TAKA! TAKA! TAKA! My fingers rapidly pressed the L and R buttons of my piano black PSP. The grunts of my in-game charater and the sound of metal clashing rang in the room.
A loud blast signaled the end of the battle. CONFLICT END read the screen. I stretched out in the bed that I layed.
"Uwaaaaaaaa!", I let out a huge sigh.
Dear Lord, please bless those that translated Final Fantasy Type-0!! May they have the strenght and drive to keep doing what big companies refuse to do! They're absolute heroes of this day and age!! 人(_ _*)
"Ate, why are you into still playing on a PSP, its already 2016.", Taiichi said facing his desk. He was typing and doing some editing on his videos across the room from where I was.
"You don't understand!", I tried to get him to see my point of veiw, "This an amazing piece of technology I am holding in my hands!!".
He continued his work in disbelief of my words.
"Plus... I kinda don't have any money for a PS Vita...".
My brother staggered at that last part as if to say, 'So thats the real reason...'.
My brother and I hardly get along. Because one expresses and acts in accordance to their Eastern side, while the other tries to conform to the American environment. Its not like I don't like America or anything its just...
I not happy...?
Anyway! Today is a rare occasion. Every once-in-a-while, we seem to get past our differences and invite each other to hang out in our rooms. Today, I'm chilling in Taiichi's.
"What are you even fiddling with there Taiichi?". My hands were soon put into action as the words Combat Begin flashed on the PSP screen.
"Its a new movie that I've been making with the guys.", he continued, "Its a collaboration of all our channels.".
I never knew YouTube would ever take off the way it has been lately. Back in 2012, all I remember is looking up cat videos because thats all it kinda was for. Now Taiichi is caught up in all this business.
Maybe I should get involved with an organization too... It might make my life a little less boring at home. Then again, I'd have to keep up with it all and it would just be another source of stress for me.
I put those thoughts aside for a moment. Conflict End. I paused my game and put the system in sleep mode and hopped up to my feet using Taiichi's bed as a launch pad.
"Hup!"
"Going somewhere?".
"I'm going to head off to fix and grab my scooter.".
"Oh you mean the one you wrecked with a tree or something?"
"I told you! Three mysterious motorcyclists jumped me!"
"Uh-huh.", he doubted, "You have one crazy imagination Ate.".
And it came to pass that in the morning of the third day of the sixth month of the year 2016, another great dispute between the Saruhashi siblings began to unfold.
"Fine then! Don't believe me...", I sternly said and then grabbed my stuff. I left his room and placed all my belongings back in mine.
Entering the battlefield once again!
I got dressed to go outside, went into the garage and took out a spare inner tube from a metal drawer. Tossing everything I needed for the fix into my Pusheen bag, I backtracked into the house to the front door.
