Saotome Meari's confession target was Tanaka Yuzuna.
This was a safe bet.
Anyone could see that this young master's chosen target was Kurume Laiwei; he had been dejected ever since her confession.
As long as she confessed to him, she would definitely not lose.
And that was exactly what happened.
"Confessing to me again..." Although Tanaka Yuzuna received confessions from Togakushi Yukimi and Saotome Meari, he wasn't happy at all.
His chance to choose had already been used on Kurume Laiwei; he almost wanted to cry.
There were two girls who could spend the night with him right in front of him, yet he didn't seize the opportunity...
Compared to this, he didn't care about the four million he was about to lose.
Now all confessions were over.
Mikura began to announce the results in a flat tone.
"The girls' confessions are over, so now it's time to announce the results."
"First is Inui Chitose, your confession target was Kuroki Ya, and the result is [Match Successful]."
"Second is Kurume Laiwei, your confession target was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. The result is [Match Failed]."
"Third is Togakushi Yukimi, your confession target was Tanaka Yuzuna, and the result is [Match Failed]."
"Fourth is Hanatemari Kazura, your confession target was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. The result is..."
Mikura paused: "[Match Successful]."
Yes, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka chose Hanatemari Kazura.
"Fifth is Saotome Meari, your confession target was Tanaka Yuzuna, and the result is [Match Failed]." Mikura continued without stopping, announcing the last person's result in one breath.
"All confessions are complete, two pairs have been formed. Congratulations to the four of you."
Mikura tidied the cards, held them in her hand, and then looked at Kurume Laiwei.
"Although your confession was not successful, because Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Hanatemari Kazura successfully paired up, you also need to hand over your stake."
Kurume's stake for this round was the [Overnight Right] and 200,000 yen.
"I know, don't worry, I definitely won't break the contract!"
Although Kurume was the loser, she was surprisingly energetic, looking at Ayanokoji with tender affection and winking at him.
It seemed to say that if he was willing, she could hand over the stake to him tonight.
The game was over.
Among the five people, only Kuroki Ya and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka successfully paired up.
But Kuroki Ya's successful pairing was no different from not being successful at all; according to the agreement, he couldn't receive any stake from Inui Chitose.
In other words, in the second round of gambling, the only person who truly successfully matched was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka; he was the biggest winner.
Kurume Laiwei and Hanatemari Kazura each had to pay Ayanokoji 200,000 yen and the [Overnight Right].
As for Tanaka Yuzuna, he had to pay Togakushi Yukimi and Saotome Meari two million yen each.
Kuroki Ya, Ochi Ren, and Kuonji Mamoru, like them, gained not a single penny in the second round.
They exchanged glances and nodded silently.
They could accept this result; at least they didn't lose four million yen like Tanaka.
Kuroki Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had originally felt unlucky when he accepted Inui Chitose's confession, but now it seemed that this was something to be grateful for.
Kuroki was not surprised by Ayanokoji's sudden "switch." In fact, Kuroki Ya and the other two had sensed something was off midway through.
It was just that Kuroki had already made his choice and couldn't change it, while the other two also changed their chosen targets.
One chose Hanatemari, and the other chose Saotome.
It was a pity that this gamble seemed to have nothing to do with them; no one chose them at all, so their efforts were in vain.
Kuroki looked enviously at the biggest winner of this game, approached him, and quietly asked out of curiosity, "Ayanokoji, why did you suddenly choose Hanatemari?"
Ayanokoji shrugged, saying casually, "I just chose randomly."
In fact, Ayanokoji really did choose randomly.
Although choosing Kurume Laiwei would definitely win, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka simply didn't want to choose her. She was too proactive, so proactive that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was a little scared, suspecting that she had designs on his body.
Moreover, the system had shown him such an uncertain option for the first time; how could he not try it?
He just randomly chose between Saotome and Hanatemari.
Although Saotome Meari won two million, her expression was not very happy. She looked at Hanatemari beside her, hesitating to speak: "Hanatemari..."
Hanatemari gently shook her head, smiling, and said, "Meari, you don't have to say it. I know you never suspected I was the mole; you were just acting for the real mole, right?"
"The real mole?" Inui Chitose couldn't sit still when she heard this term and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you talking about?"
"Of course, I'm talking about you. Who else could it be?" Kurume, who was sitting next to her, casually said while browsing nearby love hotels on her phone.
"What are you talking about? How could I...?" Inui Chitose forced a dry smile, still trying to cover up, when Saotome raised her eyes and looked at her: "Stop pretending. Don't think I don't know you changed the order list."
Inui Chitose's smile froze.
"As soon as you leaked our tactics to the boys, we were already guaranteed to win. I really owe you for getting these two million yen," Saotome Meari said mockingly.
"So you already knew our plan!?"
Tanaka was shocked and didn't even care about his sadness.
Ochi Ren patted Tanaka's shoulder and sighed lightly: "Young master, isn't this obvious? Our cheating was seen through by the other side."
Although she won, Saotome Meari still had unvented resentment in her heart.
But before she could speak, Sachiko Juraku's voice echoed in the banquet hall.
"Everyone, all tables' gambling has ended. The stakes will be delivered to the winners by next Monday at the latest. If any girl uses a [Promise] but is unwilling to fulfill it, you can also contact our Disciplinary Committee... Over and out."
After saying that, Sachiko Juraku dropped the microphone and left the banquet hall.
Mikura also hurriedly shoved the card in her hand to a staff member and rushed after her.
As the final act, the host stepped onto the stage, her face still covered by a butterfly mask.
With a smile, she energetically shouted, "How was everyone's night?"
"Although the outcomes vary, this is gambling; there are losers and winners! In any case, I hope everyone had a pleasant evening!"
"And so, the 50th Matchmaking Party, hosted by the Hyakkaou Private Academy Student Council, concludes here. Thank you all for your hard work today, and see you next time!"
