Chapter 339

Stretching, Uranus

"Finally, this is where the main problem lies...

If you don't go to the Arena, Dorias can take two Specified Pocket Cards.

The big gambler's Easter egg, the Rainbow Diamond.

If I had to narrow it down, I would only play Poker and Slot Machine."

After saying this, Uranus turned his head. As far as I could see, the expression on everyone's face did not look very happy.

Mr. Bell tapped the table with his Finger,

"Well, if you only target Specified Pocket Cards, that's boring, isn't it?"

"I don't know.

On the other hand, gambling that has nothing to do with it is just like that."

"I understand.

Taking a break, isn't that nice?"

"Since we are going to mobilize people, I want to pick them up.

I have military funds."

"Hmm..."

"So, another Suggestion.

Doriascasino has a required item for a Specified Pocket Card that can be claimed elsewhere.

Why not collect it yourself?"

"Ah, I see!

Aren't you a person who collects fruit?"

"That is correct.

If you collect the necessary fruits and bring them to the place where Gursel is, you can get an S-Rank Harvest Tree."

"That's it!

... But. I tried my best, but I couldn't collect them, you know?"

"Do you know how many you need?"

"Hmm... seven."

"What did you get?"

"... six.

I did a lot of things."

"As expected.

That is correct.

The last one is in a completely different place."

"..."

"Huh? What is that, it makes me so mad!"

Mr. Bell tapped the table. Hahaha, I know how you feel.

"Don't be mad at me, I told you.

The last one is harvested in the jungle of Chanta.

Because you ignored collecting information, you will have a bad experience.

By the way, did you hear it from other players?"

"Ugu."

"Then, even if the information is incomplete, I can't complain, although I always knew about the seventh one, that's because I didn't find any clues after completing the relevant event. M.

If I had at least guessed the card number, I would have known that if I used 'Signpost', this place would be different.

Is it S-Rank? Can you get it that easily?"

"Hmm..."

Well, we are lucky. Sir Uranus.

"Honestly, it's a question of whether to do it or not.

Of course, if you don't get to the point of the Harvest Tree, you will have to stuff six more cards into your pocket with fruit cards.

If you don't like it, just ignore it."

... Somehow, the story is only being carried on by Uranus and Mr. Bell. Isn't it better to leave things to them?

"I want to take revenge, but..."

"Six free pockets are terrible."

"There are other cards facing pressure because the progress is incomplete, so I'm worried.

If you reduce the number of Spell Cards you have, that's not bad either."

"There are six people, so I think it's okay."

When I said this, Uranus turned his gaze to the void and thought.

"... I also think it should be fine.

Many Spell Cards cannot be bought, and Monster Cards are also difficult to collect and sell.

Oh, Gold Cards are also hard to carry."

"You have enough money, right?

I have extra spells, so if I mainly use them to advance the event for the time being, isn't that a problem?"

"I think so too.

In any case, you should finish your postponed activities within a few days."

Hearing the couple's opinion, Uranus cast his gaze toward the brother and sister.

"I think I'll be fine if it's around six o'clock."

"Me too.

This card management is your specialty, right? If you decide it's okay, I don't think you have anything to worry about."

"……Yes.

Then use Dorias to collect 2 Specified Pocket cards and 6 additional fruits.

Let's talk about who is responsible for which gambling."

It goes without saying, but since there are 6 of us, we will divide the responsibility among the 6 of us.

The team will be divided based on strength balance. Then, the answer that came out on its own is certain.

Me, Uranus, Meleoron, and Seam. Motarike and Bell.

Even if attacked, there is no need to fight directly. It would be fine if I could Escape. I am worried about the couple's team, but Mr. Bell seems to be very familiar with Dorias, so it should be fine.

The team division is complete, and the discussion on which team is responsible for what begins.

"As I said before, the Specified Pocket gambling is Slot Machine and Poker.

The gambling with six fruits is Roulette, Bingo, Video Poker, Craps, uh... Blackjack. What else?"

"Aren't you being silly?"

"Ah, yes. That's it. Eight in total.

None of the rules are difficult, but let's use what we want to do and what we know."

"Then let's play Baccarat."

"Hmm, Baccarat will end with a quick attack.

Bell, Baccarat first."

"However, I know Blackjack."

"Me too!"

"As expected, no one doesn't know it.

These are the first two cards; if a 21 with the same mark is issued, it is cleared. If you are unlucky, this will take some time.

Anyway, Meleoron's for Blackjack.

Does Aisa want to do something?"

Hmm. What should I do...

"Slot Machine, Poker, and Roulette are the stars of this type of gambling, aren't they?"

"I agree.

The slot will keep spinning. Also, Roulette is a bit...

If you don't win 10 times in a row, you can't get the item."

"Circle.

... That is to say, you can only bet on red or black, right? Hmm, even and odd."

"There are others. High-Low."

"High before and low after?"

"From 1 to 18, 19 to 36.

Regardless of whether the number is high or low, the high is the sum and the low is the low."

I see. I don't think there is such a thing.

"Because you have to bet on the double rule first, you can only bet twice after the first win.

So, since it is a type with 0 and 00, then...

If you only bet twice, the probability of winning 10 times in a row is about 1 in 1760."

Gee! Eh, isn't this harder than the slot? This will take some time...

"Me too, it's too hard.

There are quite a few players for Roulette.

I can't win, I can't win."

"Because I can only double by betting the chips I won, it will be nerve-wracking if I lose.

This also takes time and money."

Mr. Motarike had a look of strange disgust,

"...... I saw a person Throw dangerous dice when they won 9 times in a row."

"Idiot, that guy is...

But I know how you feel."

"The first bet is quite a lot of chips, so..."

"Ah, I see.

Husband. As soon as I see your face, I have a bad premonition, so don't tell me the result, okay?"

"……"

Hmm... if I have to, I will do it, but I don't want to go out of my way to like it.

"So I am Poker?"

"Yes yes?"

Just to confirm, which one is Poker?

Poker against NPCs and Video Poker.

"Is Video Poker a Game Console?"

"That's right. It's what you do on a poker machine. It's common in arcades.

If you get four of a kind or better, you get one item. It's troublesome because there are no jokers.

Competitive Poker is a battle between NPCs and chips. If you get all the chips, you get a Spell Card."

"……This is a competitive Poker."

"Okay.

Aisha and I are your Playing Cards."

I decided to be in charge of gambling like this, and as a result of the discussion, it turned out like this.

Me and Ging, Poker and Craps.

Meleoron and Seam, but Blackjack and Bingo.

Motarike-san and Bell-san play Baccarat and Video Poker.

The remaining Slot Machine and Roulette are unlikely to appear anyway, so anyone can play them if they want to. This area is sloppy.

It's not that you can't gamble other than the gambling you are in charge of; you can gamble on others, and after confirming that the team in charge has cleared the gambling in advance, you can play the same thing. What happened.

"It's already 2:30 PM……

Depending on the capture situation, tomorrow might be Dorias."

"That…… Ging.

It's really hard to say, but now is the time for Training."

"Ah, yes, yes.

By the way…… it's been a while, let's plug in the usual Training.

Even if I stay in Dorias tomorrow, don't wait until noon all day.

No matter what happens, I will start Training in Otania tomorrow at noon. Is that okay?"

"Yes!"

"Wow."

"Aisha, how are you……"

Groaning Meleoron, tired of sewing. I don't feel very well.

Ging waved at the curious couple,

"These two are currently in Training.

Well, it shouldn't be too late now, so let's move as soon as possible.

For the time being, I will hand over the deposit and obtain military funds at the Trade Shop."

After preparing to go out, I left Senchi-san's house. Straight to the Trade Shop in Antokiba. By the way, I decided to leave some luggage behind. Why would you come back? Currently, Meleoron is the only one carrying luggage, and that's just a light canvas backpack. My husband and I have separate luggage.

Deposit all your money and transfer the one million Jenny you took out from the shop to Motarike-san.

After Motarike deposited the money, Ging took it out again and distributed it to everyone. As a budget, we decided that each person would have 150,000 Jenny. Only Ging has an extra 100,000 Jenny to pay for accommodation and other expenses.

After making all the preparations, we finally decided to head to Dorias.

Ging obtained a Spell Card,

"—'Accompanied.' Open. Dorias."

Leaving the land of the prize city, flying to the southern sky.

Feet on the ground.

A conspicuous castle-style building can be seen outside the cityscape. NPCs come and go, but compared to other towns, it's worse. The standing NPCs at the exit stand out. There are also things like upstarts.

Is this the gambling city of Dorias…… it really doesn't look suitable for education. I wonder if it's really good that you brought him? Only now.

"I thought it would be a lively place, but it looks like an ordinary small town."

Seam said so……

"Nnya, it does at first glance.

If you look closely, you will find some strange NPCs doing strange movements."

"Really?"

"Sometimes I enter buildings without signs, but even if I chase them into the same building, they aren't there."

"Really."

"The only casino that is easy to understand is that big building in the city center.

The rest are difficult to understand on the surface, so if you don't know, you won't find it."

When Ging pointed to a castle-like building and explained, Bell-san swayed his body left and right,

"It's fun to look for it.

Some people only know the central casino, right?"

"Maybe.

The Arena has multiple entrances, so even if it's random, you can find it.

If you don't intend to get the Harvest Tree, then frankly, there's no point in looking for another casino."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that it's hard to get the Harvest Tree at S-Rank."

"……I only know how to get it, but I've never gotten it.

When I was alone, I didn't have time to gamble."

While listening to the conversation between the couple and Ging, I explored the surrounding environment. …… Although not close, I can feel the presence of players. It seems there are many Wari and other players.

"We can chat, but shouldn't we move sooner?

If this is an entrance, it's very likely we'll encounter other players."

"Certainly.

First is the arcade for Baccarat... no, let's go to the casino."

Guided by Uranus, it was very close to the city entrance, which felt strange. Entering the Bar.

After speaking with the bartender at the counter, Uranus opened a wooden door without any guidance and walked down a long, wide staircase leading to the back.

I followed him in a group—

A spacious area with luxurious interiors that couldn't be compared to the bar above. Figures of characters playing card games everywhere at the tables. The sound of clamor could be heard everywhere.

"Wow. Sounds fun."

Seam was happy. It wasn't bad for the atmosphere. But this was a place for gambling. Same as above, but it smelled a bit like alcohol.

"This is a casino specializing in Baccarat.

The unit price for chips that can be used at each table is Fixed. Are there billboards above?"

Hmm. It says 100, 500 on them.

"If you just want to play, you can play at your favorite table, but that table is the only one that will let you get the item you want."

Uranus pointed to the center of the floor, furthest from the entrance. Hmm, 1000? Don't do that.

"You can Exchange money at the cashier over there."

"Do you want to do it quickly?"

"Of course."

"You don't need that."

"Fine, if that's what you mean."

Mr. Bell moved and spoke to the NPC written as the cashier in the back.

"Welcome. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Book. Give me 30 1000-chips."

"Yes. That will be 30,000 Jenny."

After completing the payment, Mr. Bell divided the 30 cards received into his left and right pockets, then wiped off the Binder.

"Hmm? Can't it be put in the Binder?"

"Yes.

You can even use it in item status, which makes it easier to handle."

"That's why it's troublesome to get them one by one."

"Oh, yes."

I see. Put it in your pocket and wait a moment.

"Why don't you look at the card?"

Saying this, Mr. Bell handed me the card he took out of his pocket.

"617: 1000 Casino Chips"

Rank H Card, Limit ∞

Purple chips used for certain gambling in Dolias.

Can be used as a card or an item.

I see, how do you feel? Does this mean it can also be used for other gambling?

Seam also wanted to see, so I gave it to him, and then we walked to the most important table.

"There are no other players here."

"It's going to end soon, so unless you like Baccarat, I don't think you can go here."

"Other places take time."

"This might be the first reason."

When he got the 1000 chips, Mr. Bell pulled out a chair and sat down. The feeling of an out-of-place child was amazing. Sorry, it doesn't suit you... it's not even a good lady's outfit. I know he dressed up nicely and has accessories everywhere, but he has a strong sense of stretching. Is it an age issue?

"Looks good."

"There are no tricks to show, that's just how it is."

"I know.

But Koch has a gambling Beginner."

Uranus said, looking at Seam.... That's not surprising. Even if we think it's taken for granted, Beginners will have ridiculous misunderstandings. I want to avoid such things just because I'm gambling with money.

When Mr. Bell sat down and dragged the chair forward, the dealer spoke to him.

"Welcome, Miss.

Do you need an explanation of the rules?"

"I don't need one."

"Oh."

"Then please place a bet."

"It's fine, I will explain."

During this Exchange, Seam's card turned into an item. Smoke also came out of Mr. Bell's pocket. Uranus picked up the chip that was about to fall and dropped it onto Seam's palm.

Seam looked at the purple round chip, and Mr. Bell rattled in his pocket.

"Seam-kun, can I explain?"

"Oh, yes."

"Yes, yes, yes.

Alright? Let's start with me being stupid."

Mr. Bell nodded happily, his Finger pointing at the lines and letters on the table.

--Bride's explanation--

"That's how it is. Well, I don't care about the detailed rules.

There's only one place to bet anyway."

For now, I understand the rules, but that line ruins it.... Still, it's fine.

Uranus tilted his head and said "Hmm,"

"If you want to play, why not bet on the standard pair instead of betting elsewhere?"

"I could do that, but if I lose, it'll be tough.

It seems like I can't even win with fifty thousand."

"Excellently...

Indeed, the more you bet, the easier it is to win in total."

"I just want to see how it goes, maybe I'll bet on something else."

"Lianghai"

Mr. Bell changed his attitude after hearing Mr. Chen's words. This person is also kind.

"Then orthodox, perfect pair and player"

Saying this, Mr. Bell placed a purple chip on each spot. Making your palm tremble,

"Deadline"

The Banker deals the cards. Two cards are placed face down on the spots written as Player and Banker.

"Flip"

Reaching for the player's cards, pulling them directly onto the table.

The Banker flips over the Banker's contents, which are 6 and K.

"Hard"

"Molly, shut up."

Mr. Bell, he turns over and discards his cards. Ah, I see. Do you like the process of getting a result like this? Otherwise, it seems no different from Chohan gambling.

Bell's cards are 4 and 7.

The Banker deals another card to the player's table.

Mr. Bell draws the card again, slowly flipping it over vertically.

The third one is... 4. Bell's cards are 4, 7, and 4. Ah.

The Player's strength is 5, and the Banker's strength is 6.

The Banker wins because only the strength of the last digit is considered, and face cards are treated as 0.

"Bad luck"

"Well, let's play together.

Unless you get a perfect pair, you won't win."

"I know.

... Xin Jun, do you understand now?"

"Somehow...

One thing. In this case, what happens in a tie?"

"If you bet on a player, you get it back.

If you bet on the Banker, the same is true. But your bet on the perfect pair will be taken away."

"Of course, at this rate, it will take time."

"From now on, I'll do it with Cha Cha.

Molly, take turns every five times."

"Okay."

Uranus looked around with this seemingly serious couple.

"Hmm, what should we do?

Looking around isn't very fun.

Either play Baccarat at another table or go to another casino."

"Hey, hey, do you want to leave me alone?"

"It's fine. You never know when you'll win."

I was a bit confused by the answer from the couple with differing opinions. Alright.

"Why don't we go to another casino?

If you want to play, Blackjack seems nice."

"... If big sister says so."

"There aren't many players coming here, so it shouldn't be too dangerous.

What is everyone doing after winning?"

"Hmm...

I don't mind playing Video Poker, but isn't it better to understand the situation face-to-face?"

"Then Aisha and I will be at the central casino, please come over and find me."

"If you cannot find it, you may use 'Communication'."

"Understood."

"The matter has been resolved; can we leave now?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, it was my own decision, Aisha."

"Then we shall all go to the next casino."

This Baccarat game uses an 8-deck system (8 decks, 52 cards per deck).

Probability of obtaining a Perfect Pair.

The probability that either the Player or the Banker has identical cards (for example, the player receives two 3s as their first two cards) is approximately 1 in 30.
