"Victory to you, is death." Yumeko showed a total loss of a hand as well, forcing a draw, instead of a loss or win. Midari looked as if she might cry. "That is your victory condition."

"This doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense. It just doesn't..." Midari kneeled on the table and spoke dejectedly. "Why put two bullets in? You could've put in zero since you knew you'd win. Putting those pullets in the chamber and getting the cards wrong just increases the risk you'll get shot."

"It's simple. There are six chambers in the gun. After I put in two bullets, there were four chambers left. If the score difference was five, one bullet would definitely be fired. If you get all five cards wrong, a tie's impossible." Your brain hurt a little here, forgetting just how Midari played her silly game and not bothering to try to remember. "I knew that that's what you'd think. If you decided to get one or two right, I might get shot. This isn't gambling. It's just a stupid game, pointless, and not even entertaining!"

Yumeko was losing her cool and you saw your opportunity arise. Now Yumeko was going to be frustrated and you knew exactly how she might like to take that out. On you. 

"You just said that you and I weren't alike, right? Gambling is fun because both sides have the chance to feel pain. Why are you trying to monopolize all the pain for yourself?"

Both sides have the chance to feel pain... You got stuck on this briefly. Like a relationship, I suppose. It's just different when only one of the people can get hurt. That's why... Kaede and I are... having such a hard time I think. We had the most fun because we had the most to lose. And now we both hurt.

"You're not enjoying the gambling. You just want to die!" Yumeko yelled at Midari, who was whimpering.

Oh, Midari. You shook your head and frowned, snapping out of your thoughts. I know it's true, but no one knows how to help you. 

"You're the type I hate most. In truth, you infuriate me. You're nothing!" Yumeko seethed, and you watched to see if what you thought would happen, would happen.

And it definitely did.

"Y-Y-Yumeko!" You watched as Midari's back arched and a stream of cum leaked out of Midari's skirt and drool ran down her chin. It was so lascivious in nature that you almost wanted to look away. "You're my goddess!"

Yumeko smiled and stood up.

"This was a waste of time, huh? I better get back to 'her highness', right?" Yumeko stood and began to leave.

"Yumeko! Wait!" Midari fell off the table, earning a bloody nose. "Yume... it has to be you! Just one shot is all I need! Give me pain, please!"

"I refuse." Yumeko smiled sweetly and then opened the door and left.

With that, you left as well without a word. Clearly, this was going to be your opportunity. But as you left, you saw her already in a bet with Ryota. So you stood back briefly until the exchange was over.

"Yumeko, are you and Ryota going out?" You asked sweetly. "Or could I interest you in a game back at my house with me?"

"A... game?" Yumeko's long hair swished around, hitting Ryota. "What type of game?"

You smiled deviously.

"A gambling one."
