The tiebreaker

“Miyamoto, just,” Mikiro sighed, which slowly turned into laughter, “just what is this? Have you lost your last bit of common sense?”

“No, but funny you mention losing.” Asuna tilted her head to the side and put a hand on Mikiro’s shoulder. “Remember when we first met four years ago? I got some compliments from our economics professor, you clearly got jealous and challenged me to see who got the better grade on the test. You won, and we kept challenging each other with various games and bets ever since.”

“Yeah, great times. But what’s are you getting at, Miyamoto?”

“Right now, it’s 57 wins for me…”

“…57 for me…”

“And 12 ties. So I propose a tiebreaker.”

“What’s the game, whoever can make a bigger fool of themself? Because I think you have a unfair advantage.” Mikiro and her friends laughed.

“No, not quite.” Asuna smirked. “We each stand on top off a table and ask a random member of the crowd for a pose. We both perform that pose and ask the crowd whose they prefer. We do, let’s say… best four out of seven poses? That seems fair, right?”

The crowd looked in excitement.

“And you’re gonna do it buck naked?” Inquired Mikiro.

“Yup!” Asuna spoke cheerfully.

“Seems like you have quite an unfair advantage.”

“You can also be naked, you know…” Asuna stared intensely in her eyes. “…If you have the guts, that is.”

“Oh, is that your game?! Thinking that I’ll chicken out? I’ll show you who’s chicken! It’s on!” The crowds cheers were deafening.

While the cafeteria was preparing for the game, Mikiro stood next to a vending machine, covered by her two friends Kimi and Aoi.

“Are you sure about this, Mikiro?” Asked Kimi. “You two have played plenty of games, but this? It’s going to far!”

“Relax, Kimi.” She stripped off her shirts, revealing a pink bra and her C cups. “Asuna’s bravery or her confidence in her body, it’s all false bravado! Clearly she expected me to give up immediately, but I won’t surrender that easily.”

As she took off her shoes, socks and skirt, revealing matching pink panties, she continued, “but you two can help me, since you won’t be allowed to vote.”

“Of course, what can we do?”

“Find as many people as you can outside of the cafeteria, and send them here.”

“And we tell them to vote for you?” Asked Aoi.

“No, I want to humiliate Asuna, since she thinks I’d be embarrassed this quickly. Ask them to come up with absolutely shameless poses. I’ll have her running with tears in her eyes from shame in two rounds, tops!”

“But… you’ll have to do those poses too!”

“Ha, any pose she’ll do, I’ll do better. And any I can’t do have Asuna die from embarrassment.”

The naked Mikiro walked towards her cafeteria table, while being met with wolf whistles and cheers. She stood on her table, looked a giddy Asuna in her eyes, and spoke,

“Game on!”
