Bodokan ch16: Decisive Battle

Oh
dear
uncle~

I haven't spoken to Kumicho lately,
so I want her to join us for a board game!
That's fine, right?

Hmm.
Even if it's a request from my cute little Pigumi,
Kumiko-san is really busy helping us out right now...

It's the Good Toy Award winner<3
Word Sniper<3
Goo-...
But...

Pigumi.
Didn't I say we should make this request together?
I'll older than you, y'know?
I'm just talking to Uncle. You worry too much, Lapin.
The prison is dangerous!
Since you're so small, Pigumi...

The fragrant scent of yuri...!

Ahem.
If you insist,
I'll make some adjustments.

Even black can be dyed into pure white.

Well
then.

We've maanaged
to get them to agree to a game...!

Okay, you two.
Let's go over the plan one more time.
Okay.

Word Sniper is a game
where you say words pertaining to a "subject" beginning with the "hiragana" that is placed on the field.
It's a game all about speed.

Ko
Cold things
Kokoro! (Heart!)
Konnyaku!
Koohii! (Coffee!)
Koori! (Ice!)

Whoever says a word that matches the subject the fastest wins the "letter card".

This time around, we'll rig the deck to put out hiragana in a certain order
a say words with a hidden meaning.

By connecting them to the hiragana,
they'll spell out a message to Kumicho.

Ta-su-ke-ho-sh-i-ka (Do you need help?)

The main problem is whether or not
Kumicho will even notice the message.

The moment the "ta" is played,
we'll all make an alluring pose, right?
Yeah.
She'll definitely think "something is up"
while the chief will be distracted by the yuri action...

Strange

From the moment we make contact her, Kumicho would at least be expecting some kind of message during the game...
Ta... Su... Ke...
"Do you need help?"!

She'll probably figure it out!
I'll not to say "yes"~

On the other hand, we'll need to make sure not to overlook any messages Kumicho might be sending us.

Okay, it's perfect<3
Now we can casually ask Kumicho about her intentions during the game.
It'll be bad if they end up bring a new copy of Word Sniper that hasn't been tampered with, though~
The chief always tried to keep his arrangements within budget...
I guess he's on hard times? There's no way he'd do that~

Instead of Pigumi's own copy, let's use a new copy of Word Sniper.
Seriously!?

It's not a hard-to-obtain game
like that GOLD game we played the other day, isn't it...?

Indeed.
It's so popular that I have my own copy too.
Well then.

We've been had...

Wait, isn't it bad that Kumicho's the one who suggested it?
And with the way she's talking, she's totally dancing on the prison's fingertips.
...
Well my Uncle is right nearby... It might be an act.
So what do we do? Continue the game?

Word Sniper.
That is indeed a good game.
It's quite similar to the "Codenames" game we first played together.
You can tell a lot about someone's way of thinking and upbringing through playing it.

K-
Kumicho's speaking all politely.
Did you eat something weird?
Fufufu. Of course not, you simpleton.
Well that was uncalled for...

Kumiko-san has undergone special training.
She's realised the wonder that is Bodokan.
Indeed.
It's all thanks to the chief's teachings.

More importantly, are you sure you want to play this game?
You appear panicked for some reason...
...

p10

Sure~ Let's do it~
!

Hey, what's the point anymore?
We can still figure something out through how she responds.
Besides, it'll seem unnatural if we back off now.

There's definitely some meaning in seeing this through!
Well... if you say so...

p12

...What pretty flowers.
Are these... geraniums?

The chief gave me them
as a show of thanks.

Uuh... To think that problem child
would become such a model prisoner.
I'm happy that my feelings got through to you.
Ohohohoho

p13

Now then, about the punishment this time around.
Since we have some rebellious... I mean
some people with splendid egos here today...

We'll round you all up...
I mean, save on time performance

by using this!

If Kumiko-san gets first place,
It's a brainwashing machine straight out of Ko** Pharmaceuticals...

p14

Relax. It can't brainwash people that easily.
Hooray for pure yuri.
No, it can.
It's completely brainwashed you.

It take it you already know the rules?
For example, if you get "ta" and "yellow things",
you need to think of a yellow thing beginning with "ta".
...For example, "tanjuu (bile)".
Bile is definitely not a good example.

Ta - Yellow things

p15

Fufufu. Appropriate words will spring to mind without you realising it.
You'll understand if you try.
Now let's beginning.

I'll flip it over first.

p16

A - Zoo animals

A...
noa...!

p17

What the heck is an anoa...?
