When Kurumu and I entered the arcade there was a group around Bonnie he's giving out candies to the kids. Asuna, Sakamoto, and Shouko were also trying to get candy from him.
This place having a big arcade is an understatement. There are rolls of fighting, dancing, driving, shooters, and claw games ironic really. It's bigger than any of the arcades I went to in my previous life that I can remember. Kurumu didn't look very happy I think she thought that we would try to join them when we found the others. I don't want to take her to Bonnie she might freeze up or cry. I don't blame her though if he gets any closer to me I might try to blow him up. He's not Baby so I don't think he can kidnap them in such a short amount of time. Might as well get the passes first.
"Let's get the passes first they seem a bit busy." (Seth)
"Yeah!" (Kurumu)
She immediately cheered up after I said that. Seriously how much do you not want to get near them? We had a walk through a few rolls of video games to find the prize counter.
Two people were managing the counter a man and a woman. They both wore a purplish-black tuxedo-like uniform and wore a mask of one of the animatronics. The man was wearing a Freddy mask while the woman wore a Chica mask. They probably hide their face so if they do get caught they won't be able to get identified. He has medium-sized brown hair while she has long blond hair but If they get away before they're caught they'll dye and cut their hair. Did they put so much money into this arcade so they could find kids that aren't in a group to kill them?
"Excuse me... My name's Yuuki Seth and I'm here for my birthday passes?" (Seth) I said in a shy tone.
The man wasn't that thrilled to see us I wonder why? While the woman acted somewhat normal and did her job.
"Yeah here you go they'll only work today so you won't be able to bring it back another day and try to use it. The time will start after you play your first game. Also, it does not collect tickets this is only used to have fun." (CMW) (CMW = Chica Masked Woman)
"Thank you I understand." (Seth)
I decided to walk back where we were to meet up with our "friends" while having a little chat with Kurumu.
"Let's meet up with the others before we start the time. If they're still trying to get candy do you wanna keep our distance and watch until they're done?" (Seth)
"Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth." (Kurumu)
"So why don't you like the animatronics?" (Seth)
"I could ask you the same thing. Isn't it your first time coming here?" (Kurumu)
"Fair enough and it is." (Seth)
"See! Tell me why you don't like them first and I'll tell you why I don't!" (Kurumu)
"They just have a weird air around them." (Seth)
"True they smell bad." (Kurumu) She whispered.
"What?" (Seth)
"Oh, it's nothing. Come on we shouldn't keep them waiting." (Kurumu) She said cheerfully as she grabbed my wrist and started pulling me to where we were before.
'True they smell bad.' What did she mean by that? Does she mean dried blood? If I remember correctly from animes I've watched my past life it smells like iron. But why can't I smell it? My senses increased when I fused with the bloodlines but not a lot is it because I don't have enough experience to tell what it is? Well, whatever the reason is when I become stronger and figure out the right way to use Ki I'm just going to blow this place up.
When we arrive back at the entrance of the arcade we found the rest of the group waiting by the entrance wall. I did tell them to meet me by the entrance when they left. I guess them getting free candy tempted them too much.
"Hey there you guys are I was looking for you guys." (Seth)
"Sorry about that Bonnie was giving out candy and I couldn't help myself hehe." (Asuna)
Sakamoto was looking sheepishly embarrassed while Shouko was shaking her head up and down well chewing on a piece of candy. She didn't bring her whiteboard or marker because she's afraid she'll lose it if she puts them down so she gave it to her grandma. She lost one a few months ago and her mother got annoyed.
"We'll all right I got some great news. We got two birthday passes they'll let us play any game we want for an hour but we can't collect tickets and they're only work for today." (Seth)
"Then we don't have much time left this place closes in 3 hours." (Sakamoto)
"Good!" (Kurumu)
"What do you want to play first?" (Asuna)
"...Is there a game we can all play together?" (Seth)
"Well, there's laser tag at the back of the arcade." (Asuna)
"No." (Kurumu/Seth)
"That's fine we don't have enough players we can play a sit-down shoot'em together called Alien Bloxs." (Asuna)
"Alien Bloxs?" (Seth)
"You shoot purple-colored alien rectangular boxes that are heading to your gold boxes. Each person has three bases AKA boxes one base can take three hits before it turns purple if it does turn purple you've lost the base. If you lose all three of them you lose the game." (Asuna)
"That seems like a fun first game. Any objections?" (Seth)
After no one spoke up Asuna took charge.
"Haha follow me I'll lead you to the game." (Asuna) We followed her as I decided to strike up a conversation.
"Hey Yuuki-San Why-" (Seth)
"If you want her to calling you by your first name you're gonna have to start calling her by her first name first." (Sakamoto)
"Don't tell him that! He might do it! (Asuna)
"Don't worry I'm not going to call you by your first name yet. You don't seem very comfortable with it." (Seth)
"..Thank you by the way what were you gonna ask?" (Asuna)
"Oh, right I wanted to know how many times you've been here? You seem to know your way around." (Seth)
"Oh, um 4 or 5 times." (Asuna) She said nervously.
"Oh, that's cool that's why you seem so relaxed here." (Seth)
She was lying but I'm not going to point it out she'll be a good friend to have in the future. Shouko dropped her smile when she said it while Sakamoto didn't show a reaction. I wonder what she's not willing to share with me I'm sure it'll come to light soon enough.
