How to Play Poker?

"If two people sleep together, I don't have a problem."

Fumino accepted Ichika's proposal.

If there's no way to go back, this is the best solution.

They're both girls, so there shouldn't be any problem sleeping together.

The only boy, Ren, can also have a separate room.

Don't worry about what might happen before it happens again.

"It's not too early to say it, it hasn't even rained yet." Asumi's voice tone was very relaxed, "It might clear up later."

As soon as she finished speaking, rain suddenly started to fall.

"Senpai, it looks like it's starting to rain outside." Yotsuba reminded.

"I'll call my dad later."

Seeing the rain streaks continuously through the window, Asumi took out her phone.

"I need to call my dad too." Rizu said promptly.

Her father cares a lot about her, if she stays out all night without saying anything, her father will definitely call the police.

"I live alone and no notification is needed."

Ren accepted the offer to stay at their house.

For him, it doesn't matter where he lives.

"Fumino, don't you need to tell your family?"

Seeing Fumino sitting there nonchalantly, Yotsuba took the initiative to remind her.

"No need."

With a thin smile on her face, Fumino gently declined.

After receiving this answer, Yotsuba thought she was just like Ren.

"By the way, if you guys stay here, our playing time will be longer." Itsuki suddenly realized this problem.

If they don't stay at home, their time together could only last until five or six in the evening.

But now it could last until night or even early morning.

Now it's summer vacation, so there's no pressure to go to school.

No matter how late they play, there's no problem.

"That's right." Fumino looked out the window, "In a way, this is a hidden blessing?"

"Indeed."

Miku somewhat agreed with her statement.

Although they couldn't play games together tonight because Ren couldn't go home, they could still be together before sleeping.

This can definitely be called a hidden blessing.

"In that case, can we have a pillow fight at night?"

Yotsuba remembered something and suggested enthusiastically.

Now there are nine of them, so a pillow fight would be fun.

"That's impossible." Nino denied her suggestion without hesitation, "This is not a dormitory, how can we have a pillow fight."

"Alright."

"I'll cook, and you can do whatever you want."

After checking the time, Nino stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Now is the right time to cook.

"Let me help."

Asumi planned to go and help Nino.

It's hard to imagine cooking food for nine people by one person.

"No, I can do it myself."

As a result, before reaching the kitchen, she was chased away by Nino.

"We've prepared the ingredients in the morning, and now we just need to cook them, so I don't need your help, Senpai."

"Alright."

Seeing the chopped vegetables and prepared ingredients on the kitchen counter, Asumi didn't say anything more.

At this point, her help is no longer needed.

It's better to say that by coming in, she only bothers Nino.

"By the way, Senpai, please bring this drink to the living room so you won't be thirsty."

About to leave, Nino stopped her and handed her a bag of drinks.

"No problem."

Asumi took the bag and slowly returned to the living room.

"Sit down quickly, Senpai, you're the only one left."

Before she could speak, Fumino greeted her.

"What's wrong?"

Putting the bag next to the coffee table, Asumi asked a little puzzled.

"Of course we're playing poker!"

Ichika took out two packs of playing cards and waved them towards her.

"What can we do with so many people?" She didn't know much about this aspect.

"Draw the joker card."

As she spoke, Ichika opened two new packs of playing cards, selected three big and small kings, leaving only one king, then shuffled both packs of cards together.

"The loser will be given a sticky note." Yotsuba took out a long stack of sticky notes, "Don't tear it until after eating."

"You should all know how to play poker."

After tidying up the snacks on the coffee table, Ichika asked them.

"Yes." Fumino answered with a smile, "Although I don't play poker very often, I still know this game."

"I'm definitely going to win."

Rizu encouraged herself.

There are eight people playing together, and there's an eighth chance she'll lose.

"Actually, I'm very good at playing poker." Asumi pretended to be serious, "I can accurately draw the joker card from someone else's hand at any time, so everyone supports me."

"That's not your skill at all." Ichika complained.

Asumi said seriously: "You can still get a little bit of it, besides, someone who can draw the joker card at any time is also very strong."

"In that case, aren't you the one losing in this game?" Yotsuba said in amazement, "Should we change the game?"

"No, I was just kidding. How could someone draw the joker card repeatedly?"

Asumi didn't expect someone to actually believe her statement, so she hurriedly explained.

"I'm very good at playing cards, so you should be the one worrying."

"Sorry, I misunderstood." Yotsuba quickly apologized.

"Such things don't require an apology."

"In this case, I'll distribute the cards."

After shuffling the cards a few times, the cards were evenly divided into eight parts.

"Let each of you choose one."

After hesitating for a moment, Ren imitated the actions of others and randomly picked one of the eight cards, and then he didn't know what to do.

Indeed, he didn't know how to play poker.

Previously, the only poker game he knew how to play was Oversize.

He never understood gameplay like drawing poker cards.

Originally, he wanted to say directly that he didn't know how, but after hearing the answers from Fumino and the others, he changed his mind.

He didn't want to be the special one.

Looking at the cards in his hand, Ren was confused.

So, how do you play this poker card?
