**The Weighing Girl** is the 35th chapter of Kakegurui Twin, written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Kei Saiki.

## Summary

Aoi is convinced that Kirari will take the challenge of the call to action. Every Full-Bloom councilor gathers. Aoi tells them that the student council will be crushed during this year's great bloom festival. He counts on them. Soutarou asks Aoi what to do with the Ougatou sisters, scaring them. They not only approached Mary, their fundamental problem, without permission, they were soundly defeated. They clearly betrayed Aoi. Soutarou suggests an expulsion. Ouri disbelieves that it will suffice. She proposes that they seize any ability of the siblings to resist them. Aoi approaches Naoko and Houko. He knows that they wanted to lead Full-Bloom. Aoi adds that it's good to have ambition. He wants them to aim even higher: Dual presidents of the Student Council. Houko answers that the president's title was for him. Aoi tells her he has no interest in the council president's seat.

Meanwhile, Mary and Kurumi enter the music room. Although she doesn't know much about music, Mary finds that Nadeshiko is good at it. Mary even wonders if Nadeshiko is better than Tsuzura. Kurumi makes Mary close her phone since Nadeshiko is playing. After she is done, Nadeshiko welcomes Mary. She's the head of the Music Club.

Eneru tells Yukimi and Tsuzura that Aoi plans to make his move during the great bloom festival. Her role in that is to get hold of the Literary Club. Yukimi is convinced that Aoi is after Mary and wants to use her as a pawn when Full-Bloom rises. Tsuzura tried to contact Mary, but didn't receive an answer. Eneru tells them that Full-Bloom must be putting Mary in a more direct trap to get her in.

Mary asks Kurumi if Nadeshiko and her know each other. They do, as they’re in the same class. Mary asks out loud if Nadeshiko is part of Full-Bloom. Nadeshiko is puzzled. Kurumi panics and tells Mary not to just blurt this name out, since Full-Bloom's existence is supposed to be a secret. Kurumi adds that she brought Mary here to gamble on equal terms. Nadeshiko approves. In the music club, they always play on equal terms. There are no commission fees and the theoretical house advantage is zero. Nadeshiko announces the game they will play: Listen, Weigh, Jackpot.

Mary summarizes that the goal of the game is to balance the scales and guess the number of coins on the other side. Nadeshiko points out that the sound, the clinking of coins against the bank, is another vital tool in predicting. Interfering with the sound isn't allowed. Kurumi believes that Nadeshiko is a bad presenter. She doubts that Nadeshiko has grabbed even one festival-goer so far. The equal rules, the fact that there are no fees and her attitude indicate how confident she is in winning this game. Kurumi considers going somewhere else with Mary. Mary accepts Nadeshiko's challenge, surprising Kurumi.

### Rules

There are a total of 600 small coins at their disposal: 300 1 yen coins and 300 50 yen coins. A 1 yen coin weighs 1g, and a 50 yen coin weighs 4g. Each player also gets a "savings box". They then can put as many coins as they want in their own box. Both players then place the boxes on the scale and must guess how many coins of each weight there are in the other's box. Each player knows their own box's weight and can try to determine it by the difference.

If you guess incorrectly, you have to pay your bet. However, if you are right, you win five times what was originally bet.
