Chapter 226 - Death Game! Who’s the Last One?!

"Heh… hehehe…"

Aina felt like she was about to break down completely.

This isn't scientific!

It's just a toy lie detector—why are they using it like some torture device?!

Yes, this game didn't require talking, but that detector wasn't even a real polygraph!

It just measured heart rate!

And right now, there was no way she could answer that question calmly.

She felt like no matter what answer she gave, the second she touched that thing—it would zap her.

She was way too nervous!

Aina wanted to complain on behalf of the toy's inventor. A device this dangerous should've been priced so high that these idiots couldn't afford it.

"Aina, it's your turn now~"

Azusa called out. To help everyone understand the game better, they decided to test it with Tokita-senpai's question.

Now it was Aina's turn to place her coin.

Gulp...

Looking at the scarred and battered lie detector, Aina felt like it was surrounded by an evil black aura.

Absolutely not!

No matter what, she couldn't let her feelings be exposed!

Even if it was anonymous—no way!

What should she do?!

In the face of life-threatening circumstances, Aina's brain was working at full capacity, running against time, it frantically analysed the situation from every possible angle.

It really was a good game, but this question was just too much!

Damn it, why did the senpai have to ask such an embarrassing one?

Wait—she got it!

Aina suddenly looked up. She had just realized a fatal flaw in the game!

A flaw that, while dangerous, was better than exposing herself.

She walked over to the senpai with a grim expression.

"Senpai, there's a problem with this game!"

"A problem?"

The three senpai looked puzzled. They didn't see anything wrong with the game—it was quite fun.

Seeing their confusion, Aina didn't beat around the bush.

"This game… has nothing to do with alcohol!"

!!!

The senpai's expressions changed instantly. Only now did they realize what was missing.

This game had no booze!

Must've been the effects of drinking too much earlier. They totally forgot something so important!

Tokita: "This is a major issue."

Kotobuki: "Good thing you noticed!"

Azusa: "We need to fix this ASAP!"

"Phew…"

Seeing their reactions, Aina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alright, now she didn't have to face that damned lie detector.

"It'd be even better without the drinking!"

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c)

I just hope I don't drink too much this time… otherwise, I really won't be able to face Iori!

"Should we switch to another game...? Though this one still seems fun."

Azusa seemed troubled. It felt hard to incorporate a drinking component into this game.

"How about we do it like this instead?"

Just in time, the brains of the operation—Kamishiro—stepped up!

"We don't need to change this game. Let's just add a 'majority' guessing game to it."

"Majority?"

Everyone looked at Kamashiro in confusion, waiting for an explanation.

"The so-called majority game is like this: each person guesses whether the answer for majority is yes or no and places their coins.

One group bets there are more heads, the other more tails. Then we reveal the results. The losing side drinks!"

"Oh, that's pretty good!"

Azusa excitedly ruffled Kamashiro's head. As expected, Kamishiro always has clever ideas.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully after hearing the rules, indicating they understood.

Even those who didn't really get it nodded along after seeing the others do it.

Can't let them think I'm an idiot!

Iori figured as long as he just followed instructions, he'd be fine—no need to understand it!

"Alright, if no one has objections, let's continue. If there are any questions, then about the previous—"

Kamashiro was about to go back to the previous question, but the stare from behind him stopped him dead in his tracks. 

He turned slightly and glanced out of the corner of his eye—only to see Aina giving him a look like a murderer, seething with endless resentment.

'I already added dranking just to avoid that last question, and now you're coming up with another way that involves drinking and public humiliation? What the hell is wrong with you?!'

"..."

Kamashiro immediately read the room and changed his tone, "Uh… Let's have Nanaka-nee ask the next question instead…"

He handed over the right to ask questions to Nanaka, who had somehow appeared beside him without him noticing. He was afraid he might get carried away and cause trouble if he kept doing it himself.

More importantly…

His soft flesh was still in Nanaka nee's hands!

Only after handing the question over did she let him go.

Terrifying…

Nanaka-nee in this state was seriously scary… Kamashiro suddenly thought maybe burning the erotic books and Kitahara together might not have been just talk.

"Ara, is it really okay for me to ask the question?"

Nanaka clapped her hands innocently as she looked around at everyone, smiling like usual, as if nothing had changed.

"Of course!"

"No problem at all!"

Before anyone else could answer, Iori and Aina jumped in. Compared to Kamashiro and Azusa, those two demons Nanaka was practically an angel!

They could already imagine it: Nanaka's questions would probably be something about daily life, school, or hobbies.

Super easy stuff!

Those kinds of questions wouldn't be emotionally taxing at all. They'd just need to focus on the game afterward!

But the very next second, they regretted it.

Because Nanaka's question was—

"Are you a virgin?"

Aina, Iori: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ?!

The two stared at Nanaka in shock. The big sister in front of them was still smiling like always but this time her smile had turned into full-on squinting eyes.

This kind of bombshell question really came from the same bashful Nanaka who used to turn red at anything risqué?!

Iori vaguely remembered the time Nanaka san walked in on him and the senpai watching porn while cleaning and had looked so flustered.

What the hell happened to you since then?!

…She lost Chisa.

Kamashiro's mouth twitched, and he looked at Iori with a mix of pity and sympathy. This question was clearly aimed at confirming something.

He knew Kitahara and Chisa had a pure relationship.

But unfortunately, this was an anonymous game.

Kamashiro suspected more questions targeting Kitahara would follow.

Poor guy…

(λ?_??)

"Hahaha, nice Nanaka!"

Azusa threw her arm around Nanaka's shoulder excitedly. She had been bracing herself for some bland question—but the always-shy Nanaka actually gave her a pleasant surprise!

If that's the case… maybe getting a little clingy like this isn't a problem, right~?

With that thought, Azusa tightened her grip on Nanaka's arm, like she wanted to melt into her.

Nanaka didn't seem to mind and kept smiling gently at Iori.

As for the other senpai, while a bit surprised, it was only because the question came from Nanaka—

For them, if it was a question about themselves, there was nothing they couldn't answer.

Kouhei also thought it was fine—after all, it was anonymous. No one would know who answered what.

Only Chisa wanted to flee the moment she heard the question but her sister and Azusa stopped her.

"No running off, Chii-chan~ You have to participate in club activities enthusiastically~"

"Hahaha, that's right! And if you leave, we'd only have eight people left. The majority game works best with an odd number."

"..."

Chisa shook her head frantically. She had zero desire to join such a stupid game!

But for some reason, her always-doting sister seemed like a different person this time. She didn't let her go, and instead worked hard to keep her there...

And so, Chisa was reluctantly handed a coin.

Under the watchful eye of the lie detector, everyone answered honestly with their coins.

This question didn't even require much thought…

Next up was the majority guessing game!

Everyone had to write down which side they thought had more.

Kamashiro carefully studied the group, a lazy grin tugging at his lips.

This might be tricky for others, but for a battle-hardened man like himself? Child's play!

Don't underestimate his "hundred kills" achievement!

Even on a crowded street full of strangers, he could guess right with 50% accuracy!

And these people? People he spent every day with?

Kamashiro's gaze swept across the group—he already had his answer.

First: the two musclehead senpai!

Tokita-senpai had clearly stated he had a girlfriend. Kamashiro couldn't believe this musclebound guy hadn't gone there once they got together.

And then there was Kotobuki-senpai!

As the most popular bartender in the club's bar, even if he was clueless about relationships—

There's no way he was still a virgin!

Kamashiro knew far too well what rich women were capable of. They struck before you even saw them coming and could light a man's fire with ease.

Don't even try to argue!

This is based on Kamashiro's personal experience!

Thinking back to his bartender days in Tokyo, Kamashiro got a little nostalgic.

Those girls were… really aggressive.

Of course, as a star bartender, Kamashiro was quite picky.

The ones he went home with were always young and vibrant types.

Though, when staring at the ceiling, they'd often realize they were the prey all along.

But by then, it didn't really matter who was the prey.

As for the other rich women drawn to Kamashiro, they'd go for someone else.

One of Kamashiro's former coworkers ended up caught by a rich lady and skipped decades of struggle.

When he quit, he and chatting with Kamashiro about the "flower language of steel wool."

Endurance and prosperity!

To that, Kamashiro could only say—brilliant.

So philosophical!

Thinking of that coworker, Kamashiro couldn't help glancing at Kotobuki-senpai again.

Yep, with Kotobuki's body, he could take on three Kamashiros.

Three times the endurance and prosperity!

Now all he needed were three rich women.

Then there's Azusa nee...

Kamashiro knew her too well. At first, he'd thought she was some kind of playgirl.

Turns out, she just talked a big game. In reality, she was still a virgin!

She'd admitted it herself while they were in bed once.

Kamashiro was a bit surprised, but he believed her without a doubt—there was no reason to lie about something like that.

As for why, despite sharing a bed with Azusa nee so often, nothing ever happened...

Well… maybe they were both holding back?

A kind of mutual denial, perhaps.

They both believed that as long as they didn't cross that line, they could keep interacting normally.

But is that really how it works?

Maybe that line would disappear entirely before long.

Kamashiro shook his head—better not to dwell on Azusa nee for now.

The game was the priority!

And finally, Nanaka-nee.

His so-called "first love."

Back when Kamashiro first came to GB, he'd already done a thorough investigation...

Nanaka-nee never had a boyfriend!

Ten years had gone by, and aside from senpai, there weren't any guys she was particularly close with!

Which made things very clear now—

Only the two senpais and himself had lost their virginity!

What?

Kitahara and the others?!

"..."

(???)

Kamishiro shot a glance at Kitahara and the others who were still deep in thought, then turned away with scorn.

He'd say it outright today!

Just look at these guys—especially Kitahara!

There's no way any of them would ever lose their virginity during college!!!

If he's wrong, he'll quit drinking on the spot!

Go enjoy your romantic college life with your little porn mags, loser!

Having sent his "blessings" to Kitahara, Kamashiro confidently wrote down his answer and slapped it face-down on the table.

The others also finished writing theirs.

Among them, both Iori and Aina had gone through similar reasoning to Kamashiro.

But!

They automatically assumed that Azusa san and that bastard Kamashiro had already slept together.

I mean, come on—

A pervy beast and a seductive Onee san living with just a wall between them, often sleeping over at each other's place…

Of course something happened!

If it didn't, they'd chug every bottle of liquor in the bar!

Even including Azusa, that only made four people who'd had sex.

So, their final answers ended up matching Kamashiro's.

That meant the final tally was:

More people without sexual experience: Iori, Aina, Chisa, Kamashiro, Nanaka

More people with sexual experience: Tokita, Kotobuki, Azusa, Kohei

"Looking at it this way, the ones who think more people are virgins actually outnumber the rest."

Kamashiro glanced at the results, a bit puzzled by Azusa nee's pick. How could she get something so obvious wrong?

He didn't believe for a second that Azusa nee didn't understand the situation. So… could this be a trap?

Kamashiro knew just how chaotic Azusa nee could be—he didn't trust her at all.

Azusa, noticing Kamashiro's suspicious glance, winked playfully.

Yup. Kamashiro was now sure.

There's definitely some plot brewing!

He started to regret what he had written. What if Azusa nee was cheating?

And with her insane composure, the lie detector wouldn't catch a thing!

To be safe, Kamashiro meekly asked the senpais, "Uh, if we lose and drink, how about we go with sours?"

(Sours = syrup + fruit juice + hard liquor)

Hearing that, the two senpais nodded. They weren't picky about what kind of alcohol—as long as it met one condition:

"Doesn't matter, as long as it can catch fire."

"…?!"

What kind of sour can you light on fire?!

That's just straight-up hard liquor!

Whatever.

Kamashiro sighed. No use worrying about the drinks anymore—his answer was solid.

Even if Azusa nee cheated, that would make four people tops. There were five virgins.

So there's no way to lose!

Confidently, Kamashiro lifted the handkerchief.

5 to 4 — More people with sexual experience.

At the moment the result was revealed, Kamashiro froze in place. He didn't even have time to figure out who the extra person was.

He turned to confront Azusa nee, ready to accuse her of cheating.

He wanted to win!

But Azusa nee, as if anticipating this, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Suppository~"

Kamashiro froze.

Oh… that suppository. The kind you insert there…

But that shouldn't count as sexual experience, right?!

Still cheating!

Azusa saw his indignant expression, licked her lips and whispered again:

"Not just any suppository~ It was inserted by your very own hands, little Kamishiro~"

"Your fingers, back then… stirred around and—"

"I get it!!"

Kamashiro cut her off immediately.

No more! Any further and this scene's getting banned!

Let's just… talk about this at home!

Since it was his hand, he reluctantly accepted Azusa nee's twisted logic.

But then—who's the other person?!

Kamashiro looked around at the remaining group:

Kitahara, Aina, Nanaka, Chisa, Kohei…

None of them looked like they'd done anything!

This is bad. He was even more confused now. Whoever it was, it'd be a huge shock!

If it was Aina—pure love just got nuked.

If it was Kitahara—he might as well not exist anymore.

If it was Chisa… Nanaka might just blacken on the spot.

Kohei? Does self-service even count?

Nanaka? Please don't let it be Nanaka!!!
