After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"I thought this would allow me to live with peace of mind, but it didn't work that way. Instead, I became more anxious."

"Panic, anxiety...all kinds of negative emotions overwhelmed me, so I changed my mind and wanted to come back, return to the student union, and work with everyone again..."

"I know that I am not a qualified student council president, and it is natural for everyone to be resentful of me, but despite this... I still hope that this student council can continue as before! Please!"

Choosing to escape is not a responsible attitude. Being honest is the real relief. Abandoning someone's selfish desires and wanting to stay together with everyone in the student union is his true desire now.

"..."

Uneasy, perturbed, relieved after speaking his mind, afraid of being ridiculed, all kinds of complicated emotions mixed in Xiachuan Zou's heart, brewing in the silent silence, and finally intensified, almost swallowing him up...

"President."

A respectful title suddenly brought Xiachuan Kanade back to reality. He raised his head abruptly and looked at everyone in the student union.

Ishigami Yu and Shirogane Miyuki were discussing the progress of their work, while Fujiwara Chika was pretending to organize her notes on the side, and it seemed that no one cared about what he had to say.

Only Kaguya Shinomiya stood beside him and extended a kind hand to him.

"Welcome back, President."

"...Yes, I'm back." His eyes were sore and he felt like venting.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the student union burst into cheers, followed by flying ribbons and buzzing balloons, and the silent student union room once again burst into amazing vitality.

"This is..." Xia Chuan Zou was a little surprised.

"Let me tell you something!" Fujiwara Chika raised her hand immediately. "This idea was mine! Ever since we received the message from the president, we've decided to give him a surprise!"

"I blew up the balloon." Baiyin Yuxing nodded.

"I was the one who arranged the ribbons." Ishigami Yu scratched his head.

"And I will be responsible for welcoming the president." Kaguya Shinomiya's cheeks flushed a little, as if she was infected by the atmosphere.

She looked at her right hand which was connected to Natsukawa Kanade, and thought that she might as well not wash her hands for the whole day.

"As I said, President, we are all looking forward to you regaining your strength and continuing to lead us."

No one hopes that Natsukawa Kanade can serve as the student council president again more than Shinomiya Kaguya.

No matter how embarrassed she was to express her thoughts in front of others, Shinomiya Kaguya had to admit that she wanted to get close to Natsukawa Kanade.

Due to her status as a child of the Shinomiya Group, she had no choice in who she wanted to associate with. Even her long-time friend Fujiwara Chika had to get her family's permission to date her.

Like, love? Such feelings are too luxurious for her. If it is for such a purpose, she will definitely part ways with the president. Only by defeating and absorbing him, and making the president hers, can the future of the two of them be extended...

For this reason, the student union must exist. Only here can she ignore the restrictions of class, have equal conversations and exchanges with the people she cares about, and even... look up to him.

Ah, President, it is so great to meet you... If possible, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life...

"To celebrate the return of the president, let's play games together! I just happened to bring a new board game today! President, come here quickly!"

The cheerful Fujiwara Chika trotted to Natsukawa Kanade's side, put her arm around his arm, and pulled him towards the sofa.

Ishigami and Shirogane looked at each other, then silently began to clean up the table.

Only Shinomiya Kaguya stood there blankly, feeling the warmth in her palms gradually dissipating, and watching Fujiwara Chika seducing the president with her obscene fat, with a calm expression...

Fujiwara Chika, it would be better to castrate her...

033. Don’t bring reality into the game!

Monopoly is a game of managing virtual wealth. The basic gameplay is to move the dice to specific grids, buy and sell land, make money or bankrupt the opponent. The person who gets the most money in the end wins.

The rules of the game are simple, but the randomness and openness of the gameplay have made it a popular entertainment project all over the world, and have gradually evolved into various forms of expansion types with diverse styles, such as board games and PC games.

For example, what Chika Fujiwara has just brought out - Monopoly and The Sims 3.21 Final Edition.

The basic rules are: the game ends when someone passes the finish line three times, and the person with the most money wins the game. Everyone starts with 1000000 yen. Actions are determined by dice, and the numbers on the dice represent the number of steps. Each grid on the map corresponds to a special event and opportunity, and the person who steps on it draws the corresponding card and obtains the described effect...

I heard that this is the latest work of our school's board game club, a masterpiece that they have exhausted all their efforts to complete. It has not yet been released to the public, so Fujiwara Chika brought it out for everyone in the student council to experience and test first.

Naturally, everyone chose to refuse, but they couldn't resist Fujiwara Chika's insistence, and Natsukawa Kanade was indeed somewhat interested, so the game finally went smoothly.

"Then let me go first." With the idea of ​​testing the performance of the game, Ishigami Yu was the first to try it.

"3... Let me see what it is, event grid?"

"Oh, the event is triggered right away. Then Ishigami-san, please draw an event card." Fujiwara Chika handed over a pile of cards.

Ishigami Yu picked one at random and opened it.

"The hero rescued the beauty but was misunderstood, and shut himself up for 3 rounds." Ishigami Yu was surprised, "Surprisingly still normal? It's this wording that makes people concerned."

"Is it supposed to mean stop the action?" Baiyin Yuxing nodded, "Next is my turn... event grid."

"It corresponds to... meeting your true love?"

"Wow, you're lucky, Senior Shirogane." Ishigami Yu applauded.

"Haha, it's okay."

"What are you so happy about! Take a close look at the effect of the following line!" Fujiwara Chika reminded.

"To support your partner, pay half of your funds each round."

"These are permanent effect cards! The effect can only be removed if you draw a 'breakup card' or the character dies."

Shirogane Miyuki & Ishigami Yuu: "..."

"It doesn't matter! If it's for your significant other, it's just half of your assets!"

"Wow, Senior Shirogane is so handsome!"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

It turns out that this game is addictive. The first round made two boys in the student union lose their minds.

Natsukawa Kanade glanced at the two boys who were cheering each other up, thinking, this is not something to be happy about, right? They had lost half of their assets.

"It's my turn now, 5... event grid, another event grid?" Xia Chuanzou raised his eyebrows.

Three people opened three event grids in succession, but the event grids and opportunity grids on the map should be half open.

Was it Fujiwara who did it? Natsukawa Kanade suspected that she had done something.

But after shaking each dice, I didn't find anything unusual. I guess it was just a coincidence...

"President, what's wrong?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked.

"Nothing, just want to change a dice."

"Let me see the effect of the card... After confessing to someone and being rejected, you will be heartbroken for a round..." Xiachuan Kanade's eyebrows twitched.

So I looked at Fujiwara Chika, but found that she looked like a curious baby.

"What's the matter, President?"

"…Nothing. It's your turn now." Natsukawa Zou handed over the dice.

"I'm not in a hurry. Let Kaguya go first." Fujiwara Chika shook her head and handed the dice to Shinomiya Kaguya.

The latter took it and threw it out.

"4...Opportunity grid, effect...Meet someone you like, decide to make money to support your family, and get 1000 million yen." Kaguya Shinomiya's cheeks flushed slightly.

She had never thought that she would take on such a role, but making money to support the president...is not bad either!

"This is unfair!" Baiyin Yuxing immediately couldn't sit still, "We both met a partner, why is she making money while I am spending money?"

"Opportunities and events are different, don't be anxious, Shirogane-san." Fujiwara Chika tried to calm the victim.

"I have a hunch... the person who wrote about these events wasn't Fujiwara-senpai?" Ishigami Yu raised his hand.

"Bingo! Correct answer! But no prize."

"Okay, I take it back. Everyone, be careful, because this game might be a piece of shit."

Xiachuan Zou nodded slightly, he had noticed this just now.

"Okay, it's my turn, it's my turn." Fujiwara Chika picked up the dice and threw a beautiful parabola.

"6! Event slot! The effect is... a flash marriage!" Fujiwara Chika looked very excited, "Ignoring all basic conditions and marrying the person closest to me... It's the president!"

"We're so lucky right off the bat! Married characters share assets and the effects of the grids they step on. This way our assets have doubled, President!"

"But it's only 200 million..." Xiachuan Kanade shrugged.

Compared to Kaguya Shinomiya who made 1000 million yen right from the start, this little money of theirs is nothing. But the good news is that the two of them will share assets and card effects in the future, so the probability of making money is higher, and Fujiwara has always been lucky... so it's not a big problem.

However, there is also a downside, that is, if the two of them form an alliance, they will easily be the first target to be expelled. Although Kaguya Shinomiya currently has more property, money comes quickly and is likely to go quickly, while they have a real advantage in numbers...

Natsukawa Kanade glanced at everyone inconspicuously and found that only Shinomiya Kaguya was staring at him and Fujiwara with a serious face, so he felt a little relieved.

He was certain that his opponent was only Shigong.

Ishigami's turn was skipped, so it was directly Shirogane Miyuki's turn.

"Event... After learning the truth about your female companion's family background, the pressure increases, and the count of assets gained or lost is doubled (fixed percentage effects are not affected by this)."

"Senior Baiyin, keep going! For the one you love!"

"Of course! I'll try my best!"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

Can you please stop showing affection in front of others? It's so annoying!

Xiachuan Kanade now really wants to give these two stupid boys a beating, especially Ishigami, what are you cheering for? Just play the game!

"Hiss... I always feel like someone is watching me..."

"It's my turn again." It was Kaguya Shinomiya's turn.

"Opportunities... my family will grow, and I will have to work harder to earn money - get 1000 million yen."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "..."

So the president is married to someone else! How else can she expand her family?! Rely on Xiao Ai? She doesn't want Xiao Ai to have a child and she will become the godmother but still be alone!

"It's my turn, it's my turn... It's an incident! Let me see... I gave birth to quintuplets, so I spent a lot of money on their nutrition - I lost half of my assets."

"Great! It's quintuplets!" Fujiwara Chika touched her belly, as if she was really pregnant.

"It's not a good thing at all. Our money has been reduced by half." Xiachuan Zou complained.

Fortunately, he thought Fujiwara Chika could bring good luck, but it turned out that she was just a drag. There was nothing he could do. If he wanted to win the game, he had to rely on himself.

Then came the third round, Baiyin Yuxing’s turn.

"Event... Elope with your partner, the cost is doubled again with each payment (fixed percentage effects are not affected by this)."

"Elopement... is indeed an option, but it will be quite hard."

"Senior Baiyin, don't give up! Eloping is a man's romance!"

"You're right Ishigami. The difficulties in life can't defeat me at all!"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

So I told you to play the game well! Isn't the debuff full? It's already the lowest reservation!

But it’s okay, after all, Shinomiya Kaguya’s assets have reached 2500 million... No, no, Shirogane and Shinomiya are not allied at all, really, how could he bring himself into reality...

Rubbing his temples, Xiachuan Zou felt a little headache. This game was really addictive. He almost got hooked while playing it.

"It's my turn... My love relationship failed again, and I'm in despair for 1 round..."

"Wow, the president is so philandering! He cheated on his wife. This is unforgivable!"

"That's why I said it's just a game..." Natsukawa Kanade sighed.

He understood that this board game was a complete piece of shit, and it was hopelessly rubbish! How could he have been so blind to find it interesting in the first place?!

But the game continued.

Among the five players, only Kaguya Shinomiya was making money continuously, so she naturally became the ultimate winner.

However, she looked very haggard and had no sense of joy of a winner at all.

Although Baiyin Yuxing's assets had been deducted, he remained highly motivated and fought until the last moment.
