Board Game (2)
A ‘board game’ is, actually not a game of luck. ‘It’s a classy game that requires a high level of strategy and tactics’, is the opinion of Asch with a 175 years player history.
The Dark Magician, distributes the game’s currency to the three.
“Do you know the rules?”
“I don’t. But, it’s fine”
Lily says and spins the roulette. A beautiful young girl who doesn’t want to hear anything more about board games and wings it, she is.
Karararararah……
“……6. 6 huh. It’s quite a good number, isn’t it”
Happily, the Dark Magician moves the piece.
『Return to the start』
“……guguguh”
Frustrated. Lily is frustrated. The beautiful young girl, who’s one of the biggest sore losers on the continent, hits a sudden roadblock. Tears pool up in those emerald eyes of hers.
“It-, it only just started”
Unlike how he usually is, he showers her with gentle words. It’d be unbearable, if she threw in the towel at a place like this. A board game mania who wants her to continue no matter what.
“Then, I am goーing”
Jispa raises her hand and spins the roulette. The number is 8.
『You got married. Receive 2000 Gard from everybody as a congratulatory gift』
“Yayy. I got married, I got marriedー”
For the honour student young girl who has her eyes on her career, marriage is an unattainable dream. She’s happy that it gets fulfilled even if it’s on the board.
“I’m next, here I goー”
Cis spins the roulette and……5.
『You dropped your wallet. Pay 500 Gard』
“Ehー, how unluckyー”
As she says laughingly, she pays the money.
“Then, it’s me huh”
The all-ready Dark Magician spins the roulette……9.
“Picked up by a noble. Receive 1000 Gard”
“Ewww, sensei! How old are youu”
Jispa who gives a gentle retort, and the lonely Magician who’s happy beyond belief.
“Okay! Okay! It’s me this time huhh!”
Lily, interrupts and spins the roulette.
Karararararah……6.
『Return to the start』
・・・
Everybody falls silent. Lily stares at the roulette tremblingly.
“Che-, cheer up. It-, it’s still only just started, hasn’t it”
Cis pats and consoles the unlucky beautiful young girl.
After that, Jispa, Cis, and Asch spin the roulette and advance their respective pieces.
Boisterously.
Clamarously.
On the other hand, Lily.

“Why…..whyー! Asch-sensei, you’ve done something, haven’t you!?”
“Ho-, how rude!”
Because of what he usually does, the ill-natured Magician is made the scapegoat. In response to the beautiful young girl who complains while tearing up, he denies with all his strength. In actuality, he didn’t mess with anything. Instead, for the sake of this pitiful girl, he wants to get rid of the『6』side.
“Why does only 6 come out then!? Isn’t something like this strange”
‘That is, what I want to ask’, is the ill-natured Magician’s heartfelt thoughts.『6』4 times in a row. The numbers are 1~10. The probability is, 1 out of 10000. Lily, who is miraculously unlucky, she is.
“Next time! Next time for sure! It won’t be 6 for sure. As expected, 1 out of 100000 is impossible. Trust me”
He grabs her shoulders firmly and encourages her.

『Return to the start』
“Liar―! Liar liar liar―”
“……”
Speechless. The Dark Magician who can only imagine that this beautiful young girl, who whines while crying, is cursed.
“Li-……Lily. You can spin it again. Right, everybody”
The honour student young girl suggests, and everybody agrees without hesitation.
“……hikku……hikku……if I get 6 the next time, I will quit!”
She declares sobbingly.
“Al-, alright”
There’s no way. If this comes out as『6』, then she’s undoubtedly cursed. The three who start to seriously worry, thinking that it’s better to go straight to an exorcist right away.
“The-, then……here I go!”
Karararararah……

“Yay―――― Yay yay yay――――!”
Lily who jumps around frolickingly inside the carriage.
『You run with all your strength and advance 4 spaces』
『Return to the start』

Baki…………baki……gotoh…………
『Silvia’s Plans』, came to an end like this.
