@tsuu yuuri is pretty dumb too, she should've let him use her this time, otherwise they are f*cked. He's the only one who can win them this game and she's acting on emotions, instincts alone.
"Akira is playing the game, but he's not playing the game of the heart." - not sure you can afford to play the game of the heart if you want to survive this.
Holy crap this chapter had a bunch of twists.
Also, good job on Yuuri for finally realizing that MC just uses people to his advantage, no feelings involved, but this is like the worst time for her to go AWOL. Plain instincts just stands no chance to MC’s careful planning.
