6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 2 Chapter 2.1

Monster VS Little Devil 1

“Indeed, the deck is quite windy, isn’t it?”

Kanda pushing her hair behind her ears as she squinted her eyes with a content expression.

“It’s incomprehensible. Why did you bother to come out of your cabin?”

Maon asked.

“Well, obviously, I wanted to see whales, dolphins, or perhaps discover a new species of fish! Leona, I’m sure you understand, right?”

Yuu interjected, her eyes sparkling.

“Haha, it would be nice to see those things too. I just wanted to be near Hirakawa.”

“So, it means you understand, right? It’s about Shin, isn’t it?”

“I just didn’t want to get seasick, that’s all,”

…I mean, don’t say things that will make my heart flutter, Kanda.

By the way, as you may have guessed, I chose the option ‘B: Cruise Ship.’ Those who joining me on the cruise ship are actress Leona Kanda, stepsister Maon Hirakawa, and YouTuber Shibuya Yuu. Though it seems like Juujo-san is also on the same ship, she’s not around at the moment.

“Speaking of which, Ria’s disqualification for cheating was so embarrassing,”

“Haha, very typical of Meguro”

Kanda laughs. For some reason, the way she smiles makes me look envious.

When I made the initial ‘Fateful Choice,’ Ria was clinging to my arm, resting her chin on my shoulder, peering at the screen.

I was aware of it, of course (since the sensation of her arm shifted to my back), but I let it go because I wanted to see how the cheating would be handled.

As a result, Ria was given a penalty unrelated to her own choice and was forced to select a different option from mine – in this case, ‘A: Helicopter.’

“I’m glad I found out that cheating leads to disqualification”

“Haha, both siblings are being harsh, huh?” Kanda said.

“I didn’t say anything, did I?”

“Pretending to be innocent, huh? Even though you made Meguro a test subject”

Kanda smiled with a gaze that seemed to see through my soul. This person is truly unfathomable…

“By the way, Sakiho-san didn’t cheat, did she? She was also clinging to her Onii-chan’s arm,” Maon mentioned.

“Oh, right,” Kanda looked slightly guilty.

“At the beginning, I suggested that we all choose the same option. That way, whether we all fail or succeed, at least we could act together for the time being. The real competition could wait until we understood the rules and strategies a bit better,” Kanda explained.

“It’s incomprehensible. Maon was not given that suggestion,”

Maon pointed out.

“Because the first person, Shinagawa, rejected me. There was no point in telling anyone else.”

“Why didn’t you say it in front of everyone? There’s no need to complicate things by doing it one by one”

Yu frowned, tilting her head in confusion.

“I mean, if i said it in front of everyone, wouldn’t everyone have stayed silent?”

“Well, that could be true.”

Indeed, if I imagine that scenario, it’s likely that we would have been stuck in a stalemate, each of us trying to gauge the other’s response and unsure of how to proceed.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter since I wouldn’t have agreed anyway! But speaking of which, it was quite surprising that Sakiho got it wrong.

“What was it again? ‘Knowing it but pretending it’s a coincidence’… serendipity?”

“You mean ‘Knowing it as a matter of course and common sense?'”

“Wow, your voice is so similar! It’s amazing, Leona!”

Yuu genuinely compliments Leona. What a kind person.

“I’m actually good at impersonations. I can do a Shibuya impersonation too. ‘I have to be the absolute number one!’… How’s that?”

“Isn’t my voice different from that?”

“You hear your own voice differently from how others hear it, Yuu-san. Besides, don’t you think it’s too similar?”

Maon says with a slightly hesitant tone. I also thought it was quite similar too.

“Hmm? Well, anyways, let’s focus on Sakiho for now! Despite talking about how obvious and natural it is, Sakiho couldn’t guess which option Shin would choose.”

“Well, Shinagawa probably knew too much about Hirakawa, I’m sure.”

“What do you mean?”

“Given Hirakawa’s personality, I think he would have originally chosen a helicopter. Right?”

Kanda directs the question to me. Instead of simply nodding, I decide to respond with a question of my own.

“If you think that way, then why did Kanda choose the cruise ship?”

“Well, I thought Hirakawa would choose this option. Hirakawa is a principle of efficiency after all.”

Kanda explains with a smile.
