Chapter 150: Clink

TLN: The title is Mario coin sound…

The next morning.

When the sun emerged from the distant mountains, the Ferkles woke up lazily.

Maybe they haven’t been told about today event, they spend their free time chatting and flying around the flowers.

And then, the princess came out of the castle with her attendants.

“Everyone, there is an announcement from the princess! Listen carefully!”

When the aides called out, the fairies gathered around to see what was going on.

The princess coughed and spoke to everyone in the village.

“Everyone, do you remember? Today is the day Mother-sama is coming home.”

“Really?”

“Yay! I can meet Mother-sama!”

A large number of fairies shouted with joy, as they had just realized that it was their anniversary.

“Ehem. The night of the full moon is a memorable time for us Ferkles. To celebrate, we’ve prepared a festival for today!”

“Festival?”

“What’s that?”

The fairies who live in this village don’t even seem to know the word “festival”.

“It’s a very fun activity. Come to the village square today and join the fun!”

After the princess’s announcement, the fairies gathered at village square while having a lively discussion.

“What’s that?”

“There are so many big guys!”

What they saw was a lot of colorful stuffed dolls.

After all, a festival starts with its appearance.

Potsumon, Maruo, and other characters add a lively atmosphere to the festival.

Well, it looks like something for children.

“Attack!”

“It’s so fluffy!”

Hugging a big stuffed doll, the little fairies seemed to be having a great time.

“Hey, something smells good.”

“That, what’s that?”

Next, they seemed to notice the orange drink on the table.

Naturally, when it comes to festivals, people enjoy eating and drinking.

The first thing I prepared was a juice made from a mixture of fruits and vegetables found in the village.

The fairies immediately started drinking the juice with straws.

“Glug glug. What is this? It’s delicious.”

“It’s sweeter than nectar!”

The juice, with its concentrated sweetness of the fruit, seemed to be a perfect match for their taste buds.

They all crowded around the table with great joy, quenching their thirst.

Now that the scene were set to a certain extent.

The main part of the festival, the “fun” part, appeared.

Installed at the back of the square, of course, is the Twin B arcade.

“What’s that?　It’s huge.”

“Oh, it’s the one that shoots!”

“Let’s do it!”

It was the same kids who had played it yesterday who immediately flew to the arcade.

They landed on the platform and started playing the game.

“Here, take it!”

Press the button with vigor to shoot bullets and advance through the air, shooting down enemies as they go.

“What is it?”

“Wow, they are fighting in the picture!”

The gorgeous images attracted the attention of the villagers.

“Fufu, you guys should see this. This is a power-up!”

The fairy boy takes the bell, and Twin B starts shooting out a huge beam of fire this time.

“Whoa, amazing!”

“A lot of enemies are going down in one shot!”

“That’s so cool!”

The fairies were excited to see the gorgeous scene for the first time.

The players, boys and girls, take advantage of the momentum and take on the boss, a giant crab.

“Be careful!　This guy’s blowing bubbles out of his mouth.”

“I know, just shoot while dodging.”

They work together to shoot fireballs at the boss, manipulating the aircraft well.

Then, this time, they did it right.

The big crab’s body exploded and disappeared into the sky.

The fairies had successfully cleared the first stage.

“Yay!”

“Nice! Nice!”

“Wow! Those two beat such big guy!”

“I wanna see more!”

The cabinet was quickly filled with watching fairies, who were all watching Twin B in action.

As the game progresses, the player who dies seems to be replaced by another, consuming more and more credits.

By the way, this cabinet is set up so that players can play indefinitely without putting in any money.

I thought it would be better to have such a specification in the fairy village.　

“It’s amazing. Everyone’s so excited.”

When the princess looked at everyone happily, the uncle accompanying her frowned.

“Umu, ……. But there will be many who will not be able to have fun with just that one machine.”

He’s right, it’s hard to entertain hundreds of fairies with just one cabinet.

“I want to play too ……”

“There’s too many people in line!”

Of course, there will be children who complain about not being able to play.

That’s when the new product makes its appearance.

“Everyone, please pay attention. This is Gameboi, the picture is small but you can play it right away!”

As I said this, I laid out many small game consoles in the empty area.

The fairies flew immediately.

“Oh, it’s big enough to hold by hand!”

“Can I play Twin B with this?”

The fairies ask while holding the game boi.

“Of course. There are many other games you can enjoy. Just flip the switch on the top and it will work.”

I explained it to them, and they mimicked me and turned it on.

“It’s working!”

“Oh, there’s Twin B!”

At the opening selection screen, choose a game to play from the all-star lineup.

Most of the kids seem to want to play the one they were watching earlier.

“Shoot, shoot!”

 “I took the bell and now I can shoot 3 beam of fire!”

Everyone is overjoyed and engrossed in playing on the small screen.

Of course, some of them play other games.

“This one, called Kerbia, eats enemies. It’s amazing!”

“If you eat enemies with swords, you’ll be able to use swords!”

Kerbia, a star creature who eats everything, has the power to absorb the abilities of it’s enemies.

The fairies were cackling at the sight of Kerbia, who swallowed all sorts of enemies and use a variety of abilities.

“Jampu, Jampu!”

Other than that, I guess it’s very catchy and easy to understand.

The little ones were happy to control Maruo who jumped up and down.

The fairies flocking to the game boi were very adorable.

I took some pictures of the festival with my camera, thinking that it would be good content for the video distribution.

However, it is not good to stare at the game screen all the time during the festival.

If they play for too long, it can damage their eyes.

I prepared a simple board game that everyone could play together.

A simple Sugoroku game, since a complicated one would be too difficult for the kids to play.

“Now there’s a big board!”

“There’s a picture on it. How do we play with it?”

The little fairies that had gathered on the board looked up at me with curious expressions.

It’s called “Sugoroku,” in which you play to reach the goal by moving forward as far as the dice go.

After I explained the rules, they started throwing dice that were as big as their faces.

“Ei!　Yes, five!　One, two, three, four, five!”

The little Ferkle turns himself into a character and moves through the squares on the board.

This looks interesting.

“I’ll show you my skills as a video game master. Here!”

Fel joined in, throwing the dice as hard as she could.

But all that came up was a single red one.

“One ……. Wachishi, one square …….”

My partner, who stopped after taking one step forward, looking sad.

The self-proclaimed master is too miserable.

“Only one! Kyahaha!”

Laughing heartily, the next child rolled the dice and got a six this time.

“Hooray!　One, two, three, four, five, six!　Ugh ……”

The little boy, Ferkle, was overjoyed to be moving through the squares, but he froze at the last square.

The words written on the sixth square were “Return to Start”.

It was the worst sentence he could have expected.

“… No. I won’t go back!”

The boy seemed to really want to win and refused the instructions of the squares.

But if he did, the other participants would not be quiet.

“Hey, you can’t break the rules!”

“You have to do what it says or you’re out.”

“If you do not go back, you won’t be considered a winner.”

The others booed, and the boy cried as he flew back to the starting point.

Such a human scene appearead in a simple sugoroku game.

Everyone seemed to be taking their first board game seriously.
