I am only one world away from Yukinoshita.

Just like a master chef in a traditional sushi restaurant, Yukino yakiniku showcases her knife skills in front of everyone, almost like a performance. The few people sitting on the side watching Yukino yakiniku are just as eager as the tourists to take out their phones and capture the scene.

Every time Yukino cut off a piece of meat, everyone would immediately applaud, making Yukino want to give each of them a glass of cold water.

As small pieces of butter melted rapidly on the hot plate, turning into tiny, puffing bubbles, and the satisfying sizzle that occurred the moment the steak touched the butter, everyone involuntarily swallowed.

Yukino's movements were very skillful. The beef gradually changed from red with interspersed white patterns to brown, while the meat in the middle remained a bright red. The sharp knife cut the beef into small pieces, and you could see myoglobin flowing out from inside.

Arrange the roasted beef on a plate, stack it in a fan shape, and place it in front of everyone. There are also small dishes of condiments and sauces next to it.

Looking at the exquisite plating, the group was a little unsure where to start. However, they ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the food. When the first pair of chopsticks picked up a piece of beef, the others were already ready to dig in. No words were needed; the plates were emptied in an instant, which said it all.

This dinner lasted from dusk until sunset, and then from sunset until the stars filled the sky.

"It feels like I've eaten up all of tomorrow's meals..."

Kumiko, holding her belly, sat in a chair and looked up at the starry sky.

"There are also desserts."

The devil's whispers echoed in my ears, as if I were instantly transported back to those evenings of tutoring during my senior year of high school.

"Ugh... Kiyorai, you devil..."

"Desserts are in a separate stomach."

"I can't eat anymore..."

Kumiko had done plenty of things in her senior year of high school, saying no but her body said no. To escape these seductive words and avoid being bewitched, she immediately jumped up from the folding chair and rushed toward Nozomi and Reina, who were cleaning up the mess.

"I'll help!"

Qinglai walked to a corner, feeling refreshed, and sat down to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.

"Chiang Lai?"

Turning my head, I saw Yukino holding a pudding.

"I noticed you didn't eat much just now." He handed the pudding to Kiyoyori.

“No, I ate quite a bit of beef later,” she said, without taking the pudding. (Edited) “Feed me.”

It's quiet here, and there's no need to worry about other people suddenly coming over. When you're close to someone, you can hear their heartbeat and feel their warm body temperature.

"Mmm, it's so sweet. Did Yukino put too much sugar in it?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned in confusion, then took a bite of the pudding with the same small spoon. "No, it's just been cut out the whole time!"

I tasted pudding again, but it seemed different from the previous one.

"Hmm, it seems like we put in too much."

P.S.: Not many comments anymore. Could it be that I'm now just an author who exists only in the past? Speaking of which, hahaha, sinking the ship is so much fun! Waaaaaah! The author has gone mad; if you need anything, burn some tickets!

Chapter 151 Extra - We're 08

As dusk fell, the autumn chill became increasingly apparent. Since they had to get up early the next day, they couldn't stay up too late, especially Kiyoshi and Nozomi, who would be driving almost all day. Thus, the six of them were about to face a very crucial question.

“Well then,” Kiyotaka said, tidying up the snacks on the table and adopting a serious posture, “let’s decide on our sleeping arrangements for tonight.”

When this topic came up, everyone's eyes sharpened.

The comfortable RV has four beds for four people. The first assumption is that the six people are in groups of three couples. So, the first choice for everyone is the comfortable master bedroom at the back of the vehicle. Not only can they enjoy the soft bed, but they also have a sweet and gentle lover. As long as they draw the curtain, they can block the view of the other two people in the vehicle. As long as they don't make a lot of noise, it is equivalent to a small private space.

Without a doubt, this is the primary target that everyone is vying for.

The other two beds on the vehicle are a single bed above the driver's seat and a combination of a booth and a table, which is currently in use. While it's firmer than a regular bed, a blanket will make it manageable for one night. However, the biggest drawback is that you can't sleep with your partner, meaning—

If things go wrong, during this trip where the other four couples are all sleeping together in loving harmony, one of the couples will suffer a sleepless night, especially with the other two couples in contrast.

So--

An outdoor tent became the second choice. Although it was not as comfortable as the master bedroom, the outdoor tent could be considered a real private space. There was a sleeping bag inside, and you could choose to sleep as usual. The only downside was that the chirping of insects at night would be quite loud, which might affect your sleep. But as long as you can be with the person you love, with the earth as your mat and the starry sky as your blanket, it is quite a romantic thing!

The goal is—

As long as you don't break up with your partner, it's fine!

Especially for Mizore and Nozomi, who are currently living apart, as well as Reina and Kumiko, Kiyoyori has absolutely no intention of giving up this position.

"Let's have a match."

Qinglai rested his chin on his hand with his fingers interlaced.

Her serious expression made Yukino think they were going to have a musical competition, since everyone present could play instruments, however...

Under everyone's gaze, Kiyorai took out a large box from the drawer under the chair, which was labeled "Life Game".

Upon seeing the word "game," Yukino looked at Kiyoyori with a complicated expression, who seemed to have no self-awareness whatsoever.

“This is a game of life, unlike Monopoly. You don’t need to be meticulous in your calculations, there’s no land to buy, and no houses to build,” she said, opening the box and taking out the props inside. “It’s a game that’s entirely based on luck.”

In other words, this game puts everyone on the same starting line, whether they are gaming experts or complete novices.

The only difference here is between European seals and African chieftains!

Mizore also showed a rare serious expression, all for Nozomi's sake.

On the other hand, Kumiko was even more intense, as if a flame was burning in her chest. Every minute and second she spent alone with Reina was precious, and she wanted to make things clear to Reina during this trip!

Games start.

Each person chose a character and began their own journey.

The Game of Life, as the name suggests, is a board game that recreates a virtual life. Unlike Monopoly, this game only uses two dice, a spinning wheel, and cards dropped into different boxes to determine the winner. The game continues until everyone has completed a round, and then the players compare their wealth, or money, and the person with the most money is the winner.

The game rules are very simple and straightforward.

The order of spinning the wheel starts with Yukino and proceeds clockwise.

The first step is to draw a profession.

Kiyoshi took out another stack of small cards, shuffled them, and Yukino started drawing first.

It has to be said that the professions in the game are incredibly diverse, ranging from practical to impractical. Yukino was the first to draw one—

Boxer.

Eh?

Everyone stared at the card depicting a muscular cartoon figure wearing boxing gloves, rubbed their eyes, and made sure they hadn't misread the words below.

Yukino:......

This seemed to be hinting at something, and everyone's attention shifted to Kiyotaka, a sudden chill running down their spines.

"Next up is Nozomi."

Calming herself, Nozomi hesitantly reached for the cards that were unfolded and arranged in a fan shape. However, the moment they unfolded, everyone was stunned.

(Edited)?!

An even more outrageous profession than Yukino's boxer has appeared; the flamboyant card art seems to be mocking the bad luck of those with bad luck.

Isn't this supposed to be an all-ages game? Why is there such a suggestive profession?

Mizore's expression cracked for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "I love Nozomi no matter what she is like."

Feeling as if she were holding a hot potato, Nozomi could only give an awkward smile.

What an unexpected life...

When Ying drew her card, everyone stared intently at the card held in her fair fingers, as if they could burn a hole in it.

Upon opening the card, one finds a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck, representing the most normal profession imaginable, almost unbelievably so.

Ying calmly placed the card in the booklet, as if she had already grasped victory.

Is this what Europeans call a leopard leap?

Beside Mizore was Kumiko. Perhaps it was the profession Mizore drew that gave her confidence, as she casually picked out a card with a dolphin drawn on it, surrounded by many other deep-sea creatures. For a moment, Kumiko thought that the card she drew had even changed her race.

Aquarium trainers...

It's a fairly normal profession, and it seems quite interesting.

Kumiko nodded in satisfaction, unaware that this was only the beginning of a nightmare.

When Reina drew cards next, she remained calm and without hesitation immediately pulled one out of the deck, flipping it over with a flourish – Idol.

The circular stage and dazzling lights seemed to hint at a bright future for Reina.

The income of this profession has very uncertain upper and lower limits, and it seems to be the only profession that can currently rival the income of Ying's doctor.

Kiyoshi, who drew the last card, was under immense pressure. Although Yukino's boxer card seemed strange, with good luck, she could become a sports star. However, with bad luck, she would be a failure, making it a risky profession like being an idol. If she could draw a stable job with a certain career path, she could challenge Mizore.

For example, lawyers, or researchers.

Without further hesitation, Kiyoshi deftly pulled out a card and flipped it over.

The comical pose on the card, reminiscent of Ultraman from the live-action cartoons he watched as a child, left Kiyoyori momentarily speechless.

--hero.

Eh?

P.S.: Hey, you guys are no good! Who was it that said they wanted candy and dog food in the first place? I've only given you half, and you're already full? No one's leaving comments because they have toothaches, so I guess I should just post more stomach medicine in the main text.

Please see the announcement if you have any questions.

Chapter 152 Extra - We're 09

The first to laugh was Yukino, who usually gave off a rather serious impression. Perhaps it was because Kiyori's impression on her was so deep that this person, who habitually wandered around outside of music, became the center of attention. This was completely different from Kiyori's usual self. Yukino knew that her lover was not a show-off. Except when he was in the band, he would try his best to compete for the most prominent position of solo, he usually kept a low profile.

Hero—there is no profession more incongruous with Kiyoyori than this.
