027: She just needs some time.

Klein rushed to pull Momo away, genuinely afraid that the angry players would retaliate against him.

If Klein had one notable virtue, it was that he would go to great lengths to help his friends when he acknowledged someone as a friend. In the current situation, everyone needed to support each other to get through this ordeal, and Klein believed in this approach.

However, as Klein continuously apologized and tried to pull Momo away, he was surp...

026: Does anyone recognize me?

"Now I believe that you were prepared for everything."

Reimu's lips twitched with a trace of dissatisfaction, but she had to acknowledge the reality.

"The skills [Confidentiality] and [Trust] were tailor-made for this operation, right? With the [Trust] skill, your words can be verified as true or false by the trading authority. If it's the truth, the trading partner will trust you unconditionally. They won't doubt whether the trade will happen ...

Volume 1 Chapter 32: Did Mary Cheat Too?

Seeing Mary's clueless expression, Tsuzura thought she hadn't heard clearly and gathered her courage to say it again. "Mary, I'm actually very slow, not sharp during gambling, and I keep losing to others. That's why I've been labeled as a 'stray cat,' and no one wants to be friends with me. It would be great if you'd be my friend..."

Tsuzura's words were sincere, but upon hearing them, Mary Mary's face darkened. She didn't respond or reject...

025: Meeting Kirito

Both of them screamed in frustration.

"Seems like I came at a bad time?"

"Ah, how untimely! My first sword skill, my first perfect kill, all interrupted by you! Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Klein jumped up vigorously, as if he were about to get angry. Kirito quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, Klein, he didn't do it on purpose."

After restraining Klein, Kirito turned to look at Momo, revealing a slightly surprised expressio...

"...Impossible, why would you think that I'd give up everything in this game with you!?" Even though Kokoro had already accepted her defeat, she still refused to admit that Mary's gambling skills were superior to hers.

"Even if you get the target hand, it doesn't mean I'll necessarily accept the challenge. The bet only stands when I believe my hand can beat yours!" She spoke with the fierceness of a departing villain, saying with res...

024: Regaining the Lost Memories

"Welcome To Sword Art Online!"

With the appearance of the prompt, Momo finally logged into the game and found himself in the central square of Tolbana, the Starting City.

It was now 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and only a few players had logged in at this time. Almost all of the ten thousand players were already online. The square was sparsely populated, with most people either idling around, socializing, or those with more ambition had probab...

Volume 1 Chapter 30: Kokoro, are you saying you didn't cheat!?

Kokoro was about to offer some insincere consolation to Mary, but she noticed Mary's shoulders shaking, and the shaking became more pronounced. Was she trying to stifle laughter? The classmates couldn't help but look at her in surprise. Even though it was apparent she was about to lose, why was she laughing?

"Hehe... Hahaha...!" Mary's laughter grew louder and she wiped tears from her eyes, seemingly unable to contain ...

"If you are going to keep looking at me like that, I'm going to get angry!"

Momo remained silent as Asuna lowered her head, feeling somewhat awkward as the atmosphere grew tense. Eventually, Asuna couldn't bear the awkwardness any longer and was the first to break the silence.

"Alright, you're the host, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

Momo sat up and glanced around Asuna's room, expressing surprise, "I thought a girl's room would be more... ela...

Volume 1 Chapter 29: Come on, why don't you show up!

Kokoro's psychological tactic was indeed effective, but she didn't expect it to work so well. She was taken aback by Mary's sudden display of momentum, almost dropping her cards.

"Hey, answer me already! Do you want to or not?" Irritated by Kokoro's delayed response, Mary slammed the table.

Finally regaining her composure, Kokoro glanced at her hand:

The students who became "livestock" were those who couldn't afford to pay the tribute money, most of whom were special admissions students who had entered the school through legitimate exams. They had put in a lot of effort to get into this school, and their intelligence was undoubtedly higher than average. Even if they initially struggled with the gambling culture, once they got used to it, they had a good chance of winning...

"What?!" Mary blinked her eyes, seemingly not comprehending the situation. After a moment, she covered her head, astonished, and shouted, "Impossible! How could you still have an Ace? If you had a card, why didn't you play it earlier!?"

"You mind your own business. Are you going to play a card now?" Kokoro smiled lightly. "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Your biggest card is King, so you definitely can't beat me now." Saying that, Ko...

022: Come to My Room

With Asuna opening up the conversation, the atmosphere of the meeting became much more relaxed. As the conversation shifted towards the top-grade truffles that Momo brought, the topic naturally transitioned to gourmet food.

The Yuuki family breathed a sigh of relief, as they could all engage in the topic of food. Having tasted many delicacies themselves, they were quite knowledgeable about different cuisines. And Momo, having lived for a hundred years in his p...

Her effort has been affirmed?

Following in the footsteps of her family and being acknowledged by them, this is what Asuna has always longed for, and all her efforts have been directed towards this moment.

Unfortunately, her family never seemed to care about her academic achievements at school, and whatever grades Asuna achieved were always taken for granted by them.

Being ignored and unrecognized for so long gradually filled Asuna with a...

Volume 1 Chapter 26: Victory Terminated?

Kiyohei Ayanokoji had carefully considered the rules of this game several times. Apart from the "Rich" and "Poor" terminology, which made him want to mock, the rules of the game were actually quite well-designed. At least in the first round, there was no obvious loophole that would guarantee a higher chance of winning for either side.

Starting from the second round, becoming the Rich allowed one to take the largest card from the Poor, signi...

Mary's breathing became rapid as she saw Kiyohei open his wallet, revealing thick wads of banknotes, each worth ten thousand yen. She couldn't help but feel envious. So this is what it's like to be a rich second-generation... If only she had this kind of money, she wouldn't be in such a predicament.

"Kiyohei, does this money come with interest?" Mary desperately wanted the money, but she couldn't accept Kiyohei's kindness without some fo...

Volume 1 Chapter 24: Just Win It Back if You Lose

Mary's experience was not complicated, and Kiyohei quickly deduced the general sequence of events from their conversation. Mary encountered her past friend, Tsuzura Hanatemari, in her new class. Seeing her being bullied by classmates due to her "livestock" status, Mary stood up for her and was forced to gamble against the person who was bullying Tsuzura. The result... Mary suffered a crushing defeat and lost a large sum of money.

"However, I also have a condition to propose."

"Since Masayoshi-san wants me to guarantee the safety of everyone and Masayoshi-san wants to enter my game, then Masayoshi-san cannot, under any circumstances, disclose the truth about the game to anyone. It would be best if you consider yourself completely ignorant."

Reimu's expression changed.

Volume 1 Chapter 23: Mary's Misery

Mary Saotome, why did she run out of the classroom during class? As this question arose, Kiyohei quickly formed a guess in his mind. It seemed that all the freshmen in his class had been taken to gamble, and their class was probably no exception. Could it be that Mary was also forced to gamble with others? Judging by her current state, did she lose the gamble?

With these thoughts, Kiyohei once again left the room. The teacher seemed to be accusto...

To gamble with himself again? And the wager is still 400,000 yen?

Kuroki wasn't some wealthy heir. The allowance he received this month, combined with the money he won from gambling, barely added up to 400,000 yen. However, if he lost, he would be left with nothing.

Earlier, he used the money he won, so he didn't mind. But now, thinking about staking everything he had, he hesitated.

As Kuroki contemplated...

At that moment, Momo seemed to notice Asuna's gaze and slightly tilted his head, making eye contact with her from a distance.

Asuna blushed. Even though they were at a social event and there was quite a distance between them, she couldn't deny that she had been stealing glances at Momo.

Asuna wanted to look away, but she saw Momo wink and give her a bright smile, then gestured slightly towards the person next to him, Kayaba.

"I don't think this is a good idea..." Kumagai's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively wanting to object.

He was startled when Kiyohei suddenly spoke, thinking that their cooperation had been exposed as problematic.

"What I wanted was the card on top when the deck wasn't shuffled, but now the cards are already mixed up, and the card I wanted to draw has been shuffled into the deck. Isn't ...

018: Dinner Banquet

After bidding farewell to Shouzou, Momo looked up and saw Reimu with her back turned, arms crossed in front of her, seemingly angry.

Helpless in this situation, Momo said, "Little Reimu, I like you too. I initiated so many deals to prove my intentions, but you rejected them all, didn't you?"

"Pah, I don't want to make deals with you. Talking about using deals to prove intentions, isn't it just using deals to bind each other? Don't make it sound so noble."...

"Of course, take your time!"

Shouzou, despite lacking the composure and sophistication of Sugou, was still quite competent as a CEO, except for his somewhat lacking judgment in people.

After a short moment of contemplation, combining everything that had happened today, Shouzou had almost understood the truth, and the look in his eyes as he ga...

Volume 1 Chapter 20: My Turn, Draw a Card!

Kiyohei's action surprised Kumagai.

He actually wanted another card?

Keep in mind that 18 was already a high hand, and to get a higher hand without going bust, the only cards Kiyohei could draw were Ace, 2, or 3.

Kiyohei held the Ace of Clubs and the 3 of Spades, and the probability of drawing a card without going bust was only 4 out of 44.

Was he really willing to gamble 400,000 yen on less than a one-fourth chance?

Just as Kiyohei had expected... upon seeing such a large wager, it was clear that Kuroki was tempted. The exchange of glances between Kuroki and Kumagai didn't escape Kiyohei's notice. Even though Kumagai had expressed doubts, the temptation of 400,000 yen was enough to make Kuroki choose to take the risk.

Kiyohei had once watched a quiz show.

For every question answered correctly, the cont...

Just as Sugou was about to make his final declaration, Momo's words stopped him in his tracks.

Shouzou paused for a moment, but he didn't show any further reaction. He simply wondered why the new Chairman chose to speak with Sugou first.

Even as Shouzou left, he didn't forget to give a warning to Sugou. He understood clearly that this could be an opportunity or a disaster for Sugou. When two young people talk, a single sent...

Kurume was scared away by Kiyohei's words.

Shortly after she left, Kiyohei also left the storage room. Before leaving, he dismantled the monitor from the router and put it in his pocket.

This monitor might still come in handy. It would be a waste to just throw it away.

When Kiyohei returned to the classroom, Kuroki was sitting with a group of male students, chatting with them. When he saw Kiyohei, his eye...
