บท 126: Arcade

They arrived at the arcade, even though it was already night, there were many people who were still playing here.

"Th-this is an arcade!!" Tsugumi and Chitoge said at the same time.

The light was very bright and there were many strange sounds coming from the inside and it looked very fun inside.

"Let's go, I'll treat you," they entered the arcade and were greeted by many game machines in front of them.

"WHOAAA!!" It was both Chitoge and Tsugumi first time to come to this kind of place. It was kind of overwhelming for them but they couldn't wait to play.

They started with a car racing game machine. Watching him drive his car made them want to drive a car.

"3,2,1.."

"GO!!"

Chitoge and Tsugumi pushed the accelerator pedal. They were racing to each other and looked very happy playing the game.

"Tsugumi!! I won't lose!!"

"It's too early to beat me, Ojou!!"

Though, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded. He saw them keep crashing into another car until both of them lost at the same time. He had never seen someone very suck at playing a game.

They looked very vexed and tried their revenge on another game.

They played every game in this arcade from shooting games, fighting games, etc.

Both Chitoge and Tsugumi were having fun and it made him glad to take them here.

They were walking around the arcade and suddenly Tsugumi shouted.

"Aaah!!" Tsugumi looked quite surprised with the crane game in front of her.

"What?" Chitoge and Yuuki said at the same time.

"Isn't this the doll you brought me a few days ago," Tsugumi said while looking at the Shiba Inu doll in the crane game.

Yuuki nodded, it looked very identical to the doll he had given her a few days ago, though, his doll was more perfect since he created it himself with magic.

"Wha?" Chitoge was stunned that she didn't expect Tsugumi to receive a doll from him.

"Did you still keep it?" Yuuki asked.

Tsugumi blushed, "Ye-yeah," she didn't want to tell him that she kept hugging that doll when she was sleeping. She needed to change the conversation and noticed Chitoge looked quite gloomy.

"Ojou, what's wrong?" Tsugumi was worried.

"No-nothing!!" Chitoge was flustered.

Yuuki looked at Chitoge and looked at the crane game besides him. He shrugged and put a coin inside the game.

Tsugumi and Chitoge noticed that Yuuki had gone. They were quite puzzled where he went until they saw him walking toward him.

"Where did you go?" Tsugumi asked.

Yuuki didn't say anything and said, "Chitoge, open your hands."

Chitoge looked puzzled but still followed him. She opened her hands and suddenly he placed something on his hands.

"This is?" Chitoge was stunned, "WHY IS IT GORILLA!!!" She had heard Tsugumi had given a Shiba Inu but she received a gorilla? She was pissed and looked at him with an angry expression, even though she liked him but she still could be pissed right?

"Wa-wait!! Look!! This gorilla also has a ribbon-like you!! If you look closely, it looks very cute!!" Yuuki was trying to calm her down. He knew that Chitoge's punch at least had the same power as Hiratsuka or stronger.

---

"ACHOOO!!" Hiratsuka suddenly sneezed, she wiped her nose and said, "I wonder if Yuuki was talking about me, if he dares to say something bad about me, I'll have to punish him later."

---

"Cu-cute??" Chitoge was blushing.

Yuuki thought it was his chance, "Yeah, it's very cute, that's why I gave it to you."

Chitoge couldn't be in a misunderstanding. She thought he was saying she was cute. She looked at the gorilla doll closely and nodded. It wasn't that bad if she observed it more.

"We-well, I'll receive it gratefully," Chitoge said while looking away. She was embarrassed but also happy at the same time.

Tsugumi who was looking at their interaction felt very strange, 'Isn't Ojou boyfriend is Raku?' She shook her head and tried to think about it anymore. She didn't want to believe her Ojou was in love with her boyfriend's brother.

They continued to play until they were called by Claude.

[OJOU!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!] Claude's voice was desperate.

[I'm playing in an arcade with Yuuki and Tsugumi.] Chitoge answered.

[The first young master of Shuuei?] Claude felt confused but didn't think much, [Anyway, you need to go home fast!! You have passed your curfew!!]

They talked for a while until Chitoge closed her phone. She sighed, "I need to go home."

Yuuki nodded, "Sure, I'll deliver you back, you'll come too right, Tsugumi?"

Tsugumi nodded, "Yeah, I'll sleep in Ojou's house," she needed to observe them for a bit.

They entered the car and drove back to Chitoge's house. It was his first time to come here.

Yuuki was quite curious about her house and drove his car faster.

---

They arrived at her house and it was a mansion.

Yuuki shook his head. He didn't really feel comfortable with a mansion. It was too big for him and his wives. It was fine if he had 20 wives or something but if he was only 2 or 3 then the smaller house was better.

"Thank you for delivering us," Chitoge said.

Yuuki nodded, "Sure, I don't mind, let's play again sometimes."

Chitoge nodded happily and went inside to her house.

Tsugumi who saw their interaction felt strange. She needed to observe them more before she made her judgment. She only hoped it wouldn't go in the direction she had thought in her mind.

---

Yuuki wanted to go home until he received a phone call from Yaeko. He felt strange but received her call.

"Yaeko, what's wrong?" Yuuki asked.

"Yuuki!! Heheeheeh!!!" Yuuki heard her laughing weirdly.

"Yaeko, you're drunk!!!"

"No!! I'm not drunk!!!"

Yuuki could hear someone was there. He felt relieved that it was a woman since he didn't have to worry that she was being attacked by someone again.

"Stay there, I'll pick you up," Yuuki said.

"Yeaaahh!! I'll wait for you!!" Yaeko answered.

Yuuki shook his head. He had never thought she would be drunk like that probably stressed about her work or something. He shook is head and changed the route to pick her up.
