Wicked game.

As you can tell from the name, the game was about finding out who the criminal was.

Of course, it didn’t mean that any of them were actually bad people, and it was just a game similar to a mafia game that followed temporarily created rules to find a hypothetical designated villain.

However, as it took place in a noble family’s social circle, there were also distinct differences from ordinary games.

Carla was suddenly handed a card with nothing written on it, and was staring at it while holding it in her hand.

“This… … How do you do it… … ?”

“Then let me tell you?”

As she blinked her eyes cutely and made a questioning expression, Lucas appeared to be approaching her and informing her.

“You can think of it as a game of tag.

But on that card, your role is written!!”

“But there’s nothing… … ?”

“Hehe… Is that true?”

This card had several functions.

Although it is a card that does not show anything on the outside, its first function is to create a magical imprint on it when a special wavelength of magic is injected into it.

“Ah, then, if you infuse magical power into the card…

Will I be able to see you from then on?”

“No? It’s not a card… That!!”

“That… ?”

Carla also turned her head in that direction as her friend pointed to the sight of the Froden family’s servants dropping a drop of liquid, like some kind of eye salve, into each eye.

“It is a magical water made by melting a small amount of magical energy.

It doesn’t affect your health, so you don’t have to worry.”

And soon, when it was his turn, he dropped some sparkling transparent liquid into his eyes, and the world seen through the eyes where the eye drops were dropped was colored in a strange light.

“Wow… … ”

Lucas’ kind explanation was being added to the ears of Carla, who was letting out a single word of surprise and admiration at the sight she had never seen before.

“This eye drop is only given this once, but instead, I hid the vials around the mansion.

So if you find the medicine bottle, you can see the contents of other people’s cards later, right?

Now that you can see the role in the card, you need to act while hiding that role as much as possible.

And ultimately, finding the ‘villain’.

And villains should never be caught!!”

“Don’t get caught… … ”

“If you get caught, you lose, right?”

Obviously, the rules are similar to mafia games.

But from now on, the Wicked game became interesting.

“Then… … now…

What should I do… … ?”

“Now you can enjoy social gatherings!!”

“Uh… ?”

“At the very end of the social gathering, the card will be collected at the moment the social gathering ends.

And then, you have one chance to guess who the villain is, right?

At that time, you point out the villain you think you are!!”

There is only one chance to give the correct answer.

When she heard that she could win the game if she got it right, Carla’s expression was filled with doubt.

“Then… The villain… …

If you just hide it… … ”

If the villain makes up his mind and maintains a poker face, isn’t this a lax rule in that it seems like he will never be discovered to be a villain?

In response to Carla’s muttering pointing out elements that could make the game uninteresting, Lucas smiled slyly and began to add explanations.

“It’s no fun if you just hide it, right?

So, I added a fun device.”

“Device… … ?”

In response to Carla’s question, Lucas, who came to the front of the podium, snapped his fingers.

And as his loud voice began to resonate throughout the venue, everyone’s eyes began to gather in that direction.

“This is the prize for this Wicked game!!

Tears of Dragon Letland!! Let me tell you this!!

A rare material for the Department of Alchemy!! A panacea for the medical department!!

For the swordsman club, this is a strengthening agent that improves the quality of your sword by refining it!!

It is also full of magical power, so it is no different from an elixir for the Department of Magic!!

Besides, if you just take it and sell it, wouldn’t it be an ordinary amount?”

I guess I could say that I suddenly understood the purpose of the Count Froden family.

Although dragon tears were an element used in advanced alchemy experiments, even Karla, who was still a freshman, was amazed when she learned of its reputation.

Of course, there were some exaggerations.

Letland’s Tears were certainly a very expensive item, but it was only an expensive item that the count could afford to provide at a reasonable cost.

A dragon that is a national disaster-level monster that has been captured several times in the past and is a product of magical power.

Several hundred liters of tears extracted from the lacrimal glands of the dragon Letland.

It is a highly volatile liquid made of pure magic power, and it had to be sealed in a special way to maintain its magic power.

If it is stored incorrectly, all the magic power will leak into the air, turning this large mansion and its surroundings into a complete magic power point.

Among them, if it’s a small amount that can be used in a small bottle the size of your finger, then the duke would definitely have enough wealth to buy that much material.

But who are they?

No matter how much money a family has, it belongs to the family.

For poor students who always suffered from lack of pocket money or lump sum money, this opportunity was virtually like a lottery.

Due to family circumstances, they are often short of money, students of self-authored families, or students of wealthy or marquis authors who have some money but want to make some pretty attractive pocket money.

Just as their eyes lit up in many ways, the eyes of the students from Warmhausen and Chaoxing also began to wander at the name of the rare material called Dragon’s Tears.

It would be natural for the students who were listening intently to Lucas’ explanation to begin to become more serious about the game.

“The person who caught the villain!! Otherwise, an uncaught villain will take this prize!!

But it would be difficult to catch the villain, right? So there is an additional rule!!”

Behind Lucas, who had a mischievous smile on his face, some pictures began to glow, and eventually the surroundings began to quiet down.

“The villain must work hard to find the palm-sized medallion with these three marks engraved in this mansion.

First of all, since the signs look like this, we should use them as a reference, and at the same time, we should never be suspicious of others, right?

At the end of the day, if you have all three medals with the symbol on them, you will win.”

Find three marks.

That was the biggest penalty given to the villain.

‘Looking for that without other people knowing… … It won’t be easy… … ‘

Since looking for a medal with an overt sign on it was nothing more than showing off that he was a villain, no matter what he did, he had to act secretly and suspiciously, which was probably a rule that narrowed down the scope of villains.

It would be difficult for the villain to be very effective unless he had a decent poker face or was able to use other people who could help him find the medal on his behalf.

“Then… … !! This starts now!!

And separately, let’s enjoy social gatherings properly from now on!!”

“Yoohoo!!”

“Wheeik!! Swish!!”

With the shout announcing the start of a full-fledged social gathering, cheering students began to gather here and there.

And, just in case, Carla looked down at her card carefully, and in her eyes, the sign that was brightly illuminated by the magical water was appearing subtly.

“Umm… … ?”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A party with a new feeling that you have never experienced before.

In addition, with the addition of mini-games, the students seemed to be enjoying their own enjoyable social gatherings.

The biggest purpose of social gatherings is to make connections and strengthen social relationships with each other.

Students who were covetous of expensive prizes seemed to have not forgotten their fundamental purpose, and were approaching students from other faculties whom they had not even been aware of until now, or people with whom they had never been friendly.

It was a fun time for both men and women to get to know each other by escaping from the existing, frustrating academy life.

Sometimes, I was interested in the passionate sight of a man and woman who seemed to have feelings for each other meeting each other, and my eyes, which were quietly watching while hanging on the soft thighs hidden under the skirt of Carla’s dress, were also interested.

‘This is youth.’

A piece of the past that probably could have existed for me too, but is now gone.

Now that I am just an old man, I wonder if the feeling of the corners of my mouth turning up for no reason at the sweet experience I have never experienced is just a matter of my own feelings.

As I quietly watched the surroundings, I could see male and female students giving off an atmosphere of wondering what the heck was going on, or people sitting at comfortable tables chatting and laughing happily, as if it were a 3 to 3 or 4 to 4 blind date. So.

It seemed inevitable that I would feel a little bitter when I saw that, but compared to before, I am now one of the winners, or even a monster, so I guess I felt a little less jealous.

Even though he has become a monster, he has tasted a female body that he could not even imagine before, and now he enjoys the pleasure as if it were his daily life.

So, looking at the students who are just taking their first steps toward becoming adults, I felt somewhat flattered.

‘I’ve done everything… !! Babies!!’

Now, who is really bragging about something like this? … ?

I was flattered for a moment, but then I caught the feeling of sighing at the sudden hit and began to focus on looking around again.

‘It’s a Wicked game… … Here’s something interesting… … ‘

A strange feeling of anticipation began to bloom in my head as I looked through the blurry fabric of the dress at the small glass bottle containing the prize, Letland’s Tears.
