Chapter 186: Winning the Game, Losing in Life
In the end, Sakurai Saki still didn't manage to escape with Ishigami.
Shinomiya Kaguya clearly knew she couldn't get out herself, so she decided to drag everyone down with her.
Damn swamp demon who only knows how to drag others down — fine then, it's decided, your new nickname from now on is Water Monkey!
Hurting others without gaining anything yourself? How can anyone find joy in something like that? Seriously, what's wrong with people!?
"Marriage card!!! Jjang jjang~ Saki-kun will marry the nearest player! Let's see who it is!?" Fujiwara Chika announced while reading the card in Sakurai's hand.
They had already passed the kids' zone and entered the adult zone.
The events suddenly turned into the harshness of adulthood — like being scolded by your boss even though you did nothing wrong, working hard but getting no recognition, while smooth-talking coworkers rise rapidly… yep, stuff like that.
Everyone was getting emotionally beaten down playing this game, so finally drawing a happy card was a relief.
Marriage — what a blissful word.
Only after passing through the phase of dating and long, serious thought does one enter this stage of life!
"Marriage, huh?" Sakurai glanced at it.
"I'm married to Kaguya-san now, huh."
"It's just a game, right? Don't say it like it's real. There's no way I'm marrying you." Ojou-sama Kaguya replied flatly.
"Right," Chika said, looking dejected. "Saki-kun's married, and the bride isn't me."
Chika: (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)
…This girl is getting a bit too into character, huh?
The other three had no words and didn't know how to respond.
"But it's fine!! I've made so much money now! At this rate, I'll totally win this game!!" Chika was bursting with energy!
Even if Saki-kun and Kaguya-san have ten kids — she'll accept it!
Ten minutes later.
Shinomiya Kaguya picked up another event card. "Why is it another childbirth card? I've already had five kids with Sakurai-san."
Fujiwara Chika collapsed!
She covered her face, sobbing: "Why the hell did I play this garbage game!? Damn you, Kaguya-san! I hate you!!"
༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
"Garbage game?! Fujiwara-senpai, what are you talking about?!" Ishigami Yuu, even with a broken leg, still stood strong and objected: "This is a divine game! Divine! Unbeatable! Beyond amazing! From now on, I'm playing it every day!!"
Ishigami Yuu would never miss a chance to mock Chika.
His tone was no longer calm, practically floating: "Hehe, Fujiwara-senpai's getting what she deserves today."
"Kaguya-san, can you please stop having kids already!? It's too much! Every turn, raising a child costs another million yen!!" Sakurai was now tied to Shinomiya Kaguya.
After getting married, the two shared event cards — but not money.
And in this stupid game, child support costs always went to the father.
The world is full of oppression against men! When will men finally rise up!?
—
Ten minutes later.
"…Your child ranked first in the grade, got accepted into Stanford University, and you and your wife received the 'Model Couple' card." Sakurai placed the card in his hand.
He turned to Kaguya: "Kaguya-san, how will you raise our children in the future? Hard to imagine you being a good mother."
"Father-san, what are you even talking about? I was just about to ask you — with that cold face that never changes, will the kids even like you?" Shinomiya Kaguya fired back.
By the way, the two now had 11 children — calling them a huge family wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Uuu~ Another one of my companies got listed. Earned another 300 million, so happy uuuu~" Fujiwara Chika wept with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Chika: (,,╥﹏╥,,)
She had clearly made hundreds of millions more than Saki-kun… so why did her heart feel so devastated?
Why were Chika's eyes full of tears? Because she had loved this game so deeply.
"Happy Life Game is just too fun."
"That's right! Fujiwara-senpai! Super fun!" Ishigami Yuu chimed in.
Though he hadn't earned a single yen and even had a broken leg — he was having a blast!
As long as Fujiwara Chika was crying, he was happy.
This guy… it seemed like after hanging around Sakurai Saki for too long, even his natural instinct to tease people had awakened.
Sakurai Saki — a man full of sin!
"Ishigami-kun! Shut your mouth for me!" Fujiwara Chika blew her nose while holding a tissue.
Her cute little nose had turned completely red.
Sakurai Saki felt that this was just a game, there was no need to take it so seriously.
Honestly, he didn't want to marry Kaguya, let alone have 11 children—enough to form an entire soccer team!
But hey, the dice said so, so he had to go along with it.
"Alright, stop crying already, it's just a game." Sakurai wiped Chika's tears.
"Adultery." Shinomiya Kaguya said coldly.
"Adultery within marriage. Sakurai-san, if you're going to act like that, then you'll have to give me at least 60% of your assets. Otherwise, I'll sue you in court!"
Sakurai Saki immediately stopped his hand, no longer wiping Chika's tears.
It was fine, his hand was fast—he had already gently wiped them a few seconds ago.
Sorry, Chika. I can't afford to lose!
"This is just a game, there's no divorce mechanic."
Upon hearing that, Chika shyly said, "Sorry, but there really is one in this game."
"So, Saki-kun, do you want to NTR on Kaguya-san with me?"
Wait a minute! This game is starting to get weird!
"Sorry, Secretary Fujiwara, but my husband absolutely cannot be handed over to you." Shinomiya Kaguya shot Chika a glance.
This is my property, my man, and you think you can just take him with one sentence? What the hell are you thinking, Secretary Fujiwara?
As expected, the bigger the boobs, the dumber the brain — not just saying it. Everyone, look: in the top 5 best-performing female students of Shuchiin, not a single one has big boobs.
Flat chests are the symbol of intelligence!
"Husband? This is just a game?!" Chika snapped.
(｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!
What a garbage game! Who the hell brought this anyway?! So annoying!
…Oh right, it was me.
Damn it! Fujiwara Chika, you're such an idiot!
"Tch tch, a husband in the game is still a husband." Shinomiya Kaguya whistled. Unlike Chika, she did it fluently and smoothly.
Kaguya's gaze drifted into the distance.
Sorry, Hayasaka… Just for this game, let me borrow Sakurai-san for a while.
"You don't even like him! You're not worthy to be his wife!"
"Who said I don't like Sakurai-san? In this game, I like him a lot! Otherwise, why would I have 11 kids with him?" Shinomiya Kaguya shouted back. "I even named the first one already! It'll be Shinomiya Kagaya!"
Sakurai frowned: "Why would the child have the last name Shinomiya?"
"What the hell are you saying? Of course you're marrying into my family!"
…The Shinomiya family—next year, I'll make sure it collapses.
Don't underestimate an Esper!
"Saki-kun, divorce her already! I'll pay child support for you!"
Sakurai Saki put his hand to his forehead.
Chika, stop talking already. At this rate, the kid's last name will end up being Fujiwara! Do both of you just want me to become a leech of a husband?!
...
In the end, Fujiwara Chika still failed to successfully marry Sakurai Saki.
"Congratulations to the two of you on achieving Golden Marriage status! A hundred years of happiness, congrats, congrats!" Ishigami Yuu clapped off to the side! The smile on his face couldn't be hidden!
He got hit by truck-kun and died of old age, so he took on the role of narrator, but Ishigami Yuu didn't resist death at all!
Absolutely amazing!
What a beautiful way to die!
Fujiwara Chika lay blankly on the sofa, unable to say a word.
Winning the game, losing in life.
