In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

But then he noticed something was wrong. Even after he had put the matter behind him, Hikigaya's eyes were still wandering, as if... he had done something to offend him?

Mr. Hikigaya had no ill intentions. After seeing his old friend in his quilt spirit mode, he guessed a little about his state, so...

Hikigaya smiled sheepishly and silently took two steps to the left to make way for the door.

"Hello~!"

A pink-haired girl who couldn't be determined grabbed the wrists of two cute girls with reluctant expressions on their faces, and then an energetic Fujiwara Chika jumped out of the door!

It also successfully made Xia Yan's eyes go dark.jpg

Then, his murderous gaze fell directly on Hikigaya's face, which was maintaining an awkward but polite smile.

You still say you didn't do it on purpose?!

……

……

Nogi Group, inside the fighters' accommodation room.

When the Kengan Fatal Tournament was unexpectedly interrupted and it was absolutely impossible to rematch it, and Katahara Metsudo had to take responsibility for the accident and the resulting casualties, and had to resign as the president of the Kengan Kai.

Nogi Hideki, the leader of the group who instigated the Kengan Fatal Tournament, thus gained a precious opportunity - he could have one of his fighters challenge the 32 corporate fighters who were still dissatisfied with his succession to the chairmanship in the Fatal Tournament in a defending manner.

If the fighters under his command can win all the challenges in these rounds with rest periods in between, then he will be able to take over the position of the new generation president of the Kengan Association!

In the end, Nogi Hideki didn't know whether it was because of his strength or because Fuyun, who needed to rely on the combat state, was indeed not suitable for continuous battles, so he did not choose Hatsumi Izumi, with whom he had worked the longest.

Instead, after discussion, Yamashita Ou and Jukijisha Ouma were pushed to the position of defending fighters.

Since Kuroki had already fought with him and had no interest in coming over to fight Ouma again, Nogi Hideki's choice was undoubtedly the right one.

but……

"It seems that this defense battle may have to be postponed for a while."

Returning to reality, Wang Ma lay powerlessly on the bed, taking a weak breath, his mind still recalling the battle in the tower.

Just as someone who was watching the fight said, in his fight with Erhu, although both sides showed no mercy and every move was fatal, in the absence of actual death, their fight could only be described as a family affair.

In the end, Juukishima did not lose to his master Erhu, but instead completely surpassed him and won the victory.

So what Wang Ma was thinking about at this moment was what he had said when he was still able to see the illusionary Erhu because of God's words, and what the real Erhu wanted to say to him before he died.

Now, he finally got the answer he wanted in the tower.

Don't avenge me, and don't kill anymore...

"Live well... huh?"

At this moment, Juukishima suddenly raised his right arm and covered his eyes with it, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Well, this result is not too bad after all."

……

……

"Uh, Kaguya Shinomiya and Shinji Shijou-san?"

At this time, in the office on the other side, several classmates from the same school sat down around the coffee table after introducing themselves to each other.

Xia Yan looked at the pink-haired boy sitting in the middle of the sofa across from him, flanked by girls. He couldn't help but wonder, "So, Qianhua, what's the matter with you bringing these two students here?"

"Jiangjiangjiang~"

Chika Fujiwara made a sound that reminded Xia Yan of a certain Doraemon, and she was indeed very appropriate. She pulled out a large square box from her backpack and said proudly, "It's done! This is the new game we made together!"

"After discussions between me, Terajima-senpai, Natsuko, Yukinoshita, Yuigahama-san, and many other creators, we decided to name it [Shuchiin: Harmony? Strange Stories of Love] Board Game~"

"No, you haven't discussed this with me at all!?" Xia Yan complained, and looked at the two people next to him who were also mentioned.

"Me too, I haven't heard of this at all."

"Likewise, and..."

Hikigaya and the other man denied it. They were extremely busy with the boxing match these days and had no time to listen to such trivial matters.

Xue Noi even glared at a certain pink-haired person who once wanted to usurp the throne: "I don't remember helping you make this game?"

"Well, well, don't say that."

Fujiwara Chika, on the other hand, showed a cheeky look, completely unaffected. She opened the box in her hand and said cheerfully, "Yukinoshita-san helped us collect a lot of information about strange stories, and the others also provided character prototypes. So this game was created by everyone together, so..."

"Let's have fun playing games together~"

"So you dragged Shinomiya-san and Shijo-san here, wasn't it just for something like this?"

Xia Yan watched as Fujiwara Chika spread out a game drawing that looked like a map on the coffee table between the people, and couldn't help but continue to make fun of it.

"Yeah, of course board games are more fun the more people play them. Isn't that natural?"

Hearing this, Fujiwara Chika looked back at Xia Yan in surprise, "And these game characters, didn't you also participate in the design? For the first unboxing game, of course we have to gather everyone to play!"

"Besides, they are all my best friends. As long as they are free, I just ask them a little and they agree to come with me!"

"No, you totally dragged me here."

Shijo Maki, with her brown hair tied into short twintails and a pair of very beautiful purple eyes, elegantly supported her right elbow with her hands spread out towards Shinomiya Kaguya, saying, "I never thought that I would end up in a place like this with my 'Aunt~' because of something like this."

Well, what does this girl say...

Xia Yan glanced at her calmly - in short, Fei Chang was miserable, another ultimate loser.

Faced with the provocative words from Shijo Shinki, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had a pair of red eyes and long black hair, was also very angry... She took the teacup handed over by Yukino and sipped the tea with an expressionless face.

Bing Huiye, no feelings.jpg

"Aunt?" There was something inhuman about it, and it was a little curious about the word uttered by the little girl.

"Oh, my Shijo family is related to Shinomiya-san by blood, so if we talk about seniority, Aunt Shinomiya and I are about two generations apart..."

The four concubines answered casually as if no one was around, not realizing that the voice did not come from anyone present.

Then, in this strange atmosphere where only one person was talking and the rest were silent, only Fujiwara Chika remained completely unaffected. She pointed to the blueprint on the coffee table and said, "Next, let me explain the rules of the game."

Xia Yan leaned over to take a look and found that it was actually a map of Xiuzhiyuan, but the details were greatly reduced, and only the general campus terrain and building outlines were drawn.

On these buildings or other places, there are also some words such as teaching building, laboratory building, courtyard, blood pool, etc.

Yes, this game drawing is clearly hand-drawn and handwritten.

"I asked a friend from the painting club to draw this."

Fujiwara Chika, the connection king of Shuchiin, proudly straightened her giant body and said, "By the way, has anyone among you ever played a script-killing game?"

Upon hearing this, more than half of the people present shook their heads. You can guess who they were - they were all a group of guys who either had social anxiety or no friends. How could they have played this kind of live-action game that required multiple people?

"Well, it doesn't matter if you haven't played it before. The board game we made is similar to a simplified version of a script-killing game with some modifications. Many things will be replaced by cards. Anyway, we will talk while playing."

Fujiwara Chika proudly circled around the crowd, then noticed something was amiss with the atmosphere. She quickly ran to manually "turn off the lights"—meaning she closed the curtains, creating a somewhat dim and eerie atmosphere. Then, she nodded in satisfaction and said,

"The background of this board game is that we, the students of Xiuzhiyuan, are delayed in leaving school for various reasons. After nightfall, we are trapped by some "things" in the school and cannot leave the school gates no matter what."

"What we have to do is to find a way to survive in the school until dawn, or find the source of why we can't leave the school and solve it!"

"Now, let's draw your identity cards. These are your corresponding character pieces and talent cards."

Fujiwara Chika attentively approached everyone and asked them to draw a card each, while Terajima, a senior from the board game club who seemed to have little presence, began to distribute chess pieces and corresponding talent cards to everyone.

It can be clearly seen that these small chess pieces are made based on the appearance of the people present, but they are all Q-version in appearance, without the lower body. On the base are the round Q-version upper bodies of the people wearing school uniforms.

Xia Yan first turned over the talent card that was sent along with his chess piece.

[Name: Xia Yan]

【Physique: 10】

【Inspiration: 0】

[Talent: The ultimate reckless man with zero inspiration!

Effect: Your inspiration will be locked at 0 and cannot be increased in any way, but your fists can cause (Physique x 50%) damage to "spiritual ghosts"

Note: Powerful! Dominant! Strong!

"Everyone can see the attributes and talents of their own chess pieces, right? Simply put, the two attributes are: physique, which is used to deal with physical monsters, and inspiration, which is used to deal with spiritual monsters."

At this time, Fujiwara Chika's voice continued to sound: "And everyone has a unique talent that suits their individual characteristics."

"Uh, that..."

After handing out the small chess pieces, Terajima-senpai raised his hand a bit sheepishly. "I don't really care, but could I ask who designed this talent that matches my personality?"

Hearing this, everyone looked curiously at the talent card that Terajima-senpai had turned over, and saw the words written on it:

【Talent: Level 3 Head! 】

[Effect: All strange stories related to the "head" will not harm you, everyone!]

"Haha~"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika's eyes narrowed in delight. Then, she looked at someone who seemed to have remembered something, his expression suddenly stiffening. Then, trying not to attract other people's attention, she slowly covered her head with the quilt. "We were able to complete the character's talent design thanks to the great help of Xia Yan..."

"So if you have any questions about this, you can go find him~!"

"..."

A certain quilt remained silent, and only a muffled voice could be heard: "I don't know anything, I haven't designed any character talents, and my name is not Xia Yan. Please call me Quilt Spirit, thank you."

A certain Shijo Shinki classmate standing nearby twitched his eyes when he looked at the character talent on his card. He felt that he had suffered a complete misfortune and was stabbed for no apparent reason.

【Talent: Concubine is very miserable! 】

[Effect: Seeing you've been heartbroken over and over again before it even began, even the ghost stories feel you're too pitiful and are willing to spare your life - every night, you have an unconditional death immunity against ghost stories!]

"..."

Can Xia Yan say that when Fujiwara Chika asked him to design talents for a few "familiar" people, he, on a whim, referred to the bad taste labels that his own system had given to those heroines and designed similar talents for them?

And it wasn't just the four concubines, even the newly arrived, emotionless Ice Kaguya, couldn't help but frown. However, unlike the four concubines who had been stabbed, she frowned because...

【Talent: Blood Pond Mark! 】

[Effect: You risked your life to jump into the notorious blood pool in Xiuzhi Hospital to save someone, but you didn't realize that you have been targeted by "her" without knowing it.

——You will be exempted once from the death caused by strange stories with less than 22 points of inspiration!

——When your identity is "Marked", you will get the same chance again!

Note: She won't let you be killed by other ghost stories!

Note: Hey, are you thirsty? — by Fei Jizi]

"Fujiwara-san?"

Chapter 166: 3 years old, must taste

"Fujiwara-san?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's cold and lifeless red eyes glanced at Fujiwara Chika, her only good friend at the scene.

"It's not me, oh! Regarding any questions about character talents, please refer to this Mr. Quilt Spirit~"

Fujiwara Chika waved her hands repeatedly and curled her lips in Xia Yan's direction with a teasing look on her face. "And Kaguya-san, you were so famous for saving people in the bloody pond. It was even published in the school newspaper. It's normal for this guy to use this story as your little chess piece's character talent."

No, I'm not talking about that...

Shinomiya Kaguya listened to her friend's voice and did not give Xia Yan a cold look. She just stared at the talent card representing herself in her hand, then flipped it closed and turned to pick up another identity card next to her.

[ID Card·Marked Person: You have been marked by a terrifying ghost in the school. As a result, you cannot escape Shuchiin. However, other ghosts will let you go this time because of their taboo against this powerful ghost!]

[Effect: You can choose to unconditionally exempt from a strange attack! ]

"Everyone, those who draw the same identity card will act together as a team."

Fujiwara Chika placed the identity card in her hand on the table and said, "Now let's reveal the identity cards we drew."
