Round 4. English version.

Japan, Tokyo, January 6th. 1999.

Daniel's driver told him when they arrived at the Maru Miye arcade. They got out and checked out the building. „I don't think it's safe, sir! I think we should go home." Daniel just smile. „Don't worry. I'm home." Stop worrying me. This is my home." Said Daniel, while he was taking out the Flyers and the invitations and putting them in his bag. „ All right, sir! When should I come back?" „ Six hours. and try not to get drunk until then, okay?" „I understand, sir! Have fun." The driver bowed and left. Daniel went in carrying a bag, where he was already struck by the sight and sound of machines that pleased him.

He flew back to the good old days for 30 seconds, when he threw his money into the arcade machnies. But he got his act together quickly. It's time to do the job. He looked through the people who were there with his eyes. Yaguchi isn't here yet, but waiting never hurt anyone. He took change for a thousand yen and went to the buffet to buy a half-liter ice tea. He drank slowly and watched the games. He was way behind on the games a little, and he was thrilled to see other people playing. Ten minutes later, his patience paid off. Yaguchi has arrived. It looked a little different than in the photo. Apparently, he lost weight and could barely sleep. But he feel his inner fire from afar. It was time to take action. Daniel went to Yaguchi. „ Execuse me. I'm new here, but your reputation has already reached me. Beast-fingered yaguchi, am I right?" Ask with a solid smile. Yaguchi look him. „ It depends who's asking. If he's another idiot who can't lose or play, then I'm not." „ I can play and I can lose, even if you have to fight for the last part. How about a tekken 3 match? I bet 2000 yen." yaguchi stoped, for one reason. His inner self, guile, has spoken. „ I don't know, but this bet stinks." When yaguchi heard the big money, he didn't really care what his inner advisor said. He shook his hand and they sat in front of a free machine. Dan choose Jin Kazama while Yaguchi select Bryan. In the first round, Yaguchi won, but then he felt that Guile said. It was being set up all along. His opponent kept trying to pull his calculations and he was already avoiding or defending the first punch or kick. In the second round, jin came forward with a three-way combo followed by an axe kick. From then on, it was out of control for Yaguchi's hand, and until the third round he tried to do anything, it went backwards. It was clear that Daniel won, when he won the third round with a ten combo, true with one percent healt. „ Good game. you deserved your tittle." Said Daniel, with real respect in his voice. „ Thanks. You are an excellent jin player. Here is your money, you won with fair fight." Yaguchi bowed and handed over the money. But that's not what the man wanted. „You know what? If you help me, you can keep it and get my money too. I bet you're saving up for a big cause. Others would have immediately withdrawn from such a big bet." Yaguchi was insecure. Then dan slapped his head. „Oh, where are my manners? I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Michael Fortesque." Said and held out his hand. Yaguchi took his money and shook his hand agin. „Let's go get some coffee. My treat."

While they were having coffee, they had a chat. Mostly games, like two gamer guys like to talk. Finally, Daniel came to the subject. „if we're already here, I'd like ask for something." What would it be?" Ask Yaguchi with curiosity. „I will be holding a Tekken 3 tournament in next Saturday. I would like to ask you to help me select the candidates." „ Of course, but what were you thinking about selecting candicates?" It's very simple. Here are the invitations, and anyone you see as a good player, you hand one over. In these, there is a special code that guarantees the invitation. At the end of Dan's sentence, he took things out of his bag. He also handed one of the invitation letters to Yaguchi. „You already proved yourself." Said Daniel. „thank you. Let's get started!" shout yaguchi and drank the rest of his coffee. Apparently his childish self has returned. They put up a poster, which was basically an advertisement for potential tournament participants. This did the trick, and within half an hour, there was a small line in front of the two of them. And they suffered the negative side, because in the first hour, they were got button mashers, spamming one attack type players. On top of that, they didn't exactly tolerate rejection, but after two big fights, they didn't have the guts to bounce, because Daniel shut them all down. There were, however, a little rays of hope. One player, for example, played really well with Hwoarang, while another played dangerously well with Kuma and kept playing to punish mistakes. Two of them got the invite with three questions about the name, main character in the game, and the disguise. The last question to Yaguchi was a little strange. When he asked Daniel about it, he just said it was a brainstorm. Daniel found three men worthy of the tournament. In the second and Third hours, the number of good candidates began to multiply. Among them, there was someone who was really unsympathetic. It was a short, stocky man who played against Yaguchi and proved to be a really heavy nut to crack. He was always very well protected, and he could only be caught making mistakes once or twice. That's how he won, and when he filled out the card and received the invitation letter, he spoke in a rather cavalier voice. „ Notice this, losers! I'm gonna be the champion of this puny tournament. And on the Cup will be my name, Iwato Miyauki, aka Raptor! In the meantime, I'm gonna get you some advice. Practice it, because if we come across each other there's no mercy in that." He addressed the call to Yaguchi Great, he's caught another bully. There are so many of them since they started collecting participants for this competition and just keep coming.

Finally, with so many difficult matches, two hours later in real life, each invitation found its owner. In addition, Hidaka and Felicia were among them, but the Mizonokuchi Force leader gave it to another player who showed great Heihachi combos, whereas they had already taken the ticket. Daniel and Yaguchi was very hungry after that. They enter a fast food restaurant where they ordered a big pizza. While waiting for the order, they shared their experiences with the selection of candicates. Then another question came up in Yaguchi. „ You said earlier that you are running a 64-person tournament. but, if I counted correctly, only 63 letters found a host, including myself. Would you be the last candidate?" Nope. I'm the host. Let's say if I win, do you think I'd be in any kind of satisfy?" „ Good point. Then who is it?" Daniel hesitated to tell the truth. However, he was of the opinion that he would not tell the joke. Then where would it be exciting? He's only partially telling the truth. „ A friend of mine. I met her recently. The most beautiful of all is that he uses a rather unusual character." „Who?" Yaguchi asked quickly. For him, playing with Mokujin among the applicants was bizarre. In order to use the character in a competitive manner, you need to know the combo of all characters in your sleep. „Gun Jack." Then Yaguchi almost spat out his tea. That character is one, if not the slowest fighter in the game. Even the pros are far from it. At that point, all he could think of was someone who loved the slow but strong characters: Akira Oono. But it can't be, right? She's in America. Should he keep asking me about this candidate? While he were thinking about it, the pizza they asked has arrived. Until the food ran out, not a single word had left their mouths. At the time of payment, Daniel took out a thousand yen, and he said to the waitress: " Don't count 100 as change, because that's the tip.". When they left, Daniel's limo came in. „ I have to go. thanks again for your help, and here's the money you made from your help." Said Daniel, and he put 2000 yen in his pocket. Before Yaguchi said, Daniel react quickly." You earned it. Just answer me one question. Why are you collect so much money?" „ There's a girl, that I love, but to marry her, I need a lot of money. It's not her, make no mistake, it's his parents..." „Snobby bastards." Daniel finished yaguchi's sentence. „ Familiar feelings. I also belong to that „mans.", but I hate them from the bottom of my heart." „ It isn't true. You have spirit and humanity, just like that girl." Daniel smiled this sentence. His driver honked, indicating it was time to go. The two men held hands with each other, before left.

Yaguchi went back to his moped and unlocked the lock. It was time to go home. However, Daniel's sentence and acts has stirred his imagination again. „How did he make such an excellent addition my sentences? Can you read his mind?" Thinking about that before parking in his home courtyard.
