Chapter 308: Chapter 306: The Final Winner
I don’t know if the Goddess of Fortune finally remembered her Child of the Plane, or if the three girls across had done too many unrighteous acts, but in the subsequent rounds, Shirakawa Sawahei effortlessly won, winning six pieces of clothing.
The girls, who now had nothing left to take off, began to try and act cute to get by...
"Waaah~ Shirakawa, look, doesn’t this handkerchief count as a piece?"
"Oh my, Shirakawa-kun! Look, I just happen to have a hairpin... so lucky~ I’ll take off a hairpin..."
"Shirakawa, look, my swimsuit is so important, shouldn’t it count as two pieces? The top alone should equal at least five pieces, right?!"
"Yes, yes, I agree!"
"Cut the act. You agreed to accept the consequences before..."
With no other choice, the whimpering ones had to bow out in tears, ending their mission as undercover agents...
Ise Yu? This guy, relying on two band-aids, managed to stay until the end...
Surviving to the final round must feel something like this...
"Xiao Mo... avenge me..."
"I-I’ll try my best..."
With the arrival of Miss Tachibana Tomoku, Shirakawa Sawahei’s offensive seemed to slow down a bit, but unfortunately, Ise Yu Yuzhijin had only two band-aids, and after using them up, she was unwilling to listen to the whining ones’ cajoling and tearfully chose to exit.
"Only three people left. Shall we end it?"
"No way! Shirakawa, you want to run after winning! No way! Three people can still play! Doesn’t Huaxia have Dou Di Zhu! I saw people playing it on YouTube before!"
"But... I don’t know the rules..."
The shy one timidly raised their hand, with the whimpering one dismissing it: "No worries! I watched it! I can teach you!"
"I can play that too! Tachibana-san! The two of us can help you!"
Shirakawa Sawahei mercilessly teased, "Weaklings should just accept their punishment and stop dreaming of comebacks."
"Shirakawa-kun! Although we can’t beat you with four people playing cards together, in Dou Di Zhu, you might not necessarily win!"
"That’s right! Shirakawa! Clean yourself up and wait for defeat! With us and Xiao Mo joining forces, you’ve got no chance!"
Shirakawa Sawahei slowly played a question mark.
Three of you targeting one and you all failed, now with two, you think you can do it?
Fine, pour some cappuccino for the aunties...
However, it didn’t take long for Shirakawa Sawahei to realize that the choice of the shy one as their spokesperson by the whimpering ones had an ingenious purpose...
If he chose landlord and won, then Miss Tachibana Tomoku would have to accept punishment with the little lolita... Judging by the amount of clothing they had, the little lolita clearly had more prepared...
If he chose the peasants... it would be hard to team up with Miss Tachibana Tomoku to face the Black Hearted Lolita. After all, this girl is rather gentle and might cave to the pressure of the whimpering ones and betray him...
Ah, they’re forcing me to personally take down the shy one to end this battle of pride?
Shirakawa Sawahei was momentarily caught in a dilemma...
No choice, to protect himself, he had to play it safe as landlord a few times, ensuring his safety until Miss Tachibana Tomoku started losing and began offering tokens... only then did the real dilemma arise...
Looking at the shy one’s blushing cheeks and pitiful gaze, Shirakawa Sawahei gritted his teeth, and let down his guard, taking the Black Hearted Lolita down with him.
"Aha! I knew Shirakawa wouldn’t have the heart to go hard on Xiao Mo! Quick, quick! Press the advantage!"
"Ahhh... the second time seeing Shirakawa-kun’s body... and not at the beach... very reference-worthy..."
Shirakawa Sawahei: ?
Explain it to me, what’s so reference-worthy?
"Again, again!"
Seeing the Black Hearted Lolita’s eyes ablaze with some mysterious fire, looking like she’d been injected with adrenaline, Shirakawa Sawahei had no choice but to hold on...
Braving it, he played another round.
Tachibana-san, I’m sorry, blame those two guys behind you...
Landlord! It’s mine now!
Black Hearted Lolita: You might not know what it means to strip a pretty boy down with a few pieces of clothing. We usually describe such a person with two words.
Gamble Freak!
Back in the day, Hayakawa Kashi could trick a pretty boy into diving with a few words, so it’s not a problem for me to set him up today.
Lay a trap, this card shouldn’t be robbed, this card doesn’t need robbing, he’s doomed!
If I could switch teammates from Tachibana Tomoku to Tsukimi sakurazawa, this round would be an absolute kill, but alas, it’s unchangeable.
Single move with a six, dumb~ass~walks off with a K!
Pour a cup of tea for Tachibana Tomoku, alright, pour a cappuccino for Tachibana cutie...
Seventeen cards! Seventeen cards, pretty boy, you can wipe me out in seconds! I’ll go 404 for you on the spot!
This...
As Shirakawa Sawahei smoothly played all his cards, the Black Hearted Lolita was dumbfounded on the spot.
Tsukimi sakurazawa and Ise Yu Yuzhijin gasped in shock...
Shirakawa-kun is ruthless... even an angel like Tachibana-san couldn’t survive... now it’s a disaster... the four of us are virtually stripped of our tops, with only Asano Nazuki still holding the last line of defense on the upper battlefield...
But honestly, that Black Hearted Lolita... isn’t very appealing...
Though the girls lost their clothes, Shirakawa Sawahei isn’t some pervert; he just let them keep their final piece of inner swimwear, acting a little softer in attitude was good enough.
Even though mysterious forces from a higher dimension eagerly wanted him to act devilish, in the end, he couldn’t withstand the pressure of a 404 and ended this benefit-filled nighttime poker...
Afterwards, the whimpering ones gathered a few girls in their pajamas, resolved to bounce back next time, waiting till winter for another chance to have a showdown with Shirakawa Sawahei and reclaim their honor.
Regarding their thoughts, Shirakawa Sawahei was rather dismissive.
Just you guys? Winter comes, and I start with a leg up in long johns, do you?
"Alright, it’s getting late, we should sleep now."
Shirakawa Sawahei told the girls, suddenly feeling a bit off about saying that himself...
"Eek... Shirakawa-kun, want to play a bit more... we haven’t had the pillow fight, the staple activity of a sleepover, yet..."
"..."
"Keep your noise down then, don’t wake the neighbors."
"Eh? Shirakawa-kun, aren’t you going to join? It’s much more fun when everyone joins a group activity like this..."
"Not interested, you guys carry on..."
"Ah... that’s disappointing... never mind then, it’s quite late now anyway..."
The slacker girl, having been lazing around all day, seemed overcome with sleepiness, yawning: "Let’s just sleep early, play tomorrow morning..."
"Well... that’s also good... the beds in the room are quite big... Shirakawa, to prevent you from sleeping poorly, you should sleep on the edge..."
Shirakawa Sawahei: ?
Who exactly sleeps poorly? Back at the villa, who was it that woke up still hugging my arm!?
"What are you on about, Shirakawa, do you actually want to sleep in the middle? Legitimately hugging left and right?"
"Not interested at all, I’ll just sleep on the far side first..."
"Hey, hey... I wasn’t finished." Tsukimi sakurazawa added righteously, "To prevent you from laying a hand on our Calligraphy Club kids, as the president, I’ve decided to guard them with my body... Shirakawa, I’ll sleep next to you later!"
