
Is it necessary to make such crazy moves just to buy this thing?
It's still early spring, and the weather is a bit cold.
It's really hard to understand what these people are thinking. No wonder they say that today's young people in Japan are a lost generation.
They can actually be so crazy just to buy an entertainnt product.
With a rustle, the rolling shutter slowly rises, and the people hiding in the tents imdiately spring into action, coming out one after another.
"Wait, I'm the first one, please don't cut in line."
"Don't push, don't push!"
As the sign at the entrance changes to open, people imdiately rush into the arcade.
The originally sowhat spacious arcade quickly fills up with people.
They wave their banknotes and shout to buy ga consoles.
Especially the first few people in line, they directly want to buy more than ten ga consoles, and they also want to purchase several gas to go along with them, buying them as a package.
Airi Tsukino is still wrapped up tightly today, avoiding any close contact with anyone.
When she saw the huge size of the queue, she imdiately beca discouraged.
She had actually anticipated this.
Today, she's afraid she won't be able to buy the ga console.
This made her feel a little regretful.
Seeing so many people lining up, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
During this ti, Airi Tsukino always cos over at midnight.
Because at that ti, there are the fewest people, and she can occupy a ga console by herself, with no one else around.
If only this shop could also sell ga consoles at midnight.
Airi thought so.
She really wants to play these gas imdiately, but...
She looked at her hands, then glanced at the crowd.
She wanted to muster the courage to go over, but the feeling of fear quickly spread again.
Forget it, I won't go.
It's just a few gas anyway, sooner or later, I'll be able to play them, at most... at most, I'll just stay up a few more days without sleeping.
These past few days, she hasn't slept well because there were no gas to play.
She really wants to clear Dragon Quest.
In the past few days, she was about to turn the trial version of Dragon Quest into a speedrun ga.
Right, why can't I make gas myself?
But... how do I do it?
Being proficient in using computers, she has no idea how to make gas.
In this world, there's no one to guide you on how to make gas.
"There are a lot of people, right?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared next to Airi Tsukino.
"Ah!"
Airi Tsukino was suddenly startled, quickly jumped back, and looked at the person who spoke with fear.
"Sorry, I might have scared you."
Takayuki said in astonishnt.
He didn't expect this girl who had been standing aside all along to react so strongly.
Normal people would just slightly retreat, but she jumped out so quickly, was he really that scary?
Today is the official release day of the ga console.
No matter what, he will definitely co here to take a look.
Originally, he was planning to enter the store, and he even prepared his cara. On such a day, he must take more pictures to commorate it.
But one person caught his attention.
That's Airi Tsukino.
She's wrapped up tightly as always, and looking at her from a distance, she doesn't seem like an ordinary passerby, she seems a bit strange.
So Takayuki walked over to chat with her.
"Please don't co near , just stay where you are."
Airi Tsukino raised her hand to gesture to stop him, and looked at Takayuki vigilantly.
Takayuki suddenly felt puzzled, this person is getting weirder and weirder.
"You seem very eager to buy the ga console, but why don't you queue up?"
Takayuki noticed several tis before that Airi Tsukino seed to have the impulse to walk over, but she would quickly stand still.
This does seem a bit abnormal.
"It's... it's too crowded here." Airi Tsukino said with her head tilted, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone.
"Many people... that's true, it does seem chaotic with so many people, and so people really won't like this kind of environnt. Speaking of which, we really need to consider custors like you." Takayuki rubbed his chin in thought.
"What?" Airi Tsukino didn't react for a mont.
"Oh, it's like this, I'm also a sales staff, just a substitute. If you don't want to queue up, you can leave your address, and we'll deliver it to your doorstep by mail. You just need to pay on delivery, just like TV shopping."
At this mont, Takayuki suddenly rembered the delivery service from his previous life.
Sure enough, for electronic products with such a huge future sales volu, express delivery is necessary.
Simple store sales are a bit inefficient in terms of efficiency.
Airi Tsukino looked suspiciously at Takayuki.
No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem like a sales staff mber.
But he also didn't seem like a completely unrelated passerby.
"Alright, if you don't trust , you can leave your address with the staff in the store. I'll arrange for one or two people to co out for registration later, and try to deliver it to your doorstep within three days."
After saying that, Takayuki walked into the store.
He suddenly thought of so ideas to speed up sales and planned to have a good talk with Ota.
There's no ti to continue chatting with Airi Tsukino.
But the image of this strange girl stuck in Takayuki's mind.
Airi Tsukino looked at Takayuki entering the arcade, and then she felt that Takayuki's suggestion seed indeed good, so she took out paper and pen from her pocket and wrote down her address and contact information.
Not long after, two store employees also walked out of the store, holding a huge sign that read 'Address Registration Office, custors in line behind can register their addresses here (limited to Tokyo area), delivery to your doorstep within three days.'
As soon as Airi Tsukino saw it, her eyes lit up imdiately. She quickly walked up, handed her written address to the staff, and then left quickly without looking back.
Seeing the first person leave so quickly, like fleeing, the two store employees were a bit bewildered.
"Hey, wait a minute, I seem to rember this girl, she used to co over to play gas at night."
"Ah, is that the weird girl who cos at night?"
"Why 'weird girl', that's so rude, why would she be called that?"
"Because that's what the custors say, they say that girl prohibits anyone from approaching her, not even allowed to watch her play gas, she's a strange woman."
"Hmm... she does seem a bit strange."
At this mont, Airi Tsukino, who had left, was unaware of the discussion behind her. She was feeling quite pleased.
Three days for delivery to her doorstep, hmm, that's acceptable.
If she waits here, who knows how long it'll take to find a ti when there's no one around to buy the ga console.
