“… one child”

“I have three. That’s a lot of kids.”

The two beautiful girls smiled with gentle expressions full of motherly love.

Kenichi was watching them with serious eyes.

The tension at night is strange.

Is this what they call a student vibe?

Since it was late at night, everyone’s excitement was on the rise.

Of course, we were high school students, so we hadn’t been drinking, but we were as excited as drunks.

Well, mainly Kenichi and Fuji-san were in high spirits.

As for Fuji-san, I feel that she is far from the cool beauty impression I had at first.

By the way, what is the goddess doing…?

I don’t know if it’s the excitedness or not, but we’ re strangely close to each other.

Inspired by Kenichi and Fuji-san sitting next to each other, cuddling, she sat down beside me, saying, ‘It’s better to be two against two.’

She leaned into me as if to put her weight on my body and…

I don’t know what it means, but it reminds me of a pawing cat.

I wonder, should call her “Riaju cat” from now on? (TL: Word play lost in translation)

“What’s wrong, Towa?

“No, it’s nothing.

I turned away from the Goddess, who was looking at me as if to see my expression.

Because of the difference in our heights, people often look up at me, but the destructive power of Goddess look is extraordinary.

Clear eyes, fine skin, soft lips … all stimulate my sense of sight and make my heart pound violently.

Therefore, when at a close distance, I have to turn my face before she catches on.

“No, everyone has changed a lot.”

“Oh…”

“Hahaha! Don’t get upset. It’s just a game.”

We were playing a game of life that Kenichi had brought with him.

Initially, we were going to play cards, but Rin didn’t know the rules, so we decided to play a safe board game.

And the state of the game is …… well, you get the idea.

“I’ve got a lot of money. I’m sure to be in first place because of it. The ‘Oil tycoon’ is awesome!”

“…Idols are no slouches either.”

“Although it’s not as much as Katou-san, doctors also earn a stable income.”

“…”

While hearing to everyone’s occupation, I look at my lonely place where nothing is placed.

Huh, that makes me sigh.

“Towa is still a part-timer, …Well, that’s fine.”

“Shut up.”

“…Full of debt.”

“Fu” (TL note: sound effect)

“But it’s fun because you get paid every time you spin the roulette wheel! Well, you know, it’s not stable, but …”

“Rin, that follow-up is only hurting my heart.”

“Uh, Towa-kun, sorry …”

I mean, you’ve already said you feel sorry for me…

“This game of life is too unreasonable. To take over the real parameters like this…”

I looked at the game of life spread out in front of me and my shoulders slumped.

I have no money.

The only thing I have is a lot of debt.

It was funny to see how well I missed the mark.

“Let’s get on with it!

Kenichi spun the roulette wheel in high spirits and moved the pieces according to the number of squares that appeared.

I read the words written on the squares.

Kenichi’s square read, ‘My wife found out about my affair in real life. I have to disclose my phone. If I do, I will pay the woman 10 million yen for each eye on the roulette wheel’ What the hell is this?”

As you can see, the ‘Dangerous Specification’ of this game of life is strange.

There are a lot of commands in the game, such as to perform a trick, sing a song, or call your parents to thank them for their support.

So, I’m on the edge of my seat.

Well, in a way, it’s peaceful because I only land on debt squares every time.

“Haha! I really don’t understand these squares!”

“Here, Kenichi. Hurry up and get comfortable.”

“You don’t have to! You don’t have to! Hey, Kotone…?”

“…Kenichi, give me your phone.”

“eh?”

Fuji-san, who has her eyes fixed, instantly steals Kenichi’s smartphone.

A stupid voice came out of Kenichi at the fluid motion.

And when I look at Kenichi’s phone, my cheeks gradually flush and my body starts to shake.

“…What is this? Why are there photos that should have been erased?”

The picture on the screen of his phone was Fuji-san jumping around the bowling alley with a big smile on her face.

Ah, how nostalgic.

That photo.

“No~. That’s the one…”

He usually speaks with an air of dignity about everything, but right now he’s scratching his head and his teeth are chattering awkwardly.

However, I wondered if he had decided something, he held Fuji-san’s hand and stared at her with serious eyes.

“But Kotone… that picture. It was just too cute, I couldn’t erase it!!”

“…B-but”

“That’s why I want it to be my heirloom. I want to spend as much time with Kotone as possible. That’s why I need that photo too.”

“…Kenichi.

What is this farce ……?

What am I being shown ……?

Rin is watching over the situation with a bitter smile.

“… But I don’t want to be embarrassed. Yes, erase.”

“Damn ittt!!”

He put his hands on the floor and seemed depressed.

It looks like he’s crying and crying, but…

I can’t see his expression, but he’s probably smiling nastily.

I think those photos are stored on Kenichi’s home computer or something.

“…Leaving Kenichi alone, Tokiwaki-kun, it’s your turn.”

“Ah.”

“Stop in an interesting place!”

“You recovered so fast…”

I knew you weren’t depressed.

Does that mean we were just shown a couple sketch?

I spin the roulette wheel.

The retro sound of the roulette machine echoes quietly in the room, and I watch it with bated breath.

And the square that it lands on…

“‘I’m on the verge of bankruptcy with a debt of 100 million yen. If you nominate one person and win with rock-paper-scissors, you can push all the debt to the guarantor.’ Oh no, you’ve done it, Towa. But there is a saving grace.”

“Gee … Seriously. I’m weak with rock-paper-scissors.”

After all I had no luck …

At this point, I can’t help but laugh.

“…And if Tokiwagi-kun had such a debt, he would definitely lose.”

“It’s hard … So leave it to me Towa-kun! I’ll take care of the debt for you.”

“… Rin, your eyes are scary.”

“This is also a woman’s worth. I’ll throw rock, so please choose me!”

“… I’m kind of worried about Rin’s future.”

I sigh at Rin, who for some reason is desperately trying to protect me.

Well, the tension in the middle of the night may be making her crazy.

I’m sure the next day she’ll be saying, “I want to hide into a hole.”

“Then … Kenichi, let’s call it a man’s game.”

“Well, are you going to challenge me? I’m pretty good at Rock-paper-scissors.”

“It’s called biting the cat. I’ll knock that happy-go-lucky bastard down to the bottom of the pile…”

“Towa-kun ……”

“…… Rin, don’t be depressed just because you didn’t get picked. It was just a boy’s foolishness.”

“It’s nice to be the one who stands up to the odds! Good luck, Towa-kun.”

“…… Are you sure you’re okay, Rin?”

“”Rock, paper, scissors !!!””

A victory shout echoed in the room.

The losing dog crawled on the ground.

If you can’t win in the game or in the real world, you can’t win.

So please guess who won …

So, while the excitement lasts, let’s start the second part of the storytelling competition for high school students by high school students~!

“Ooooh! “Oh!” shouted the group, or rather, the two of them.

The late-night tension must have made them even crazier.

The usually cool Fuji-san was shouting with her fists in the air.

I sighed and looked at Rin.

Our eyes met and we both smiled bitterly.

Maybe the goddess isn’t as good with this kind of flirting as I thought.

When I thought about it, I felt a little closer to her.

TL Note: The quality of this chapter wasn’t as high as I wanted to be but still within what I consider to be acceptable. I’m still sore from my workout so this is the best thing you’ll get for now.

As for future releases I’ll go for 2 guaranteed chapters a week, with extras depending on how fast I can TL a chapter. I can get through a chapter in about 2 hours not counting breaks and other distractions, so that much seems reasonable for me.
