Chapter 342
Helplessly, I poked the side of the cat sitting opposite me from time to time. Tianwangxing did not try to stop or avoid him, even though he didn't like it, perhaps because of my anger.
When I got carried away and pinched his flank and ponponmunyu, he squirmed in protest.
After sincerely apologizing, I took the opportunity to poke his belly button with my thumb, and he choked and spilled his drink. I was very satisfied that this teary-eyed little animal had gotten orange juice all over my mouth, so I would forgive him. A feast.
"Cough cough cough cough... that was terrible... I apologize."
Ignoring the meowing of the cat wiping its face with a Towel,
"Hmm, what do you plan to do after this? No one has come yet."
"Hmm...
The four of us are having a hard time. I ran into trouble unexpectedly... perhaps.
Hmm.... If it's slower, I'll use 'Communication', but I don't know if it's better to just kill time."
"But do you want to cut in line?"
"Not even."
Pfft, the bartender took away the Towel he had left on the counter.
"There are quite a few players."
Tianwangxing made a face and rubbed his fluff with his palm,
"It's impossible to hit anyway, so some people have bad habits regarding bugs.
Be vigilant about this, don't do that."
"That's strange..."
As for the "Zhou" example, I cannot regulate the amount of Aura myself. It's like continuing to strike a battle pose while in a slot, very unnatural. That is to say, it is still "Absolute".
Still the 10th day. I can't wait for the comeback.... Hmm, it's fun now. In the meantime, you can truly appreciate the value of Aura.
As I fell into deep thought, the cat next to me tilted its head and said:
"Hmm, what should I do?"
"Hmm...
I'm pretty sure this isn't Poker or a Slot Machine."
"If you're referring to what you're looking for, then it's Roulette.
Do you want to go?"
I was interested, the rules shouldn't be difficult, so I went to the Roulette.
The maximum number of Roulette chips is 100 Jenny, so we made sure to have 100 of them, with each of us carrying 50 cards.
"Can I go anywhere?"
"If it's 100 Jenny, Tonko."
So, go to the Roulette table, where you can see when other players and friends come.
There were chairs, but no one could sit, so the two of us stood side by side, looking down at the wheel and the board.
"Is it okay to aim for a 10-game winning streak?"
"Hmm. It's impossible anyway.
Bet on whatever you want to bet on."
While doing this, the stack of cards piled on the table turned into smoke, replaced by a pile of chips.
"Oh, you can bet up to 10 chips per game.
You can bet in one place, or you can bet in 10 different places."
Pfft. What should I do?
"What are you going to do? You bet too."
"Doing it alone is a waste of time, so I'll bet too.
I think I'll make it a place where Aisa hasn't placed a bet."
"... That's not a strategy like before, is it?"
"No, no, no.
This Roulette is neither easy to win nor easy to lose.... Maybe."
Looking suspiciously. This person didn't pass the information correctly.
"If I may say so, I don't recommend the five-point bet of 0, 00, 1, 2, 3.
This is the only place where the multiplier and the hit rate are far apart, and it's easy to get hit."
Saying this, Tianwangxing tapped the dividing line between 0 and 1 on the board with his fingertip. Are you young?
"Then what do you recommend?"
"If you're worried, I think doubling is fine.
Why would you want to double again?"
If I'm lucky, I want to get an item, that's right.
After some thought, placed a chip on an odd number.
Tianwangxing moved quickly, placing a chip between an even number and 0.00.
"If we do this, neither of us will lose."
I see. But...
Seeing us not moving, the Banker put the ball in, and the wheel started to spin.
"In that case, wouldn't it be more efficient for you two to place a card in each of these three places?
If you can make a bet like that, or challenge a double with two people."
"Yes, there are some strategies."
If you do it well, you can almost always win after nine consecutive wins.
But you make the same bet every time, right? I think that's really boring."
Ah. In other words, this is a match between me and Uranus. I'm crazy.
The ball stops. 15 black. I won anyway.
The Banker takes out one chip and puts two in my hand.
"After declaring a double, you can put it back where you doubled."
"……Double."
Place 2 chips on black. Uranus places chips between red and 0.00.
The Banker starts spinning again.
"I don't mind if Aisha wants to bet like this."
Yes? Is this a continuation of the previous story?
"In that case, you're very boring, aren't you?
If you want to play against me, I'll accept.
Shall we compete to see who has the most doubles?"
"Oh, very good. Very interesting.
Bet on what?"
"……"
Just as I was wondering what to do, the ball stopped. 20 black. I won again.
Say "double" on the four chips, then put them back on black. Uranus bets in the same place as before.
The Roulette spins,
"……If I win, I'll give you a full-body massage."
"Again?
No, but come on. If I win, will I give you a full-body massage?"
"If you want to do it, you should do it."
"I don't know what to do.
Hmm..."
I think I'll say something bad. I don't mind Uranus massaging my whole body. I won't do anything weird.
……Low. Green 0.
My chips are taken away, and Uranus gets 18 chips.
Uranus shrewdly protected the chips. Betting big, is it a strategy of doubling the capital without doubling the bet? Small.
Hey, I have two chips too. Are you leaving just like that?
"I agree.
If I win, will Aisha participate in the next underwater event?"
Yes?
"Well, if it's just like that..."
"Sukumizu."
"……Yes?"
Suku, mizu?
"──Hey!?
Nana, what are you saying!?"
"No. Sukumizu suits you, doesn't it?
I want to see Aisha wearing a School Swimsuit again."
"Ha, hmm? Are you really saying that?
……Hmm, please change it to something else..."
"Yes.
A full-body massage is a disgrace to me.
If it's not that much, it's not fair."
This...! You know how crazy I am!
"What will you do?
Otherwise, I absolutely refuse the full-body massage. Not fair, not fair."
He clapped his hands and got excited. Ore, the judgment of nyanko!
"I...
Okay. I will accept the victory."
"Oh, you say?
Well, I'll take it too.
If Aisha wins, I'll give you a full-body massage; if I win, I'll give you a School Swimsuit."
"... Yes..."
It is what it is. I think I did it again... no, it's just a matter of not losing. Hmm.
"Hey you two."
While we were playing Roulette, we heard a bouncy voice amidst the noise.
Looking toward the sound, I saw Bell-san and Motariku-san waving their hands, their Bracelet shining under the lights.... Come to think of it, Mr. Yuanchi is still wearing casual clothes. So are we.
"Wait, are you playing Roulette right now?"
"As you can see.
However, I managed to double it seven times."
"Wow, you've done so much.
... But it starts to get difficult from there."
"Excellently."
... Damn it. I'm still at 5 times and Uranus is just doing the opposite of me. This is a bit unreasonable.
"Who are those two?"
"He hasn't come yet.
"I definitely think we are slower than you."
"Come to think of it, you guys are late too, how did you get into trouble?"
"Well, I played for a while, and I also took a break."
"I see.
Well, we took a break too, so it's fine."
"I ate and drank, so I lost a lot of money, but is that okay?"
"Yes.
He seems to be enjoying himself somehow. Especially Bell-san must get used to playing."
... Hm? I can feel something fluttering in the distance.
"Looks like you've arrived.
Bell, sorry, can you pick me up? We can't leave right away."
"Okay.
Molly, let's go Together."
"Oh."
The couple who took over walked toward the direction of the sign.
"Eisha. Hurry up and place the next bet.
My double is going to disappear."
"I understand.
"Then I'll place a bet first."
If you place a bet while muttering, Uranus will also place a bet,
"It seems everyone is here, so if the current double-kill ends, will it be over?"
"Huh!?
Isn't that my loss!"
"That is correct."
That's right, come on! Damn it, I hate this!
... The other party hasn't joined yet. Now is the time!
"... Not yet.
It hasn't come yet, so if you miss the double, I will win before the others come!"
"Ah, yes.
After everyone is here, it ends when the double ends.
... Ah, I'm out."
Colon, the ball stopped. Green 00. Wow!
"Double!"
Since I have no other choice, I put all 18 chips Together and bet them all on black.
"Well, it's fine.
I don't think there's any benefit to it, whether you are impatient or greedy."
Uranus bets on red and green 0.00 little by little. I don't think I will lose.
"Isn't the battle over yet?
This is how you can afford it now."
When I poked Uranus's arm with my elbow, he made a troubled expression,
"... By the way.
Whether I have motivation or not, I don't think it will change the loser of the Atari.
If you lean forward in gambling like this, you will make a stupid mistake, right?"
"Hmph! At least I will be a little more careful."
"I'm in a bad mood..."
Of course. It seems we are still going to lose.
──Shh. 11 black.
"Double!"
I bet on black again. Uranus bets carefree just like before.
... Well, four people came to this floor. My doubling was confirmed at the end.
"Uranus, are you alright?"
"Alright. If you hit 6 more times, that's a draw. If you hit 7 times or more, you win.
The secret is
"Please shut up!"
I know, it's almost none! But it's not zero, don't give up hope!
──Shah! 26 Black. Here it comes, here it comes!
"Double!"
"Well, I hope you have fun."
Looking calm, the flat-betting Niyanko seemed to be getting nauseous again.
"……I mean, if you don't double even if you hit it, you don't have to put it on the other side anymore. You're quitting Roulette, right? Are you fighting?"
"No, don't be so angry.
It's just the Flow of things. It's a battle for now."
"Hmph. Suit yourself."
"Actually, if I stop betting, you'll be unhappy, right?
I thought I didn't want the Flow to change."
"……"
That's how it is. ……Ah, gambling is no good for me.
"Wait, I found you."
"Sorry, I'm late."
Mr. Bell and Meleoron, followed by Mr. Motarike and Seam.
"Sorry, everyone, please wait a moment."
Cologne. 6 Black. ……Here it comes, here it comes. It's becoming a realistic probability!
"I can guess. I'm getting a little scared."
A pile of green chips rushed into my hands, and Uranus, following my eyes, said timidly.
"Wow, what is this?"
"They are all 100-chips, so that's 14,400 Jenny."
"Ah, I see."
Meleoron looked confused, but I didn't care,
"Double."
Placing 144 chips on black.
"Hm? What are you doing?"
"Keep betting double the winning chips, and if you succeed 9 times, you will get an item.
That is why we must win 10 games in a row."
"Ah, I see.
Then how many times is this?"
"I am still at the third successful eastern light."
"Phew……
Fart? But 2 times is 3 times, so that's 8 times, right? So, um
Well, I don't know if I should stop now…… I'll let Uranus handle it. I don't want to lose consciousness because the Roulette started spinning."
"Because I won 18 times the first time.
1 bet is 18 times and 8 times, so it's 144."
"Oops. You are doing something terrifying."
"Aisha, are you okay?"
Seam asked me why. What do you mean?
"It looks like, is your face pale?"
"Uh……"
"Ah, this kid lost a bit at Blackjack.
So
"I get it.
It's 5000. Is my forehead too big for my first time gambling?"
Listening with one ear while watching the ball stop. 13 Black.
For some reason, the Banker pulled out chips, and I was startled, but 4 silver chips were added, and the returned green chips were a little less. 5000 was written on the silver piece, so did you change it? I was surprised.
Uranus let out an uneasy sigh,
"Fourth double success."
"Of course. I'm still going."
"Eh, Aisha, are you still doing it?"
Seam said anxiously. Yes, well, why not.
"Aisha, quitting halfway is also an option, right?
That way, the amount is large, and you don't have to force yourself to take it."
Uranus would tremble for saying unnecessary things. I also don't think I can win 10 in a row. But I must win at least three more.
"Double."
Without hesitation, I bet everything on black. Uranos put down the chips with a look of disgust.
"Uranos, what happens if we win 10 times in a row?
Can I get an item because the first number is large?"
"Nnya. There is only one item; the rest is given as a tip.
That is how gambling in Doria works."
I see. If you only want the item, you basically keep betting twice. No wonder he got off when Uranos hit 18 times.
"Don't be too reckless."
Seam said something like a reprimand.... Am I making you that anxious now?
Meleoron turned a suspicious face toward Uranos.
"You guys, what are you doing?
Aisha is desperate, though."
"Oh. It's a little game.
It's no big deal."
Ta-i-shi-ta-ko-to-da-yo!! How much do you hate me! I will never wear that kind of thing again!
No one spoke, everyone was silent, and the roulette ball clicked.
Black, 35.
"Oh..."
Meleoron's exclamation. Well, now I've reached my personal best record. I had a hunch I would get this far. This is uncharted territory... at least two more times.
The Banker managed the chips, and I had 10 silver chips and a pile of green chips.
"How much is this?"
"18 multiplied by 100 chips, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 times, so 57,600 Jenny."
"... Double."
Quickly. Pushing the pile of chips back onto black.
"..."
Perhaps because the possibility of failure was imminent, Uranos placed the chips with an ugly expression.
The Roulette started spinning, and no one spoke.... No. Let's all chat. Aren't you nervous about the hen?
A ball about to enter red slid over and bounced to black 28. Hi, I'm chilled.
This is a personal best record update, 6 times! 3 more times until I get the item, but if I want to tie with Uranos, I have 1 more time! Uh, I'm shaking a little.
"... Double."
Pushing the silver and green chips in my hand toward the sliding and black...
The chips collapsed! Oh my god!?
"Aisha, calm down.
I already announced the double, so if I tell Noir everything, it will pass."
Uranos whispered to me, as I was in a hurry. Really? I believe you.
"... Everything on black."
"Okay."
The playboy bearded merchant nodded with a sour voice. Is this NPC's voice like this?
"A piece of rouge."
"Okay."
While saying that, Uranos placed one of my chips in the red area where the avalanche happened, and as usual, placed the other between 0 and 00. It was just too polite.
"What is black and rouge?"
"Black is black, and rouge is red. This is not a common language."
"There's also green, but what about this?"
"Ah. You can't bet on green in Roulette, but I'm pretty sure...
This is the Veil."
"Really."
As Uranos revealed his trivia to Seam, the Roulette of Fate began to spin.
Come on, if you hit this, avoid the school's water! Come, come, come, black!!
The spinning ball finally lost momentum.
