smart-

A knocking sound rings from the eastern door.

I slowly got up from my seat and opened the door.

The sun is already setting.

I saw Inaba standing in front smiling.

“Sasaki! I’m here hehe”

“…Are you here?”

“? Why is your expression so deathly?”

“…there is something like that…come inside first”

When I came in with Inaba, Suzume, who had been sitting, stood up and banged on her desk.

“Eh!? Why on earth did you come here?”

There’s something about the reaction that’s so lively.

Do you hate it that much?

As if Kanna was thinking about going to Inaba again, he was hugging Kanna tightly in the seat next to him and not letting her go.

“Go away! You’re not even a club member!”

“Ehehe”

Inaba must have felt that too, as he smiled awkwardly and then his face brightened when he saw Kanna.

“Kanna..? oh! It’s Kanna! I’m here hehe”

Inaba waved his hand wildly at Kanna.

Kanna’s head, which had been concentrating on the game board, finally turned as if recognizing someone’s visit.

“…I-Inaba…?”

“Halonghalong”

The corners of his mouth slowly turned upward as if he was happy to see him after such a long time.

On the contrary, Suzume’s face darkens as she watches this.

“I didn’t have strength because I couldn’t see Kanna’s face for a while”

“..Inaba..heehi…pat pat..”

Kanna comforts herself by using onomatopoeia with her mouth.

A friendly atmosphere.

Suzume, who had been keeping her head down for a while, suddenly raised her head.

My complexion suddenly improved.

A brightened face.

“Kuhuhuhu.”

It’s a voice that reminds me of some evil plot.

“.. Come in, come in! Inaba”

“…Yes…?”

“Still, you wouldn’t be rude to me like this even though I’m a guest. First come in and sit here”

Inaba, who had a puzzled expression on his face, did as she said and sat down at the table.

If the person who showed hostility just a moment ago acts like that, you can see it.

It feels like Inaba is also being skipped over.

You don’t really want to go out just because you can see what’s inside.

“Now…hehe…you’re sitting down?”

“Yes..I sat down..?”

“Then you should participate in the game”

“A game?”

“Yes, yes. Teacher Sasaki brought ‘Bloom Marble’.”

I nodded at Inaba’s gaze.

There is nothing wrong with it

“But…if you just do it, it’s boring, uninteresting, and unnerving, right?”

Suzume licked her lips slightly from left to right with her tongue and smiled.

“So, there was a bet that the winner would grant the loser’s wish if he or she made a wish? By any chance..Inaba are you interested too?”

“…Well…no. I don’t like that kind of thing”

“So..? It’s a pity..”

Suzume turned her head towards me with an expression that didn’t seem to be regrettable at all.

It seems like Suzume is aiming for something…

I’m not good at studying, but I’m pretty good at it.

“Teacher!”

“?”

“It’s a wish. Let’s talk for today”

“…Okay”

Suzume’s smile deepens.

Fortunately, I’m glad they didn’t force me to do anything unreasonable.

“Sasaki”

“Yes”

“Sasaki”

“…Ugh…did you call me…?”

“Sasaki hihi”

Continuous calling.

Gradually the outline is drawn.

What was Suzume’s intention in doing this?

It seems to roughly capture the subtle atmosphere that flows between Inaba and me.

The basic knowledge of social life has already reached its peak.

How did you know…?

After Suzume finished calling my name several times, Inaba’s face hardened.

Still, Inaba remains motionless.

Suzume recited in a passing tone.

Ultimatum.

“Let’s play one more round. Teacher.”

“…”

“Next time…what should I wish for…just the two of us…hehe”

As soon as I finish speaking.

Squeak-

The chair is pulled out and the sound of it being dragged on the floor is heard.

Inaba’s upper body was pulled towards the table.

“…I do”

“Huh? Inaba what? Didn’t you say you don’t play games?”

“What are you doing…senior?”

“Huh?”

“The game is played with your hands, not with your mouth”

At Inaba’s words, small blood vessels appeared on Suzume’s forehead.

Suzume’s intentions went as planned, but she doesn’t look very happy.

Well…what Inaba said.

Since it went in quite appropriately… the scratching skills are no joke.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Yes”

“But…there’s no use crying after losing. Heungheung Inaba?”

“Oh, I guess so”

“Right?”

“Yes. What should I do if my senior cries after losing?”

“..Ahaha”

“Hehe”

The prelude to ‘Wish’ Blue Marble, which will bring a storm, has begun.

＊＊＊

The game has begun.

The rules are the same.

Real estate game.

Who gets more land and collects toll taxes?

‘Luck’ and ‘Skill’

A game that competes between these two.

clockwise

The order was decided as Inaba Na Kanna Suzume.

One passive card and a bill worth 2 million were given in front of each person.

When I sit down, Inaba’s spirit is no joke.

Determined will? The same thing emanates outward like an aura.

Suzume, who was sitting opposite to him, was also radiating some kind of cloudy energy.

If Inaba is blue, is Suzume black?

A feeling of something sinister and dangerous.

“Then shall we begin? Iniba..kufuhu throw”

That looks so dark…?

You know that what we’re doing right now is Blue Marble, right?

It feels like even a broken branch will fly away if it loses.

“Yes. I’ll throw it”

The dice floated and fell to the floor.

[6] [6]

double.

The location is a golden card.

Suzume’s eyes, which had been full of courage, wavered.

“…Well, you still don’t know! The game is now on!”

“World travel..? Is this good?”

“…No way…I-I only have one copy of that…”

Inaba smiled while looking at Suzume’s face and immediately opened his mouth.

“It’s just a joke. I also know how to play Blue Marble. I’m going to Tokyo”

“…3 turn limit! Inaba. I can’t live in Tokyo!”

It’s a dirty play.

Suddenly, rules were created in real time.

“Suzume..? You didn’t say that when you were with me”

“! Sasaki! What should I do if I say that- Sup”

“Hihi. Then Tokyo… there’s no problem at all if I buy it, right? Ah… are you doing it because you’re scared or scared? Well then, can I especially give it to Suzume-senpai at least once? Would you like me to do that?”

“No!…Do it..Just do it. It’s probably beginner’s luck anyway”

“Then I will enjoy it”

It starts with eating Tokyo from the beginning.

“Then I’ll throw it again! Heehee”

[6] [6]

double

“…”

“…”

“…Ah..”

Inaba sealed Suzume’s mouth.

completely closed.

…

From then on, the game continued.

The atmosphere of the game becomes increasingly heated.

Tazza Suzume covers with skill

Inaba is lucky enough to overcome everything with a quick roll of the dice.

If you throw it, it becomes a black hole, Kanna is an uninhabited island.

And lastly… the weakest idiot, Sasaki, is me.

Everywhere I go, I step on someone else’s land and eventually end up in Tokyo, which is fully equipped with hotels and resorts.

I enjoyed my vacation and perished like a dog.

10 minutes ago.

He sold everything to Inaba and went bankrupt.

…My Sillim-dong Duelist honor fell to the ground.

Now it’s the battle of the century between three people.

The corners of Suzume’s mouth rise.

The place Inaba just stepped on.

It was a place that Suzume put a lot of effort into.

Immediately paying the toll tax, Inaba made a bold purchase.

And because of the double he threw before, he throws it one more time.

Land arrived.

[Lucky Dice]

“It’s a lucky coin…mmmm. What is this, Sasaki?”

“That..um..is probably a system where the bank continues to give you money up to 5 times if you get a double. More and more”

“…heehee. Really?”

[4][4]

[3][3]

[5][5]

[5][5]

[6][6]

All of Suzume’s money and purchase costs were recovered in an instant, equal to what Inaba had lost.

Maybe more than that.

Isn’t that a scam?

If this wasn’t the Blue Marble version, I would have tipped over the table a long time ago.

If you do this in duels, you’ll get criticized!

Suzume’s jaw looks like it’s about to fall off.

Away from that overheated game board.

Kanna played like Kanna.

“Yip!”

Toorururu-

Tuk!

The dice escaped her hand.

The number that came out.

[3][4]

This time, Kanna couldn’t get out of the desert island.

If you don’t have 200,000 escape funds, you have no choice but to come out double or after a forced 3-turn break.

Since before, the dice have never come out before the third turn.

They all came out fully filled to maturity.

And even if it comes out like that, if you turn around immediately, it crawls back in again.

If you want to survive that battle, it seems like a deserted island would be the safest place.

Is it lucky or bad?

Suzume and Inaba have already purchased all of Kanna’s land.

To the point where there is no empty land in sight.

Suzume gradually loses her initial momentum in the fight with Inaba and is being suppressed.

Inaba smiled at Suzume.

“Senior…don’t feel too bad. You might lose. This is just a game.”

“..I-Inaba!”

Suzume looked touched by Inaba’s words.

It suddenly felt warm.

An atmosphere of reconciliation is suddenly created.

I’m glad.

There is a saying that the ground becomes stronger after it rains.

While rubbing the bridge of his nose with his finger, Inaba opened his mouth.

“Hehe. My mom said that! Losing to a strong enemy is not something to be ashamed of.”

A word from Inaba.

The relaxed atmosphere becomes even tighter than before.

A hot spark flashed in Suzume’s eyes as soon as Inaba finished speaking.

I pressed the ignition switch.

Suzume took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

He placed his hand on the table and activated the active card initially placed in front of him.

“Active I’ll write it now. [Auction]”

“? Senior…the game is over anyway-”

“Inaba, I will change your Tokyo into mine from now on”

The tide is changing.

It looks like Suzume is trying to turn things around.

“A golden card is activated there. Double the toll.”

[3][3]

double

“The number from the dice. Double”

Another location. Golden card place.

“Card turn!”

Suzume turns over the golden card.

What emerged from there was the golden age.

“Golden card effect. For the next 5 turns, the amount your opponent pays increases to 150%. Inaba?”

“…”

“There’s no shame in losing to a strong enemy, right?”

“…Yes…senior…that’s right.Hehe, try it until the end! Never lose to a strong enemy! It’s not something to be ashamed of, right?”

“That’s right, kuhuhu”

“Hehe”

Why does it seem like the initial goal has disappeared and the only thought is to desperately destroy the opponent somehow?

Am I mistaken?

I moved next to Kanna, who was shivering next to me.

I lost the game anyway.

Kanna… seems to be out of the question in the game.

In both cases, no one really cares about Kanna.

Feels like a scarecrow.

I don’t think they see him as an enemy or as a fellow player.

It’s too much.

I need to comfort you too.

I also feel confident that I can win at any time.

Then you can’t use it.

Kanna gets hurt. Tsutsu

He sat down next to me and stroked my head.

“It’s okay, Kanna. A game is a game”

“…?”

He sat down next to me and stroked my head.

Kanna, who hesitated as if encouraged by my words, put her small mouth to my ear and spoke.

“…Seo, teacher…”

“Huh?”

“..You’re worse at games than me..”

“…”

I feel like a fire just popped into my eyes.
