The Stand in the Everyday World

While chatting about all sorts of things, Fujii Shunsuke suddenly changed the topic again.

"what is that?"

"An interesting urban legend."

"It does seem interesting that you've brought this up."

Momobami Kirari took out her cell phone and prepared to search.

"I have a patient like this who needs your help, but Qi Luoli, you cannot tell anyone after you know about this, and you cannot conduct related research on adolescent syndrome."

Shunsuke Fujii made a rather unreasonable request.

"Under the circumstances, how high will the stakes be?"

As expected, Momobami Kirari brought the topic back to gambling, showing great interest.

"After all, Junsuke, you are so serious, it feels like there is a lot of benefit involved."

"Indeed, it's a bit unreasonable to ask you not to do research all the time. So let's start from today for a year. Qi Luoli, you can build the research institute first, and then do research a year later."

——Even if I haven’t convinced you in a year, I will definitely have enough points to buy [Made in Heaven]. Then you can serve me wholeheartedly.

ps; Stupid leader, you made me work all night and didn't give me much rest time. Now my body's resistance is reduced and I have to lie down. I still have to ask for leave later, so are you some kind of fickle creature?

ps2: I’m going to bed now. It’s been a long time since I slept before 12 o’clock. I’m inexplicably looking forward to it.

196. Sudden Boss Battle

Shunsuke Fujii thought very unsportsmanlikely and had no intention of fighting Momobami Kirari head-on.

Momobami Kirari was a little surprised that Fujii Shunsuke gave in so quickly, and realized that this might be Fujii Shunsuke's real purpose, but after thinking about it for a moment, she didn't care. No matter how magical this adolescent syndrome was, it was only a year, which was within her bottom line and she could afford to wait.

"No problem, then Shunsuke, what do you need me to do."

Fujii Shunsuke took out his mobile phone to call up Rio Futaba's photo, and then handed the phone to Momoku Kirari: "Rio Futaba, my friend, her puberty syndrome will cause her to separate into multiple different selves. I need Kirari to help you make enough and flawless identification."

“How much is enough?”

"Let's just have ten for the first batch. We're not sure how many there will be in the future."

"Really? This puberty syndrome is really interesting." Momobami Kirari agreed directly, and used Fujii Shunsuke's phone to transfer Futaba Rio's photo to her own phone. "Don't let them go out together today. I will send someone to deliver the relevant identity certificates to your house tomorrow."

"As expected of Kirari, she really makes me feel at ease."

"Don't rush to praise me. Although I agree, this is the bet I made."

"As for your bet, since you came to me for this girl, Shunsuke, then the bet will be her. If you lose, she will be mine, and you will have to cooperate with our research from now on."

"Hey, hey, we agreed to wait a year."

"That's after you win, Junsuke. If you lose, then of course there's no point in discussing this."

"That's really too much." Fujii Shunsuke complained, but he didn't seem to care. "But is it really okay to decide the outcome between you and me, Kirari, so roughly?"

Fujii Shunsuke doesn't know how strong Momobami Kirari is. Maybe she is even stronger than Jabami Yumeko. After all, she is obviously the final boss and her parents have died long ago. But even so, Fujii Shunsuke doesn't think he will lose.

If Star Platinum were to lose in gambling, he might as well just commit suicide.

What he was dissatisfied with now was that although it was a sudden battle with the big boss, there was no sense of ceremony at all.

Momobami Kirari didn't care about this at all. In the original work, her confrontation with Jabami Yumeko was also very sudden.

"If you have no objection, I will come to Tsinghua University right now."

Momobami Kirari said this and pressed a button on the table without waiting for Fujii Shunsuke to answer. Igarashi Qinghua, who was attending class diligently, felt the vibration and immediately stood up and left the classroom.

The other people in the classroom were not surprised, and the teacher didn't even glance at it.

"As for the dealer, let Luna be the one."

As this is a bet between two of the highest-ranking people in Hundred Flower King Academy, only Huang Quanyue Luna is qualified to be the dealer.

"As for the others, Junsuke, do you have any ideas? If you want to invite people to come and observe, then you can add one or two more people."

Fujii Shunsuke thought about it and sent messages to Jabami Yumeko and Huang Itsuki. After receiving the news, these two people came immediately without any further explanation.

As for Saotome Meiari, it would probably require a lot of explanation, but Fujii Shunsuke simply stopped calling her because he thought it was too much trouble.

Soon, everyone arrived and Momobami Kirari roughly explained the situation.

"That's awesome, Gou Xiu Jin Sama, thank you for letting me watch such a great gamble in person!"

Snake Yumeko's face was flushed and she was panting heavily, but whether it was Fujii Shunsuke or Momokiki Ruri, they were both people she thought were "great". Although she couldn't participate in the game in person, even just looking at it would make her a master.

"Haha, I didn't expect you two to face off so soon. The student council members haven't finished challenging them yet." Huang Quanyue Luna laughed loudly after hearing this. She was very moved and excited. Then she looked at Huang Yiyue, "Xiao Yiyue, do you have tarot cards with you?"

"Yes, I brought it... Why are you asking me this?"

"Because you need it for gambling. Although we have it here, it's more reassuring to use the props you prepared yourself. Ah, or... Xiao Yiyue, do you want to take this opportunity to stab your master Yiyue in the back and make him lose face?"

"I wouldn't do such a thing! Or maybe it's something you, a one-day slave, would want to do!"

Huang Yiyue argued with a red face and reached into her schoolbag.

"what?"

Huang Quanyue Luna instantly showed an extremely artistic expression, which scared Huang Yiyue so much that he took a step back.

"Children, please stop making this expression all the time. What if your skin becomes loose?"

Shunsuke Fujii suddenly reached out and pinched Yomizuki Luna's face, then lifted it up and made a funny expression.

"But, damn it! I'm not your slave anymore, Shunsuke!"

Huang Quanyue Luna wanted to punch Fujii Shunsuke in the chest with her little fist. After so many days, the female ghost felt that she was able to do it again.

"kindness?"

Fujii Shunchi followed the local customs and used [Star Platinum] to draw expressions on his face, finally revealing a facial expression.

"Alas!"

Yomizuki Luna quickly hid behind Momobami Kirari.

Momobami Kirari touched Yomizuki Luna's head and said calmly: "Shunsuke, don't bully Luna too much."

Fujii Shunsuke shrugged and said nothing.

Huang Yiyue also took out a deck of tarot cards and handed it to Fujii Shunsuke: "Here."

"Itsuki, don't use the rigged tarot cards. Show the other party the normal ones."

Shunsuke Fujii threw the cards in his hand back without even looking at them, and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"what!?"

Huang Yiyue showed a smiling expression.

"obedient."

".......yes."

Huang Yiyue took out a deck of tarot cards that had not been tampered with with an unwilling look on his face, walked up to Momobami Kirari and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Itsuki."

Momobami Kirari said in her usual tone.

But Huang Yiyue, who had been kicked out of the student union, only felt that Momobami Kirari was hateful and did not take him seriously at all.

"No matter whether the result is good or bad, this gamble will bring about a huge change in a person's destiny, so let's use tarot cards to tell fortunes. The name of the game is called Tarot of Destiny."

I don't know if she's a chuunibami or if there's something wrong with her brain, but ever since Shunsuke Fujii first met Momobami Kirari, she has loved talking about topics like fate.

Although it is normal for people who like gambling to like these metaphysical things, and she is also qualified to say so.

After all, whether it is Momobami Kirari or Jabami Yumeko, at least they are favored by fate when it comes to gambling.

ps: My computer is broken. It blue screened seven or eight times while I was writing these two thousand words. It restarted every time I wrote a paragraph. It's unbearable.

ps2: I have recurring fever, so I will only update once. I will try to get better health by New Year's Day and resume updating.

197. Gambling between non-human beings

"Then follow me."

Momobami Kirari led everyone to the next room, where there was a large round table with a non-solid center in the middle of the room.

“There are 22 main cards, each with its own meaning. Each main card has a number from 0 to 21 written on it, which also represents the score of the person who turns it over.

Let three of us each choose a card and turn it over. If the person who turns it over has her card in the upright position, she gets a positive score. If it is in the reversed position, she gets a negative score. Finally, if the sum of the numbers on the three cards is positive, then Junjie wins. If it is negative, then I win."

On this hollow round table, you can choose to flip the cards outside the round table or inside the round table. The positive and negative positions of the Tarot cards are determined by the position of the person flipping the cards at that time.

Shunsuke Fujii was very curious whether Momobami Kirari would come to the center of the circle to flip the cards. If so, would she crawl under the table or hold up her skirt and flip them over.

Anyway, in the animation, she came in in an instant.

So Shunsuke Fujii was very curious about the details.

"But there's a special card in here." Momobami Kirari pulled out one of the tarot cards and turned it face-up towards Shunsuke Fujii, "The Fool. The number on this card is 0, so treat it as the Joker. It has nothing to do with the other cards. If the Fool is turned over and appears in the upright position, Shunsuke wins. If it's reversed, I win."

Bringing the Fool card to her mouth, Momobami Kirari gently pressed her lips on the back of the card without anyone noticing. She continued, "A card of fate that can reverse the outcome with just one card. This means there is always a chance of a comeback. Isn't it interesting?"

"Smash Varudo!"

Shunsuke Fujii deliberately stopped to watch it, just to see the truth that was not answered in the original work, although he already knew the result.

"As expected, there was no smuggling. The Fool Card itself was the one that left the mark."

After getting the expected answer, Shunsuke Fujii just wanted to say that he knew how to have fun. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of these gambling maniacs who enjoyed taking risks.

If you do this, no matter how the first two of you choose your cards, when the third person turns over the cards, you have a 50% chance of losing. What's the point of this?

Putting the Fool Card back to its original state, Shunsuke Fujii allowed time to flow again.

Momobami Kirari continued without noticing, "Tarot cards can be used to predict time. The three cards we chose are the past, present, and future. It's up to you, Shunsuke, to choose the present, and I'll choose the past. As for the future—"

"How could it be! You, the President, actually chose him..."

The secretary was as servile as ever today.

Then he was suppressed by Momobami Kirari's expressionless face.

But Fujii Shunsuke also expressed dissatisfaction: "If you, Kirari, draw first, then I will definitely lose, right?"

"Kirari!!!???"

Without waiting for Momobami Kirari to answer, whether it was Yomizuki Luna, Huang Itsuki, or even Igarashi Seika who went to the party, the three of them widened their eyes and shouted at the same time.

"How dare you! How dare you address the president like that!"

"Am I, am I dreaming? Yes, I must be dreaming. How could anyone dare to call the president's name? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"This world...what happened during the time I wasn't in school?"

The three of them held their heads in disbelief, only Jabami Yumeko was still watching with a smile. They were not on the same level.

"Why do you have such an idea, Junsuke?" Momobami Kirari glanced at the others and ignored them.

"Because if you, Kirari, had drawn the Reversed Fool at the beginning, wouldn't it have immediately declared the game over?"

"Of course, given your risk-loving personality, Kirari, it's unlikely that you would do that, but after all, it's a gamble with Rio's life, so I have to be careful."

"Haha, I didn't expect you, Shunsuke, to trust me so much." Momobami Kirari smiled, "But you misunderstood. The first card to be drawn is not the past, but the present. This means that I have no chance to draw the reversed Fool at the beginning."

"Wouldn't you be unhappy if that happened, Kirari? I also let you draw the Fool at the beginning and end the game right away. You wouldn't be able to enjoy such a boring game at all, would you?"

"Ah, Shunsuke, you actually think so much of me. I'm so happy." Momobami Kirari covered her mouth with her index finger and chuckled, "Indeed, it seems that I left a loophole in the formulation of the rules. It was too careless."

——How imprecise is this!

——Why do both of you look like you can draw the Fool card if you want?

The few normal people present said they were a little shocked by Sakurajima.

"Now let's add a new rule. When we both draw cards, neither of us can draw the Fool card. Otherwise, no matter if it's upright or reversed, that person will be declared the loser."

"That's fine for me, so who will be the one to draw in the future?"
