High Score Girl 1999 (Magyar és English)

Round 9. English version.

Shortly after the end of the tournament, Yaguchi was escorted to a study by the Mysterious Girl. Daniel arrived shortly after.

„It was a nice match, but it doesn't matter now. Would I rather ask you a question?" Daniel said with a smile on his face, and sit down his chair and did not wait for a reaction, he continued. „ There was a woman in the tournament that you care about someone in your life, and I'm not thinking about Hidaka before you say that. can you guess who it was?" Yaguchi didn't think much. He had an idea who it was. She supported him the whole time and gave her a hug. In fact... she didn't say a word. „You are... Akira Oono?" Pointed at Mystery Girl who just looked at him without blinking. Then reached for the mask release cord with her hand. One pull was enough to get it to the ground. Yaguchi burst into tears and hid with Akira Oono. She was crying with him from the emotion. Not a single word fell between them for a long time, until they emerged from the embrace. Daniel gave them a handkerchief. „What a great reunion." said Daniel. „ Thank you very much for seeing Oono again. I really can't be grateful to you now. Just a question how do you know about me?" Ask Yaguchi. „It's very simple. I'm Akira's appointed husband. She told me everything... or showed me, but the results are the same." He replied, and sat back in his chair with the same smile as when he first met him. Then yaguchi fell to his knees in front of Daniel. „I'll give anything to be with Oono again. Just name any price and I'll pay. I have a lot of money in savings..." Oono grabbed him in the neck and lifted him up. „Thank you, Akira. I thought he was gonna do this for hours." Daniel sighted after that and continued. „Listen to me, my friend. I have no intention of tearing you two apart because you're a lovely couple. Actually, if it were up to me, I'd file for divorce and get the hell out of here. It's just that there are other problems." The smile from Daniel's face was gone and he looked at them factually. „What is it?" Yaguchi asked, as he hid with her as if he would lose her at any moment if he let her go. " My parents. That includes Oono's parents of course." Daniel replied and, opening the window, lit a cigarette. „ I thought so. The way you said it when we first met." Yes. Unfortunately, your reunion was the easiest, and the hard part is still to come. We need to get the money that we need for the divorce, which costs million US dollar. If you're good at math, five million per family. This is why there is no divorce among the bourgeois." Yaguchi was shocked. Along with the tournament, he probably only collected two and a half or three million yen. He blessed Daniel not to be the one to pay. „But... wouldn't it be easier if you paid for it and I paid you back in installments? I can do it, and I'll always give you an appointment." „You're a nice guy, but we can move around pretty tight space. If I withdraw a large money on my bank account, my parents will suspect that I'm up to something." He replied. „What time are you referring to?" One year in the best case. During that time we need to collect the amount of dollars that is enough for a divorce. Of course, there is no guarantee that parents will accept and start knocking our heads with a mace, but there is nothing they can do about divorce." That's when Yaguchi realized that this time was short. If the money is collected at the current pace, it will not be enough to get the right amount. „Then how do we do, when we have almost 1 percent of succes?" „Yaguchi. Please, stay calm." „But..." Yaguchi didn't even finish that sentence because Oono put a little elbow between his ribs. Then, she's pointed to Daniel, clearly telling him: Stop and listen to him. „Thank you, Akira. Just one question. Has Yaguchi always been like this?" She just nodded before the named began a violent protest. Oono kissed his mouth. It's not how she planned his first kiss, but she didn't care that Daniel was watching. She just wanted his partner to shut up. It worked because Yaguchi didn't speak for a long time after the kiss. „It was very effective." Laughed Daniel, then continue. „ Back to the bottom line, is the only solution left for us. Video game Tournaments. The bourgeois shithole layer is far from this genre because it considers it beneath its rank entertainment. Of course, cheating and stabbing each others back is okay, but that's irrelevant for this case. The point is, it's the easiest way to get money without being noticed. „ That's great." Said enthusiastically yaguchi, then Oono looked him with curiosity. „In February 14th, I will have a tournament, that will give me 1.5 million yen if I win." „They're a bunch of liars." daniel replied fast, pouring himself whiskey, and offering it to the two of them. He waited for our answer, and then he put the bottle down. „It's a fake, and if you're not in it, you get thrown out and you lose your entry fee. If you're going to do it, it's good to win back the entrance fee, so back to square one. I was thinking real tournaments, which is not staged." „Do you have any ideas?" Asked Yaguchi, with curiosity. „That's a good question. the thing is, we just got here in Japan, so we don't have any information about the video game here at the moment." Yaguchi thought and then spoke. „This month's issue of Japan Video Game Championship will be released tomorrow. They include what tournaments will be held in the near future." „That's a great idea."

Then someone knocked. „Come in. Look, what we've got here. A blonde video game angel." Said Daniel, when they see, who's coming. Hidaka. Daniel exchanged his gloomy face for a smile again. Oono emerged from his embrace and stepped in front of her, looking at her a little disapprovingly. „ What? I stick to my promise. I didn't steal Yaguchi from you. We treat each other as brother and sister." Reply Hidaka. Oono looked at her like this for a while, and then she smiled and hug Hidaka. After his suspicions, the gesture meant that she was missed too. In Yaguchi, however, one question remained unanswered. „Daniel. May I ask why Oono was in disguise?" „It's very simple. Make sure that no one rats us out. Luckily, I didn't see any kind of informants from both parents. My staff would rather die than betray me." When the two women stopped hugging each other, Oono returned to Yaguchi. With her hands, she noticed that the man had lost all his weight to bone. She looked at him with that look like she was saying:" I'm sorry I did this to you." „It's okay. Lately, I've been wanting to get back my weight anyway." He laughed a little nervous. Hidaka, on the other hand, turned to Daniel. „Why did you call me after everybody left the party?" Asked him. „It's very simple. As I noticed, you two are very good friends, and besides, you're also a professional player." Hidaka blushed at the compliment. „ I would like to ask you to help us implement the plan. We are few and if there is a tournament where teams can enter, we definitely need a player as strong as you." „ You don't have to say any more. I'll help you. Unfortunately, I just have to go because I have a tutor class tomorrow. Bye everyone!" After what he said, hidaka left quickly. „Actually, I have to go, too." Said yaguchi, while scratching his head. Oono embraced him even more so forcefull, that she out anaconda in shame. „ What good for you to hurry? I thought you were gonna beg to sleep with her." Oono stopped squeezing and let go of Yaguchi, who could breathe normaly now. „ I didn't think about this option. Thank you for the opportunity. „ You're welcome. Use my room. I'm gonna be sleep in a guest room. Just quietly for the first time. If you know, what I mean." Daniel laughed at the end of his sentence. Oono kicked the table, which didn't move. „you missed. It's nailed down, so it can withstand an earthquake."

When Yaguchi and Oono left the study, they immediately start a long and passionate kiss. This is such a great moment, just not for daniel, who wants to leave the room, but the couple is doing it outside the door. „Excuse me for interrupting this great moment, but I'd like to go to sleep. So, would you kindly do this in the bedroom?" Asked Daniel patiently. Yaguchi blushed, Oono chuckled and then headed for the bathroom. Daniel just looked at them with a smile. „Two lovebirds unite each other after a long time." After that, he looked to the reader. „It's such a wonderful moment, isn't it?"
