Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"Great!"

Hikigaya keenly noticed the relief in Ruridori Nadeshiko's eyes.

In other words, the opponent could not know the exact number of pieces. In the case of the same weight, she could only guess within a certain range, which meant that in this round, the information obtained by the opponent and herself was similar.

36 pieces were also within Hikigaya's consideration, but he just wanted to get more information to get the correct answer in the "6-choice-1" test. Unexpectedly, Ruridori Nadeshiko got ahead of him.

"This round is my failure. If I hesitate, I will lose."

Hikigaya admitted his failure, but at the same time he also caught a very important clue.

Under what circumstances can we only know the approximate number but not the exact number?

That's the weight.

'If she had known from the beginning how much the coin in my hand weighed...it would all make sense.'

'I deliberately put the coins in slowly to give myself time to calculate.'

'Get a rough range and then eliminate extreme cases through sound.'

'If my reasoning is correct...'

Hikigaya Hachiman once again looked at Ruricho's watch and the large piggy bank on the table.

there is only one truth.

169 As long as the money is in place, greed is endless

"Hey, hurry up and give me the money, Hikigaya-kun."

"Chenghui, the total is 6 million yen~"

Ruridori Nadeshiko's voice sounded again, but Hikigaya had no intention of defaulting on the debt. He readily handed his bank card to Kurume and asked her to withdraw 600 million yen from the school's self-service bank.

Only Ruricho and Hikigaya were left in the empty music room.

At this time, Liuliciao Fuzi stood up, stretched lazily, and made a gesture to leave the gambling table.

She made 600 million yen in one go, and she had no intention of gambling anymore.

This is the gambling rule she has always adhered to.

Gambling is just a tool to make money, as long as you make money, you should stop when you are ahead. Fat sheep are not so easy to slaughter, especially Hikigaya Hachiman, who is known for being dangerous.

Liuliciao Nadeshiko has a clear understanding of her gambling. In the first round, she can catch the gambling master off guard by taking advantage of the information gap. It can be said that this is an invincible gambling. But if it continues, there will be a risk of being exposed.

Of course, as long as there is enough benefit, Liuliciao Fuzi is willing to take the risk.

But...it seems unnecessary now.

After earning 600 million yen, she could buy a basic Steinway piano after receiving living expenses from her family. There was no need to take the risk of gambling with Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Are you planning to stop after winning once, Liulidiao-san?"

"I'm so sorry, Hikigaya-san. You don't look like someone worth gambling with, do you?"

"It's a bit too weak~"

Hikigaya Hachiman's face darkened. This was the first time he had met a guy like Ruridori Nadeshiko. He wanted to leave after earning his own money?

"The bank card I just gave to Kurume-san has a full 1 million yen in it." Hikigaya played with the yen coin in his hand and blurted out a number that Ruridori Nadeshiko could not ignore.

as predicted.

As soon as she said this, Liulichou Fuzi abruptly stopped walking towards the piano.

Duo Shao? Two hundred million?!

Her breathing became rapid. This...this amount of money was enough for her to buy a top-of-the-line Steinway piano. This was a figure that could not be ignored at all!

For a moment, the gambling rules she had always adhered to became precarious.

"With 600 million yen, the most that Liuliniao can buy is a second-hand Steinway piano."

"Let's do a simple calculation. If you win 600 million from me, you can get 3600 million yen for one round of all-in, and 2 million yen for two rounds of all-in. This is a risk-free deal~"

Hikigaya's voice was like the devil's whisper, slowly opening the Pandora's box in Ruridori Nadeshiko's heart.

He could omit the consequences of losing and draw out an extremely beautiful vision to lure Liuli Niao into the trap. As for the consequences of her losing...Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly wanted to find a piano teacher for Komachi.

It just so happens that there is a ready-made master here, so there is no need to go through the trouble of looking for an excellent piano teacher.

As for the salary to be paid to Ruridori Nadeshiko, just deduct it from the debt she owes to herself.

As for whether Liuli Bird would take the bait, Hikigaya didn't think she could control her inner desire for money.

"Yes, that's right!"

The innocent Ruridori Nadeshiko fell into the trap just as Hikigaya had expected.

'If I win two rounds, I can earn 200 million yuan and buy the best Steinway piano! Although the entry-level model is enough, it is definitely not as good as the top-level one. Some of its special features may not be worthy of me at this stage, but it is indispensable...'

'But if I lose...'

Ruridori Nadeshiko hesitated. If she lost, she would be finished. If she lost one round, she would have to ask her family for help. If she lost two rounds, even her family would not be able to save her. She would have to become Hikigaya's livestock...

"What should I do?"

In the end, endless greed prevailed and filled Liulichou Fuzi's brain.

'I have to realize that this may be my only chance in life.'

'Win two and you'll have the chance to go to heaven and enjoy the best piano!'

"If I rely on harvesting those small fat sheep, I don't know how long it will take me to earn enough money to buy an entry-level Steinway piano. But today, a super fat sheep is in front of me, and I want to back down? "

"No, never!"

"This is my chance, Ruridori Nadeshiko!"

"Besides, Hikigaya Hachiman, the big fat sheep, doesn't seem to be as powerful as the rumors say. He can't beat me! I am invincible in the world of listening to the rich girl."

Liulichou Nadeshiko was brainwashing herself. Finally, she sat back at the gambling table and licked the corner of her mouth greedily.

The golden pear blossom curls, which were originally full of innocence and nobility, now became enchanting because of the corruption of its owner.

The innocent Rurido Nadeshiko has no idea how terrifying it is to think that she is invincible before gambling. Now, she just wants to drain the blood of the fat sheep in front of her as soon as possible!

"Then it's as you wish, Hikigaya-san~"

"I won't be soft-hearted~"

"I'll take your 200 million yen."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded in disbelief: "Of course, if Ruricho-san can do it."

Soon, Kurume walked into the music room, panting, carrying a safe given by Hyakkao Bank. Six million is really a heavy number.

"Here, the money has been taken out, and there is still..." She wiped the crystal sweat from her forehead and was interrupted by the glass bird before she could finish her words.

"Excuse me, Kurume, could you please take out all the money?"

"Ah, huh?" Kurume was confused. There was still 140 million yen in it. What was he going to do with it?

She subconsciously looked at Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Just do as Liulidiao-san says."

...

"Well, let's get started before Kurume-san comes back."

Liulichou Nadeshiko could no longer restrain her ambitions and took the lead. She reached out and casually grabbed a handful of coins from the big piggy bank. She held up her face with one hand, stared at Hikigaya Hachiman with her deep and charming golden eyes, and threw coins into the bank one by one in front of her.

Putting aside the fact that the two were gambling, Ruricho thought that Hikigaya Hachiman looked quite handsome when he was thinking seriously.

"Then, when I get my new piano, please be my audience~" Ruridori Nadeshiko began to fantasize about her bright future.

"Six million yen, all in~" Ruridori Nadeshiko pushed the money she had just taken forward and looked at Hikigaya with a dazed look: "Then it's your turn~ Hikigaya-san."

"and."

Hikigaya said nothing more and also grabbed a handful of coins and threw them in.

170 Sisterhood is nothing compared to fun

This time, it was not as coincidental as the first time.

The balance tipped slightly.

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head with pretended regret: "If the scale is tilted like this, there is no way to know how many coins there are. So I give up on reasoning this time."

According to the rules, if you give up the rules, you don't have to pay the bet, which is the most conservative and safest way. It is better than losing half the bet due to a wrong reasoning.

Ruridori Nadeshiko chuckled. Hikigaya's choice seemed reasonable to her, but in this case, he would completely lose the possibility of defeating her.

"What a pity, Hikigaya-san."

"Since you give up on answering, don't blame me~"

Liuli Bird gently lifted the golden hair beside her ear and slowly uttered a cold number: "17 coins, the total of both sides is 17 coins~"

After that, she opened both of their piggy banks and dumped the contents onto the table.

She closed her eyes, and seemed to hear the sound of 3600 million yen bills falling from the sky. It was the taste of complete happiness!

However, she did not notice Hikigaya's look of triumph.

Hikigaya Hachiman let out a long sigh. This time he completely caught the little movement of Liulidiao. At the moment he picked up the coin, Liulidiao Nadeshiko glanced at the lady's watch he was wearing.

Exactly as he expected.

The bottom of the large piggy bank that holds 600 coins is probably equipped with a weight sensor, which transmits the real-time weight in the box to the Liuliniao watch.

Her watch is a watch on the surface, but in fact, it does not display time, but weight!

When the weight of the large piggy bank changes, the numbers displayed on the watch will change in real time.

Afterwards, the number of coins can be roughly analyzed based on the sound of the coins colliding heard by the ears, and combined with the previously changed weight, it is easy to deduce how many coins there are even if the two ends of the scale are not aligned.

"It's really... a very interesting trick."

Hikigaya Hachiman had an amused look on his face. He had seen through everything, but he still cooperated and asked, "That's really interesting. Can you tell me how you did it, Liulidiao-san?"

He pointed to the tilted balance and said, "It's obvious that both ends of the balance have tilted. In this case, there are too many possible numbers of coins. How did you guess it accurately?"

"There is only one possible explanation, Ruridori-san, you're not... cheating, are you?" Hikigaya Hachiman slammed the table and stood up, looking angry and humiliated.

Hikigaya's acting is natural, and he perfectly portrays the image of a gambler who is unwilling to lose the gambling game and wants to save his face.

When you are in doubt, you can never go wrong by suspecting the other party of cheating.

It's like when you meet an expert in the game and suspect that the other person is cheating.

"Hmph..." Ruridiao curled her lips. Hikigaya Hachiman's reaction after losing was very familiar. She had heard this from countless defeated opponents.

Really...nothing new at all!

However, seeing that Hikigaya's appearance was her favorite type, Liulidiao still patiently planned to tease Hikigaya:

"I already told you~Hikigaya-san."

"[Listening to the Weight of a Thousand Gold] is a gamble in which whoever can control the weight and the sound will win."

"The way to judge the number of pieces is not just by the weight shown by the balance of the scale, but the most important thing is the sound."

"Hikigaya-kun, you're not the kind of boring guy who thinks 'If I can't do it, no one else can either'~"

"There are people in this world who have abilities beyond imagination. For example, I, Ruridori Nadeshiko, have something called [Absolute Hearing]."

"For me, the sound of coins falling is very easy to know. As long as you listen carefully and seriously, you can tell how many coins there are by the sound of the collision."

"For me, doing this is as easy as drinking water. Of course, if Hikigaya-san doesn't believe me, I can show you again and again, but in a gambling game."

"It's just that Hikigaya-san's 200 million yen can only support you for one last time~"

What a fascinating speech!

Liuliciao Nadeshiko was intoxicated by her own performance. It was this set of rhetoric that fooled the self-esteem of seniors, juniors and juniors. Seeing them racking their brains to crack her tricks, they could only accept the statement that "a very small number of people have superpowers" with humiliation.
