Chapter 53, Solida Game Walkthrough
In the final battle, Miyako, who was holding the controller, suddenly became flustered and couldn't press the buttons properly, which caused her character to die shortly after the start of the game. Without support, even with her excellent movement, Amako Akina's character health kept dropping.
Finally, the words "game over" appeared on the screen, prompting whether you wanted to try again.
"Yu, were you very nervous just now?" Akina couldn't help but glance at Yu, and found that he was tense, seemed to have swallowed several times, and was fiddling with the controller in his hands as if at a loss.
Gong You nodded: "Yeah, after all, he's the final villain of the game. It's normal to be nervous and excited, and we don't even know what kind of skills he'll use."
As he said this, his eyes sparkled, showing no sign of the frustration of being instantly defeated. On the contrary, he was eager to try again.
Miyaji pouted speechlessly: "Then shouldn't you get stronger because you were so bad at it just now, since you were excited?"
He then snatched the controller from Gong You's hand: "Let me try it."
He was also very excited, after all, the game was about to end.
Akina Amami pressed the button to start the challenge again, this time with Osamu Miyaji.
Naturally, they lost again this time, only this time they lasted a little longer.
"Tch, you still lost." Gong You curled his lip, making no attempt to hide his mockery of Gong Zhi.
“Well, after all, this is the first time we’ve encountered this kind of monster. We could find some weaknesses in the previous bosses compared to other monsters, but we know nothing about this boss.” Akina Amami’s expression was also very serious; she seemed to be treating this game as a serious undertaking as well.
"Maybe after a few more tries, we'll discover this monster's weakness." Miya Yu's eyes lit up, and he snatched the controller from Miyaji's hand again, starting the next round of battle without saying a word.
This time the result was much better. Although the whole team was still wiped out, the boss's health was reduced to less than half, thus starting the second phase.
The team was wiped out because they couldn't withstand the second phase of the skills for a short time.
Akina Amane sighed, "Even I have a hard time dealing with this boss."
She did consider whether she should change roles.
However... they've come this far, and they've been working on getting used to their characters along the way, so it's not easy for them to switch now.
"We can't possibly lose in an entire afternoon, can we?" Gong Zhi clicked his tongue lightly. He had just seen a glimmer of hope, and even though he wasn't the one playing around, he couldn't help but feel hopeful.
They still lost.
"Hmm...we need to think of other ways." Akina Amaho pressed down on Miyaji's hand.
"A-Zhi, don't press the 'Re-challenge' button yet." With that, she handed the controller she was holding to Miya Yu.
"Why don't you two try to defeat this boss together?" she said with a smile.
She had just realized that if these two cooperated well, they could achieve even better results than she had.
“I can give you some pointers; perhaps I can see things more clearly from the perspective of observing from the outside,” she said.
This sentence silenced Gong You, who had just wanted to express his dissatisfaction.
He was still muttering to himself, "But I have absolutely no idea how to use the character that Mina is using?"
Although he had seen Mina use it many times and admired its flashy moves, he had tried it during the character trial and couldn't execute such flashy combos.
So now he pointed to himself and said, "Huh? I'm going to play this role? Really?"
He didn't think that he and Aji could win the fight on their own.
Akina Amaho nodded: "You two, give it a try."
Miyaji sighed deeply, feigning seriousness: "Wouldn't that mean I'd be carrying Yu in the game? I'm definitely better at it than him now."
“That’s not necessarily true,” said Akina Amaho with a smile.
After all, the character she uses has relatively high combat power. If Gong You becomes even slightly more skilled at using it, he can easily deal high damage.
Of course, it's still a fragile character, so you either need to have excellent positioning skills or always have a strong healer.
Miyako and Miyaji exchanged a glance, while Amako Akina, sitting between them, still wore a smiling expression, revealing no other emotions.
"Alright, let's give it a try then." Miyaji sighed, clicked his tongue in disgust, and really didn't want to play with Miyayu.
"Tch." Gong You also curled his lip.
Because they always teamed up with Akina Amamiya alone, even though they were twins, it was still a little awkward for them to team up for the first time at this time.
Most importantly, their teamwork was so good that it was almost nauseating.
"This is its weak point. Yuu, run to the lower right to avoid this attack." Seeing Yuu standing still on the screen, Akina Amaho couldn't help but speak up.
Gong You obediently controlled her character to run to that place, and sure enough, the next round of attacks went to the left.
Although he wasn't very skilled at first, with Akina Amaho's guidance and Miyaji's silent assistance, Miyayu gradually became more familiar with the movements, and the boss's health steadily decreased.
Akina Amako's eyes widened as she watched the monster's movements on the screen with increasing tension: "Quickly retreat to a distance; its health bar is almost empty, and it's probably about to launch one last large-scale attack."
Neither Miyako nor Miyaji spoke; they simply followed Amaho Akina's instructions and retreated to the wall.
As expected, the final large-scale attack was launched, but both of them were unharmed. The boss was weakened after launching the attack and was easily killed.
Akina Amaho stretched out both palms and happily gave a high five to the two people next to her: "Yay, I won!"
She was happy, took her controller back from Gong You, and started watching the ending.
The ending is heartwarming, typical of RPG games, and the boys' adventure continues.
"This ending was exactly what I expected." Miyaji shook his head.
"Well, anyway, I had a lot of fun." Gong Youtze seemed indifferent. He didn't care much about the plot; what he cared about more was the excitement of defeating the monster, and he hadn't yet shaken off the excitement of just defeating the boss.
“Yes, they had a lot of fun. That’s good. Even though their journey is over, our lives go on.” Akina Amaho nodded.
She felt a little lost about the game's ending, but as soon as she thought about how there were still people by her side, she felt that none of it mattered anymore.
“If you put it that way, then that’s certainly true,” Miyaji said.
Now, he seems to understand Amaho Akina's thoughts a little better.
Yes, this ending is good, but more importantly... it's about the people who played this game together.
Therefore, the ending of this game doesn't really matter, since there are other more important things to consider.
"Alright, it's almost dinner time. What should we eat tonight?" Gong You stretched and leaned back on the sofa without any regard for his image.
"How about... we go out for barbecue?" Akina Amako hesitated for a moment.
She didn't want to cook dinner—it was the first day of the new year, and she didn't want a life of constant toil.
Let's just go out to eat.
Gong Zhi had no objection: "That barbecue restaurant should still be open now, let's go together."
As luck would have it, the coupons I didn't use last time can be used this time.
“This time it’s on me.” And just like that, Amako Akina made her decision.
"How could we let you treat us? We'll be coming to your place for the next few days." Gong You scratched his hair, feeling rather embarrassed.
After all, we won't be going out to eat every day for the next few days, so we'll have to trouble Mina to prepare.
The thought of this made Gong You feel a little guilty, and he was even considering whether to give Mina some money, but Mina didn't lack money.
"It's alright, it's New Year's anyway, as long as everyone has a good time today." Akina Amami smiled.
Gong You wanted to say something in rebuttal, but Gong Zhi tugged at his arm, signaling him to stop talking, so Gong You shut up.
The three of them had already left and were heading towards the station.
Gong You turned to Gong Zhi and whispered, "Why did you stop me just now?"
He was still hoping to persuade Minna, even though the chances were slim, he had to give it a try.
"Let her treat us today. Anyway, I'll help out for the next few days. As for you... you probably won't be of much help." Gong Zhi said, while glancing at Gong You up and down.
"Hey, what gives you the right to say that?" Gong You said, somewhat displeased.
“After all, you can’t cook, and you’ll only make things worse if you go into the kitchen.” Gong Zhi rolled his eyes.
Gong You rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk to him anymore. He took a few steps forward and stood next to Tian Sui Ming Nai, exhaling a puff of white breath: "Um, what are we going to do for the next few days? Are we going to eat out every day?"
Akina Amane thought about it and realized that eating out every day would be convenient, but not very healthy.
"Hmm... never mind, it's healthier to cook it myself. You can come to my house for meals for the next few days." She patted her hand.
“However, on the other hand, you all have a rare holiday with so much time on your hands, so you must need to train, right? In that case, the modeling work must continue.” She held up her finger and shook it.
Gong You blinked. He had no objection to the decision: "Okay, I agree. Mina, you'd better draw me a few more this time."
Akina Amamiya: "As for this, it depends on my inspiration."
Miyaji also came up: "In that case, I'll come and help Mina later."
Akina Amane knew Miyaji's skill level, so she nodded and readily agreed.
Gong Zhi gave Gong You a triumphant smile, but Gong You turned his face away, pretending not to see it.
The three of them went to a barbecue restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal. When it came time to pay the bill, Gong Zhi still took out the coupon.
Gong You thought to himself that he had really miscalculated. No wonder Gong Zhi stopped him back then. It turned out that he had already planned to use this method to increase the favorability of Tian Sui Ming Nai!
After dinner, the three of them returned to Akina Amaho's house.
