Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"Why did it turn out like this? I...I...why..."

Perhaps because Saotome was too submissive, the girls who bullied her only used her as a footstool for a while and then let her go. There was no need to deliberately destroy a toy that had lost its resistance. Anyway, you could destroy it anytime when you were in a bad mood.

"Hey! Cat, my coffee spilled, come and lick it up!"

A new bully appeared. She lost the game and poured the coffee in her hand on her small leather boots in front of everyone. She looked at Saotome Meiari with a playful look on her face, admiring her trembling back.

"Attention, lick it, don't wipe it~"

She shook her boots.

whispering sound--

Saotome stood up from her seat tremblingly and walked towards her with an expressionless face.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all. Even if I drop out of school, I still have to bear the debt. No matter how difficult it is, I will endure it. Until the debt swap meeting, by then, none of these people will be left alive!

Saotome buried her anger deep in her heart and tried her best to behave like an emotionless doll so that these people would end their torture of her as soon as possible.

She crouched down.

Sticking out the pink tongue.

At the critical moment.

The pleasant broadcast sounded in my ears——

"It's time to watch something interesting. The emperor of the student council is going to start a gambling event! The opponents are Hachiman Hikigaya and Yumeko Jabami from our class!"

The class suddenly became chaotic and rushed towards the cafeteria, leaving Saotome behind.

Saotome's amber eyes regained their spirits and she murmured, "Are you gambling with Sumeru Itsuki? The gambling game with that woman..."

Thinking back to the abnormal observation of Hachiman Hikigaya when she was defeated, she chuckled, picked up the linen cloth, and started to wipe the floor.

15 Hikigaya Challenges Triple Nervous Decline

"Let's just play, how about triple nervous breakdown?"

Huang Yiyue smiled and spread the rules of the game through the camera to every corner of the campus.

Triple Neurosis

[Gambling method: Find three cards of the same suit among three decks of 156 cards (excluding the jokers). Since the cards are facing up, if you can't find the same suit after turning them over, you have to turn them back. If you find them successfully, you can turn them over again. The winner is the one who has turned over 78 cards in total.]

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an immediate uproar.

The one who reacted most strongly was Ryota Suzui, who had been ignored the whole time. "How is this possible? To remember the cards, you need to remember the positions of 156 cards. This is incredible!"

"Hey, passerby, could you please stop talking?"

Huang Yiyue's face turned cold and he glanced at him, and Suzui Ryota immediately shut his mouth.

At this moment, noisy discussions were also heard in the cafeteria on the first floor.

Everyone has played neurasthenia. As long as you find the same cards, regardless of the suit, many people can do it. But triple neurasthenia is different. If a normal person participates in this gambling game, it may end in a tie because neither side can remember all the card types.

Regarding this, Suzui Ryota was as sure as if peeing in a strong wind would splash onto his pants.

"This bet is too difficult. Who can complete it?"

"No, look at the expressions of these three people. They are not panicked at all."

"That is to say, if it was Sumeragi who didn't react, it would be understandable, but why didn't Hikigaya and Jabaka react? Are they sure they can do it?"

yes...

Why didn't they respond?

Huang Yiyue was also confused, but it didn't matter. She was sure to win the bet. Triple neurasthenia was a bet tailor-made for her!

She grinned, "Then the key thing now is the bet."

"I heard that you and Saotome-san bet 1000 million yen?"

"If the amount is smaller than this, it will be meaningless." Huang Yiyue clapped his hands and immediately sent someone to deliver the chips.

She picked up a chip with "100" printed on it. "This is a chip issued by the Student Union. One chip is worth one million. Here are 40 chips. Let's bet 4000 million!"

4000 million!

Ryota Suzui gasped after hearing this and looked worriedly at Hikigaya and Yumeko Jabami who remained unmoved.

Hearing this number, Jabami Yumeko looked disappointed: "What a pity, I don't have that much money. I really can't prepare 4000 million."

She raised her eyes and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with hope, and suddenly grabbed his hand: "Hey, Hikigaya-kun, can you lend me 3000 million?"

"Unfortunately, I only have 10 million." Hikigaya shook his head.

This is a lie.

Of course, his funds are more than 1000 million, and the purpose of showing weakness to the enemy is to see what Huang Yiyue is planning. It should not be just a threat to take the opportunity to lend them money and let them become livestock.

He waited quietly for Huang Yiyue's next words.

hum.

Having already calculated the funds for both of you, Huang Yiyue waved his hand, "How about this, how about both of you participate together? I'll lend you another 20 million yen without interest, and that will make up the money~"

"How should we play together?" Jabami Yumeko asked.

"Well, after all, triple nervous breakdown is too difficult for ordinary students, so I decided to lower the difficulty for you."

"If the two of you flip through it together and each of you remembers half, it will be much easier."

After hearing what she said, the enthusiasm on Jabami Yumeko's face gradually dissipated, and she became cold and rational.

She voiced the question in Hachiman's mind: "So, what's the benefit of doing this kind of thing?"

"To be honest, 20 million is not a big deal. It's more valuable to get people interested in the poker we produce."

As she spoke, she took out two brand new, unopened decks of playing cards from her shoulder bag and began to introduce them in front of the camera, slowly opening them without slowing down her movements.

"In that case, I have no objection. What about you, Hikigaya-kun?"

"it is good."

No, this was still not his goal, Hikigaya Hachiman was very sure. Really, I was looked down upon, he sneered and stood on the card table with Yumeko.

Huang Yiyue's technique was quite skillful, and the three decks of playing cards flew in her hands, overlapping and interlacing. From Hikigaya's observation, at least in this part, the opponent did not cheat.

Soon, 156 playing cards were scattered all over the table.

"You are the new students, let you go first."

The two sides stopped talking. Hikigaya Hachiman held his chin and carefully examined the cards on the table.

Suddenly realizing something, he and Jabami Yumeko looked at each other with tacit understanding, and understood the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"That's exactly what happened."

"Jabami Yumeko, this woman, is the most observant woman I have ever seen in my 16 years of life. In this respect, I have to put her in the same league as me."

"There's no point in being indecisive here, Jabami, just flip over a random card."

After saying that, Jabami Yumeko followed Hikigaya Hachiman's order and turned over the cards on the edge of the table.

Square 4.

Turn it over again.

4 of spades.

Grass flower 4.

"Well, all three cards are 4s, so it doesn't make sense if they're not of the same suit. It's your turn, Sumeragi-kun."

"That's right. Now it's my turn. I hope I can draw the six of diamonds."

Then, the two of them turned over the cards one by one, and then turned them back. Occasionally, matching cards would be turned over, but there was nothing wrong with that. Only when all the cards were turned over did the double nervous breakdown officially begin.

"Well, my two classmates, the gambling game has officially begun."

"Snake, Four of Diamonds."

Hikigaya calmly told Jabami Yumeko which cards he was going to turn over, and they both stretched out their hands at the same time, each facing the three covered cards on the table.

Swah——

The three fours of diamonds were exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Wow, these two really have such good chemistry. Are they really first-year students?"

"Sou-san was also very fast, and neither side made any mistakes."

The two sides fought back and forth, neither losing the upper hand.

【Huang Yiyue, match 22 cards. 】

[Snake and Bi are a pair, and they match 21 cards. 】

off the field.

"Is it my illusion? From just now till now, they haven't made any mistakes."

"what happened?"

"So...if you turn over a deck of cards that you've seen once before, you'll definitely be able to match it up! What a terrifying memory that is."

...

"Snake."

"Ok?"

Jabami Yumeko raised her head in confusion, and her naive look as she was interrupted from her immersion in the gambling game was so adorable.

Hikigaya slowly raised his hand that was covering the playing cards. He sighed helplessly and shook his head in disappointment.

"I can't remember the position of the next card." Hikigaya Hachiman said, "Can I give it to you next?"

Humph--

Huang Yiyue couldn't help but laugh.

Finally, I have reached the limit of normal people by persisting until now. It seems that Hikigaya Hachiman is just at the level of a normal person, nothing more.

"Leave it to me, Hikigaya-kun, you can rest now." Yumeko gently accepted Hikigaya's proposal.

"I'll leave everything to you, Mengzi!"

what--

Jabami Yumeko's face instantly turned red, as if lightning had struck her mind, looking at Hikigaya's meaningful eyes. She covered her chest and gasped wildly.

He kept repeating to himself, "As expected, Hachiman is special."

"?" After a while, Huang Yiyue tilted his head and looked at the sweaty Jabami Yumeko in confusion.

Is this woman okay? Even if she is under great pressure, her reaction is too outrageous.

Hikigaya Hachiman withdrew from the bet.

However, the situation on the field did not improve with the withdrawal of Hikigaya Hachiman, the "lagging player".

Finally, Mengzi made a mistake.

Her astonished look was transmitted through the camera to everyone present.

[Diamond 2, Diamond 2, Clover 2]

"Jabami Yumeko made the mistake first! Now the gap has widened! It will be hard to catch up now."

The avalanche has begun.

Mengzi seemed to be thrown off balance by the sudden mistake, and continued to make mistakes, further widening the score.

【69 to 57】

Huang Yiyue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some difficulty: "Jabami-san, you are really good. Most people can't hold on until now."

Indeed, even for Huang Yi Yue, persisting to this point felt somewhat exhausted.
