The Gemini Princess wants me to confess my feelings!

Chapter 96 Slam Dunk on the Boss

Mori Shizue said very seriously, "I want to..."

'

"You want to...?" Kirihara Akira asked, sitting up straight.

"I want to roll the dice, I want to pass the judgment." Mori Shizue stared straight at him and said, "The outcome depends on this round."

Kirihara Akira leaned forward and said, "Um, do you want to defuse the bomb I strapped to you, or do you want to pass the ability stat check in this room?"

"Oh, so I have to go through a judgment process first." Mori Shizue was a little dumbfounded and said, "Then, I guess I'll have to go through the room's judgment process first."

"...This room requires you to pass a speed test. Your character's speed is three, which means you can leave the room if you roll three dice and the total is five or higher. Otherwise, your sanity will decrease by one level."

Mori Shizue picked up the three dice and solemnly and reverently threw them into the dice tower.

A crisp, pleasant clinking sound rang out as the three dice dropped over three layers of cardboard, trembling as they landed on the table, hitting the baffle and bouncing back, thus colliding with each other.

They shook for several seconds before finally settling down.

The dice roll was alright, three ones, but the result failed to pass the judgment.

Kirihara Akira closed her eyes in pain.

Oh no, both leaders have been arrested.

None of the three looked very well.

"Maybe, um..." Mori Shizue stammered, "I might not be able to play a game that relies so much on luck."

Finally, Sen Qingye couldn't take it anymore and yelled, "Are you an idiot?! This is what you call bad luck—rolling a one on seven dice is bad luck, okay? Yours was completely due to your own stupid actions!"

"Idiot, what an idiot's operation..." Mori Shizue exclaimed in shock. She huffed, "Kiyo, how could you use such vulgar language? That's not how I taught you!"

Mori Kiyoha practically rolled her eyes to the sky, saying, "Give me a break! You can't beat me at the game, so you try to intimidate me with sweet talk. What a rip-off!"

"It's not like I wanted to be your teammate, it was the villain chosen by dice rolls! And you'll die before me!" Mori Shizue said angrily, "Then let's change the game, let's play a one-on-one game!"

"Ahem," Kirihara Akatsuki said, "Well, it's getting late, what do you think..."

Kirihara Akira was really about to lose it; he wanted to die as soon as possible.

Whatever those two girls want to say to him, hurry up and come over.

Mori Kiyoha glanced at him, her eyes full of mockery, seeing through Kirihara Akira's thoughts, but said with a wicked sense of humor, "No, I want to keep playing."

"Yes, let's keep playing," Mori Shizue said firmly.

The one in front was just being malicious, the one behind was just really addicted.

"Let's play Skull & Bones cards then, it's easy." Kirihara Akira sighed and got up to get the box.

Being a playmate for a young lady isn't easy.

He took the box of skull cards and said, "To put it simply, each box contains a base and four cards: three face cards and one skull. Each player faces down in the first round. After that, players take turns, and can choose to call or face down. The player who calls must indicate how many face cards are on the table. Each player can only call once per round. Also, if someone calls a 2, the next player must call a 3 or higher. The player with the highest call flips over a card. If they flip over a skull, they lose. The loser discards their hand. If their hand is empty, they are eliminated."

Kirihara Akira paused for a moment, then said, "It's very simple, isn't it? There's absolutely no element of luck involved, just pure strategy."

"I understand. I'm good at game theory." Mori Shizue nodded in satisfaction and said, "But some people are just plain stupid from a young age."

Fifteen minutes later, Mori Shizue stared wide-eyed at the bomb she had found.

"Huh?" She looked up at Kirihara Akira, then at the cards. "Huh? Huh? Huh?"

"Why is this happening? Are you kidding me?!"

Mori Kiyoha threw the last card in her hand onto the table, speechless: "Kirihara Akira, what kind of medicine did you feed my sister? I thought she was pretty smart."

"Uh." Kirihara Akira was speechless.

Mori Shizue snapped out of her game mode and realized what was happening. Her face flushed, and she gently patted her slightly hot cheeks with her delicate hands, saying, "I've lost my composure, I've lost my composure."

Kirihara Akira and Mori Kiyoha exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Kirihara Akira understood perfectly.

There's no shortage of rich, well-behaved girls in this world, and there's no shortage of hot-tempered, blond-haired bastards who can steal them away.

A man described as a toad in the story, and a woman who is high above and noble beyond compare—two creatures from different worlds—are able to come together.

Its essence is quite simple: the toad showed the swan a different world, a world that made the swan feel excited.

Therefore, some people say that daughters should be raised in luxury, while others say that while children are young and can still make mistakes, they should be approached and understood as much as possible.

Kirihara Akatsuki has never raised children, so she doesn't know if these principles are true or false, but they at least have some reference value.

Judging from Miss Shizue's appearance, she is like a swan trapped in a small world.

Kirihara Akira didn't see herself as a toad, yet she and Kirihara Akira were never meant to be from the same world.

Kirihara Akira said, "Want to play another round? Skull cards are quick and easy to play."

"I'm done playing, I need to rest." Mori Shizue sniffed and said, "I've never played board games before, I never expected them to be so fun."

"For someone trying this for the first time, you've done a pretty good job," Kirihara Akira comforted her.

Mori Shizue shook her head and said, "A win is a win, and a loss is a loss."

"Tsk." Mori Kiyoha scoffed, "Boring pride."

Then the two sisters started glaring at each other.

Kirihara Akatsuki seized the opportunity to say, "A couple of days ago, Kisaragi-sensei released a new song. She sang it really well, but since she's a solo artist, I thought it might take a long time for this song to finally become known to the public."

Unexpectedly, "Jealousy" has climbed to such a high position on the charts in such a short time, and has garnered impressive views on various websites.

"Yes, it's great," Mori Shizue said calmly. "The timing is right; the quality of this song matches its current popularity."

Kirihara Akira looked at Mori Shizue and said, "I participated in the production of this song, and it was ultimately released using her account. I know her penniless and self-reliant nature, otherwise I would have thought she spent a lot of money on promotion."

Mori Shizue smiled without saying a word.

Then Kirihara Akira looked at Mori Kiyoha, but Mori Kiyoha's gaze wasn't on him. She was fiddling with the flower cards on the table and gave a meaningful sneer.

Seeing that they didn't seem inclined to admit it, Kirihara Akira gave up on the back-and-forth and simply said, "Thank you, or rather, thank you all."

Mori Kiyoha sighed and said, "I told you, this kid is a shrewd one, nothing can be hidden from him."
