"They're here! They're here!

nHis royal highnesses are here!

"

n(^0^)

nEveryone excited cheered as they watched the entourage of cars drive towards the venue.

nSome even had tears in their eyes, jumping and hugging one another, as if they had just survived some disaster.

nLittle Momo and Linda looked at these people through the window and nodded, in satisfaction, feeling like heroes.

nAfter all, without them, their brother Landon might not have even made it on time.

nVrrrrrrrmmmmmm!

nThe cars drove amidst the crowd until they reached the building ahead.

nThe doors opened, and the royals and all others in the vehicles exited merrily.

nForget about the people being excited. Do you know how excited they were?

nSome government officials were already standing by the red ribbon, alongside the investors and Director of the newly built Arcade center.

n

"Welcome, your majesty.

"

n

"Welcome, your highnesses!

"

n

"Welcome!

"

nThose by the ribbons shook the hands of Landon, Lucy, Lucia and the other royals with big warm smiles on their faces.

nWho wouldn't be happy on such a glorious day?

nThe greetings were brief and short, less the audience does from anxiety.

nFollowing that, the director, a few officials, Landon, Mother Kim and Javis (Lucia's brother), all stood alongside the long red ribbon with giant scissors in their hands.

nThe news reporters captured the scene as best as possible, with their minds still thinking of the perfect front page for the event later on.

nLooking at the scene, everyone's heart drummed loudly as a wave of bright emotions flooded their minds.

nWell, at first, it was all bright and sunny, but soon, they felt like stunning the speaker ahead.

nF***!

nWho the hell hired this guy?

n.

n

"Today is another historical day in Baymard.

nWe, as people, have come a long way.

nWe... Blah, blah, blah....

"

nEveryone felt like they were about to go crazy.

nThey rolled their hearts and even got tempted to take off their shoes and smack the guy in the face.

nWas this really the time for this?

n

"Boooo!

nCut the ribbon!

"

n

"No one cares. Just cut the ribbon already!

"

n(:T^T:)

nThe speaker felt like crying.

nNo wonder none of the other newly appointed managers wanted to take this job.

nIf even the director didn't want to take it, why did he volunteer?

nHe now understood why everyone avoided doing this task.

nThe audience was going crazy, but was it really his fault?

nHe was just doing his job and reading the paper they gave him, alright?

nSeeing his superiors beside him avoid his pitiful gaze as if they didn't see anything, he couldn't help but think of them as shameless.

nIt all made sense to him now

nFortunately, his speech would soon be over.

nLandon and everyone else who was familiar with such a scene chuckled.

nHello? This was Baymard they were talking about.

nSo it was indeed expected.

nSoon, it was time for the actual ribbon-cutting ceremony to begin.

nThe audience finally clapped merrily as they watched Landon, Javis and the rest hold their scissors against the ribbon.

n

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

"

n~Clip~~

nThe ribbon was cut down, causing a wave of excitement from the audience.

nHahahahhahaha.

nNow, nothing could get in their way anymore.

n

"The arcade Center is now open for all!

"

n~Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap~~~

n

"Yes! Finally, we can get in.

"

n

"As expected, the heavens truly reward the patient. I feel like crying.

"

n

"Let's go! Let's go! It's time to witness the magic!

"

n.

nAs if being fed some magical chicken broth, Little Momo, Linda and their friends stormed in like the Flash, while Landon and the rest calmly walked behind them.

n

n

nThe sight before them made them freeze in shock.

nTheir hands trembled as they scanned the unique and awe-striking appearance of the place.

nF***!

nIt was big and beautiful.

nIt made them feel like tiny ants running around a room.

nWhy? Because just after passing through the front desk lobby area, one would then head into the most enormous room they had ever seen.

nThere were no walls in the place, making everything feel overly large.

nAnd, even though it was filled with games, due to the unique arrangements, the place still felt very spacious.

nActually, one could say that the place was the size of a massive casino.

nThat's right.

nThey made that thing.

nBut rather than gambling, the place was filled with all sorts of games

nThere were thousands and thousands lined up, making little Momi and the rest confused on where to begin.

nWhat should they do?

nDecisions, decisions.

nThe boys scratched their heads in confusion.

nCould this be what their sisters and lady friends always felt like whenever they went through their closet or when shopping?

nAt first, they never fully understood what went into their minds.

nBut now, they felt like they did.

nLooking at the Paradise of games around them, they felt weak and helpless.

nWhat should they do?

n.

nWhen it came to pinball games, there were so many themed ones there..like those based on the Indiana Jones movie they watched, Cinderella, Power Rangers, Game of Thrones, The Adams family, Jurassic Park and so on.

nBut that wasn't all.

nApart from those based on shows and movies, others were based on popular novels that they read, like the latest Batman, GhostBusters, Lord of the rings, etc.

nIn fact, there were so many pinball machines.

nAnother famous game was Pachinko.

nThe pachinko machines here were the old ones used during world war II, before they got computerized.

nBut that was just one of the many types of games here.

nThere were also claw-grabbing games, where they could fetch rises from glass boxes.

nAgain, there were many Pac-Man machines there too.

nIn short, there were so many games to choose from, leaving everyone weak.

nTheir eyes darted back and forth as they started at the massive space filled with thousands and thousands of machines.

nWhich one should they choose first?

nAnd more importantly, would it be possible for them to play all these games today?

nSigh... Why was life so hard?
