Chapter 357-6

SS 23. [‘Bet’ Game - Round 9 1]

"Iroha-han didn't do anything wrong! Not a single thing!"

Orthros streamer burst into exaggerated tears.

Character sprites often have normal expressions and special expressions that switch on and off. In this case, it was definitely the latter.

Cute.

"I see. When Ogu-san declared a ‘5-chip bet,’ the only one with more chips than her was Anego-san. And then, Anego-san…"

"Everyone, is something wrong? If you have something to say to big sis, bring it on!"

"That’s it, isn’t it?"

“““..Sigh~”””

Everyone, except Ah-nee, let out a big sigh. A soft "Hehe" echoed from somewhere.

"Fuhaha! That's right! So, my victory is unshakable! Ah~ I was surprised; I didn’t expect that move. For a second, I really thought I might lose."

"Ogu, you're letting your true feelings slip out?"

"Ugh, shut up! It doesn’t matter! Whatever I say now, my victory is secure!"

"Wow, she's taunting us hard! But honestly, Ogu-san is right."

"It seems we have no choice but to decide a loser among us."

"And with no surefire strategy left, it's a complete game of chance...or maybe…"

Everyone seemed to agree. Only Orthros appeared to be deep in thought...

"Go ahead and fight each other miserably, you losers! Fuhahaha!"

Angu Ogu’s loud laughter echoed. At this point, there was no helping it. I… I could only do what I could.

"Hmm, I see, Ah-nee? …I see?"

"Hey, hey, Ah-nee."

"Iroha-chan, what's wrong?"

I called out to Ah-nee, who was nodding like she understood. After all, I wanted her to truly understand and enjoy this game.

"Ah-nee, you don’t understand at all, do you? Come to the private voice channel, I’ll explain it to you."

"Huh? Ah, but wouldn’t it be better to explain it to everyone together?"

"They already understand! Explaining it here would just be repetitive and get in the way!"

"Onee-chan totally understands, too~☆"

"Alright, alright, save that for the private talk."

"Iroha-sama looks like a police officer leading the culprit away."

The next few rounds were Ogu’s domain. Her chips remained untouched at zero loss. Meanwhile, for us…

***

"Here are the chip holdings as of Round 9!"

Chips Held:

Ogu... 25 chips

Anego… 21 chips

Iroha... 19 chips

Orthros... 19 chips

Alchemist... 17 chips

Ilyena... 16 chips

"Finally, everyone’s dropped below 20 chips."

"Ugh~ I’m in last place."

"Hey, I’m just one chip ahead, so we’re in the same boat. Let’s hang in there together, Ilyena-san."

"Of all of us, only Anego-han still has over 20 chips. As expected, she’s holding on… But, more importantly…"

"Fuhaha! Ahh, being a winner feels great!"

"Ogu-san hasn’t lost a single chip since then—she’s too strong. We’re all barely hanging on."

"Hey, you all! First place here is getting bored! Hurry up and end this!"

"Ugh! Iroha-sama, it’s frustrating!"

As Angu Ogu continued taunting, Ilyena shouted back. It seemed like this situation would continue, but then…

"…I’m sorry, Ilyena-han."

"Huh?"

Orthros muttered softly.

…Finally. She’d been deep in thought for a while, so I figured this would come sooner or later.

"Ogu-han. If you’re going to go that far, I’ll end this game."

"Oh? I won’t ask you to end it in the minimum of four rounds, but if you could decide in about six rounds..."

"No, not four rounds. I’ll end it this round."

Then, Orthros announced to everyone.

"I’ve found the ‘winning strategy’ for this game."

“““The winning strategy!?”””

"This time, it’s the real thing, not like before."

"End it? With a winning strategy? What on earth are you planning?"

"Actually, this strategy isn’t something I can use. The only one who can use it is... Anego-han."

"...Eh? M-me!?"

Ah-nee was visibly shaken, her gaze darting around. Orthros then revealed her plan to her.

"The strategy is for Anego-han to declare a ‘4-chip bet.’"

"Huh!? Wait a second! Isn’t that the same bogus strategy you failed with, Orthros!?"

"That’s right."

"Then, it’s still no good! That strategy can only be used by Ogu-san, the one in first place! That’s why we all bet randomly!"

"That’s correct, Ilyena-han. This strategy can only be used by the person in first place... by ‘first place’ only."

"Huh? Ah... ahhh!"

The Alchemist screamed. At the same time, there was a loud crashing sound, as if something fell over.

"A-are you okay!?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I was just too shocked. If I understood correctly, the number of chips required to win this ‘betting game’ is..."

Then, the Alchemist revealed the shocking truth.

"…Only ‘1 chip’."
