No Catching Your Girlfriend in a Claw Machine

[*Stages, 1v1 ending]

[Inexperienced heartthrob & all kinds of older and younger sisters]

Tan Yaxi had been unemployed and lazing around at home for two years, helping her uncle mind the shop at his arcade. On Thanksgiving, a sudden gale swept through the sky, and a bolt of golden light struck a claw machine, knocking out power to the entire arcade.

From then on, her life was turned upside down. She became someone everyone adored, like a flower in full bloom that even passersby stopped to admire.

After she casually helped a neighbor's child win a plushie from the claw machine, she bumped into the young woman from the cake shop next door that very day, beginning a new, unexpected encounter.

The girl suddenly had eyes only for Tan Yaxi. She waited for her to get off work at the arcade every day, even bringing her little cakes herself, and asking, "Would you rather like a strawberry cake, or me, your little cake?"

Someone knocked on her door. Her younger neighbor, a college athlete, was suddenly there with tears streaming down her face, saying a mouse had gotten into her home and asking Tan Yaxi to help.

But when Tan Yaxi stepped inside and saw the professional exercise equipment filling the entire place, she fell into thought.

Later, Tan Yaxi noticed a pattern: whenever she fished something out of the claw machine, women would suddenly appear out of nowhere and inexplicably fall in love with her.

One day, weighed down by life, Tan Yaxi went to a nearby cafe to clear her head, only to run into one of her high school classmates.

She thought it would be another beautiful encounter caused by the claw machine's magic. But when the New Year's bells rang, she had no idea the magic had disappeared, and she forgot that she had never actually won that classmate's plushie from the machine.

Even after the magic vanished, the claw machine's magic seemed to live on.

When the spoiled young star of the entertainment industry knocked on Tan Yaxi's door, Xiang Qing appeared at the same time. In front of everyone, she pulled Tan Yaxi close and kissed her to stake her claim.

"You said you only liked me. How could you let someone else into your home?" she said, gazing at her with tender, pleading eyes.

Tan Yaxi's head was about to explode. She had no idea when she had ever said that.
