Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"Really~ People are people, how could they do something like that~"

"Only a fool would believe such an outrageous thing!"

"Tsk - is that really the case?" Hikigaya suppressed the laughter in his heart, pouted his lips helplessly, and sat back in his chair in annoyance.

It seems that until now, the naive Miss Liuli Bird has not figured out the identities of the hunter and the prey.

Who is the hunter and who is the prey?

"So, do you want to continue gambling, Hikigaya-san? You've already lost 3600 million~"

"After knowing that I have [Absolute Hearing], do you still have the courage to gamble with me?"

Liuliciao Nadeshiko did not completely lose her mind. This was the last line of defense she set for herself. If the other party gave up in the face of difficulties, the gamble would be over, and she would have stopped while she was ahead.

But if the other party is a complete gambler, then Liulichou Fuzi can only stand there with tears in her eyes and earn the money.

"Then, your choice will be—"

"Oh, Koume Koume, I'm late." Kurume dragged a few heavy safes into the music room, slumped down on the sofa without any ladylike image, and unzipped her collar, letting her white hair be exposed to the air to cool down.

After a long pause, she continued to drag the safe closer to the gambling table and stood behind Hikigaya Hachiman.

"I have already taken out all the money according to your orders."

"Thank you for your hard work, Kurume-san." Hikigaya Hachiman felt the touch of a coin falling on the palm of his hand and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

There was one thing he lied about. The amount in the bank card was not 2 million yen, but 2 million yen.

And what fell into his palm was a 7 yen coin weighing 500 grams.

"As expected, there is no normal person in Hyakkaou Academy."

'People are constantly working hard for their crazy desires for gambling, pleasure, and pleasure.'

'And Kurume is a woman who longs for fun, a woman of the same type as Huang Quanyue. The fake sisterhood between her and Liuliniao is vulnerable to the desire for fun.'

"Nadeshiko, I advise you to quit while you're ahead~" Kurume smiled gently. Perhaps this was the last kindness of sisterhood.

The crazy gambling completely devoured the sisterhood in the heart of this bystander.

Crazy gambling, betrayal, and crazy fun!

171 Weight deceives you

"Huh? Kurume, you should be trying to persuade Hikigaya-san, right?"

"Now all gambling decisions are in his hands!"

"He lost badly in the second round of gambling just now~"

Seeing her good sister still looking innocent, Kurume didn't say anything more. Although she didn't know what effect the extra 500 yen coin would have, she still instinctively felt that it was dangerous.

Perhaps, your good sister will fall into an abyss of no return because of this small 500 yen coin.

But--

Kurume's eyebrows suddenly bulged upwards, and the corners of his mouth stretched out to both sides in an exaggerated arc, as if an exquisite human skin mask was worn on his face.

She was looking forward to this kind of fun. Pushing her best sister to hell with her own hands, this kind of great psychological stimulation was exactly the fun she had been pursuing!

"hehe--"

"Since Liuliniao-san thinks this way, there is no reason for me to back down. I'll just go all in with the remaining money!"

"If you win, you'll get all of my 200 million yen. If you lose, you'll fall into the abyss!"

If Liulidiao came to her senses and stopped, Hikigaya would have no choice but to smile bitterly and take out the small video that Miss Yoel had taken to threaten her to continue gambling. But in that case, Hikigaya would still look up to her.

Now...Ruridiao has become a poor man consumed by the desire for gambling.

"Then let Hikigaya-san take the first move in the final round~"

"Ruri-dori, you said you can tell the weight from the sound, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"How about adding an extra bet? If the next scale is even, I will give you an extra 1 million yen as payment for letting me witness super powers. How about that?"

"can!"

Liuliciao Fuzi agreed without hesitation. This was completely extra income for her, so she would not refuse it. For her, it was just a glance at the watch.

The moment when Hikigaya Hachiman took out the coin.

Liulidiao glanced at her watch inconspicuously. Hikigaya Hachiman took away 37 grams of weight and listened to the sound of coins falling. Excluding the extreme number of coins, the total number was -

That’s right! 13 6 yen coins and 50 7 yen coins. Haha, I’ve completely seen through Hikigaya Hachiman.

She opened her eyes again, took out the same number of coins without hesitation and threw them in. With the witness of the three people, the scales slowly became balanced.

"Hikigaya-san, the balance is now balanced. I have seen through you completely. The total number of coins between the two of us is 26." A bright smile broke out on Ruridori Nadeshiko's face. It was more than million yen. She had never had so much money in her life.

Even if you buy the top-of-the-line Steinway piano, you will still have some money left over. How should you spend it?

Well...I'll treat Kurume to a nice meal and give her a gift. After all, it's all thanks to her for bringing me such a big fat sheep.

At this moment, Hikigaya's voice interrupted her reverie.

"hehe--"

"It seems like Liulidiao-san is a little too happy too early." Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and slowly uttered a number: "23."

The smile on Ruridori Nadeshiko's face froze. Why did Hikigaya Hachiman put on such a confident smile? !

It is clear that the number of pieces is definitely 26.

Liuliu Bird subconsciously thought that he had counted wrong and looked down at his watch. The weight shown on it was the same as before.

"That is to say, either Hikigaya Hachiman is just bluffing, or he is an idiot who doesn't even realize his death is imminent." Ruridori Nadeshiko comforted herself.

"It seems that Hikigaya-san doesn't believe it. How about we open the piggy bank and confirm it now?"

"You think the number of coins we both put in is 13, including 6 50 yen coins and 7 1 yen coins, right?"

"So what?"

Liuliciao Fuzi's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness in her heart reached its peak.

How could this happen? His calculations were completely seen through by Hikigaya Hachiman, but why did he still say 23 coins under such circumstances?

"Actually, I also have superpowers. My superpower is [mind reading]~"

"Don't be ridiculous! How can there be such a thing?" Ruridori Nadeshiko shouted sternly, "Kurume, open the piggy bank and check it now!"

Because of the nervousness in her heart, Liuli Bird subconsciously used an imperative tone to her good sister. When she reacted, she only felt a sense of guilt, but now she couldn't care less.

If she loses, she will be burdened with a huge debt of 2 million yen! That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

In an instant, the gambler's unique feeling of regret, like a landslide and tsunami, hit Liuli Bird's heart.

Dang clang——

Coins were poured onto the table one by one. Liuli Bird's heart was in his throat, and he kept praying that more coins would pour out.

'20, 21, 22, 23...'

But no matter how much she hoped, the coin would not come out. When she counted to 23 coins, the piggy bank could not pour out any more coins.

"No, impossible! How could this be possible!" She snatched the piggy bank from Kurume's hand in disbelief and found that it was indeed empty.

The total of their coins was exactly as Hikigaya had deduced.

23 pieces!

She slumped in her chair in panic, the sound of Hikigaya's reasoning seeming to echo in her ears, but she no longer had the time to pay attention to it.

Why is this happening? Why are there 26 coins instead of 23? The missing weight is exactly the same as what is recorded on my watch!

Suddenly, she found that there seemed to be a coin in the pile of coins that was particularly eye-catching.

That is?

She subconsciously raised her hand and picked up the coin. After seeing the mark on it, her pupils shrank suddenly.

"500 yen coin?!"

“Why…?!”

"Did you find it, Ruridori Nadeshiko?" Hikigaya had stood up and walked around behind Ruridori Nadeshiko without him noticing. His voice, which seemed to appear out of nowhere, rang out from behind Ruridori: "You said it before, the two most important factors for [Hearing the Price of a Thousand Gold] are weight and sound."

"Your weight deceives you."

Hikigaya Hachiman reached out his hand, took her wrist and lifted it up in a very gentlemanly manner, looking at the [1426] displayed on her watch, which was the total weight of the coins in the large storage box.

"Look at you, are you trusting weight too much?"

"Because I trusted the weight too much, I ignored the sound. If you paid more attention, you might be able to hear that the sound of me dropping the coins into the piggy bank was a little less~"

"Let me give you a hint."

“一枚500円的硬币是7克，相当于1枚50円硬币加上3枚1円硬币~”

As he spoke, Hikigaya opened his hands and slowly dropped the four coins he had been holding onto the table.

172 Hikigaya Komachi, who is far away, feels the malice

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hands and gently pressed them on Ruridori Nadeshiko's trembling shoulders.

Liulichou Nadeshiko was completely in despair at this point, but she still had one thing in mind: "Why do you have a 500 yen coin? Few people would carry coins with them nowadays, right? Could it be that you had calculated this from the beginning?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? I'm not a god. In fact, I didn't know what kind of gambling I would do before I came to the music room."

"So you always carry coins with you..." Liuli Bird murmured. If she lost the bet like this, she could accept it a little. But if she lost 200 million, she would never have the chance to own a Steinway piano in her life.

If Hikigaya had simply exposed her cheating on the spot, the most he would have done was to lose the 3600 million yen bet for this round, but he used a coin to counterattack her, causing her to lose million yen.

Losing to Hikigaya might be her destiny.

Liuli Bird sat dejectedly on the chair, as if it had accepted the fact that it had been defeated by fate.

"Carrying coins with you? How could I have such an illusion?"

"In fact, the amount in the bank card I gave to Kurumi just now was not 200 million yen, but 200 million and 500 yen, and Kurumi-san just took out the change in the form of coins. If you count it this way, you can say that you carry it with you."

"In the end, it was you, Liuliniao, who gave the order: take them all out. It was your greed that put you on the path to ruin~"

"Kurume?" Liuli Bird looked at her good sister with anger as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Why, why did you take out the coins?! There is no such a small denomination in normal gambling!"

"Hey, hey, hey, it was obviously you who asked me to take it all out! It's all your fault, Nadeshiko!" Kurume put his hands on his hips, looking as if it had nothing to do with it.

But is that really the case? The coin was eventually delivered to Hikigaya through her own hands.

"But it feels really good to send my best friend off on her journey personally~"

"Aren't good sisters meant to create emotional value? Nadeshiko, you must forgive me! In order not to destroy the relationship between us, you should live in self-blame!"

Listening to her good sister's words, Ruridori Nadeshiko folded her arms across her chest, trembling and crying uncontrollably: "Is it Kurume's fault or mine? I can't tell... I really can't tell..."

Hikigaya saw this, but he didn't have any sympathy for her: "Crying won't solve the problem, Liulidiao-san. People have to pay the corresponding price for their desires."

"Then please pay the bet, 200 million yen each~"

"I...I don't have that much money." Ruridori Nadeshiko's face was pale, her hands fell weakly, and she sat in front of Hikigaya like a lamb to be slaughtered.

As a sophomore student, after a year of brutal campus gambling, she knew clearly what the consequences would be if she could not pay back the money she gambled away.

Reduced to a livestock! And because it was a one-on-one bet, she would become Hikigaya Hachiman's personal livestock.

When she thought of the now widely circulated scandals and romantic stories between Hikigaya and the Onotori sisters and the vice president, she became afraid: "No, no, I was wrong, I was really wrong, Hikigaya-san, please forgive me."

"I'll do anything, but I can't do that~"

"Ah?" Hikigaya was stunned for two seconds, and was very confused by the unpredictable nature of Ruridori Nadeshiko's thinking.

"What kind of crap is in this woman's head?"

Hikigaya Hachiman walked straight past her and came to the piano in the music room, pressing the keys irregularly with his fingers.

In fact, because of his long fingers, he was often called a pianist when he was young. However, because he had no talent in music, he stopped wasting money on taking classes.

However, her younger sister Komachi is surprisingly talented in music and has won many awards in elementary school. In a way, this has fulfilled Hachiman Hikigaya's dream of playing the piano.
