for Advance Chapter
There were fewer people in the classroom where the ring toss was being played than expected, so Yu and his friends were able to have fun soon after arriving.
The rules are fairly orthodox and there are no original rules for this cultural festival.
There are three pieces of three in a square , and the numbers are assigned to them starting from the top left, 1, 2, 3, and so on, with the third row at the bottom being 7, 8, and 9.
The numbers shown are points; if the circle falls on the 1 stick in the upper left corner, it's one point, but if it falls on the 9 in the lower right corner, it's nine points.
But not only that, if you line up a row, vertically, horizontally or diagonally, you get 10 points. In other words, if you get the 7, 8 and 9 on the bottom row, which are the most points you can get, you get 24 points plus 10 points, making a total of 34 points.
Each person can throw nine rings.
"Yu-kun, just try it once."
Although Yui said that, Yu noticed a certain fact.
This means that if they are going to give Yui a handicap, they must also be aware of her abilities.
"Hey, Yui-chan. If we're going to give you a handicap, I think we have to understand your abilities first."
"Eh? ...Ah, I see. That's right, hehehe."
Yui seems embarrassed that she hadn't noticed such an obvious thing.
"Well, I'll do it here then....don't slack off, okay?"
Yui paid the fee to a student in the class next to her, received nine rings, and headed over to the ring toss next to Yu.
"...Okay! Let's go, Yu-kun."
"Okay."
I wonder when was the last time I played ring toss...it brings back memories.
Yu and Yui stood next to each other and began throwing the hoop towards the target.
There's no way he'd get the hang of it after throwing it a few times, Yu thought, so he threw it one by one at a steady pace without thinking too much.
On the other hand, Yui, perhaps not wanting to lose, threw the ball carefully and slowly, aiming carefully.
And the result after all nine rings were thrown.
"Eighteen points difference..."
Yui was defeated by Yu with a difference of 18 points.
When you look at the scores, it seems like there is a significant difference, but when you look at where the rings are, you realize that there isn't actually much difference.
The order in which the rings were placed on the pole was different, but the locations were almost the same. However, while Yuu placed rings in all the high-scoring spots of 7, 8, and 9, Yui only left 8 out, leaving only 7 and 9.
In other words, the difference in their scores was 18 points, which was the sum of the 8 points and the 10 bonus points that were lined up in a row. Therefore, even though the difference was 18 points, the difference was only one circle.
"Hmm... but there's one difference. There's almost no difference."
"Eh, but it was an 18-point difference. Even the last nine points we scored were a close call."
Yu, who had already finished the ring toss, also saw this.
It was so close that if it had been off by even a centimeter, it wouldn't have fit, and at first Yuu thought it wouldn't fit at all.
"I understand that, but..."
Is she trying to avoid anal sex at all costs, or is she trying to stay the night? I don't know which, but Yui seems to want a handicap to ensure she wins.
Honestly, it's hard to judge.
Even if both of them had a score of nine points, there are three ways to achieve this.
The first is when only one ring is placed on the nine point, the second is when three rings are placed on the three point three times in a row, and the third is when all nine rings are placed on one point.
If you look at the points, they are all the same, but in the first case, only one ring went on the pole and the remaining eight were removed. On the other hand, if you look at the third result, even though the place where the ring went on was worth only one point, it means that the ring went on nine times.
Even if they are both given nine points, from a technical standpoint the third one is the best.
"Yu-kun...do you really want to do it that badly...over there?"
As Yu thinks about what he should do, Yui asks him an abstract question.
"Yui-chan really wants a handicap."
"No...?"
Yui tilts her head cutely.
There's no way Yuu could refuse a gesture like that.
"Okay... then I'll give you ten bonus points."
"Hmm, thanks Yuu-kun."
Yuu happily thanks him for compromising.
"All right, Yu-kun. Now, next up is the real thing.... The fight!"
Yui declared with a smile and a happy look on her face, and after making sure that no one was waiting in line, she called out to the students in the class and began preparations for the second round of ring toss.
"Okay."
Yu did the same and received another ring, and together with Yui, they started a second round of ring toss.
A few minutes later, Yui finished the ring toss first and was watching over Yu.
"..."
The score difference between Yuu and Yui now is twelve points, including the handicap.
In this quoits, which only has a maximum of nine points, even if you land on just one of them, you won't get the points you need.
Yuu is currently putting circles on 6 and 9. If he can get it on 3 now, he will get 3 points and the bonus of 10 points for lining up in a row, making 13 points. In other words, he can turn the game around.
Knowing this, Yui watches Yu's behavior intently.
She could endure anal sex for Yu's sake, but the truth was that she didn't want to do it if she could avoid it because she was afraid of feeling the same pain again as when her virginity was broken and it was embarrassing.
"..."
While staring at Yuu's serious look, Yui felt a little cowardly and quickly whispered something to him so the surrounding students wouldn't notice.
"Hey, Yuu-kun. Even if you win, we can only have sex once... But if I win and I go to stay at your house, we can have sex all day... Right? Of course, we can be alone in your room, the bathroom, the living room, and all sorts of places... Morning, noon, and night♡... Right?"
