บท 314: Serious genius should not be underestimated
That day, the wind was bright, the yellow sand was rolling, and the event square was filled with people and throngs of spectators.
The two teams of beautiful girls stared at each other, the atmosphere of confrontation surreal.
Clearly the one involved, Shinichi watched the fight from a spectator's perspective.
...No, it should be called a massacre.
The first few rounds were actually quite peaceful, with both sides winning and losing. Team Nakano got lucky and won several more times. They had disarmed four times, while Fumino only had two.
The game has entered the end point, when team Nakano will release Yotsuba, and will take Shinichi from team Fumino and escape after winning.
The team sequence restarts, and it's Fumino and Ichika's turn to guess each other's rock scissors.
"Ricchan, are you okay?"
"The record is done, no problem."
Rizu pushed up her glasses and answered.
Fumino looked at Ichika with a confused face.
"Then let the game... Officially begin."
"Ichika, next time, I'll just use rocks."
Her smile became mysterious, but she carried a calm and unhurried demeanor.
"If I don't use the stone, I will lose, but if I win over you using something else, then we will both win, and we will each go ahead and play the next one. That means, as long as you don't play scissors and lose a rock, Victory or nothing is the same to you."
"Maybe my chances of winning will be lower? But it doesn't matter, as long as it's interesting."
"These are rules that speed up the game and make it more fun. Are you willing to accept it?"
Fumino smiled innocently, but Shinichi at the side could see the dark emotion floating in her eyes, and looked at him caught by Miku's sleeve from time to time.
Shinichi could only feel shaking.
"This..." Ichika hesitated for a moment, she only understood most of the rules, especially since she didn't have time to analyze them one by one, and Nino who was behind him agreed with interest, "Then accept it, however, if you don't use scissors, you'll be fine. Can we move on? For us, there is only gain and no loss."
Ichika thought about it, she was right, and they were only one step away from victory, even if they agreed to this rule, it would be too late for Fumino and the others to catch up.
So even though she had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart, she nodded, and after the referee agreed to change the rules, the game started again.
Then, just lose.
Ichika, Nino, Miku, Itsuki, and Fumino's first guess results were all tied, so both sides took a step forward.
However, the game of rock paper scissors between these four people and Rizu, all failed.
"This is the result of an observation." Rizu said with a calm expression, "After collecting the quantitative sample size, guessing rock paper scissors will be a matter of probability, just like a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium calculation… As long as you solve the problem according to a formula, even for me, it's very hard to lose."
That is, under Fumino's rules, Nakano's team only made one step forward, but both members of Fumino's team continued to move forward, and after successfully deactivating the bomb on the princess, the game was officially over.
Shinichi doesn't remember how he got back to Fumino's team camp.
He only remembered that after the match ended at an extremely fast pace, before the five sisters from the Nakano family even had a chance to react, they listened to the referee's announcement that Fumino's team had won with confused expressions.
Just then, Fumino placed a hand on his shoulder with a smile on her face, and Rizu grabbed the hem of his shirt with a serious expression. Just like before the match started, the two of them responded to the five people's heads stare.
Even though the Nakano Quintuplets won the total points championship in the team competition that day, they didn't feel the slightest joy from winning when they went on stage to receive the award.
Perhaps, extremely talented girls had become their psychological shadow?
Shinichi witnessed such a tragic situation with his own eyes, still feeling a sense of embarrassment as he recalled the grievances and pitiful looks the quints gave him in the audience.
Look what he's doing, he had no idea they were so fierce...

Breaking free from this sour memory, Shinichi looked at Ichika in front of him, she could still make such flirty and cute moves, so she probably didn't care about the competition for a long time.
That's right, this was just a game after all, even if the five of them lost in the end, there was no need to worry about it for too long.
"… If you don't understand, then I'll be going first."
Shinichi turned and left without hesitation at all.
"Eh? Wait a moment!" Ichika hurriedly followed, puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, and said dissatisfiedly.
"Really, can't Shinichi-kun be nicer to girls... I'm not asking you to be gentle, at least don't act heartless, I'll also say sadly..."
"Is it true? Then I'll be gentle with every girl from today, so as not to make you feel bad for me." Shinichi simply answered.
"This…" Her smile was a bit forced, Ichika finally gave in, and said with a wry smile.
"Now then, you're still the straight man of steel as always, I wasn't expecting much at this stage."
"Straight man of steel or a bastard. Being stalked by women really sucks." Shinichi snorted.
"Don't be so outspoken..." Ichika bent down, put her shoulders closer, raised her rosy face, and smiled.
"Hey, Shinichi-kun, you know a lot of things right? How does it feel, will you feel the pleasure of being a winner in life?"
Shinichi took half a step back, and frowned.
"You are also very popular with the boys, right? Compare yourself, you should know my feelings best."
Ichika was dumbfounded, her footsteps stopped, she bit her lip slowly, and looked down.
"So… Am I causing you trouble?"
Shinichi's expression slightly froze. Seeing her sad expression, he clearly knew that this was an acting skill. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't say the word 'yes'.
He could only find the safest way to deal with it. Turning his face away from her, and said.
"If you really feel troubled, I'll tell you in person... Tell me beforehand, I'm not the kind of guy who's gentle enough to care about a girl's feelings, and I won't comfort you if I have nothing to offer."
After speaking, he walked away by himself.
Not long after that, as expected, Ichika followed suit with a smile on her face, her cheeks blushed as if the sun had hit her.
With her hands behind her back, she leaned over her head, stared into Shinichi's face with sly eyes, and she wouldn't look away.
"Ahem, Shinichi-kun, I still have a cup of coffee in my hand, but I can't drink it anymore, what should I do now?"
She pretended to be serious.
"Osamu Dazai said, when you think you can't drink coffee, think of the children who can't even drink water, and you will feel thirstier than ever."
Shinichi said without looking back.
"...Real?"
"Fake, give it to me."
"Hehehe~"
Ichika rested her head lightly on his shoulder and then took half a step back to open the distance.
(It seems that on my way to school in the future, I won't be able to read books comfortably.)
Slightly complaining in his heart, Shinichi offered his condolences for the peaceful time that had passed.
After sipping lukewarm coffee and looking up at the sky.
He stopped and smiled helplessly.
If the weather is still good, it will be nice to live.
