Golden standard

Yukimi who had already peeked her cards before being handed the the die cleared her throat to make an announcement.

"Everyone according to what my black card says it allows me to protect an other player from an effect so if anyone gets some thing they don't want just let me know and i'll make sure to protect you !"

The declaration invoked a number of different feelings from everyone but Tae was the only one to speak her mind.

"Yuki... I don't think you are supposed to announce your cards like that."

"Huh ? Why not ? The card says it is used to protect an other player so shouldn't you have a say on when i use it ?"

Tae suppressed her urge to facepalm herself.

"Right, only the cards make no sense so they wouldn't know what the change would be, now would they ?"

"Umm sorry..."

Tae's Rebuke made Yuki feel dejected but it wasn't like the sportswoman said any of this out of malice she just spoke out of concern for her friend, as for the brass manner in which she said it that was just her personality so it couldn't be helped

"Tsk don't be sorry, you just wanted to help right nothing wrong about that you just need to think more"

"Uhh right i guess i should roll then."

This time there was no delay as the yellow pawn started to move reaching the same tile as Aiko's piece.

"Oh lucky i got the colour i wanted !" She exclaimed drawing Shioko's attention from her own thoughts.

"I wonder if you'll get a cute voice like me" Said Aiko half expectantly and half teasingly"

And taking this as her cue Yukimi reached for a yellow card.

This time the text read "LOCK" while the picture appeared to be a pile of treasure. Without really understanding what the card was about but fully committed to keep the fun going Yukimi announced she would continue with no hesitation in response a yellow beam of light washed over her, when it cleared Yukimi didn't feel any different but everyone seemed to focusing on her each filled with different emotions Aiko was exited, Tae seemed worried and finally Shioko's made the same kind of eyes idol scouts did when they discovered what they thought was an extraordinarily talent so... Intestest perhaps?

"Wow Yukimi blonde suits you more than than i thought it would." Aiko was the first to break the silence.

"Eh ?" Yikimi took hold of one of her twintails in order to inspect it "Wow it looks so real it's nothing like when i had to use a dye."

"Obviously this is essentially just an illusion it's not like your hair have actually changed colour they look that way, actually don't they use that kind of stuff in your business ?"

Yukimi's eyes opened wide with realisation at Aiko's words, it wasn't something she had experienced herself being just a small name idol but knew they used such effects on big concerts to make it seem like the idols had different coloured hair, apear like they had changed clothes mid performance or even apear in different sizes, this though filled her with newfound excitement for the game and gratitude for Kichiro who had arranged all this.

"Yes i didn't realise until just now but you are absolutely right !"

Tae was still a bit worried but seeing her best friend this happy she couldn't bring herself to rain on her parade.

"Ok ok you two just calm down and hand me dice will you."
