“Uwaaaaaah…!”
As soon as we arrived at the casino, Caz, perched on my shoulder, made her eyes sparkle.
Normally, a casino in a medieval European setting would have a more subdued image, but unfortunately, the casinos in this world are like those in Las Vegas from my previous life, with neon lights brightly lit.
Rather, I’m curious about what kind of technology they’re using to light up the neon in this world where electricity doesn’t exist.
“Hal! Let’s go in quickly!”
“Ahaha, right.”
Urged on by Caz, we went inside after being checked by the bodyguard at the entrance.
Hmm, unlike the exterior of this mansion, the inside has a surprisingly calm atmosphere. The customers all seem to be nobles, so it’s extremely refined.
“So, which game should we try?”
I turned around and asked everyone.
In “EnHaza,” there are three casino games: Blackjack, Roulette, and Slots.
Blackjack allows for steady play and is relatively safe, but the stakes aren’t high, so you don’t earn much.
Conversely, Slots offer the dream of making a fortune if you hit the jackpot, but the odds are what you’d expect. It’s truly all or nothing. And 99.99999% of the time, it’s nothing.
Roulette is somewhere in between, and in my previous life, I mostly played Roulette. I lost every time and had my coins stolen, though.
“I don’t know, so I’ll leave it to Lord Hal.”
“Whatever Prince Harold chooses, this Monica will see through any cheating.”
“If it’s Slots, Master’s victory is assured.”
Sandra and Monica seem to be entrusting the choice to me, but Lyra is clearly planning to cheat.
“What about you, Caz?”
“Me? Well, I…”
She looked around the casino and tilted her head slightly.
“Yeah! That spinning thing!”
“Got it. Roulette it is.”
So, having decided to play Roulette, we immediately sat down at the table.
Besides us, the participants included a portly middle-aged noble with women on either side, a somewhat gloomy young noble, and…
“Well, well, I never thought I’d see you guys at a casino!”
…Why is Owen here?
“When I was in the slums, I used to frequent the damp underground casinos, but I never thought I’d come to a casino for nobles.”
“No, why did you come?”
“Huh? Marion told me it was ‘social studies for a prince,’ so I came.”
“Haa…”
I pressed my temple and shook my head.
I told Marion to be cautious, but he came here so easily.
But considering that she went to the trouble of sending me an invitation, could it be that she’s plotting to make me and Owen compete here, creating a structure of the protagonist and a stepping stone?
But… in “EnHaza,” the casino is just there for the mini-game and has nothing to do with the main story.
In other words, there’s no event where me and Owen compete over a heroine…
“Anyway, since we’re here, why don’t we have a match?”
“A match?”
“Yeah! How about the one who earns the most coins among us gets to have one wish granted?”
I see… there’s no benefit for me.
Besides, if I ask Lyra to cheat at Slots, my victory is guaranteed. Is that okay?
“…And? What do you want us to do if you win?”
“W-Well, that is… (mumble)”
Ah, I understand. I understood as soon as he blushed and stammered.
In other words, he wants me to help him get closer to Liliana, or something like that.
“Fine, I understand. But be prepared when I win.”
“Heh! I won’t lose!”
Owen stroked his nose with his thumb and grinned.
His lines and gestures were like those of a protagonist in a shonen manga, making me wonder if I was playing the wrong game. Besides, the protagonist isn’t like this in “EnHaza.” But it’s too late now.
So, we decided to compete in Roulette for the sake of fairness… but.
“C-Crap…”
“How could this happen…”
“Yay! I did it!”
In conclusion, the one who won the most among us was Caz, who bet with Monica.
I never thought that such a kitten Demon Beast would be the strongest among us…
“Since Caz is in first place, she can ask Prince Harold and us for any favor, right? Like Prince Harold doing a nude dance.”
“Or Lord Hal and I taking a bath together.”
“Or spending the whole night letting this Lyra ‘charge’ you.”
No, please don’t let her use those three’s words as a reference.
Besides, Sandra, you want to take a bath with me… imagining it makes my Harold a little embarrassed.
“Hmm… what should I do…”
Caz skillfully stood on her two hind legs, resting her front paws on her chin as she pondered.
Please don’t take those three’s words into consideration.
At that moment.
“Thank you for coming today.”
A noble with a nice middle-aged beard called out to us.
