Chapter 10: Making the First Arcade Console
After gaining Zanichi's approval, Zaboru wasted no time. "Alright, this is it. I need to move quickly and make the most out of this opportunity," he thought as he grabbed his wallet and headed out to the largest electronics store in town. This time, the console he planned to build would have enhanced performance, even if it meant compromising on weight or design.

When Zaboru arrived at the electronics store he frequented, the familiarity of the place comforted him. Strolling through the aisles, he grabbed components with purpose. "I need better power output... stronger processors... and something to hold it all together," he muttered under his breath. As he approached the cashier, Hinoko, his acquaintance, greeted him with a teasing smile.
"Huh? Another big project, Zabo?"
"Yup, Hino-san," Zaboru replied with a grin. "This one's going to be even better, but I might need to come back for more later."
Hinoko chuckled as she bagged his items. "Alright then, genius. That'll be 38,000 yen this time."
Zaboru quickly handed over the money, excitement bubbling inside him. "This is just the start," he thought as he walked out of the store, his arms laden with bags.
