After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1160

There were also many aborigines who were unused to such festivities and felt incredibly overwhelmed— but in a good way.

Shinho and the others were like this. This was their first big event in Alterra—ever, really. 1

Primarily, they had been busy working, hunting, and gaining contribution points the past months. Among the newcomers, people like them—refugees from aborigine villages—were among the least advantaged people.

They weren’t strong enough like those people from Towns, and they weren’t smart, innovative, and creative enough like those from Terran villages.

Alterra was rising quickly—everyone felt it—and they had to catch up before it became a Town.

As such, they hadn’t been to the activity areas like arcades and stadiums at all. Their leisure time was in parks and treating themselves in some restaurants. So one could imagine how wide their eyes were the entire night.

While there was also a minor ’6 month celebration’ back then, it was only a small performance as well as discounts on the stores. This anniversary event made sure every inch of public space in the territory had activity.

To be honest, such a big celebration, in their minds, were only seen in Cities, and it was amazing they could experience it now.

The twins Ferra and Fona were holding hands as they perused the place with their families. They just watched at first, a bit shy about joining in. They were girls, after all. 1

On the other hand, their families were enjoying things unabashedly, after seeing everyone else. It was as if the atmosphere of Alterra inclined people to do so—and they were carried along with it.

Then soon even the twins started joining the games and the next moment they were yelling with everyone else.

It was like their whole souls were set free, and they could just express themselves without having to care about proper feminine behavior.

They had never had so much fun in their lives.

…

Most of the stalls were particularly competitive, but there were some more than others.

For instance, in another park, there was a Skee-ball game, wherein the contestants would roll balls up a ramp to score points assigned to different holes.

With the hard-mode levels of arcade games here, this required very high coordination and accuracy.

The ball was not only a little heavy, the incline was harsher and more varied. The holes were also much narrower than the ones in Terran, and it was incredibly easy to miss.

Anyway, a certain chubby soldier was actually losing to a quirky nurse.

The current score was 18-19, with Mao on the losing side.

It started out relatively innocently, the competitors were just passing acquaintances and hadn’t even exchanged more than 2 words in the past few months.

The girl’s name was Lea, the nurse who was apprenticing under Dr. Cynthia in the Ob-gyn and Pediatrics department.

Their games had just happened to be side-by-side with each other. However, when the girl made an impressive shot, Mao ended up missing the same shot, the nurse coughed, covering her mouth to stop a giggle from coming out.

She didn’t laugh out loud, but it offended Mao very much. When the girl would miss and he would hit his shot, he’d laugh, shaking his head, and muttering commentaries like ’tsk tsk, should’ve rolled harder’ or ’Tsktsk, should’ve gone to a different angle’ and so on.

This irked the girl very much and started being more expressive with her commentaries as well.

It went on until the current scene, with increasing anger and annoyance on their faces, and more and more words exchanged until they were no longer veiled—just direct insults to the other. The friends who were there with them could only cover their faces in embarrassment.

They didn’t even remember what the prize was at this point.

Flop!

"Missed another one? HAHAHHAHA—are you really a soldier? Every one of them are cool, what are you?"
