Eliza and I walked through the well-maintained royal capital.
But I was surprised.
I thought I had learned a good deal about the new culture that has emerged in this era.
But in reality, I'm not so sure.
This city is still full of 'unfamiliar things'.
The best example of this is the store I'm standing in front of right now.
What is this store?
I was curious, so I asked Eliza, who was walking next to me.
What was there was a mysterious store that also echoed the clattering and noisy sounds.
The clientele gathered was various, young and old, men and women, some students and some old.
Hmmm. I don't know how to explain it. Apparently it's called an amusement park (game center) by the locals.
The arcade? What's the place to do?
It's a place for people with too much time on their hands to waste in order to pass the time.
Oh, man. That mystery store.
I'm starting to get a little curious after what you just said.
"Since we're here, let's take a look around.
Yeah, I'm good. Okay. To tell the truth, I haven't been to many of these places myself.
I went under the automatic door and entered the amusement hall.
Inside, the atmosphere was somewhat unique.
In a space cut off from the outside world, there were tabletop competitions such as card games and chess games, but the one that had an overwhelming presence was the one at the far end.
It was a dubious tool that was constantly making a loud clattering sound.
I had read about it in a book a long time ago.
Maybe it is a tool called "slot".
The way to play a slot machine is as follows.
First of all, a customer bets the coins purchased from the operator and puts them into a slot machine.
In the slot machine, a customer wins a certain percentage of the jackpot to increase the amount of coins.
These coins can be exchanged for cash, apparently.
I don't know how it works, but customers pour a lot of money into the machine for the "might" of coins.
Suddenly, the skeletal imitation next to me starts to clatter.
"Students(Gakusei), that's the one you're talking about, that's the one you're talking about. Use that one over there for all ages.
Thanks for the nosiness. But then I glance at the slot corner.
They were playing the slots as if they were obsessed with something.
What is it that drives these people here?
Well, it's a world that you may be interested in, but you shouldn't understand.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
