We unbuckled our seatbelts when the plane took off safely and reached cruising altitude.

　At the same time.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to need some sleep. ......

I'm sorry, I'm going to ...... have to say good night.

　Rose and Ferris, who had been overcome by sleepiness, said this and headed for the nap room at the far end of the plane.

　After that, the remaining four of us had a bit of a chat, and when it was all over.

"Hey, guys. Would you like to play with this?

　The chairman brought out a rectangular box and placed it on the large desk in the center of the room.

What's that, ......?

　I inquired casually.

"It's the 'Game of Life'!

　She opened up the box with a lovely drum roll in her voice.

　And the next thing you know.

"Oh, this!　I've played this game when I was little!　Wow, I miss .......

　Leah's eyes sparkled like a small child's as she gobbled up the board game stored inside the box.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　It's been a long time since we all played together when we were in the middle school!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I found it by accident yesterday when I was making various preparations. I thought it would be fun to play with everyone, so I brought it in just in case.

That's good judgment, She!

You're right!

　And so the air in this place warmed up at once.

"Hey, hey, Allen. Let's play together!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Yes, of course you can.

　She looked so happy.
　Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

　When everyone was in agreement, the chairman clapped his hands together.

"Okay, that's it!　The rest is about the rules: ....... I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, since Lilim and I did it in middle school and Leah seems to know it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to do it.

I'm not sure about you, Allen.

I think so. ....... I've played the Game of Life in Gosa Village before, but this one seems to be quite different from what I know. ......

　The one I played with old man Take and his friends was more black and brown ...... and had a 'dark' look to it anyway.
　It's never this bright and fun.

Oh, really?　When it comes to the Game of Life, this series is a classic. ...... Well, okay. Let me explain the rules to you, just in case.

"Yes, please.

　Then the chairman explained the rules in simple terms.

　Each player spins a roulette wheel with numbers from one to ten in order.
　Each player then moves through the squares according to the number of the number that comes up, aiming at the "goal" in the center of the board.
　The player who has the highest cash value of assets at the time of reaching the goal wins the game.

　There was nothing unusual in the rules themselves, and it was exactly the same as the life game we played in Gosa Village.

By the way, I would like to warn you about one thing: ....... Unfortunately, you don't stand a chance against Allen and Leah, do you?　After all, me and Lilim are the masters of this game!

"Hmmmmmm!　We pick up winners from all over the place and destroy all losers. ......!　The game is already decided before it even begins!

You can't let them take advantage of you.　I've fought hundreds of battles against my dad and Claude, and I still memorize the events of every square!

　The three of them said, and sparks flew wildly.

　Apparently, the girls are extremely confident in this game of life, and I feel like I'm being left behind.

Ah, ha ha ....... I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　And so it was that we played the game of life until we arrived in the cherry blossom country of Cherin.

　About three hours later.

"Oh, no. ....... That's impossible. ......

Oh, my God, ......?

"No, no, no, no. ......

　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find it on the web.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. It looks like I've won again this time, doesn't it?

　Second place went to the chairman with about 110 million gilds.
　The third place goes to Leah with 70 million gilds.
　The last place went to Lirim, minus 60 million golds.

　It was a complete victory, with the second place chairman winning by more than five times.

　What's more - three wins in three battles so far.
　He has never once conceded the first place position.

　And then.

"No, it's cheating, it's cheating ......!　This is absolutely ridiculous!



"Allen, be honest with me. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong ......?

"Allen, ....... You're a little too strong for your first time playing this game of life. ......?　Maybe you're doing something wrong again ......?

　As expected, or perhaps not, .......
　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.
