“You’ve got to be kidding me…. That table is a super expensive table where only famous players gather, right? To win that much there…”
“And she’s still young, isn’t she?”
“Apparently, she started out at a table for beginners. Then she won so much that she moved to a table for more advanced players, and that’s how she got to that point.”
“Seriously!? That’s not beginner’s luck level anymore.”
While the surroundings were buzzing like this and attracting a lot of attention, Fana is playing poker without changing her expression at all.
“Hmm, two pairs.”
“No way…., two pairs!?”
“Damn, she took it all again! And with such a weak hand!”
Looks like she won again. What’s more, she used a bluff to make weak cards look strong, making everyone fold thus she won all the bets.
“I can’t believe Fana had a talent for gambling…… Sure, she’s good at poker face, but……. Eh? Isn’t that Anje at the table over there?”
They also seem to be playing poker. However, unlike the table with Fana, it is clearly a beginner’s table.
“Fufu! How about this, Full House!”
“I got four of a kind.”
“Eeeeeeeh!? No way! I lost agaaaaiin!”
Apparently, Anje is extremely bad at this. Holding her head and screaming, she has very few coins left in her hand.
“Anje is the type that lets her feelings show on her face.”
No matter how I look at it, poker is not for her. Moreover, she is usually the type of person who fights with wild intuition rather than strategy, so she is not very good at bargaining.
She also hate to lose.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I lost all my money!”
It seems that she has used up all her money.
“If this happens, I’ll go into debt……! Uuh, I’m sure there was a moneylender in front of the gambling house…… If I borrow money there, with it…… Hahaha.”
“Anje-oneechan, that kind of thing is usually unscrupulous, and it will end up as vice you see. And if a naïve person like you dabbles on it, you’ll be in debt until you die.”
Anje had bloodshot eyes and was about to make a risky decision, so I quickly tried to persuade her.
“Well, let’s give up and think of this as a good experience.”
“Kuuuu, I’m so frustrated!”
At that moment, I heard a conversation between customers.
“Hey, do you know the secret service of this gambling house?”
“Secret Service? What is that?”
“Apparently, there is a special VIP room where only those who have purchased 100 platinum coins, or 10,000 gold coins, are ushered in.”
“10,000 gold coins? Come on, you’d have to be really rich to get your hands on that.”
“Yeah, that’s why the rumor is that it offers some amazing service.”
“What service is it exactly?”
“You know, right now, inside this gambling hall, you’re being served by beautiful women dressed as bunnies, right? But when you become a VIP, you get to….”
It was hard to hear because they are whispering, but I magically enhanced my hearing and picked it up clearly.
“Apparently, all the beautiful women there are stripped naked.”
W-w-w-whaaaaaat!?
I am screaming in my head.
The whispering between the guests continues.
“The servers and dealers there are in their birthday suit! Well, the players are so focused on that they can’t concentrate on the game at all.”
“Haha, I’m sure that would be the case for me too. Or rather, maybe they’re trying to make it harder for them to make money.”
I took out all my money out of my subspace.
“Will this be enough? If not, I’ll borrow some money!”
『Calm down, Master. You just said it was vice a while ago!』
As I headed towards the moneylender in front of the gambling hall, Lindwurm frantically stopped me.
“Then I’ll borrow some money from Fana! If I can’t do that, I’ll cheat with magic and win!”
『Does Master have no concept of shame? 』
