Cover

**The Manifold Girl** is the 37th chapter of Kakegurui Twin, written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Kei Saiki.

## Summary

Nadeshiko said that the total amount of coins is 17. Mary accuses Nadeshiko of cheating since she guessed a number so fast. She reminds Mary that she explained that in Listen, Weigh, Jackpot, victory goes to players who can fully grasp sound and weight. Mary doesn't guess a coin amount. They open their banks, and the coin count is 17. Mary didn't answer correctly, so Nadeshiko won five million yen. Mary is certain that she's cheating. Nadeshiko explains that she has perfect pitch. She can keep track of the coins with the sound they’re making. Nadeshiko suggests that they gamble again if Mary doubts her. Nadeshiko asks Mary for the 2.1 million she owes her after losing. Kurumi is worried, as Mary already owes her five million yen. Mary goes to the bathroom. Nadeshiko tells Mary not to bother trying to escape since the morals committee can help her collect the money.

Nadeshiko thinks Mary might become a mitten. Kurumi tells Nadeshiko that she could have gotten much more money from Mary. Nadeshiko asks her why she is so obsessed over Mary. She believes that Mary is a fool who fell for her tricks. Kurumi tells Nadeshiko that she's the one who keeps bringing her victims despite her bad work and puts up with her despite Nadeshiko being thoughtless, arrogant, and friendless. Kurumi threatens to no longer be Nadeshiko's friend if things keep going this way. Nadeshiko promises to do better next time.

Mary is back. She asks Nadeshiko to gamble again. She wants to set the bet at one million yen. Kurumi is puzzled. Nadeshiko accepts to have a rematch. Mary doesn’t believe in Nadeshiko’s perfect pitch. She proposes to give Nadeshiko one million yen if she goes second and balances the scale. If she can’t do it, she owes Mary a million. They’ll have this bet while continuing the Listen, Weight, Jackpot game. What Mary really wants with this side bet is to force Nadeshiko into balancing the scale for her. Nadeshiko succeeds in balancing the scales.

Nadeshiko supposes that in another few rounds, Mary will figure out the scam. She's impressed about Mary being willing to burn through a million yen for that. Nadeshiko will bow out after this round. She guesses that there are 26 coins. Mary guesses that there are 22 coins, shocking both Kurumi and Nadeshiko. They think that Mary will be down 9.1 million yen. Nadeshiko realizes that she can now afford to have a Steinway grand piano in her own home. She plans on practicing with it and outclass Tsuzura at a competition. Mary grins and suggests they open the banks. Nadeshiko is puzzled at Mary's confidence.
