They were playing dumb here, and the senior who knew that Natsume Rin would cheat came to her senses. Just as she was about to condemn this guy, she heard the girl say: "His method of cheating is to remember all the cards. This method cannot be punished. We can only rely on people with good memory to remember. Whoever feels suitable can sit up."
Natsume Rin didn't say anything, but she felt that Yukino was just talking nonsense.
He was clearly just taking advantage of his good memory. How could that be called cheating?
After the girls were surprised, there was still a brief exchange between the two who were interested in going on stage, and the senior girl still sat in the last seat.
"Natsume-san, we both have the same goal, so it's okay for you to become the landlord, right?"
To be on the safe side, she did not choose the poker mode that tests the memory the most, but instead chose the one with the most obvious numerical advantage.
"No problem, come on." Natsume Rin smiled confidently, but she was actually feeling very nervous inside.
No matter how good he is, he can't possibly conjure up a few more cards for himself. That wouldn't be relying on memory, but outright cheating.
Especially after seeing the three hole cards revealed in the first round, he could no longer hold back his bitter face and gritted his teeth as he sorted out his hand.
"You will lose!"
"Yeah, but not in this round. Come on." Yukino encouraged him emotionlessly.
As expected, his already not-so-good hand was made even worse after he got three more cards. Moreover, Yukino, whose memory was no less than his, intercepted him, and in the end he could only watch helplessly as his senior played the last card.
"Oh ho ho..."
"Forget about the victory speeches. Just ask if you have anything to say." Natsume Rin looked at her senior and urged her impatiently.
He felt that the best way to win was to ban Yukino, as her way of playing cards was too annoying.
"What a bad attitude, but I like it." Kasumigaoka Utaha was a pervert as soon as she opened her mouth. "It's still early, and it's not appropriate to ask all the questions at this time. Junior, do you still have a girlfriend now?"
Natsume Rin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the girls present, especially the expressionless Shiina Mahiru.
"Have."
"Don't say that too soon, you might be gone soon." Yukino interrupted.
"..."
Sensing that there was something going on, Kasumigaoka Utaha became more alert, and even Shiina Mahiru's eyes became a little more lively.
"Go on." Natsume Rin said this and lowered her head to collect the cards.
Perhaps his grief and anger turned into luck. His luck with cards this time was so good that after he turned over those three cards, his fate was almost sealed.
Yukino exchanged glances with Kasumigaoka Utaha and simply gave up playing any cards, allowing Natsume Rin to easily take back the city.
"Can anyone ask?" Natsume Rin relaxed and smiled proudly.
"Of course it's no problem, but it's better not to ask Eriri-senpai, she can't get involved."
"Hey, you guys."
Eriri, who had almost figured out their relationship, encountered contempt again, but after Natsume Rin looked at her with a smile, she shrank back in fear.
"Ahem, Natsume-kun, it's better to ask them. Just pretend that the senior doesn't exist."
"Coward." Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose arm was pulled by her, complained about her.
Humph, you are not a coward, but you pursue her like this even though you know she has a girlfriend, and you are also pursuing her like this, junior Natsume. Isn't this clearly cheating on her?
They are not good people!
"My problem."
The situation kept changing on Shiina and Kasumigaoka's bodies. Shiina Mahiru had no extra expression, while Kasumigaoka Utaha looked eager to try. Thinking of the senior's theory and his own curiosity, he gave the first chance to the senior.
"Kasumigaoka-senpai, I am very curious as to why you insisted on holding onto me. If this is the result of my helping you, I sincerely apologize."
Chapter 179 Hot Springs
Natsume Rin really wanted to know why the senior was pursuing him so passionately.
He had tried to ask several times, but was fooled by the nympho every time. He couldn't force her to tell him her true thoughts, so now that he had the chance, Natsume Rin took the opportunity to ask.
Shiina Mahiru, who also knew the relationship between them, also looked over, wanting to know why this cold and aloof senior became like this in front of Natsume Rin.
Even though they met in other places in the school, she was still the lazy and elegant third-year senior, but when she was in front of Natsume Rin, she immediately turned into a fangirl.
"It's somewhat related to that time, but not very important." Kasumigaoka Utaha curled her long hair. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled with evil humor and lay directly on the table.
As the big sister with the best figure among all the girls, her plump breasts are enough to attract attention even when she is lying down.
"Because I just like Natsume-san."
"There has to be a reason, right?"
"Well, to be honest, in my career, there has never been anyone who could make me lose confidence and inspire me to stand up again. My junior brother is barely one of them. I feel that such a person is very good, and I can't help but want to be with him."
After thinking for a moment, the senior student actually gave a seemingly normal reason.
Natsume Rin was silent, and Yukino started to analyze: "A strong-minded mentality?"
"Don't categorize my pure impulse as admiration for the strong. Besides, I've already said it, let's continue playing cards." Kasumigaoka Utaha sat up straight, took off the cards stuck on her chest, put her hands on her legs in stockings, and looked extremely solemn.
The senior schoolmate before looked like a seductress who enchanted everyone, but with a changed expression and posture, she looked like a goddess sitting on the altar.
If you change out of your casual clothes, you'll look more like one.
The game continues, and the following battle is probably a microcosm of the previous one. Unless Natsume Rin is extremely lucky, Yukinoshita Yukino can defeat him with her memory.
After being asked several strange questions such as who she really likes, whether she wants to have a harem, and what price she is willing to pay, Shiina Mahiru finally replaced the position of the senior.
"My memory is no worse than Xiaoxue's, so you better be careful."
She actually reminded the other party before taking action. Shiina Mahiru is indeed an archangel. Natsume Rin was almost moved to tears.
Then it was a loss.
She was not exaggerating at all. It was obvious that Kasumigaoka Utaha's memory was not as good as hers. Moreover, she had just sat there and watched for so long that she had a unique understanding of the rules and playing methods.
"Xiaoxue, let me ask this time." Shiina Mahiru whispered.
Yukino looked at the pitiful Natsume Rin, and then at the determined Shiina Mahiru, not knowing who to sympathize with.
"Then let me have the next one."
Yukino gave up this opportunity and took the next opportunity to ask questions in advance.
Their tone made it seem as if Natsume Rin was a gambler bound to lose, and that they could only slowly squeeze out the answers she was interested in.
It's really unpleasant to be looked down upon!
"Natsume, what do you think of me now? You have to tell me the truth, right?" She asked others worriedly. After getting a positive answer, she looked at Natsume Rin, wanting to hear the truth from him.
"Are you asking about your opinion of Shiina-san?" Natsume Rin carefully tried to find a loophole.
"It's okay if you're still trying to be sly at this time." Mahiru smiled indulgently.
Of course she knew the difference between the two, but she didn't want to waste Natsume Rin's cleverness.
"A gentle archangel, a considerate classmate, the best neighbor..." He tried to fool her, but he seemed so weak under the other person's smile.
"Well, the most important thing is the person I like."
Natsume Rin sighed and expressed his opinion clearly.
Alas, this is the answer she wanted, just be satisfied!
Shiina Mahiru pursed her lips and stood up: "You guys can play later, I'm going to rest."
"I won't play either."
"plus one."
As she left, the others stood up one after another, leaving Yukino alone feeling cheated.
"I haven't asked a single question yet." She had been paving the way for her senior before, and when she finally won the opportunity, it was borrowed by Shiina Mahiru, and then no one wanted to play anymore.
"Buyer, I will answer any questions you have." Natsume Rin is still very kind.
The main thing is that he and Yukino can't think of anything worth hiding.
"Look, the snow outside has stopped!"
There were loud shouts of girls coming from the window. Ying Lili wiped the white mist off the glass, looked at the scenery and crowd outside, and greeted everyone excitedly.
When everyone was very happy, it was the senior student who stepped forward to stop them.
"There must be a lot of people outside at this time. Why not take a hot spring bath now and go out to play after you have relieved your body's fatigue?"
As an independent room, there is a small hot spring here, which is obviously more attractive than the public hot spring that everyone can go to.
"Senior, why do you always have to consider efficiency?" Natsume Rin complained.
Of course he would have some opinions. There would definitely be no share of the promised hot spring for him. Would he be asked to sit in the room and wait?
"Efficiency is important, but are you angry, Natsume-san?" Kasumigaoka Utaha patted Natsume Rin's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Or do you want to bathe with everyone else?"
"Neither." Natsume Rin was not fooled and wanted to give other reasons, but Eriri stood up at this time.
"Natsume, I'll give you the key to my room. You can go to the hot spring over there."
The reason disappeared all of a sudden. After Natsume Rin asked for the address, she left the room humming a song, which made them laugh.
"No matter how special they act, they are just high school students." They went to change clothes with bath towels in their hands, talking about Natsume Rin on the way.
"I'm really not talking about you guys. There are so many monsters in the first grade this year. I thought one person like Kasumigaoka Utaha would be enough."
Eriri, who was the fastest, had already tied a flower on the collar of her yukata, and with satisfaction let her golden twin ponytails fall on her shoulders, she started to complain about these monsters.
"We are all normal high school students, right?" Shiina Mahiru's efficiency was almost the same, but her bath towel seemed shorter, revealing her long legs.
Noticing other people's gazes and taking this very seriously, Mahiru carefully pulled her yukata down, exposing her chest skin again.
Yukinoshita Yukino was not concerned about her skin color, but the part of her body that she lacked the most. When she found that even the usually inconspicuous Shiina classmate had a larger exposed part than her, the girl sighed sadly.
It’s all Natsume Rin’s fault!
Chapter 180: Will You Still Like Him?
There were more people bathing on the girls' side, so it took more time. Natsume Rin came to Eriri's house, found her yukata, put it on, sat in the hot spring, and after enjoying it for about twenty minutes, she felt her body relaxed.
By the time he had blow-dried his hair, put on his clothes, and slowly returned to his senior's room, the room was still very quiet, with only sounds coming from the hot spring.
