Chapter 1 It's not fair!
In July, the northern hemisphere entered the hottest season. Japan is like in previous years. Both universities, middle schools and primary schools across the country have started holidays. But unlike in previous years, there are fewer children going up the mountain to catch cicadas and go down the mountain to catch fish and run around the city, and more children are holding their heads and pressing rectangular machines. As long as there are children in each street, there seems to be such "head-down people".
"Yeah! I won!" A child cheered and cheered with a Tetris machine.
The child sitting on the same bench with him pouted and said unhappily, "Where did you win? You are obviously lucky! When you almost failed, a bunch of good blocks suddenly came, otherwise why would you be better than me?"
"A little bit!" The winning child stuck out his tongue and mocked, "Don't talk about these things, if I win, I won! My Tetris machine is a lucky opportunity! But Takahashi personally sent it to me! Look! Takahashi's signature is also on it!"
"Hmph!" The child who lost because of his bad luck turned his head and left angrily.
The machine that won the child was indeed Takahashi's.
More than a month ago, the "Tetris National Tour Final" that shocked the whole country just ended at the Tokyo National Arena.
The contestants not only participated in the variety show "Takahashi's Party", but also became celebrities who attracted much attention from the whole country. The announcement received countless orders, which was simply a rising new star.
Although the child who had just won was not shortlisted, he picked up the phone immediately and ordered the Tetris handheld machine recommended by his idol, Takahashi.
The telemarketer of Wanhu opposite asked his parents and then asked about his address.
After nearly a week of long waiting, he didn't even leave the door. Every time the doorbell rang, he rushed to the door and opened the door as soon as he was struggling, and he finally received a package from Wanhu.
And, it turns out that his waiting is worth it, very worth it! Because the one who delivered the goods to him was the idol of almost all elementary school students, Takahashi!
Although Takahashi himself did not participate in any Tetris competition, many children believed that he should be the final champion.
The little boy who can always see Takahashi on TV is not unfamiliar with Takahashi. He is even more excited about Takahashi being able to deliver goods to him and deliver Tetris handheld machine to his hands!
The two took photos under the camera as a souvenir, and he also asked Takahashi to sign his name on the machine. Although it was just a marker signature, he kept it with great care and begged his father, who was working in Okamoto, to make a silicone soft cover for the Tetris handheld machine.
Takahashi's signature seemed to have unparalleled magic. He played with Tetris handheld every day. He could play with two Sony batteries for a month, but for him, Sony's battery could only be played for one week.
You know, Sony's battery technology is the best in the world! Even in Tamiya's four-wheel drive competition, the only designated battery is Sony's battery!
I don’t know if it was hard practice or if the name was really magical. His technology has improved rapidly, and he quickly went from being in a low-level position to reach the level of being able to fight against "experts".
Where there are people, there are martial arts and lakes, and where there are people, there are competitions.
Although the children's adults at home don't want to go to the arcade hall now, and although it is not reliable to let unfamiliar children go to their homes to compete with red and white machines, using Tetris handheld machine games has become a new trend this summer!
Every street has masters of every street, and with the popularity of Tetris, not only children, but also office workers who have to work as subways every day, bosses who are bored to watch shops, and even construction workers at construction sites, all have a Tetris machine.
No one knows who is the master among these people. It is hidden in the world. There are peerless masters hidden among the peddlers, shop owners, and children with snot bubbles.
Because of the "lucky handheld machine" signed by Takahashi, the little boy worked hard to hone his skills and embarked on the road of challenging others.
Just like the endless fantasy launched by Wanhu, find experts in every neighborhood, challenge them, and get rewards!
Sometimes it may be a bunch of bananas, a big slice of watermelon, and sometimes it may be coins and drinks.
I am willing to accept the loss of the bet, and everyone will abide by the rules set in private.
The winner is the king!
The little boy with the "lucky handheld machine" gradually gained fame. His title has also changed from "first-coming" to "small achievements".
Today, what he challenged means is that the tenth place in the entire elementary school in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area and below. If people in the real world also have names on their heads, their names will probably be green, representing the level of elite monsters.
"Hey! You haven't given me the trophy yet!" the little boy shouted after the "loser", breaking out of the shadow left by the wall, entering the sun, and swinging a hot wind in his arms. Scarlet sweat dripped from his temples and chin.
"What are you doing!" another little boy was grabbed by his arm and shouted angrily.
"You lost, the spoil!" the little boy said with confidence.
"You're not really winning! You're just lucky!" another little boy argued.
"Luck is also part of strength. If you don't agree, go find Takahashi's signature! But signing is a future matter. If you lose now, give me the spoils!"
"Okay" Although the other little boy didn't want to admit that he had lost, his score was indeed lower than that of the little boy. He sighed unwillingly and handed the long-loving tenth medal to the little boy.
"I will win back one day!" he said.
"I hope there is one day! I'll leave first! Come on!" The little boy turned into a hot wind and ran away again.
Cheers from the small group where the little boys were heard from afar.
Another little boy walked home with his head down in disappointment. The cool breeze blowing from the electric fan seemed to not bring him coolness.
Thinking about the medal he had worked hard to get, it was actually taken away by someone. His hands were trembling slightly.
The more he thought about it, the more he became angrier, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became.
"Do you also want to ask Takahashi for an autograph? Then you will win? No! Takahashi said, don't rely on others, work hard is the king! You lose because it's unfair! It's because the blocks of the game are different. If it's like a regular game, the blocks of both sides will be the same."
