Chapter 8 - CH7: A little competition [Part 1]

"hmph" Chise turns her head away, ears flicking. "I'm definitely more beautiful than you, shorty."

*crack*

"huh, and where did that come from, flatty." Somehow Sakura was very intimidating.

'oh no'

============

(POV: 3rd)

"Uh-" their eyes snap to Fen, surprising her. "H-How a-about we s-settle this by seeing who is better at th-the games?"

*stare~~~*"Now now, it seems like a good idea, that way we can all play against each other." Mary injected her opinion.

"Hmm~, ok!" Sakura gives her thumbs up to the idea.

"That's fine, I guess." Chise looks away.

"O-ok, th-that's fine and all, but, wh-what are you w-wearing, F-Fox?" Fen asked.

Chise looks down... and turns red, "I-I, came from my j-job..."

"What's so special about the outfit?" Sakura asks confused at Chise's situation.

"It's a cosplay of Magical Girl Lily." Fen spoke with a strange confidence, stunning all present, for different reasons...

'Fen seems to get confidence when talking about games or things she likes' Mary thought.

'You know the anime based off the magical girl worlds, Magi-Girls!?' Chise exclaims in her heart, almost jumping in excitement.

"..."(all)

"What, why are guys staring at me like that?" Chise is confused.

"You said it out loud." Sakura pointed out.

"Huh wha n-no, I d-didn't s-say anything, totally..." Chise didn't dare look at them in the eye as her ears flicked about.

'hmph it seems she's just a tsun tsun, but I'll still get back at her for her words, but hey at least I know that her ears are a tell.' Sakura thought.

"So game, right games, may the best win, Ice Queen." And now Chise is back to her usual self...

"Hmph, your on Fox." Fen responded to her provocation in kind.

"Hmm since we are playing against each other, how about a prize for the winner, the losers all pitch in." Mary, the rational person of the group, suggests.

"Hehe, that sounds like a great idea." Sakura is now even more excited to beat them.

"Mary the best win." Chise responded in confidence.

"Hmph" Fen put on a serious expression.

-anime transition screen here :P-

"We have a similar games like these in our world, no need to explain anything, ok Fen?" Sakura notes.

"mn, ok."

-First game, Laser Tag-

We approach the attendant guy.

"Hello we'd like a game, free-for-all." Fen waves what looks to be a V.I.P. card.

"right away." The attendant ran off to unlock the vests.

As they were putting on their vests, which automatically adjusted to their sizes, Sakura asked the important question, " So what was that card?"

"And what score are we going to." Chise interjected.

"Yes that too..."

"The card was a VIP card I got from getting 100k+ points from the games." Fen responded, "And for the points how about, we each get 3 lives, last one standing."

"Aight." Sakura responded as they entered the arena with their laser pistols.

Each person entered into a corner of the arena, visors on, locked in for the upcoming match...

'But I'm not good at gun stuff...' except Mary.

[MATCH STARTS IN 3... 2... 1... GO!!]

And Chise immediately starts off with a sprint towards the high ground.

*bzt*

and gets tp'ed back to spawn...

"... wut" and was confused.

"You were in the open, what did you expect?" Fen asked over comms.

"Oh..."

Back to the match, Mary is wondering around her base, getting stalked by Sakura, and is immediately caught off guard Sakura decided it was time to stop messing with her prey.

"Boo!"

*btz*

Sakura was sent back, "I knew I shouldn't have played with my food."

[PLAYER 'CHISE' ELIMINATED]

"ez" Fen was hunting Chise while Sakura was messing with Mary.

"Hmph, I'll get you soon, Fenny." Sakura antagonized her.

"mn"

*bzt*

Fen was sent back.

"What, how did you get me, didn't you just respawn?" Fen was rightfully confused.

"hehe, my eyes are pretty good, plus I heard you, teehee."

"..." Fen didn't respond, mostly because both her and Sakura saw each other and ducked to cover.

In this situation, both chose the best option, grenade!

*tink* 2x

""..."" They looked down, realizing they both had the same idea, ""fuck.""

**bzt**

And so they both got sent back to spawn, infuriated with the outcome.

"Since were both on our last life, how about a good ol' fashion draw of the gun?" Sakura proposed.

"mn, ok" Fen agreed.

And so they met up at the center hand on their guns, and Fen got out a coin, "When this touches the ground, we draw."

Fen flicked the coin into the air...

*ding, bzt*

[PLAYER 'SAKURA' ELIMINATED]

"It seems I won." Fen said to nobody.

"No." Mary puts a gun to to back of Fen's head.

*bzt*

[PLAYER 'FEN' ELIMINATED]

"Am I that forgettable?" Mary questioned to herself.

-In the lobby-

The crew reassembles, saddened by the result of the match.

"I can't believe this." Fen is especially saddened because she's actually good at laser tag.

"Oh cheer up now, since Fen chose this who wants to pick the next game."

"I guess I can choose." Chise volunteered.

######

"..." Both Sakura and Mary stare blankly at the game.

Sakura spoke first, "Isn't this just DDR?"

"Seems like it." Mary responded.

"..." Fen just stares blankly, sweating buckets. 'I can't dance! ESPECIALY if people are watching. I'm done for...'

Where as the rest are like this, Chise seems extremely confident.

-2nd game, DDR-
