Looking at the disheartened Tanaka Masao, Eriri was quite pleased, her hands on her hips, looking very arrogant.
"How about it? Have you seen how amazing I am? Ah haha~"
It was a classic victory screen, with the winner laughing heartily and the loser looking dejected.
Tanaka Masao pouted and complained, "Yours was pure luck, you just happened to press the finishing move."
"Ah? Luck?" Eriri was quite proud.
"What luck? That was all my skill, alright? You can use it too, I'm not stopping you."
Although the finishing move was indeed pressed by chance, it didn't stop Eriri from being happy.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of this unintentional action that she was even happier.
"I'm not convinced, I request another round."
Tanaka Masao issued a challenge.
Eriri covered her face with her left hand and supported her elbow with her right, striking a classic JOJO pose.
"I accept your challenge."
The second round began!
This time, the two no longer cautiously probed each other or only used normal punches and kicks as in the previous round.
They started trying to use combos.
"Ah, I used a Hadouken! Look at my Hadouken, Hadouken!"
"That's so cheap, teach me!"
"What is this? A small finishing combo? So cool!"
"How did you pull off that finishing move just now?"
"I'm not sure, was it like this? No, like this?"
"Let me try too, it's not working."
After searching for combo guides and trying them out in turns, both of them...
Tanaka Masao was the first to unleash a finishing move, and less than a minute later, Eriri also successfully unleashed a finishing move.
"Success!" x2
They cheered simultaneously and couldn't help but high-five.
At this moment, they had forgotten about the match, only happy that both of them could unleash their finishing moves.
After being excited for a while, Eriri looked at Tanaka Masao's smiling face and finally came back to her senses.
She immediately put away her smile and crossed her arms.
"It's just a finishing move, nothing special.
Alright, I've completely mastered this game. Let's play something else."
"Okay."
Tanaka Masao also got up, wanting to try other games.
······
The two went to the racing area next door.
The huge seats could simulate a realistic driving experience, and there was no need to worry about accidents due to operational errors, making it a favorite for road killers.
Eriri sat down in the seat, gripped the steering wheel, and turned it a few times to get a feel for it.
"Are you ready? I can't wait for an exhilarating race."
Tanaka Masao stretched his wrists and twisted his neck.
"Alright, let me show you the skill of a ten-year veteran driver."
He wasn't lying; in his previous life, he had indeed been a veteran driver with a license for nearly ten years.
[3, 2, 1, START!]
As the countdown on the screen ended, Eriri immediately floored the accelerator.
"Charge!"
The game seat provided a very realistic experience, and Eriri instantly felt a strong push against her back.
Her entire being instantly became hot-blooded.
On the other hand, Tanaka Masao, just like in real driving, slowly pressed the accelerator.
Once the car speed reached around sixty, he stopped pressing the accelerator and maintained that speed.
This speed would be considered normal in reality.
But in a racing game, it was a snail's pace.
As Tanaka Masao was concentrating on driving, Eriri's scream suddenly came from beside him.
"Ah~ Ah~"
It turned out that Eriri's car was going too fast and she couldn't control it at all when turning. In a panic, she violently turned the steering wheel.
If this were in reality, she would most likely be gone.
But thankfully, this was just a game, and Eriri herself was fine.
However, the realistic game seat provided a strong shaking sensation.
Making Eriri extremely uncomfortable.
Tanaka Masao merely glanced at Eriri and mocked her.
"Who told you to drive so fast? You got into an accident, didn't you?"
After speaking, he refocused his attention on the screen; one couldn't be distracted while driving.
The seat finally calmed down, and Eriri, who had just let out a sigh of relief, retorted upon hearing him.
"I don't want to be told that by someone who limits their speed in a racing game, hmph, coward."
Although she called Tanaka Masao a coward, Eriri's body was very honest and she no longer floored the accelerator.
Tanaka Masao arrived at the first turn.
He released the accelerator, lightly tapped the brake, and passed through very smoothly.
As for drifting, where did it go?
Drifting is too dangerous, even in a game.
Didn't he hear Eriri's screams next door?
The camera cut to Eriri next to him.
Even though she had slowed down, Eriri's car was still very fast.
This caused her car to accidentally scrape against the walls and guardrails on the edges when turning.
Eriri's seat was like a rocking car, constantly shaking back and forth.
And she herself was constantly exclaiming amidst such bumps.
Just as Eriri was continuously colliding, the slowly moving Tanaka Masao caught up with zero errors.
Eriri, who had just adjusted her car, felt greatly humiliated seeing that slow car actually overtake her.
Her temper immediately flared up, and she aimed at the rear of the car in front, flooring the accelerator.
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
With a loud "bang~", the two cars on the screen crashed heavily into each other.
Tanaka Masao, who was originally concentrating on driving, felt his seat shake violently. Caught off guard, he instinctively blurted out a national expletive.
"Holy crap."
Steadying himself, he turned to glare at Eriri.
"Eriri, why did you hit me?"
Eriri, who was prepared, was not greatly affected.
Facing Tanaka Masao's accusation, she showed no guilt, but rather some smugness.
"A little bump while driving is normal, and if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for driving too slowly and blocking my way."
"You fellow!"
Looking at the arrogant Eriri, Tanaka Masao's temper immediately flared up.
"Then let me show you what I can do."
Tanaka Masao pressed the accelerator and quickly pulled up alongside Eriri's car.
Seeing Tanaka Masao's car suddenly come over, Eriri had a bad feeling.
"What are you doing? Don't come over!"
She was about to stomp on the accelerator to speed away, but it was too late.
Tanaka Masao's car slammed into Eriri's car.
The violent collision sent Eriri's car, which was originally driving in the center of the road, directly crashing into the wall beside it.
Eriri's car continuously scraped against the wall, emitting a piercing sound.
In reality, Eriri's seat gave her an equivalent feedback.
The shaking and bumping caused by the collision of the racing car almost made her fall out of the chair, and she could only grip the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
"What are you doing, you fellow? You're really pissing me off, ah! Ah! Ah!"
