The Return of the Supreme Beings

Chapter 24 (ReWrite): The Monopoly Showdown

As Yamaiko enthusiastically offered to join the Monopoly game, the tension in the room soared. Punitto Moe was still writhing on the floor in despair after landing on the dreaded Park Place, while Nishikienrai was fuming over his bankruptcy thanks to the relentless Boardwalk. Touch Me and Herohero, having suffered the same fate, were now spectators to this chaotic Monopoly showdown.

Momonga, always the calm strategist, surveyed the game board with a calculating gaze. He had managed to secure a monopoly on the green properties and had invested heavily in their development. His hotels were strategically placed, ready to extract maximum tolls from anyone unfortunate enough to land on them.

"Sure, Yamaiko, you can join," Momonga said, his voice as composed as ever. "But be warned, this game can be brutal."

Yamaiko eagerly took a seat, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Don't worry, I'm a Monopoly pro!" she declared, cracking her knuckles and preparing herself for the fierce competition ahead.

Punitto Moe, still sprawled on the floor, managed to prop himself up on his elbows. "Someone, please, just end my misery," he groaned, gazing longingly at the colorful Monopoly money scattered across the board.

With Yamaiko's entry into the game, the dynamics shifted. She quickly accumulated properties and developed them into formidable hotel chains, rivaling Momonga's empire. The game turned into a fierce battle of wits and strategy, with everyone trying to outmaneuver each other.

"Double sixes!" Yamaiko exclaimed as she rolled the dice, landing on one of Momonga's hotels. "Looks like I'll be paying you a visit, Mr. Momonga."

Momonga leaned back in his chair, his skeletal fingers steepled. "Very well, Yamaiko. Pay up."

As Yamaiko begrudgingly handed over a substantial amount of Monopoly money, she couldn't help but grumble, "You're too good at this, Momonga."

Meanwhile, Punitto Moe had managed to claw his way back into the game after a fortunate streak of luck. He was now a formidable contender, and his hotels on the dark blue properties were a force to be reckoned with.

Nishikienrai, having rebuilt his fortune after landing on Park Place, began making sly deals with other players, leveraging his position to his advantage.

Herohero, on the other hand, had adopted a more conservative strategy, hoping to stay under the radar and avoid the wrath of the more aggressive players.

The Monopoly game continued for hours, with emotions ranging from exuberance to frustration. The laughter and camaraderie that had initially filled the room gradually transformed into intense rivalry.

At one point, Punitto Moe pulled off a daring trade with Nishikienrai, securing a monopoly on the yellow properties. He then proceeded to build hotels on them, sending shivers down the spines of his opponents.

"Your turn, Momonga," Punitto Moe said with a sinister grin.

Momonga, never one to back down from a challenge, confidently rolled the dice. His piece landed on one of Punitto Moe's hotels.

"Looks like I owe you a visit," Momonga acknowledged.

But just as he was about to pay, Yamaiko chimed in with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Hold on, Momonga. I have a proposition for you."

All eyes turned to Yamaiko as she proposed a deal that could potentially change the course of the game. The room fell silent as her offer hung in the air.

As Momonga considered the offer, he couldn't help but think that this Monopoly game had turned out to be far more engaging and intense than he had initially expected. It was a welcome diversion from the weighty matters of the guild's impending battle with the lizardmen and the mysteries of the world they found themselves in.

With the fate of their Monopoly fortunes hanging in the balance, the Supreme Beings continued to play, their competitive spirits ablaze. The Monopoly showdown had become a battle of strategy, negotiation, and sheer determination, and none of them were willing to back down without a fight.
