"You'll fall for anything!" "Way to go~" "New Bedsheet Dress Made by Sora" "To*** City Raising Healthy Young Adults Law" "Let's obey the ethics laws!" "Honored 1)}Elkia Palace" "420)}Challenger" "She fell for it." "I see." "So that's it. there's actually a one in three chance of a draw." "so he can get a place to stay." "But I won't let him have his way!" "I have a two in three chance of winning." "I also have a two in three chance of winning." "I have a one in three chance of winning." "My options are scissors or rock. to try and make it harder for me to play rock." "he's trying to make me play scissors!" "I've got you all figured out." "Do you really think I'll fall for that misdirection?" "I'll foil your plans and go with rock!" "No!" "Stephanie Dola!" "there's a one in three chance I'll lose!" "That's right." "he can only play paper! as well as a one in three chance of winning! and no chance of winning!" "It's obvious." "He's got no reason to pick anything else." "he'll pick paper!" "I hope you're ready to lose!" "No way..." "That can't be..." "I only convinced myself that he'd want a place to stay? but the fact that I feel jealous as he ignores me to talk to his sister..." "I refuse..." "I refuse..." "No!" "This isn't right!" "Falling in love isn't supposed to be a permanent thing!" "if I can just maintain a strong will..." "H-How wonderful!" "I will make sure I get a good look at you naked! I can see her naked without getting Shiro in the shot!" "A butler outfit!" "I love it!" "Stephanie Dola." "I won't let that guy from another world use me anymore!" "And that's why you can't win." "Those two..." "His negotiation in rock-paper-scissors..." "Their genius-level intelligence..." "The teamwork that comes from complete trust in each other..." "Is it possible that these two could save Elkia?" "What's going on?" "Huh?" "What happened to that vision I was seeing?" "My goal... it's to become king." "What was that all about?" "What do you mean? so this isn't weird." "Brother rejected me..." "I don't care about that! why didn't you tell me what she was doing?" "I could've won if you had!" "right?" "That's right." "I lost!" "and everything is over!" "In other words... so she's taking it out on us?" "I see. so you lost everything you owned and now you're taking it out on us?" "What a joke." "What?" "you blow up in rage at every little thing." "You're simple-minded." "Easily riled. and you're too conservative to take risks." "you never had a chance. it's no wonder you lose all the time." "Take that back. but I won't let you insult my grandfather!" "You take that back this instant!" "that means I'm right again." "Obviously the granddaughter of a foolish king." "You think I'll put up with this?" "!" "Then let's play a game." "A game?" "Rock-paper-scissors?" "Yup." "But..." "I'll only play paper." "I lose." "so it's a tie." "What happens if we tie?" "it's a tie." "you win." "right?" "So what are we betting?" "I'll comply with your every demand. then you can tell us both to die." "you will comply with my every demand." "I'm risking my life for a game of rock-paper-scissors." "right?" "And if we tie?" "You want me to give you a place to stay?" "Understood." "Then I swear by the pledges..." "Aschente!" "it is!" "Let's go. but not enough. you came to your senses" "I couldn't win." "You eliminated my chances at winning." "That was good." "you should've picked paper." "I'd have twice as high a chance of winning as with paper!" "That's how I was able to predict you'd pick scissors! you would've been able to play paper instead of scissors." "That's why I said: you're not good enough." "This game was going to end with me winning anyway." "It was over from the start." "right?" "I understand." "I can find you a place to stay." "Nope." "what did I say?" "She would grant you a little favor." "And what did I say that would be?" "You didn't say." "W-Wait!" "That's not true!" "I checked!" "I asked if you wanted a place to stay!" "Yup." "But did I respond?" "the biggest trap in this game was the fact that you carried the same risk whether you lost or tied." "But... that's fraud!" "I obeyed all the pledges when I challenged you." "It's your fault for not checking." "I guess it's time to tell you what my "little favor" is." "Fall in love with me!" "Huh?" "...in love with me!" "...in love with me!" "little sister?" "Pledge six:" "Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld. she'll give me all her money and a place to stay! you would've had all of that." "Huh?" "did your own desires take over?" "It can't be..." "Did my fear that I'd never get a girlfriend for the rest of my life if I let this chance pass dull my judgment?" "!" "Did I do that?" "!" "Me?" "!" "Impossible!" "How could I make a mistake like that?" "!" "You said you didn't need a girlfriend." "You said all you needed was me." "Shiro..." "It was just a tough front!" "I'm so sorry!" "I can't go after my sister!" "eleven!" "you know?" "and sexual needs!" "And even sexual needs!" "You said it four times..." "I refuse to accept it!" "Hey." "Yes?" "Can I call you Steph?" "Of course!" "No!" "No!" "This isn't me!" "Steph." "Yes?" "Let me live in the palace with you." "With pleasure!" "No!" "No!" "Noooo!" "Congratulations on graduating from being a virgin." "What is she saying?" "I can't..." "Your brother minds!" "It has to be healthy!" "Then keep it just to this side of "healthy." "Fondling breasts for reasons beyond his control!" "It was beyond my control!" "leading to..." "A panty shot." "N-Not... right... now!" "Sora!" "Are you oka—" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry!" "Forgive me! I'd never get to touch boobs in my whole life." "and we want these things." "What's going on— brother?" "Don't leave me alone." "Is this what happens when you two are apart?" "Brother!" "Shiro!" "Whew!" "What is wrong with you two?" "You're from another world?" "Yeah." "So that's why you don't have a place to stay." "You believe we came from another world?" "There is such a thing as summoning magic." "It's possible." "It really is a fantasy world." "what is going on here?" "Shiro doesn't like to take baths. so she never takes one." "So we've invited our good friend Mr. Steam to help out." "brother." "Then why don't you just go outside?" "Shiro and I can't be more than a certain distance apart." "Mr. Steam's presence is an absolute necessity." "my hand slipped." "Can you pick that up for me?" "What is this?" "A secret tool from another world." "From another world?" "Well?" "Did you pick it up?" "Yes..." "And she's perfectly in the shot." "It's really frilly." "It's hard to move in." "I wore it when I was a kid." "It fits you perfectly. so it's kind of fun." "No!" "No!" "I think." "I'll go make some tea!" "What's with her?" "Brother." "Um..." "Miss..." "We'll make the tea." "It's all right." "Where did you get that outfit?" "What should we do?" "my... very embarrassed!" "Sorry for the wait!" "Huh?" "Sora?" "considering there's a tournament going on to determine the next king." "The place is lifeless." "This isn't Japanese?" "I don't think so." "It's in Imanity." "Elkia was once the biggest of the Imanity nations." "What's Imanity?" "The human race." "The human race? but they were already on the decline when my grandfather took power." "Elkia was the only one left." "We had to bet the country's territory if we wanted to expand." "Imanity." "Of course." "What is there besides humans?" "Let me see..." "There are sixteen sentient races in all to whom the ten pledges apply." "We collectively call them the Exceed." "the gods who were defeated by the One True God." "The Phantasma are #2." "The Elementals are #3." "and made Elven Garde the largest nation on the planet. and #15 are the Sirens... wait." "#2 stuff?" "Their ranking." "I've heard." "The Imanity aren't on that list?" "We're #16." "huh?" "It can't be helped." "We have zero affinity for magic." "Zero?" "So Imanity can't use magic?" "Indeed." "Imanity lacks the Spirit Circuits that let them connect to the source magic." "we can't even tell if it's been used." "no wonder you keep losing. is there a library here?" "There are books in the study..." "But..." "They're in Imanity." "I'll have to learn it." "Yeah." "Brother." "I learned it." "That's my girl." "Praise me more." "you!" "You just learned an entire language?" "That's right." "That's impossible." "In this short time?" "It's simple because the spoken language is identical." "Brother." "S-Simple?" "The winner of this match is Kurami Zell!" "why did you want to be king?" "and I've learned a lot. and about your grandfather." "I see." "Were you scared of losing your position in the royal family?" "No." "You wanted to save Elkia?" "That's right." "that was the biggest reason... and he kept losing." "He was called a foolish king." "But my grandfather believed in the potential of Imanity! he honestly believed we could beat the other races." "I wanted to prove my grandfather was right." "I could prove my grandfather was right about what Imanity could do!" "Steph... and this world?" "Yes." "Of course I do." "That's nice." "I'm really jealous that you can say that with such certainty." "But..." "That wish won't come true. this country is doomed to fall." "It's doomed the minute the next king takes over." "K-Kurami... isn't it?" "Stephanie Dola." "Have you been dressed like that ever since I beat you?" "correct?" "You can have it back." "Listen." "You lost." "Don't make the same mistake as the foolish king who gave you that dress." "That's why people call you the granddaughter of a foolish king." "The game's already begun." "Sora?" "Pledge six:" "Any bets made in accordance with the pledges must be upheld." "This is yours." "For the moment." "too." "little sister." "no matter what he does?" "Yes." "Just like I promised." "I'll follow you anywhere." "huh?" "I had to work myself up to—" "You're lying." "You look like you're having fun." "I guess I'll take you somewhere more fun than our old world." "how long are you going to sit there?" "right?" "hurry." "Let's go." "Go?" "Where?" "We're going to prove your grandfather was right." "Sora!" "right." "Those cookies were really good." "Thank you." "Thanks!" "It took you long enough!" "Yup. "All conflicts are resolved through games." "right?" "So let's play rock-paper-scissors." "I'll give you a hint about how she cheated. you can do me a little favor. we've got no means to get food or a place to stay." "scissors shoot." "you know!" "I see." "So this is the power of the pledges." "Brother... no!" "I'm not letting anything R-rated happen in front of you!" "I don't mind." "Boobs..." "Lots of boobs..." "I know!" "I'm a pervert!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry!" "in that dress." "I'm honored!" "too..." "Steph." "You have quite the domestic side." "Brother!" "I'm so embarrassed... you learned it?" "You don't mean—" "It's better for a man to be slow than fast." "Brother." "I'm not small!" "including their classical forms." "You sure that's enough armor?" "It is most definitely not!" "Expert" "What is she fighting?" "Miss!" "Off" "I'll become king." "1)}Three:" "Each player will bet something that they agree is of equal value." "and any game may be played."
