Chapter 240: Cheating even when playing a game!

Saturday morning, 9:32, everyone boarded the large RV prepared by Nao Hayasaka.

The destination ahead was the hot spring village in Limu County.

This road was much longer than imagined, but everyone spent it chatting and playing.

Among them, the one who had the most fun was undoubtedly Chika Fujiwara.

"Hehe~ see that? This is the strength of being an audience."

Playing the UO game, it could be said to be right in Chika Fujiwara's face; the audience's observational ability was fully displayed at this moment.

Unlike others who needed to consider the problem of cheating, for Chika Fujiwara, playing this kind of game was almost like having cheating engraved deep in her soul.

"..."

Nagi Sanzenin looked at the hand of cards she had, her face twitching constantly.

"You're cheating!"

"Hehe~"

Chika Fujiwara smiled very proudly.

"Nagi, you're still talking about me? Didn't you just use the wind to cheat for yourself? You deliberately controlled the wind to peek at Sakuya's cards. At least I don't use Extraordinary abilities to cheat like you; I know your situation through my own observation."

Sakuya Aizawa, who was looking at her cards with distress, was slightly stunned, and then looked in disbelief at Nagi, who was shifting her gaze due to a guilty conscience.

"Nagi, you're too much! To actually use cheating abilities on me, the only ordinary girl without superpowers."

She was playing games against these people with superpowers relying on her own observational skills.

Heaven knows how painful it was for her to keep losing, but who knew that her dearest sister would actually use superpowers to cheat, and even peeked at her hole cards—could this be tolerated?

"It... it can't be considered cheating, right? This person's cheating situation is even more serious and more open than mine; why don't you talk about her?"

The guilty Nagi Sanzenin kept shifting her gaze; she really couldn't stand Sakuya's piercing gaze, so she shifted the topic back to Chika Fujiwara.

To this, Chika Fujiwara puffed out her chest very proudly.

"I'm not using Extraordinary abilities to cheat; I'm just playing the role of an audience very normally. Daily role-playing can accelerate my digestion of the potion; this is beneficial. What's more, people with sharp eyes can also do this kind of observation; looking is also a very powerful gambling technique."

"Sakuya can understand, right?"

Sakuya Aizawa, who was being stared at by Chika Fujiwara's eager gaze, nodded helplessly.

"Indeed, looking is also a very powerful gambling technique. If it weren't for using underhanded means to cheat, casinos wouldn't openly kick people out. And people with superior eyesight can indeed understand some people's thoughts through their words and actions."

"However, even if someone can do it, they wouldn't be able to do it with such precise judgment as you."

"You are the only one who can judge a person's thoughts so precisely."

Excluding luck and cheating, being able to precisely control a person's thoughts is truly a very powerful superpower.

Especially when this superpower isn't operational, but obtained through strengthening observational skills; in a sense, this is truly a super-strong superpower.

"Ran, you cheated just now too, right?"

"Eh?"

Mao Li, who was sitting quietly on the side, didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to her; facing so many eyes staring at her, she also nodded embarrassedly.

"Sorry, Sakuya."

"I didn't intentionally cheat either. It's just that I noticed your heart rates were subtly different when you played different cards, so I thought I'd listen carefully, and I didn't expect it to be the same as my guess."

"..."

Even the few people who had obtained Extraordinary abilities looked at the apologetic Mao Li with speechlessness.

Sakuya Aizawa, who brought up this topic, also felt it was very absurd.

"Although it's very quiet inside the car, being able to hear heartbeats through hearing—Ran, your five senses are absurd enough; it's even more 'super' than superpowers."

After the exclamation, Sakuya Aizawa also put down the cards in her hand.

"Forget it, you guys play; I'm going to find Ren."

Playing games against a group of cheaters, and they were using cheating methods with superpowers—it was too easy to be bullied in this kind of game where cheating methods were not easy to detect.

She walked through the aisle of the RV and headed to the second floor.

Arriving on the second floor of the RV, Sakuya Aizawa saw Ren sitting at the long table, lighting incense, and drawing a strange array on the table with white chalk, as if he were doing some very profound research...

Seeing that Ren was researching very seriously, she sat quietly on the side and watched.

She noticed that the smoke from the incense seemed to be pulled, starting to rotate with the array as the center.

The array drawn on the table with chalk also began to rotate eerily.

Slowly shrinking in scale, the smoke was also sinking rapidly.

When the smoke fell into the rotating array on the table, a blinding, strong light appeared, causing Sakuya Aizawa to lose her vision temporarily.

Her consciousness was groggy, but her lost vision was soon restored.

Only, she wasn't sitting next to the long table at this moment, but had her head resting on Ren's lap.

"???"

Sakuya Aizawa was very confused.

"Don't move."

Just as she wanted to sit up, she was pressed down by a hand.

"I'll check your condition."

Sakuya Aizawa immediately became obedient and didn't move.

"Hmm, it was just flashed by the light of the amulet; the problem isn't very big. There are no symptoms like vomiting or nausea, so it seems it wasn't the effect of a flashbang, but the long-term state of coma I thought of was achieved."

Listening to Ren's words, Sakuya Aizawa began to rejoice in her luck; if she had also had symptoms of nausea and vomiting, she didn't know how uncomfortable she would be now.

Just as she was rejoicing, she felt her head being slowly lifted.

She just wanted to move a little, but her body couldn't feel any strength.
