Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"If I were Saotome, I would give UUU, the easiest-to-control card type, to Sado-san. In order to win, Sado-san would definitely replace Togakushi-san's card type accordingly. Then, the outcome would be entirely in my hands. Saotome could use water to control her own card type at any time."

"Saotome's gyaru style meant that she would always carry nail polish remover with her. In order to suppress her fear of failure, she would use a thermos to hold water. When people are nervous, they will choose to drink water to calm their nerves. These are all reasonable things."

"It may be a coincidence, but it happens that these coincidences constitute a winning formula that belongs only to her."

"I won this bet, Senior Jule."

28 Hikigaya Hachiman's Enemy

"You are cheating, you bastard!!!" Zuo Du Mei Jiuliang roared in a low voice, and the chain around her neck made a harsh sound because of her large movements.

It seemed that he was about to start a verbal battle with Meiari Saotome.

clap clap-

The sudden applause echoed in the library.

Sachiko Juraku looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with appreciation, clapped her hands softly, and walked in front of Meiari Saotome.

"No one said to write with a black pen. Although I used nail polish remover, Saotome definitely wrote DDU."

"Saotome Meiari did a great job and won back her life."

He reached out his hands and stroked the collar on Saotome Meiari's neck, "Are you really unwilling to be my personal pet?"

"I'm sorry, Juraku-senpai, I prefer being a human than being someone's pet." Saotome Meiari untied her collar inconspicuously and stuffed it back into Juraku Sachiko's hands.

Jule Xingzi did not try to persuade them to stay. She turned around and looked at the other two people who were falling into the abyss.

"Then according to the bet, Togakushi Yukimi, you mortgaged your life plan to the student council. Now I give you a chance to redeem yourself. Wear this collar."

Jule Xingzi sneered and raised the collar in her hand. The high-grade red leather material looked so dazzling at this moment.

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman watched this scene in silence.

People are like this. Only when they try their best to overwhelm the other party can they be called human beings. If they are overwhelmed by the other party, they become "invasion", plundered and invaded, and they don't even have the qualifications to be human beings.

He put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave the second library. He stood in the corridor admiring the sunset, with no interest in the emotional struggles and self-salvation in the room.

Hikigaya did not leave immediately. He had a hunch that the news that Sachiko Jura brought him would affect his next plans.

Just like six years ago, Sachiko Juraku influenced the trajectory of his life.

"Look, I'm still not strong enough..."

If one's life is influenced by others, then he is not a perfect person in terms of his willpower or execution.

Hikigaya Hachiman fell into deep thought...

Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, the three girls walked out of the library one after another.

A fully stuffed briefcase was stuffed into Saotome's hand, and the first thing she did when she came out was to put the briefcase into Hikigaya Hachiman's hand.

"I owe you 10 million yen. Now we are even."

Hikigaya Hachiman weighed the money in his hand and knew that the amount inside was definitely more than 10 million yen. Looking at the back of Saotome Meiari leaving, he felt a little funny for a moment.

"You've just fallen into the abyss, but you don't treat money as money..."

'That's good. I can buy an extra lunch box when I go to the supermarket tonight.'

He then looked at Sachiko Juraku and the two girls wearing collars behind her. Needless to say, he knew that Togakushi Yukimi had finally chosen to surrender.

Hikigaya Hachiman yawned, his eyes were lazy and lifeless, and the hair on his head was twitching: "Then it's your turn to fulfill the bet, Juraku-senpai."

Jule Sachiko crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against her southern hemisphere, and brought Hikigaya Hachiman to the edge of the window sill and stood there. She asked meaningfully, "Hikigaya, do you still remember the person who bullied you six years ago?"

"Ah, I forgot about it." Hikigaya Hachiman clenched his fist and subconsciously put his thumb on his index finger and pressed it down.

"You lied." Sachiko Jura turned around and pointed her index finger at Hachiman Hikigaya's forehead: "You only make this gesture when you lie. Just like six years ago, when I asked you if you were willing to be my dog, you also made this gesture~"

"If someone with ulterior motives discovers this secret, you will be swallowed up by the student union sooner or later."

Hikigaya Hachiman touched his nose awkwardly: "...Ah, is that so."

This is indeed his fatal weakness. He can see through other people's disguises, but he cannot perfectly disguise himself.

In the bet with Saotome, he was so full of energy that he almost played his cards straight to the other party, but Saotome was too arrogant and lost the bet. In the triple nervous breakdown with Emperor Itsuki, he was worried that Emperor Itsuki would see that he was sure to win, so he chose to pretend that he couldn't remember the cards and handed the stage to Jabami Yumeko.

Therefore, when it comes to gambling, Hikigaya Hachiman still has a long way to go.

"Okay, I can't forget them. I will not leave any of them alive and send them all to hell." Hikigaya Hachiman said the cruelest fact in a light tone.

He didn't lie. Since meeting Sachiko Juraku that day, he had neither lost nor won.

He just maintained a strange balance with the group of people who bullied him, until they disappeared after graduation. The huge rock that was pressing on him disappeared, and Hikigaya Hachiman finally got a brief relief.

But Hikigaya is a man who is even better than the sky, so how could he let go of these former enemies?

Whether in the past, present, or future, Hikigaya will kill all his enemies.

He said casually: "I remember that those guys had good family conditions... Could it be that Senior Ju Le was going to tell me that they were also in Baihuawang Academy?"

"It's not accurate to say they are just one of them—"

"Mibumi Aoi."

"He..."

Hikigaya Hachiman narrowed his eyes slightly, this was the prey he had been dreaming of day and night, the evil leader who led the bullying.

"How is he doing now?"

"Very good. He is now the accountant of the student council, but interestingly, he founded the Zensaki Society..."

"what is that."

Sachiko Juraku said cheerfully, "He is committed to overthrowing the livestock system established by President Momobaku. He secretly wins people's hearts and helps students who are about to become livestock or have already become livestock. He has a surprisingly good reputation among grassroots students. Moreover, he is very good at gambling. So far, I have never seen him lose a bet. He is a person who is on par with President Momobaku."

After hearing this, Hikigaya was silent for a while, then grabbed his hair and looked back.

Just when Sachiko Juraku thought that Hikigaya was upset and was about to comfort him.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"I like the system of this academy more and more."

For the first time, Hikigaya's eyes flashed with the same madness as Jabami Yumeko's.

Everything seems to have returned to six years ago. As the bully, Aoi Mibui is a sunny and cheerful boy in the eyes of others, a hero, and the embodiment of justice. If you resist him, Hikigaya Hachiman, as the only bullied, will undoubtedly be the opposite evil and an existence that is hostile to the world.

“It’s the same now…”

"Helping the livestock that have fallen to the bottom of society to satisfy some perverted desire in his heart? It seems that he has once again stood on the side of justice."

"Senior Ju Le, a fellow like this is not worthy of being called a human being."

As the sun sets, Hikigaya's shadow becomes longer, until it covers the entire corridor and merges with the shadows in the dead corners where the sun doesn't reach.

Jule Sachiko looked at Hikigaya, looked at his shadow, and smiled sweetly:

"Yes."

29 Hikigaya Challenge Research Meeting

What does it feel like to know that past nightmares are right next to you?

Fear? Confusion?

No, Hikigaya only felt unprecedented relaxation and pleasure. He liked the system of the private Hyakkaou Academy more and more, and his favorability towards the student council president Momobami Kirari also increased rapidly.

Even the miser Hikigaya, who had never met Momobami Kirari, decided to secretly do her a favor.

Such a perfect gambling and livestock system dragged Mibumi Omi Aoi, the embodiment of justice who was high above, into the quagmire and put him on the same level as himself, a low-level character.

"I'm looking forward to seeing your expression again..."

Hikigaya packed his schoolbag expressionlessly and glanced at Jabami Yumeko's seat with some confusion.

The two of them had been going to the bus station together to go home these past few days. Today, I suddenly lost my companionship, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Maybe someone in the hospital needs her care," Hikigaya Hachiman guessed.

He had to hurry back as the weather forecast said there would be heavy rain in the evening.

At this moment, there was a hurried jogging sound coming from outside the corridor. It was a frequency that I had never heard of before, and it was obviously coming towards the classroom of the first-year Chinese group.

'Who is it? At this time after school.'

Hikigaya looked towards the classroom door in confusion.

Huang Yiyue opened the sliding door, panting, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and when he saw Hikigaya Hachiman in the class, he shouted anxiously:

"Hikigaya-san, something bad has happened. Jabami-san lost a bet to Yuriko Nishidouin from the Traditional Culture Research Society!"

Hikigaya Hachiman's pupils shrank, his lazy dead fish eyes froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

"what happened?"

Although he warned himself not to get too involved with women, fame, money, power, sex, sex is the last, women can only be a burden that hinders his success. But after so many days together, even if it is a cat, you can develop feelings.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

And Yumeko Jabami is his only companion in this academy besides Juraku-senpai.

Hearing that Jabami Yumeko was in trouble, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but feel touched.

"After you leave this afternoon, I have something to tell you. When I arrived at the first year of the Hua Group, I saw Jabami-san being taken to the traditional culture study group by Nishidouin-senpai."

"B-Then, when I finished class and went over to see Jabami-san, he had already lost to Nishidouin-san."

Huang Yiyue spoke very quickly, telling Hikigaya Hachiman everything he had seen.

It was in the afternoon when she officially received the "Resolution on the Dismissal of Emperor Itsuki" handed to her personally by Mameuda Kaede that she finally made up her mind to stand on the same front with Hikigaya Hachiman and Jabami Yumeko.

"Take me there now."

Hikigaya ordered calmly. He came to Jabami Yumeko's table, looked down, and found that she had not taken her water cup away, so he took it in his hand.

Decided to help Jabami Yumeko solve her troubles before going to the station with her.

...

"He who comes is stopped."

When they arrived at the gate of the Traditional Culture Research Society, two girls with mixed cat tags stretched out their hands and blocked the way of Hikigaya and Sumeragi Itsuki with expressionless faces.

"Move aside. Since this is an open bet, all students of Hyakkaou Academy have the right to watch the game!"

Huang Yiyue tried to break through the barrier in dissatisfaction, but the two stray cats remained unmoved.

"If you just want to watch the game, the monitor at the door will broadcast the gambling situation in the room in real time."

"I see. Then please help me pass this thermos cup to Jabami Yumeko. That should be fine, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman handed over the thermos cup.

The two cats looked at each other, seeing the hesitation in each other's eyes. They seemed to be recalling the instructions given to them by Nishidouin, which did not seem to include a ban on passing items, but only required that all people related to Jabami Yumeko be kept out.

Then he nodded, opened the door a crack, and one of them walked in with a thermos cup.

After doing all this, Hikigaya Hachiman focused on the display on the wall outside the house, which recorded all the gambling games that Jabami Yumeko had participated in since her arrival. The betting choices of both parties and the hand movements of the dealer all fell into Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes.

Suddenly, Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes fixed on the mole-like thing on the dealer's hand. He then subconsciously looked at the two cats guarding the door. They also had the same "moles" on their hands.

The dealer held a pot with a small bottom and a wide mouth. Logically, the sword would most likely hit the middle position from one to fourteen. However, after observing the situation, Hachiman Hikigaya found that most of the bets in Nishidouin were placed after the fifteenth hole, and in every round, the bets were placed on the twenty-fourth hole.

"Jabaku, I'm sure you'll notice what I said."

...

"Oh my, my bet was correct, but unfortunately, it's ruled as death. According to the rules, Jabami-san has to give me 30 times the amount of the bet."

"My condolences, by the way."

Nishidoin Yuriko said this with a smile, but her actions were merciless as she grabbed the chips in front of Yumeko.

Now, Mengzi doesn't have any chips left.

"Jabami-san, do you want to continue? This kind of gambling feels good, right? With just a slight shake in the pot, hundreds of millions of funds will flow. This feeling is wonderful, right? However, small bets are fun, but big bets are harmful to the body. If you don't have money, please do it according to your ability~"
