"It's not that outdated, right?" After buying 50 tokens at the cashier (one dollar each), I followed behind Ai Mi and tried to catch her gaze.
Ai Mi's contemptuous gaze swept over the dance machines and other music game consoles.
"Do you want to play drum master?" I pointed at a machine in a prominent position and said, "You can test your sense of rhythm!"
"Hmph, do you think I would touch anything related to music when I finally get a day off?" Ai Mi scolded me for not being considerate, "Music is work, it's not fun at all! It's so annoying! Also, it's not a drum master, it's a tai drum master! Don't bully me because I don't know Chinese characters, I can still tell the difference between tai and tai! "
Ah, don't mind the details! I didn't know what the Japanese Taigu was, so I just casually called him Dagu Expert. Also, according to the Japanese's habit of calling long swords tachi and the eldest son of the family Taro, maybe my drum master is a translation of tachibana!
I turned my head and caught a glimpse of a basketball machine. I thought about the upcoming basketball tournament and the bet I made with Niu ShiLi, and a chill crept over my body. I put two coins into the machine and planned to practice my hand while I was busy.
Unfortunately, the rim of the machine was designed too low and the ball was smaller than normal. After the 1 minute countdown, 6 seconds had already passed and I didn't even make a single shot. I missed the first three shots.
Damn, with this level, Fu Yan Jie is definitely going to drink it! Should I drink a small cup every night at dinner to slowly get used to it?
I calmed down and finally found the feeling. I made 5 shots in a row and the countdown had already reached 47 seconds. The screen next to me showed a bright red '5'.
Ai Mi felt neglected when she saw me minding my own business and said unhappily:
"Who allowed you to play this? The first thing I hate is music, the second thing I hate is sunlight, and the third thing I hate is ball games! "
Eh? I can understand the first two, one is annoying work, and the other is full of ultraviolet rays, but what did ball games do to you?
"Hmph, ball games are the most dangerous! Don't you know how painful it is to be hit by a ball? "
I used the standard shooting posture to throw a ball, but it didn't go in, so I had to switch to the basket mode.
"It's not that easy to get hit, is it?" I said. "Can't you just hide?"
"That's easy for you to say." Amy pouted. "Unlike you, my body is very precious. Even the balls know that, so they often hit me on purpose!"
I couldn't help but laugh. "How could there be such a thing! It's obvious that you don't have athletic nerves, and you're always worried that you'll be hit by the ball. In the end, what you're afraid of has come true! "
Ai Mi was very angry when I questioned her. She waved her two small fists and emphasized:
"It's true! This was already proven by the facts! It can be called Ai Mi's third law! As long as I go where there are balls, I will definitely have intimate contact with all kinds of balls! "
I expressed my disbelief, "You're right where the ball is, how come I don't see you having intimate contact with it?"
"Hmph, that's because I'm not close enough!"
After thinking about it, as if to prove it, Ai Mi mustered up the courage to walk next to me and watch my movements closely.
There were still 22 seconds left on the countdown, 40 points, far from a good result. I heard there was an auntie in the city center who could score 256 points in a minute.
Every time the ball hit the hoop or the ball rolled off the front of the machine, Ai Mi would always squint her eyes in worry and make a dodging posture, but the ball never hit her. The only time she was in danger was also intercepted by me.
Because I caught the ball that almost hit her shoulder, Ai Mi seemed to have discovered a new continent. She also picked up a basketball from the ball-collecting area and aimed at the hoop with both hands.
"I … I also want to try! If it bounces back, manservant, you have to be responsible for catching it! "
Her hand crooked before she finished speaking. Because she didn't use enough strength, the ball fell before it touched the hoop.
Ai Mi pouted in dissatisfaction, but she might have already set a record for not being hit by a ball for so long. So she picked up another ball and threw it with all her might.
By accident, the ball bounced a few times in the hoop and actually slid into the net. The number on the scoreboard immediately increased by one digit.
"Oh yeah! I made it, I made it!! "
Ai Mi was so happy that she jumped up to celebrate. Her ponytails reflected a golden light and attracted a group of people not far away to look over, but they seemed to be focused on the outcome of a fighting game, so they quickly turned their heads back.
After she scored, Ai Mi immediately showed an arrogant expression of "ball games aren't that great".
"I really am a genius! Even if it's a rough sport, I only need to raise my hand to learn it! Okay, watch me score a few hundred points and set a new record. I'll let the people in the future look up to this genius record and cry! "
Stop bragging, there's only ten seconds left on the countdown. Even if I carry you to the hoop and you throw ball after ball, you still won't get a hundred points!
But Ai Mi didn't listen to reason when she got excited. She grabbed a ball and threw it without even looking. It missed the hoop and almost hit the cashier behind the counter.
I quickly ran over to catch the ball and apologized to the cashier.
The cashier politely nodded to me and secretly asked me: "What a cute child, is she mixed-race?"
Yes, she's mixed-race, but whether or not she's cute depends on the person. I was worried that Ai Mi would be in danger alone in front of the basketball machine, so I nodded and ran back.
As if she only noticed my appearance now, the cashier unconsciously looked at the two safety posters on the wall.
The first one was "Beware of pickpockets" and the second one was "Child trafficking is illegal".
Do I look like a human trafficker! Do you think I want to kidnap Ai Mi, a mixed-race child, and ask her parents for ransom! If it was another dimension, maybe I would do that, but in this dimension, I wouldn't kidnap my sister and ask her mother for ransom!
When I returned with the ball, Ai Mi was playing happily in front of the basketball machine as if she didn't even notice that I left. She threw five or six balls in a row, but none of them entered the hoop. However, three of them bounced back.
I hurriedly threw the basketball in my arms and let it hit another ball, causing it to change direction.
Then, I quickly caught a ball that was flying towards Ai Mi's nose.
In such a chaotic situation, Ai Mi actually threw another ball. I was distracted to look at the trajectory of the ball, and the last ball of the 'Three Swordsmen' that bounced back did not disappoint me. It scraped against the metal barrier, then heavily hit Ai Mi's forehead.
"Wu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!" The blonde miss crouched on the ground while holding her head and tears came out from the corners of her eyes.
"You idiot!" Ai Mi screamed at me, "You're my exclusive manservant, why do you care if the ball hits someone else! It has nothing to do with you even if they get smashed to death, you just have to protect me! You should be punished for not being able to protect me! "
She could hear Ai Mi getting angry at me, but she couldn't hear clearly. The cashier lady picked up the phone on the table worriedly, maybe she was hesitating on whether or not to call the police.
What, are you still suspecting that Ai Mi was kidnapped by me? Do you know that this cute mixed-race child just said that I don't care even if you get smashed to death by a basketball! If I knew you didn't appreciate my kindness, I wouldn't have saved that ball!
After squatting on the ground in pain for a while, Ai Mi stopped playing basketball, but she wanted me to ask how much the ball that hit her was worth.
"Eh? Do you want to take it home as a souvenir? "
I asked strangely.
"Who wants this kind of shameful souvenir!" Ai Mi angrily stomped her feet, "I'm going to take this criminal back and execute him! How dare he hit my head, I'm going to use a temperature of 500 million degrees to kill it!! "
Hey, the core of the sun is only 15 million degrees, you'll have to leave the Milky Way to find a temperature of 500 million degrees! NASA, who has been struggling with the lack of funding, would also be crying if they had to fly to space just to destroy a basketball!
I saw Ai Mi step on the ball that hit her. She looked like she wouldn't be able to release her anger if she didn't kill it. She even wanted to step on it with her entire body, but she almost lost her balance and fell. Fortunately, I caught her from the side.
"Little friend …" The cashier lady walked over and dissuaded, "Can you please not step on the basketball?"
Ai Mi glared at her fiercely. It was probably because of the cashier that she was hit by the ball, so she was still angry. Not only did she want to step on the ball, but she also wanted to prostrate herself to let her step on the cashier to appease her.
In order to prevent the conflict from escalating, I picked up the basketball from under Ai Mi's feet and twirled it around my finger while asking the cashier:
"Sorry, we broke this ball, let us buy it. How much do we have to pay?"
The cashier looked at the ball in my hand with a puzzled expression, "This … is a bit dirty, but it's not broken, right?"
I shrugged, took out a bunch of keys from my pocket and held it tightly between my fingers. This kind of 'simple brass knuckles' is a common tactic used by hooligans when they fight.
With a bit of luck, I poked a hole in the shoddy basketball with the keys and the plastic gas inside instantly leaked out.
I raised the dead starfish-like remains of the basketball in front of the cashier, raised one of my eyebrows and asked:
"Now I know how much it costs, right?"
