Chapter 343

Cologne, and. The place where the ball landed.

Green 00.

... Teeth?

"Woooooo

ugogogo... It sank again. One more time, just one more time! It's terrifying... If you're going to lose no matter what, Hana, don't give me hope...

"Arian.

It starts with double zero and ends with double zero."

Uranus sighed in relief. Get out of here, you damn idiot Niyanko. Wooooo...!

"Aisha, are you okay?"

It seems the voice of heartfelt concern hurts. You don't have to be nice to yourself just because you're an idiot.

... I don't care either. Sukumizu, can you wear it again? Ah... it's so hard.

"You guys, what are you betting?"

Meleoron must have guessed this abnormal appearance from my look, and asked Meleoron in a truly puzzled way.

"For the sake of reputation, I will keep it a secret."

Uranus refused to answer.... Yeah, if I take it apart here, I might beat you.

"Isn't it?

Aren't you guys betting against each other?"

"............"

Ptooey. Mr. Bell, this kind of light is sharp. Even if we don't bump into each other, we won't be too far apart.

"Eh, seriously?

What are you betting?"

"... That's why it's a secret.

It's not what you guys think."

Hmm...

"Well, it seems like two people taking a bath together, that should be pretty good."

"... But Aisha, aren't you too depressed?"

I squatted down, my forehead resting on the edge of the table. I didn't have the strength to get up... I know Seam is worried.

"That?

I missed it, but I have a lot of chips."

"What...?"

Responding to Seam's voice, I stretched and looked toward the table.

Then, although the quantity had decreased, a pile of chips was coming toward me. Teeth? Why?

"Oh, it's this, right?

Surrender."

"Yes. It's a guy with 38 eyes."

"... What do you mean?"

Mr. Bell and Uranus spoke as if they understood, so I asked.

"Only when you bet twice, if 0.00 appears, you won't lose, and you'll get half the bet back. But well...

The doubling will be interrupted."

............ I looked at the pile of chips with half-closed eyes.

In other words, I didn't bother everyone with a big loss, but in reality, I was the only one who failed. Ahhh... I want to come to Nyankoshiba.

"Good job, Aisha."

"Uh..."

Seam cheered me up, but I had already lost my mind. So let me say it first.... No, since you mentioned it, I think I got a few chips when the green came out. Did I just miss it by chance?

"What are you going to do next?

Are you still playing Roulette?"

I shook my head at Mr. Bell's words. It wasn't that bad, but I didn't have the energy to continue.

"No, let's take a break.

I want to tidy up. Let's book a room at this Inn."

After Uranus's words, my gaze focused on me.... Yes, I understand.

I straightened my knees and forced myself to stand up.

"Are you okay, Aisha?"

"Okay, let's go quickly."

I yelled at the silly cat who was now worried about me, and urged her to hurry up with my chin.... Damn it, what am I doing...

On the way, Uranus was scolded by his siblings for bullying and hurting me. After the six of us entered the Hotel room, Uranus cried half to death, feeling depressed.

"I just wanted you to have fun..."

Well, that was fun. I wish I had won!... The shock of losing was too great, I'm really depressed.

"Well, Seam?

This is the Fate of those who ruin their lives through gambling."

"Uh, yes..."

Wait for Meleoron. Don't lump me in with Uranus like that.... Fine, I don't want Seam to imitate it.

"Ahahaha

It's really funny, you guys."

"It's lively, isn't it?"

The couple took a step away from each other, and had that feeling. No, you probably did too, right?

"I don't want you to tell me..."

When Uranus replied in a bad mood, Mr. Motarike tilted his head with an amused look on his face.

"Hm?

Are you going to admit that this is just a flirting quarrel?"

"Huh!? That's a bit messy!!"

"... That's wrong."

What is a flirting quarrel?... From Fugura's perspective, it might be like that.

"Damn it...

Meleoron. On the contrary, it's because we won at the gambling itself, right?

This is a total plus."

"Really? A plus item?"

"... Yeah. Just as expected.

An added item is a plus."

"Okay..."

Cheerful, low-key Seam.... That's right, losing will make you feel frustrated. I know, I know.

"But Seam, you don't know how much that thing sells for.

Still don't get it?"

"Alright, let's settle this.

Book."

"Book."

Everyone took out their Binder. Then I started checking the situation.

Uranus and I got an Event Card.

400,000 → 389,500 Jenny.

"43: Egg of the Great Gambler"

B-Rank Card, limit 30.

Keep it warm with both hands for three hours a day,

hatches into a real egg after 1 to 10 years.

The stronger the wish felt while warming it, the faster it hatches.

"I wasn't at the Poker table, I wonder if that's possible, but did you actually win?

Don't be like that."

"Well, if you have a budget, you can manage."

"Even so, you only used 10,000 Jenny, didn't you?"

"No, I spent 50,000 on Poker. Though, Aisha."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was me who threw it anyway!"

"But you almost won it back with Roulette."

"... I don't believe it at all."

As a result, in terms of content, I lost at Poker and Roulette. Ah, not funny.

"How much will these eggs sell for?"

"300,000.

So if you exchange it for money, that's 289,500 Jenny."

... Isn't this an overwhelming victory for Uranus?

Anyway, next are Meleoron and Seam.

"... Do I have to show it?"

"That is correct."

"Seam, you can't help but want to see it too, right?

I saved a lot of money."

"Yeah..."

Meleoron looks fine, but Seam is unwilling to show it. Is this a big loss?

The siblings obtained an Event Card.

The money on hand is 300,000 → 220,000 Jenny.

"299: Spicy Lemon"

F-Rank Card, limit 165.

A rare fruit with a painfully sour taste.

Just one drop can turn a cup of plain water into lemon juice in one punch.

Of course, there is one. —But there are two identical ones. Why?

"What's wrong?"

"Yeah, it really went smoothly at the beginning.

Starting with me, Blackjack came out when I had won 30,000.

It was over in five minutes."

"Is Blackjack the same mark?"

"Yes. I got this thing."

"What, isn't this starting from scratch?

You should have joined us immediately."

"I said that too."

"..."

Seam looks complicated.... Perhaps I am the same way.

"Then Seam complained that it was boring even after he learned the rules."

"... Because"

"Everything is an experience.

What?"

"You don't have to take anything, Seam did it for you at the 1000-chip table.

Then, this kid made a mistake at the start, lost, and later recovered quite a bit."

"Really?

I've played Blackjack many times."

"Yes."

"Seems like a total of about 15,000 was won there, and also got the same score in Blackjack.

In this case, I wonder if I should have let him do it with 5000 toco.

I'm used to it, so I thought it would be fine."

"Whew..."

Uranus nods as if thinking, and Seam lowers his gaze. This is gambling. Both winning and losing are normal.

"When I let Seam play at the 5000 table, I got hooked on it.

Desperately trying to find what I lost, I messed up unnecessarily."

"Because..."

Uranus looks at me with a meaningful gaze.... I know. I'm the same, damn it.

"The money we won together was all wiped out, and in the end, it fell to negative 100,000."

Wow.

"Ahahahaha

Don't do that, Seam!"

Mr. Bell claps his hands happily. Hey, stop saying that, Seam, you're crying.

"Wait a minute, look at the atmosphere.

You keep saying Bell's gambling addiction is strange."

"Oh, yes. Sorry."

Motarike-san protests to Bell-san.... If I remember correctly, it is said that this person also did something to Doreas. I don't think that's a good thing.

Uranus scratches his forehead,

"... And?"

"Yeah. The once-cool Seam, having lost so much, would turn pale.

I thought it would be difficult to finish this, so I also finished with 5000.

After that, I won a lot, got back 20,000, and besides that, I also got 2 items."

Uranus looks at me meaningfully once again.

This is... Meleoron won, Seam lost, Seam lost, Meleoron won again. Probably practiced with that wave of good luck.... This is miserable, Seam. You're just like me, huh...

"The result is negative 80,000 plus two items.

That's fine. Seam, I really don't care."

"But..."

"Gambling is about winning and losing, no matter who does it.

I just happened to lose, but I'm going to do something about it, so I'll have a miserable experience.

Because the most important thing in gambling is quitting. I feel like I learned well this time, so I gave up."

"Uh..."

"So. How much is the Fire Cherry worth, it's important, if you sell it?"

"It's 30,000.

If you convert it into money, that's -20,000 Jenny."

Seam droops. Oh, poor you... I could blame Uranus, but Seam will blame himself. I'll cheer you up later.

So, it's the couple's turn...

I got 3 event cards.

The money on hand is 300,000 → 275,000 Jenny.

《300: Fire Cherry》

G-Rank Card limit 319

An unusual fruit so spicy it makes you feel the tropical heat turn into sweetness.

It is customary to use a small amount of the pulp, but it is said that some vicious people eat it directly.

"298: Drop Muscat"

F-Rank Card limit 148

An unusual fruit, a ripe fruit loved for its intoxicating, wine-like juice.

It contains no alcohol, but you will be unable to stop eating, so please be careful not to overeat.

"297: Cream Banana"

E-Rank Card limit 119

A rare fruit that melts in your mouth like fresh cream, widely popular.

Be careful not to accidentally drop the fruit when eating, as it will shatter quickly.

"What do you think?"

"……

How about you, Omara……"

Bell shows the results of the kyapikyapi battle. Motarike puts his hand on his face. Shivering Uranus.

Why not? Why are there 3?

"How is it? Isn't it great?"

"──Aaaaaah!!

After finishing Baccarat, he will definitely come over to check the situation!

Why did you complete two on your own!"

"Hmm.

Isn't it good to save time?"

"……Video Poker is still fine because Omara is in charge.

But we are in charge of Goo!!"

"Hmm……

Baccarat ended as soon as I got the item. I just ate and drank to pass the time.

And I don't think your Poker will end so quickly. I don't think there's any harm in getting ahead of Goo."

The dice ended quickly, and when we went to play Video Poker, Molly grabbed four.

Ate various snacks to pass the time, and then came."

"……

I was really looking forward to Goo……"

"Hey, Bell, just like you said.

If you do as you please, this guy will get angry."

"Eh."

Everyone is doing the wrong thing... I'm afraid of gambling.

"Ah, damn it. I get it……

It does save me time. Honestly, I didn't expect you to get this far."

"I am a regular at the Hotel Dorias."

"I don't care if you get too addicted and give up on the capture.

Well, with these three…… 86,000. So speaking of money……

Plus 61,000 Jenny.

For some reason, everyone is holding on tight. The only thing that isn't going well is me and seam…… hmm.

Anyway, I'm ready for the 5 items to buy at Dorias.

Getting an S-rank requires 1 Specified Pocket Card and 4 cards.

3 items left. Slot Machine, Roulette, or Bingo?"

As for everyone's money, assuming you sold a lemon with a voice recording…… oops, wait.

"Uranus, did you calculate the rest fee for this Hotel?"

"Oh, I have to include that too. I paid later."

Uranus writes clearly in the memo.

"Well, I'm out.

My current money is 884,500. Selling one lemon is 914,500.

The remaining fee is 2,500, so it's 912,000.

Frankly, it has hardly decreased."

"But you gave us quite a bit of money, aren't you satisfied?"

"No, that's not it.

If I did this alone, this wouldn't be a pun, and I haven't squeezed my pocket yet, which is huge.

Honestly, it's going so smoothly, it's almost scary."

I'm fine with that. …… Everyone is having a hard time collecting cards.

"What are you going to do now?

Roulette, do you want to play again?"

Tianwangxing looked at me and did not answer Mr. Bell's question. Hmm.

"... If I must do so, I will do so, but to be honest, I hope you will give me some time."

"Because.

Fine, I also want to change my mind.

The Slot Machine is still very attractive to other players, so let's go play Bingo that isn't in the casino together. If that's the case, if there are enough people, it will end very quickly."

No one objected to Tianwangxing's proposal.
