"Dear members! Have you ever heard of the ghost card game~~~!"
It was early July, and the location was the small activity room of the Cyberghost Music Club. The president, Caldesia Spencer, opened the door with her usual enthusiasm and made the above speech to the members.
Qin Qianbai and Qi Luo, who were studying a fashion magazine, both raised their heads and then returned their attention to the magazine. Gongsun Ce glanced sideways at the handbag in the hat girl's hand that gave off a strong foreboding, and said quietly He pushed the young man in a suit next to him.
——Hurry up and take care of your girlfriend and don’t let her harm me.
Shigure Reiichi put down the Bunko book in his hand and explained with a butler-like attitude: "The so-called ghost card game is a popular poker game all over the world. After the cards are evenly distributed to the players, each person will Pairs with the same numbers in their own hands are played. When no one has a pair in their hands, the players randomly draw cards from each other's decks in order until they make up a pair again and play. This repeats until there is no pair. Can be beaten."
“Since only the joker – the joker – is an unpaired poker player, when a round of games is over, the player who still holds the joker is the loser of the round. So how to induce other players to start from themselves? Drawing the ghost card from the card pile is the crucial winning or losing point in this game."
After Reiichi Shigure's explanation ended, the three members of the small club applauded and praised his responsible and detailed explanation. Only the president's mouth grew bigger and bigger.
Qin Qianbai observed the president's expression and came to a sad conclusion: "Shigure-kun, Caldesia may not understand."
Gongsun Ce and Qiluo laughed out loud at the same time.
"Ah, ah...ah?" Caldesia said, "This is different from my understanding. Is drawing ghost cards such a complicated game?"
"Yes, yes, depending on the region, there is a saying that the loser is the one who keeps the Queen of Spades in his hand~" Qiluo said, "How do you think Caldesia played it?"
Reiichi Shigure activated his telepathy and whispered in his heart with his friend.
(Betting 10 yuan, our president took it literally and thought it was a deck of cards stacked on the table and everyone took turns to draw. The person who finally drew the joker was the loser.)
(Are you sure about the rigor of your statement, Gongsun?)
(Pretty sure.)
(It’s a bet.) Reiichi Shigure stretched out his hand from behind the chair, (Pay the money.)
(ah?)
(The cards that Caldesia often plays include two jokers, big and small, so there are two losers in this trick game.)
Gongsun Ce took out a note from his pocket and slapped it hard on his friend's hand, completing the bet behind the chair.
At this time, Caldesia had already taken out a deck of playing cards from the bag and smashed them on the table with the aura of a hero throwing a cup.
"Students, it doesn't matter! If you want to ask why, this is my club, and I make the rules of the game in this club!"
"Cruelty and cruelty will destroy democracy," Qin Qianbai said.
"Big tyrant!" Qiluo protested.
Caldesia put the back of her hand on her chin and let out a very exaggerated laugh: "Oh hehehe. Unfortunately, I am the president, and the opinions of you ordinary members are worthless!"
Gongsun Ce raised his fist and shouted: "What a rubbish club! I want to quit the club!"
"One vote veto!" Caldesia shuffled the cards and put on a particularly sweet tone, "Okay, dear members, we have a deck of playing cards here, including two large and one small. A joker card. Next, let’s play the club’s special version of the ghost card. Whoever draws the joker will have to accept the punishment game~~”
Shigurei took a sip of tea and felt very calm.
As expected, it was another of Caldesia's recent routines.
Because she always gets frustrated when playing games that require resourcefulness, Miss Top Hat has recently become fond of games that rely purely on luck to determine the outcome. This is equivalent to randomly picking two people out of a group of five who are unlucky. It is much better than the previous strategy games that made her lose every time.
What idea did she come up with this time? No matter what, as long as we cooperate with the other two members and try our best to make Gongsun the unlucky guy...
With this thought in mind, Reiichi Shigure turned his attention to his girlfriend's handbag.
"..."
Whether it was an illusion or not, the outline protruding from the bag looked a lot like a pair of long, furry ears.
Shigure Reiichi's face began to turn pale. By this time Caldesia had finished explaining the rules of the game. She opened her handbag and happily took out two sets of quite revealing outfits. It was a strange costume consisting of a low-cut halter top, stockings and a rabbit ear headdress...
Commonly known as, bunny suit.
"Listen up, everyone! Anyone who loses in this game will become the bunny girl of this club today!!"
Shigure Reiichi's smile gradually stiffened.
Can't. no. It's gone too far. The risks of this game have exceeded expectations. We must find a way to stop her... Gongsun!
Gongsun Ce slapped the table and stood up, showing an extremely shameless smile: "Hahaha, okay! This is what you said, whoever is cowardly will be the grandson!"
——Gongsun ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
The pale-faced Reiichi Shigure turned his attention to the conservative martial artist girl for help.
Qin Qianbai waved his hand like a general on the battlefield: "What a terrible end, but I will not lose."
Where does your confidence come from? !
Qiluo, please, Qiluo! ! ! Shigure-kun, who grabbed the last straw, sent a hint to the Twin Tail members with his eyes——
"Wow, this fabric is so good! Did you buy it at the store behind the school?
Qiluo had already run up to the proud president and touched the fabric of the bunny girl costume. "
"Qiluo, you know it very well~ This is a high-end product that can be adjusted in size, so even you can wear it~!"
Shigurei couldn't help it anymore: "Qiluo, I don't quite understand why you don't seem to resist..."
Qi Luo grabbed the bunny girl costume and said in confusion.
"The bunny girl costume is very cute, why should I resist it? Moreover, the exposure of this costume is not as high as my usual costume."
...That's right.
Such details would be ignored. Am I also dulled by daily life...
Shigure Reiichi sat in his seat, like a wax statue frozen in time.
Caldesia came over with bad intentions and asked in a strange voice: "Ah, Reiichi~ everyone has the same opinion, you can feel free to say what you think~~~"
Shigure Reiichi removed his hand and faced reality with a sunny smile.
"Hahaha, I don't play."
"One-vote veto!"
The tragedy called the Ghost Card Game began under the terrifying dictatorship of the president.
·
Gongsun Ce was in a very calm mood.
If you want to ask why...
He decided to cheat in the game.
(Understood, Miss! Let’s work together to make Top Hat Girl and Shigure-kun the losers who draw the Joker!)
Give a hint to the eldest lady with his eyes.
(Qiluo, this one depends on you! Remember to remind me when you are about to draw a ghost card!)
Use hand gestures to signal Qiluo for help.
After receiving the responses from the two men, Gongsun Ce felt deeply reassured.
This is an absolutely foolproof arrangement. Everyone who plays the ghost card game will not use their own superpowers...but this does not mean that cheating methods are avoided!
The eldest lady's keen observation and Qiluo's instinct as an information life form are enough for them to know the outcome before others draw the cards. As long as you rely on the tacit understanding between them, you will be able to avoid the 2/5 bad luck and reach the survival ending if you are about to draw a ghost card!
Gongsun Ce patted Shigure Reiichi on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up: "Don't worry, Shigure-kun! There will always be someone who will support you!"
"The default assumption that I will lose is already confusing," Shigure-kun said.
Gongsun Ce gloated and said, "Is it natural for you not to lose in this kind of game? Caldesia will definitely try her best to make you lose!"
"No……"
When the two men failed to notice, the three female members exchanged glances quickly, setting the tone of the game with a tacit understanding. The eldest lady reached out first and pulled out a card from the pile of cards. After a mysterious silence, she slowly twisted the cards...
"King of Hearts. I am the King of Hearts."
"Your hands are still hot, right?" Gongsun Cexu complained with his eyes, "This card is more suitable for you than Caldesia. Okay, the next one is mine... Look, my card is the Ace of Spades. !”
This is a well-deserved protagonist card.
He is enough to assume the role of the protagonist of a tokusatsu drama.
"It feels so good to call poker a card. Yeah!" Qiluo shouted in surprise after drawing the cards, and the two men immediately looked at each other with expectant eyes with completely different meanings.
"Hey, hey, I'm the Queen of Diamonds~" The girl with the twin tails turned the cards in her hand, "It's not the joker that disappoints you~!"
You're such a mean-spirited guy.
Is teasing Shigure-kun so fun?
After drawing the card, Caldesia immediately revealed: "Ace of Clubs!"
"He is the strongest knight and has good cards." Qin Qianbai said.
"Yeah, the strongest knight who can't fly without his final form (laughs)"
"Sisters, when you tell jokes, can you consider how I feel because I don't understand you at all? What kind of animation is this?"
"It's a tokusatsu drama, Masked X Sword."
"ah???"
Shigurei listened to everyone's discussion and felt a little relaxed.
It seems that Caldesia did not play tricks on the cards, and Qiluo did not use her cognitive ability to cheat. In this way, this game is just a competition of luck... Based on common sense, his luck will never be the worst.
"Okay, then I'll be the next one."
With a slightly more relaxed mood, Shigure Reiichi took out a poker from the deck. He flipped the card over skillfully——
Then, the five people at the long table saw a colorful clown.
"——"
Reiichi Shigure maintained his posture of holding up the sign and remained motionless in his seat. Kirara walked forward worriedly, and after observing for three seconds, sadly announced: "Shigure Reiichi's eyes are dead!"
"Gahahahaha!" "Ahhahahahaha!"
The sound of Gongsun Ce and Caldesia laughing wildly on the table proved in reality that "the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same." Qin Qianbai casually pulled a ball of air to make colorful fragments, and sprinkled them in the air of the small community. , said emotionally as he walked:
"Shigure Reiichi's soul left his sad body and was surrounded by 72 pink bunny girls. He went to the banquet hall where there was no sorrow or pain, and drank osmanthus wine with the warriors of the pink rabbit clan all night long. , prepare for the eternal battle..."
"Who is the old enemy of the pink fur rabbit clan?" Gongsun Ce asked.
"Crying cat head."
"What a chaotic brawl."
Caldesia walked up to her boyfriend holding the bunny ears and said solemnly like a prophet: "Accept it, Reiichi, this is your destiny!"
Shi Yurei said with all his love: "Help..."
·
Five minutes later, Shigure-kun, wearing a sexy black bunny suit, appeared in front of everyone with a zombie-like posture. Out of consideration for her boyfriend's character, Caldesia wrapped a layer of translucent black silk over the parts of her body that should have been exposed, which made the visual effect even more impactful... and shocking.
Caldesia grabbed her boyfriend's shoulders and said evilly: "Hehe, Darling! Look at how tempting your stockings are!"
Rei Shigure spoke like an old monk who had seen through the world of mortals.
"Send Gongsun to me..."
"You're already dead and you still want to support me?!" Gongsun Ce hammered his chest passionately, "No way! You two miserable mandarin ducks will be in trouble together today. Mr. Gongsun, I will definitely send your girlfriend to accompany you. ah!"
Caldesia laughed and said: "Ha! This game is not about skill but luck. Are you the only one who still wants to compete with me for luck?"
The thrilling game of drawing ghost cards passed for two more rounds, and soon it was time for Gongsun Ce to draw cards. Gongsun Ce secretly exchanged passwords with his friends, and received "reassured" responses from the eldest lady and Qiluo. This secret negotiation made Gongsun Ce full of confidence. When he drew cards from the deck, he was full of energy, just like a duelist drawing the Ace of Souls card from the deck in the last round!
"Hahaha! Mr. Shiyu, who had the worst luck, has already fallen. How could I be more unlucky than him?" Gongsun Ce flipped the card with a wild smile, "Just like the ACE I drew in the first round of the game! My Gongsun Ce’s poker luck is literally a trump card, I will definitely win this round of the game to the end!”
He threw the card he drew on the table with great confidence, opened his eyes and saw——
The gray clown was showing him a funny smile on the card.
"..."
Gongsun Ce fell on the seat like a doll with its strings cut off, and asked in a trembling voice: "Miss? Qiluo?"
"Sorry, Ce." Qin Qianbai said without shame, "I betrayed."
"I'm sorry, Gongsun Ce~" Qiluo said with a smile on her face, "But I really want to see Gongsun Ce's frustrated expression~~"
"Damn it! Our relationship has been through life and death so many times!!!"
Caldesia put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly like a devil.
"Ah hahaha! Do you still think you can win through personal relationships? What a pity. There is no room for justice and kindness in this cruel game!"
Qin Qianbai and Qiluo stood behind Gongsun Ce, holding his shoulders. The gray-haired young man struggled violently in his seat, like a live fish jumping on the chopping board: "I have made contributions to the club, I have fought for the school, you can't do this to me! I want to see the principal! I want to see headmaster!!"
Shigure Reiichi knelt down beside his seat and laughed darkly.
"Gongsun, you were the ace in the last round of the game, what about this round of the game?"
Gongsun Ce looked at the joker's cards and spoke with great sadness.
"I am a clown..."
·
Another five minutes later.
Gongsun Ce and Rei Shigure, who had changed into gray bunny girl costumes, sat on two chairs side by side, enjoying the torture of taking photos amidst the scary laughter of the female members and the constant flashing lights.
"You know, Mr. Shiyu." Gongsun Ce said expressionlessly, "If social death counts, I have been reincarnated ten times now."
“Looking back at the way I laughed and approved before playing the game, do I feel any regret?”
Gongsun Ce wiped his face, pretending to be strong and said: "Think on the brighter side! We are already at the end of our misfortune, what can be worse than this? As the saying goes, we will definitely be fine in the next few days. Good luck!”
Shigurei saw his girlfriend's crazy smile and said with a hint of despair: "Gongsun, please stop talking..."
Caldesia cleared her throat: "Ahem! Thank you to the two bunny girls for their sexy performance. As a reward, President, I have prepared a little surprise for you~"
Gongsun Ce was sweating from behind: "What the hell do you want to do?!"
Caldesia knocked on the activity room door. The next second, the door opened inward, and a blue-haired woman who was very familiar to everyone walked in with a confused expression: "What are you doing-"
The blue-haired woman's eyes were fixed on the faces of the male and bunny girl duo.
The change in the blue-haired woman's expression made the two of them want to fall to the ground.
"Haha, hahaha, ahhahahahaha!!!"
Shigure Rei covered his stomach with one hand and pointed at the two people who seemed to have turned into Buddha statues with one hand. At the cost of completely abandoning the image, he burst into laughter that could be called execution: "You! Ah ha ha ha! What a masterpiece, I can't do it anymore, laugh. I have cramps, oh my stomach hahahahaha!!”
Rei Shigure collapsed on the table with laughter, and the male duo looked at the ceiling, feeling that they were only one pair of wings away from ascending to heaven.
"What a blessing, Gongsun."
"Can any kind-hearted person come and give me a knife?" Gongsun Ce shouted desperately, "Just kill me!!"
Qiluo played with the rabbit ears on his head and said in a comforting tone: "Everyone says that rabbits are a symbol of good luck. Gongsun Ce will definitely be very lucky~"
The lucky gray rabbit expressed its thoughts and feelings of "no longer wanting to play" with eyes that lacked highlights.
At this time, Qin Qianbai took out the president's bag and took out several spare rabbit ears.
"Caldesia, what is this?"
The hat girl rolled her eyes and said, "What about this? I think the group member who was chosen to play the role of bunny girl is a bit unlucky... so the other group members can wear spare items to comfort them mentally!"
The blonde took off her hat and put on a pair of bunny ears. She smiled evilly and said, "How is it? Isn't it cute?"
The highlight returned to Bunny Girl No. 1's eyes.
Bunny Girl No. 2 looked at the other two female members with expectant eyes.
"What a dirty look." Qin Qianbai put on the rabbit ears, "Are you satisfied?"
"Don't be like this, the rabbit is very cute~"
Qiluo put on the penultimate pair of rabbit ears and moved the ears with her hands: "Now everyone is a lucky rabbit!"
The gray rabbit pressed his chest with both hands, feeling that his wounded heart had received some recovery. Then, the lucky group members all looked at the only woman in the room who only had two ears.
"Ah ha ha ha..." Shigurei finally recovered from his wild laughter and was wiping tears from the corners of his eyes, "What are you doing? What are you rabbits looking at me for? Hey, why did that little girl close the door? !”
Gongsun Ce grabbed a pair of rabbit ears and stood up with an extremely kind smile.
"Hey, Zero! This is a lucky trinket!"
Shigure Reiichi quickly walked around behind his sister: "Sister Zero, we can't watch your unfortunate ending..."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey?! What does it have to do with me?! I'm warning you that I'm going to create a new world, you pervert, don't come here -!!!"
Gongsun Ce grabbed the rabbit ears and flew up.
"Hehehe, I wish you good luck!"
As a conclusion, everyone in the room wore bunny ears for good luck.
Presumably, they will all have enviable good luck in the future... right!
·
The laughter in the small community floated out through the windows, blending into the hustle and bustle of the summer city as part of countless background sounds.
The big event at the end of June has passed, and Cangqiong City has entered a stable summer vacation after the handover.
What is being staged at this time is a carefree story about young boys and girls, a youth drama about people with super powers.
