A corrupted female lead is overwhelmingly convenient.
#76
Students from the Academy’s Labyrinth, riding the Wave of Rejection, had pooled into the Board Game Club.
“……So is he joining too?”
At Dylan’s question, Daisy looked toward where the senior was gazing.
There, unmistakably carried on the Wave of Rejection, was Felix Ardearon.
“……Yes, I’d like to submit an application.”
He’s carrying the rejection mark too.
Daisy answered calmly.
* * *
That Saturday.
Rather than wander through the Academy searching for the club room, Daisy activated the Brass Plate Navigation.
“Board Game Club Room!”
Ting!
The Brass Plate Navigation that appeared on the blank wall faithfully pointed to the Board Game Club Room.
[→Board Game Club Room→]
Daisy followed the brass plate without thinking.
But oddly, the brass plate cut off right before a fork in the path.
“Board Game Club Room!”
Thinking it hadn’t heard her, she spoke louder.
But the Brass Plate Navigation remained where it was.
“Board Game Club Room, let’s go!”
Clang.
The brass plate trembled once, then changed.
[→Think it over←]
“Think it over? What do you mean, a navigation thinking it over!”
[→Think it over, recommended←]
“Me? You’re telling me to think it over?”
She couldn’t make sense of it.
What on earth was there to think about?
“I’m late! The club advisor is supposed to come today. Quick, Board Game Club Room!”
[←Think it over once more←]
Finally, Daisy snapped.
“Decision made! You wretch, Board Game Club Room!”
At that, the brass plate navigation, which had been rattling reluctantly, changed as if annoyed.
[→Board Game Club Room→]
“Should’ve done that from the start.”
As Daisy walked briskly ahead, she didn’t notice.
She didn’t see the thin brass plate marked ‘Board Game,’ which appeared hastily patched over, peel away halfway, revealing the original plate beneath.
[→Dungeon Research Club Room→]
* * *
Daisy shot one last glare at the crumpled brass plate navigation before stepping into the room.
And she was taken aback.
‘It’s supposed to be an unpopular club, but isn’t this a bit much?’
The club room was barely larger than a closet.
A table and chairs that could seat about eight, bookshelves lining the walls, and a wall cabinet packed so full there wasn’t room to move an inch.
And the atmosphere was gloomy and dim to boot.
The single window was covered with a black blackout curtain, and the only light source was a candle floating aimlessly in midair.
On top of the blackout curtain, a sheet of paper with sloppily scrawled writing was carelessly posted.

Yet the bookshelves, where board games should have been displayed, stood empty, belying that name.
The wall cabinet, on the other hand, was so full of something that it looked ready to burst.
In this place that hardly looked like a ‘Board Game Club Room,’ there were already people gathered.
“Daisy!”
“My apologies for arriving late.”
“That’s why I said we should go together.”
“…….”
Milo Everett, Straud Burnum, Monica Laoli, and Felix Ardearon, who still said nothing but had shown up regardless.
She’d expected this much.
But there were people here she hadn’t anticipated.
“Nora Spence?”
“Hi.”
Nora, seated across from Monica, answered with a sullen expression.
“You were interested in board games?”
“…….”
As if there was any chance of that.
Daisy, catching sight of that look, nodded knowingly.
So you got rejected too.
Nora Spence, carrying the rejection mark on her jacket, had indeed wound up stuck in this place like the rest of them.
Well, that much she understood. But…….
“So why are you here?”
“Oh, hello, Daisy.”
Boris Hegul gave a timid wave in greeting.
“You’re from the Bee Garden.”
With a yellow nameplate, there was no club that would have rejected him.
“I really like board games.”
Boris, still bespectacled and looking as though diplomacy had failed him, answered bashfully, his face flushing.
So Boris Hegul had come of his own accord.
To this lair where the bears’ labyrinths had pooled together.
His luck really was terrible…….
Daisy, watching Boris Hegul, clicked her tongue in sympathy and took the empty seat.
Naturally, it was right next to Felix Ardearon, whom no one wanted to sit near.
Just then, the club room door swung open, and an upperclassman pulled low over a large hood entered with a sluggish gait.
It was Dylan Mason.
Dylan squeezed past the chairs where the freshmen sat and the bookcase with difficulty, then collapsed into the head seat.
“……So everyone’s here.”
At Dylan Mason’s words, Nora asked, clearly confused.
“Is this all of us? The other seniors……where are they?”
“……Oh.”
Dylan let out a short exclamation and continued slowly.
“……We’re a brand new club.”
Wait, did that mean…….
“……So the club membership is just this?”
Daisy glanced around the room.
Seven freshmen.
One upperclassman.
And one faculty advisor still to arrive.
‘Good heavens, this is absolutely perfect!’
The club she’d happened to join turned out to be the ideal club for keeping things quiet.
Daisy allowed herself a small cry of triumph.
So the gods were finally starting to grant her wishes……!
Knock! Knock-knock!
At that moment, the cheerful sound of knocking filled the air, and the club room door opened.
And who entered was,
“Our sweet little bear cubs! And one tiny honeybee! What a wonderful reunion! I am the Board Game Club advisor—not Dens, but—and I’m absolutely delighted!”
O God.
Has anyone ever cursed you after you granted their wish?
It almost happened just now. Be careful.
Apart from Daisy’s warning, Sparkle, who happened to be gleaming particularly brightly today, seemed to be in exceptionally good spirits.
As Sparkle surveyed the interior of the club room, he began squeezing into what little gap remained.
“Pardon me for a moment.”
“Ack, move over a bit……!”
“Ugh!”
“P-Professor! Just a moment!”
“There’s no more room in here!”
The freshmen, already half-wedged in place, were suddenly shoved deeper into the club room en masse.
But Sparkle did not stop.
He only closed the club room door after forcing his enormous wings inside as well.
“Phwoo, fwoosh! Fwussh!”
In the process, Nora Spence, who had caught feathers, spat out wing down repeatedly.
“Oh dear, my apologies.”
Sparkle said this with eyes gleaming brightly, though his expression showed no trace of genuine regret.
“But as an advisor, I simply had to be present for this historic moment! Since the club’s founding, we’ve never had so many freshmen join at once!”
“Wasn’t this a new club?”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Right, that was the setting. How careless of me.
Sparkle, momentarily flustered by Monica’s question, hurried to continue.
“Anyway, we welcome you all! Don’t worry yourselves! Our club is absolutely safe, and tremendously fun!”
“Board games can be dangerous too?”
“…….”
“…….”
“……Not at all!”
What was with that awkward silence just now?
While the freshmen chewed over an anxiety they couldn’t quite name, Sparkle suddenly shot to his feet as though he’d caught wind of something.
Screech!
The large table scraped backward, and everyone stumbled.
“Well then, I shall take my leave! Enjoy yourselves!”
Thud! Whoosh! Crack! Achoo! Achoo! Screech— Bang! Clang! Oh, my apologies! Thump!
And so Sparkle, who had arrived as an advisor, knocked over a chair, struck Boris’s cheek with a wing, scattered down everywhere, shattered an empty bottle, left a brief apology in his wake, and departed.
“…….”
“…….”
Left alone in the suddenly wrecked club room were seven freshmen and one upperclassman.
The freshmen, Daisy among them, wore rather complicated expressions.
Had coming here been the right choice?
Doubt crept in.
But the freshmen quickly pushed such thoughts aside.
“……Since we’re in the Board Game Club, we ought to play a board game.”
Dylan had suddenly pulled something urgently from his hoodie pocket.
“Wow, finally!”
“What are we playing?”
What Dylan produced was a card decorated with fruit… and a bell.
“……When you get five fruits of the same kind… you ring the bell.”
That was it.
X-Regali.
* * *
Did you know?
In a fantasy world populated by many who possess physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, there is one thing to keep in mind when playing X-Regali.
Ring the bell too hard, and your palm goes right through it.
