The Author's POV

Chapter 198

"How much do you want to change?"

"Let's go with 5,000 U first"

With a bright smile, the cashier of the arcade greeted me. Handing my card to the cashier, the cashier quickly scanned the card and handed me a black card along with my bank card.

"Thank you for your patronage"

"Yup"

"Sure"

I took the card and turned around.

To be honest, I was just as excited as Emma was. I loved arcades. Glancing behind me, I looked at Kevin who was patiently waiting in line and shouted.

"I'm gonna go play some games, meet me once you're done"

Turning his head, Kevin nodded his head.

"Sure"

"Alright"

...

Roaming the arcade, I couldn't decide on which game to play first.

'Which game should I play first? Hmm, should I try the classics or the new ones? Oh, that one over there looks nice'

There were just so many games that I wanted to play.

From the virtual race car game to 4D Pac-man, there were just so many options to choose from.

"...this is rigged!"

Whilst I was pondering on which game I should play, I suddenly heard a familiar voice in the distance.

Without even needing to look at who the voice belonged to, I instantly knew that it belonged to Emma.

Turning around and glancing in her direction, I spotted her fiercely staring at the machine before her. Poor Amanda was next to her trying to calm her down.

The sight looked rather comical.

"Emma, please don't shout"

"Is money what you want!? Take it, I've got enough for the likes of you!"

Ignoring Amanda, Emma furiously glared at the machine as she cursed.

'Ah, she's playing the crane game'

With her hand carefully controlling the joystick of the machine, Emma's lips were plucked outwards as she fully immersed herself in the game.

Lowering the crane, Emma successfully picked up a stuffed teddy. Excitedly looking at Amanda, Emma exclaimed.

"I can feel it, this time I'm going to win!"

"mhm"

Having heard the same words more than five times already, Amanda bitterly nodded her head.

"I've got this, come on..."

With her tongue out, Emma slowly moved the joystick. She was so immersed in the game that she did not notice me coming from behind her. Controlling the joystick, Emma tried to move the claw towards the small hole on the bottom left of the machine.

-Plap!

Unfortunately, she failed as the teddy bear fell before she could reach the hole. When she saw this, Emma's face turned red.

"Shit!"

Sitting down on the machine next to her, I said "That's not how you do it"

Turning around, Emma shouted, "Who is it?"

"It's me"

Finally noticing me, Emma's voice became monotonous, "Ah, it's you"

"What an enthusiastic reply"

"What? did you want me to be excited or something?"

Shaking my head, I pointed at the machine before her and said "Nevermind that, you're playing the game wrong"

Raising her brow, Emma mocked "What? Are you some kind of expert or something?"

Nodding my head, I proudly puffed my chest, "In fact I am"
