  But even though I understood it well, I couldn’t help but want to take a look at that sight. If I am to relate it with something then it would be Pandora’s box. Pandora wanted to take a look inside the box which god had told her never to open. As a result of opening the box she ended up releasing the various disasters that had been sealed onto the world. I was experiencing the urge she felt before doing something stupid like that. It isn’t something that can be explained by reasoning. There is something I really want to see. What is inside that box? I wonder what kind of thing lies across that back? I declare it here, I am not interested at the sight of a girl peeing. Seriously. No, really. I can bet my life on…well I am interested only a bit. Just a bit. But more than that, I wanted to know as a person, as a human being, what is the sight that lies ahead of that. That curiosity had become something that I could no longer suppress inside me. It was because the peeing sound had become lighter and the end was approaching. My body started moving on its own the moment I thought that. I made my presence disappear and peeked my head out of D’arc-san’s side and I saw what was happening there. 

  It was the moment I had opened up Pandora’s box. Somewhere I thought I heard elephant noises. The box was filled with despair. 

 「You gotta be kidding meeee!」

  D’arc-san…no D’arc was not a girl but was a trap.

 「G.. geez Jugo-kun! You shouted all of a sudden and I got it on my hand.」

I stared at the pervert with disdain. He was washing his hands while being angry. 

 「Sooo, you were a guy!」

  I was extremely frustrated at myself for wasting my time being anxious about stupid things, and I directed that frustration towards the pervert in front of my eyes. 

 「Isn’t that obvious?」

 「Don’t look at me with those eyes as if you think it’s a bit too late to say that! There is no way I would think of a pervert cross-dressed as a girl was really a girl…」

  Well, actually I had fallen for that. 

 「…B..but why are you dressed like that to begin with?」

「It’s because Tensai told me to wear it… I..I don’t really like this either.」

  He was close to crying and was shaking his hands. To me it looked like a cute girl throwing a fit. This pervert is confusing me. I loathed that my pure heart reflexively skipped a beat. 

 「A..anyway, let’s hurry up and leave.」

 「Oh, wait. We still have to discuss things…」

  I ignored D’arc who was trying to say something and I left the washroom and returned to the room. That was when my eyes met those of Tensai-san who was smiling nihilistically. 

 「Hm? Are you all  good now? Then hurry up and sit.」

  There is nothing good about two dudes entering a private washroom together. And there, a question popped up in my mind. It can be deduced easily that these two knew about D’arc being a guy and dressing up like that. So why are these two not saying anything about me entering a private washroom with D’arc? There is no problem regarding peeing together since D’arc is a guy, but it is a different story when it comes to peeing in a private washroom, in the same toilet together. It is a weird thing to do no matter how you think about it. But these two had accepted that. Why? I wonder. Is there a deeper meaning behind D’arc and I going into the private washroom together? The game commenced while I had such questions. 

  For the time being, I’ll make a list of things that I noticed while playing Daihnmin. This Daihinmin has typical additional rules such as cutting away eight and eleven back and along with that there is something called shibaru which is a highly strategic rule in which between the turns (the time which starts when the  first card is thrown and till the last person throws his card away and everyone passes) the cards that can be thrown are specified in terms of number and mark. Another distinctive feature in the Daihinmin we are playing is that we don’t have any social classes in it. It is a well known fact that what makes Daihinmin interesting is its class system. The ranks given out according to the descending order are Grand Millionaire, Millionaire, Pauper and Grand Pauper. The grand pauper gives his strongest card to the Grand Millionaire and on the contrary the Grand Millionaire gives the Grand Pauper the card he doesn’t need. This is something that happens before the game begins and the game begins from the Grand Pauper who is at the lowest class. But this Daihinmin doesn’t have that and the rule is that the game starts clockwise from anyone with the three of clubs. 

  The next thing I have noticed is about the person who has to deal the cards. Originally in Daihinmin, the Grand Pauper has to deal the cards but here the same person deals the cards twice and it moves in clockwise direction.  Along with that, I’ve also noticed several other weird points. 

  Well, the first one is. 

 「Hm,ah.」

  It’s that D’arc, whom I found out was a perverted cross-dressing guy, is acting weird from time to time. He has been coughing weirdly since a bit ago, is touching here and there on his body, is folding and unfolding his fingers on the left hand that has no cards, and is opening and closing his left hand. 

  What is this perverted bastard doing?

  I ignored him but he started coughing on purpose again and turned his passionate gaze towards me. I don’t know what he is doing so I’ll just ignore him. I kept ignoring him and at the end, he was on the verge of tears. But he did not stop with the weird gestures, it’s really confusing. 

  The second thing is. 

 「Alright, I’m done.」

  That Nanana-san is unreasonably good at it. She has strong cards everytime and it makes her take the lead in most of the turns. So, the game commenced with almost…no always how Nanana-san wants it to be and she easily wins and leaves the game first. I could say nothing apart from her strength being extraordinary. 

  And the third point is something that was making me really curious. 

 「Alright, you lose again Jugo.」

  It is that the oreo gets added to the oreo pile of the person who loses. In this case it got added to my pile. It seems like this oreo is a penalty and is here to count the number of times someone has lost. So, it naturally made a question pop up in mind. Why isn’t the number of the times a person wins being counted but the number of times someone has lost is? I tilted my head in confusion. The game continued steadily even while I was having such questions. I realized that I had played twenty games of Daihinmin when I came back to my senses. The result was that I had lost most of the games. I mean it can’t be helped since I wasn’t paying attention to the game at all. If you ask why I am not focusing on the game, it is because I have lost my memory. To be frank, playing cards is the least of my priorities. I shuffled the cards mechanically and struggled in my mind desperately to remember things. There was no way I could play highly strategic daihinmin under such a situation. As a result I kept losing and the pile of oreo in front of me kept growing. 

  But this is bad, I can’t remember anything. 

  I couldn’t find any trigger to remember things as the time passed by. I looked at the alarm clock without giving a thought and was surprised. The time now was 2:13. In other words, we have been playing daifugo for over two hours since I became conscious. Regardless of how long we have been playing, everyone quietly kept throwing away the cards. They all had a serious look and the tension in the air could be felt. 

 「Hey, how long is this game going to continue again?」

  I reflexively inquired after witnessing the air everyone had. 

 「Till… well it is obvious that we are going to play fifty games.」

  It was Nanana-san who had said that. 

 「Huh? F..fifty times?」

 「Yeah, that’s right, since this is Daihinmin fifty times challenge.」

 「F..fifty times challenge!」

  I shouted impulsively. It was a natural reaction. We had to do Daihinmin fifty times which meant that I had to play a total of fifty times.
