Book 15.5,: Chapter 5: A Treasure Hunt Game Filled With Women Troubles (7)
It was a little after 2pm. There was still plenty of time before the treasure hunt game would end, but I felt it was safe assume that we’d already searched most of the area. I took pictures of a total of six QR codes. We ranked them objectively, with three of them judged to be a 4 out of 5 in terms of how difficult they were to find. It would be a good idea to choose one of those to read first.
“Could you open up the camera?”
“Which one should we read first?”
“You can pick whichever one you intuitively think is good, Satou.”
“E-ehh? Is it really okay for me to choose? W-what if I pick a bad one?”
“There should only be carefully selected QR codes left. Besides, it’s possible that they’ve all been read already, so we might end up having to try them all in the end.”
We would have a better chance if we made a quick decision rather than taking our time.
“O-okay.”
Satou took my phone and scrolled through the pictures. She seemed to ponder it for a few seconds, but then at last decided to point her own phone camera at one of the pictures. It was the QR code I found when I stuck my phone underneath the sofa.
