Rogue Prince – Chapter 243

“Well… it seems I’m out of coins. Could you exchange these for me? Oh, and exchange one hundred million coins for the ‘Sacred Water Jar Aquarius’ prize.”

I call out to one of the staff members who’s standing blankly nearby, but they don’t react at all.
I don’t mind them being in a daze, but I wish they’d at least do their job.

“Didn’t you hear? Prince Harold wishes to exchange coins and redeem a prize.”
“Hii!? P-Please wait a moment!”

Monica, who had moved behind him, held a Dagger Knife to his back, snapping the staff member back to reality. He hurriedly ran off somewhere.
Probably to ask Baron Orlando, who had disappeared from this place unnoticed, for instructions.

“Hey, bro, isn’t that a bit much…?”
“What do you mean? I just purely enjoyed the slots. So, this casino has an obligation to pay me.”

I glare at Owen, who’s looking at me in amazement, and wait for Baron Orlando to come.
Well, I’m sure he won’t come, though.

“Well, let’s go. Owen and Lyra, I hate to ask, but could you keep an eye on the coins?”
“Leave it to me. Anyone who touches them, even with a finger, will be eliminated.”
“W-Well, that’s fine, but…”

Lyra answers calmly without changing her expression, while Owen is bewildered, unable to grasp the situation.
But both of them are enthusiastically intimidating those around them to keep them away, so they seem very motivated.

“Now, let’s go.”
“Yes!”
“Understood.”

We head in the direction the staff member went, looking for Baron Orlando.

Then.

“It seems to be the staff member from earlier.”
“Looks like it…”

The staff member is lying on the floor, bleeding.
Could it be that Orlando killed him trying to escape?

“Let’s hurry.”

We rush further into the passage.

“Prince Harold, I will go ahead and scout.”
“I’m counting on you… but, be careful.”
“Yes.”

Monica gives a light bow and leaves us behind in an instant with incredible speed.
If it were just a regular event boss, there’s no way Monica would be defeated, but the opponent is the casino owner, Baron Orlando. In other words, he’s just a Mob in “EnHaza.”

So, that man’s strength is unknown… no, he must be stronger than the heroines of “EnHaza.”
Just like Sandra and Monica, who are also Mobs.

“Sandra! Let’s hurry too!”
“Yes!”

We run through the casino passage and kick open the door to the staff entrance.
Without considering the possibility of an ambush at all.

Because.

“Ahaha, what a bunch of fools.”
“Fufu, really.”

We glance at the people lying on the ground and sneer.
There’s no way that small fry like you could be a match for my Monica.

“But it’s easy since we can just follow the fallen guys as a guide.”
“That’s true. It’s just too sloppy.”

Baron Orlando probably predicted this would happen and secured an escape route, but his mistake was underestimating our… or rather, Monica’s strength.

At that moment.

–Kiiiin!

“Sandra! That sound!”
“It’s coming from over there!”

Monica is probably fighting someone.
The sound of metal echoing in the night sky quickens my heart.

I understand Monica’s strength, but there’s always a chance of something happening.
So, I just want her to be safe.

“…Not bad.”
“I’m surprised too. I didn’t expect you, Prince Harold’s Maid, to be so skilled.”

When we arrive, we see Monica and Baron Orlando facing each other with weapons in hand.
Even so… hmm, that man’s weapon is a cane? That kind of thing doesn’t appear in “EnHaza,” but it must be comparable to a UR weapon.

“I’m troubled, Lord Orland. If you run away with the ‘Sacred Water Jar Aquarius,’ I won’t be able to exchange it for my hard-earned coins.”
“Easy for you to say. After earning coins by cheating.”
“Do you have any proof that I cheated? If there’s no proof, then it’s not cheating.”

Yes, I actually cheated.
What made that possible was Lyra’s unique skill, [Hacking], which allows her to control mechanical enemies.

According to Lyra, it doesn’t matter what kind of machine it is, and of course, that includes slots.
So, I had her [Hacking] a lot and made everything a jackpot.

“How dare you say that so brazenly…”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. In any case, those aren’t words that a casino owner should say.”

In the world of gambling, the one who gets cheated is at fault.
For the casino owner, who should know that better than anyone, to say such a thing, I guess he just wasn’t cut out for it after all.

Well, since there’s no cheating in the “EnHaza” casino game, I guess it can’t be helped.

“That’s enough. Hand over the ‘Sacred Water Jar Aquarius’ already.”
“Ha… hahaha…”
“?”

I tilt my head, seeing Baron Orlando suddenly start laughing.
Honestly, I’m getting tired of this pattern.

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Then, how about you try to take it from me?”

Baron Orlando laughs loudly and attacks me.
