SS 25. [‘Bet’ Game - Round 10]

"Is there a way to defeat Ogu-san? No way, in this situation!?"

"Exactly."

"Whoa, hey!? Iroha! What are you saying!? There’s no way such a method exists!"

"Hmph, so Ogu doesn’t believe me?"

"O-Of course not! Besides, if such a method really existed, you would’ve used it a long time ago!"

"True. I also wanted to use it much earlier, but it took some time to prepare. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

"Ugh!? ...No, even if, by some miracle, such a method existed, the outcome is already decided! If left alone, I’d win anyway, so no one would help...!"

"Iroha-sama! I will, of course, assist you!"

"Ugh, that’s right!? Ilyena would have no chance otherwise. But, what about the others?"

"Oh? Sounds interesting. I’ll join in too."

"What the!? Why!?"

"Well, someone that arrogant deserves to be taken down a peg."

"Me too! I want to make Ogu-san say 'gotcha'!"

"Sounds like fun, so your big sis will join too-nee~☆"

"Wh-What, you guys!?"

Yeah, good behavior really matters, huh? And, in the end, they’re all streamers. Whatever their reasons, at the heart of it... it’s just their nature. Drawn in by what seems fun and what makes good content.

"Fine! If you’re all that determined... give it your best shot! Though I’ll be the one who wins in the end!"

Thus, the game moves to the next stage. From individual battles to a team battle: Ogu versus everyone else.

"This round’s time limit is up. The showdown will continue from Round 10."

"This is turning into quite a thrilling development!"

The princess exclaimed excitedly—

***

"The results for Round 9 are as follows. What will happen next...!?"

Bet Amounts

1 Token: Ilyena, Alchemist

2 Tokens: Orthros

3 Tokens: Iroha

4 Tokens: Anego

5 Tokens: Ogu

Current Chips

Ogu... 25 Tokens

Anego... 21 Tokens

Iroha... 19 Tokens

Orthros... 19 Tokens

Alchemist... 16 Tokens

Ilyena... 15 Tokens

Round 9 went just as Orthros explained with her foolproof strategy. The two lowest players lost 1 token each. If this continues, Ilyena will be the one to lose...

"So, Iroha-han. What’s the plan for beating Ogu-han?"

"Alright, I’d like everyone to join me in the private voice channel in turn. I’ve been wanting to chat one-on-one with Orthros for a while... I’m such a huge fan!"

"Hahaha! Sure thing!"

"Iroha-sama!? That’s unfair! You wouldn’t let me!"

"Exactly! Using it for personal reasons!?"

"Why are you taking it at face value? That was just a cover story, alright?"

"But, Iroha-sama!"

"But, it’s Iroha!"

"Ugh!? W-Well, maybe... okay, about 70%, no, 80–90% of it was... 'a chance to talk to my fave legally,' but still."

"Iroha-sama~!?"

"Knew it!"

For a true fan, directly speaking with their fave is a serious crossing of boundaries. Since, after all, walls have ears but no mouths. However, this time, it’s necessary—so it’s fine! Of course, I’m motivated!

"Alright, then, I’ll have a private chat with Iroha-han."

"My dear Or-chan, stolen by Iroha~!? But, what is this... strange excitement... Huh!? Is this what they call being netorare-d?!"

"Um!? I’ll speak privately with everyone!"

"Wha-!? So that means I’m also a target!?"

"Absolutely not!?"

And thus, I had private discussions with every player except Ogu. By the time we were done, Round 10’s limit was almost up...

"Iroha, you’re late! How long are you going to make me wait!"

"Sorry, sorry."

Returning from the private voice channel, Ogu snapped at me. Oh yeah, she’d placed her bet as soon as the round began. She must’ve been waiting. But these streamers know how to keep things lively with chatter, I’m sure.

"It wasn’t just this round. You were slow in the previous rounds too. You already know where you’re betting this time, so it shouldn’t take that long."

"I said sorry. I just placed my bet."

"...Alright, everyone’s bets are in. Let’s reveal the results for Round 10!"

"I already know the results!"

"The bet amounts are as follows!"

Bet Amounts

1 Token: Ilyena

2 Tokens: Alchemist

3 Tokens: Orthros

4 Tokens: Iroha

5 Tokens: Anego, Ogu

"Naturally, the bottom two... W-WHAAA!? Why am I tied at the top with Anego!?"

"Here are the updated chip counts:"

Current Chips

Ogu... 20 Tokens

Iroha... 19 Tokens

Orthros... 19 Tokens

Anego... 16 Tokens

Alchemist... 16 Tokens

Ilyena... 15 Tokens

"Wh-What are you thinking, Anego!? Do you want to lose!?"

"Uh, oops☆ Big sis made a mistake-nee!"

"You idiot!"

Ogu’s screams echoed. That little ‘mistake’ marked the start of our strategy—.
