Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Win the Game, Lose Life

Hello guys, I am so disappointed in patr30n , they decided to deactivate my account something that I built from scratch just because the new story I had begun was violating their terms. To be honest it was pure errotic but I had already set my account to be accessible only to 18+ and the story itself wasn't going against their terms. It is so painful because all my stories have gone with it yet they could have informed me to just get rid of the new story. I had built a whole community, almost two years of work just gone in a flush but luckily I had backed up my work. I have started a new account, Rene_chan2 I really need your support guys , I know some of you who were reading this story from my patreon account were 40 chapters ahead. I stayed up all night and I have uploaded every chapter till chapter 134 . I am kindly begging you guys , PLEASE to help me rebuild the community once more. It is really hard to lose something you've worked for years and also an inconvenience to those who were supporting me. The new account is Rene_chan2. I'll really appreciate your support guys, PLEASE...

In the end, Sakurai Saki still couldn't escape with Ishigami Yu.

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't save herself either—so naturally, she decided to take everyone down with her.

This hateful water ghost. Fine. It's settled. From now on, your nickname is Water Monkey.

Why do some people find such joy in hurting others while gaining nothing for themselves? I really don't understand.

…Oh, right. I'm the kind of scumbag who laughs at other people's misery. Never mind.

"Marriage Card!!! Cha-ching~ Saki-kun is going to marry the closest player! Let me see who it is!?" Fujiwara Chika announced, reading the card in Sakurai's hand with the enthusiasm of a game show host.

They had long since left the children's section behind and entered the adult area.

The events inside were a harrowing parade of real-world misery: getting chewed out by a superior for no reason, working twice as hard as your colleagues while watching them climb the ladder with nothing but charm and empty promises—yes, that sort of thing.

Everyone had been suffering in silence.

So when a happy card finally appeared, the relief was almost palpable.

Marriage.

Such a joyful word.

A milestone reached only after dating, deliberation, and a great deal of courage.

"Marriage?" Sakurai glanced at the card, then at the board. "Kaguya-san and I are married."

"It's just a game, isn't it? Don't talk as if it's real. I wouldn't marry you," Kaguya said flatly.

"Yes," Chika murmured, her expression suddenly tragic. "Sakurai-kun is married… but the bride isn't me."

…Is this woman too immersed in the role?

The three others present fell into a synchronized silence.

"But it doesn't matter!!" Chika's fighting spirit reignited in an instant. "I'm earning so much money now! At this rate, I'll win the game!"

Even if Sakurai-kun and Kaguya-san had ten children—no, a hundred—she could accept it!

She could endure.

Ten minutes later.

Kaguya picked up an event card. Her eye twitched.

"Why is it another childbirth card? I've already given Sakurai General Affairs five."

Fujiwara Chika broke.

She covered her face, a soft, tragic whimper escaping her lips.

"Why… why did I come to play this garbage game?! Hateful Kaguya-san! I hate you!"

"Garbage game?! Fujiwara-senpai, what are you saying?!" Ishigami Yu, who had lost a leg in-game but remained unshakably spirited, shot back. "This is a god-tier game! A god! Invincible! Incredibly strong! I'm going to play it every single day from now on!"

Don't ask. He was just enjoying the show.

His voice floated dreamily, as if carried on a cloud: "Hehe… Fujiwara-senpai, you're getting yours today."

"Kaguya-san, can you please stop having children?!" Sakurai pleaded, staring at the rising expense column. "So many—it costs tens of thousands extra each turn just to raise them!"

His current fate was tethered to Kaguya Shinomiya.

After marriage, they shared event cards—but not their money.

In this garbage game, the children's upbringing expenses fell entirely on the father.

Oppression of men is everywhere in the world!

When will men finally stand up?!

Another ten minutes later.

"...The child got first in their grade, got into Stanford University, and you and your wife received the 'Model Couple' title card."

Sakurai set the card down and glanced at Shinomiya.

"Kaguya-san, how will you educate children in the future? It's hard to imagine you being a good mother."

"What nonsense are you talking about, child's father?" Kaguya shot back, arching an elegant brow. "I'd like to ask you—with that indifferent expression you wear for everyone, will children even like you?"

By the way.

The two had now produced eleven children.

Truly a house full of descendants. A football team's worth.

"Waaah~ another company went public! Earned three hundred million! So happy! Waaah!" Fujiwara Chika sobbed tears of joy.

She'd earned hundreds of millions more than Saki-kun.

So why was she so sad?

Why were Chika's eyes full of tears?

Because she loved this game deeply.

"So fun! Happy Life Game!"

"Yes! Fujiwara-senpai! It's so much fun!" Ishigami Yu egged her on, grinning like a devil.

He hadn't made a single yen. He was crippled. And he'd died of old age later.

But he was happy.

There's a saying: contentment brings happiness.

And Ishigami Yu was very, very content—as long as he got to watch Fujiwara Chika cry.

It seemed that spending too much time with Sakurai Saki had fully awakened his latent fun-seeker trait.

Sakurai Saki. A man full of sin.

"Ishigami-kun! Shut up!" Chika blew her nose fiercely into a tissue, her delicate little nose red and raw.

Sakurai watched her quietly.

It was just a game. No need to take it so seriously.

He hadn't wanted to marry Shinomiya, nor did he want eleven children—that was enough to form a squad.

But when the dice rolled that way, what could he do?

"Alright, stop crying. It's just a game." He reached over and wiped her tears.

"Adultery."

Kaguya's voice cut through the air like a blade.

"Marital infidelity. Sakurai-kun, you'll have to give me at least 60% of your assets—or I'll take you to court."

Sakurai's hand froze.

Then retracted at lightning speed.

It's fine. My hand speed is fast enough. In those ten seconds, I already wiped them all away.

Sorry, Chika. I don't want to lose.

"It's just a game," he said carefully. "There's no divorce setting."

Chika blinked, then said apologetically: "Sorry, our game actually does have that."

She looked up at him with glittering, tear-filled eyes.

"So… Saki-kun, do you want to cheat on Kaguya-san and choose me?"

Wait.

The nature of this game is getting strange!

"Sorry, Fujiwara Secretary," Kaguya interjected, her gaze sharp as a winter frost. "My husband. I really can't give him to you."

This was her property. Her person.

And she thought she could take him for free with a single sentence?

What are you thinking, Fujiwara Secretary.

Sure enough—the bigger the chest, the emptier the head.

Look at the top five at Shuchiin Academy. Not a single one has a large chest.

Flat chests are a symbol of wisdom.

"Husband?" Chika's voice trembled with indignation. "It's just a game, isn't it?!"

This garbage game! Who brought it anyway?! So annoying!

…It seems it was me.

Damn it! Chika, you idiot!

"Tsk, tsk." Kaguya Shinomiya whistled—smoothly, elegantly, nothing like Chika's clumsy attempts. "A husband in a game is still a husband."

Her gaze drifted, aloof and untouchable.

Sorry, Hayasaka. For this game… I'll borrow Sakurai-kun for a bit.

"You don't even like him!" Chika snapped. "You're not worthy of being his wife!"

"Who said I don't like Sakurai-kun?" Kaguya shot back, her voice rising with uncharacteristic heat. "In this game, I like him a lot! Otherwise, why would I have eleven children with him?!"

She crossed her arms, defiant.

"I've even named the first child! It's going to be Shinomiya Ha!"

Sakurai interjected flatly: "Why Shinomiya as the surname?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're definitely marrying into our family!"

…Shinomiya Family.

I'll destroy it next year.

Don't underestimate a Superpower user, hey!

"Saki-kun, quickly divorce her! I'll raise the children!"

Sakurai held his forehead.

Chika, stop talking. At this rate, you'll be taking the children's surname later. You don't just take on someone's family like that!

In the end, Chika still didn't successfully marry Sakurai Saki.

"Congratulations on achieving the Golden Anniversary! A hundred years of harmony! Congratulations!" Ishigami Yu clapped from the sidelines, his smile utterly uncontainable.

He'd been hit by a car and died in his old age—so he'd taken over the role of narrator.

And Ishigami Yu had absolutely zero resistance to death!

Great!

Good riddance!

Fujiwara Chika lay limp on the sofa, eyes vacant, unable to speak.

She had won the game.

But she had lost her life.

[Today's Outcome: Sakurai Saki's Victory!]

(Gained 11 children and 1 wife (in-game).)
