“Hey, there’s even a gambling house in this country, and there’s really a lot of entertainment going on.”
In the kingdom of Embara, there were even gambling houses. In some countries, gambling itself is banned, but here it seems to be operating openly.
Well, in the first place, in this country, business was quite free outside the forbidden zone. The women of this country do all sorts of things to “entertain” the merchants traveling through the desert, hoping to make a ton of money.
“I’ve never gambled.”
“Me too.”
“Well, you guys are still kids, and are often get caught by age restrictions.”
“Hmm.”
“I don’t want to hear that from you though.”
However, there is no age limit for gambling here. In other words, even as a baby, I can play.
“I think gambling is also a good training.”
“Master, what do you mean?”
“You either win or lose, because gambling is a game of chance. Moreover, you cannot rely on force. You need to have the power to attract luck.”
Luck. It’s very vague and elusive, but luck is very important in life. Even in battle, if luck abandons you, you may be swept off your feet by a lesser monster.
“Oh~, doesn’t that sound fun then?”
“Of course, you can’t win if you don’t use your brain. So, it might be difficult for Anje-oneechan, who is a muscle-brain.”
“Who’s a muscle-brain!?”
Inside the gambling hall, young women dressed in sexy costumes and wearing hair bands that somehow resembled rabbit ears were serving customers.
“Hmm, are they rabbit beastmen?”
“It’s a costume, a cosplay. They are just wearing ears like that of a rabbit.”
“What on earth for……?”
Lill, who has her own beast ears, tilts her head in puzzlement.
“No, I think it makes a lot of sense, look at that.”
The men, with their noses sticking out, were making bold bets to impress the girls.
“That’s how they are trying to rile up men to spend money. The owner of this place is a genius.”
“Well, you never know what humans can do.”
By the way, it seems that the girls who dressed up like that are called bunny girls.
While I was admiring, a bunny girl came up to Lill, who still seemed to be unconvinced.
“You’re wearing a strange headband, huh? Do they have anything like that? I’ve never seen that before… Ah, I get it! The owner must have put a new outfit on the new guy! He’s the type that just does whatever comes to mind!”
“Hmm?”
“Anyway, don’t stand there in a daze, because there are a lot of customers and it’s busy today! Look, newcomers start by serving drinks! Come over here!”
Apparently, when she saw Lill’s beast ears, she mistook her for a fellow employee.
“W-wait, this is my own….…”
“If you don’t know how to do it, I’ll teach you!”
Lill is pulled by the bunny girl and is taken somewhere.
“Lill doesn’t have any human money, so maybe it’s just right.”
Of course, one needs money to gamble.
In this gambling house, it seems that the process is to buy a special coin before playing the game. Coins can then be exchanged for goods or money later.
“Ara~, what cute customers.”
An older sister at the coin shop is also in a bunny girl costume. She looked at us and asked, “Is this your gambling debut?”, but was stunned by the large amount of gold coins that Fana put out.
“……Huh?”
“Mm, for gambling.”
“Eh, Fana-oneechan, is it okay to change so much?”
“No problem.”
Of course, it’s all Fana’s personal money. The money to be used for the party is pooled separately, so she can spend her personal money however she likes.
“Well done! Then I’ll exchange for more!”
Anje retaliates by putting up a large sum of money.
“No, no, no, no, no, who are you guys!?”
She was shocked, but since that was her job, the older sister counted out the gold coins and exchanged them all for gambling coins.
Both of them are beginners, but they are too competitive!
“Then, as a master, I can’t lose!”
『Even the Master……』
Not to be outdone, I put out a lot of money as well.
“Even a baby!? What on earth is going on!?”
Leaving the confused Oneechan at the coin exchange counter behind, we scattered around the gambling hall to enjoy the game separately.
“I could make a lot of money by cheating with magic, but that’s no fun at all. I’ll try to play without using magic.”
