The Winner of the Shooting Contest

Chizuru-san and I talked for a while and then went back to the living room.

There, I saw Yuzuru and my father talking amicably.

My father is always busy, so this is a rare opportunity for him.

“How was it? Ryo’s game skills.”

My father asked Chizuru.

“It was amazing! It made me realize that he is the best in the world.”

“Well, I’m glad I could be of some help.”

“Yes, thank you, Chief.”

“Sure.”

My father was on his third can of highball and seemed to be getting very drunk.

“Ryo, have you ever actually fired a gun before?”

Chizuru-san asked me.

“No, because I’m in Japan.”

Japan is not a gun society like America.

It is illegal to even own a gun in Japan.

“Don’t you want to try shooting?”

“Well, I’m a professional FPS gamer, so I guess I could try it as an experience.”

I have never wanted to actually shoot a gun, but I would be interested in shooting competitively.

“Have you ever been to the U.S. or anywhere else?”

“I went once for the Pro-hopple world championship, but that was about it.”

The company that runs Pro-hopple has a branch office in the U.S., so when I participated in the world championships, they were held in the U.S.

But I only went to the convention and didn’t get to do any sightseeing.

“Then what about the next tournament?”

“The Asian Games are in Japan because the head office is in Japan.”

The representative of Luhg is Japanese.

The head office is in Japan.

“I don’t know where the World Convention will be yet, but I have a feeling it will be in the U.S. again.”

“Then, I can teach you then, can’t I?”

“Eh, is that okay? You have to work…”

Chizuru-san is also a member of the Investigation Section, a top-ranking department in the Metropolitan Police Department.

She must be pretty busy.

“Who do you think is my immediate superior?”

“Oh, I see.”

Chizuru-san’s immediate superior is my father.

I wonder if he’ll say it’s all right.

“If the world championships are held at the same time as last year, it will coincide with my shooting competition, so I will be going to the U.S., too, I think.”

“I see. I see. If that is the case, I would be very happy to have you there!”

“I’ll have to come. I’ve been to the U.S. many times so I can show you around.”

“That’s very encouraging.”

But the first step is to get a ticket.

If we do not achieve excellent results at the Asian Games, we will not have a chance to participate in the World Championships.

There is only a short time left before the Asian Games.

“First of all, I will do my best in the Asian Games.”

“I’ll be rooting for you.”

“That’s right if you don’t mind, this is it. If you can take a break, please come and visit us.”

I handed Chizuru a ticket to the Asian Games.

“Are you sure? Such a precious thing.”

“It’s fine. I want people like Chizuru-san to come and support me.”

I got about ten tickets to give away to my friends and family.

Even if I distributed them to my family, some would still be left over.

If that is the case, I want these people to come and see the show.

“I’ll take them gratefully then.”

Saying this, Chizuru-san put the tickets away in her purse.
