“Yeah… yeah! Perfect!”
“I am most pleased to be of service to you, Master.”
Seeing me nod in satisfaction as I received the Magic Tool, Lyra, though her expression remained unchanged, seemed somehow happy… or so I thought.
As expected, Mana Dolls don’t even show subtle changes, so I can’t read her at all.
“Then, Master, I believe that Trash is no longer needed. What shall we do with him?”
“That’s right…”
As originally planned, I could let him taste despair and then execute him, but just in case, I might have another spare of this Magic Tool made.
There’s no such thing as overdoing it when preparing for the worst.
“For now, let’s maintain the status quo. I’m sorry, Lyra, but please continue to monitor McLaren.”
“As you wish.”
Yes, yes, I’m glad she faithfully follows my instructions.
I can’t have her running wild like when McLaren was her Master… speaking of which.
“Oh… what business does Junk have here?”
“…Enemy force confirmed. Eliminating.”
“Can you two stop fighting every time you meet!?”
Haa… these two really don’t get along, as always…
And Monica, who’s amused by their antics, is also something else.
“Prince Harold, please rest assured. This Monica will ensure Lyra is properly educated.”
“I can’t help but feel uneasy.”
Knowing Monica, she’s bound to teach Lyra something unnecessary.
And what do you think will happen then? I’ll be the one inconvenienced.
“By the way, Sandra, what brings you to my room at this hour?”
“…Is it wrong for a wife to visit her husband’s room?”
Oops, Sandra’s glaring at me with those sidelong eyes.
“No, of course, you’re more than welcome.”
“I’m glad you understand. Master says he can’t relax when you’re around.”
“I wasn’t asking Junk.”
“I told you to stop fighting!?”
If I let my guard down for a moment, they’re on the verge of a fight, making me feel like I’m facing a ticking time bomb.
“Young Lady and Lyra aside, a letter has arrived for Prince Harold.”
“For me?”
Hmm? I wonder who would send a letter to someone like me.
I received the letter from Monica and opened it.
“Ehh…”
Inside was an invitation to a Casino that had just opened in Royal Capital Kaditt.
In fact, Casinos also exist in “EnHaza,” where you can earn Coins with Slot Games.
By the way, 300 Coins get you one gacha pull, and 3,000 Coins get you ten consecutive pulls.
So, free-to-play players desperately try to collect Coins at the Casino, but unfortunately, it’s not that easy.
Most users end up with empty pockets instead of earning anything.
That’s because the jackpot probability is set ridiculously low at 0.00001.
Users who realized this made a fuss about it being a “scam” and left “EnHaza,” which became an unpopular game and a distant cause of its service termination. Or rather, this game is just full of such troubles.
“I see… a Casino, is it?”
“Sandra, are you perhaps interested in Casinos?”
“No, I just thought it would be lovely for a married couple to attend such nighttime social gatherings.”
I see. So, Sandra wants a Casino date.
When I gauge her expression, her Sapphire Eyes are shining as if she’s hit the mark.
“…Well, since we’ve been invited, shall we go?”
“! Y-yes!”
“If it’s a Casino, escorts will be necessary, so I must accompany you.”
Ah, yes, yes. Monica wants to go too, I see.
“Master, according to my information, Casinos are rife with fraud. If it’s me… I can rectify that fraud.”
I never expected even Lyra to want to go.
But, even though she says she’ll rectify fraud, she’s the most likely to commit fraud for my sake.
“Hey, hey, Hal, I’m coming along, right?”
“Yes, yes. Of course, you are.”
I can’t help but smile at Caz, who’s sparkling with curiosity.
My partner, she’s so cute after all.
“Well then, let’s all go since we’re at it.”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
“Yay!”
While the two and one animal were overjoyed.
“…My date with Lord Hal…”
…I’m sorry, Sandra.
I’ll make it up to you next time for sure.
So, I’m not (・・)exactly(・・・・・)thrilled(・・・・・), but we’re all going to the Casino together.
Even so.
“Now then… I wonder what kind of ulterior motives(・・) are at play this time.”
Looking out the window, I muttered to myself.
