Chapter 268 Arcade
Yutaka who was one of the few guys who had stayed put, let out a mischievous chuckle upon seeing Hiro's distressful state, "Hahahah... Seems like they're forgetting that they'd need tickets to play"
"Well let's leave them be" mumbled Hiro as he turned towards other guys who had stayed behind, "Then does anybody have any suggestions on where we should go first?"
Among those few guys who had stayed behind, one was Takeshi Ono.
Compared to other guys of their group, he was really standing out because of his massive physique. Dressed in dark green coloured varsity jacket, white t-shirt and jeans, he really seemed like a bouncer.
"Should we try that punching machine?" Takeshi suggested.
Takeshi had remained silent the whole time. And it was the first time, he had spoken since their arrival.
Having no better alternatives, everybody nodded their head in agreement.
"That works with me"
"I'm fine with the suggestion as well"
Since nobody objected to Takeshi's suggestion, they then headed towards the direction of the punching machine.
Already a lot of people were gathered around the punching machine. While one of the guy was preparing to launch his fist, some guys gathered around him were shouting frantically, wearing smiles on their faces.
"Yeah 879 baby!!" Shouted one of the boy in foreign language.
The kids gathered around the punching machine, broke into excited cheers as they hooted for the guy who was had just finished hitting the punching bag.
Their loud excited cheers managed to grab the attention of Hiro and his teammates as well.
"That guy looks tough" Hiro commented in awe upon seeing the score displayed in the screen.
"Yeah, it's the highest score" Yutaka who was standing right beside Hiro, nodded his head in agreement.
"Do you think you can beat that score?" Hiro asked while turning his gaze towards Takeshi.
Faced with Hiro's question, Takeshi replied in a humble tone, "Well I can try"
After some moment, as the group gathered finished their turns, Takeshi stepped infront.
Seeing the big guy walking towards the machine, a lot of people gave him astonishing gazes, awed by Takeshi's massive physique.
"Woah!! Look at him"
"He's damn huge!!"
Paying no heed to the onlookers who were intently staring at him and gossiping about him, Takeshi began to stretch his arms, preparing to hit.
Witnessing Takeshi's actions, crowd gathered around Takeshi started growing even more curious. Everybody wanted to witness the might of this titan of a man.
Amidst the rising curiosity in the eyes of spectators, Takeshi finally took his stance as he prepared to swing his fist.
Bang!!
At once a loud bang sound resounded as Takeshi fiercely swung his fist at the punching machine.
Receiving Takeshi's strike, the whole punching machine shuddered while the red number displayed on the screen of the machine continued to rise.
As the number continued to rise, most eyes which were staring at Takeshi displayed a look of shock while most faces turned completely pale with shock.
And as time passed those eyes filled with shock slowly turned anxious with anticipation.
'Will he beat the high score?'
'What score will he get?'
Such thoughts appeared in the heads of most of the onlookers upon seeing the changing number on the screen which kept on rising.
Slowly the number crossed the 900 mark with ease. Still it didn't seem like it was going to stop any moment soon. It was still rising rapidly.
Finally after short while, the numbers stopped rising.
"989...." One of the onlooker blurted subconsciously while looking at the screen.
At once as the number finally stopped, Yutaka and the rest erupted hysterically as they began to shout enthusiastically.
"Woooooooooaaaaaahhhh!!!"
"A new high score"
Even Hiro couldn't help but admire Takeshi's strength. Not only was his physique like that of a bear, even his strength was like that of a bear.
After spending some time at the punching machine, Hiro and the gang began to wander through aisle after aisles, trying every single game within their sight, enjoying themselves to the fullest.
While they continued to navigate through the arcade, time continued to pass. However Shun and the rest who had separated from their earlier were nowhere to be seen.
Even so nobody paid any attention to them and continued to enjoy themselves.
Just like that while skimming through different games in the arcade, they arrived at a spot where a lot of people were gathered.
The loud sounds of cheers and laughter coming from the crowd immediately caught their attention.
Thus at once all of them halted their movement. Since the whole area was surrounded by people and they were a little far from the place, they couldn't understand the reason behind the commotion taking place infront of them.
"What's happening over there?" Hiro questioned while pointing at the direction where crowds of people were gathered.
"May be something interesting is happening over there" Yutaka spoke excitedly.
"Wait isn't that Honda?" Takeshi spoke while pointing at one of the person.
Just as Takeshi said so, all of them turned to look at the direction pointed by his finger.
"Not only Honda but look Denji's over there as well" Yutaka replied while sweeping his gaze around the crowd.
As they continued to observe, they found many of their teammates mixed in the crowd.
"Seems like everybody's gathered here." Hiro spoke nonchalantly after finding most of his teammates mixed in the crowd, "Shall we go check out what's happening over there?"
As he said so, all of his teammates gathered around him nodded their head in agreement. They then collectively walked towards the direction where the lively crowd was gathered.
Honda who wasn't aware of his teammates arrival was worriedly looking infront as if something was troubling him.
"Honda" as Takeshi called out for Honda while putting his hands atop Honda's shoulder, Honda's heart skipped a beat as he let out a horrified scream, "Ahhhh!!"
Honda was startled and thus his body reacted subconsciously and tried to flee from Takeshi's reach.
