 ………Kirika Kotono, Verification Team’s 4-person Christmas game party………

 On Christmas Eve, our Verification Team held our annual Christmas gathering with just the 4 of us.

 ”So, it’s that time again! The Verification Team Christmas Game Tournament!!”

 ”Woo!”

 ”Awesome!”

 ”Yay!”

 Every year, the 4 of us from the Verification Team gather for a Christmas party.

 This is an event just for our single days, and I always thought it would end once someone got married.

 I never imagined that all 4 of us would end up marrying the same person and still be able to hang out like this after getting married.

 ”Guess what! The winner of this game tournament will receive a special gift from Aqua-sama, along with a personal visit from me, Yukishiro Emily, for some hands-on entertainment!!”

 ”Yay!”

 ”Awesome!”

 ”Woo!”

 Emily-san scans everyone’s faces with a teasing look.

 Seriously, just get to the announcement already.

 ”Surprise! The winner will get Aqua-sama to be their Elder Brother for a day!!”

 Phew…

 The 3 of us take a light breath to steady ourselves.

 ”Sorry everyone, but I’m not losing today.”

 Kanon-san’s declaration of seriousness makes the atmosphere tense.

 ”It seems the time has come to show the real Morikawa Kaede that we haven’t seen on national broadcasts.”

 Kaede-san, please show that real side of yours on national broadcasts.

 I’m sure Announcer Onidzuka and the staff will be overjoyed and in tears.

 ”So, here’s the game we’ll be playing!!”

 Emily-san places a game on the table.

 Wait, is that the Happy Life Planning Game that every girl has played at least once!?

 ”Rules are simple. Spin the roulette and aim for the goal together. Then, when you reach the goal, everyone discusses and decides who was the happiest.”

 Of course I know.

 The key to this game is the final discussion.

 Even if you lose the game, you can easily turn things around depending on the last argument and debate.

 Because of that, it used to be called the devil’s game, as it could crack friendships and ruin relationships.

 ”So, to start, I, Yukishiro Emily, will spin the roulette clockwise.”

 When Emily-san spun the roulette, she landed on the number 7.

 This game allows you to move forward only the number you draw, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll land on a good space just because you rolled a high number.

 ”4, 5, 6, 7… Yay! I found Aqua-sama’s photo book by the river. Happiness level goes up by 100!!”

 ”No way!?”

 ”Ugh!”

 No way!!

 The happiness life plan game is considered a social game that reflects the harsh realities of life.

 Normally, landing on the river space means you pick up a rocket launcher, so how can such a delicious event happen!?

 ”Okay, my turn next. 4!”

 Kanon-san moves her piece forward 4 spaces.

 ”Um… I got a salmon sandwich from Koguma-senpai, who lives nearby and told me to eat salmon on the Chris space while lounging on the kotatsu in the living room. Happiness level goes up by 100.”

 ”Koguma-senpai!?”

 ”No way, Yukari-gon just showed up!”

 No… way.

 The living room event in the happiness life plan game is famously harsh, where you encounter a bear in the living room and end up in the hospital, taking 10 turns off.

 How can Koguma-senpai be okay with such a soft event?

 ”My turn next. Yay! 10!! Hello, hello, I’m Morikawa Kaede, the girl who’s lived only by luck!!”

 Hehe, does Kaede-san not know that rolling a 10 on the first turn in the happiness life plan game is the worst move?

 ”9, 10 and… Oh! I rolled the pencil and luckily passed Otomezaki!! Miraculously, I’m in the same class as Aqua-kun. Happiness level 100, here I come!!”

 Wait… isn’t landing on the 10th space basically a guaranteed bad event?

 I worked hard to get into this school, and there are no boys.

 Three years of high school life with no boys, happiness level going negative or what?

 I didn’t even confess, and just making eye contact got me rejected.

 Three years of being a hikikomori is basically confirmed!!

 ”Next is Nee-san.”

 ”Oh, okay.”

 I spin the roulette.

 9… huh. High numbers aren’t good, you know.

 I move my piece 9 spaces forward.

 ”Ah…”

 I glance down at the text on the space where I stopped.

 [Before entering high school, a surprising lucky event!? Aqua-kun picked up the pass I dropped at the station on the day of the exam and delivered it to me. Could it be that this person is also entering the same school? A hint of romance. Happiness level up by 300.]

 Whoaaaaaa!

 Whoaaaaaa!

 Whoaaaaaa!

 ”Nee-san, that’s awesome!”

 ”Whoa. I can’t believe there’s an event like this.”

 ”Ugh, if only I had landed just one space before!!”

 Inko-san. Let’s throw that computer with the crappy game in the trash right now.

 Your true otome game is right here.

 ”Seriously, for a game called Happy Life Planning, isn’t this a bit too lenient!?”

 ”Right? I was thinking the same thing.”

 Kanon-san and I look down at the box the game came in.

 [Manufactured by: Takara Emily]

 Ugh, it’s another front company for the Holy Aqua Religion, isn’t it!?No wonder the difficulty seemed off.

 Emily-san silently points to the bottom.

 [Licensed by: Beryl Entertainment, Supervised by: Shirogane Aqua]

 What the heck!?

 I didn’t hear anything about this!?

 ”Actually, this is Beryl’s New Year’s gift sent to FC members on January 1st.”

 Huh!?

 They were preparing something like this for FC members.

 ”I think the only ones who probably knew about it at Beryl were Ako-san and Aqua-sama.”

 Ah, by the way, President Atori said she’s gonna send out New Year’s gifts on January 1st, separate from the special bonus, so look forward to it…

 So that’s what she meant.

 ”Let’s hurry up and continue!”

 ”Yeah, let’s do it!”

 ”Got it, got it!”

 Encouraged by Kanon-san and Kaede-san, Emily-san spins the roulette.

 Hehe, I never thought that the happy life planning game would turn into such a fun game.

 I guess it’s all thanks to Beryl, or rather, Aqua for being an idol.

 ”Yay! I won!”

 ”Looks like Kanon’s the best after all!”

 ”Ugh, I was so close!”

 Phew. So Kanon was the first to reach the goal, huh?

 But the game isn’t over yet.

 ”So, we’re gonna discuss who wins from here… what do you think?”

 Honestly, the game is so much fun that I’m okay with whoever wins at this point.

 Emily-san and Kaede-san turn their gazes toward Kanon-san, who reached the goal first.

 ”Why don’t we just say everyone’s a winner? After all, all 4 of us got to marry Aqua in the game! At that point, everyone’s a winner, right?”

 ”I think that’s a great idea too.”

 ”Yay! Everyone’s a winner!”

 ”Wooooo!”

 We 4 hold hands and celebrate together.

 ”But what about the prize?”

 ”That’s not a problem. Aqua-sama doesn’t care about the little things. Even if we tell him the winners are all 4 of us, he’ll be like, ‘Oh, okay.’ He’s just that kind of big-hearted guy.”

 We nod in agreement with Emily’s words.

 ”So, to make sure it’s okay for anyone to win, Aqua-sama asked me to give this outfit to the winner when they play, so I’m thinking of handing these clothes out to everyone.”

 ”What’s that?”

 ”What do you mean?”

 ”Wait! This is my high school uniform, isn’t it!!”

 When did this happen? I mean, this has happened before, right!?

 I thought I sealed it deep in the back of my closet so it would never see the light of day again!!

 ”We have excellent ninjas in our midst. Ninj-nin!”

 ”Ninjas are unfair! Holy Aqua Religion is so unfair!!”

 I’m holding my head in my hands, thinking Rin-chan must’ve done this.

 ”C’mon, let’s all try ’em on!”

 Well, I guess it’s just tryin’ ’em on.

 Wait, what? Is it this tight? The shirt’s all stretched out, and it’s a little tight around the boobs, too.

 Oh no, I might’ve gained some weight.

 ”Guhehe. Nee-san, you lookin’ so naughty in that uniform!”

 ”Geez!”

 Emily-san squeezes my boobs from behind, and the shirt buttons pop off, exposing my bra.

 What are you all doing on Christmas Eve?!

 I scold Emily-san again today.

* * *

 ………Shirogane Kanon, Verification Team’s Christmas………

 We calm down and change back into our regular clothes.

 ”Okay, so next is the usual gift exchange!”

 ”Yay!”

 ”We’ve been waitin’ for this!”

 Kaede-senpai and Nee-san clap their hands in excitement at Emily-senpai’s words.

 Meanwhile, I give Emily-senpai a suspicious look while clapping my hands.

 ”Emily-senpai, you didn’t buy anything weird this year like that electric massager last year, did you?”

 ”No, no, I just wanted to help everyone relax their tense muscles, heh-heh.”

 You’re not fooling anyone with that perverted face!

 Oh, come on!!

 ”So, let’s draw the lots as usual. And remember, if you draw your own, you have to draw again!”

 Emily-senpai holds out the box with the lots.

 ”Here, Kanon. If you’re gonna be suspicious, you can draw first this time. You were the last one left last year.”

 ”Okay.”

 I pray that it’s not Emily-senpai’s Christmas present this year!

 I draw a folded paper from the box with the lots.

 I hope it’s Nee-san’s. I unfold the paper I drew.

 ”Ugh!”

 ”Congratulations, Kanon!! It’s my present to you. Here you go!!”

 Geeeezzzz

 Why is it another present from Emily-senpaiiii!

 You’re definitely up to something!! Huh? You’re saying you’re not? It’s just my luck?

 No way, that’s just a mistake!!

 ”Here you go!”

 Emily-senpai hands me a paper bag filled with a present.

 She’s got that smirking face again.

 She definitely picked something weird.

 I pull out the bag that was inside the paper bag.

 ”What’s this, clothes?”

 ”C’mon! Go change in the next room!”

 Even though it’s from Emily-senpai, I gotta wear this present since she went through the trouble of getting it for me.

 I throw a cushion at Emily-senpai, who tried to come in saying she’d help me change, and fend her off while I change into the gifted clothes.

 ”What the heck is thisss!!”

 ”Thank you, thank you!”

 Emily-senpai is rubbing her hands together while tears stream down her face.

 Kaede-senpai turns red when she sees my outfit, and Nee-san looks relieved that she didn’t have to back out.

 ”Why is it a swimsuit for Christmas!? Are you stupid or something!?”

 ”No, no, it’s fine to wear a swimsuit in winter. But I wanna feel that special Christmas vibe. This greedy cosplay set lets you enjoy both to the fullest!! Man, with your natural blonde hair and blue eyes, the cosplay level is off the charts!!”

 I wrap the cape I was wearing over the swimsuit around my body to hide from Emily-senpai’s lewd gaze.

 ”Ugh, I shouldn’t have worn this.”

 ”Even while complaining, I’m touched by how Kano-pon is actually wearing it. So, I wore the same thing too!”

 Why is Emily-senpai wearing the same thing!

 See, I knew that lottery was rigged!!

 I shoot a suspicious look at Emily-senpai.

 ”No, no, it’s not rigged. As proof, I’ve got swimsuits ready for Nee-san and Kaede-paisen too.”

 ”Whaaat!?”

 ”Huh!?”

 At this point, you two are getting dragged in too.

 I hold the swimsuit in my hand and approach the two with a serious face.

 Kaede-senpai and Nee-san seemed to have given in to my pressure, and they changed into the outfits that Emily-senpai prepared in the next room.

 ”It feels kinda breezy. I think I might get a stomachache.”

 ”Kaede-paisen, you look great! The equation of a ponytail and a swimsuit really brings out that neck, huh? Total justice!”

 ”Yeah, yeah! Plus, your legs are so pretty, the bikini suits you really well!”

 Kaede-paisen, praised by me and Emily-senpai, has a shy look on her face.

 ”Eheh, eheh, I wonder if Aqua-kun will be happy too?”

 ”Of course!”

 ”Yeah, yeah!”

 I’ve said before that I like girls in swimsuits more than food, so Aqua will definitely be super happy.

 ”Ugh, why do I have to…”

 ”Nee-san… so lewd…”

 ”U-um…”

 ”I, Yukishiro Emily, have created something outrageous. Is this what they call a s*xual night’s mischief? Hehehe!”

 Emily-senpai, glared at by Nee-san with her sanpaku look, hides behind me.

 I wonder why Emily-senpai says things like that when she knows she’ll get scolded.

 Is it some kind of disease where you’ll die if you don’t say it?

 ”Ugh, just kill me.”

 Nee-san, that line is counterproductive.

 Or do you know that and are saying it on purpose?

 To hide the flesh that looks like it’s about to spill out of the swimsuit that’s smaller than what we’re wearing, Nee-san wraps a cape around her body.

 ”So, who’s drawing next? Hehehe.”

 ”Then I’ll draw next!”

 Kaede-senpai eagerly draws a lot.

 ”Kanon’s here!”

 ”Damn ittt!”

 Kaede-senpai is happy to have drawn my name.

 Seeing that, Emily-senpai looks frustrated.

 ”By the way, I have enough for everyone, so don’t worry.”

 ”Yay!”

 ”Actually, I do too.”

 ”Me too, me too!”

 Huh? If you bought enough for everyone, is there really a need for this lottery act?

 I mean, Emily-senpai is in charge of the presents, so she should know!!

 ”What’s this? Isn’t it too small?”

 Kaede-senpai freezes when she sees my present taken out of the bag.

 ”It’s baby clothes for our kids. We actually made them matching!”

 ”Oh! I see!!”

 I’m giving handmade baby clothes to Emily-senpai and Nee-san.

 They’re all basically the same shape, but I’ve spiced them up a bit with different colors, frills, ribbons, and fabrics.

 ”Cute! Thank you, Kanon-san!”

 ”You’ve gotten pretty handy, huh? Back in the day…”

 Emily-senpai, let’s not talk about the past!

 If we’re gonna talk about the past, I’m still holding a grudge about how you helped me make my cosplay outfit in middle school and purposely made the fabric area smaller!!

 ”Well then, next is my turn!”

 We all open the present from Kaede-senpai.

 ”What’s this…”

 ”What the heck is this?”

 ”Kaede-senpai?”

 We all turn our gazes toward Kaede-senpai.

 ”This is one of the recommended workout goods from Iria and Inko.”

 Ah, it looks like one of those sketchy infomercial products…

 Me, Nee-san, and Emily-senpai all have sad faces, worried that Kaede-senpai got scammed again.

 ”Believe it or not, just swinging this stick around will shape up your belly fat!!”

 At Kaede-senpai’s words, everyone goes deadpan.

 Belly fat is a lifelong enemy for girls.

 And this is supposed to be a tool to get rid of it?

 We all read the instructions and line up to swing the stick around.

 ”This might be pretty tough.”

 ”Surprisingly, it uses a lot of muscles.”

 I don’t know if it’ll work, but I thought I’d give it a try.

 Probably, everyone will get bored of it in about 3 days, though…

 ”Well then, finally it’s my turn to give a present!”

 We all check out Nee-san’s gift.

 ”W-What is this!?”

 ”No way. That Nee-san!?”

 While I freeze up looking at the present, Kaede-senpai and Emily-senpai high-five in joy.

 Huh? Nee-san, seriously…?

 ”Ahem, as you all know, we are mothers, but we are also women.”

 ”Yeah!”

 ”That’s right!”

 Yeah, I get it.

 I nod silently.

 ”So, everyone, please wear this lingerie and seduce Aqua-san!!”

 I spread out the lingerie my Nee-san gave me.

 It’s a slightly mature red set.

 Victoria-oneesama would probably buy something like this, but it’s a style I don’t usually have.

 I wonder if Aqua will be happy to see me in this?

 ”Hmm, I don’t really have anything white and blue.”

 ”That’s fine, Emily. With your looks, it’ll suit you even if you keep quiet.”

 So, I’m supposed to keep quiet, huh.

 But I think this lingerie is nice.

 ”Kaede-senpai’s black one is nice too.”

 ”Yeah, I don’t usually buy this style either, so it might be good.”

 We try to guess who got which lingerie.

 Just then, someone opens the door and walks in.

 ”Oh, sorry. You guys are here…wait, what are you wearing?!”

 Aqua sees us and strikes a triumphant pose.

 Oh…I’m still wearing the gift Emily-senpai gave me.

 ”Thank you, thank you so much!”

 Aqua sees us and bursts into happy tears.

 We exchange glances and thank each other, then surround Aqua, all 4 of us.

 ”Well then, Aqua, you know what to do, right?”

 ”Aqua-san, don’t even think about running away.”

 ”Aqua-sama, prepare yourself.”

 ”Aqua-kun, shall we?”

 And so, we began our sacred night’s afterparty.
