Chapter 144 – Volume 29 – Just for You and for Eternity (4)
“What do you want to make?”
“Creating a story about strawberries and milk yourself?”
“You make up a story?”
“Didn’t Carly say to make a card out of the pages of a book?”
Then, if you unfold the cards all the way, in the end, a book made up of that format will be completed.
It was that the player himself could be seen as making up the story.
But then I just used the card as an option, so I don’t think there’s much of a difference.
Of course, I think I could use the options more freely.
When I questioned it, it was probably not what he meant to say.
Rosalia began her explanation, taking notes on her rough paper.
“In chess, if you surrender your opponent’s king, you win, right? Just like that, you win if you meet the ending of strawberry and milk.”
“Then, how do I connect?”
“The distance between the two is marked like a chess piece like this. The distance changes according to the story told using the cards. Then, when they become completely close and the two kiss, they connect.”
If it continues until the end of the game, it means that strawberry and milk win.
Instead, there are four players, not just strawberries and milk, but cream and chocolate.
Now that’s where the extra rules come in.
“Cream and Choco consists of one with bad intentions and one with good intentions. Of course, only you know that.”
“Aha?”
It is said that it is a game that uses randomness in the way that it is impossible to know which side it is.
In fact, it seems to be a kind of mafia game.
One of Cream and Choco is a traitor, and you compete against the other three with a different victory condition.
In the case of Cream, if he is not a traitor, he is just a good friend of Strawberry, but if he is a traitor, he becomes a crazy bitch who wants to take the strawberry.
In Choco’s case, if she’s not a traitor, she’s just a good kid, and if she’s a traitor, she’s brainwashed.
In this way, the story of the work was naturally reflected.
“It looks fine.”
And it would have been strange if they had just put distance between each other as a condition for winning or losing.
Each of the 4 people has a heart token, and if you consume all of them, you will die.
This makes it difficult to predict the exact intention of using the card.
For example, an event narrows the distance between strawberries and milk.
Instead, let’s say that milk’s HP is reduced.
In fact, the person who used this card was a traitor, and made this choice to kill milk.
But it’s like reducing the distance and pretending to help.
‘And since traitors aren’t voted for like the mafia, if you find out about a traitor, you can consume these hearts and use them to punish them.’
Given that there are more options than you might think.
I thought that these token objects other than cards were properly made.
“It sounds like fun.”
As if you’ve played this kind of game before, you’ve put together a very plausible setting.
Sometimes, whenever Rosa Ria does something like this, I wonder if she is a genius too.
Certainly, the story is expressed well in that way, and the concept of creating a different story every time Rosaria wants is caught.
‘Although the most important thing is the balance.’
First of all, in that it feels like a system similar to famous board games, Rosaria was very amazing for coming up with such an idea without even seeing it.
But once you think about what you just heard, there seems to be a problem.
I think it’s not good because the criminal is now fixed on one of the two every time, so it feels like you have to stop it from the start and fight.
“It’s not like that?”
“Okay. So, should all four of us put those betrayal jobs in?”
“Yes…?”
“Betrayal Strawberry, who just didn’t want girls around Milk, so instead of being connected, she had to kill everyone but Milk and herself.”
“Five…”
“The betrayal milk that says it’s dangerous for you to get involved with strawberries, and if it doesn’t happen, you have to live with strawberries unconditionally? Like this.”
“That’s fine.”
At least, if all four people have the possibility of being a traitor, it becomes a 3-to-1 traitor finding game where the culprit is unknown until the end of the game.
And even though I expressed my concern, I wondered how the hell to solve it.
Rosaria presented a solution as if it were very simple.
If your head starts rolling like that right away, if you invest time and refine it, something plausible will come out, right?
“How does Carly look? Do you think it will be fun?”
“Oh, that would be fun.”
However, this part should be checked for balance through several test plays.
No matter how much this mafia game is a party game that focuses on fun rather than perfect balance.
Still, if you don’t follow the minimum line, stress will arise every time you play the game, which will adversely affect your enjoyment.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Maybe even the first person who made chess had a hard time. Didn’t the rules change a lot later?”
Originally, a game like this requires a lot of actual play to be balanced.
But that doesn’t mean that even if I return it together, it will not be resolved.
Unlike chess, it is a 4-player game, and it is a mafia game where you must not know each other’s secrets, so 2-player test play is impossible.
“…Will I be criticized if I call a club during vacation?”
“There’s nothing wrong with contacting them once. I think we’ll have to look at it in the long term, so why don’t we stay together here at all?”
“Let’s all sleep here?”
“Of course, it won’t be possible for the two of you to hang out with me during the vacation you wanted…”
“Grumble…”
Still, did Rosaria find it attractive to publish this after raising its level of perfection?
He looked more and more worried.
But seeing this makes me want to do something like this in my new work.
“Then let’s do this. It takes time to make this anyway, right?
“Five…”
“And if the kids say it’s okay, I’ll call them around the time the samples come out and pour time to test them all together.”
If it’s hard to give up on one or the other, you can just split the time between the two and enjoy it with all your might.
Of course, the time to enjoy it decreases.
Still, it was impossible to be serious one-on-one, and Rosaria was able to be playful enough even if there were other kids.
“…Do you think it’s good to do Kali?”
“Anyway? If it’s a game that comes out as you described, it needs multiple tests unconditionally.”
“Okay, then I’ll have to do that…”
Did Rosaria realize that no matter how much she struggled, the outcome was fixed?
It was decided to call Yuria and Orca in the middle and late half of the vacation when the samples were completed.
『In a world where erotic comics are legal』
“Lia, I think it’s okay to let go soon.”
“But today is the last day… You want to stay like this longer?”
And after that time goes by fast.
Before anyone knew it, Rosaria’s new work, ‘The Last Pink Diary’ was published, and then a sample of her board game ‘Making Strawberry Milk’, which she was working on, was completed.
So, she wrote a letter of help to YuRia and Orca to test the sample, and they all sent positive replies.
So until school starts, we’re going to sleep and rest together here.
The two of them had been doing this until today.
That’s why Rosaria acts like a baby like this.
“Bae is a distracted mother, and there are no children doing what they do.”
“Aye.”
“Ah, I hear noises outside. He must have come.”
“Hey.”
Rosaria had an openly disappointed expression on her face.
After opening her door, she gave Orca a warm welcome.
But Yuria is here to help, isn’t there a need for her to maintain her nerves like that?
“Is this Carly’s house?”
“It’s more like a villa than a house, but since I don’t go into the house and I’m here all the time, it’s actually my house.”
“I’m envious of Rosaria. I want to live next to Carly like this.”
“Don’t worry, Orca. We’re all the same this vacation.”
“…Is that so?”
I have absolutely no idea what you want to say.
In any case, she wasn’t wrong, so she didn’t bother to correct YuRia’s words.
The important thing now is to test Rosaria’s game.
“Is this the game that was written in the letter?”
“Yeah, the game’s name is Strawberry Milk Making. It’s a game that aims to connect strawberries and milk.”
There wasn’t even a proper manual yet, so the two of us had to explain the rules of the game one by one.
Wow, but this is my first time touching a sample.
The size of this card is much larger than any cards I’ve known.
Of course, I was thinking about the size of a trump card.
It was much larger than that, roughly the same size as the promo card I usually bet as a pre-order reward for the Avatar series.
Due to its overwhelming size, it was quite difficult to mix it up.
‘Still, I can see why they made it this way.’
This is not an ordinary card game, so the card contains a simple story with a 4-cut SD cartoon drawn on it.
And at the bottom, the effect of playing this card was written.
In other words, one card has to contain a 4-panel manga, so the size has no choice but to be large.
“Once you shuffle 4 cards and take one, then shuffle these 4 cards and take one, the basic preparations are over.”
This is the part where a character is assigned, and the part where that character decides whether to betray.
The character card has a description of the character.
The normal victory conditions are written on the cards that do not betray.
Betrayal cards are packed with different victory conditions for each character.
“Oh, then, like in the manga, does it transform when Choco betrays?”
“Uh?”
“No, I don’t have such a function…”
Rosaria and I were taken aback by Orca’s careless question.
Now that I think about it, if I expressed those details, wouldn’t it be really fun while playing the game?
