How a Hero Lives as a Writer - How a Hero Lives as a Writer chapter 114

114 – War of nerves of the losers (4)

Preach the new culture of Pokéball to Mare.

I was so immersed in that part that I couldn’t really enjoy Pokéball myself.

The last time I enjoyed playing pool was demonstrating it in front of merchants.

After that, I was busy with writing activities, so I didn’t have time to enjoy playing pool.

So Teresa’s suggestion was a welcome surprise to me as well.

“Let’s start with the gloves on.”

“Yes.”

“Then come this way.”

I placed the white balls after arranging them by putting them in a triangular frame.

“Do you know your posture?”

“Yes. But it’s a bit difficult….”

“I’ll take a look, so try it.”

I don’t know why they say it’s difficult.

When I asked her to hold her posture and try it, Teresa lowered her upper body and took the cue.

… It was a chest.

I bent my upper body so much that my chest touched the table.

Of course it would have been difficult if I had been playing Pokéball with this attitude from the start.

“I bent my upper body too much.”

“Is that so?”

Teresa lifted herself from the table, feeling startled.

Then the mid reacting to her movement made a pretty violent movement, so I felt embarrassed.

If it hadn’t been for Angelica, my friend would have reacted right away.

“I’m going to adjust my posture, so would you like to imitate me?”

“Yes!”

Perhaps it was because my tone had become softer, Theresa seemed more comfortable with me than before.

I came back a long way.

I wish it had been like this from the beginning.

“It’s comfortable to keep your upper body up a little like this.”

As I got into my posture, Teresa imitated me and got into my posture.

Her posture seemed fine.

“Now, let’s hit the ball to separate the balls that are clumped over there.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Hmm?”

“… It can not?”

Is it fashionable to call you teacher these days?

He is like this and Reina is like that too.

“Call it what you feel comfortable with.”

“Yes, sir!”

Teresa said she poised like an excited child and then she hit the ball.

“Uh, uh uh?”

It was a splendid beep.

The ball didn’t just roll around, it went right into the hole with good dexterity.

An awkward silence hung over the room.

Jumping!

What silenced the silence was the sound of a white ball falling.

Without a word, I took a white ball and got into position.

“With my left hand, hold the cue steady, and with my right hand.”

Tak! There was a sound and the balls that had been clumped together began to scatter here and there.

“If you become a little more skilled, the ball will go into your first ball, but the goal is to scatter it anyway, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“… Yes.”

Theresa drooped her shoulders, feeling a bit down in her.

I felt like a puppy that got caught in the rain. For some reason, I began to feel sorry for myself.

If this was acting, it would be at a level where a teenager could hit Reina’s cheek back and forth.

“Okay, let’s try again.”

I hurriedly set the ball again so Theresa would not be embarrassed.

Then I decided to pay a little more attention to my posture so that the same thing as before would not happen.

“Fix your posture first.”

Teresa’s body was in a state of shrinking, probably because of her previous experience of failure.

It was like a child who thought he would be scolded by me if he made another mistake.

From noble mtl dot com

I think the same result would come out no matter what.

“Teresa, stay still.”

“Yes?”

Sure.

I slowly reached for Theresa’s arm to keep her from straining.

Then theresa caught her eyes, not a little flustered.

“It’s easier than beating monsters. Take a slow deep breath, yes, like that.”

Teresa’s breathing stabilized.

So this time, the results will be different.

I thought so, but this time it wasn’t that different from before.

Robbering.

Toouk.

The white ball that rolled effortlessly came into contact with the Poké Balls that were clumped together.

I’m sure the motor nerves aren’t bad….

I took the ball without further ado and put it back in its original place.

“Teresa. I think my body is very stiff. I’d like to help, would it be okay if I contacted you?”

“Yes? Oh that….”

Teresa was so flustered that she backed away and bumped her body into the pokeball stand.

“Yes, yes… please.”

Still, he seemed to have judged that it would not go ahead like this, so he quietly asked for help.

Even if an embarrassing situation arises, you can’t stay like this forever.

I want to try it soon too, so when should I hit it!

I decided to hurry up and get Theresa into position.

“First of all, hold her posture like before.”

Teresa took her stance again, and I decided to take a little more daring action on her stance than before.

She became an embarrassing posture as if something attacked from behind, but if she quickly corrects her posture, this embarrassing time should be reduced.

“Now, try to hit the ball like before.”

“Yeah….”

Teresa, slightly cringing, tried to hit the ball again.

At that moment, a very subtle change took place in her left hand.

I hurriedly grabbed the cue.

“Ah.”

The tip of the cue lightly tapped the white ball, and the ball moved about 10 cm before stopping.

Well, I think I know now.

“Her left hand went too far.”

Theresa was treating her cue like her spear.

So, the moment I was about to hit the ball, I felt that too much power went into my whole body, and that power was being transmitted to my left hand as well.

As the left hand puts strength into it, it seems that the direction of the cue is automatically misaligned, resulting in this result.

“Let’s try again.”

I took the ball, put it back, and went behind Theresa.

“In her posture, her left hand feels like a stand… Yes, like that.”

Perfect!

As expected, good results come out right away if you correct your posture.

It was a great break shot.

“Now, the ball went in, right? Since you entered the belt, let’s keep aiming for the belt.”

“Yes, thank you!”

Theresa must have been quite agitated, breathing hard and her face flushed.

I know that feeling well.

I remember the first time I went to a billiard room with my friends.

Teresa began to look around the pool table as she hugged her cue.

It seemed like he was contemplating what angle to throw the ball at.

Then, as if I had found a good position, I put the ball down and took my posture.

Obviously, the positioning was good, and the ball I was aiming for went in….

The problem is that the white ball also went into the hole.

“Ah.”

“It’s okay. You can learn while doing it.”

It won’t take too long since it’s easy to learn.

“Teresa, billiards is more of a mental pastime than you think.”

“Yes?”

“Look carefully.”

I put the free ball down in a good position to put it in and got into my stance.

“You can’t see it from there, so please come a little closer.”

“Oh yes!”

Theresa pressed close to my side.

I was conscious of her gaze and stance.

“It can be used in many ways, depending on which part of the ball is hit and how the cue is used.”

I continued to explain the basics of billiards.

Teresa then began to watch my movements, a little startled.

This is a simple game on the surface, but actually quite brainy.

Skills I learned by stealing jajangmyeon countless times?

“Now, would you like to try it yourself?”

“It’s not my turn….”

“Let’s get used to it this time, and let’s do it properly from the next one.”

“Yes, sir.”

Still, given the principle, he seemed to be following along well, so it felt like his motor nerves weren’t too bad.

“Okay, now you know everything, right?”

Theresa nodded her head confidently at my question.

Don’t! Shall we come together?

Theresa felt this kind of spirited atmosphere.

Tsk tsk.

He is a foolish middle school student.

Even if I haven’t been to a pool hall for a long time, do you think I’ll lose to someone I just learned?

Forms are temporary, but classes are permanent.

I’ll show you the difference!

……

…

In conclusion, I did win.

It is natural.

It’s something I learned while being robbed until my wallet became lighter, but would I lose to someone I just learned today if I let go a little bit?

“Haa… You are doing well too.”

“But if I do a little more, I might win that much.”

“Is that so?”

I wasn’t kidding.

Teresa’s learning speed was beyond my imagination, and I felt like she could easily beat me in a week.

I seem to have a fighting spirit, so I keep trying, but honestly, I was a little scared because I was afraid I would lose.

“Then can’t you play just one more game?”

“… We will do it here for today.”

I looked out the window while saying that.

The sun that had risen outside the window was already in mid-sky.

Usually, I tend to go home before noon, even after I finish morning services and work.

But today I had so much fun playing Pokéball that I was so engrossed in it that a lot of time had passed.

It seems that Angelica is worried, and in the afternoon she has to prepare a new dessert to show at the academy, and she also has an interview with the merchant.

I guess I’ll have to go back now.

“Don’t worry, I’ll come over on the Sabbath to play this billiards.”

“Yes, take a look.”

Teresa must have taken my words as a joke. She saw me off with a slight smile on her lips.

I got on the carriage and was lost in thought while receiving Teresa’s send-off.

I enjoyed playing pool with Teresa.

But honestly, it was a bit difficult.

Teresa’s skills improved rapidly, which made her nervous, but the biggest problem was her natural beauty.

I didn’t know billiards was such an erotic game….

It seems that gravity is working twice as hard only for Theresa.

Thanks to that, they kept reacting, so I couldn’t even show half of my skills.

I need to quickly make a uniform suitable for billiards and stop such cowardly beauties.

Whew… Something has been solved and a new job has increased.

Anyway, the hero of this generation felt like he hadn’t been able to become the owner of the world.
