Crossover anime, and you call this a slice-of-life story?

Kirishima Touka was right; her approach to Kasumigaoka Utaha was indeed ill-intentioned.

As a glutton, she has an enormous appetite and has been preying on more humans than necessary.

A normal ghoul can survive for a month without eating, but she takes pleasure in hunting and eating humans.

So, although she did not suffer from hunger when she first came into this world, she could not accept the fact that she could not hunt humans.

Having lost her greatest enjoyment, she decided to try a different way of playing the game.

That is to become friends with the target, and then cruelly kill the target when the target begins to trust you. Although you can't eat them, you can still experience the pleasure of the target's pain and despair.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had no idea that the beautiful woman who gave her the feeling that she understood her was actually a cruel and ruthless monster who liked to trample on life at will, and that her current target was her.

The two exchanged contact information. Rize Kamishiro was still looking for other prey, while Utaha Kasumigaoka had already said goodbye and left.

What puzzled her was that when she left, the young-looking female shop assistant who had been standing near the counter said something inexplicable to her.

"You want me to be careful around Ms. Kamishiro? Not to go out with her at night?"

Although she felt a little strange, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't take it too seriously.

Based on her brief encounter, Ms. Kamishiro appears to be a very intellectual and elegant lady who has also given her a lot of useful advice, which has left her with a very good impression of her.

Besides, even if the other party is a liar, they can't fool her. She's just an ordinary high school student whose novels aren't doing very well.

Surely it couldn't be that he was after her beauty?

Shaking her head slightly, Kasumigaoka Utaha walked towards home.

Rize Kamishiro waited for a long time in the coffee shop but didn't find a second prey that interested her.

She got up to leave, but was stopped by Iruma Kaname, who warned her not to come back, or she would reveal her whereabouts to the powerful in this world.

Rize Kamishiro remained calm, offering only a faint reply without revealing any change in her emotions.

But starting today, Rize Kamishiro has indeed stopped appearing at the coffee shop.

Only Shangguan Yun and Kasumigaoka Shiwa often came over after school.

Shangguan Yun would sometimes bring Tang Keke and Ai Haibara along. Over time, the people in the coffee shop lost their initial reserve towards him.

Even Irimi Kaname, a mature woman, would occasionally crack a joke.

Gu Jianyuan would also chat with Shangguan Yun with a simple and honest expression.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, she was sitting alone at a table in the corner, typing on her computer, without interacting much with others.

The contact with Ms. Kamishiro was naturally not broken. Although she didn't know why she hadn't come to the coffee shop again, the two had been communicating on chat apps and were quite familiar with each other. They even made plans to go out together when they had time.

Having a friend with similar interests is a good thing for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Shangguan Yun heard about Rize Kamishiro from Rujian Xuan and learned about her personality.

But they didn't pay much attention to it, nor did they actively try to find out about the other person.

As long as those annoying guys don't show up under his nose, Shangguan Yun is too lazy to care about them.

At most, I'll tell my brother to send someone to keep an eye out. If he has to handle everything, he'll probably be exhausted.

He came to Japan to escape trouble and enjoy his youth, not to save the world.

Time flew by and it was already the second week.

Wednesday, Shuchiin Academy High School Student Council.

Chika Fujiwara, holding a box labeled "TG" with an expectant look on her face, exclaimed, "We've made a sugoroku game, let's all play it!"

Chapter 40 Kaguya Shinomiya: "Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about luck?!"

Save this or it'll explode.jpg

"Fujiwara-senpai, is this the important thing you mentioned...?"

Yukino Yukinoshita had a bit of a headache. She had been dragged from the classroom by Chika Fujiwara, who said it was something very important.

She has been busy dealing with the service department lately. Shangguan Yun has already applied for an activity room for her, but if she does not fulfill the conditions set by the other party as agreed, the activity room will be taken back.

Yukino Yukinoshita also wants to prove her abilities through this test.

So she had promised Fujiwara Chika she would visit the student council but hadn't gone yet. But today, the other girl came directly to their classroom and dragged her over.

At the time, it attracted the curious glances of many students, who seemed to be wondering why they knew the student council secretary, Fujiwara Chika.

"Oh, what does it matter? Yukino promised to come and play, so you can't run away this time."

Fujiwara Chika held onto Yukino Yukinoshita tightly with one hand to prevent her from escaping.

"I...I won't run away, Fujiwara-senpai, could you...please don't call me that..."

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little awkward and embarrassed by how Fujiwara Chika had addressed her.

Apart from her sister sometimes teasing her, no one had ever used such an intimate term of endearment for her, which made her unsure whether to respond.

"Huh? Is Yukino shy? Hehehe, Yukino is so cute~"

"Please...please don't do this, Fujiwara-senpai..."

Yukino Yukinoshita cast a pleading look at Uesugi Yun.

Seeing the look in Yukinoshita's eyes, Shangguan Yun smiled helplessly and said, "Fujiwara, stop bullying Yukinoshita. The game you were talking about earlier, was it homemade?"

"That's right, that's right!"

As soon as games are mentioned, Chika Fujiwara's attention is instantly diverted.

"This was made by members of our TG club! We arrange the cards in columns to create grids, and then use these to play Sugoroku. This way, they don't take up much space when you need to put them away!"

"This idea is quite interesting."

Yu Ishigami, who had been observing from the sidelines, became somewhat interested in the game.

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika gave her a knowing look, and happily said, "The game is called 'HAPPY LIFE GAME'! I think playing this will be a lot of fun!"

"I refuse."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who was making notes on a piece of paper, spoke up, "Or rather, I have a bad feeling that I don't want to play at all."

Knowing Fujiwara Chika well, she was well aware of her personality. Games with her involvement were definitely not good; there would be countless pitfalls waiting for others to fall into.

"No problem! This game is the culmination of the collective wisdom and effort of all our club members! Kaguya, you'll definitely love it!"

Fujiwara Chika looked anxious, then adopted a posture that threatened to cry if she didn't get her way.

At this moment, Yu Ishigami surprisingly spoke up for Chika Fujiwara, saying, "It's not easy to make a game, and it's quite sad when no one wants to play it after you've made it."

"Is...is that so..."

Kaguya Shinomiya also felt that she might have gone a bit too far, and seeing Fujiwara Chika's tearful expression, she felt a little sorry for her.

'Why don't we try trusting Fujiwara just this once?'

Wiping away her tears, Fujiwara Chika said to Ishigami Yu, "Ishigami-kun, I never thought you were such a good person. I'm sorry, I always thought you were a violent guy who liked to use moral principles to beat people up."

"..."

Yu Ishigami was sunk.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once. What are the rules of the game?"

Kaguya Shinomiya finally relented. Since the student council president would be playing along anyway, she figured it would be a little game to strengthen her bond with him.

Thinking about it this way, she suddenly felt some anticipation for the game.

Next, Shangguan Yun, Shinomiya Kaguya, Ishigami Yu, Fujiwara Chika, and the somewhat reserved Yukino Yukinoshita sat around the sofa.

Listening to Fujiwara Chika explain the rules of the game.

The game uses six-sided dice, with cards representing squares. There are a total of ninety-nine squares, which are divided into three main areas: a children's area, an adult area, and a senior citizens' area, each with thirty-three squares.

You move as many steps as you throw in, earning money as you walk towards the finish line. Whoever has the most wealth at the end wins.

"It's similar to the orthodox Sugoroku games of modern times." As the son of a toy company owner, Yu Ishigami is very knowledgeable and enjoys games.

“Let’s start with me then,” said Yu Ishigami, throwing the dice.

"3?" Ishigami Yu picked up the third card. "Unlucky one?"

"Ah! It's a 'traffic' accident! Let's roll the dice again. If we roll a 1..."

"I rolled a 1." Yu Ishigami looked at the die on the table that he had just rolled a 1 on.

"Okay, Ishigami-kun is dead."

"???"

"What would happen if I died?" Ishigami Yu had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Fujiwara Chika continued, "If you die, it's all over. You'll be last and eliminated."

Yu Ishigami's expression instantly turned blank as he said, "I see. Everyone be careful, this is a really bad, trashy game."

Shangguan Yun's lips twitched slightly; it was the first time he had ever seen a Sugoroku game where the player was eliminated in the first round.

"It's just that Ishigami-kun was unlucky! There should only be a tiny fraction of the squares that would kill instantly!" Fujiwara Chika argued loudly.

"Could you please let me see the game rulebook?" Ishigami asked for the rulebook and began to read it.

"Is it my turn...?"

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for two seconds before rolling her dice.

'I just hope Fujiwara-senpai isn't as unreliable as I think.'

"After-school event card?"

Yukino Yukinoshita cast a questioning look at Chika Fujiwara.

"That was about choosing whether to go out and play or go home and study after school!"

"Can I choose for myself? I'll choose to go home and study."

"As expected of Yukino, who ranks second in the grade. Here, take this nerd card."

"..."

When Fujiwara Chika handed her the "nerd card," Yukino Yukinoshita's expression stiffened; she was now beginning to believe what Shinomiya-senpai had said earlier.

Is it too late to quit now?

Clearly, Fujiwara Chika would not let the group off the hook.

"I stopped on the lucky square."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the card representing her own grid and breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was called the Lucky Grid, nothing strange should happen, right?

"Ah! Things will happen if you land on a lucky square!"

Fujiwara Chika exclaimed excitedly, "Although Kaguya was deceived by her boyfriend, she managed to get 100 million yen in compensation for emotional distress! How lucky she is!"

"This is unlucky! Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about luck?!" Kaguya Shinomiya exclaimed in disbelief.

"Here's a 'Don't Trust Men' card."

"I do not need……"

Given the current situation, everyone felt that this game was definitely a huge trap.

Only Fujiwara Chika seemed to be enjoying herself, completely oblivious to the expressions of the others.

"By the way, the flipped-over cards should be discarded so that the players behind can catch up more easily."

"Finally, we have some decent rules." Ishigami Yu remained expressionless as he flipped through the manual. His early demise had left him with no expectations for the game.

"By the way, Fujiwara-senpai, which part of this game were you in charge of?"

"I'm in charge of designing the event content!"

Fujiwara Chika looked proud.

"As expected, you should feel guilty towards everyone." Ishigami Yu had an expression that said he had already guessed it.

The game is still ongoing.
