Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

My husband drank too much? That's impossible. They weren't gone for long. And if it was just business, even if Walter came from Anti-Entropy, my husband wouldn't be this drunk.

Pretending?

Airi and Kaguya thought of it at the same time, and soon, the two of them, whose minds had been working together, understood.

They've really got a good plan.

Kaguya didn't seem to mind, since she could choose to join, but Airi's lips curled up slightly, her smile unchanged, looking 'innocent'.

"That's a real shame. But you and Xi'er can each take care of A-Yu. A-Yu is very well-behaved when he's had too much to drink. He'll sleep peacefully once we put him on the bed. Everyone's really looking forward to playing games with you guys, so please have one of you stay with us, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Bronya's heart skipped a beat, and she knew in her heart that something was wrong.

This pink-haired fairy clearly knows what Nangong Yu is like when he's drunk. Her words are both a threat and a cunning scheme to sow discord. She's so babyish!

She immediately turned her head and met Seele's gaze.

"Sister Bronya~"

Seeing Seele's expression—three parts pleading, three parts grievance, and the remaining 94 parts all about using her sister's identity to scheme—Bronya couldn't help but twitch her lips.

After a moment of silence, Bronya released Nangong Yu's arm.

"Seele loves Bronya the most!"

"Haha~"

Looking at that sweet smile, Bronya felt as cold as a Siberian winter.

Sisterly affection?

Huh~

Just a joke.

She turned and left without a moment's hesitation.

Until she sat down next to Alicia, until Seele's hand was on the doorknob of the innermost bedroom.

Ellie hugged Bronya's arm affectionately, and her sweet voice rang out again, even raising it deliberately, as if she were speaking to someone.

"The prize for the ultimate winner this time is a 'random command coupon' signed by Ah Yu! How about it, Ya Ya, aren't you excited?"

Seele froze, her hand gripping the doorknob.

Bronya smiled.

Chapter 171 Alicia's Little Thoughts~ (11/22)

A few minutes later, Bronya looked at Seele sitting next to her, looking obedient and well-behaved, and couldn't help but sneer.

Just then, she felt her hand being pulled. Looking down, she saw that Seele had quietly grasped her palm with her little hand.

With a gentle tug, it was pulled away, but the little hand quickly came back and grabbed it again, which Bronya pulled away once more.

A few seconds later, her hand was grabbed again. Turning her head, she was immediately met with Seele's pitiful expression, and her attempt to break free froze.

"Tsk."

She smacked her lips and glared at Xier in annoyance. Upon seeing this, Xier immediately chuckled and hugged her arm, looking like a clingy little sister.

Seele has quite a few tricks up her sleeve when it comes to pleasing her older siblings.

"Alright, it seems all our lovely girls have arrived~"

Noticing Seele running out of the room to come over, Ellie's smile deepened.

Sure enough, Seele has arrived.

Xilin, her face flushed, rushed back after changing into her nightgown.

The girls, each with their own unique charm, formed a circle. Ellie clapped her hands and tilted her head cutely: "Since there are two new girls, let me go over the rules again~"

Pointing at the table to attract everyone's attention, Ellie continued, "There are three games on the table now: UNO, Solitaire, and Monopoly. Each round, the loser of the previous round chooses which game to play."

"At the end of each round, the winner does not receive any points, while the final loser receives 1 point and must choose between Truth or Dare to complete. The winner of the round is responsible for drawing the answer to either Truth or Dare."

When Ellie pointed to two small boxes in the center of the table containing many slips of paper, Celine's cheeks flushed even redder, and a deep resentment flashed in her eyes.

“When the count reaches 10, the participant will be eliminated, and the remaining girls will continue to start a new round until the last remaining winner is determined.”

As she spoke, she took out a paper ticket that was clearly hand-drawn, with the words "Unrestricted Command Ticket" written on it in cute font, and Nangong Yu's signature in the lower right corner.

Instantly, Bronya, Seele, Kaguya, and Sirin's eyes lit up with fervor.

Kiana kept a straight face, and suddenly she felt that she might also want to give it a shot.

Only Mei remained unmoved, smiling. She had come genuinely wanting to play games with everyone and wasn't interested in the coupon.

"Wait, won't it take too long to count 10 points?"

Bronya suddenly spoke up and asked.

Card games and UNO are fine, but Monopoly is a really time-consuming game. Waiting until only one person is left is going to take forever. She was even thinking of celebrating her victory with rain when she got back.

"Well, we don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway, so let's make the most of this rare opportunity and have some fun!"

Kiana chuckled and replied, which made Sirin nod repeatedly: "Yeah, let's have some fun. Everyone is usually so busy, it's rare for us to get together like this."

She had to agree, because she was the only one whose score was being tallied. If the score were reduced, she would probably be the first one eliminated.

"Hmm...that's fine too."

After thinking for a moment, Bronya nodded.

Seeing that no one had any further objections, Ellie immediately smiled and said, "Ahem, then without further ado, let's start the game now. The loser of the last round was Sirin, so Sirin, you can choose the type of game for this round."

"Ah."

Nodding, Xilin looked at the three board games on the table and began to ponder.

First off, Monopoly is a no-go; it's too luck-dependent, and I feel like no one can beat Kiana at it.

Playing cards requires a lot of skill and teamwork. Sirin glanced at Seele and Bronya opposite her and shook her head inwardly.

Finally, she turned her gaze to the center.

UNO, it's the one I choose!

UNO is a well-known card game worldwide. It consists of wild cards, action cards, and number cards. Each player starts with seven cards. When playing a card, it must be the same color or symbol as the top card in the discard pile. If a player has no cards to play, they draw a card from the top of the pile. The first player to play all their cards wins.

The rules are simple, and it's quite fun to play.

Soon, everyone had seven cards in their hands. Xilin, as the dealer, played her first card. She observed the suits in her hand and quickly played one.

"Red 3"

Mei: Red 6

Seele: Red +2

Bronya looked at Seele's innocent face, sighed, and then reached out and drew two cards.

Then, she played a green +2 card.

"She let me draw cards right away; Duck Duck has some bad intentions."

Despite saying that, Ellie showed no sign of regret. She smiled, picked up two cards, and even hummed a song.

Xilin had pretty good luck with her cards this round; she had a smooth run almost all the way through and didn't get stuck with any of them. She won on her first try every time.

Soon, she had only one card left in her hand.

She shouted 'UNO', and the cards were quickly played again, landing on Kiana, the person before her. Sirin immediately became excited.

Kiana scratched her head, realizing she had no cards to play, and slowly reached into the deck.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Clutching the last wild card in her hand, Sirin kept urging herself on.

Regardless of whether Kiana plays a card or not, she can play this wild card, meaning this game is practically a guaranteed win...

"Ah, +4, Sirin, it's your turn."

With her hand still in the card-playing posture, Sirin's eyes twitched as she looked at the ace Kiana had played from the discard pile.

Ace: Changes the color of the current card played. The next player is penalized by drawing 4 cards and is suspended from playing once. The next player immediately plays.

Silently drawing four cards and placing them in her hand, Sirin slowly calmed her urge to kill someone.

It's okay, it's okay, as long as I'm not last, Xilin silently comforted herself.

......

"I've played all my wild cards~"

Ellie happily threw out her last card and looked at Sirin, the only one left on the field.

She only had one card left in her hand, and now she was bowing her head in silence.

Kiana, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere, patted her shoulder and said cheerfully, "You're last again! Come on, go choose, truth or dare?"

Celine glared at Kiana, then threw the remaining wild card into the deck, saying with some annoyance, "Let's choose truth this time."

It might be embarrassing, but it's better than that previous dare, right?

"Hmm~ Since that's the case, Kiana, you're in first place, why don't you draw one for Sirin?"

As Sirin looked at the box being pushed in front of Kiana, her throat bobbed, her tense expression as if Kiana was about to open Pandora's box.

No, this is Pandora's box that will bring 'disaster' to her!

In her nervous state, Kiana quickly pulled out a slip of paper, unfolded it, and read it aloud.

What is the most sensitive part of your body?

As Kiana finished speaking, everyone's attention immediately turned to Sirin.

Her face flushed red instantly. Was this something she could say in public?!

"Don't lie~" Bronya reminded him cheerfully.

"I, I know..."

Lowering her head and covering her burning cheeks, Xilin hesitated for a long time before whispering, "My chest..."
