Chapter 136: Hachiman Subjected to Taunts and Ridicule by the Girls
Erina responded to Hachiman's reluctant complaint with her usual sharp wit, remarking, "Hmph, you brought this upon yourself. You rolled the dice yourself, so you can't blame others." A hint of amusement played at the corner of her lips, evidently deriving some entertainment from his predicament.
"Alright, alright, I'll accept my fate. Let's continue," Hachiman acquiesced, realizing the futility of arguing under the established rules.
In the third round, Hachiman took a break while the girls took their turns rolling the dice.
Yui was the first to roll and drew a five, resulting in a special event.
"Let me see... 'Created a disastrous dish during an elementary school cooking class, leading to the teacher falling seriously ill and being hospitalized. The school imposed a one-week suspension of classes. Unable to take action in the next round.'"
Yui, irked by the card, pouted in annoyance. "I mean, my cooking skills aren't that bad. Hospitalizing someone seems a bit extreme."
Hachiman, however, found the card fitting, given Yui's culinary abilities as portrayed in the original story. It was entirely plausible that she might have accidentally prepared a meal disastrous enough to warrant a hospital stay during her elementary school days.
"Well, let's move past that. Yui, let's see my roll next," Yumiko intervened, swiftly rolling the dice.
She landed on a three, which triggered another unique event.
"After completing elementary school, you chose to join a delinquent gang and became a delinquent girl."
"Seriously? Who aspires to be a delinquent girl?" Yumiko grumbled, feeling oddly disconcerted by the card, even though she understood it was all part of the game.
Following this, the other girls took their turns rolling the dice, and there were no more special events as they smoothly progressed to junior high school.
In the new round, Hachiman, who had skipped a turn, rolled the dice. He scored a six, bypassing the elementary school phase and advancing to junior high school.
Yukino rolled a two, triggering yet another special event.
"Because of your exceptional beauty, you were ostracized by your classmates, leaving you with no choice but to go abroad to escape. Skip one round."
Yukino's expression darkened as she read the card, clearly disturbed by the memories that this game had unearthed.
The contents of the cards were a painful reminder of past experiences, stirring up uncomfortable memories for each of them.
Hina rolled a four and triggered an event as well. Her card read, "Encountered strict father's education, confined, skip one round." The girls' expressions darkened upon reading their cards, clearly touching on sensitive issues.
"This game... it's oddly accurate," Hachiman couldn't help but murmur as he observed the cards for Yukino and Hina, realizing that the content closely mirrored their childhood experiences.
Komachi was up next, rolling a six, and she too triggered an event. Her card read, "Spotted by a talent scout on the way to school, debuted as a child star, rewarded with 100,000 yen."
"Yay, I've become a star!" Komachi exclaimed with joy upon reading the card's contents.
As the remaining girls rolled the dice, some progressed smoothly, while others encountered various peculiar events.
"Fourth round, let's carry on!"
"Alright!"
It was evident that everyone's interest had been piqued by this unique game.
This time, when Hachiman rolled the dice, he landed on a four.
"After entering junior high, your personality became more withdrawn, without friends, and you went through junior high without any incidents, smoothly advancing to high school."
Hachiman couldn't help but thought, "Isn't this just how I used to be before I crossed over into this world?" as he read the card.
The following turns for all the girls were uneventful, as they navigated through junior high without any significant incidents.
Yumiko's turn came, and she rolled a six.
"Through her intellect, she seamlessly rose to leadership in a delinquent group, earning herself the moniker 'Brahman Princess' and becoming the fifth division captain of the Chiba Majin Gang. Growing bored, she eventually returned to school."
Hachiman raised an eyebrow as he read Yumiko's card, sensing a peculiar familiarity with the nickname and the gang mentioned.
Shizuka rolled a five.
"After entering high school, she found herself entangled with a series of unsavory characters."
Reading the card's contents, Shizuka nearly welled up in grievance. Coping with the absence of a boyfriend in real life was challenging enough, but now, in the game, she had to contend with a succession of scumbag guys. It was truly a miserable twist of fate.
Haruno rolled a four.
"Because she was apprehended by the police for stalking her sister while trying to take pictures, she had to take a one-round break."
A subtle twitch played at the corner of Haruno's lips, and her companions looked at her with odd expressions.
Hachiman was no exception, fully aware of Haruno's strong sister complex and her potential for such behavior.
"What's the matter, Yukino-chan? You're so adorable; what's wrong with taking a few pictures?" Haruno said, feeling the collective gaze of the others on her, and she looked lovingly at her little sister.
However, Yukino was not amused and displayed a hint of disdain on her face. "Please refrain from saying it like that, Onee-san. While I may indeed be very cute, hearing it from my own sister is rather unsettling."
Next up was Komachi, who rolled a five.
"Her journey to becoming a child star went surprisingly smoothly, and her fame soared, earning her a reward of 200,000 yen."
"Yay!" Komachi cheered, making a triumphant scissor hand gesture.
Kotonoha also rolled a five.
"Because of her gentle nature, she endured bullying in middle school silently, unable to fight back."
Upon reading the card's content, she bit her lip, as it mirrored an experience she had indeed faced. However, her circumstances were different now because she had Hachiman, who treated her with kindness.
With this in mind, her gaze toward Hachiman softened.
The rest of the girls moved forward without any notable incidents.
On to the next round!
Hachiman rolled a five.
"While in high school, he got expelled for an inappropriate incident with a female classmate and was confined to home."
"Huh..."
"Hachiman-kun, you're quite the pervert."
"Hikki, how could you do that?"
"Onii-chan, you're truly disappointing me."
"'..."'
As they read the contents of the card, the girls cast disgusted looks at Hachiman one after another.
Komachi rolled a four.
"Because of my newfound fame, I was chosen by an agency and embarked on a journey as an idol."
Yukino rolled a two.
"Returning from abroad, I enrolled in high school."
Hina rolled a one.
"Entered high school and was infected with rotten culture, becoming a severe rotten girl."
Alice rolled a five.
"While swimming at the beach, I found myself in a drowning situation, but a young man came to my rescue, and as a result, a spark of romance ignited through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."
Upon seeing the card's contents, Alice's face turned slightly red as she glanced at Hachiman.
The remaining girls then rolled their dice and advanced without any remarkable events.
On to the next round!
Hachiman rolled a five.
"Always confined to my home, engrossed in galgames, I found myself unable to resist inner urges and engaged in inappropriate behavior with my sleeping little sister. The family eventually discovered my actions, resulting in a broken leg."
"Hey, Onii-chan, it appears you did something to me."
Komachi subconsciously distanced herself from Hachiman after reading the card's content. In fact, the other girls started verbally attacking him.
"Despicable!"
"Loser!"
"How could you do such a thing to your little sister? You don't deserve a place in this world!"
"Hikki, how could you do that."
"'..."'
