Chapter 1650: The winner and the loser (1/2)

Miboumi looked at Haru and said, ”There are 20 coins on the jar, and the rules are simple, right? As long as you spill the water, then you lose, and if something unexpected happens, such as the two of us can put all the coins on the glass, then we'll redo the gamble until there's a winner.”

Haru nodded since the rules were pretty much simple, and at the same time, he knew that it was impossible to put all the 20 coins on the glass since the more coins on the glass, the volume of water would rise, and the water would spill from the glass.

”Senpai, may I add other rules?” Haru asked.

”Oh? Let me hear it.”

Miboumi nodded.

”If one of the players is able to put all the coins in the jar on the glass first, then this person will be the winner. What do you think?” Haru said.

Miboumi raised his eyebrow and said, ”Isn't that unfair? I mean, the one that was given the first chance to put the coin to the glass is going to be the winner, right?”

”I mean, if we follow a routine, then one of us will put one coin one by one, and each of us will have 20 chances to put the coin on the glass.” Haru looked at Miboumi and said, ”It takes too much time.”

Miboumi thought for a while and nodded. ”It's good. I agree.” He agreed without hesitation since he knew that Haru would lose right after Haru put three or two coins on the glass.

”Then how about we start?” Haru said.

Miboumi nodded and said, ”Then as the first one, I'll give you an example.” He took one coin, then slowly dipped the coin on his glass before he let it go gently inside the water.

The coin fell down and landed on the bottom of the glass gently, creating a small ”clang” sound.

The student council was fairly quiet, and even though there was a school festival outside, the sound outside couldn't enter the student council room since it was located at a high place and quite far from the location of the school festival, even if the window was opened, which was why the sound of coin landed on the glass was heard by everyone in the student council room.

”It's your turn,” Miboumi said while looking at Haru.

”......”

They never talked about who would do it first, which was why they thought that Miboumi was quite sneaky at this moment.

Haru didn't think too much and nodded. He took five coins at the same time and stacked them with his fingers firmly.

”........”

Miboumi was startled, but then, he was laughing inwardly. In truth, he had another trick, and that trick was the coins that he had given to Haru.

Haru's coins were different from Miboumi's coins. Haru's coins were heavier, so just one or two coins would cause the water to overflow directly.

Miboumi thought that Haru was stupid since he thought that Haru had one or two tricks to give him enjoy this gamble, but it seemed that he was thinking too much, but it didn't really matter since he could get the position of the student council president faster.

Haru's face was very close to the glass, and his eyes were focussed on the glass, water, and the coins. He breathed slowly, then dipped the five coins that he stacked together on the surface of the water gently.

Everyone was also looking at Haru, and there was a strong tension around them. After all, if Haru lost this bet, Kirari would lose her position as a student council president. Hence, Runa and Ririka were quite nervous somehow, but on the other hand, Kirari was strangely calm, staring at her man without a doubt in her eyes.

There was sweat on Haru's forehead and his expression was quite solemn. He relaxed his fingers slightly, then dropped the five coins on his fingers.

It was so quiet, and there was almost no sound, but when the five coins landed on the glass and caused a ”clang” sound, everyone quickly woke up and was startled when they saw that Haru was able to put five coins on the glass of water at the same time without causing the water on the glass to spill.

Haru looked at Miboumi with a smile and said, ”It's your turn.”

(BGM: Kakegurui OST - High Strung).

”....”

Miboumi looked at Haru in disbelief, staring at him and then at the glass. He had tampered with Haru's glass and coins before, but why was Haru able to put all the five coins in easily?

In reality, Haru should lose, but why was Haru still able to look at him with that smile?

Miboumi didn't know, but he knew that it wasn't the time to lose his calm and knew that even though Haru was able to put five coins at the same time to the glass and didn't even spill the water at that, he knew that it should be the limit. Once Haru put another coin, then, without doubt, Haru was going to lose!

Miboumi took a deep breath and calmed himself. He knew that he needed to do this calmly and steadily. He couldn't hurry, and he couldn't be caught in his pace, so he took another coin and did the same as before, steadily, calmly, dropped the coin to his glass that was filled with water. He smiled, then looked at Haru.

”Your turn.”

Haru shook his head and said, ”You're going to lose this way, Senpai.” He then took another five coins and stacked them together again.

”!!!!”

Everyone, except for Kirari, was dumbfounded when they saw Haru's action.

Haru then did the same as before, slowly dipped the five coins that he stacked on his fingers before he let them, dropped on his glass that was filled with water.

*Clang!*

Until the sound of the coins hitting against the glass was heard, everyone recovered, but there was still a trace of shock, and they were lost for words when they saw Haru's action.
