The Stand in the Everyday World

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the size of the box in confusion, then looked at Fujii Shunsuke, wondering where this box of Monopoly came from.

"Senbei, which company made this Monopoly game? It looks different from the ones on the market. I've never played this before."

Yuigahama Yui also came over, picked up the box on the table and took a look: "There is no annotation on it, not even a trademark."

"Well, this was made by a friend of mine. She and her friend are in the board game department. They made a new game and wanted me to help them try it out and give them some advice."

"Wow, that's amazing!" said Yuigahama Yui.

"The board game club?" Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, "Aren't all of them men? Where did this woman come from, and how could she be your friend?"

Kitagawa Umi asked in surprise: "How did Xiaoxue know that?"

"You can remember these things quickly as long as you want to." Yukinoshita Yukino said lightly.

"Actually, Yukinoshita didn't have any friends before, and was too bored, so I could only remember these useless things."

Shunsuke Fujii leaned close to Kitagawa Umi's ear and spoke in a low voice that everyone could hear.

Yukinoshita Yukino gave Fujii Shunsuke a sidelong look and said, "Don't change the subject."

"Hmm? You're paying so much attention to this matter. Do you care about me a lot, Yukinoshita?"

"Can some people please stop being so narcissistic? I just don't want to be cheated."

"Yes, yes, thanks for the plane you sent."

"?"

"You should recognize that person Yukinoshita. She's the one that Momobami Kirari took me to the party with last time. She's the one with pink hair and big breasts, Chika Fujiwara. She's from the Shuuin Board Game Club."

"Fujiwara is actually pretty easy to get along with, but it seems like you haven't spoken much to her, Yukinoshita, so do you remember?"

"I see. Of course I remember it. It was very... nothing."

Yukinoshita Yukino thought of the pair of extra fat that made her unhappy.

She is the daughter of the political family Fujiwara, but she is so frivolous. Compared with Fujiwara Chika, she prefers Shinomiya Kaguya of the Shinomiya family and Shijo Maki of the Shijo family.

"Knock knock knock."

Just as everyone was getting ready to begin, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Hey, are there guests coming at this time? What a coincidence."

Kitagawa Umi complained, then ran to open the door very noticeably.

"welcome."

"Hello, I am...ah, am I here at the wrong time? Am I disturbing you?"

After walking in and preparing to introduce herself, Chitanda Eru looked at everyone playing games around the table and began to feel like backing out.

"It's okay. It hasn't started yet anyway. Come in, Chitanda-san." Yukinoshita Yukino started pouring tea. "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was quite polite to this classmate with a good personality.

"If I have to say what's bothering me, I have some troubles recently." Chitanda Eru sat down and turned to look at Fujii Shunsuke, "and it has a lot to do with Fujii-san from the Service Club."

"Ah, me?" Fujii Shunsuke pointed at himself in surprise, "Chitanda-san, it must have been a long time since I last met you. What happened to me?"

"It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, which is why I'm bothered."

"Um?!"

Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui both looked over.

Chitanda Eru continued, "Recently, Fujii-san, you haven't been going to the Classics Department at all. And the atmosphere between Director Iwase and Senior Kasumigaoka has been getting worse and worse. I don't even dare to stay in the Classics Department anymore. I thought that Fujii-san seemed to have joined the Service Club, so I came here without realizing it."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly: "So, Chitanda-san, do you want us to help mediate the relationship between Kasumigaoka Utaha and Iwase Aiko?"

"It would be the best if that were the case, but this is a private matter between Kasumigaoka-senpai and the others..." Chitanda Eru hesitated and shook her head, "So I didn't come here for this. I just thought about Fujii-san and came here like this."

"I'm really sorry to bother you with this matter."

Chitanda Eru bowed politely, her movements showing the demeanor of a well-educated young lady.

"No interruptions, no interruptions. Since you have nothing to do, Chitanda-san, why don't you come and play Monopoly with us? The more people there are, the more fun it is." Fujii Shunsuke quickly changed the subject.

Shunsuke Fujii has always kept his distance from girls like Iwase Aiko, who is serious to the point of being rigid, yet also very rational and three-dimensional, and doesn't really want to have any contact with her.

"Will I come and play too? Will it bother you?"

"No, no, come on, it will be more lively with more people." Fujii Shunsuke was very enthusiastic.

Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a moment, but finally did not stop her: "Chitanda-san, if you don't mind, let's play together."

Seeing that the host said so, Chitanda Eru no longer refused. She took the chair handed to her by Kitagawa Umi and sat down at the table.

"Then I'll be the first one!"

Kitagawa Umi was in high spirits and rolled the dice first, with the number being 6.

Shunsuke Fujii watched with a smile, and did not use [Star Platinum] to do anything. It was just a game, there was no need to take it so seriously.

Kitagawa Umi asked doubtfully, "Misfortune?" as he walked to the sixth square with his chess piece.

"Well, now is the time to turn this card over and see what unfortunate incident it was."

Fujii Shunsuke explained after taking a quick look at the rules of the game and memorizing them all.

Yukinoshita Yukino took the rulebook and looked at it, then nodded to Kitagawa Umi.

"I'm unlucky today... What does this [traffic accident] mean?"

"Well, this is the event card for a traffic accident. Hai Meng, you need to roll the dice again to make a judgment. If it is 1--"

"Senior, it's 1!" Kitagawa Umi patted Fujii Shunsuke on the back and interrupted him.

"........Well, Hai Meng, you are already dead."

At this time, Shunsuke Fujii had begun to regret why he did not summon the [Star Platinum] first and be ready at all times.

"What do you mean dead?"

"Once you're dead, you're dead. The game is over. Hai Meng, you're out. You're the last one."

"Ah, I'm out at the start? What kind of Monopoly game has such an outrageous mechanism!"

Kitagawa Umi, this is totally unacceptable.

ps: Double update

394. The Service Department Reopens

"Well, it's no use telling me that this is how the game is designed." Fujii Shunsuke also thought it was outrageous. "That's great, Haimeng, you just take this point, and I will give feedback to the other party later."

"We were supposed to play this ice-breaking game to celebrate my joining the service club..."

Kitagawa Kaimeng looked at Fujii Shunsuke with resentment and muttered softly.

"Ahem, how about we start over?"

Shunsuke Fujii asked while looking at Yukinoshita Yukino and the others.

But before anyone else could answer, Kitagawa Umi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if we have to start over again after every bad result, then we won't be able to continue the game. Don't worry about me, seniors, just continue playing."

"Then it's your turn next, Chitanda-san." Fujii Shunsuke handed the dice to Chitanda Eru.

Chitanda Eru stepped on the lucky square.

"Well, Chitanda-san got 500 million yen from the wallet he found on the way to school."

"How can there be so much money in a wallet?" Kitagawa Umi complained.

"It's just a game, don't take it seriously. It's my turn now." Although Fujii Shunsuke wanted to complain, this was a game after all. He threw the dice and then stepped on the unlucky square like Kitagawa Umi.

Kitagawa Umi excitedly urged Fujii Shunsuke to throw it quickly. Fujii Shunsuke glanced at him and decisively summoned the [Star Platinum], allowing himself to successfully overcome the "misfortune".

Then it was Yuigahama Yui, who walked onto the ordinary grid and spent the first round in an ordinary way.

"After school event card?" Turning over the event card, Yukinoshita Yukino recalled the rule sheet, "This seems to allow you to choose whether to play outside or study at home after school. I'll choose to study at home."

"Well, it fits your character, Yukinoshita. Here, this nerd card is for you."

"........"

"Okay, after a round, the grids that were stepped on will be recycled, so that the people behind can catch up."

Shunsuke Fujii put away a few cards and started a new round.

"Event card, you become a hero to a certain girl."

Shunsuke Fujii read out the contents of his card.

Kitagawa Umi came over curiously and asked, "Senior, what is this?"

"Well, this is an unknown event. If someone triggers a new random event later, it is possible that they will be linked together to form a linkage, and there will be a bonus when they get married in the adult stage."

"marry?!"

"Well, this game has four stages: boyhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. It's normal to have marriage, right? Here, Chitanda, it's your turn."

Chitanda Eru: "Ah, I think I made money again."

Yuigahama Yui: "Still nothing happened..."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "My friends have decreased, but my studies have improved."

Shunsuke Fujii: "Well, now that I'm in high school, I have one more bond."

Generally speaking, the game develops in such a calm and conventional manner.

“I feel like this game is so weird.”

Kitagawa Umi, who was watching from the sidelines, offered some pertinent opinions as an outsider.

Shunsuke Fujii had the same feeling, because after his own bonding event, Yukinoshita Yukino quickly drew the random event of "being isolated by classmates because of good grades", Yuigahama Yui drew the random event of "your dog was rescued by someone", and Chitanda Eru drew the random event of "the mystery you have always cared about has been solved by someone".

These random events just happen to correspond to my own.

This game is so weird.

As the game progresses, Chitanda Eru uses the money she has to buy an entire county of land to grow vegetables, Yukinoshita Yukino is admitted to a good university because of her nerd card, Fujii Shunsuke hooks up with a rich woman and gets a lot of money, and Yuigahama Yui's ordinary life is true.

“This game experience is terrible.”

Even with Yuigahama Yui's personality, she couldn't help but complain.

Kitagawa Umi nodded in agreement: "This is just a rubbish game."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face didn't look very good either. Only Chitanda Eru seemed a little obsessed with it.

However, just when Shunsuke Fujii finally threw out the belated marriage event, there was another rhythmic knock on the door.

"Usually no one comes for a week or even a month, so why are they all crowded together today?" Fujii Shunsuke was very curious.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the table, and finally decided to ignore it and said, "Please come in."

"excuse me."

The door was opened, and Hayato Hayama walked into the service club with a smile that made people feel favorable towards him.

Then Fujii Shunsuke saw that he was obviously stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the Service Club to be so lively.

Especially seeing these four beautiful girls sitting around the only boy, and thinking about the name of the Service Club... Which service is this? Can the school allow such a club to exist?

As a healthy young high school student, Hayato Hayama, who was also reading the book, complained in his heart, but on the surface he adjusted himself instantly.

"I'm really sorry to come to you at this time, but I do have something to ask of you." With a warm smile on his face, Hayato Hayama thanked Kitagawa Umi and took the chair she handed him and sat down. "But I really can't get away from the club, so I can only come now. Sorry."

"Thank you for introducing yourself." Yukinoshita Yukino said indifferently, "So what are you doing here, Hayato Hayama?"

When she was a child, Yukinoshita Yukino was isolated by the girls in her class. Even in the 80s, Hayato Hayama, who was in the same class and had known her since their fathers' generation and could be considered her childhood sweetheart, did not lend a helping hand.

Of course, even if they are childhood sweethearts, Hayato Hayama is not obliged to lend a helping hand to Yukinoshita Yukino. It is human nature to worry about being dragged into it, and other people have no obligation to save themselves. As a person who is "absolutely right", Yukinoshita Yukino knows this very well, so she will not hold a grudge against Hayato Hayama.

Although she is narrow-minded, she is not that petty.

However, it is normal to be indifferent to Hayato Hayama and handle things impartially.

"I heard from Mr. Hiratsuka that if there is any trouble, I can ask the Service Club for help, so I came here. As for the reason..."

Hayato Hayama didn't care about Yukinoshita Yukino's indifference at all, or perhaps he felt guilty towards Yukinoshita Yukino in his heart, so he couldn't care.

Hayato Hayama looked at Shunsuke Fujii and said, "I think you have already guessed what Fujii said."
