Chapter 75 - 74. The World Outside The Box
Dazed, Sarah found herself being led by a firm hand to a...dungeon.
Well...it was actually a basement, but whoever built the place must have been a fan of fantasy RPG games because they decorated the door and the hallway like a medieval castle’s dungeon. Brick walls, torch scones--the whole thing.
Which was weird, because the place itself was an arcade. The medieval interior felt jarring with neon lights, flashing screens, and electronic music. The place was filled with people wearing everyday clothes and costumes; mingling and competing, celebrating and bickering; the chaos slammed Sarah in the face the moment she stepped into the room. The dungeon.
"What...is this place?" Sarah blinked in a daze. It was rather over-stimulating for a homebody.
Which was perhaps why Hajin brought her there.
"You need to play games outside of your room, Master."
At the reply uttered with a grin, Sarah bit her lips. She knew what the place was, but unlike a PC room, arcades were a place that would feel awkward if one were to come alone. And so, while she wanted to, she couldn’t come before.
This time, however, she wasn’t alone.
"Oof--" Sarah yelped quietly when a cap was pressed onto her head, hiding her red hair. She might not be a celebrity, but who knew who would see her and snap a picture?
"Now," Hajin took her hand again and flashed a cheeky smile. "Why don’t we play to our heart’s content?"
