Never have I wanted to reach through the screen and hug a fake character more in my life, Chika is too pure.

Victories/Defeats:
Kaguya: 1/8
Prez: 2/6
Fujiwara: 0/1

Draws: 1

@Historybuff6969 The way the author is keeping track of these, and by extension how you've taken to tracking them, seems flawed to me. The amount of victories and draws are nowhere near the amount of defeats, but for someone to be defeated you generally need someone else to be the victor. Here it'd have to be Fujiwara since she played both of the others like a pro. Some of the other times are a bit too debatable though I guess. I also want to say the mutual defeat scenarios might count as draws, but the author was keeping them separate. Perhaps the mutual defeats are more like disqualifications before finishing than both finishing with the same results.

All in all there's really no choice but to track it the way you are and I find that irritating, haha.

Say what you will about her but Chika Fujiwara is not an idiot

 

[Twill527]

I believe that Chika is actually the smartest of the 3, and just plays dumb to fuck with them. This reinforces that belief lol.

 

[chrisvanart]

This was a good chapter. Yo.

 

[EirikrInnMyrkr]

I kind of understand why this chapter is being counted as Shorogane's loss, but I'm still salty over Fujiwara being robbed of a victory a couple of chapters ago, so I'm going to repeat my protest and say that this chapter, too, should be counted as a win for Fujiwara. She won the game they were playing, and she won the metaphysical battle that was being fought as well.

Also about the game: it's neat to reread after learning what Shirogane's word is. Fujiwara's sudden rapper possession wasn't just a lark to spice up the game, it was a ploy to hopefully irritate the president and get him to scold her to "be more serious". Kaguya's smile and silence was not her trying to avoid playing so she could win that way, it was her figuring out Fujiwara's plan and staying quiet to let it play out.
