Marriage Space

『You make a big money from a trade! You earn 10 gold coins!』

「Ara, I acquired more money」

「That’s amazing. Here’s ten gold coins」

「Thank you. Although they are fake money, it is fun to accumulate money like this. I wonder if I should also start a company like my father?」

Alicia happily said after stacking the gold coins made with Earth magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Being influenced by the Game of Life, she unhesitatingly said something amazing, I wonder if she’s alright?

If it’s the Duke House of Ringrande, they have the financial power and connection that it would be easy for them to create one or two companies.

As a result of advancing properly like that, we decided our profession and it now looks like this.

Alicia, Merchant.

Ra-chan, Magician.

Me, Noble (Baron).

Eric, Royal Knight

Bram, Apprentice Knight.

Fortunately, most of us end up with the profession we initially wished for.

Alicia became a merchant and steadily earned money, Ra-chan also demonstrated excellent progress by presenting her research results and exterminating monsters while mastering the path of magic.

Speaking of me, I’m steadily saving money mainly from the tax revenue from the people of my territory. A great and peaceful noble life where I am not bound by anything without getting involved in troublesome things. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

I want to do my best and have a relaxed lifestyle where I earn passive income like this in real life.

After that, Eric entered the Knight route, having military achievements and rushing through the ranks to become a Royal Knight. He was making rapid progress despite forgetting his wallet and being stuck in misfortune spaces until he couldn’t advance.

And then, the only person who hasn’t found a satisfying job is.....

『Practice together with the Knights. You have muscular pains, take a break for one turn 』

「Taking a break from muscle pains, are you kidding me!」

「Even if you said that. It is just that Bram-sama happens to stop at a bad space is all」

Every time Bram landed on a strange space like this, I got scolded by Bram.

Well, I was the one who wrote the events on the spaces and I understand his feeling of wanting to get angry, but there is nothing I can do about the lucky spaces.

「If only you stop at the space next to it then you will be able to be promoted into a Knight, that was unfortunate. Well, please do your best, just like an apprentice knight, with gritty determination」

「……gunununu, Why should an honorable Earl like me be an apprentice knight, and you a rural noble become a Royal Knight?」

Bram was frustrated and looked funny when Eric - who turned into a Royal Knight- said that to him self-importantly.

Good, I hope Eric continues to fan the flames like that and Bram’s accumulated hate will be turned toward Eric. Make sure no unjustified words will come my way. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Still with a big smile on his face, while provoking Bram, Eric spins the roulette.

The number that came out is 3. Eric picks up his own piece and calmly advances 3 spaces.

『Practice together with the Royal Palace Guards. You have muscle pains, take a break for one turn』

「Taking a break from muscle pains, are you kidding me!」

For some reason, Eric - who was in a good mood - also got angry at me.

「Eeh? But you will normally get muscle pain after having an intense practice, right? So you won’t be able to move the day after and take a break in your house all day, right?」

「You idiot! Do you think there will be such a spinless knight out there!」

「Yeah! To take a break just from having muscle pains, I won’t tolerate it!」

I thought I was writing the content inside the spaces like that with a perfectly natural and reasonable theory from my perspective, but I received a major backlash from Eric and Bram - who aims to be a Knight.

Tha, that’s stupid. Are all knights who practice an ‘M’, while their whole body is being tortured by pain? I really don’t understand.

No way, don’t tell me that Eleonora-neesan’s crazy theory of practicing every day is correct?

Be that as it may, in this Game of Life what was written on the space are absolute rules. I have not the slightest intention of changing it even if those two complain about it.

「The knight’s route seems fun somehow. I hope something interesting will also happen to my route…..」

So Alicia said while spinning the roulette. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

The number ‘3’ came out.

『Your invention is a big hit! You earn 15 gold coins』

「…………」

「Here you go, 15 gold coins」

「I am happy, but I am just silently accumulating money......」

When I silently handed her the gold coins made using Earth magic, Alicia piled the money while somehow looking bored.

In this Game of Life, she already has the most financial power among us.

But if you ask whether being a merchant is a particularly strong profession, that’s not really the case.

On the space next to her current one is the event where their business fails and ends up in the red, the game also contains a gambling-like element somewhat.

However, Alicia didn’t step on those events even once.

Could it be that she is loved by money?

「Then, I’m next!」

Ra-chan energetically leans forward and spins the roulette.

The roulette spins fast after being spun strongly, and the highest number ‘8’ came out.

「Yay, go all the way!」

While I was looking at Ra-chan moving her piece forward in one go, I realized that she stopped at an absurd space.

「Un? Marriage Space? Al, what is this?」

Seriously? Of all the people here, Ra-chan is the one who stopped at that space? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「It’s called ‘Marriage Space’, it’s a space that forces you to marry the opposite gender in this game」

「Forced marriage you say!?」

Instead of Ra-chan, it was Eric who was listening to the side that was shouting in excitement.

I know who you’re aiming to marry, calm down.

「Ehー! I, I’m going to marry!? With who!?」

Ra-chan couldn’t hide her shock since she was going to marry despite still being four years old.

Maybe it’s because she is a very young girl, she looked to be very interested in the concept of marriage.

「You spin the roulette one more time, and then find your partner that corresponds to that number. In this case, number 1-2 is me. Number 3-4 is Bram-sama. Number 5-6 is Eric. Number 7 will get you to spin once more. Number 8 is avoiding the marriage, like that」

「Being with Al is good, so 1 and 2」

Ra-chan gives an immediate reply while smiling so innocently.

There was probably not the slightest trace of romantic interest in what she said, but it feels very nice for a small kid to become attached to you.

I’m sure I would probably be able to spend my days happily if I got an innocent and cute wife like Ra-chan in the future. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

As I was staring at the roulette while having such a thought, the roulette stopped at number 1.

「Waーi! I’m marrying Al!」

「R, right. We got married」

Ra-chan clings to my arm and reveals her joy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

When I thought about my mental age from my previous life, I’m already someone in my 30s, so marrying a four-year-old little girl seems like a crime.

「……marrying a little girl, huh」

「Stop it, don’t say it like that!」

For some reason, I can clearly hear Eric muttering that next to me.

Being married to a little girl like this makes me oversensitive.

「Al, you don’t like marrying me?」

Ra-chan looks up at me looking anxious while grabbing my left arm.

There are tears forming in those big and cute eyes of hers, even now she looks like she’s going to cry.

「There’s no way that’s true! I’m happy to be able to marry Ra-chan!」

「That’s great! Ehehehe!」

And when I clearly showed her how happy I was, Ra-chan happily smiled at me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

Looking at that, her maid - Loretta - is looking at us with a complicated expression on her face.

It’s fine, this is the Game of Life, it’s just a game.

So, there’s nothing to feel guilty about. I told myself that inside. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
