Chapter 469: Cheating Even When Playing a Game!

At 9:32 on Saturday morning, 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 passed the time chatting and playing around.

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

"Hmph~ See? This is the power of being an audience member."

Playing UO was practically shoved right in Chika Fujiwara's face; the audience's power of observation showed its full strength at this moment.

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

"..."

Nagi Sanzenin looked at her own hand of cards, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"You're cheating!"

"Hmph~"

Chika Fujiwara smiled very proudly.

"Little Nagi, you're calling me out, but didn't you just use the wind to cheat for yourself? You deliberately controlled the wind to peek at Saya's cards. At least I'm not cheating with extraordinary abilities like you; I figured out your situation through my own observation."

Saya Aizawa, looking at her cards with a troubled expression, paused slightly, then looked in disbelief at Little Nagi, who was feeling guilty and had shifted her gaze.

"Little Nagi, that's too much! You actually used your cheating ability against me, the only ordinary girl without superpowers."

She had been playing this game with these superpowered people relying solely on her own powers of observation.

Who knew how painful it was for her to keep losing, yet her own dearest sister even used superpowers to cheat, and what's more, she was peeking at her hidden cards. Could she tolerate that?

"It... can't really be called cheating. This person's cheating situation is far worse and far more blatant than mine; why don't you say anything about her?"

Feeling guilty, Nagi Sanzenin kept shifting her gaze; only when she couldn't stand Saya's piercing stare did she redirect the topic back to Chika Fujiwara.

In response, Chika Fujiwara proudly puffed out her chest.

"I'm not cheating with extraordinary abilities; I'm just performing the role of an audience member in a very ordinary way. Daily role-playing can accelerate my digestion of potions, which has benefits. Besides, anyone with good eyesight can perform this kind of extraordinary ability of observation; seeing is also a very powerful gambling technique."

"Saya can understand that, right?"

Saya Aizawa, stared at earnestly by Chika Fujiwara, helplessly nodded.

"Indeed, seeing is also a very powerful gambling technique. If one doesn't use despicable means to cheat, the gambling city wouldn't publicly kick people out. Moreover, people with extraordinary eyesight can indeed understand some people's thoughts through their words and actions."

"But even if someone can do it, they shouldn't be able to make judgments as precise as yours."

"Only you alone can make such precise judgments about a person's thoughts."

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

Especially since this superpower isn't operational but is obtained through enhanced observation; in a sense, this is truly an extremely strong superpower.

"Little Lan, you cheated just now too, right?"

"Eh?"

Mao Li Lan, sitting quietly nearby, didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to her; facing so many pairs of eyes staring at her, she shyly nodded.

"I'm sorry, Saya."

"I didn't cheat on purpose. I just noticed that your heartbeats changed slightly when you played different cards, so I thought I'd listen carefully, and it turned out to match my guess."

"..."

Even the few who had obtained extraordinary abilities looked at Mao Li Lan, who was full of apologies, with speechless expressions.

Saya Aizawa, who brought up this topic, also felt it was extremely absurd.

"Although the inside of the car was very quiet, being able to hear heartbeats through hearing, Little Lan, your five senses are absurd enough; they're even more superpowered than superpowers."

After sighing with emotion, Saya Aizawa also put down the cards in her hand.

"Forget it, you guys play on; I'll go find Ren Amamiya."

Facing a group of cheaters in a game, and using superpowered cheating methods, it was too easy to get crushed in a game where cheating methods were hard to detect.

She walked through the aisle of the RV, heading to the second floor of the vehicle.

Arriving at the second floor of the RV, Saya Aizawa saw Ren Amamiya sitting by the long table, lighting incense, drawing a strange formation on the table with white chalk, as if conducting very profound research...

Seeing that Ren Amamiya looked very serious in his research, she quietly sat beside him and watched.

She noticed that the smoke stream from the incense, as if being guided, began to rotate around the formation as the center.

The formation drawn in chalk on the table also began to turn strangely.

Slowly shrinking in scale, the smoke stream also sank rapidly.

When the smoke stream fell into the rotating formation on the table, a blindingly bright light appeared, causing Saya Aizawa to temporarily lose her vision.

Her consciousness was groggy, but her lost vision recovered very quickly.

However, she was no longer sitting beside the long table; instead, her head was resting on Ren Amamiya's lap.

"???"

Saya Aizawa was completely confused.

"Don't move."

Just as she tried to sit up, a hand pressed her down.

"I'm going to check your condition."

Saya Aizawa immediately obediently stayed still.

"Hmm, you were just blinded by the light from the talisman; it's not a big problem. You didn't show symptoms like vomiting or nausea, so it seems it wasn't the effect of a flashbang, though the prolonged state of unconsciousness I thought of did happen."

Listening to Ren Amamiya's words, Saya Aizawa began to feel lucky about her fortune; if she had also experienced nausea or vomiting, she didn't know how unbearable it would be right now.

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

She just wanted to move, but her body felt no strength.
