Chapter 36 – 10 Babies Is a Bit Too Much
“Alright! What should we do first? For now, should we start with Momotaro Dentetsu 100-Year?”
You’re not planning to let me go home, are you?
Do you realize how many hours that’ll take? If we start something like that, there’s no way I’m leaving.
“100 years? There’s no way we can finish that in one day. If we’re going to play, it’d have to be for 3 years or maybe 10 years, tops.”
“Huh? What are you talking about, Ishibashi? We’re staying over tonight, right? Pulling an all-nighter, right?”
Wait, she really wasn’t planning to let me go home.
“No, I’m heading home like normal… by evening.”
“What? Evening? I even bought a takoyaki maker so we could have a takoyaki party tonight…”
She bought that takoyaki maker just for today? Seriously?
“………It’s fine, I guess…”
As Reika said that, she tried to put the takoyaki maker away with a dejected look on her face. I sighed as I looked at her lonely-looking back.
I nodded slightly to Mayu and then spoke to Reika again.
“Ah, you know, just talking about takoyaki made me really crave it. Maybe we should just have a takoyaki party here tonight… What do you think, Kohinata?”
“Yeah, I think so. I’d like to have a takoyaki party with everyone, too.”
“…You two are just trying to be considerate of me, aren’t you?”
Whoa, what a troublesome woman…
“Do you really think I’d go out of my way to accommodate you?”
“…True, it is you, Ishibashi.”
It’s a little annoying how she just agrees so easily, but fine.
At least the dinner issue is settled. I’ll just avoid mentioning the all-nighter sleepover part.
“Do you have The Game of Life or something?”
“Oh, I bought that, too.”
Reika retrieved a board game and a game console from a mountain of playthings. Since neither of us objected, we decided to start with The Game of Life.
After finishing the tutorial, we entered our player names and begin.
As the game progressed, all three of us left the childhood zone and entered the adult zone. All three of us went to the same high school, but after graduation, our paths diverged.
I didn’t go to university and continued working part-time. Mayu went on to a top university. And Reika started her own company and became very successful. Currently, she is by far the most wealthy.
I feel like there’s quite a gap between us at this point, but…the game is still far from over.
My turn came up, and I rolled to move five spaces.
“Huh? Is this… a marriage square?”
“?!”
The two’s faces were even more tense than mine when I landed on the square.
“I-Ishibashi… Who are you marrying? Don’t tell me it’s some nobody I don’t even know…!”
Reika started to get strangely flustered. I didn’t know why she was so pale, but I looked at the explanation of the game for now.
“…It looks like the player will choose a marriage partner with a roulette.”
Let’s see… If it lands on 1-5, I marry Reika, and if it’s 6-10, I marry Mayu.
The roulette started to spin.
“……”
Hey. Tsukishima. Your face is too close.
Feeling uncomfortable with the pressure from the person next to me, I pressed the stop button.
The result of the marriage roulette was 4.
Tsuyoshi marries Reika!
“!!”
Reika’s eyes lit up.
“Hmph, I see. Well, I guess I have no choice but to marry you, Ishibashi.”
“Oh, really? Thank you.”
“Just so you know, in this marriage, I’m the boss, and you’re completely under my thumb.”
“Sure, I wonder when that overly detailed setup will come into play.”
Even so, even though it’s just a game, I’m marrying Reika. My love interest is the heroine… I guess that’s kinda romantic.
“Ah, but don’t get the wrong idea, okay? This is just a game. A game! So don’t confuse it with reality.”
“I know.”
After that, by marrying Reika, the effects of the squares we both stepped on were shared.
Thanks to Reika’s good luck, I, who was a part-time worker, am now a director at a top company. The Tsukishima Reika effect is amazing.
And then Mayu joined my company.
This game… turns out, this is where things get serious.
“Wait, this space… Is it an affair square?”
The square Mayu landed on was the affair square. I was already questioning why such a horrible space even exists, but now I have a bad feeling about this.
…Could the affair partner possibly be…
Tsuyoshi and Mayu spent the night together and are now in an affair.
I knew it…!!
“……”
Reika’s expression, which had been in a happy mood just a moment ago, suddenly clouded over.
“Ishibashi!! You cheated!? With Mayu!? While I was here!? Did you… did you do something indecent!?”
“…Well, um, I’m sorry, Reika-chan.”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Reika held her head, while Mayu looked a little amused.
“Calm down… This is just a game, remember?”
“!! So you’re trying to cover it up like that!?”
What’s with this girl? So unreasonable.
Our relationships are getting chaotic…
In the game, I keep moving forward while maintaining relationships with both of them.
Then, Mayu stopped at one of the squares.
“Ah, it’s the birth square.”
Congratulations! A baby boy has been born to Tsuyoshi and Mayu!
“I-I haven’t even had a baby yet…”
Reika’s expression clouded over even more.
Tsuyoshi and Reika have obtained the title of ‘Married in Name Only.’
Stop it! What kind of game is this!? Is it mocking us!?
“M-married in name only…”
“Um, sorry Reika-chan…”
“Uwaaaaaah!! I don’t want to hear those words anymore!!”
Our relationships are turning into a complete mess…
“W-wow, another birth square. That makes it the 10th child, Ishibashi-kun. Isn’t this… uh… getting a bit too much?”
“Uh, well, that’s not exactly my fault.”
“Ishibashi!! Why won’t you have a baby with me!?”
“Because you haven’t landed on a birth square.”
And so this relationship that had become so muddy finally came to an end.
“Huh? Trouble square?”
Tsuyoshi has been stabbed by someone and has died. Everything is over. Thank you for playing. You are in last place.
……Huh? What kind of crappy game is this?
“Hmph. You got what you deserve.”
Reika next to me glared at me.
After that, Mayu raised 10 children, leading a life that, though poor, was lively and happy.
In comparison, Reika became one of the top five wealthiest people in Japan, and although she was very rich, she lived a lonely and somewhat sad life.
In the end, Reika came in first place by an overwhelming margin.
“…Well, congrats. You won by a landslide.”
“…I’m not happy at all.”
Seeing Reika looking completely depressed, Mayu and I nodded slightly before speaking to her again.
“Come on, it’s a good time now. Let’s go buy ingredients for the takoyaki party.”
“…Okay.”
Mayu and I comforted the heartbroken Reika as we headed to the supermarket.
I checked the reviews of the game on my smartphone and, as expected, it was panned and treated as a trash game.
