I’m Being Paid ¥ 300,000 a Month to Say ‘Okaeri, Kyo MO Ganbatta NE’ to a Hardworking Neighbor Oneesan Who Earns ¥500,000 a Month but Doesn’t Have a Use for the Money, Which Is Really Fun

"Hang out with me, Tsuchiya Senior"

"What, Murasaki, shopping? Rice?"

"It's a board game"

Lunch break office.

To a senior who is bunking up a convenience store lunch next door, I was asking about my plans for tomorrow Sunday.

Oyama at the desk is looking at this one with an amazing face for some reason. Do you like board games?

"What a sudden. Board games?"

"You played the Uno Games with Mio and the others the other day."

"... oh, there you are"

Senior Tsuchiya looks like she chewed up a bitter bug.

Bite and crush bitter bugs. This may be the first time I have come across the use of this idiom.

"I won, too, but with the odds of winning, it wasn't very good."

"Know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know. Do it for seventeen hours and don't win. It's less likely that SSR will pull it off with this sochage."

Looks like he was playing social games when he thought he was eager to stare at his smartphone while eating lunch.

The screen shows a chat section typed "Don't Run". I don't see what you're running from, but I think I'm busy.

I'm sorry to disturb you, too, so let's keep it brief.

"I don't think I was shown growth when I went to the ocean before this, but I still can't say I'm winning"

"Don't win all night long."

"I thought I should find a way to live this in a game other than Uno. I bought a few things that I would be good at if I tried a lot."

"Ho."

"Why don't you come to our house tomorrow Sunday, if you like"

That's fine, but Mr. Tsuchiya is thinking of something.

"I feel like I can go home before the Sunday start or the date changes. Muddy."

"That's not true."

There may be.

"Do you want to start tonight?

"Excuse me, I was just about to have my parents over tonight."

"Oh, dear, why don't you do it? Don't interrupt."

"Excuse me."

"Let's put a timer on him"

Do you want to join me? I'm looking at this one with a face like a fox.

It's like being bored by a fox. This may also be the first time I have come across the use of this idiom.

I asked her out once, but she refused. I wonder what it was.

"Good morning, seniors"

"Oops. This is a souvenir."

"Oh, thank you for taking the time...... Fukugami pickled?

"Something's new in the neighborhood. If I go to the curry shop, I'll get it."

"Chikappa?

"It means awesome, or full. Pick it up because I can't eat it because it's about twice as good in the house."

Handing out Fukujin pickles at curry shops is quite a mystery. If they curry at home, the store will crumble.

In the meantime, twenty times I fridge a quantity of Fukujin pickles that I think I can curry, and pass the seniors to the room where I prepared the game.

"Thank you for coming together today. Not in the spirit of today."

"Cut"

"... this is today's game"

I have bought three kinds, but I will take one out first.

This is a laptop-sized box that holds maps, cards, and commas.

"Shinjuku Evil Spirit Incident"?

"Did you know?

"No, first sight"

"This is a so-called battle of formation. We'll split into a Necromancer team and a Yakuza team to compete for Shinjuku's hegemony."

It's a game inspired by the resistance of the Necromancers who want to turn Shinjuku's people into undead and rule, and the Yakuzas who won't allow the territory (Shima) to be vandalized.

"... I don't know how to explain it. A world view."

"This kind of thing only happens at first sight."

Hundreds of hearings are only at first sight. This idiom may be the first time I've actually used it.

"Why don't you give it a try? Murasaki, why don't you pick first?"

"Well, I'm Lucy the Necromancer"

"Then I'm Yakuza's Inari... no, in the Usada group"

Once you've arranged the commas according to the instructions on the map, they're ready.

"Come on, let's start the game"

Thus began my attempt to find a game that I was good at.

Thirty minutes later.

"Use the 'Bullet Removal Protection' card to invade the Kabukicho area. This won't let the Yakuza lead balls through."

"Hmm. Then I'll use the 'convenience store' card to intercept you"

"Heh heh, the store-based cards can only be used by 'what you put there for granted', seniors.

You think you can take down a zombie by fixing it with a stick and beating it in a weekly magazine?

"Stick a zombie's head in the microwave"

"Huh?"

"Warm up, nice to meet you!

"Ku, claim! The microwave cannot be warmed without closing the door!

"It's up to you to bust through the door and stick your head in."

"Ugh."

"Ho, now the Undead are all gone."

Shinjuku, which should have been occupied in half at first, had now been filled with black commas showing the yakuza side.

Greens showing Necromancer territory are stacked unwrought beside the map.

"... Um, the game box says play time is an hour ~"

"Thirty minutes and you're in trouble."

"Is it a misrepresentation"

"Do it. How old are you?

"Since I was fifteen."

I guess it's because of the subject of yakuza on the undead. Slightly higher setting.

"Do it."

"Yes?"

"Primary school can't win."

…… In the meantime, another battle, please. "

Enough later, during the next game, I realized that I was said to be tall without elementary school.

In the meantime, I threw the cushion at you.

"Hey Murasaki."

"Yes."

"Are you having fun?

"Yes, it's quite deep and fun"

"Well, more than anything else."

Ten games have just been settled since the Game Games began.

It's all about Tsuchiya seniors winning. Well, that's what happens.

"But it's not going to be a game over an hour. Is it still a misnomer?

"... Murasaki, why don't you let it be another game? Huh?"

"Really?

Have seniors gotten tired of it or are they gazing at the game that is loaded on the side?

It is also true, however, that time is limited. The next time you go, you'll fit in.

"There are two more things, from which do you want to do it?

"What kind of guy?

"The first is Operation Kawagoe Landing."

Necromancer Abigail and militia battle in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture.

"The second is Yin Yang Witch vs Iron Chunk."

It's a battle between a witch living in a strange place and a golden iron knight coming from another world and taking the land of the woods.

"Murasaki, do you like formation matches?

"For what?"

"Well - they all seem to have similar gameplay in formation. Bakatare."

Right now, I think they said stupid.

"There's plenty for you, too, you."

It's not my fault. I knew they'd say that.

"Hey, yes, there are some good and bad things to say to as many seniors as you want!?

"Let's get it all together without it! If one is weak, it's all weak. Like this!

"Ha."

I didn't have that idea.

"You know what I'm talking about, Murasaki?"

"I said it again... But look, it's called being honest for the third time."

"Sometimes twice, three times."

"That means you won't know unless you try. Let's stick it out and go, senior!

"You know the face of the Buddha up to three times?

The third time honestly, there are three times that there are twice, even the face of the Buddha up to three times.

It's a major but not much to ask in real life. This may be the first time I have come across a place to use it.

Let's just prove it, I even played until I had a timer at 10: 00 at night.

It was a pleasure to win just once.
