<I'm in the the game center Babel.
Mom wants me to pick up some things for her at the store,
but I'll do that later.
The moment I step into the place, I notice people gathered
in one corner of the game center.
That's where Virtual Fighter II is.
I wonder if that woman is back.

I guess I'll go see who's over there.
The crowd is really loud.
Whoever's playing must be really good.

I can't see who's playing from here.
I move closer.
Gamer A:  Wow, she's cleared one hundred opponents again.
Gamer B:  She's great. We didn't stand a chance against
the best player in all Japan.
One hundred? The best in Japan?
It must be that woman!
She beat me twice before, but this time I'm ready for her.
The third time pays for all!

I took a coin out of my pocket.
I make my way through the crowd, until she comes into
view.

<AE_045
I knew it was her. It was time to put my months of
training to the test.
Well, all I really did was play the game like I always
do.
I put the coin in, and press the start button.
A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED displayed on the screen.
I choose Saizo. She chooses Hondala.
Hondala has relatively low speed, but many different
attack variations.
But his power is not as good as it could be.
There's one way for me to win. Keep my guard up and wait
for the right time to use my special attacks.
.....It's easy to say that, but somehow more difficult
to put it into action..... Uh-oh!
*BAT* *PUNCH* *KICK* *CRASH*
She got the first point already!
There's still one more to go, though....
*THOCK* *THOCK* *ZEEK*
Good, very good...
And now! 10X attack!
*THOCK*
My timing was off!
*BIT* *BAT* *PUNCH*
....My attack having failed, I took damage from Hondala's
punches. Then...
Dragon Death Strike!
*FOOM* 'Hondala is victorious!'
.....She ate me for breakfast.
I won't give up, though! I'll get her this time!
I put another into the machine.
*THOCK* *THOCK* *ZEEK*
Good, good...
*ZEEK* *PUNCH*
Now's my chance!
*KICK*
Good, now to take it up. Eat this!
Saizo jumps into the air. I can feel victory near.
*KICK*
What? Oh no!
Dragon Death Strike!
*FOOM* 'Hondala is victorious!'
Woman:  That was the wrong move! You should have done a
leg sweep there.
..........................................................
I continued the battle, but in the end, I didn't do much
better than last time.
%001:  I give up. I guess I'll get that shopping for
Mom done now.
6ЄLightning Destruction Fist!
*FOOM* 'Saizo is victorious!'
Yes! I got one point!
Woman:  Not bad at all. I guess I'd better start playing
for real.
What?!
.....In the end, I only won the one match against her.
%001:  I give up. I guess I'll get that shopping for
Mom done now.
6ЄTen Times Strike! *FOOM* 'Saizo is victorious!'
Good, I got one point!
Woman:  Oh, that was a good one. But I won't lose to you again.
%001:  I won't, either!
....We continued playing, and in the end, she had only 
a slight lead on me. 
Woman:  You were great. I've never met anyone as good as
you.
%001:  No, I was just lucky...
That's what I said, but I was aware of the gazes of all
the gamers all around me, and loving it.
Woman:  No, that was your true still. Do you want to try one
more challenge?
%001:  Huh?  Yeah, I guess.
It's no small thing to receive praise from the number 
one Virtual Ninja II player in Japan.
Opps! Look at the time. It's over two hours since I left
home.
If I don't get home soon, my mother will try to kiss me...
Don't ask me why.
%001:  I'm sorry, I sort of have to get home.
Woman:  Oh. Well, we'll play again next time.
%001:  Okay. I'll beat you next time for sure!
I waved goodbye to her and left Babel.
6ЄOh, I just remembered, Mom wanted
me to get some things for her from the store.
I took out the shopping list.
Let's see... Pork chops, onions, green peppers, milk,
all the usual things.
I go into the Zero One department store.
