I don't think there's any point for MC to reveal the camera behind him. As long as he prevents her from cheating, he'll never lose since he has ghosts telling him what to do.

Also, he doesn't want to spook her too much. We know the girl has the power to enforce the loser of a bet to pay up whatever was wagered, but we don't know if it has any specifics. If he calls her out on cheating she might find some bs way to declare this game a 'no contest' because he doesn't trust her enough to continue. I wouldn't put it past her to put the blame on her subordinates, declare the game invalid and give the MC one of her slaves as a consolation prize.

She could also just decide to never show up and make excuses to avoid playing the final game if the MC suggests a location change. He's still a man in a woman dominated world after all. Until he puts one of his loyal ghosts into Ririka's body to enforce upholding deals/bets, he doesn't have a reliable way to make other people follow his lead.

At least in the current situation, she has no excuses to stop playing.

I suspect her ability isn't so convenient. The moment she has her ability start the game, the conclusion of the game is enforced even if she's the one who loses. She can't choose to invalid the game or something like that later.

Else it's practically invincible, and also nobody would even bother to challenge her no matter how desperate or confident they were.

As for how she knew he was cheating, I think she's just used to everyone cheating on her. Of course they would cheat, she's in with a bad crowd and her ability can be enforced even on herself. It's why she plays only card games, as stated before. It doesn't matter how her opponents cheat, she'll always win with her lackeys abilities being these. The reaction MC has in the first game is all she needs to know he's cheating too.

Doubtless she's never had to care about how her opponents cheat before, it simply doesn't matter. She probably has to start thinking real damn fast now though. Remember that it was said that everyone hides their ability.

Yeah the resolution is kinda forced, the right and left swap ability only works if the opponent has a way to see your cards, how could she expect him to do that in the first place ? :thonk: But anyway it’s correction time, we all here for that isn’t it ? :meguusmug:
Thanks for the translation :thumbsup:

That's why shes cheating in more than one way. If her opponent isn't cheating it's already enough that she can peek their cards. If they are cheating, then the guy's inversion perception ability ensures it's still not a level playing field. She probably has him use the ability regardless of opponent without caring if they're really cheating or not, it doesn't matter. All this makes sense given she only accepts card games.

My reaction when the gambler revealed the trick.


But when I read all the comments, it made more sense.


At least the kick Nirasa did was a cool action shot.

I'd almost forgotten that Akemi, the ghost inside Nirasa, can't see any spirit except Nirasa herself. I was confused for a moment why Nirasa was needed for this plan and what she did to help Akemi find the monitor girl. Nirasa is the only way they have to communicate anything to her with without MC.

Hopefully, there's no more tricks next chapter. I'd actually like this plot to get a move on. I don't hate this newgirl or anything, but her arrogance rubbed me the wrong way and she's in serious need of correction.

Is it just me, or are those abilities described as useless seem like they could be actually way over powered? Like the perception altering ability sounds an awful like Aizen Sousuke's shikai release.

Considering the Protagonists sister has skills like [Instant Death] and [Rewind] I've had a pretty open mind when it comes to how OP these abilities can get. I mean, the MC can literally shove anyone into a girl's body and they can steal all their memories and skills with no downsides.

Technically, she could have concealed the information that she had the means to invalidate a game just to give people the impression they had a chance. It's not like there's a rule where she has to announce every little detail about her power to her opponent (that, and the brief mention/possibility in an earlier chapter about powers being able to change over time). As long as she wins and uses her powers to force them to keep quiet, it's not like anyone would really know.

Though, I would say I don't think she's smart enough to do that. That, and like you said, she probably was never in a situation where she even had to bother thinking about the possibility of losing before.

Lol, she needs quite a bit of "correction". She somehow managed to use her powers to create a sex trafficking ring in her own high school by threatening parents to pay her or risk having their child get gangbanged by random dudes.

Depends on how powerful it is. If it can only be used small time not great, if like aizen you can make people stab their friends very powerful.

It is overpowered if it used correctly.. Even the MC power is actually really OP but he does not even realize it before he met the ghost that have "similar" soul like abilities..

So basically the abilities of men in this world is straight forward unlike the women.. It literally does what it does.. But the woman abilities is really complicated and even effect abstract things.. That the difference from what I seen..

Basically in this universe the power of the "men" is underutilized because of discrimination. The abilities of the MC is hacking ghost.. hacking can meant understand, control, and touch the ghost.. He literally hack the ghost like he hacking a computer progam.. It is OP but it only works with ghost.. He didn't understand that ghost can possess someone unless that old man told him so..
That's what happening in this world..

If you look at Aizen in Bleach.. It doesn't look like that world discriminate man.. That's why Aizen can study his abilites without being underestimated.. and Aizen actually really smart so he can fully utilize his abilites despite his weakness is literally touching his sword..

I suppose that's one of the things I didn't get into, that being its easy to think she's sharp and cunning because of the usual card playing trope.

In actuality, we see that she's pretty dense in various ways...accepting a challenge from an ability user whose ability she doesn't know, accepting Nirasa's allegiance at face value, or even simply the limited way she's leveraging her ability for money. And card playing isn't that 'smart' anyway, practically anyone can count cards, and if you can see the cards in most games you really can't lose.

This is a bit of a stretch, but I think simply by inference, she must have demonstrated her ability before in some no-stakes manner. Not that you can't fudge and pretend to lose no matter what, but she must have done enough to convince people she's bound by her own ability.

That or perhaps they have a 'common sense' about how specific or OP abilities can get, which leads most people to believe she has such a limitation. I would lean more on that side given the magician simply inferred the lackey's ability on account of him being male.

So the dudes ability is to just swap left and right?
But that would only work if he knows what MC is grabbing before he does so?
Or does he just always swap it that would be even more braindead
Also I thought she couldnt see ghosts anymore after possessing the girl so how did they communicate?
She knew already he's cheating cause he cauld avoid the joker straight from the beginning. Never even drew it once. And the guy doing the swapping was behind her. So he could also see that and did the swapping at last minute.
And Akemi can't see any ghost other than Nirasawa the main owner. That's why others begged nirasawa to tell akemi what to do.

Would magic shows be less interesting if you knew the magician had real magic powers? I feel like that would only make it better
