Board Game Joy

During the day, at Shuchi'in Academy, Board Game Club.

"Today you must call me Chika-sensei."

At the moment, Chika was holding a makeshift pointer made of newspaper in her hand, and she said angrily to Ren standing in front of her.

"I understand, Chika-sensei."

Ren obediently replied.

Ahem...

Seeing how compliant he was, Chika blushed, then pretended to be as calm as possible and ordered, "Call me again."

"Chika-sensei."

Ren followed her instructions.

"Ah, very good."

Chika nodded in satisfaction.

Although she wanted to take this opportunity to let Ren call her like that a few more times, she had to let go of her idea to consider her current identity and image.

After all, she is a teacher now.

"So, let me teach you how to make a board game."

"Yes."

Ren said hopefully.

Originally, today was supposed to be the day when he invited Chika to eat ramen, but after he stated his request to teach him how to make a board game directly, before he could treat her to ramen, he was dragged to the school's board game club.

That's why he ended up in a board game with Chika.

"Sit down and let me think about what I said before."

Since she had already told Ren some basic knowledge about making board games on a previous video call, she just needed to continue now.

"Um."

After finding a seat next to the table and sitting down, Ren reminded, "Chika-sensei, you were talking about it last time..."

"Things like that are not important now. My identity now is a teacher, and you are my student." Chika stated firmly.

"Sorry, Chika-sensei."

Ren apologized.

Chika raised her head and said kindly, "I'll forgive you this time, but I can't make another reasonable mistake."

Cool!

It feels great to oppress Ren!

It's so enjoyable not only to hear him call her Chika-sensei, but also to find faults with him, and he can't refuse.

Especially when she thought this person was a lifelong enemy, the feeling of pleasure increased several levels.

Indeed, dragging him straight to the board game club instead of eating ramen was the right thing to do.

She had to make good use of this time.

"Chika-sensei, you were talking about it last time..."

Before Ren finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chika.

"Things like that are not important now. I have thought of a better way to teach."

It's really boring if she doesn't do anything and just teaches.

Moreover, with teaching like that, she couldn't let herself be bullied... No, that's the joy of teaching Ren.

Therefore, a different teaching method must be changed!

"A better way? What is it?"

If there's a better way, Ren wouldn't mind if Chika changed her mind temporarily.

Chika announced loudly, "It's learning while playing."

"What does that mean?"

This was the first time Ren had heard of this teaching method.

"It's very simple. We play board games while I teach you." Chika said proudly, "Board games are not subjects like Japanese and mathematics. You can learn them as long as you study diligently, and then make them simple."

"And if you want to make a good board game, you must have enough experience playing board games."

"So, Kamikawa-kun, how many board games have you played?"

"Not more than five."

Ren's answer was very quick.

"That's why I decided to use the learning while playing teaching method." Chika showed a sly smile, "During the teaching process, you must fully experience the fun of board games."

"I understand."

After careful analysis, what Chika said made sense.

Things like board games require more than just theoretical experience.

"So, let's play this board game first."

Seeing Ren completely fascinated, Chika took out the board game from the cabinet and said with a smile.

Of course, she had ideas to teach him, and she wasn't lying to him about playing while learning.

It's just that she hid some selfish thoughts in it.

Namely, letting Ren feel the fun of playing board games, and then joining the board game club as usual.

This way, the board game club can not only have one more person, but they can also be asked to help try out new board games.

And most importantly, she can oppress junior like Ren for being a senior in the board game club.

She wanted Ren to call her Chika-senpai several times.

Now is the time to fulfill that promise.

······

"In this case, I must win, right?"

Moving chess pieces to the end, Ren asked hesitantly.

"Yes."

Chika reluctantly admitted.

Helping to clean up this board game, he then asked, "Chika-sensei, what other board games do you want to play?"

"I won't play anymore. I won't play anymore."

Chika said angrily.

"Eh? Why? Didn't you just play a few board games?" Ren asked puzzled.

Chika said loudly, "Because you cheated, um, you definitely cheated."

"I didn't cheat, I just played normally." Ren said.

"Then how do you explain that you keep winning?"

They had just played seven board games, totaling an hour and a half.

Ren won every time, and she didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Especially the board games she mastered.

Originally, Chika thought that for Ren to call her Chika-sensei, at worst, she would give up and let him win later.

As a result, she always lost.

And she cheated and never let her win, it's too strange.

"I really just played normally." Ren repeated firmly.

"How is that possible? I don't believe it."

Chika didn't believe his explanation.

"If I remember correctly, didn't we play board games to teach me?"

This is different from what was promised.

"Such things are not important. What matters is why you always beat me?"

"Maybe I'm luckier?"

Ren replied unsurely.

Chika said dissatisfiedly, "What are you talking about? Is board games about luck?"
