after this.
“O-oi, Takane ….. Could the ‘target shooting’ you’re talking about be ….”
Judging from his expression, it seemed that Tateyama-sensei had already figured out what I was thinking of.
At any rate, in order to make this “target shooting” a reality, it would be an incredibly heavy workload for him.
“Fufufu …. That’s right. Even without using a saw or any tools, we can actually make a ‘target shooting game’, right? Haruka can draw all the characters and backgrounds, and we can finish it with just one prize.”
Once I’d explained this, Tateyama-ensei’s shoulders slumped, and he sighed, “Just as I thought ….”
Making a game with one person would be considerably large workload.
However, up until now, he had done some incredibly terrile things. Taking that into account, he hadn’t been giving enough effort at all.
“Eh …. ? We’re making a game!? Starting now!?”
The easygoing Haruka seemed surprised at this, and was reacting more than he usually would. However, unlike Tateyama-sensei, his surprise stemmed more from trying to contain his excitement.
“That’s right! Haruka, you’ll be drawing everything for the game. You can do that, right?”
After I said this, Haruka nodded his head enthusiastically. The expression he had right now was brighter than I’d ever seen from him before, giving off a completely different impression than how he usually was.
“It’ll be a lot of work, but do your best. Well, for the most part, Sensei will work something out for us.”
“What!? Me!? Just how much work do you think it is to make a ga—”
“Principal …..”
“Let’s do our very best and make something good!!”
With the most winning smile, Tateyama-sensei posed with his thumb again.
This “Principal” spell was incredibly useful.
There was no mistake that my future school life would be indebted to him.
“There’s just one problem. What do you mean by ‘Just one prize is enough’? As expected, we don’t know how many people will be able to clear the game … Are we making it so difficult that not even one person will be able to clear it? Won’t that just drive everyone away?”
“Don’t worry about that. For the game’s format, please make it a ‘point’ system rather than a ‘clear’ system. Also, I want it to be made for 2 players.”
“I can do that, but …. Wait, does this mean ….?”
“Right! I will be the opponent and compete for points with the challengers. If a girl like me is the opponent, all talk about the difficultly and so on will disappear, right?”
In a turn of events, Tateyama-sensei’s pale expression from earlier now changed to one of defeat. It was the same face that I’d had on earlier. Serves him right.
“Takane’s going to be the one fighting? But if you lose even once, then we won’t have a prize after that.”
“There won’t be an after. Because I won’t lose! It’ll definitely be lively when I lose just once at the end of the Culture Festival, and I’ll adjust myself accordingly when that time comes.”
Hearing this, Haruka made an incredibly worried face. Well, he had every right to.
We didn’t know what would happen with the game, and there was a slight chance that I might actually lose.
If I did end up losing, and our one prize, the “rare fish specimen (expensive)” was gone, that would mean the event would be over right then and there; it was quite a gamble.
However, I had a “special skill” that I hadn’t told him about.
…. Well, to be exact, it was that I didn’t want to talk about it, but because of it, I had confidence in this gamble. But I definitely did not want to talk about it—
“Ahh, Haruka, you know what? This kid’s really famous online. You know that game there’s commercials about on TV, right? The one where you shoot up zombies.”
“Ah, I’ve heard about it. It’s an online game, right ….? If I remember, there was a tournament for it a
