Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

Nishidouin put on a fake smile.

Do what you can? Based on her investigation of Jabami Yumeko, this woman would hardly refuse other people's gambling. This kind of reckless gambling girl is the type that is most likely to fall into the abyss.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Jabami Yumeko opened the purse she was carrying and shook out all the money inside.

Jabami Yumeko tilted her head, showing a gentle smile, and tilted her palm slightly towards the stacks of banknotes: "Here is 4000 million yen, exchange it all into chips, a total of 40 chips."

Haha, I took the bait.

A bone-chilling chill was revealed in Nishidoin's narrowed eyes. Once she set her sights on a prey, there was no chance for her to stop in time.

"Master Nishidoin..."

The sound of the cat attracted the attention of both of them.

She held the checked thermos and confirmed that there were no cheating tools inside, then came to Jabami Yumeko.

"Someone outside the house asked me to give this thermos to Lord Jabami. Upon inspection, it only contains hot water."

Nishidouin nodded, realizing that the person outside the house was most likely Hikigaya Hachiman, whom Sachiko Juraku was dealing with.

She frowned, realizing something was amiss: "Did Juraku fail? Why is this Hikigaya Hachiman still in the mood to deliver water?"

"It's really embarrassing for the student council. Well, let me go and eat Jabami Yumeko myself first. Then I can use her as bait to lure Hikigaya Hachiman into the game."

"I will take care of these two first-year students today."

She turned her head to look at Jabami Yumeko, her expression frozen and she broke out in a cold sweat.

30 The Madness of Jabami Yumeko

Jabami Yumeko looked towards the gate with a flushed face:

"Hikigaya-kun, have you won the bet? Then I can't fall behind."

“Hehehahahaha——”

Jabami Yumeko's eyes were full of madness. She suddenly grabbed the fullness on her left breast with one hand and rubbed it slowly. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Nishidoin Yuriko, and her sweet saliva kept dripping down.

"Nishidouin-san, you are really terrible."

"What did you say?!" The dealer's expression changed, and he looked at Jabami Yumeko in shock and anger, and whispered to her, "Jabami Yumeko, you are so rude! Doing such a vulgar thing is simply an insult to our Traditional Culture Research Association!"

"Master Nishitoin, I suggest that Jabami Yumeko be expelled from the research group!"

Nishidouin waved his hand to stop the croupier's proposal. In his heart, he secretly despised Jabami Yumeko as a dissolute woman. He frowned and said, "I'm sorry, what did you say just now?"

"I just said, you are really terrible!"

"Giving the weak a little hope and then driving them into deeper despair, setting traps step by step, luring me to bet everything...it's no different from an underground bank." Jabami Yumeko's breathing became more rapid, her plump and slender legs unconsciously clamped together, her fingers sinking deep into the softness.

"I don't know how good your gambling skills are, but your character as a human being is definitely the worst!"

"...It's just like dirt~"

...

"Has Jabami-san gone mad? Why is he provoking Nishidouin-senpai like this?"

Huang Yiyue swallowed his saliva with a look of fear. Even though there wouldn't be any violent conflict, but wouldn't it be impossible to ease the situation if he just pointed at someone's nose and scolded them?

This is simply exposing the imbalance of his mentality nakedly in front of Senior Nishidoin. If he does this... he will definitely be swallowed up without reservation!

"Hikigaya-san, aren't you panicking at all?"

"Do not."

Hikigaya crossed his arms and shook his head calmly: "Jabami has already discovered the clues. What she is doing now is just dragging Nishidouin into the abyss."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Huang Yiyue was a little dumbfounded. What was Hikigaya talking to her?

Clues? Abyss? Clearly, what they were watching was the same live broadcast. Did it reveal any information? Huang Yiyue stared at the screen and watched again, unconvinced.

"It's normal that you can't find it."

Hikigaya said calmly, "It was only until now, after I personally watched all the gambling games between her and Yumeko, that I understood why it was called a gambling game that could not be cheated."

"The wonderful way of cheating in Nishidoin is that... there is no guarantee of victory. The dealer needs to have good control over the sword with the hand holding the pot to drop it into the target hole. And there is also the possibility that another sword will block the hole. The most important thing is that you can only control one sword, and the rest depends entirely on luck."

"In fact—"

...

“The actual winning rate probably won’t look very good.”

Jabami Yumeko inside the house and Hikigaya Noriyuki outside the house spoke almost in unison.

After the dealer throws the sword into the pot, Nishidoin distributes the chips evenly among the options.

Mengzi stopped moving her hands, and the madness in her eyes disappeared completely, leaving only a frighteningly cold rationality and indifference. She stared at the stunned Nishidoin Yuriko with her cold snake eyes.

"In fact, the odds of winning between life and death aren't that high."

"In short, the way I cheated is more like doing a long-term business than gambling. I relied on my financial resources and time as a member of the student union to do it for a long time. I lost tens of millions, which can only be regarded as a wave of business, which is not a big deal at all.

The other party lost tens of millions but gave up everything he had and fell into hell. I'm afraid that many members of the Traditional Culture Research Society were held in your hands by this means. Giving hope and then driving them into deeper despair is extremely despicable. "

"I'm giving my all here, but Nishidouin-san is insignificant. This isn't fair~"

"If Hikigaya-kun were here, he would definitely refuse this gamble rationally because he has no certainty of winning~"

"But I just want Nishidouin-san to feel the same pain~"

At this moment, Nishidouin's hypocritical smile finally broke. Her expression began to twist and tremble, and she watched in horror as Jabami Yumeko piled up the chips one by one, and finally pressed all the chips that had been piled into the "Hole No. 24".

Jabami Yumeko said with a trembling voice: "My bet is 40 chips, all on hole 24. If I hit it right and it is judged as life, Nishidouin-san..."

"You are going to lose 21 billion yen."

Nishidoin was scared and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. Boundless fear surrounded her, and her face, which had been doing cosmetic surgeries all year round, was twisted with fear.

If she loses, she will have to pay 24 billion yen, a huge amount that she cannot afford on her own.

As one of the many casinos in Hyakkaou Academy, the research club has to pay huge taxes to the student union on a regular basis, and Sachiko Juraku, who is in charge of collecting the taxes from the casino, will definitely not be lenient.

In order to pay such a huge amount of money, she must use the donation. However, if she cannot maintain the amount of the donation, her status as a student union member will be lost, and her exclusive livestock and all her privileges will be taken away...

"Damn it, this crazy woman, Yumeko Jabami, how dare she, how dare she risk everything like this! I need to have a good talk with her..."

She raised her head, only to see Jabami Yumeko standing up and walking towards her step by step, gently stroking her face with her hand.

"You can lose so much money in just one bet. This is the real 'Sword of Life and Death', Nishidoin Yuriko-senpai~"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on..."

"Let's gamble like crazy!!!"

...

"Eh? Why on earth would Nishidouin-senpai be so frightened, and why would Jabami-san be so sure that the sword would be judged alive at the entrance of hole 21?"

"magnet."

Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his eyes and slowly uttered the key clue.

He nodded at the two mixed cats guarding the door: "Haven't you noticed yet? Look at their hands."

Huang Yiyue looked in the direction of Hikigaya Hachiman's movements, and only then did she realize that the things on their fingers were not "moles" at all, but magnets!

The magnet, the iron sword, the deliberate verbal provocation...all the clues were connected together in Huang Yiyue's mind. Her head exploded and she gradually understood everything.

Jabami Yumeko deliberately used words to anger Nishidoin, causing her to cheat in a new round of gambling. The dealer controlled the landing point of the iron sword through the magnet in his hand, linking them together and dragging them into an equal gambling hell.

But she still had one thing in mind: "But even if I cheat in this way, I can't be sure of the result, right? Why..."

"Because she is Jabami Yumeko." Hikigaya Hachiman said without hesitation:

"She is a person who, as long as both parties pay the same price, even if there is only a 1% chance of winning, she will not hesitate to drag the other party into the hell of gambling from which there is no escape."

31 Momobami Kirara is as unfathomable as the abyss

Drag everyone equally into the gambling hell.

This is the gamble of Yumeko Jabami, the gambler's daughter.

Not everyone can be like her, who can secrete dopamine crazily when facing hell. The crazier the gambling, the more excited Yumeko Jabami becomes.

"Perhaps from a medical point of view, Jabami should really check if there is something wrong with the organ that secretes dopamine in the brain?"

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but laugh, amazed at his own imagination.

"After spending so much time with Jabuchi, I'm starting to joke with myself."

On the monitor outside the house, Nishidouin was so scared that he fell to his knees, shaking uncontrollably. It was obvious that his desire to gamble had been defeated by Jabami Yumeko.

Even judging from the range of bets, her chances of winning are still higher than Jabami Yumeko's, but she does not have the awareness that the other party will lose everything.

The current situation has evolved from a simple competition of financial resources and gambling skills to a competition of awareness.

Jabami Yumeko's awakening...

"She's invincible." Hikigaya Hachiman sighed. He felt strangely emotional, having gone through two gambling games in one day. From a certain perspective, the winning methods of Jabami Yumeko and Saotome Meiari were so similar.

That is: take advantage of the opponent's cheating to create conditions for winning.

Nishidoin begged for mercy, but Jabami Yumeko kept pressing forward.

Just as the bet involving a huge sum of 21 billion was about to fail, Hikigaya's ears moved and he raised his head to look at the corner at the end of the corridor.

"Someone is coming..."

Hikigaya Hachiman's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he stared towards the end of the corridor.

The first thing that caught my eye was the little brown leather boots.

The girl in the lead was wearing matte stockings, and her legs were full and firm. Her extremely short pleated skirt swayed with her thighs, and every time it seemed that people were about to peek into the realm of bliss. She had an extremely charming and beautiful face, and was painted with a cool light blue lipstick and eye makeup.

Just the first glance made Hikigaya Hachiman feel unprecedented pressure.

'Like the unfathomable abyss...'

Hikigaya narrowed his eyes, and under the pressure, his gaze gradually became sharper.

So does Momobami Kirari represent strength in gambling skills, or the evil in human nature, or...both?

And behind her, there were three people following.

A woman with a smiley face mask and a body similar to Momobami Kirari. A petite little girl wearing a bunny hoodie, black and white striped knee-high socks, chewing a lollipop.

As several people approached, Hikigaya Hachiman's calm heart became restless again.

But in a moment, Momobami Kirari led the three to Hikigaya Hachiman. She put her slender fingers with light blue nail polish on her chin and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with interest: "You are the Hikigaya classmate recommended by Yukinoshita, right?"

"How do you feel about the past few days at Hyakkaou Academy?"

She seemed to be unaware of Hikigaya Hachiman's achievements, and she looked as friendly as a big sister next door, full of concern for her juniors. But Hikigaya knew clearly in her heart that a woman who founded the livestock system could not be as easy-going as she appeared.

"Very good. I am very satisfied with the school's hardware facilities and teaching quality."

"That's it..."

"I still have some things to take care of here. If it's convenient, I'd like to talk to Hikigaya-san about something later."

"It's disrespectful."

Momobami Kirari arrived at the gate of the research institute, and the two mixed cats gave way tremblingly as if they had met the king at the top of the food chain.

Then, Momobami Kirari turned around and asked Hikigaya Hachiman, "Hikigaya-san, do you want to come in and see the result of this bet?"

There was only Hikigaya Hachiman in Kirari's eyes. As for Sumeragi Itsuki who was expelled from the student union, her gaze did not stay on it for even a second, and she completely ignored her.
