Chapter 235 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [6]
235. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [6]
When the plane took off safely and reached cruising altitude, we unseated.
At the same time,
「Sorry, but I’m going to sleep a little…」
「……Good night though.」
Rose and Ferris-senpai, gave into the sleepiness, and headed to the nap room at the back of the plane.
After that, the rest of us had fun chatting.
「Nee, you guys. Why don’t we play this?」
The president took out a rectangular box and placed it on a large table in the center.
「What is it?」
And when I asked her,
「Dorururururu… Ta-dah! “Life, the board game!”.」
While making an adorable drum roll sound, she opened the box cheerfully.
The next moment,
「Oh, this! I played it when I was little! It feels so nostalgic.」
Ria’s eyes sparkled like a little child, as she took out the board game inside the box.
「Oh, I haven’t seen this in a long time! I last played this with everyone in middle-school!」
Lilim-senpai seemed to be quite excited, too. She stared at the square tiles on the board, together with Ria
「Fufu, I found it by chance while I was preparing everything yesterday. I thought it would be fun if we all played together, so I brought it just in case.」
「Nice decision, Sie!」
「I know right!」
As the atmosphere got heated up,
「Nee, Allen. Let’s play together!」
Ria brought her face closer to me with a very happy smile on her face.
「Aa, of course.」
She looks so happy.
Naturally, there is no reason to refuse.
When everyone agreed, the president clapped her hands.
「All right, that’s settled now! Next is regarding the rules. Lillim and I have always played it during middle school, and Ria-san seems to have played it too, is that right?」
When she asked, the two immediately nodded.
「How about Allen-kun?」
「Let’s see… I’ve played Life games in Goza village, but this seems to be quite different from what I know…」
The box of the Life game I played with bamboo geezer and the others was more darkish. A mixture of black and brown. It never looked so bright coloured and fun.
「Ara, is that so? Speaking of Life games, this series is the standard, but… Well, that’s fine. I will explain the rules briefly just in case.」
「Yes, please.」
Then the president explained the rules in an easy-to-understand manner.
Each player turns the roulette, which is numbered from 1 to 10, in order.
Then, you advance to the tile according to the number you got, aiming for the “Goal” in the center of the board.
The player with the most “cash valuation of their property” wins when they arrive at the goal by performing the various events written on the tiles that they stopped on.
The rules themselves were not particularly unusual, and it was exactly the same as the Life game that I played in Goza Village.
「By the way, I will warn you just in case… Unfortunately, Allen and Ria have no chance of winning. After all, Lillim and I are the best when it comes to this game!」
「Fufufu! We always stop on the winning tiles and evade every losing tile! The game has already been decided before it started!」
「Ara, you’ll be in trouble if you underestimate me, you know? I’ve also fought hundreds of battles against my father and Claude, and I still remember all the tile events!」
The three of them said so, exuding fighting aura.
It seems that they have extraordinary confidence in this Life game, and I felt somewhat left out.
「A-Ahaha… Please go easy on me.」
Thus we played the Life game until we arrived at Cherin, the country of Sakura.
About three hours later,
「T-That’s… impossible.」
「N-No way…」
「Gu, Guh…」
The president, Ria, and Lilim, squeezed the game money in their hand as the colour drained from their faces.
「Hmm, 300 million, 400 million, 500 million and 80 million gold… A total of 580 million gold. It looks like I won this time too.」
The second place is the president with 110 million gold.
The third place is Ria with 70 million gold.
And last place is Lilim-senpai with negative 60 million gold.
It was a “perfect victory” with a huge difference of more than five times compared to the president in second place.
Moreover, I won three times in a row in all three battles.
Not even once did I lose the first place.
And then,
「C-Cheating! This is cheating! This is absolutely weird!」
「Allen, be honest. You’re doing something wrong, aren’t you?」
「Allen-kun… you’re a little too strong for someone who is playing this Life game for the first time, don’t you think? Maybe, you’re using one of your tricks again?」
Just as I expected…
The president, Ria, and Lilim-senpai made such claims in unison.
