[The blurb for the upcoming story "Player" is at the very end.]

Whenever people asked what he wanted to do in the future, Aizawa Yuan's eyes would instinctively dart away, because he didn't know what he wanted to do either.

But when his gaze swept over the tall, slender young man, Aizawa Yuan couldn't help smiling, his eyes unconsciously following him.

By the time he realized it, it was already too late.

He had deliberately worked his way into the young man's life.

He wanted to steal the treasure the guardians protected and make it his own. He wanted to be the only person in that man's field of vision.

At that moment, Aizawa Yuan suddenly understood what he wanted to do with his future.

So Aizawa Yuan began to plot.

He began a plan that could lead to heaven with one thought and hell with the next.

After waking up, Aizawa Yuan looked at the young man with a smile in his eyes. The other man's gaze was a little helpless, but he kept peeling the apple in his hand.

He only asked, "Did you ever think about what would happen if you failed?"

Aizawa Yuan smiled.

If he failed, it would be a prank.

If he succeeded, it would be a Vongola operation.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

Just as he had years ago, when he bet his life at a casino.

Upcoming story: "The Player Doesn't Play by the Rules"

Blurb:

As a veteran player, Ishihara Terutsuki has three rules for games:

First: What's the main quest? Can I skip it?

Second: NPCs are for raising affection, not for respecting.

Third: If it isn't fun, make some trouble!

From the start, the identity he randomly got was... the young master of the Ubuyashiki family, a delicate beauty so sickly that his whole clan doted on him and wouldn't let the wind blow on him or rain touch him.

Terutsuki: ???

Is this stupid game broken?

He wanted to build an empire from scratch and punch the boss, not get fed medicine and tucked in by NPCs, let alone have them look at him like he was intellectually disabled!

Even more absurdly, a couple of coughs sent the whole estate into chaos, as if he'd contracted a terminal illness.

Fine, he could put up with being treated like a fragile little thing. But he was still going to cause trouble on the sly.

Sneak out in the dead of night to check out demons? No problem.

Sell demon intel to the Demon Slayer Corps for a profit? Easy.

When he was really bored, he'd go on an NPC affection-raising spree.

Giving gifts lowers affection? No! Absolutely not!

Who do you think you're refusing? A great player!

If one gift doesn't work, send a pile. Even if it annoys them to death, he'll max out their affection!

Life went on like this until one day...

Terutsuki found an injured young man on Mount Fujikasane.

[Ding! A bindable NPC, "Sawa● Tsunayoshi," detected.]

[Would you like to bind?]

Terutsuki looked at the System screen, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

Aha~ Looks like he'd found something even more interesting to do.

"Terutsuki." He tilted his head and smiled innocently. "Hey, kid, want to rebuild the Vongola here? Limited-time offer, half off!"
