[Absolute Only-Me King's Game] Something’s Off About the King's Game Started By My Childhood Friend Beauties With Me. A Story of Endlessly Fun Times with Girls Whose Personal Boundaries Keeps Going Off the Rails! - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

“Hehe, Rei-kun’s room is so relaxing. It’s starting to feel like a training camp!”

Anna sits on my bed, munching on potato chips in aqua loungewear. The aqua fabric matches her lively vibe, creating an oddly refreshing atmosphere.

“It’s like… I’m super excited tonight~ Gathering like this for a King Game feels so luxurious~ It’s a different kind of thrill from doing it at my place~”

Fuwari wears a pink pajama dress. Her usual leisurely tone carries a slight blush—definitely not my imagination. Her presence alone softens and sweetens the air.

And then, Suzune.

She shows up in a light yellow T-shirt and shorts, bursting out with,

“Here we go! Suzune’s full of energy today! Nighttime King Game, let’s get hyped!”

She waves her arms wildly, plopping down in front of me. Her volume and energy make the room’s lights seem brighter.

Seriously, they all brought sleepover kits? They were totally planning to stay over from the start.

By the way, my mom’s been dragged out by Amami-san (Fuwari’s mom), so the house is empty.

Which means…

(Tonight… no one’s here to interrupt us!)

That realization is making everyone’s energy sky-high.

It’s a Saturday holiday. Tomorrow’s Sunday, a special day where we can stay up as late as we want without worry.

(No need to sleep…)

Just thinking that sends a different kind of excitement surging.

Not yet, hold it together, Tsuchimine Reiji!

“Hey, Suzune… You’re even more hyped than Anna.”

I let out a wry smile, partly to mask my own spiraling energy. Even Anna’s eyes widen.

“Reiji-kun! Suzune realized something! Since we’re all together, I should be the smile-bringing Suzune! So today, I’m the super fun Suzune! Uhehehe!”

Blushing with a mix of embarrassment and pride, Suzune puffs out her chest. Anna bursts out laughing, and Fuwari giggles, “Hehe, so cute~”

“Wow, Suzune might steal the spotlight!”

“Yeah, Anna-chan’s usually the most pumped, but Suzune-chan’s outdoing her today~”

…I’m completely swept up in their vibe. Surrounded like this, I can’t help but smile.

Yeah… Everyone’s definitely aware of what’s happening tonight.

We grab the chopsticks and sit in a circle on the floor. Deciding numbers is second nature now.

“““King Reiji-kun!♡♡♡”””

Suzune draws the red mark.

“Ooooh! I did it! Suzune’s the Main Wife!”

She leaps up, arms wide, yellow shirt fluttering like a hero’s entrance. Anna teases, “Rin-chan’s so happy~!” adding to the fun.

“Now, now! Here’s the first order!”

Suzune crosses her arms dramatically, scanning us. A mix of anticipation and tension fills the silence. Anna shrugs, Fuwari tilts her head with a smile, and I swallow hard.

“Order! Number 2 and the King praise each other with all you’ve got!”

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

My voice overlaps with Anna’s. The unexpectedly wholesome rule catches us off guard.

But Suzune beams, declaring,

“First, we gotta boost the mood! A fun vibe starts with compliments! Right, Reiji-kun?”

…She’s got this weirdly logical side. But it does lighten the mood. Alright.

“Okay, Rei-kun, you go first.”

Anna crosses her arms, smirking provocatively.

I clear my throat and look straight at her.

“Anna… you always brighten the room. Even when I’m quiet, you pull me along, and it really helps.”

The moment I say it, Anna freezes. Then her ears turn bright red.

“Hau! Don’t praise me so seriously! It’s hard to play it off!”

“It’s the order.”

I’m not doing this for laughs, you know?

“…Hmph, thanks. Not bad for you, Rei-kun.”

Her sulky tone hides a shy smile.

“My turn! Rei-kun… I love how you’re always honest with your compliments, even if you act tough!”

“H-Hey, that’s a bit…”

“Hehe, you can’t defy the King’s order~”

Her dazzling grin forces me to look away.

Suzune squeals, “Kyaa! So youthful! Suzune’s grinning just watching!” clapping wildly. Fuwari smiles, “Hehe, nice vibe~”

“““King Reiji-kun!♡♡♡”””

“Alright, Suzune again!”

“Rin-chan’s on fire today.”

Another turn for Suzune. She’s shining tonight.

“Here’s the next order!”

Suzune raises a finger with a beaming smile.

“Concubines 2 and 3, pamper King Reiji-kun at the same time!”

“Okay!”

“Sure!♡”

Anna and Fuwari move in sync, not a millisecond of hesitation.

My heart’s racing. Both Anna and Fuwari pampering me at once? Just imagining it blanks my mind. Two of the academy’s biggest busts? It’s gonna be insanely thrilling.

I’ve been through this before, but being ordered to do it hits differently, making my heart pound.

“Reiji-kuuun~♡ No choice, right? It’s an order~”

Fuwari murmurs like she’s soothing a child, but her hands wiggle as she inches closer.

She sits neatly beside me, the soft scent of her pink dress tickling my nose.

“Rei-kun, I’m gonna pamper you~ It’s the Main Wife’s order, so no resisting~”

The King’s authority is zero.

Anna, grinning mischievously, sits on my other side. Her aqua sleeve brushes my arm, sending a cool sensation.

And then—

“Rei-kun, thanks for hanging out today!”

Anna dives into my arm with a hug.

“Reiji-kun, I… ehehe, pampering like this feels kinda happy~”

Fuwari, just as eagerly but shyly, buries her face in my other arm.

Warmth floods from both sides. Their softness and sweet breaths hit me, nearly crashing my brain.

“W-Wait… This is way… too much…”

“Rei-kun, your face is so red~”

“Nfufu, Reiji-kun’s got such a cute face~”

Surrounded by their smiles, I’m trapped.

Suzune, watching, pounds the floor, laughing hysterically.

“Kyaa! This is the best! Anna-chan and Fuwari-chan go all out when they attack! Reiji-kun, with a girl on each arm, you’re grinning like crazy!”

“I-I’m not grinning!”

I deny it desperately, but my face is probably totally slack.

—Who knew the first order would hit this hard? Round 9 is shaping up to be wild.

“Hmm… This is nice… but…”

Suzune crosses her arms, making a fake serious face.

“But?”

Anna tilts her head.

“I wanna join too!”

“…Huh?”

“Ehh?”

Suzune leaps up, yellow T-shirt flapping, and declares,

“Next order! Everyone hugs Reiji-kun tight!”

“Wha—!”

Before I can shout, the grip from both sides tightens, and Suzune’s weight crashes into me from the front.

Where’s the King Game gone?

“Yay! Triple hug time!”

“Kyaa, Rin-chan, too much pushing!”

“Wow… This is getting intense~”

My body’s buried between them. Aqua, pink, yellow—traffic light colors swirl before my eyes, enveloped in suffocatingly sweet air.

“Reiji-kun! How’s it feel? Happy being surrounded by us!?”

“Calm down, Suzune! Happy? I’m gonna suffocate!”

“Uhehehe! Okay, I’ll hug a bit gentler!”

Suzune eases up, instead rubbing her cheek against mine. Her face is a mix of embarrassment and joy, hard to describe.

“Rei-kun, this is… less a King Game and more…”

“Yeah, like lovers, right~”

Anna and Fuwari’s words make my face burn hotter.

“Reiji-kun! Let’s keep Round 9 hyped!”

Suzune’s bright declaration sends the room’s energy soaring.
