The Inferior Girl (Chapter 67)

## The Inferior Girl

Cover

**The Inferior Girl** is the 67th chapter of Kakegurui Twin, written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Kei Saiki.

## Summary

Mary accuses Yua of cheating. Yua denies it and points out that the deck was selected by Yukimi. Mary explains that Yua had rearranged the order of all the decks on their shelves. From the start, the three middle schoolers were working together. If Tsuzura didn’t hit, Shougou would have either been stuck with 14 by standing or would have busted by having a hand value of 24 by hitting.

Yua suggests they flip Tsuzura’s last card over. Yua asks however that the Literary Club doesn’t take back the 9 million yen they’ve won from Nadeshiko. Yua cries and reminds Mary that her schoolmates used to be housepets. Mary explains that gambling is about taking risks. Yua wipes her tears. She says that she can now humiliate Mary without hesitation. Mary gets worried. Yua presses Tsuzura to flip her last card. It should be a seven of hearts, however, it’s a ten of spades. Yua tells Kaede that Shougou will hit.

Mary is anxious, as she’s certain Yua didn’t make a mistake. Mary’s anxiety rises as Shougou should thus have a J, 4, and 7, forming a 21. Both players stand. Shougou defeats Tsuzura in the showdown 21 to 19. Yukimi is in complete disbelief, as the 7 and 10 have somehow switched places. The middle schoolers could have earned enough profit before anyone noticed them cheating. If they got found out, they’d just drop out of the game. The game wouldn’t be deemed invalid because the deck was in a specific order. Yua did this as a way to get more money.

She explains that Tsuzura was in a situation in which she'd stand if she wasn’t aware of the cheat, but would hit if she was aware of it. Since Yua switched the 7 and 10's places, and Tsuzura hit because she was aware of the cheat, it caused her defeat and handed Shougou a hand worth 21. Mary is shocked, as there was no need for this. The middle school students would still be 9 million yen up if they refused the challenge. Yua, however, doubled this amount by successfully reading Mary. Kaede declares Shougou the winner. Yua is now the Literary Club President. Yukimi asks Yua why she targeted them. Yua responds that it’s because they destroyed her older brother, Aoi.

## Plot

Mary accuses Yua of cheating. Yua denies that she did, and points out that the deck was selected by Yukimi. Mary explains that Yua had rearranged the order of all the decks on their shelves. That’s the reason she joined their club. Mikoto and Shougou waited for Yua to have everything set before coming.

From the start, the three middle schoolers were working together. If Tsuzura didn’t hit, Shougou would have either been stuck with 14 by standing or would have busted by having a hand value of 24 by hitting. Mikoto is stunned. She can’t believe Mary managed to use their strategy against them and took the risk of losing 9 million more yen by sending a signal she wasn’t sure would work. Mikoto understands the power of the person that defeated Aoi.

Yua suggests they flip Tsuzura’s last card over. Yua asks however that the Literary Club doesn’t take back the 9 million yen they’ve won from Nadeshiko. Mikoto and Shougou had beaten Nadeshiko without cheating. Yua cries and reminds Mary that her schoolmates used to be housepets.

Yua helped them, and they’ve got their freedom back. She doesn’t think they’ll be able to come back again from housepet status. Having money is how they can avoid becoming housepets again. Yua adds that Mikoto and Shougou are her only friends and implores Mary to let them keep 9 million.
Mary explains that gambling is about taking risks. Yua wipes her tears. She says that she can now humiliate Mary without hesitation. Mary is worried. Yua presses Tsuzura to flip her last card. It should be a seven of hearts, however, it’s a ten of spades. Yua tells Kaede that Shougou will hit.

Mary is anxious, as she’s certain Yua didn’t make a mistake shuffling the cards. Yua asks Mary where she thinks the seven went if Tsuzura received a ten. Mary’s anxiety rises as Shougou should have a J, 4, and 7, forming a 21. Both players stand. Shougou defeats Tsuzura in the showdown 21 to 19.

Yua thanks Mary for falling into her trap. Yukimi is in complete disbelief, as the 7 and 10 have somehow switched places. The middle schoolers could have earned enough profit before anyone noticed them cheating. If they got found out, they’d just drop out of the game. The game wouldn’t be deemed invalid because the deck was in a specific order. Yua added this as a way to get more money.

She explains that Tsuzura having an 8 and an ace and Shougou having a 4 and a J was a combo in which Tsuzura would stand if she wasn’t aware of the cheat, but would hit if she was aware of it. Since Yua switched the 7 and 10’s places, Tsuzura hitting gave her a hand worth 19 and resulted in Shougou getting a 21. If Yua didn’t switch up these cards, Tsuzura hitting would have given her 16 against Shougou having 14 or busting.

Mary is shocked, as there was no need for this. The middle school students would still be 9 million yen up if they refused their challenge. Mary thinks Yua only made that switch so she had an opportunity to make more money. She successfully read Mary. Kaede declares Shougou the gamble’s winner.

Yua says she’ll be managing the Literary Club from now on. She’s now its president. Yukimi angrily asks Yua why she targeted them. Yua responds that it’s because they destroyed her brother. Yua is Aoi’s little sister.
