Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

Shining neon lights bring a second "day" to the city

Kato Yusuke took the train to Shinjuku alone, walked out of the station, and exited at the square in front of the famous Shinjuku ALTA. Walking along the street next to ALTA, after passing the traffic light at the end, there is a big Don Quixote.

The bright and dazzling light boxes are like gold stars falling to the ground, illuminating the restaurants, bars, and drug stores on both sides, making the entire street seem to be alive.

Among the noisy voices.

The bustling crowds of people crowded together like a lantern parade and flowed down the street.

Then walk forward for a while and reach the next intersection.

A tall archway made of neon lights appeared in front of you - "Kabukicho Ichiban Street".

Look around.

Walking around were not only the blond man in a suit, but also women with heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes that exposed half of their buttocks.

He looked like he was in a special industry.

Even so, that's not always the case.

On this street that exudes the atmosphere of an adult world, there are also girls in uniforms walking in an upright manner. Kato Yusuke silently raised his feet and walked forward, passing through the Kabukicho Ichiban Street Archway overhead, and walking into the brightly colored and bustling Happy Street, as if he had stepped into the mouth of a giant wriggling creature.

He put his hands in the pockets on both sides of his sportswear and observed the environment on both sides as he walked.

Karaoke, chain restaurants, convenience stores, cowherd shops, nightclubs, custom shops, and many other places with ambiguous lights.

The dazzling stores formed a long queue, extending vertically and horizontally along every street corner, with no end in sight.

one

He raised his face and looked straight ahead.

In the night a little way away, there stood a huge building that reached into the sky. There is a Godzilla on the roof, staring eagerly at the tourists below.

Judging from the electronic screen set up on the outside of the building and the images played on it, it seems to be a place like a cinema.

Kato Yusuke walked aimlessly, turning a blind eye to the reminders around him to "be careful of blackmail."

Soon we came to a building with a FamilyMart convenience store, and a large and conspicuous "Kabukicho" neon sign flashed on the wall.

He put the hood on the back of his coat over his head and walked inside.

I randomly picked up a bottle of oolong tea, a plum rice ball, and a 1.75L bottle of Jack Daniels from the shelf, and then went to the checkout counter.

During the checkout process, a series of prompts appeared on the screen of the machine facing the guest:

"What should I do if I am over 20 years old?"

Kato Yusuke looked calm, and while reaching out to press the "Yes" button, he took out a 10,000-yuan note from his wallet and placed it on the cashier tray.

The convenience store boy in charge of the checkout looked up at him for a moment and asked politely: "Do you have any identification that can confirm your age?"

"I forgot to bring it when I went out." He said calmly.

"Ah, is that so? I'm really sorry for this customer, but in this case this product cannot be sold to you." An apologetic expression appeared on the convenience store boy's face, and he took the bottle of Jack Daniels aside alone.

Kato Yusuke nodded silently and said nothing more. After paying for the oolong tea and rice balls, he left the convenience store.

As a result, even in a bustling place like Kabukicho, it is not easy to find loopholes.

He sat on a table by the roadside, took a sip of oolong tea, and looked at the surrounding shops.

Although there are nightclubs and nightclubs everywhere, if you need to check your identity, then entering them is just a waste of time.

As for those illegal shops, in such a mixed place, there are endless traps and troubles.

It's just for a drink, so there's really no need to risk one's life by getting involved.

He was indeed a little annoyed, but he didn't lose his mind yet.

Kato Yusuke was blowing the night breeze on the roadside and ate the plum rice ball he just bought. Then he got up and joined the crowd, strolling with the crowd.

Although he had lived in Tokyo for so long, this was his first time visiting a place like Kabukicho, so he had no direction or where he wanted to go.

Smell of alcohol, smoke, sweat, perfume, food:

There are all kinds of smells floating in the air, like a huge melting pot. Whether they smell good or bad, they are all mixed in, forming a unique atmosphere in the land of fireworks.

In izakayas and fast food restaurants where men are the majority, you can see many people drinking beer.

Each one of them was either red in the face or high-spirited after drinking, and it was unknown how many times they were in transition.

Kato Yusuke followed the flow of people to another street, the street of Don Quixote that he passed before.

He stood under a telephone pole for a while, then casually took a pack of tissues handed to him by a customer solicitor at a certain store and put it into his pocket. Then, following the source of the rhythmic and joyful music, we walked into a seemingly large game arcade.

I exchanged 2,000 yuan of game tokens at the machine at the entrance and walked towards the inner hall.

There seemed to be some kind of event being held in the store. Many people were gathered in front of the two arcade machines, watching the operators' performances, and making comments from time to time.

Kato Yusuke also walked over and discovered that there were two "Tekken 6" arcade machines.

He wasn't very interested in it, but he still followed it.

The characters fighting in the screen are a kangaroo and a leopard king. The operators are a fat otaku and a gangster with short blond hair.

Kato Yusuke looks at it from the latter’s perspective.

Judging from the health bars of both characters, the little gangster was obviously at a disadvantage at this time, but he looked at it with ease and even chewed the gum in his mouth calmly.

The situation quickly reversed.

Facing the gap between the kangaroo's attacks, the gangster quickly seized on this flaw and used his character to launch a counterattack.

After beating the kangaroo into a floating state, he then used a set of extremely smooth combos, which emptied the opponent's health bar in one breath and achieved a reversal.

"Damn it! It was so close!" The defeated otaku left the machine unwillingly.

The little bastard raised the corners of his mouth proudly and gave a thumbs up gesture.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but started talking.

"Damn it, another person failed.'

"That's too strong. Is this already the tenth person?"

"You are truly worthy of being a champion. This strength is unmatched.'

One by one, bang bang

The employees of the game arcade standing aside clapped their hands and said, "Is there any next challenger? As long as the challenge is successful, you can receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan~~ Is there anyone else?'

Everyone shook their heads at this and did not take the bait.

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

‘What are the requirements to participate?’

"Oh~! Are you interested? This little brother." The employee in charge of hosting his eyes lit up and immediately stepped forward and said: "The registration fee is 3,000 per month. Once you pay it, you can participate!"

Kato Yusuke nodded, took out three Noguchi Hideyo cards from his wallet, and handed them over.

"join.'

"Okay! I wish you good luck, little brother." The host happily accepted the money and stepped aside.

Facing everyone's gaze, Yusuke sat down at the seat where the otaku had just left.

Seeing this, the people who were about to disperse just now stopped immediately, including the otaku who also stood behind him and started looking.

Kato Yusuke put a coin into the machine and soon entered the selection stage.

Unlike the opponent who had locked on the role of the Leopard King from the beginning, he slowly picked out the many characters. The cursor moving back and forth looked very awkward, and finally stopped on a certain avatar.

--Lily

It was a rich lady with long blond hair, a delicate face and wearing a white dress.

"You actually use ily, this character has been reduced to C level, little brother." The otaku behind him couldn't help but remind him, and also attracted the agreement of others.

"Yes, the Leopard King opposite is an S-class character. This is such a disadvantage. Let's change to another one, little brother."

Kato Yusuke turned a deaf ear to this and directly targeted the character.

He didn't know anything about S-level and C-level, and he had only been asked to play this game twice by Yamaguchi and the others. Lily was the only character he knew the moves, so he chose it for no particular reason.

Seeing that he was determined, everyone kept silent, but they couldn't help showing a somewhat unfavorable expression.

After the cutscene, the game begins quickly.

The Leopard King controlled by the little gangster stepped back and kept a position not far away from him. He observed the situation and showed that he was different from his appearance.

I saw the blond lady standing on the spot, first punched the air twice, then hit a high upper kick, followed by a throw...

Without exception, these attacks all hit the air, and even created a large gap in movement, giving off a smell of trying out moves.

Faced with this situation, the little gangster did not let go. He immediately used the Leopard King to follow up, and hit Lly with a pushing move, causing him to be very stiff.

Then he followed up with a series of combos and charged jump pressure, knocking him to the ground and directly suppressing Lily's health line to half.

The Leopard King ended with a violent six-punch wrestling sequence.

There was little resistance, and the first life ended quickly.

The little gangster couldn't help but jeer: "Hey, what is this? Are you a wooden person on the training ground?"

This is a newbie who is stupid and has a lot of money. The crowd's eyes fell on Yusuke and they understood this.

Kato Yusuke had no reaction to this, there was some understanding in his eyes, and his expression was as usual.

3, 2, 1.

He pushed the joystick down with his left hand and pressed two buttons with his right hand.

In the picture, Lily put her hands on the ground and kicked her slender thighs upwards. She happened to meet the Leopard King who came to the door and wanted to suppress her, and her whole body was instantly kicked into the air.

follow closely-

Before the Leopard King landed, Lily got up and performed another graceful jump kick.

1, 2, 3, 4,...7, 8!

As the number of combos on the screen increased, the Leopard King's health bar also continued to decrease. It was not until the system forcibly determined the invincibility time that he finally fell to the ground.

Yusuke didn't give up on this.

He gently held the joystick, and the five fingers of his slender right hand danced rapidly on the buttons as if playing a piano.

First, he blocked the opponent's leg sweep, then followed up with a throw to knock him down again. When the Leopard King was on the ground, he followed up with a set of backflip kicks, and then followed up with an elegant small leg sweep. Wipe away the last trace of the opponent's blood.

"Perfect!"

Several big words popped up on the screen.

The Leopard King's health bar was completely cleared.

In an instant, surprise spread.

The boy's eyes were calm and unwavering, as if he was just stretching.

Without giving everyone a chance to react, the game entered the next set.

Change the previous one.

Kato Yusuke operated the character and took the initiative to attack.

Lily on the screen came up with a flying knee and an upper kick.

The Leopard King blocked the upper section, but did not react to the lower section, and was kicked into the air.

"It's a super big float again!" The otaku who saw this scene exclaimed with a look on his face.

Light punches, light punches, light punches and heavy punches, light punches and heavy punches, light punches and heavy punches, flying kicks in the middle,

Another set of gorgeous floating combos knocked the Leopard King to the wall and fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" the little gangster yelled angrily, commanding the Leopard King to get up, defending and dodging while looking for opportunities.

He tried to use some small moves that touched blood, but they were all blocked, and the throwing skills hidden behind light attacks were also broken free by the opponent. With a sullen face, he used a push-hand that was classic and shameless for this character, but it still didn't work, and even resulted in a huge backswing.

Lily on the screen immediately seized the opportunity and launched a series of punches and kicks. Finally, she jumped on the Leopard King's shoulders and kicked him twice in the face, followed by a graceful backhand shuttlecock kick and push hand. , won the set with consecutive skills.

This is also a 10-hit combo plus 2 for the character Lily, which is also a classic.

Then comes the final set.

The audience unknowingly became breathless. Everyone was looking at the screen of the game console without even blinking.

Faced with Yusuke's wildly different performance, the gangster also felt a huge pressure and became more cautious.

The Leopard King's steps in the picture are vague and real, stepping forward and retreating for a while, not daring to show any flaws at all.

But all this is in vain.

Whether it was light punches, heavy punches, kicks, or throws, the opponent's reaction was obviously faster than his, almost to the point of being unpredictable.

He obviously thought that some moves could be hit, but they were either blocked, dodged or escaped.

The suppressive power shown by Lily in the picture is completely different from that of a C-level character, and she is played to perfection in the opponent's hands.

There is always a kind of elegance in the smooth and beautiful moves. Together with the gorgeous special effects and smooth hitting feeling, it brings people a visual feast-like enjoyment.

Until the end, the Leopard King failed to draw any blood from Lily and fell to the ground helplessly.

"Perfect!"

Lily, who was victorious, smiled with her face covered and gracefully performed a skirt-pinching ceremony.

Gudu, the sound of swallowing came from the crowd.

"Three, three times Perfect!" the otaku stammered, the previous contempt in his eyes had long since disappeared, only shock remained. Kato Yusuke released the joystick, turned to look at the employee on the side, and asked: "Am I the winner?"

"Huh? Ah, yes!'

The employee in question was startled. He first glanced at the gloomy gangster, then nodded his head again and again, and responded: "You won, little brother! Please follow me to the front desk to get it." Prize.'

Kato Yusuke got up and followed him, and gave the game token he just bought to the otaku.

Watching their leaving figures.

A bang!

"Ah, it's boring enough." The little gangster kicked the machine in great displeasure and left cursing.
