"It feels a bit weird partnering with Nino."
While Nino was still contemplating, Yotsuba quietly complained.
"Yes, we are clearly sisters." Itsuki agreed.
"By the way, this table game feels very energetic, with so many functions and effects that are very clear." Fumino sighed.
Judging from the various effects triggered by the rounds they played earlier, this table game is quite powerful, and it lives up to the name Super Life table game.
"Great." Commented Rizu, "It's very interesting."
It seemed like she underestimated table game clubs in the past.
"I'll choose Itsuki."
After some consideration, Nino made her choice.
Itsuki's wealth card is very powerful; if partnered with her, the chances of winning can be said to be very high.
"Congratulations to both of you for becoming..."
Before Asumi could say anything, she was interrupted by Ichika.
"Wait a moment, Kamikawa-san has the peach blossom card, right?" Ichika clarified.
"Yes."
Regarding this card, Asumi remembered it very clearly.
"In that case, according to the peach blossom card [effect to increase peach blossom luck], Nino, you can only choose Kamikawa-san as your partner." Ichika said.
"Why? I don't want to partner with him." Nino said disgustedly.
"It's not possible; this is the effect of the card, just like how your choice cannot be rejected by others." Ichika said.
"Then I won't choose."
Nino chose to give up because she didn't want to be partners with Ren.
Ichika rejected, "No, the effect of your love card has already been triggered, so it cannot be changed. I warned you before."
"Because the peach blossom card has this effect, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"It can't be helped. You can't say something like peach blossom luck; so the instructions say you can't say it." Ichika explained the note on the peach blossom card.
"Fine."
After struggling for a while, Nino finally chose to accept this reality.
It's just a table game; it doesn't matter. She consoled herself in her heart.
"Congratulations to Nino-san and Kouhai-kun for becoming partners." Asumi congratulated.
"Weird development."
Miku raised her head and whispered.
"Indeed."
When they thought Ren's real identity was Kamikawa Naoki, but Nino became his partner without realizing it, and she still didn't like him, Yotsuba and Itsuki also found it strange.
"Um, according to the partner relationship setting, Kamikawa-san's chess piece also came to the matchmaking agency and, at the same time, triggered the effect of choosing another player to be a partner with them simultaneously."
Ichika said with a headache; she felt that something was wrong with this game.
"Can I still choose? Hasn't he already become my partner?" Nino frowned.
"Yes, moreover, he also came to the matchmaking agency, and according to the partner relationship setting, since Nino chose to be his partner, Kamikawa-san has to choose someone else." Ichika explained, "By the way, the instruction manual doesn't mention how many people can be chosen as partners."
"Can't you reject the same thing?" Nino frowned.
"No, he just has to choose one person. The others can be rejected."
Ichika explained in detail. Suddenly, she felt that explaining the rules was more tiring than participating in the game.
Nino reluctantly accepted this reality, then looked at Ren and urged, "Hurry up and choose."
"Am I going to choose one of them to be my partner?"
Ren finally realized and understood the current situation.
"Yes."
Asumi said with a smile but began to look forward to his choice.
"Oh."
After confirming this fact, Ren looked at them.
(Am I going to be a partner with Kamikawa-san...)
Realizing this possibility, Itsuki became nervous.
Although this was just a table game, Ren's choice was real.
If he chose her, did that mean there was a chance?
None of them spoke. They all realized the importance of his choice and were increasingly looking forward to it.
"Whom should I choose?"
Ren hesitated and couldn't make a decision, so he decided to ask Nino.
"Itsuki, the wealth card is very powerful."
After being partnered with him, Nino was in a very bad mood and immediately gave her opinion.
Usually, she would let him choose, just to satisfy their desire to see whom Ren would choose.
But now it's different; Nino feels uncomfortable. How could she make them feel better too?
It's fair if everyone suffers together.
"Then I choose Itsuki."
After hearing her opinion, Ren agreed.
When they learned that Ren didn't choose himself, they immediately lost interest, and at the same time, they felt a bit lucky in their hearts.
"So, are you willing to be partners with Kamikawa-san, Itsuki?" Ichika asked.
"...Yes." Itsuki answered in a low voice.
Actually, she wanted to refuse, and besides, Nino and Ren had already become partners, so it was a bit awkward if she agreed.
But when she heard Ichika's question, she felt her body uncontrollable and wanted to agree, and the thought of refusing completely disappeared.
Even though this was just a game, it was still fun to be partnered with Ren.
"Congratulations to Itsuki-san and Kouhai-kun for becoming partners." Asumi congratulated with a strange expression. She also felt that something was wrong.
"According to the partner relationship setting, Itsuki's chess piece also came to the matchmaking agency, triggering the effect of choosing another player to be a partner with them." Ichika said helplessly, "Just like before, you have to choose one; whether you want to or not, you have to choose."
"Can I still choose?" Itsuki rubbed her cheek, truly disbelieving.
"Yes, that's what's written in the instructions."
"Then I'll choose Furuhashi-san."
Without much thought, Itsuki made her choice.
"Furuhashi-san, what do you think?" Ichika asked.
"Willing."
After looking at Ren, Fumino hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"So, Itsuki-san and Furuhashi-san have also become a couple, and the choice has been triggered." Asumi no longer wanted to say congratulations, "It seems there's something wrong with this game."
"There is a problem, and it's a big one." Ichika nodded, "Or maybe the table game club didn't consider this when designing and left a loophole."
Then Fumino chose Rizu, who was not rejected. Rizu chose Yotsuba, who was not rejected, and Yotsuba chose Miku, who was not rejected.
"Wait, now the seven of us are all couples?"
After calming her emotions and looking at the seven chess pieces placed on the matchmaking agency square, Nino confirmed this fact.
"Yes, congratulations!"
"How can there be couples with seven people!" Nino pointed at Ren and couldn't help but complain, "This is clearly his harem!"
