“Prince Harold, Prince Owen, welcome.”
On the night of my meeting with Archbishop Sancroft and Iris, I brought Owen to the casino.
That guy Owen was sulking, but I dragged him along without paying him any mind. Sandra did, that is.
“Thank you for the welcome. I’ve been pondering what to do with that treasure, and I believe making it a casino prize is the best option.”
“I see… Prince Owen, is that agreeable to you as well?”
Owen nodded silently in response to Baron Orlando’s question.
To be precise, Sandra had his head in an iron claw and forced him to nod with brute strength.
“Understood. In that case, let’s make it a prize right away. The number of coins required will be… well, let’s make it one hundred million coins.”
““““What!?”””
The moment they heard those words, Sandra, Monica, and Owen widened their eyes.
Seriously, do you know how many gacha rolls you can do in “EnHaza” with one hundred million coins? It’s a dream of thirty thousand consecutive rolls.
“It’s a national treasure-class item, so it’s only natural that it’s worth that much.”
“But, that’s equivalent to the national budget of a small country. At this rate, it’s as if you have no intention of actually giving it away as a prize…”
“It can’t be helped. Besides, it’s Prince Harold and Prince Owen’s judgment to ‘make it a prize’.”
“Damn it! Bro!”
Unable to bear it, Owen raised his voice.
He must be unable to forgive me for making the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius impossible to obtain unless a miracle happens. Moreover, I decided it on my own.
But.
“Well, that’s true. I understand that it’s worth that much.”
“As expected of Prince Harold, I’m glad you understand.”
Baron Orlando placed his hand on his chest and bowed grandly.
But I didn’t miss the slight twitch of his eyebrow.
With just this reaction, I could clearly tell that Baron Orlando was complicit with King Aival.
After all, if Owen, the protagonist, doesn’t obtain the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius, the Scenario will collapse, which is not what they want.
That’s why you twitched your eyebrow, right?
“With that in mind, I want to ask. Can this casino really prepare one hundred million coins?”
“Of course. The total number of coins in our casino is one billion. Currently, only tens of millions are in circulation in the hall, so there’s no problem at all.”
“I see.”
Now, what should I do?
It wouldn’t be interesting to just get the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius.
In that case, let’s make them cry a little.
“I understand. Then I’ll earn those one hundred million coins.”
“I see, that’s interesting. … Wait, did I hear wrong? Did Prince Harold say he’ll ‘earn one hundred million coins’…”
“You didn’t hear wrong. I’m going to acquire that many coins and take the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius home. And tonight.”
As I confidently declared that.
“Pff… Kukuku… Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Interesting! That’s really interesting!”
He must be underestimating me, thinking it’s impossible. Baron Orlando clutched his stomach and rolled around laughing on the sofa.
“Very well! By all means, please do challenge it, Your Highness!”
“I’m glad you understand. Well then, time is precious, so I’ll play(・・・・) a little(・・・・).”
“Hahahahahaha… Yes, please enjoy yourself.”
We were seen off by Baron Orlando, who bowed respectfully, and we headed to the floor where the venue was located.
“Hey, Bro! What are you planning to do! You were saying all those high and mighty things, but there’s no way you can get one hundred million coins!”
Owen grabbed my collar and approached me with a stern expression.
His expression and way of speaking, everything about him is like a Yankee from my previous life.
“Oi, oi, calm down. Think about it. What do you think will happen if you line up three ‘7’s on this casino’s slot machine?”
“Huh? Well, I think it was a million coins, right?”
“Right? So if you line up three ‘7’s a hundred times, you’ll have one hundred million coins.”
“T-That’s right… but there’s no way that’ll happen! There’s no way you can win that much!”
Oh, Owen has learned to do a straight man routine.
“You won’t know until you try. Just watch.”
We moved to the space where the slot machines were, and I sat down in a chair.
“Now, let’s do this.”
I inserted a coin and pulled the lever.
Seeing the lights turn on and the drums start spinning vigorously, I put my thumb on the stop button.
“Here, here, here.”
I pressed the buttons rhythmically, and the drums stopped.
And then.
“N-No way…”
The slot machine drums had indeed stopped with three ‘7’s lined up.
