“N-No way…”
The slot machine drums had all stopped on ‘7’s.
“What do you think? My dynamic visual acuity is pretty good, right?”
Even as I said that, there’s no way anyone could line up three ‘7’s with just that.
In reality, the Slot Game in “EnHaza” is all about luck. So, this slot machine must also rely on luck for a jackpot to appear.
And with astronomically low odds.
“Come on, let’s keep going.”
“O-Ooooooh…”
Owen could only gape, mouth open, and let out strange noises as the three ‘7’s appeared each time I spun the drums.
But my companions were wearing smug looks, as if it were only natural.
“H-Hey! Look at that!”
“Ooooooh! This is the first time I’ve ever seen three sevens on a slot machine!”
Before I knew it, the gallery had grown, and a large crowd of casino patrons was watching from behind us.
Among them was Baron Orlando, as well as casino staff.
“Um, how many coins is that now?”
“We’ve had over fifty jackpots, so we’re halfway there.”
“I see.”
Hearing Monica’s answer, I pulled the lever and pressed the button again.
But, you know, I’m not planning on being satisfied with just one hundred million coins.
If I’m going to do this, I’m going to take every last coin in this casino.
Boxes filled with coins were piled up like mountains.
There wasn’t even any room to put them anymore, and we were getting close to the hundredth jackpot.
“Excuse me while you’re having fun. Prince Harold… would you mind if we did a little checking?”
Forcing a fake smile, Baron Orlando called out to me.
Yeah, yeah, I was wondering when you’d show up.
“Checking? What’s that about?”
“It’s nothing much. It’s just that, unfortunately, there are some swindlers in our casino, and we’re checking everyone, not just you, Your Highness, as a precaution.”
“Hmph…”
I gave a listless reply and slowly stood up as prompted.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Now, if you’ll excuse me… hey!”
““““Yes!”””
At Baron Orlando’s call, three hall staff members began to examine the slot machine and my body.
I don’t really mind, but I’d appreciate it if you didn’t touch anything unnecessary.
“…To suspect my Lord Hal, you have some nerve.”
“!?”
Before I knew it, Sandra’s crimson eyes were shining, and she was holding Balmung to Baron Orlando’s neck.
Hey, I did ask for the armor and sword before coming here, but it’s too early to use them.
“Sandra, calm down. So, is this still going on?”
“Owner, we’ve checked, but we couldn’t find anything suspicious.”
“…My apologies. Please, continue to enjoy the slot machines.”
“I will.”
Baron Orlando showed a smile, but he couldn’t hide his displeasure.
See? There are blue veins popping out on his temples.
So, I resumed playing the slot machines.
As expected, only my machine kept hitting jackpots no matter how many times I played, and it didn’t stop.
Even after I had already collected the one hundred million coins needed to obtain the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius.
“H-Hey, bro… isn’t that enough…?”
“What are you talking about? I’m planning to get all one billion coins in this casino, you know?”
“Huh!?”
Of course. If I were just running a casino unrelated to King Aival, as in “EnHaza,” I wouldn’t be doing this.
But the Harding family… they stole the Sacred Water Jar Aquarius from Aries and used it as bait to lure us out, trying to force us to intervene in the “Save the Slums!” scenario.
So, they can’t complain if they get their comeuppance, right?
“Come on, don’t just stand there, pack the coins into boxes.”
“O-Okay…”
Owen tilted his head as he put the coins into boxes and piled them up.
The mountain of boxes filled with coins that had become a huge pile was quite a sight.
After that, I continued to spin the slot machines and churn out coins.
By this point, everyone in the casino had lost their voices.
And then.
“Phew…”
I exhaled deeply and made a gesture to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
Staring at the mountain of one billion coins in front of me.
