SS 26. [‘Bet’ Game - Round 11 1]

“Hey, Anego! There’s no second chance, got it!? If you do that again, with a minus 5 chips, you’ll only have 12 left. You’ll end up dead last and definitely lose, Anego!”

“Haha, it’s fine, it’s fine☆”

“It’s definitely not fine!?”

Ah, Ah-nee’s ‘oops’ caused Angu Ogu’s chips to drop. Even more so, her own chips were dwindling, yet she laughed carelessly.

“Damn it, I slipped up too. This unbeatable strategy assumes everyone acts optimally. But with Anego, unpredictable accidents can happen.”

“Well, it’s just like Anego, right?”

“Yeah, I suppose... At least it happened while there was a margin with the chips.”

Angu Ogu sighed but seemed to accept it. Because “It’s Anego, after all,” and “It’s always like this.”

“Thanks to that, I’m only one chip ahead of Iroha and the others. Still, I’m holding onto first place, right? No way this kind of accident happens twice!”

“Now, moving on to the next round.”

With that ‘trouble’ behind us, Round 10 ended, and Round 11 began. Only 2-3 minutes after it started, the Princess announced:

“All bets have been confirmed.”

“Hm? That was fast this time. Well, if it brings my victory closer faster, I’m all for it.”

“Now, let’s reveal the results!”

“This time, the two lowest-ranked should overlap...”

Bet amounts:

1 chip: Anego

2 chips: Ilyena

3 chips: Alchemist

4 chips: Orthros

5 chips: Iroha, Ogu

“...Wh-what!? Why is my bet overlapping again!? Iroha, why did you bet ‘5 chips’!?”

“Oh? Did I accidentally input the wrong amount?”

“That’s a lie, isn’t it!? If that’s the case...”

“And now, here are the current chip holdings.”

Chips held:

Orthros... 19 chips

Anego... 16 chips

Alchemist... 16 chips

Ilyena... 15 chips

Ogu... 15 chips

Iroha... 14 chips

“Iroha, you’re... going to be last!?”

“Haha, tough luck, huh?”

“How can you be so nonchalant!? What’s going on!? What are you thinking!?... Wait!? Why am I the only one who’s overlapping from the previous round too!?”

“Wow, as expected from Ogu. You’re quick to catch on with a flawless strategy.”

“No way, you all!?”

“That’s right! The five of us formed a—team!”

“Wha... Nooo!?”

The five of us had formed a team, betting in a rotating order of 1~5 chips. By doing this, one of us would always bet ‘5 chips’. And what happened? Each of us lost 5 chips. Meanwhile, Angu Ogu...

“E-every round, I’m the only one losing 5 chips!? That’s unbearable!”

“That’s because, individually, Angu Ogu has the most chips. But if the rest of us work together... our combined chips can surpass yours.”

“S-such a method!?”

This was the ‘secret strategy’ I had prepared to defeat Angu Ogu. And, at the same time, it was why I couldn’t use the ‘Pre-Commitment’ strategy.

You see, when I was planning to use it, there were two people at the bottom.

Which meant there was a chance of legitimate cooperation against me.

Of course, it required them to trust each other and not betray one another.

Since, the one who placed a bet first would temporarily become the sole last place. If the other betrayed...

“W-wait! There’s still something I can’t accept! That is... Anego’s involvement! Such a complex plan couldn’t possibly be understood by her! Iroha, you said so yourself!”

“That’s right. Which is why I...”

“—Spent ‘3 rounds’ explaining it to Anego.”

“W-what!? Three rounds!? When did you have such time... Wait!? Was it then!?”

Anego and I had a ‘private meeting under the guise of explaining the unbeatable strategy.’ It was during rounds 6~8, precisely when Angu Ogu complained, “Bets are slow!”

“And so Anego finally understood... Honestly, it was exhausting. I almost gave up. I was nearly in tears. I had no idea it would be this hard.”

“Iroha-chan, oh~ stop, you flatter me too much☆! You don’t need to be so moved by big Anego’s ‘intelligence’~?”

“...Ugh~~~!”

“Iroha, seriously, you’ve worked so hard.”

“Indeed, this was all part of Iroha-sama’s ‘preparation’ to defeat Ogu.”

In this ‘betting game,’ time was the critical factor. And I was right about that. Though, not quite in the way I expected. No, really, I wish it had been different. After making Anego understand, I had individual talks with the others... And that led us here.

“N-no... It’s not over yet!”

“Oh~? You’re still not giving up?”

“Of course not! If I bet ‘5 chips’ again next, I’ll drop to the bottom. But, for now, Iroha is still in last. So if I bet against her, I can win!”

“Sorry, Ogu, but that’s almost impossible.”

“Why!?”

“Because... we’re a ‘team of five.’”

I told Angu Ogu. At last, the loser of this ‘betting game’ was about to be decided—!
