Chapter 77
"Chairman's wife, hello!"
Futaro respectfully bowed to Yotsuba again.
He was someone who knew gratitude.
Toward Ye Yu—the benefactor who changed his life—he felt sincere appreciation from the bottom of his heart.
By extension, he treated Yotsuba with the same deep respect.
In his mind flashed Yotsuba's stunningly beautiful face, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Only a beauty like this is worthy of the Chairman!
Hearing the words "Chairman's wife," Yotsuba's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.
"N-no need to be so polite…"
Ye Yu very satisfactorily patted Futaro's shoulder.
"Do your best—I have high hopes for you! Get the project done well, and promotion and a raise are just around the corner!"
Futaro's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this. He looked at Ye Yu with near-fanatical admiration.
If anyone else had said those words, he wouldn't have believed a single syllable.
But when Ye Yu said it, it sounded like a promise in his ears.
"I will definitely do my best and never let the Chairman down!"
Seeing Futaro now full of energy and motivation, Ye Yu smiled and took Yotsuba's hand as they walked out.
Meanwhile, Futaro felt as though his potential had been ignited.
He sat back down and continued working on the documents, determined in his heart not to disappoint the Chairman.
As they stepped outside, Yotsuba looked at Ye Yu with some confusion.
"The 'something to handle' you mentioned… was just coming here to see this person?"
Ye Yu ruffled her hair affectionately. In truth, he had no other purpose—just pure mischievous amusement.
The two walked on and soon arrived at their real destination: a large arcade center.
Unlike the other four sisters, Yotsuba had excellent athletic ability, and this arcade was filled with sports and motion-based games.
Yotsuba, who had never been to a place like this before, looked around with sparkling eyes full of joy.
After scanning left and right for a while, she finally pointed at a netted area not far away.
"Ye Yu, can we play this one first?"
Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
Today was all about accompanying her.
"Whatever you want to do today, I'll be right there with you!"
Yotsuba happily grabbed Ye Yu's hand and pulled him inside.
This was a baseball pitching machine that could launch balls at different speeds depending on the setting.
Yotsuba gripped the bat tightly with both hands, staring intently ahead.
Ye Yu switched it on from beside her.
Soon a ball came flying.
But the speed wasn't very fast—Yotsuba easily hit it flying.
"Yotsuba, you're amazing!"
Ye Yu clapped his hands in genuine praise.
Hearing this, Yotsuba's smile grew even wider—like a child who just got 100% on a test and was being praised.
Then Ye Yu joined her, and together they challenged the fastest speed setting.
After finishing with baseball, Ye Yu played basketball and racing games with Yotsuba.
Using his abilities, he also helped her win several claw-machine dolls.
Finally, Ye Yu and Yotsuba arrived in front of the pachinko machines.
This type of machine filled the most space in the arcade—taking up an entire floor.
It was the famous pachinko game of Sakura.
Players first buy a certain number of small steel balls, then use the lever to shoot them toward designated slots.
Once the balls enter the specified holes, the machine awards a chance to spin for prizes.
Depending on the three numbers that appear, the player receives a corresponding number of steel balls.
These balls can then be exchanged for prizes at the arcade counter.
The prizes range from small items like snacks and daily goods to big ones like gaming consoles, electric razors, and electronics.
And most importantly—they can be directly exchanged for special cards, which can then be cashed out at the partnered pawn shop next door.
This was Sakura's legal form of gambling.
Ye Yu directly exchanged for some steel balls and handed them to Yotsuba.
"How do you play this?"
Yotsuba looked at the machine in confusion.
Ye Yu hadn't played before either, but he roughly understood the process.
"You shoot the steel balls through this lever toward the designated spot. If they go in, the top part starts the lottery spin.
If the three numbers match, you get the reward."
After listening, Yotsuba nodded half-understandingly.
Then she picked up a steel ball and started playing.
Yotsuba's aim was terrible—almost none went into the target slot.
Watching her puff out her cheeks in frustration, Ye Yu directly hugged her from behind.
Then he pretended to teach her how to operate it, while secretly using his ability to guide the steel ball directly into the target position.
The lottery numbers spun rapidly and soon stopped.
But unfortunately it was 466—no win.
Ye Yu held Yotsuba's hand again and began the next shot.
Again and again, one steel ball after another.
Finally the numbers landed on 777. Instantly the screen flipped.
A massive wave of steel balls poured out like a flood.
"Wow! Ye Yu, we won!"
Seeing this, Yotsuba excitedly wrapped her arms around Ye Yu's neck and planted a big kiss on his cheek.
777 was the jackpot on this pachinko machine—about 2500 steel balls.
If cashed out, it would be worth 7000 to 8000 yen.
Looking at Yotsuba's joyful expression, Ye Yu gently kissed her forehead.
"My Yotsuba's luck is just too good. Want to go all out and try for another big win?
I heard the shop adjusts the payout rate after a big win to stop customers from walking away immediately. Maybe we can hit another jackpot."
Yotsuba's eyes lit up with excitement and she happily nodded.
Then Ye Yu let go, allowing Yotsuba to control the steel balls herself.
He only occasionally helped her hit the target spot.
Yotsuba was fully immersed—every win made her happily give him a kiss.
Soon it was 1 o'clock. Yotsuba had already won three full trays of steel balls.
And she was starting to feel hungry.
Since this was a rare date with Ye Yu, she naturally didn't want to waste it all on games.
"Ye Yu, I'm done playing—let's go exchange the prizes!"
Saying this, Yotsuba clung to Ye Yu's arm like a little bird.
Of course Ye Yu had no objections. He held her and walked toward the exit.
As they neared the floor's doorway, they saw a crowd gathered in a corner not far away.
This was fairly common in front of other games— if someone pulled off an amazing move, people would cheer "666".
But in front of pachinko machines, everyone usually played separately.
Almost no one would stand around watching others play.
So out of curiosity, Ye Yu activated his super hearing.
Then a beautiful but slightly unhinged voice reached his ears.
"Jabami-san, there are only 10 minutes left. I want to raise the stakes again.
The loser won't just lose one billion— they'll also become the winner's pet dog. Do you dare to follow?"
Ye Yu's spirit was instantly electrified.
Now you're talking my language.
His gu insects slowly flew over. Soon a figure appeared in his vision.
Red coat, black short skirt, sexy stockings.
Long straight black hair, fair cheeks, and that intoxicated, mad smile.
Ye Yu recognized her immediately— the heroine of Kakegurui, Yumeko Jabami.
