Chapter 502: Short Story 1 : Shiina Hiyori’s SS – Memories I Don’t Want to Forget

Bölüm 502: Kısa Hikaye 1: Shiina Hiyori’nin SS’si – Unutmak İstemediğim Anılar

MORISHITA-SAN, Sol elinde bir kart tutuyor, hızla kolunu uzattı.

Sağ elinde dört kart vardı.

“Please go ahead, Shiina Hiyori. Feel free to draw any card you like.”

In this game, the person left holding the Joker at the end loses.

So… does that mean the single card in her left hand is suspicious?

“Her nasılsa… Bu kartı biraz merak ediyorum.”

“Öyle mi? Bu benim bulduğum gelişmiş strateji.”

But would she make it that obvious that she’s holding the joker?

“Ne yapmalıyım…?”

Instinctively, I felt I should choose one from the four, but Morishita-san’s composure was palpable. Was she trying to make it seem like a one-in-four chance by isolating a safe card instead of making me draw the Joker from a one-in-five chance?

No, perhaps that was exactly her plan, and that was the Joker?

—Hiçbir fikrim yoktu.

As I was seriously contemplating, I happened to glance over at Ayanokōji-kun, who was sitting behind Morishita-san. His eyes were focused on Morishita-san’s cards.

Ve sonra, o anda…

İfadesinde belirgin hiçbir şey olmamasına rağmen…

Garip bir şekilde Ayanokōji-kun’un düşüncelerini okuyabildiğimi hissettim.

‘The isolated card Morishita-san was holding was the Joker.’

I felt like he was looking at it that way.

“Lütfen istediğiniz gibi seçin.”

That was why I felt a bit guilty and couldn’t choose from the four. Az önce izole edilmiş kartı çıkardım.

When I turned it over… that card was indeed the Joker.

I was a bit shocked, but more than that, I felt relieved.

I felt validated that what I sensed from Ayanokōji-kun wasn’t wrong.

I continued to enjoy the game after that.

School life, where I could spend precious time with friends I couldn’t have imagined when I first enrolled.

Spending precious time with the person I cared about.

Sonsuza kadar hatırlamak istediğim anılar.

I couldn’t help but wish that this school life would continue for even one more day.
