Claw Machine

"Rin-chan is right." Furuhashi nodded in agreement, "You need not only research as a sibling, but also as a parent."

With Furuhashi as her backer, Rin continued triumphantly: "Nii-chan is quick to apologize. After all, for something like a brother, wag its tail in front of its little sister and beg for mercy."

"that..."

Furuhashi had a cold sweat on his head, this point of view could not be agreed upon at all, unless it went against his conscience.

"Wagging your tail and begging for mercy?"

Ogata Rizu raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, analyzing: "Poor here is not sad, but wags its tail and prays for the love and care of its master..."

Ogata tilted his head and looked behind Naoki: "But Asakawa-san doesn't have a tail behind him ass?"

Bullshit, the one who has a tail behind the ass is an ape, there is no tail behind it, but there is a tail in front of it!

Naoki couldn't help but complain: "This idiom is used to describe a person's flattering attitude, not really wagging his tail!"

While talking, the carriage came slowly.

Furuhashi hastily changed the subject: "Asakawa-san, the train is coming, take the train."

....

The four of them quickly arrived at the nearest game center.

Naoki also understands 'hard work'. Rin grabs a doll and goes on a date at the same time, to get rid of her single status as quickly as possible, that's really hard on you!

"Game Center..."

Looking at the several-story building in front of him, with a huge battle poster hanging on the poster, the poster was covered in sweat and blood, and Furuhashi was a little nervous.

"Have you ever been to a skittish game before, Onee-san?" Rin asked curiously.

"That…" Furuhashi shook his head, "I really haven't been here before."

As a young woman from a large family, her tutoring was always strict, and there were many lessons at home. Furuhashi preferred to read books when she was relaxed, but she never thought of coming to a place like a game center.

"Don't worry, it's safe inside." Rin gave a thumbs up, "If there is danger, Nii-chan will definitely protect Onee-san… right, Nii-chan,?"

Furuhashi looked at Naoki, his eyes hopeful.

"Hmm…" Naoki then answered quietly, "Right."

Naoki turned to look at Ogata: "Have you ever come to the game center to play?"

"No." Ogata shook his head.

"Go over there and talk." Naoki reached out his hand and pushed the door open, "Come in."

"Thank you Asakawa-san."

"Game center is not just about game machines." Naoki took on the responsibility of being a guide, "The first floor is a puppet machine and gashapon machine, the second floor is an arcade hall, and the third floor is a photo booth, in addition, there is also a VR experience area, a board game room, a bowling alley, etc., which is actually a big entertainment center."

"Board game room?"

Ogata Rizu's eyes brightened.

"Are you interested?"

Ogata turned his face away: "…No."

A word suddenly appeared in Naoki's mind: be a thief with a guilty conscience.

...

"Ahhhh, failed again." Rin's scream was already heard, "Nii-chan, quickly get the doll."

Naoki walked towards Rin: "Which one do you want?"

"Pink fat cat wearing a scarf." Rin stretched out her hand, "The newly released limited edition is very rare. Nii-chan will catch him soon."

The quality of the dolls in the doll machine is not bad, but the various restrictions are more annoying, they can only be caught in the doll machine, and you can't buy them normally.

"Understand."

Naoki put in a coin, and wiggled the hook unhurriedly. After a while, he pressed the button and managed to pick up the doll.

Rin bent down to pick up the fallen doll and held it in her arms: "Nii-chan did a great job, I'll reward you with one later… Onee-san, Nii-chan will hit me again! "

"It looks very simple." Furuhashi raised his hand with an excited expression on his face, looking ahead, "Asakawa-san, I want to play too."

Naoki was silent: "Have you never played a claw machine before?"

"That…" Furuhashi nodded lightly and said pitifully, "I haven't played a claw machine for so long, so I'm really sorry."

"It's very easy to play." Naoki pointed at the coin slot, "Insert a coin here, you can take three times for 500 yen, then control the joystick to see the time..."

"Asakawa-san, don't worry." Furuhashi raised her pretty face and said expectantly, "I just wrote down all the gameplay, so I promise there won't be any problems."

"And I'm good at fishing." Furuhashi gave a thumbs up and smiled brightly, "My fishing skills are really good."

Fishing and catching dolls are two very different things. It's like you used a Ming Dynasty sword to kill a Qing Dynasty official. Not only is it useless, it will also bring you no luck!

Naoki quietly stepped aside: "Then catch it."

"Ricchan." Furuhashi looked at Ogata "Let's catch the doll together?"

"Un."

Ogata took out a coin and put it into the claw machine.

After a while.

"Why, why is this happening…" Furuhashi leaned forward in frustration, placed his hands on the claw machine, his eyes dark and dazed, "Obviously I was the first to catch the doll or fish, why did Ricchan throw me this far?"

Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Because you don't understand math."

After two rounds of confrontation, Furuhashi harvested zero dolls, but Ogata and took two dolls.

"The engine is dead, I just need to build a suitable mathematical model in my mind based on Newton's pendulum model, and change the output power..."

"Math is so scary." Rin grabbed Naoki's sleeve and shivered, "Did Nii-chan also use this method to catch dolls?"

Naoki was silent for a while: "I knew it firsthand."

"Asakawa-san." Furuhashi turned his head sadly, his eyes pleading for help.

Naoki walked to Furuhashi: "Don't go straight while picking up the doll, just keep shaking the joystick."

"Uh, why?"

"If you start the claw machine and check the latch, you'll see that the latch looks tight, but it's actually loose like a cake." Naoki complained, "Shaking the hooks means making one of the hooks inertial. Get extra power bonuses from…"

Furuhashi's eyes stiffened: "I understand."

"Then try again."

"Then… when did the shaking stop?"

Naoki shook his head: "This can only be based on experience and feelings."

"It's actually very simple." Rin Sakura said suddenly.

"Eh? How?"

Rin rolled her eyes, and said in a clear voice "Let Nii-chan teach you"
