Kanako dragged me over to a claw machine and pointed at one of the toys.
"Get that for me."
"Huh, why me, though."
"Just do it!"
I scanned my card, and the machine lit up.
I wasn't exactly a professional at claw machines, so I doubted that I'd be able to get the toy she wanted. The machines were usually rigged anyways. It would likely take a few attempts before the machine would even properly grab the toy. However, she seemed to be eagerly watching the claw as I controlled it around.
Well, I guess I'll try.
I positioned the claw as well as I could and pressed the button to drop it. It made its descent down to the pile of goodies before seemingly closing its jaws and picking up one of the toys. However, as soon as it lifted the toy up, there was a bit of a jolt, and it dropped it back into the pile.
She appeared to be disappointed.
"I'm not good at these," I said.
Suddenly, she scanned her card, and the machine lit up once again.
"Watch and learn," she exclaimed.
