As the saying goes, wine helps conversation.
There is wine to drink and something to eat, so naturally you can't just eat and drink with your head down. Besides eating and drinking, chatting at the wine table is also indispensable.
After the girls tasted various wines one by one, they gradually became familiar with the taste and developed their own preferences. Most of them are as expected by Baiyunshan. Sure enough, they tend to be more sweet in taste, such as plum wine. Only a certain old driver, Mica Eto, is a bit special. Whether it is red wine, beer, or sake, they seem to accept all comers. One of the girls’ current favorite drinks.
But it seems that it is precisely because of this that after drinking so many kinds of wine, it is not just a taste. The girl also gets drunk the fastest. After a while, she can only listen quietly while holding her chin. Chatted with several people present.
"I heard that you went betting on horse racing some time ago. Is that true?" Bai Yunshan said.
Matsumura Sayuri was a little surprised and said: "Is this happening, or is it a plan to fight dogs? Baiyun-san, don't you know?"
Baiyunshan shook his head gently. Recently, he rarely even goes to the recording of official programs. There are a lot of things to be busy with, including coming-of-age ceremonies, first anniversaries, and activities that the girls of Nogi Group need to participate in next month. These things He is indispensable for everything, so naturally there is no time to follow and record dog fights.
On the side, Mai Fukawa looked thoughtful, obviously thinking about the recent practice of the Nogi team, and roughly guessed the reason why someone was unavailable.
Hashimoto Nanami continued: "Not only did we bet on horse racing, but we also went to a bar, and finally we went to a store to buy very beautiful clothes together -" At this point, she couldn't help but paused and said: "But that day is really The weather is too cold. Wearing thin clothes to take pictures is almost freezing to death——"
"bar?"
Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows: "Have you already been to the bar? Or did you go with the show crew?"
"Oh, it's not that kind of bar, it's...a bar for men -"
Matsumura Sayuri whispered.
Baiyunshan suddenly realized that it was not surprising. Since it is a male bar, then it must be for the effect of the program, and the program team must have communicated in advance, but it is more reassuring than an ordinary bar. ——
But I still care a little bit...
"It seems that I have to discuss it with the planning team next time. If I really can't think of a plan, there's no need to do this, right? It still feels a bit hasty -"
Baiyunshan said.
"But to be honest, the bar is not bad. As expected, the horse betting in front is the one that attracts more attention——"
"Betting on horse racing?"
"Yes~"
Matsumura Sayuri pouted, so he thought of the memories of the previous two days, and couldn't help but complain: "Sayuri, I guessed two people, but in the end I didn't even earn back my capital. It's so unlucky. "Yum——"
"Sayuri, are you okay? You spent hundreds, but in the end you only lost more than a hundred. I lost all my thousand and a half -" A certain mayonnaise star on the side poked his chopsticks faintly.
Several other girls who were present at the scene couldn't help but offer words of comfort. Only a certain girl from Hokkaido comforted her. At the same time, she couldn't help but gloat as she remembered the scene at that time. When she saw Baiyunshan's curious eyes next to her, she couldn't help but snicker. Taking advantage of the situation, she helped him explain the whole story while hiding her smile.
Baiyunshan nodded in understanding, and then said with gloating: "So, this is the evil consequence of gambling~ Betting on horses is exciting, but the risk is very high, and you will lose all your money. There are endless cases. Shiraishi, you have to be careful in the future and don’t get addicted to it——"
Mai Shiraishi, who was already depressed, felt even more angry when she saw his gloating look, but she couldn't think of anything to say to refute, so she could only snort and said depressedly: "It turns out that the world of adults is... Is it so dirty..."
"Where is this going? What's even dirtier is yet to come -"
Bai Yunshan shook his head and smiled, then looked at the girl sitting here who looked blank after hearing what he said. He calmly looked down at the time and explained: "It's time to choose someone to pay the bill."
"Pay the bill?"
The girls were shocked and looked at him one after another: "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally."
Baiyunshan spread his hands and said, "We can't just eat for free, right? When we go to other people's places to spend money, someone has to pay the bill, right?"
"No, I mean...isn't it Baiyun-san, your treat?"
Hearing the word "pay the bill", not to mention the other girls, even Micai Eto, who was slightly drunk because of how much she drank in one breath, suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and couldn't help but look at each other. whispered.
Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows. After a brief silence, he asked, "Did I say it was my treat?"
"..."
This is really not the case!
The girls were immediately speechless. They were just used to having someone help pay the bill when they went out to eat together, so they subconsciously felt this way. Thinking about it carefully, although the other party suggested that we go drinking together this time, he never mentioned that he would be the one to treat the guests——
be cheated!
How could the girls have imagined that they were used to eating and drinking with someone, but today it was someone's turn to eat and drink too. The contrast was huge——
Even Mai Fukawa, who has long passed her adulthood, couldn't help but hold her forehead. Although she is the eldest member here, her mature age does not mean that her wallet is also mature. After all, among the few people here, even those who will be recognized in the future A certain mayonnaise star who is white and rich is also short of money at the moment——
"So, this is also part of becoming an adult—"
Baiyunshan said leisurely: "Okay, don't waste time, decide quickly, who should pay the bill? Or do you plan to share it equally with everyone here?"
"Wait, Baiyun-san——"
A certain Hokkaido girl, Hashimoto Nana, calmed down the fastest. After hearing these words, she took a deep breath and asked: "Forget it is an equal split, just pick one person, but I want to know how to decide? After all, There has to be a fair way, right?”
"It's true—"
Baiyunshan nodded lightly, and then suggested: "Then let's guess the game, it's absolutely fair-"
"No, no, no, no -"
The girls immediately shook their heads like rattles. Nonsense, the scene of this guy winning dozens of games in a row with a certain Gaoshan Yinan in the game of guessing last year is still vivid in his mind. He is as strong as a ghost. Who dares to play guessing with him? Isn’t that a sure defeat?
"Let's try another method. For example...after everyone counts one or two together, how about voting for anyone at random, and the person with the most votes pays the bill?"
Shiraishi Mai suddenly had an idea and suggested.
If this were a comic book, a bright light bulb would suddenly appear next to the girl's head, because just now, she suddenly thought of a good idea to take revenge on someone in front of her for gloating about someone's misfortune just now——
Baiyunshan frowned and said, "Isn't this unfair? After all, no matter how you look at it, you must have voted for me more. If you all vote for me when the time comes, wouldn't I definitely lose?"
"Then let's do this——"
As if she had expected it, Mai Shiraishi didn't care and said quickly: "If more than three people vote for the same person, that person doesn't have to pay the bill. Instead, the person with the most votes will be chosen. This is always fair, right?" ?”
Bai Yunshan's expression did not change. This seemed to be fair, and it also avoided the situation he had mentioned before if everyone else voted for him. But it only looked like it. In fact, the gap was not better than before. How many.
Moreover, it always feels like there is some conspiracy...
"Baiyun-san, you're not even afraid of this, are you? It's just a vote. Even if you lose, it's not a big deal to help pay the bill, right?" Seeing that he seemed hesitant, Shiraishi Mai suddenly said excitedly.
This is not unreasonable. Indeed, losing is just a treat. It's not like it has never happened before. It can even be said that I have long been used to it. It doesn't make any difference if you lose once more or less. Even though he came with a purpose this time, it would be best if he could win, but——
Baiyunshan smiled slightly.
He doesn’t think he will definitely lose!
"Okay, let's get started."
Hearing that he finally agreed, Shiraishi Mai breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy.
Hehe, you are fooled so easily, do you think it’s really fair? Since it is a vote, the voters must be more important, and at the scene, almost all of them are mine! As long as Sayuri Misa joins me, Nanamin and Mai Mai, vote for the others. In this case, no matter how you calculate it, there will only be three votes, and you will still lose——
After thinking triumphantly, the girl instantly winked at the girls around her. Girls who have been together day and night for so long will naturally not have any tacit understanding. In addition, the situation in front of them is almost clear at a glance, even if they can't understand the winks. The true meaning of the expression can be guessed to a certain extent, so there is no confusion.
So, it's time to vote.
"One or two——"
After counting, several people raised their hands together, but the next moment, Mai Shiraishi's eyes widened.
Although the facts were indeed as she expected, there were some slight differences, because in addition to the three votes combined by her and the other two girls, there was another person who also voted for Baiyun Mountain——
That is Baiyun Mountain itself.
"You...Baiyun-sang, how could you-"
"What's wrong? You didn't say you couldn't vote for yourself, right?"
Seeing her stunned expression, Baiyunshan didn't care, but asked with a smile.
Shiraishi Mai was immediately discouraged. It was true, but in this way, in addition to the three of them, plus Baiyunshan's own vote, there were four votes.
And if it exceeds three votes, that person doesn’t have to pay the bill——
Shiraishi Mai felt depressed for a moment. In this way, someone was allowed to escape smoothly, which was contrary to her previous plan——
So what about the next votes?
The girl suddenly thought of this, and her eyes widened again.
Yes, apart from these votes, the only ones left are Mai Mai and her own Nanamin, and Nanamin just voted for her according to her instructions...
Shiraishi Mai quickly looked around and saw that a certain Hokkaido girl had indeed voted for her. As for Fukawa Mai, a girl with a always kind personality, although she understood her meaning, she was embarrassed to think about the care she had received in the past. They joined forces to deceive people, and after thinking about it, none of the girls in front of them could bear to vote, so they simply had an idea and voted for themselves just like Baiyunshan——
So the scene became one to one...
No, to be precise, it was one to zero, because Mai Mai voted for herself. Compared to herself,
