CH 96

I gently pinch Lida’s cheek to wake her up.

“Wake up, Lida.”

“………… Mukyu.”

Mukyu…. I don’t know what kind of sleep-talking is going on. By the way, her skin is so smooth. I wonder how it becomes like this. Lida opens her heavy eyelids and wakes up.

“Good morning, Oojirou. Kiss~♡”

“In front of Azusa and the president?”

“………… Eh? Whoa! Aside from Azusa-chan, when did Suzu-san get here!”

Lida, whose eyes flicker black and white, is agitated by the president’s presence.

“I just called him a few minutes ago. He said I could come in, so I thought I’d stop by.”

“I’m so glad to hear that. Now we are all together.”

Azusa was still asleep, but the president shook her body to wake her up.

“……Hmmm. I still want to sleep…….”

“Wake up, Azusa-chan.”

“……Well, I think I hear Suzu-chan’s voice……. and she’s here!”

Startled by the sight of the president, she jumped up in surprise.

Finally, the Sleeping Beauties awakened.

“Good morning.”

“Oh, yeah. I am surprised. I mean, everyone’s here.”

That’s what Lida said earlier, too.

This situation is nothing but paradise for me. Well, now that everyone is here, let’s play a game. Speaking of games that can be played with a large group…

“Okay, let’s all play ‘Hamatetsu’ together.”

Hamatetsu.

A game in which players roll dice and travel by train to stations across the country to compete in a prize race. There is also an element of using special cards to trick your opponents. The lowest ranked player is haunted by an evil god of poverty, and is left in the misery of debtor’s hell. Such is the game.

“Hamatetsu, I like it too!”

Lida and I have been playing a lot lately.

“Hamatetsu, that train thing?”

“Yes, Azusa. Have you ever played it?”

“A little bit. I kind of know the rules.”

That’s good to know.

All that’s left is the no-hobby president and she’s not a fan.

“The president has never played before, has she?”

“Oojirou-kun. I don’t want you to treat me like a fool. I have played with my brother before.”

“Seriously? By the way, how much did you play with him?”

“I’ve been playing for ninety-nine years!”

Dazzling smile!

But 99 years is a lot of time!!!

She says she has no hobbies, but she plays online games with us, and she’s a gamer. Well, I welcome game lovers.

“So it’s decided then. Here are the controllers.”

Distributed for four people including myself.

The device is turned on and the game begins.

Everyone picks up a small controller and stares intently at the screen. The tutorial begins, and we enter our “names”.

I chose “Dogma,” which I also use in online games, Lida chose “Vasili” Azusa chose “Azuki,” and the president of the board chose “President” as it is.

When each of us had decided on our character names, the battle began. Since I am the first, I roll the dice and advance the squares.

“Plus Mass. I got three million yen.”

“I see. That’s how you accumulate money.”

The inexperienced Azusa was watching and learning. Since she’s almost a beginner, I’ll take it a little easy on her at first……..

“Uh, yeah, yeah. I think we’ll decide on the punishment game too.”

And when I suggested it, everyone turned around and ……

“”Ba, punishment game ~~~ !?””

I was surprised to hear that.

“It’s boring to just play normally. How about a rule that the last place gets to do whatever the first place says?”

“…… Oojirou, I’m in.”

“Well, Lida’s on board.”

“Because that means you can totally control Oojirou, right?”

“Oh come on, you think you’ve already won. You don’t deserve it.”

“How many times do you think we’ve played together?”

That’s it!

Lately we have been playing late every night and Lida is an expert. So Azusa is at a disadvantage, but there’s an element of …… luck involved, and you never know until the end of the game.

“That’s great. It’s more exciting when there are prizes like that.”

“Azusa has no complaints, either. And the president?”

“Of course I’ll take it. I will win completely and have a date with Oojirou-kun this time.”

The president is on fire.

Wait, wait, she’s serious about this!!

No, though, I’ve played this game for dozens of hours myself. And I’ve been playing it since I was a kid! Yes, this game is an old series. So I guess you could say I’m a “veteran player”.

I’ll show you the difference in my abilities!
