The next morning, the sun says shines through the windows in Yui's house, it was a peaceful moment...but, it doesnt stays that long
A loud thump on the ground shakes the whole house, followed by a rustle sounds like machinary
The Land Mafia is here...
Yui then slowly walks towards the front door, from behind it, she can hear the Land Mafia voice from out there
"Hey! Yui Nishimura! Pay up your debt to us! Or else we will destroy your land compeletely!" Says to what it seems to be one of the member
Yui was extremely scared, but then...a hand on her shoulder, she was surprised but when she looks behind her, he found Kouhei, still wrapped in his blanket
"Hey, Nishimura-san, is that them?" Says Kouhei, still half-asleep
Yui replied in a scared tone
"Yes...its them...i was...scared
Then, a loud voice was heared form outside
"If you dont open the door in 10 seconds, i will break into your house and just take you away as this month payment!"
Yui is getting more terrified, she was frozen in her place, she cant do anything, even her breath are ragged, but just as the Mafia is counting
Kouhei then unwrapped the blanket around his body and walks past Yui towards the door, when he finally infront of the door, he opens the door
"Il take it from here..." Says Kouhei walk past Yui
In outside, Kouhei eyes is a bit widens to see a huge mecha was right infront of Yui's house, followed with an may of Androidus behind it, carrying an mechanized rifle
Then, the hull of the head of the mecha opens, then, a huge-hardened Androidus emerges from the mecha, and jumps to the ground
From Kouhei can know, this Androidus must be the leader of The Land Mafia, but Kouhei doesnt scared by its tall and menancing sight
"Ah, hello gentleman! What seems to brought you up all here?" Ask Kouhei with relaxed tone
Then, the Mafia Leader answers in old robotic tone
"Who are you? Are you Nishimura Yui's friends?"
Kouhei replied with a dramatic and heroic tone, almost like an anime character
"Hah! Sure i am! My name is Tanaka Kouhei! The Best NEET in the world!" Says him as he put his hands over his face with a cool pose
Then, Kouhei speak again
"I see that youre trying to force my friends here to pay up a land that you never owned! How despicable!"
The Leader then replied
"Shes in our teritorry, so she must to pay up-"
But then, Kouhei cut the Leader off
"Thats why im here in order to stop you and your evil actions!"
Then, the Leader answers in a intimidation tone
"And...how do you intended to stop me and my subordinates?"
Kouhei then response with full of confidence
"Were going to play a game! If i lost, you can kill me, takes Yui and her house away!"
"But! If you lose, i will get your memories and all of your Androidus knowledge, plus! you and all of you will die instantly!" Says Kouhei that shocks everyone
But then, the Leader let out a laugh, his eyes turns from a white color into a red color, indicating a change of mode
"How naive.. "
"We Androidus are way smarter than you, filthy humans..."
Upon hearing the leader's word, Kouhei camt help but chuckles a bit from amusement, then, he steady his postures, his eyes stares to the leader's mechanical eyes
"Well..thats what you think...arent it? Well, we find out about that..."
The leader was compeletely amused by this, then he speaks again
"Fine then, i will play with you, before i turn your head into one of my trophy..."
Kouhei despite hearing this, he was undeterred, then, he speaks again with full-confidence
Kouhei then speaks, hia voice is relaxed and confident
"Oh well, i let you try...if you can, but...anyways, what game we should play anyways?"
Then, the leader of land mafia answers the questions with full confident, then...all of his peers pulls out an Remi Card from their pocket
"Were gonna play...Remi Card Games"
Kouhei intrest peaked, his mood instantly changes into competitive
"Remi Card...huh? Oh well, nice pick"
"Now, only the rules remained unestablish..." Says Kouhei
Then, the Leader speak again
" if you caught cheated...you lose instantly"
Kouhei then speaks again
"Fine then..."
The Leader
"Now, with that being said..."
Then, both of them says the same word at the same time
"Lets start the game, shall we?"
"Lets start the game, shall we?"
Then, Yui's hand grabbed Kouhei's shoulder, her face was panicking
"Kouhei! Are you sure about this? If you lose...then...you and i will..."
Then, Kouhei grab Yui's shoulder, give it an reassuring squeeze, then he speaks in a reassuring tone
"Dont worry...Nishimura-san, my specialty is..."never lost a single game in my life"..."
Then, all the land mafia peers starts to shuffling the cards at insane speed, they also starts to rotate the cards to each other in a motion at extreme speed
Then, Kouhei starts to analyze the land mafia peers card movement and speed
"There is 520 cards, his peers shuffling speed is 48 cards/seconds, they rotate the cards around them by trows them into each other shuffling hands at 149,72km/hour"
"The probability of getting a 10 is 13/520 in this game is, probability of getting an Jack is 7/520, probability of getting an Queen is 4/520, around , probability of getting an ace is 2/520, and lastly...chance of getting an Joker is..."
And then, the shuffling ends, the leader was very excited about this and trying to intimidate Kouhei
"Are you ready to lose? Pity human?"
Kouhei then replies with an sarcasm
"Lose? Never in my vocalbulary"
Then, the peers start to give them an a set of deck for them to play with, then, 4 members emerging into one to built an iron table with 2 chairs in both side
The leader and Kouhei settle down in their seats, then they look at each other
The leader speaks with a full-confidence
"I will ask you again...are you ready to lose?"
Kouhei just chuckled upon hearing that, then his blue eyes staring at the leader's red mechanical eye
"Lose? Heh, never heard of it"
Both of them then laughing at the same time, each of them able to read each others mind perfectly...or atleast it is in the surface
Yui who witnessing this was terrified by the sight, both of them have a dark smirk on both of their face, but most importantly...
"Please Kouhei..."
"Win this game for both of us!" Says Yui in her heart with hope
Then, as the game about to begin in 5 seconds after one of the member of the Mafia give the green light...
Meanwhile in those 5 seconds, there is a moment of both Kouhei and The Leader analyzing each other
Kouhei analyze the situations, then, he noticed that each card that the Mafia have, it have an microscopic tiny mark on the corner of back side of the card
"That mark...that means the leader already know which one if the card so he can take the right card and get a huge advantage around 40% considering that he take 3 pure random card but 2 set up card by his members"
"This is already cheating..."
But, Kouhei seems to not borthered by it at all
"But...i bet it will be fun, maybe i will finally have an....intresting match"
Meanwhile, the mafia leader looking at Kouhei, he knows Kouhei have noticed the marks on the back of the cards, the leader was amused
"That boy, i know he will notice that microscopic mark, he knows its cheating, but he doesnt call it out, because i know hes craving an intresting match"
"But...thats your blunder, young boy, youre too confidence in your skills, well, lets see how far you can go..."
"Judging by this young man eyes, he might noticed the mark on the top of the left side, which is the 2nd biggest mark that are small but not well hidden, intentionally used to lured him into my trap..."
"Heh, its fine, this boy seems to not knowing about the other 4 marks that have their own decipher code, he doesnt know the formula to solve it and know what card value of the card"
Meanwhile...it turns out, Kouhei's eyes is not 50%/50% focused between the leader and the cards in leader's hand, it turns out, its the Leader's card and the card on the deck
"Good, now he thinks i didnt know his trick, but...its kinda hard to solve, i dont know what this symbols means, but ive figured out the pattern"
"First, from what ive read from one the books in Yui's library, Android Race have 4 neccesary chips that brings them alive and gave them this beyond human abilities"
"Androidus Master-Chip in their head, gives them that extreme intellgence, Anaotomus Sircuit to sync & control their body with absolute accuracy to their Master-Chip"
"Then, the Empatitus Chip that allows them to instantly reads living being emotions and analyze it in seconds, no...not even seconds, miliseconds or even lower"
"And lastly...Hive-Uni Chip, that allows them to connecting their mind instantly real-time, so, pattern are low left-high right-low right and lastly is their high left, their Androidus Master-Chip since it follows their chips rank of priority"
"Now i just have to decode each of the symbols, this is my only way to outplay their cheating!"
Then, the green light was on, the peers that roles are the card dealer offers The Leader and Kouhei to either draw card from top of the card stock or from discard pile
The Leader replied to his peers
"Il take the one from discard pile"
Then, the leader's hands then goes for the cards on discard pile, the leader's hand grab the top of the pile, Kouhei who witnessing this immediatly do an analysis
"Why the discard pile? Wait, maybe its the hint of the each mark symbolize, okay let see..."
Then, Kouhei eyes immediatly 100% focused on between the leader's reaching hand and the discard cards pile, he notices the symbol beside the mark and start analyze it
He notice the marks on the card: low left is two v on top of each other, the high right is 2 straight line next to each other, the low right is 2 dot and the high left is symbol of times in Android's writing
Then, Kouhei just figured out the way to read the microscopic marks symbols on the leader's cards
"Wait...are those...? It means, those lines represent the card's symbols, which this one is a Heart, then 2 times what of the heart represent in Android's Principle...So, that means he just take 2 Heart card, huh?" Kouhei's in his mind, finally figuring out the pattern and the symbols of the mark on the leader's cards
Now, he knows every hidden card value because he remembers all of the mark on each of the card when the Land Mafia members still shuffling it 6 minutes ago
Then, the leader finally grab his chosen card, then, the dealer ask Kouhei which he will take card from the top of stock or teh discard pile
But Kouhei simply reply to the dealer
"Nah, im good, in confident with my cards...no need to add another card"
The leader was amused by Kouhei's decision, he thinks that Kouhei was just too confident
"Hey, young boy, are you that confident with your deck?"
Kouhei reply the leader's question with relaxed tone
"Ah, yeah, im just confident, its either i lose and get myself killed or i got your memory and knowledge after you died"
The leader smirks at Kouhei's word
"Youre really an unique one...boy, im compeletely intrigued..."
Kouhei answered back with a smug tone
"Anyway, i gonna reveal my card first"
Then, Kouhei reveals 2 from 5 of his card, it was an 10 Club and Clover Jack
Then, the leader reveals only 1 of his card to minimize the risk of losing, or so he thoughts, then, when he reveal that one cards of his, it turns iut to be an Diamond King
Then...Kouhei smirks when his prediction of the leader card reveal and card value guess via the microscopic marks pattern and cryptic code was right on the spot
Then...Kouhei reveal one of his card, and it was an Queen Heart, reveals Kouhei's plan to make an 4 of kinds combinations
The leader was surprised to see this, he doesnt considering an scenario of Kouhei able to guess the marks pattern and the meaning behind the cyrptic code of the mark
But he doesnt panicked, then, he decided to discard 3 of his card from 4 remaining cards and pull out his last card
Then...Kouhei thought to himself
"After i make this combination of 4, since i have king then i have 10, jack and queen, the Leader is gonna pull out an Ace...and just then..."
Then, the leader reveal his last card, it was in fact an Ace, the Leader plan is to make an Royal Flush from the beginning
The leader laughs
"Heh, young boy...it seems...that ive win...Royal Flush, the strongest built..."
But, Kouhei just laughs at the leader's declaration as he just make a mistakes
But then, Kouhei reveals his last card, which is...Joker
It turns out, the reason why Kouhei decide to not add a card to his desk is...because he knows all the cards value and all the leader's tactics methid and plans the moment he decide to add a card from the discard pile...
Yui whos witnessing the game is shocked by the result
"He...he...he won?"
Then, suddenly, one by one of the mafia leader's peer start to get shutdowned one by one, the leader is confused by this and demanding an answer from Kouhei
Then...Kouhei lift his Joker card and mutter a word, as also his light blue eyes showing an star pattern pupils
"Special Ability: Meta Space"
Then, all the Mafia Land members are pointing their mechanized rifle at Kouhei, but Kouhei just simply put his hands in his pocket and start to explain how one of his ability works
He explain in a calm but teasing tone
"My ability allows me to forcing a vow with Fate itself and bend it into a contract the same as the vow"
"Well, in this case, "Lets start the game" is the word that locks Fate with the rules are are established and we agreed on..."
"I know youre going to break your vow, and just kill me and take Yui away, arent you?"
The Leader was shocked to find that Kouhei actually have found out his intentions of betrayal since the beginning
Then, he continues again
"Ive anticipating all of this match since the beginning, the posibbility of your cheating, your potential betrayal and even your every card trick, ive anticipate it"
"Do you think your discarding card method and repented draw is going to works on me? Sorry, but i think not"
"I...Win"
Then...the Leader powers goes off, all of the Mafia Land members follows too
Meanwhile, Kouhei start to shaking, the flood of the android leader's knowledge and memory starts to be absorbed by his mind
He sees the leader's first time he was built, all the knowledge that he have learned, his backstory as a "Failed Androidus", discarded war Androidus soldier
The reveals of the war around 7 years ago, nailed his deductions about a great war fhat had happened in this world
It turns out, that the Humanity and several other races are going against other several other races in the world in a huge global war, he witness all the wars battle that the Mafia Leader have gone through
He found out how bloody that war is, the humanity at one point was almost wiped out,
Kouhei instantly recognize thia experience as PTSD, but in Android's race senses, which maybe impacting their Empatitus Chip and Androidus Chip
He dived extremely deep to the Android Mafia Leader's memories, he experience every single seconds of the memories, he counted every seconds he was in the memories
He was walkng in the mafia's leaders memories, he saws everything that the Mafia Leader have gone through, he saw how many times he and his companions are brought back to life everytime theyre killed, he counted how many, and he got the answers
Kouhei mutters under his breath
"99 times...he was brought back 99 times, every after hes killed"
Suddenly, he was transported to an white room
In there, he meet Young Mafia Leader, he was sitting on a floor in the middle of the white room, holding into his mechanized rifle
Kouhei approaches him, now he understands the Leader's pain
Kouhei stands infront of the leader, pocketing his hand and speaks in a emphatetic tone to the leader
"So, this is your memories, huh? Well, i guess i know why you hates humanity so much, huh? Their spirit at the war, keeps the war from ending, made you and your companion suffers longer"
Kouhei continues
"You and your comrade are trown to the battlefield, over and over again, now i understands, sometimes war is not only make the losing side suffers, but sometimes, even the winning one too"
Kouhei then adds
"But, never sees your past, now youre about to be fully shutdowned, but, i have some reassuring word for you before you shutdowned"
Kouhei then speaks in a soft tone
"Youve suffers 45 Years in the war, thats not a short time, youve done a bad thing in your life while being a mafia, but now you regret it, dont you? Sometimes, regretting something in the end shows that youre still aware of your mistakes"
"Thats better than never..."
Then, the leader turns to look at Kouhei, then turns again to face the floor, his voice is weak
"This is the first time in my life that someone truly understands me, since the moment im born, im only a regular worker Androidus, or used as a disposable units in war"
Kouhei just smiled at the leader
"Ah, its nothing, really, sometimes, a mindless or an machine without a heart, can be more emphatetic than those who claims to have a heart in them"
"Emphathy never sees who you are, or where do you from, its see "do you need it or not", simple as that"
The leader was touched by what Kouhei just said to him, then...Kouhei puts a hand on his shoulders
"Oh well, rest well...soldier, youve done better than you think" Says Kouhei before
Then, the mafia leaders vanished to nothing in that memories, but hes able to mutters one last time to Kouhei
"Thank you...youre the only one who understands me, i was really..."
"Grateful..."
Then...after the memories finished, hes back at the reality, now Kouhei have the full memories and knowledge of The Android Mafia Leader, then he mutters under his breath
"7,282 745,926 seconds...thats 231 Years...his life...now i understands everything...what happens to him and this world"
After that...Kouhei turns to Yui and speaks
"Hey, Nishimura, Humanity is one of the lost country, right?
"Ye-yeah...and after that, the other winner race have more authority than Humanity in Nihingo in some sector- no, almost everything is only one sided...and this country, just a puppet state of an bigger non-human empire"
Then, Kouhei says something that blow her mind
"Oh well...Nishimura! You and me will save this country and those other of humanity's country!"
Yui, upon hearing this was shocked by this statement from Kouhei
"But...how?"
Then...Kouhei leans to a wall, and speaks in a casual tone
"Simple: gonna conquer the world and bring back the balance between races in the world by forming a group to do it"
Yui is shocked by this statement, she couldnt believe, a boy the same age as her, just got into this world, yet already have a goals big as that
Yui then ask Kouhei with curiousity
"Then...what will be our group name's are?"
Kouhei then speaks with full of determinations in his voice
"Well, since we will take over the world by our intellegence, well, a bit of our powers too, and also, for the names of our group, i have one "
Yui raise her eyebrows
"Eh? What is it?" Ask Oruvi with a curious tone
Then, Kouhei's lips turns into a confident smile
"The Players, and soon...you and me...we will conquer the world, and also...restore your beloved country..."
Then, Kouhei picks up one of the mechanized rifle
"Nishimura Yui, 76th Decendant Of Nihinese Imperial Family..."
