"Huh? Do you still want to bet?" Bella had a sense of foreboding.

Elena looked confident.

The expression was as if she had won the game, not at all like someone who had just lost several games of chess.

No, it's because it's Elena, who has lost so many times in a row, and now I want to be ashamed of the game, of course I will show this expression.

Moreover, there are definitely more than so few ghost ideas in her stomach.

"Of course, otherwise it would be so boring!" Elena took it for granted.

The more exciting, the more fun, and if you're bored, find something interesting by yourself, which has always been Elena's usual style.

"And what do you want to bet on?" Bella said.

"Well, let me think about it......" Elena thought for a moment, "Oh, yes, how about it?" If I win, you can go shopping with me on the street."

Elena smiled meaningfully.

"Huh? Buying clothes again?" Bella was a little puzzled.

Didn't you just buy it two days ago?

But seeing her malicious smile, Bella felt that things were definitely not that simple.

"Well, this time, what I choose, you have to wear, how about it? Oh, hahaha——!" Elena let out a smug laugh that drew many people in the salon to look this way.

Unexpectedly, she is still obsessed with changing Bella's conservative dressing style.

"That...... What if I win?" Bella asked.

"Then I won't force you to buy clothes." Elena said.

"Huh? How do you feel like you won't lose anything?"

This little smashed!

"That's fine, if I lose, you can just ask for anything, and let me do anything, how about it?"

Elena seems to be pretty sure of the game.

"That's right...... It's fair."

But Bella doesn't seem to have anything she wants Elena to do.

Think about it or Elena is more advantageous.

"Alright, let's get started now." Elena stretched and leaned back confidently on the back of the couch, "There are only twenty chances!"

Twenty chances, that is, ask twenty questions and then decide on the answers.

Don't just ask, try to narrow down the scope as much as possible, so that it makes sense.

However, there are so many things in the world, from the visible and the invisible, the past and the future, the concrete and abstract...... It's just too much. In that case, where do you start?

Moreover, it is not necessarily guaranteed to be a noun, and even if it is a noun, it may be a proper noun, so it is even more troublesome.

However, Elena said that as long as the meaning is in line with the meaning, it can be considered correct.

Despite this, Bella felt that Elena must have written something unexpected if she was so sure.

Since it is a word that can be written down, it should at least already exist. So—

"The first question," Bella said after careful consideration, "is it concrete?"

"Yes." Elena replied succinctly.

It's a concrete thing, that is, it's not an abstract concept. It's even harder to guess if she writes something like "love", "growth", "rationality", etc. However, there are many concrete things, and everything around us is possible, and it can even be events or objects that happened or existed in the past.

"The second question is, is it visible?" Bella then asked.

"Yes." Elena replied.

Then it is possible to exclude things from the past, including some historical figures and events, things that existed in the past but are no longer there. Things that are perceived by hearing, touch, smell, and taste don't need to be considered. Music and the like can also be ruled out, but it's hard to say about opera with visual effects for the time being.

However, even if it can be seen, from the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, to the various objects around you, the scope is still very large.

"The third question is, is it human society?"

"Yes."

It is possible to exclude things that already exist in nature, and only consider things related to people. However, human society exists in the natural world, so there are many things that will be applied by human beings. For example, fire, nature itself has existed for a long time, but human society also needs it, so it cannot be ruled out. In the same way, as long as it is wood, ore, pearls that people can use, these should also be taken into account. Some of them exist in nature, but have been modified by human society. For example, food, which only humans can grow. Or dogs, it was only after they were domesticated by humans that they became what they are today.

"Is this thing around us, then?" (iv)

"Yes."

Well, now it's pretty much certain that it's something around us. However, this range is still a bit too large. We have to come into contact with many things every day, most of which are products of human society, including food, clothing, housing, vehicles, pets, churches, ...... There are also general texts, diagrams, family coats, sculptures, and so on. Or some human activities, such as balls, celebrations, weddings, etc.

"Is it alive?" (5)

"Yes."

There are living things around us, excluding all kinds of furniture and everyday objects, then there are only humans, animals and plants left. But if there is life, the fruits and vegetables to eat, the cats and dogs, cattle and sheep, the sycamore on the roadside, and the bonsai in the room...... It should all be counted.

"Can you move?" (f)

"Yes."

Exclude plants.

"Is it an animal?" (g)

"It's not."

Then, only humans remain.

It can be determined that it is related to human beings, but it is a word related to human beings...... It's still too much. The inclusion of human elements alone is enough to form a thick encyclopedia, which needs to be further narrowed down.

"Is it an identity or a profession?" (viii)

"Yes."

Well, so far, the scope of the eight questions has been narrowed down a lot, and now it is certain that this word is about a certain identity or occupation of human beings. Even with this analysis, there are still a lot of things that can be thought of. Now that human society is so developed, common occupations include teachers, tailors, doctors, priests, blacksmiths, farmers, and lumberjacks...... There are also honorific titles, such as painters, poets, writers, musicians, saints, scientists, and so on. In addition, the social attributes of human beings themselves also include fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, colleagues, students, lovers, spouses, lovers, and ......

If you want to continue narrowing the picture, you must be able to separate common identities and occupations without causing confusion. And the question can only be asked in the form of "yes/no", which is a bit troublesome.
