Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"One hundred billion? Or two hundred billion? In comparison, a twenty million yen bet shouldn't be a big deal to you."

"But why do you look so frightened?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's words seemed to have some kind of strange magical power that went straight to the heart and whipped into the bones, causing Huang Yiyue to get goose bumps all over his body.

"What do you mean."

"Let me give you a piece of advice—"

It was Jabami Yumeko who answered, "When you gamble with your own property, you should be prepared to do so."

Huang Yiyue looked at Jabami Yumeko, and the other's half-closed snake eyes made her feel a wet feeling between her legs.

She was scared.

"Huh? What is she talking about? My family business?"

"Masaka!"

Huang Yiyue's pupils suddenly shrank.

She noticed it?! The special pattern on the back of the playing card?!

Indeed, if it were revealed that the daughter of a toy manufacturer's president had cheated in gambling using playing cards produced by her company, the entire company would be at risk of collapse.

How far have they discovered? Have they noticed the pattern is about to disappear? !

No, I must not let them find out. When they make a mistake, I will turn over all 78 cards in one go, not giving them any chance to breathe, win the game and then collect all the cards.

'When it's my turn...when it's my turn....when it's my turn...'

Huang Yiyue's pupils were shaking violently, and she kept praying in her heart that the two men would stop and give her a chance to take action.

"Mr. Huang, you're saying that it will be your turn soon so that you can take back these special playing cards, right?"

May all your wishes come true.

Hikigaya and Jabami Yumeko finally stopped before turning over the last card.

They reached out to both ends of the table in unison and picked up two poker cards.

The air seemed to freeze, filled with endless silence and darkness. Only Huang Itsuki could see the special pattern on the back of the poker cards held by Jabami Yumeko and Hikigaya Hachiman. The pattern was like the soul of her life and it dissipated like smoke.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Jabami Yumeko stood back to back, like the front and back sides of the god of death.

"This is the last one, the King of Hearts."

Hikigaya Hachiman chanted in a low voice and turned the cards in his hand over mercilessly.

King of Hearts——

At this time, 77 cards have been turned over.

In other words, as long as the last K of hearts is turned over, the gambling game can be officially declared over.

Hikigaya reached his hand to the center of the table and picked up the last poker card between his index and middle fingers.

Huang Yiyue was almost suffocated. As the poker card was picked up into the air by Hikigaya, she felt as if an invisible big hand in the air had strangled her fragile throat. With just a little force, she could be killed effortlessly.

"Shuang-san, you don't want to bear the stigma of cheating and being easily discovered."

At this time, Jabami Yumeko walked silently behind Huang Yiyue with red light in her eyes.

He placed his hands on her shoulders, calming her trembling body a little.

"How about we make another bet, this time betting on all the nails on our bodies~"

"If I lose all my nails, my fingers will bleed as soon as they feel heavy. If I get hurt that badly, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a normal life for the rest of my life!"

"Come on, let's get covered in blood together~ Huang-san!!"

In the empty cafeteria, only Jabami Yumeko's extremely crazy voice was echoing.

"no, do not want."

Dang clang——

Huang Yiyue sat on the ground with a dazed look on his face, staring lifelessly at the card in Hachiman's hand, as if his soul had been taken away.

"I can't do it, I can't do it..."

Her mental barrier has been invaded by a poisonous snake named Yumeko Jabami. Her dignity, her gambling skills, and everything she has were completely devoured by Yumeko Jabami following the failure of this gamble.

Now she is just an empty shell without a soul.

"Huh? How boring."

The enthusiasm in Mengzi's eyes completely faded, and her eyes seemed to have been sucked away by a black hole, becoming cold and dark. It was like a mathematician who had reached the end of the truth and lost interest in everything.

Indifference, contempt...

There is silence here, but it seems to be saying: Another one is ruined.

She lost interest in Itsuki Sumeragi and walked back to Hikigaya Hachiman with a sense of loss, "Hikigaya-kun, you can go now~"

...

"What happened? Why don't you continue?"

The audience on the first floor immediately started arguing. It was obvious that there was only one card left to settle the bet, so why didn't they give up?

Just playing with it.

So they began to shout in dissatisfaction.

In fact, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. What matters is that when someone falls into the abyss, the despair they feel will be devoured by them, who feed on emotions.

In order to better participate in this feast, some people even started off-table gambling, using the outcome of the gambling game itself as a gamble.

In other words, those who bet heavily on Huang Yiyue hoping to make a fortune will disappear into obscurity along with her, while those who bet heavily on Huang Yiyue hoping to make a fortune will become rich overnight.

"Heh, Huang Yiyue lost."

In the corner of the first floor of the restaurant, a woman with a side ponytail quietly stood up and disappeared into the shadow of the restaurant.

She wanted to convey this news to everyone in the student union as soon as possible.

She wanted to remind the god in her heart that a snake had entered the Garden of Eden.

...

Looking at Emperor Itsuki who was kneeling on the ground and sobbing, Hikigaya Hachiman had no intention of showing any mercy.

It just turned back into that lazy, harmless pair of dead fish eyes.

He was playing with the poker card that had been picked up but not turned over in his hand. He squatted down and looked at Huang Yiyue straight in the eye.

"I give in, please forgive me. I give in, please forgive me. I give in, please forgive me..." Huang Yiyue repeated mechanically.

"Hey, Sumeragi-kun, you don't want to be exposed for cheating with your own poker cards and losing the bet, do you?"

"If you can agree to some conditions, I can choose not to make this matter public."

Not public -

Huang Yiyue raised his head anxiously, with the flames of hope burning in his eyes again.

No matter what the cost, he had to do as she said. Otherwise, his family would be destroyed because of this scandal.

"First, I want 100 million yen."

Hikigaya Hachiman calmly put forward his conditions, which was just an appetizer.

"No problem!" Huang Yiyue seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. One hundred million yen was not a difficult matter for her. If she could settle the matter with just this little money, it would be a great deal.

Her eyes never left the poker card in Hikigaya Hachiman's hand, and her whole heart and soul were focused on it.

"Secondly, I want your family to provide sales channels for your department stores, promote my products, and distribute the profits as usual."

this...

Huang Yiyue showed a hint of hesitation. She mustered up the courage to ask tentatively, "Can I ask what it is?"

"Don't worry, it's not a prohibited item. I can't tell you what it is right now, but I'll have someone contact you later."

"how."

"Okay, I agree!"

As the heir of Japan's top toy manufacturer, Huang Yiyue showed her courage. Compared with a complete collapse, giving up some of the profits is undoubtedly the most correct decision. Even if Hikigaya wants to sell the clothes, Huang Yiyue will bite the bullet and accept it.

"I'll have someone draft a contract. As for the 100 million yen, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Huang Yiyue asked in a trembling voice: "Then... what is in Hikigaya's hand..."

"It's a very wise decision, Sumeragi-kun." Hikigaya Hachiman smiled slightly and slowly turned over the playing cards in his hand in front of Sumeragi Itsuki.

"How could it be..." Huang Yiyue's pupils shrank suddenly, "King of Spades..."

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the man who had stood up with his hands in his pockets. She couldn't accept such an ending. Her dignity was once again crushed. This guy not only remembered the position of all the playing cards, but also deliberately turned over a wrong playing card at the end to play psychological warfare with her. It was really...

What a bully!

Thinking of this, Huang Yiyue couldn't help but burst into tears out of grievance.

Little pearls fell on her thighs, unable to rise again.

If she was a little crazier, as crazy as Jabami-san, and accepted her proposal and fought to the end, she would be the winner.

"I'm sorry, Sumeragi-kun."

"There are no ifs in this world."

"If you were a true gambler, you might have a chance to turn the tables. Unfortunately, you have neither gambling skills nor madness, so you can only rely on your ridiculous tricks..."

"Next time you want someone else's nails, think about the consequences."

"Let's go, Jabba."

The Spade King, symbolizing failure and humiliation, fell from the sky and lay quietly on the ground, wet by Huang Yiyue's tears.

Hikigaya stretched lazily and walked in front with his hands in his pockets, while Jabami Yumeko, carrying a delicate little leather bag, walked obediently behind Hikigaya Hachiman.

Along the way, those who had bet heavily on Huang Yiyue cried bitterly. They could not accept such an outcome. If Huang Yiyue had been a little tougher at the end, they would have been the winners.

Heaven and hell are reversed, and livestock and humans are transformed.

The restaurant has become a restaurant of desire.

However, the instigators of all this, Hikigaya Hachiman and Jabami Yumeko, walked back to the classroom with a calm expression and a calm heart.

Jabami Yumeko's elusive voice came from behind: "Hikigaya-kun, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Huh? What?"

"How did you do it? Remember those playing cards without special patterns and turn them over one by one in order from A to K."

“Even I can’t see through this.”

"Well..." Hikigaya Hachiman tilted his head and looked out the window, saying nonchalantly: "Luck? Maybe."

luck?

Jabami Yumeko stopped.

The plump curves of the upper body undulate violently.

"I really want to have a gamble with Hikigaya-san."

19 Hikigaya and Sachiko Juraku

From cloudy to sunny.

The sunlight shines into the student union meeting room, but it cannot dispel the cold atmosphere emanating from the place.

There were eight people sitting on both sides of the simple and elegant long table. Some of them were sitting upright, some were fiddling with their pistols without any scruples, some were wearing traditional kimonos, and some were wearing short skirts with slits down to their panties.

Ten people who stood out from the 3000 students of Private Hundred Flower King and won in various dimensions such as strategy, mind reading, courage, and gambling skills, gathered in the conference room and sat on both sides of the long table.

"In the end, Hikigaya Hachiman drew the King of Spades, but before turning over the cards, Sumeragi Itsuki chose to admit defeat and made a private deal with Hikigaya Hachiman."

"...above."
