Reincarnated Into The World Of A Rape Erotic Game ~ Since The Game World Has Become Reality... I Want To Save The Heroines~ - Chapter 39: Bowling ②
The bowling match began with four people after Yuuka and Rin joined us. Really, how did it turn into this kind of competition…? Well, if they were fine with it, then I was too…
When I told the staff that more people had joined, they kindly offered us service even though we had already started the first game. It was good that they were nice people.
“I’ll go first!”
Saying that while bending her arm and striking a cute pose was Rin. The throwing order determined by rock-paper-scissors was: first Rin, second me, third Yuuka, and last Hiyori.
Holding the ball with both hands, she toddled forward and—
“—Here I go!”
A two-handed throw. The ball slowly proceeded down the center… gradually curving to the left. Just when it looked like it might hit the pin at the very end, it disappointingly fell into the gutter. It was a gutter ball.
“N-no way…”
Wait…? Could it be…
“…H-hey… Toyokazu-kun?”
“Yeah?”
Yuuka spoke to me in a small voice.
“I just thought of something…”
It seemed like Yuuka had the same thought cross her mind. And it seemed Hiyori did too…
“Kandou-cchi… this is her first time bowling, isn’t it…?”
“I thought so too, but… she wouldn’t confidently talk about a match if it was her first time, right…? The second throw should make it clear…?”
“R-right. Everyone has their own throwing style, and maybe she just happened to get a gutter ball.”
“Y-yeah…”
Ignoring us, she threw her second ball while saying “This time it’ll be a strike!” The ball she threw slowly rolled left and right, wobbling…
“It went in! Home run!”
“Toyokazu-kun!? That’s baseball! It went into the gutter!?”
I thought it was understandable that I got caught up in the atmosphere and said that.
“I understand how you feel…”
“Right!?”
“Y-you two, Rin-chan is coming back.”
“Wow~ Bowling is difficult, isn’t it?”
“Rin.”
“What?”
“Could it be that this is your first time bowling?”
“Yeah, that’s right?”
“What do you mean ’that’s right’!”
“W-what’s wrong with you three…?”
“You were so confident!”
“That’s because I thought I could do it! I’ve seen it on TV.”
“How could you be so confident with just that… that’s so like you, Rin-chan…”
“In a way, she’s got guts…”
“Doesn’t Rin need a handicap?”
“I don’t need one! I’m just getting started!”
She didn’t need a handicap? No matter how I thought about it, Rin seemed like she’d be last…
“A-anyway… I’m next.”
I took position with the ball… and threw it straight toward the center of the pins.
“Go!”
This had always been my style. I’d never thrown a curve… The ball was slightly off center, but because it had momentum, it bounced and knocked down six pins.
“Tch… it was a bit off…”
My second throw followed. I wanted to get a spare, but that didn’t happen and my total was eight pins.
“I’m next!”
Now, how would Yuuka do…?
Yuuka took the ball in her hands…
“What!? A personal ball!?”
I hadn’t noticed until now, but the ball Yuuka held wasn’t one of the balls anyone could use that were placed in the shop. Rin didn’t seem to understand this and didn’t raise her voice, but Hiyori and I understood immediately.
That was an expensive one…
“K-Kagu-cchi… d-don’t tell me… you have your own bowling ball…”
“Really, that’s what I want to ask too. And I’m curious as to when you even prepared it.”
“That’s because I left it at the shop in case a day like this would come!”
“What kind of day is ‘a day like this’!?”
“Well, actually Papa and Mama love bowling and I just have one because I usually go with them.”
Ah… Yusuke-san and Asami-san. Come to think of it, I think they’d both said something like that… Looking back, I had often heard from Yuuka herself that she went bowling a lot…
“Okay, I’m throwing! Hyah!”
Yuuka’s first throw drew a beautiful arc toward the center, just like you’d expect from someone experienced. And it was a perfect strike!
“Yuuka-chan is amazing~!”
“Nice one, Kagu-cchi.”
“As expected.”
“Thank you, you three ♪.”
“But you know… Kagu-cchi. I’m going to win this match.”
“I welcome the challenge!”
Hiyori’s first throw was a strike, just as her words suggested. This would become a competition between those two. I’d better do my best not to come in last…
♢♢♢
The game progressed, and before we knew it, we were at the final frame. Those who played this a lot probably knew this, but in the tenth frame, if you got a strike on the first throw, you could throw a second and third time.
And… Hiyori got a strike on her first throw. Her second throw unfortunately left nine pins. She didn’t get three strikes in a row, but she could still get a spare.
“Do your best, Hiyori.”
“Take it easy, okay?”
“Good luck, Hiyori.”
“How about… this!”
The ball Hiyori released was absorbed into the remaining pin and knocked it down beautifully!
“Yes! I got it! H-how are the results!?”
Hiyori’s total result displayed on the monitor was 250…
“Ah… I didn’t reach it…”
“I lost to Hiyori-chan…”
Yuuka’s score was 245, just short of Hiyori’s.
“No, no… you’re too good! I thought you might be a pro halfway through!”
My score was a personal best of 163. Far from reaching those two…
“I can’t…”
“Accept this…”
The two of them weren’t celebrating. Even Hiyori, who had beaten Yuuka, hadn’t reached the formidable opponent.
“Yay~♪ I won, I won ♪.”
“It’s Rin-chan’s win, right?”
“It’s Kandou-cchi’s win, right?”
It was understandable that the two said this while feeling down. Yes, Rin was the dark horse. That same Rin was innocently jumping and expressing her joy in front of the two who had lost some confidence. Her chest wasn’t bouncing as much as Hiyori’s, but it was still bouncing—
“…Toyokazu-kun?”
“I’m not looking at anything…”
I was looked at with suspicious eyes again. Still, to think she’d achieve such a high score with those wobbly throws…
Rin had managed to get a spare in frame two. And from frame three onward, everything was strikes. The result was 260…
Therefore, the winner was Rin.
“What does the winner Rin want to have granted?”
“Eh… a-anything is okay…?”
“Anything that can be granted is fine, isn’t it?”
“T-then… f-from the front… I-I might want to be hugged.”
From the front…? By whom…? As I was thinking that…
“It can’t be helped, Rin-chan.”
Saying that, Yuuka hugged Rin from the front.
“Wait!? Yuuka-chan, what are you doing!? I was mmph…”
“There, there. It can’t be helped, so I’ll hug you too.”
“Mmm~ mmm~ mmm~ (This is a conspiracy!)”
They really had become close friends. Friendship was beautiful… that was how it was…
As an aside…
“H-hey… that woman…”
“Y-yeah… one more strike and…”
“…Perfect…?”
Strike!
“Whoa!?”
“She did it!?”
“Perfect score!”
“Amazing…”
“To see that moment live…”
Ai had achieved a perfect game.
