Hacking Ghost ~Karada ni Shika Kachi no Nai~ - Ch. 5

[EonNite]

It was obvious he was going to lose. The second he was at an advantage, I just knew the plot was gonna swing this way. Idiot. He got way too comfortable. If you know your opponent is known for cheating, why get lax? Should have done everything slowly and carefully. But I guess this wouldn't be an underdog story if he won too easily.

Did you actually read chapter 4?

How the hell does that ability even work? And why can people be late with payments when she can forcibly collect a bet? And what happens if someone is simply incapable of paying (which may or may not be related to the prior question)? Can I just make a bet with her for 10 trillion dollars and never pay up because I'll never have that kind of money? Or will her ability detect that I don't have the means and reject the bet?

Thanks for the chapter

By the looks of the last chapter if they can't pay they become akin to slaves

The girl who checked the cards probably did something only to the joker card or sumn, and the gambler girl used her ability to activate it when she wanted him to get the joker I guess. I hope the whole thing will be wrapped next chapter, we know he’s gonna win anyway
Thanks for the translation

I just want to watch him fuck his (step)sister.

 

[shwiftyshfifty]

I can't believe I watched that.

Bakayarooo

Credit it where it's due; this artist is good at both making characters look really sexy AND making them look really ugly, all while still keeping them consistent.

That's a lot of mesugaki Miku energy.

Why are so many people calling MC out for losing the first game?? He was meant to lose no matter what because she is cheating and they already planned for that so wtf?

There are ways to lose well and there are ways to lose while looking like a complete tool.

He literally could have won right there and then if he was going slow and cautious - like he should've been doing, given the original plan of trying to sniff out her cheating methods. But he rushes his play before he can catch the ghost dude's warning, for no reason other than being high on unearned confidence despite playing against a known cheater.

Weell it still works to his advantage, now she will be less suspicious of him and that can lead to her underestimating him which will backfire her if he uses it well

I have some issues with/questions about that theory though:

1. Why the need to threaten to gang**** the girl if her ability can turn her into a slave? Pure sadism?

2. Why is she not more concerned about making sure the other party has the means to pay? She was unwilling to bet her virginity before MC made his big offer, meaning she'd presumably not be satisfied with just getting a new slave while taking such a huge risk. Yet she didn't try and confirm MC actually was capable of paying up before accepting the bet, instead acting like her ability will make sure she'll get the money somehow. That does not sound like an ability that'll just turn you into a slave if you fail to pay.

3. It also makes the part where the MC noted that the money wasn't a problem for him irrelevant if you can just make up any number and betting girl will roll with it.

The ability just seems unclear and poorly thought out so far tbh.

That's a huuuuuuge assumption that you are making that just being cautious can bypass her cheating, someone else mentioned its likely an ability used by the other girl.

I assume that if you bet money, the ability forces you to take actions that will generate that money for her. Whether it is pimping yourself off, selling your organs, cashing out your life insurance by dying, or literally becoming a slave that earns money for her.

For number one just look at every important non ghost woman in the series, they're all sadists. Betting she wants to see them raped because she's a terrible person lol.

As for 2 and three we'll see. Since he'll essentially get the ability for a ghost I bet they'll go nore in depth at that time.

And if he plays cautiously and does everything right, but still loses because she's using some special ability, we get the same overall outcome without MC looking like a tool. That's why people are eyerolling at the way he lost.

 

[miles5k]

bros, it's all a part of the plan trust.

MC looking like a fool as he loses is to his benefit. It can cause her to underestimate him, which makes winning at least the next hand easier. The problem comes with the rubber match, because no way is she going to underestimate him once he does get a win over her, unless he does it in a way that seems like a fluke or she gets particularly cocky and lets him win the next one to string him along and make her (in her mind) eventual win that much sweeter.
