Chapter 14: GAME PART II
I won in an unexpected way.
Superly unexpected that it's like I witnessed an miracle made my human.
This can't be happened by pure luck or pure skill alone.
"again?"
Come to think of it, it's a bet right?
"then it'll double the reward if I win again, right?"
If I can win the next game then the allowance will be 40 times more.
"hey, that's unfair"
"it's not, I won the race right? So I get to decide to double it or not, and as loser, follow the orders of the winner"
"I'm your superior, I tell you"
"the standard doesn't matter on a bets, only equality, equal gains equal losses"
"should I fire you on your first day?"
"if you can beat me on the next one then fine"
I'm getting conceited even on my first win
"game on"
We started our next game, and it still result as my win.
"uggh"
I'm starting to wonder if this is an act of her or she's just bad at it.
"hey"
She starts talking
"how about an game of 19?"
That'll decide by who comes that wins 10 first win.
"and we'll repeat the score back to zero?"
"no, why?"
It's kinda unfair to feel that we'll go back to zero when I've just won two races
And my allowance will go back to zero times.
If I didn't get to win once then my allowance will stay zero.
"ok, but if I win once your allowance will decrease by 20 times and if you win it'll increase your allowance by 20 times"
So meaning is, if I get to win 10 games with no loss is that I can get to have a 2 million yen?
That huge money is a dream of many,
But there's a flaw if I lose once, it'll decrease back to 1.8 million yen until mere 200k if I won by 9-10.
And if she wins 10 races with no loss, I won't be given an allowance for 10 whole months working like a slave.
That'll be hell for me and either way for her is no problem because she can give that much money and she gets someone to work for her anyway.
No matter the outcome won't change that I'll work for her huh.
Let's get this started now.
The result ended again with an 10-0
I'm now convinced that she's only bad at it, because if she is good then no way it'll end this
It didn't even reach near 19 round for it to be end.
I'm sorry to be merciless but an win is an win.
Now my allowance is going to be an 2 million yen each month.
"hope you remember the promise"
If she keeps it that is.
"uugh"
She's silent for a bit thinking.
"fine"
It's decided then.
Now, I probably don't need to work in my life these near month to come.
If I have an Normal life that is.
But I can't get enough when it's merely an 2 million yen.
Because I still need to fulfill my role for being alive.
"in one condition"
"hm?"
"teach me"
"what?"
"teach you what?"
I'm not quiet sure what she wants to learn from me.
"teach me how to win on this game"
So that's what it is huh, but.
"I don't know much about this myself though"
"your words doesn't match on what you did"
".... Haaaaaaaaaaa, alright"
There's nothing wrong with it though, but I really don't know much about it other than those two strategies.
Guess I should just teach her that and see the outcomes by playing.
15 minutes later.
After playing continuesly nonstop until I got bored because of my winstreak.
And after telling her flaws without consideration forgetting my position until she angers out of emotion.
I finally witness my own defeat.
For many wins I have that I forgot to count how many it is.
I oddly feel satisfied now even though I lost.
"YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!"
She is expectedly happy and jumping for joy with tears in her eyes but its not gonna fall with her head raise high, but she's kinda overreacting with just one win.
"I feel like I won't lose to anyone now!"
Victory give only self-satisfaction and conceit as the legend say.
"how about one more?"
Since her conceit attitude seriously piss me off when it's me who teaches her how to win.
It result as my lose again
.....
Ah, I get it now, she's merely pretending to be a weakling.
If not then she's simply a quick learner.
I'll decide which of it will be by the next round.
We kept playing and playing until I got bored of it.
She eventually falls asleep beside me with her head laying on my left shoulder.
She must be tired huh.
Well what could I expect that she's working physically and mentally at morning and make dinner and play games to kill time at night.
Well, I shouldn't get close to her this much so I lift her head slowly from my shoulder and put it on the lean side of the cushion.
Put a blanket around her body except her head so that she can breathe comfortably and keep herself warm.
I get up from the cushion to turn of the TV and get out of the house.
I don't know if I'm being treated well on my first day on this work but at least it's a nice experience for me.
The time I'm about to open the door.
[SHHHHH!!!!!]
A hard rainfall appears right into my face.
Hmmmmm.
Actually, this isn't much of a problem but what I'm worried is that if I get sick tommorow then I can't get to work properly which is exactly risky.
Guess I should stay here for a bit until the rain stops, plus I just got woke up anyway so I can wait all-night.
But with me being here, what should I-
[throb!]
"ghk!"
I feel an excruciating throbbing pain in my right shoulder.
I grip it with my left hand
This pain sure never dissappear even after 3 days.
Just like how I used to remember that day I thought was a dream because it was a scary nightmare.
But it was never even a dream because of this scar I received in this cruel reality.
I'm being reminded of that day everytime I feel this.
In that sole day that I lost my everything.
