Chapter 212: D-125   The cheering song for you, obscured in silhouette once again, unveiled the protagonist of "Vol.2." Unlike the gentle melodies of Erica, this band music, resonating with electric guitars right from the start, was vibrant enough to mimic a concert venue.

Though concealed by silhouette, the second protagonist, revealing a sensual physique, distinctly contrasted with Erica's character.

"Gravitating against gravity, my heart beats for you.

Do you know, my beating heart inside? In the galaxy of fantasies, sliding moments into a poison sea.

Yet, I won't stop.

Boldly crossing even time, I'll approach you with a daring kiss." The lyrics might seem cheesy, but the second Virtual Idol, Cheryll, pierced hearts with her singing prowess.

While Erica's songs warmed with gentle lyrics and soothing vocals, Cheryll's style was as refreshing as an empty highway.

"Wow...

those high notes gave me chills!" "Introducing a new character right after revealing Erica's face...

what a move!" "Ah, I liked Erica when she debuted, but this character feels so much sexier?" "Sister...

or maybe a queen...? Either way, I'm sold.

Totally my type!" The screen highlighted her sleek waistline and long hair, completely diverting the students' attention away from Erica.

"Whoa!!! So sexy!!" "If only the silhouette would disappear...

I want to see her face.

Why keep us in suspense since the divine reveal...?" "She's bound to be beautiful if Morita-san from Pentagon's involved! Just his participation gets us this hyped!" The mere association with Morita had stirred such anticipation.

Morita's artistic talent was an icon of trust among gamers.

As I watched the video with the students, I couldn't help but smile at Cheryll's sensual allure, radiating in iridescent colors.

Soon after Cheryll's second video ended, amidst the students' excitement, I addressed them with a slight smile.

"That concludes Cheryll's 'Beating Heart' from Virtual Idol.

Did you enjoy it?" "Yes!!" Their thunderous response made verbal replies unnecessary.

"From Tokyo this time!? Nice!!" "Last time it was Osaka, right? Why this pattern?" Pattern? Of course, there was one.

Each song's release location related to the singers' birthplaces.

If this trend continued, the third song might premiere in Hokkaido.

Among various speculative conversations, I silently held the mic, continuing the seminar.

"Moving on to Complete Laon's launch, we've unveiled two new works.

Hope you enjoyed them." The students' applause, akin to wildfire, answered my query.

"Now, finally, let's reveal information about Pentagon's latest handheld console, Complete Laon." "Wow!!!" Just then, as the enthusiastic students cheered, nearing the end of Seminar 1, the teacher signaled the seminar's imminent closure to me.

Did I take too long discussing Sensony before this Part 2? About 10 minutes remained for the seminar.

'Phew...

this might get hectic.' --- "Next-Gen Console Complete Laon: Shock Announcement in Unexpected Location." Last week, at a gaming industry seminar in Tokyo, Pentagon unexpectedly announced details about their next-gen model, Complete Laon.

"Users will eagerly await the return of Nintendo.

Until then, we won't pay attention to who dominates the market.

Project 64...

no, it's now officially called Nintendo 64.

Our flagship director, Shigeru Kumamoto, will showcase a 3D world that surpasses all existing games, including the Mario series." "Once again, the next-generation console will be accompanied by a new Super Mario." "Of course.

Super Mario is the iconic character of Nintendo.

Also, the newly produced ROM cartridge has increased its memory capacity by about ten times compared to the previous ones.

As users utilize cartridges, we promise a smooth gaming experience without loading times." Looking at the interview article and the photo of President Kamauuchi, his hair had turned completely white.

'Ha...

a lot of time has passed.

His hair is completely white now...' But judging by his words in the interview, his tough and stubborn personality seemed unchanged.

If anything, the deep-set wrinkles made him look even more determined.

Maybe it's due to the wrinkles that he appears more stubborn than before? After parting ways with Sony, Nintendo 64, completely abandoning the previous project, was a manifestation of President Kamauuchi's desire to proceed according to his stubbornness.

Especially considering the license cost of the high-capacity cartridge newly installed this time was enough to make third-party developers hesitate to sign contracts with Nintendo.

Although they increased the capacity by ten times compared to before, putting in the popular voice system these days is still challenging due to the significantly limited space compared to CDs.

"Phew...

President Kamauuchi is getting old, but he's still sharp.

His voice is hoarse...

I thought my ears were going to itch to death during the interview." "Well, that stubborn personality.

Where would he go?" "That's true." But, there wasn't much time left.

The console shouldn't be too ahead or too behind in this era.

If NEGA's console failed because it was too ahead of its time...

Nintendo 64 failed because it was too behind the times...

D-80 days left.

Can Pentagon's Complete Laon catch up with the flow of the times? Whether one likes it or not, that day was gradually approaching.
