Bodokan ch12

Going forward without turning back...!

That's more like me.

3 gold nuggets.

Okay! Not a bad number...

Eh~ You got a 3?
Amazing~<3 You've got 25 points already.
Gh...

Weren't you boasting about every little thing up until now?
If you're being yourself,
shouldn't you boast about that 3 too?

...Excuse me.
I had no idea you wanted to hear my voice so much.
It's a 3.

Looks like she really is gonna wait for me to return home...

Carrying around 25 points makes me feel like a staggering duck.

I have some time before the train reaches its destination,
but I need to get as close to home as possible...

That's exactly why I need to go far.

Because at the far reaches
is a raft!

If I take the raft, I can potentially make it home in as few as three turns!

Getting back in three turns isn't impossible.
You can't go too far with big numbers, after all.
If she rolls a 4, 5 or 6, she can land on the raft.

And even if she gets close to her house,
this game has a safe area in the middle of the houses where battle is forbidden.

She'll need a 4 or higher to land on the raft...
and then a 3 or higher to get from the raft to the safe area...

Safe

That's easy.

At least it would be
if this game... didn't have other players.

Oh.
Looks like the girl you're simping for is gonna win.

If she makes it back with 25 gold, she's practically won.

Super rich guy who finds death games too intense as he gets older and now just looks at yuri

Don't be so sure.

My Yakuza girl
is pretty despised, after all.

Hey.
What're you doing, Lapin?

What a coincidence.
I was just thinking of heading home too.

I'm a fish out of water who's one step ahead of you.

She got me...!

She intentionally chose not to go the shortest route so I wouldn't be able to get to where I wanted to take the raft...

and force me to get off a little further away from home!?

p10

I'd wait for you... no matter where you get off, Kumicho<3
I'm so happy you call all this way~
This girl is really pissing me off.

Who goes straight to see a debt collection agency in this day and age!?
Go home, you hyene woman!
Agency? (lol) Don't you mean raft?

Rafts are convenient, which makes you want to use them,
but that comes with the risk of getting ambushed where you land.

p11

Tch!

There's still time before the train arrives...
Should I take the long way around...?

I won't get home right away,
but I can play it by ear and see how those two act.

They can't just loiter around the same spot forever.

p12

Kumiko's thinking is correct.
These two can't simply wait around.

In order for Lapin to secure her own victory,
she needs to bring her gold nuggets to her house.

Having understood that action,

p13

Ranko needed to make a decision too.
Lapin-chan helped me surround Kumicho...
but she's got 18 points... which is more than the 11 I have...

Pigumi-chan's steadily earning too.
If I can't steal from Kumicho, I'll be in dead last...
Should I stop being so obsessed with stealing from Kumicho
and go back to earning for myself...?

p14

A foolish question...
I'm Tabura Ranko, the marriage swindler...!
I'd rather die than earn my own keep!

Eating sushi from the gold dust of other people's money is my way of life...!
When on dates, I'm obviously gonna make my partner front the bill...!
And water and electric need to be paid with someone else's money!

p15

The result,
Ranko kept her sights set on Kumiko...
and, without making any big movements,

waited for Kumiko to disembark.

I've been growing tired of waiting, Kumicho.

p16

Could you hand over
all of your money?

Let me teach you something.
When you pick a fight with a yakuza,
you're in for a fright.
