Although she knew that Takako was deliberately provoking her, Sagihara Shion was still aroused with anger.

Yes, I wasn’t afraid even back then, and I even dared to put my life on the line. What is there to be afraid of now?

"If you insist, then come on—" Sagihara Shion took a deep breath and looked at her without giving in or fear, "But I have one condition—we have to check it carefully first, and then we draw first."

"I've already given you so much, and you still want more concessions? That's really embarrassing. But... yes, absolutely." Hyoudou Takako just smiled. "But in order to prevent you from doing anything, I have to supervise you."

"Okay, that's it!" Sagihara Shion nodded heavily.

Since the method of the confrontation had already been discussed, there was no need to hesitate any longer. Sagihara Shion took the box and carefully examined the box and the bamboo sticks inside.

No matter how she and Mogami Jun checked, they didn't find anything unusual. The box was ordinary and there was no difference in the texture on the front and back of the bamboo sticks.

"How is it? Is there any problem?" Hyoudou Takako sneered at Sagihara Shion, "You think too much. I decided to fight on impulse today, so how could I have time to prepare any props in advance? You should think about how to pray to God for blessing, so that your two-thirds chance of winning can be turned into a real chance of winning..."

Sagihara Shion didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

Thus, this terrifyingly simple duel officially began.

Because neither side trusted the other, as a compromise, Hyoudou Takako and Sagihara Shion grabbed the small box at the same time and shook it together.

With the addition of two people, the shaking force and amplitude were very violent, just like the dealer in a casino shaking the dice, and the bamboo sticks inside had already been out of order.

"Let's start." Hyoudou Takako looked at Sagihara Shion, "You guys draw first."

It's time to test your luck.

Sagihara Shion bit her lip.

God has been kind to me and saved me from the brink of collapse. If that's the case, I will never abandon her again.

She reached into the box and pulled it back suddenly.

Then she took another deep breath, tremblingly brought her clenched hands to her chest, and slowly opened them.

Then, a look of relief and ecstasy appeared in her eyes.

Sakura.

Japan's national flower seems to represent too many things at this moment.

The 19th letter in the S sequence is already very far back.

It was such good luck for the first time that Sagihara Shion couldn't believe it.

"You really are destined to be with S, Sagihara Shion. Your luck is really enviable. It's really the advantage brought by your name..." Hyoudou Takako said somewhat sourly.

(Sagihara Shion’s name also starts with S, so she is considered a filial son.)

Seeing that Sagihara Shion was so lucky, Mogami Junya breathed a sigh of relief. He reached into the box and took out a bamboo stick.

Life (inochi).

Sequence 9, so-so, or even a bit unlucky. Mogami Jun frowned.

Is this life?

I don't believe it!

Free skirt ㈨ five zero one ⑧ zero nine zero 9

Then, both of them turned their attention to Hyoudou Takako.

With a smile on her face, she calmly reached her hand into the box. After a few seconds of rustling, she took her hand out again.

Then she spread it out and took a look.

"How is this possible!" Almost in an instant, Sagihara Shion, who was originally very happy, froze and screamed.

"Yanagi"

When she saw this Chinese character that originally represented spring and elegance, it seemed so terrifying in Sagihara Shion's eyes.

Y, the letter number 25 in the sequence, was actually drawn out by the filial son on the first try.

"My luck is so good." Hyoudou Takako laughed wildly, "God said that I will stand on the high ground, so what if I have to fight one against two? This is destined! Hahahaha!"

56. Agency

"God has said that I will stand on top, so what if I have to fight two alone? This is what is destined! Hahahaha!"

Hyoudou Takako's unrestrained laughter echoed in the small box, while Sagihara Shion's face was pale and her whole body was trembling slightly, while Mogami Jun frowned and stared at each other, watching Takako's every move.

She didn't expect that this duel with such simple rules would become so dangerous in the first round. In the first draw, the filial son drew the Chinese character "柳" which represents the letter Y.

It's unbelievable. If it was just luck, then this luck is too terrible.

At least Jun Mogami didn't believe that such a coincidence would happen.

So Hyoudou Takako must have cheated!

But it is meaningless to just speculate like this. It is impossible for Takako Hyoudou to admit that he cheated, and without direct evidence, there is no way to stop Takako.

So…how did Hyoudou Takako cheat right under the noses of these two people?

The props for this duel were too simple, just a box and a bamboo stick. Both of them had just checked these two props very carefully and could not find any problems.

But Hyoudou Takako still did it.

Seeing Sagihara Shion and Mogami Jun falling into panic and distress, Hyoudou Takako's joy grew even stronger.

"Okay, let's start the second round. Don't you guys want it to end quickly? Then hurry up!" She continued to urge, looking like she was sure of victory. "If you keep dragging it out, it will be a foul, right?"

Seeing that the situation had become quite unfavorable, Sagihara Shion wanted to say stop, but her inner pride did not allow her to beg for mercy in this way. She raised her right hand tremblingly and reached into the box.

She was sure that Hyoudou Takako must have done something, but time was short and she didn't have time to think carefully about how she did it.

Now that the matter is done, we can only grit our teeth and persevere.

She deliberately slowed down her movements, then winked at Jun Mogami next to her, hoping that she could buy this junior some time so that he would have enough time to find Takashi's flaws - at this tense moment, Jun Mogami once again became her hope.

At the urging of her filial son, she finally withdrew her hand and took out a bamboo stick.

"Oboro".

Sequence 15 of the English alphabet.

When she saw this Chinese character, Sagihara Shion felt a pain in her heart again.

Drawing O was already considered good luck, but it was far from enough to face the filial son who was suspected of cheating, and it was not enough for her to win.

Chunjun, I hope you can gain something… she thought to herself.

"Good luck, but it's far from enough to defeat me..." Hyoudou Takako said with a half-smile, then turned to look at Mogami Jun, urging him to go for the second round. "Okay, boy, it's your turn. Aren't you afraid of missing the curfew? Don't be afraid, you can go home soon--"

There was no time left, and Jun Mogami felt increasingly heavy in his heart.

While the senior was stalling for time just now, he had been observing Hyoudou Takako and the surrounding environment again, but he still couldn't see anything unusual. Now it was his turn to draw. After he drew, it would be Takako's turn. If she drew a Chinese character starting with W or Z again, it would be too late. Sequence 26 plus 25, the two letters together could almost beat three.

The senior will be forced to serve Takako, and she will have to face the fact that she was defeated by Takako Hyoudou.

unbearable.

Taking advantage of the last bit of time, he breathed slightly heavier and looked at Hyoudou Takako again.

She is indeed a very beautiful woman.

She had beautiful facial features, her eyes sparkled with alcohol, her arrogance was mixed with a hint of charm, and her hair dyed dark orange gave her a more bizarre beauty. Her fair skin seemed to glow against the black kimono.

In the middle of the black kimono is a thick and long beige belt with a black and white belt band in the middle. A few gems are hung at the end of the belt band, making it look dazzling and elegant.

If she wasn't so bad-tempered, this senior would have been very popular and the object of everyone's admiration... This outfit would have cost at least nearly a million yen, and the jewelry would be even more difficult to estimate. Some thoughts that had nothing to do with the duel came to Mogami Jun's mind.

Wait, jewelry...

As if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him, he finally understood something.

The brain was spinning rapidly, thoughts flooding into the mind frantically. These fragments of consciousness collided violently in the mind, and finally slowly merged together to form a coherent train of thought.

He finally figured out how filial sons do things.

So this is what filial sons do... No wonder.

The so-called "I'll be merciful and give you a two-thirds chance of winning" was nothing more than a lie on her part to mislead Sagihara Shion and Mogami Jun into thinking that this was really just a gamble of luck.

That is to say, why would the children of a chaebol gamble their luck with others?

Only a dozen seconds had passed, but to him it seemed like a year had passed.

"Hey? Why are you still standing there? Go smoke!" Hyoudou Takako urged again.

This time, he didn't hesitate any more.

Then let’s decide the winner, not by drawing lots, but by doing something beyond drawing lots!

He simply reached out and put it into the box.

His hand quickly swept across the bamboo sticks inside, rubbing the surface of the bamboo sticks, looking for the touch he guessed.

A few seconds later, he found it.

Yes, that was the answer he wanted.

Then he pulled his hand back and quickly threw a bamboo stick onto the low table.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the bamboo stick.

Cunning (zurui).

"Surprisingly... unexpectedly..." Sagihara Shion's heart, which had been hanging in the air, relaxed instantly. Her legs could hardly support the weight of her body and shook violently. Then she cheered in surprise, "That's great... That's great, Jun-kun!"

The smile on Hyoudou Takako's face disappeared instantly, and she looked at Mogami Jun viciously.

"You kid..."

She wasn't just mad at Mogami Jun for pulling out Z.

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning, Hyoudou-senpai." Under the astonished gaze of Hyoudou Takako, Mogami Jun said with a smile.

He was also mocking the other party with a double entendre.

Before Hyodo Takako could say anything else, he slowly spread out his hand, revealing another bamboo stick in his palm.

Mi (wataru).

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Taking out two lottery tickets at one time is definitely against the rules and cannot be used as an official score. Mogami Jun's score has to be invalidated.

But his intention was not to show off his cheating achievements.

His action meant that the words beginning with Z, which was the highest letter in the sequence, and the letter W, which was second only to Y, were all taken out at once by him, and the filial son would not be able to draw any.

More importantly, this could not be luck, but he had some method that could definitely find the high letters in the sequence.

As for what this method is, filial sons are the ones who know it best.

She did not reprimand Jun Mogami for breaking the rules, but just looked at Jun Mogami quietly, as if she was getting to know each other all over again.

"Jun-kun, you really did it! You saw through her trick!" Compared to Hyoudou Takako's astonishment, Sagihara Shion was naturally ecstatic, "Tell me, how did she do it?"

"She just went to the window to breathe, not only to see the night scenery and sober up, but she also took off a piece of jewelry from her belt without telling us." Mogami Jun said his confirmed guess, "Then, she hid the jewelry in her hand, and when she showed us the lots, she secretly used a pin to scratch the bamboo sticks with the highest sequence. Then we can find them by feeling the tiny scratches at specific locations. Well, to prevent us from getting suspicious, she scratched the side of the bamboo sticks. The side is very thin and there is the texture of the bamboo itself, so no one can easily notice it. The only flaw is that the jewelry was not on her when she did this, and she secretly put it back after the lottery started. But... who would pay attention to the objects on her body at that time? Besides, she quickly covered it up, and I only found out the abnormality after careful recollection afterwards."

"Jun-kun, you're amazing..." Sagihara Shion looked at him in admiration, "I didn't even notice it at all."

"Well, that's normal. After all, senior is a girl, she won't pay too much attention to other women, unlike me." Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course. "She dresses very beautifully. To be honest, I have seen her and I am very impressed."

"You can speak so eloquently. It turns out that Jun-kun is also in his unruly adolescence..." Sagihara Shion's smile froze, and it was unclear whether she was sighing or mocking.

"...Well, anyway, her cheating method has failed, that's all." Mogami Jun felt something was wrong, so he immediately changed the subject, "Of course, this also proves that she really did it on impulse and not prepared in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have left any loopholes for people to find."

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, Mogami Jun still had some respect for Hyoudou Takako. After all, he came up with the way of fighting and the method of cheating in such a short time, and completed the cheating extremely quickly, almost forcing him and Sagihara Shion into the desperate situation of defeat. This kind of brainpower and quick decision-making ability are definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

She has the capital to be proud.

IX. WulinⅠ⑧Jiulin Lake

While Mogami Jun and Sagihara Shion were talking, Hyoudou Takako remained silent, allowing the two of them to chat and laugh. The wild momentum she had just shown was also restrained. She just looked at the two people opposite her quietly, her eyes flickering.

"Senior Hyoudou, let's stop here." After Mogami Jun finished explaining, he looked at Hyoudou Takako seriously again and asked again, "Can we go back now?"

Takako Hyoudou looked at the bamboo stick "Liu" that she had just pulled out in her hand, then suddenly laughed, and then threw the bamboo stick on the table casually.

"Okay, that's enough for tonight, you can go home."

Then she clapped her hands and called in a man in black who had been on standby outside.
