On one sunny afternoon, an elated Erika met Prapor
Erika Mister Prapor! Big news! Great news!
Prapor Ah, what made you so happy?
Erika Unity City is hosting a *LARGE* video game exhibition, they claim to have hundreds of games and equipment, even thousands of games that have never seen the market!
Prapor No wonder why you’re so happy. Now you can play tons of new games.
Prapor (Karula must be worried sick…The retro-anime shop that used to be owned by Ishtar is now run by her, if there are any actions by her competitors, her business will lose out to competition. However, an exhibition this big must be backed by the management committee, so she doesn’t have much say in this.)
Erika It’s not just about a new game! The moment has finally arrived for all players to rise up and take charge! Even that stiff, high-and-mighty young noble has to swallow his pride and beg me!
Prapor And why is that?
Erika That’s because the big shots in the committee really value this exhibition! They intend to seize this opportunity to drive the development of the gaming industry!
Prapor So the plan is to build gaming consoles in JDR, and create a gaming industry? If that succeeds, that would be fantastic.
Erika Top brass is even asking every department to conduct “deep investigative research” into the game industry! Those old hicks at the Security Bureau don’t know a thing about video games, so Julius asked me to write an investigation report…
Erika Hmph! The higher-ups always pull a long face whenever they catch me playing games, but when a critical moment like this rolls around, who else are they going to rely on but me?
Prapor What a glorious mission! As the Security Bureau’s top gaming expert, Erika is finally about to make a name for herself.
Erika But……
Prapor But what?
Erika But I absolutely hate writing! Especially this research report, it has to be a formal, official document, too...
Erika I dug up some reports that had been submitted by the department previously, hoping to use them as a reference, but honestly... the jargon-heavy, convoluted language is completely beyond me. How on earth am I supposed to write something like that?!
Erika So, Prapor~
Prapor Ah?
Erika I know you’re capable of doing so many things, Prapor... would you mind... helping me write this report?
A cunning smile appeared on the Prapor’s face.
Prapor That's not a good idea, how can I steal Erika's thunder? Option 1 Besides, the fact that the Security Bureau's top gaming expert needs someone else to ghostwrite a research report is a bit... Option 2
Erika Prapor~~only you can help me on this.......i can't talk with my colleagues at the bureau about this, those ladies who I go karaoke and play games with don’t understand such things
Erika Oh, by the way, there's a newly opened Tashkent pilaf restaurant. Prapor, you've always been curious about how the food is... I'd like to invite you to try it... What do you think?
Prapor It's rare for Erika to invite me to dinner, so it seems I have no choice but to help her out.
Erika Yes! I knew Prapor wouldn't stand by and watch someone die!
Prapor Of course, I can't write it for you directly. If the higher-ups see that it's not your writing style, it will give you away.
Erika Oh, that's true.
Prapor So how about this: I'll help you with ideas and direction, and talk about some specific details, and then you can organize them into a report.
Prapor As for the writing style not resembling official documents... you could say it's "internal terminology in the gaming industry", reflecting the report’s "professionalism" and "novelty"!
Erika I know, it's the same old rhetoric Mariana used! The old fogies upstairs all fell silent when they heard this kind of talk, afraid of revealing how out of touch they were…
Prapor So, without further ado, Erika, get your paper and pen ready, let's get started.
Erika Good!
So the two of them sat side by side at the table...
Prapor First, we need to talk about some of the things that have been raised above, for example...
Erika Hmm... For example, the gaming industry can make a lot of money... No, how should I put it? "Promote economic development"?
Prapor That's too general. We need to highlight the key points, such as "the gaming industry can boost consumption and recoup social capital."
Erika That's right! Games definitely boost spending, I spend most of my money on games. Sometimes, to save up for games, I don't eat for days, and when I'm hungry, I just drink water...
Prapor ...Isn't this a bit unhealthy?...
Erika Oh right, this matter must not be included in the report to show off, otherwise the higher-ups will make a big fuss about it.
...You could write it that way, but look at it from a different angle. For example, you could say, "Under the condition of not wasting anything, the public's ability to consume physical goods such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation is limited. After all, a person can only eat three meals a day and wear one set of clothes at a time..."
Erika However, people's spending power on games is limitless! Once they've played a fun game, they want to play a second, a third... and they can never have too many!
Prapor That's right, write it like that.
Erika Okay! ...Alright, that part is finished. What's next...?
Prapor Furthermore, we can also say that developing the gaming industry helps to improve the technological level of the Joint Development Region!
Erika Really? ...I also think game consoles are amazing high-tech, but I just don't know how to prove that they are useful in improving technological levels.
Prapor You could write it like this: In several high-tech local wars, multinational forces have widely used various gaming hardware to assist in operating high-tech equipment, such as drones and nuclear submarines. This shows that gaming technology is now on par with the most advanced military technology.
Erika Therefore, in the future, we might see advanced weapons built entirely using game console technology... for example, autonomous combat robots driven by game console hardware!
Prapor Erika is so smart, you understand things immediately.
Erika Hehehe, looking at it this way, this research report isn't that hard to write.
Prapor Having discussed so many other aspects, we should now connect this to the core business of the security bureau.
Erika Yes... I know how to write it now ,we can also say that developing the gaming industry is beneficial to improving public security!
Prapor Good, good. How does Erika plan to argue this point?
Erika With everyone staying home and engrossed in playing games, naturally no one will be out on the streets fighting, drunk, or causing trouble!
Prapor Yes, yes, you learn very quickly.
Erika Hehehe, could it be, could it be that I'm a genius?
Prapor and Erika continued to brainstorm with great enthusiasm...
Erika Oh, right! Actually, playing games is also good for your physical and mental health; it can strengthen your cardiovascular system!
Prapor Write it in!
Erika Furthermore, playing games can help us understand Earth's history and culture, and can enhance unity and friendship between our two planets!
Prapor Great! Game developers on Earth would be very happy to hear that!
Erika Really? ...I knew I was a genius! ...
After a heated discussion, the paper in front of Erika was filled with writing and various corrections and markings.
Erika Oops, I've written so much without even realizing it! I was worried it would be too short and not pretty enough, but now it seems... I might even have to cut out some parts! What a pity, this is the fruit of my intelligence!
Prapor In that case, Erika's research report should be fine.
Erika Thanks for your help!
Prapor However, I'm curious about something now... Option 1 ...Why did Erika come into contact with games? Option 2
Erika Huh?
Prapor Since we just wrote a lot of high-sounding things, I don't think anyone would fall in love with games for these reasons... So, I'm also curious to know how Erika came to love playing games.
Erika This, this...
Prapor Was it recommended by a friend, or were you attracted by an advertisement?
Erika ...I was set up.
Prapor Huh? ...You can be tricked into playing games?
Erika When I first came to the city, I was very unaccustomed to the environment and didn't know how to dress. I looked very unfashionable, and I felt uncomfortable every time people stared at me.
Erika I also want to try to learn how to dress, wear perfume, dye my hair, and apply lipstick, but no matter what I do, it seems like I only attract ridicule.
Erika At that moment, someone advised me, "Buy this Gamegirl game console I have! It's so trendy, holding it will instantly make you a fashionista!"
Prapor I bet this guy's Gamegirl isn't cheap...
Erika You’re absolutely right! He really ripped me off a huge sum of money!
Erika However, the Gamegirl did have an effect. When I was playing the game console, people looked at me with curiosity, especially after I bought a camera cartridge for the game console. People often asked me to take photos of them!
Erika This is how I established my network and style!
Prapor So now that Erika knows how great games are, you must feel your class elevated, right?
Erika ……
Erika No, not really. Later on, when I was really immersed in the game, I didn't pay attention to other people's opinions at all. I also forgot about connections and style. I was just purely enjoying the fun of the game.
Prapor So, should we include this too, something like "something that allows people to immerse themselves in it and experience pure joy"?
Erika What are you thinking? That's definitely not allowed! That's not what the people upstairs want to see.
Prapor I just feel that it's a rare opportunity for Erika to express her feelings so logically and with such evidence, and it would be a waste not to include it.
Erika What the hell? Prapor you are just messing with me!
Prapor Okay, okay, I meant everything I said, it's okay if it doesn't get included in the report, at least I'll remember it.
This is Erika's true insight as a top gaming expert.
Erika ……
Erika What?! Prapor was really trying to mess with me!
Erika quickly completed her research report and submitted it to Julius…
Julius began to carefully study Erika and Prapor's masterpiece...
Julius Um……
Julius Oh!
Julius Huh?
Julius ……
Erika (I wonder what that young master will say... It should be fine, right? I wrote the final draft myself, so there shouldn't be any trace of Prapor helping me...)
Julius Erika...
Erika W…what?
Julius I really underestimated you! I originally assumed it would fit the bare minimum, but I hadn’t thought your research would be so thorough!
Erika Ehhehe, that’s only natural, I am the top expert when it comes to gaming, after all.
Julius It has certainly been an eye-opener for me as well. I never imagined that video games would be so important amongst the many achievements of Earth’s civilization, nor that they would play such a pivotal role in the planet’s prosperity and advancement!
Erika (Wow, the young master really is easy to fool; she actually believed all the nonsense Prapor and I made up… But then again, it’s better if she did, it’ll make it much easier for my report to be approved!)
Julius It seems that, in order to learn about Earth’s culture properly and become a better knight, I too must improve my skills in video games!
Erika That goes without saying…
Erika Wait, how do you plan to improve?
Julius I’m planning to buy the latest games console, and then play games for at least an hour every day!
Erika Surely there’s no need to go that far, right?
Julius ‘What is learned from books is shallow; to know it thoroughly, one must practice it personally.’ Merely reading Erika’s report is not enough to give me a full understanding of the significance of video games. It seems that hands-on practice is essential!
Erika (Oh no! What if the young master buys himself a super duper cool RGB console? My black-and-white Gamegirl will be completely outshone!)
Erika (What if she channels all that stubborn energy she puts into overthinking things into mastering video games… perhaps she’d soon become an expert and overtake me?)
Erika (*Sobs* What should I do, Mister Prapor?!)
