(TN: Similar to the Western card game rummy, Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although some regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones. In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles.- Source: Google)
“Hmm, you have the nerve to challenge me to a game of mahjong. I’m not going to let you play with your cards! Wait… why do we come here to play mahjong? At least, it’s not a game that couples come all the way here to play!”
Oh, there you go.
I was pleasantly surprised.
But I’m satisfied.
“I was joking. So, what game are you going to play?”
“Oh, let’s see, … this is not exactly a game.”
“Not a game? If you come to an arcade and don’t play games, then you’re not a gamer!”
“I don’t remember becoming a gamer! Just follow me.”
It’s certainly annoying to other customers if we stand there talking to ourselves.
Having no other choice I follow her.
Then, we walk to the corner where the photo booths were lined up.
“… Photobooth?”
“Yes, that’s right. I’ve always dreamed of taking photos with my boyfriend.”
“Wow, that’s a surprisingly silly dream.”
“Don’t call it a dream, please! It’s okay, right? It’s okay to have such a small dream…”
Hishinuma-san, who says she has a small dream, is so sullen, but still, she looks cute.
If it was a normal guy, he would be thrilled.
“All right. Shall we photograph it then?”
“Is… it okay?”
“What are you talking about after you bring me here?”
“Ugh, that’s true, but…”
“I’m your boyfriend, after all. I should at least make your silly dreams come true.”
“Hey, you just said that again!”
While appeasing a grumpy Hishinuma-san, I walk into the photo booth.
“Hishinuma-san, you can choose. To be honest, it’s my first time, so anything is fine.”
“Oh, really? Is it your first time?”
“Yes, so be nice to me, okay?”
“Can you please not say anything weird like that here? We will get a lot of weird looks from other customers.”
I noticed that the other customers (mostly girls) at the photo booth corner are looking at me with funny faces.
“You sure are excited for them looking at you like that, aren’t you?”
“Yes, it’s exciting!… N-no, it’s not! Don’t make me agree to such weird things! I don’t have that kind of hobby! Hurry up!”
