Lee Han found himself uncomfortable under the scrutiny of his peers and superiors. He decided to explain the situation, saying, "It was KiShin Electronics that rented the space. They own a video game machine that's now turning a profit."
This revelation led to a series of reactions among the managers. One of them questioned, "You knew about this all along, and you didn't inform the General Manager about it?"
Another chimed in, "We could have acquired that video game machine ours...

Shin arrived at the Ikeburo Center alone while Mira was still sleeping. She wasn't much of an early riser, especially after the tiring task of assembling the three video game consoles with Shin.
Upon arrival, Shin visited Manager Han to hire some people to collect the coins from the video game machines. Both Shin and Manager Han were taken aback by the substantial number of 10-yen coins they had collected.
Lee Han asked Shin with confusion, "Mr. Suzuki, I've been meaning to ask ...

"What's the matter, Manager Han?" Shin asked.
Shin wondered why Manager Han would call so early in the morning.
"Mr. Suzuki, you'll be surprised to know that many people are already playing your video game machines," Manager Han's voice sounded through the phone.
Shin was quite surprised, but he replied calmly, "Really? That's great."
"You don't seem surprised," Manager Han chuckled.
"Hehe, I just like to act calm," Shin said with a smile.

Shin experienced losses in the rental income from Ikeburo Entertainment since only a few people had visited the previous day.
However, this Sunday, Shin anticipated a change, especially after personally informing the children about it.
He continued to work on programming his computer, with his current budget standing at 183,000 yen.
With a sigh, he returned to his programming, working on a new game he was developing for Seikatsu.
Despite the initial setbacks, he wa...

As they strolled along, Mira inquired of Shin, "Are you genuinely confident that those children who received stickers will actually become aware of our game machine at Ikeburo Entertainment?"
Shin shook his head and admitted, "No, I'm not sure at all. I was running low on budget, so I took a gamble with those stickers. I have no idea if those youngsters will even notice them."
In frustration, Mira grabbed Shin and exclaimed, "Then why did you appear so sure about it?! You basica...

In the office of Ikeburo Entertainment, a middle-aged man cast a glance at the gaming machine that featured ping pong and Tetris, recently relocated to his office by his diligent workers.
This man was Lee Han, a Korean who had ventured to Japan in 1985 for work. Through his intelligence and diligence, he had ascended to the position of manager at Ikeburo Entertainment.
Lee Han's gaze fell upon the game machine that now resided in his office, and his eyes welled with a sense of m...

The children formed a line to play while the adults observed the scene, intrigued but hesitant to join in. They didn't want to be seen as children; this was an activity reserved for the younger generation.
As the sun began to set, it was finally time to head home. Mira watched Shin as he carefully loaded the TV onto the hand truck and carried the gaming console.

Chapter 147: Historical Text
Perhaps it was something unsavory that happened 800 years ago, something unfavorable to the World Government, and they artificially erased 100 years of history.
But there are still scattered stones around the world that record that history. There are about 30 of these stones, and it seems that no matter what method is used, they cannot be destroyed.
In their plan to cover up history, the World Government couldn't locate all of these stones or ...

At KiShin Electronics, or rather, in what looked more like an old apartment, a few days had passed, and Shin had already recovered from his sickness.
On the floor, six video game consoles were neatly lined up, bearing the name Seikatsu. Their design resembled that of Nintendo's first console, featuring a red and white casing.
Mira gazed at the setup, noticing the twelve controllers, which were small, red, and white, reminiscent of the NES controllers from Shin's previous life.

"You're awake."

Feeling weary, Shin decided to take a break at McDo for a moment. However, his attention was drawn to a young woman who had just been rejected for something. He found himself strangely interested, perhaps because the young woman appeared beautiful, youthful,...

"Is this the child you were talking about?" Even with his height, Neptune had to look up at Wadatsumi – who was currently only showing his head.
Wadatsumi cautiously "hid" behind the ship, observing Neptune "secretly," like an adult trying to hide behind their phone.
His round, chubby head, making such movements, unexpectedly appeared cute.

At this moment, the shark giant was still carrying Wadatsumi forward, looking like a shark that had lost its dreams.
