Rui Shinichi | Warakuma Arcade

"Nice to meet you too Kato", he responded. The boy now identified as Kato then proceeded to introduce Ayano as well. A bit of an introvert huh? Well, not that he couldn't relate... Regardless, he moved onto the topic of the arcade.

"Sure... But, are we playing?", he inquired. Going to these arcades was just a natural thing for him, since he went to them often in Tokyo. Meeting all these people here was merely coincidence, not that it was unwelcome. Having a lot of potential opponents was good, even if they were new, and if they were indeed new, they can learn. He found that learning and achieving more in these kinds of games were a lot more rewarding, not to mention they weren't an easy-win kind of deal like in an RPG. Learning something new in this, it was a new tool, like a new shiny gadget that has it's own uses, as well as weaknesses one way or another. Getting better or stronger was also a matter of personal achievement and progress, rather than kept track of in-game, it was something he appreciated.
