Rock-Paper-Scissors … The rock-paper-scissors form of rock-paper-scissors was said to have originated from the nineteenth century. It was a game with an unexpected history.
The three types of hand gestures countered each other, and the one who countered each other would win. The rules were simple and did not require any equipment. It could be played at any time, anywhere. It was a rather outstanding game, which was why it had spread all over the world.
The rock-paper-scissors duel between Seiji and Mai was the beginning of countless future duels between them!
It was just a joke.
However, they were indeed a little serious. They were serious about winning.
The first round, attack!
Seiji kept a close eye on his opponent's movements. He was able to judge his opponent's gestures in a short moment and react accordingly.
Scissors!
Mai used cloth.
Very good, one victory.
The corners of Seiji's mouth curled up as he looked at the other party's face proudly.
Mai's expression didn't change, but a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
"Not bad, but it won't be like this next time."
"Heh … No matter what you come up with, you can't escape my powerful dynamic vision. I will still win the next round!"
"Dynamic vision … How about this?"
Mai placed her hands behind her back.
"What!? This … this posture is … "Seiji put on a shocked expression.
"This is the secret technique of rock-paper-scissors, 'Back Stance'. Instead of striking from the front, you strike from the back of the waist. This greatly shortens the distance of your strike, making it impossible for your opponent to predict your next move with their eyes!"
"Gulp … There's actually such a secret technique. The dynamic vision that I'm so proud of … has been sealed just like that."
"That's right, you've lost your power. Victory will be mine! Come on, round two — "
"Uh …"
Scissors!
Stone!
Mai won.
"Ahhhhh … I actually lost!" Seiji looked as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
"Haha, now you know how powerful the secret technique is. This is a profound meaning that you will never understand. In the final round, I shall end you once and for all. "Mai had a condescending expression on her face.
"Secret technique … profound meaning … is indeed powerful. I can't decipher it … but!"
Seiji put on a strong expression and slowly closed his eyes, but he emitted an even stronger aura.
"At the cost of completely abandoning my vision, I can temporarily awaken the forbidden secret technique of my clan, the 'Mind's Eye'!"
"Mind's Eye!? Could it be the legendary … "
"That's right, it's the legendary rock-paper-scissors that once awakens, will be invincible! However, awakening it requires a huge price, so it is a forbidden technique of my race. "
Seiji made a solemn pose.
"I shouldn't have used the forbidden technique, but in order to defeat a strong opponent like you, I'm willing to pay the price!"
"Ugh … You actually completely abandoned the eyesight that you are so proud of. You really are crazy …"
"In order to defeat you, it's worth it! Come on, the final round — "
Stone!
Paper!
Mai won.
"Ah … I lost."
"Of course, this is a game that depends on luck to begin with … What 'Eye of Mind'? You're having too much fun, Junior," Mai said as she put away her chuunibyou mode.
"Aren't you having fun too, Senior Sister?" Seiji, who had also stopped joking around, laughed and said, "It's more interesting to create an atmosphere and make it more tense."
"We went a little overboard. Some of the people around us are looking at us strangely."
Indeed.
"What are those two doing?" "Is the booth staff putting on a little show?" "It's just a guessing game, why do they seem so serious?" Many passersby were looking at them with similar thoughts.
Even the manga author and editor had confused expressions on their faces.
'Whatever … fine, it's still a little embarrassing!'
Seiji and Mai swiftly reported the results of the match and had the student at the booth stamp their names.
Then, Seiji called Mayuzumi and Saki over and left the booth together with Mai.
"Sensei, this is the Senpai that I mentioned to you yesterday at the coffee shop, the part-time maid, Mai Houjou."
Seiji introduced Mayuzumi to Mayuzumi.
The manga author's eyes instantly lit up when she heard this.
"Senpai, this is …" He hesitated for a moment on how to introduce himself.
"Hi … hello, nice to meet you. My name is Mayuzumi Amami, and I'm a manga author." Mayuzumi took the initiative to introduce herself. "I've heard Harano-kun mention you before, and he says that you're an excellent maid, so … I'm quite interested in you. I didn't expect to meet you so soon …"
Mayuzumi revealed an excited expression as she looked at Mai.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Amami-san." Mai smiled politely. "An excellent maid … I'm just being paid to do my job seriously."
She then glanced at Seiji.
"You actually dared to casually tell others about me, you …" Seiji felt as if he could hear her say this.
He was indeed a little embarrassed.
But he had only mentioned her as a topic of conversation yesterday, and he didn't expect to meet her today. It seemed that they had some sort of mystical fate.
Mayuzumi's eyes sparkled as she continued to look at Mai.
She imagined how Mai would look in black-and-white maid attire, and she felt that it really suited her just as Harano-kun had described!
She really wanted to see it for herself. But it would be far too rude to make such a request.
Saki noticed Mayuzumi's desire.
"Harano, this Houjou-san seems to be by herself. Why don't you invite her to come along with us?"
"Eh?" Seiji looked towards the editor.
Mai also looked towards him.
"Junior Brother, who is this again?"
"I'm the editor of Thunder Bunko, Saki Yoshizawa." The editor introduced herself. "Nice to meet you, Houjou-san."
"Nice to meet you as well, Yoshizawa-san," Mai responded before turning to look at Seiji Mukai.
"A manga author and an editor … this is quite an unusual combination, Junior."
"Haha, there's a reason for that." Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
"Senpai, are you going by yourself? Would you like to come along with us? It seems that you want to participate in the special event as well, which is the same as our goal. It'll be more fun if we all go together. "
Mai blinked upon hearing this.
She considered it for a moment.
"Indeed, I'm by myself. I originally wanted to just stroll around like this, but since Junior wants to treat, I won't stand on ceremony."
"Er … I didn't say I wanted to treat … Fine, I'll treat you."
The Magic-devouring Dragon lost all of his treasures after being attacked by the Smiling Executioner's smile.
He received five million sakuras from the president, Grand Mistress, but was exploited by Grand Mistress's maid. Just what was going on?
Forget it, it was fine as long as she agreed to go together with him.
This meant that he was going together with three beauties, and three different types of beauties at that. Just look, what a winner in life he was!
His cell phone alarm rang (vibrating mode): 'Winner in life, your next confession is almost here.'
Seiji was rendered speechless.
Going together with beauties was a good thing, and being confessed to was also a good thing, but … this would give him a stomachache.
He felt the pressure.
