"Is it my turn?" Next, the dice landed in front of Rumia. Compared to the varied emotional reactions of the others, her calm demeanor truly made Mystia marvel.
After the dice rolled a three, Rumia, hands making a cross shape, trotted to a spot where there was nothing.
"Nothing here?" Rumia looked around, seemingly confirming whether anything would pop up. However, when the dice landed in front of Wriggle, it meant her turn had indeed ended.
Wriggle then threw the dice, rolling a six, the same as Daiyousei. Upon reaching her spot, a card fell in front of her.
"Extra Chance: Allows one event to happen a second time."
Seeing this description, Wriggle subtly put the card away. Then, it was the turn of the most nervous player, Mystia.
"Please! Just not a four!" At this stage, only the four and six spots within six steps had events, so as long as it wasn't a four, she could accept it. Otherwise, Cirno at the four-spot was a clear example.
"Heh!" Mystia threw the dice forcefully. Under her tense gaze, the dice landed on a five, a spot with nothing, causing her to slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Since Player One is stopped for one turn, we begin with Player Two."
"So, my role is just to be the background?" Kars realized his function in this game. Besides acting according to the events that occurred, the rest of the time he was simply watching the others play.
Next, Daiyousei picked up the dice and rolled a three. As she walked forward two steps, she saw a crossroad appear before her. This clearly required her to make a choice.
Daiyousei observed the situation briefly and noticed the path straight ahead seemed to have more events. So, with a blush, she took the final step forward, as she was actually looking forward to encountering many things.
Then it was Rumia's turn. This time, after rolling a six, when she arrived at the crossroad, she immediately turned right and took one more step, landing on an "Event" pattern. A piece of text then floated up before her.
"A sweet chance encounter with Kars, followed by sharing a couple's dessert. The player will be teleported directly to the dining establishment."
After seeing this text, Rumia's figure appeared at a small, miniature dining establishment on a nearby road segment. She and Kars were sitting across from each other at a table, with various cakes and sweets placed between them—all undoubtedly made by Sakuya. This sight made Rumia's eyes gleam. Not only was there a game, but there was also food! Wasn't this great!
"Such a normal event!!" Mystia hadn't expected there would be such an ordinary event. She wished she could encounter an event like this too.
As she lamented this, Mystia realized her thinking was too naive. The so-called sharing dessert involved one person biting onto the food and the other eating it from their mouth. Didn't this mean they were definitely going to kiss! Maybe even sticking their tongues into the other person's…
After Kars took a bite of the dessert, Rumia didn't hesitate or struggle. She leaned in to eat it. When the cream got on Kars's mouth, Rumia licked it off with her tongue. To eat the dessert from Kars's mouth, she directly kissed him, continuously using her tongue to sweep the dessert into her own mouth.
Slowly, this turned into their tongues intertwining. The sight and sounds of the two passionately licking each other, oblivious to their surroundings, were fully transmitted for the remaining players to see.
However, this event didn't last until the very end before it was Wriggle's turn. After she rolled a five, she took two steps and arrived at the crossroad. She looked at the route ahead with the most events, then the right side with the second most, and the left side with the fewest, causing her to hesitate. If she walked straight, her steps would land exactly on an event spot, but walking straight would fully reveal her intentions, and she felt quite embarrassed about that. On the left and right sides, her steps would land on spots without patterns. What should she do now?
"If people were playing this game normally, they would definitely go straight, right? There's no need to agonize over which way to go."
After hesitating for a moment longer, Wriggle resolutely stepped forward. This made Mystia and Daiyousei pause. As she stepped onto the event pattern, Wriggle's heart pounded faster, so loudly she could hear it herself.
After a piece of text appeared, Wriggle immediately read it.
"A playful kiss with Kars on a swing in a garden full of seasonal flowers, leaving behind beautiful memories. The player will be directly teleported to the garden."
After reading this, Wriggle, like Rumia, appeared in a flower garden set up on a nearby road segment. She was sitting on a white chair swing, with Kars, who had just fed Rumia, sitting beside her.
Thinking of what she had to do next, Wriggle's face flushed. Kars looked at her shy expression and knew she wouldn't object to what he was about to do. He leaned in and, as she shyly closed her eyes, kissed her lips.
The soft feeling on her lips made Wriggle's closed eyelids tremble. Then, she slowly opened her eyes slightly to look at Kars in front of her.
"Is this what kissing feels like?" The contact of their lips sent an electric sensation throughout Wriggle's body. Also, because they had just finished eating dessert, she could taste sweet cream on Kars's lips. However, before she could enjoy it enough, the event ended.
This situation left Wriggle feeling reluctant. She even wanted to stop Kars and make him continue. This made her remember the Extra Chance card she had just received. She immediately took it out and used it on Kars.
"Wait! I… I choose to do it again!"
