93. Top Secret and Thousand Blade Festival [10] – part 2

「T-This means…! As long as Allen is the dealer no one can win!」

The president said while glaring at me.

「No, that’s not always the case. I was able to use card memorization this time because of you, president.」

「M-Me?」

「Yes. It is absolutely impossible to remember 52 cards in an instant. In order to use this, you need to take a good look at the deck.」

「A good look at the deck?! D-Did you perhaps? At that time?!」

「Yes. I pretended to check if it’s a gimmick card and I actually memorized the cards in the deck instead.」

From my point of view, honestly, it didn’t matter whether it was a gimmick card or not.

As long as I memorize the card order in the deck, the game is pretty much decided.

「T-That’s just… Which means this game was…」

「Yes, the winner was already determined from the beginning.」

And when I finished the explanation,

「…Nee, Allen-kun. Being able to control the cards of the deck freely means… The thing you pulled at the end, that was a little cruel, wasn’t it?」

The quick-witted president realized quickly.

「……I wonder what you’re talking about?」

I knew exactly what she meant by “the thing you pulled at the end”, but I feigned ignorance just to mess with her.

「At the end, I was very happy to get a Full House…『I did it! I can beat Allen-kun with this hand!』is what I thought, but now… I clearly understand from your current explanation that you set it up to be that way, right?」

The president shot a glare at me.

There is no way I can talk myself out of this one.

「A-Ahaha… I’m sorry, your reactions were quite interesting… so I ended up doing something mean.」

It truly was on a sudden impulse.

She’s the one who keeps changing her expression so much. It was fun to watch her, so I got carried away at the end.

And when I confessed,

「As I expected! Since you were a mean child, don’t blame me for doing this!」

The president stood up from her chair and walked towards the window behind her.

She opened the window and,

「Everyone! Allen-kun is in here! He’s riddled with wounds, so it’s the perfect chance!」

She exposed my hiding place in a loud voice.

「P-President?!」

「Hehe! This is for being a mean child to onee-san! …Achoo!」

「Good grief… I’m leaving already! And please warm yourself up before going to sleep today, so that you don’t catch a cold!」

I said and quickly ran out of the student council room.

However,

「「「Found you, Allen-Rodore!」」」

I was found by a trio of seniors. Perhaps they were originally close to the student council room

Furthermore, the number increased one by one, and by the time I realised, I was already surrounded.

「Hehehe… As the president said, he is riddled with wounds!」

「Sorry, but I can’t let a first-year take away the victory!」

「This is a real battle. Don’t say it’s cowardly…」

They came at me with confident smiles and soul dress in hand.

(Damn, there’s nowhere to run… But there should be only a few minutes left until the end of the Thousand Blade Shadow Festival…)

If it’s just a few more minutes, I can do it!
