Chapter 902 – Festival of Romance (4)
There was a place that caught our eyes as we leisurely toured the vast capital.
─Ravennapolis Mini Casino.
It was like a small club. It is a gambling place that is completely out of sync with the bright atmosphere of the festival where even balloons float. The sound of tipping a drink inside was caught by a transcendental sense.
“It’s a legal gambling place.”
The expression is a little hard to hear, but it is not a decadent establishment.
It’s a gamble, but it’s like a legal PC room. The place where the light is purple or something that often comes out when watching mid-air. There is a small bar and card games.
‘Looks like a place where you can play card games or gamble in a bar.’
I crossed my arms. More than 90% of the gambling in this world was a genre that was left to chance.
Isn’t it a world where there are people who can pierce a needle hole with a thread thrown from 100 meters away?
There was no room for development of games in which physical abilities determine victory or defeat, such as Jenga, because the difference in individual abilities was that much. It’s like arm wrestling with a giraffe.
So, only games dependent on luck, such as horse racing and gambling, have no choice but to survive.
Because the dice of probability are equal to the master class and the bully in the neighborhood.
‘I played the card game the other day with Kiara in the Elizabethan couple.’
I glanced at Fran. It is stiff like a hamster in front of a snake.
It’s a legal business, but isn’t it an adult’s playground?
In the sense of our francs… Yes. Wouldn’t it be the impression of a middle school student who passed through motels, pubs, and back alleys lined with cigarette butts as soon as he came up from the countryside?
“… Wouldn’t it be better somewhere else?”
I suggested it cautiously, but it seemed that it had pushed Fran’s fighting spirit button.
“Go, can I go?! Are you okay?! Ah-! I’m not afraid at all!”
Frank, who was clearly energetic, advanced with a creak like a wooden doll on the march.
I followed such a franc while holding back a laugh, but why is this? Wasn’t her rice cake stand guarding her entrance suddenly blocking her?
Of course, he was an opponent that Fran could defeat with a little finger.
But her nice and kind Fran, of course, stopped and put on an expression that asked why, and the rice cake looked back and forth between her and the color of my hair and smiled.
‘Huh, true. Bro there Hey, is that your kid?〉
〈… Det?〉
‘This bar is not a place to come in with your daughter. See it over there? Go to that compartment for gifts the kids might like.〉
The kind rice cake stand pointed to a doll shop across the street.
It was a cute little girl’s sensibility shop with a fancy feeling.
“Uh… “
I looked at her fran’s silent back and shook her shoulder awkwardly, then I hurriedly took her and stepped back behind her, thinking that this was not the time.
“Franc? Franc? Don’t be offended. They didn’t recognize us because we covered our faces.”
“… Face.”
“Yes, face! Since they can’t recognize faces properly, they’ll assume they’re female tourists just by looking at their clothes. That person’s job is to stop such customers!”
“… Isn’t it because I’m short?”
“Uh… … “
As I slurred my words, Fran’s eyes went blank.
Shit, I should have said no right away.
“… Nor.”
“Yep? Oh no! That’s right, because of the clothes!”
It was a belated excuse. Then Fran said in a low-pitched voice, like a 20-year-old office worker who skipped in front of a ride because of her height.
“I want to go shopping for clothes. A very sexy girl.”
─Jack. Her franc purse jingled heavily.
“… Yep. I will guide you.”
Is it Frank’s adult authentication mode?
It’s an offer that doesn’t seem like there’s anything to lose.
***
We went to the nearest clothing store and removed the ring.
“Can I see your clothes?”
〈… Uh? Uh? Yep!〉
Recognizing my characteristic facial expression, the employee quickly called the store manager. There was no such thing as a family crest, so a conversation was necessary to prove one’s identity for a while, but it ended without much trouble.
“Well, what about these candidates?!”
A seamstress who measured Fran’s body and showed great speed and speed enough to be called a master in her field entered the tailoring. “Nor. I want to ask the price of this fabric… “ “You want an interpreter? Okay?” In the meantime, I bought some fabrics that fit Fran’s taste. After that, I hesitated for a while, and went straight to the doll store that the rice cake manager told me about before, until the foundation was all over. I suppressed a laugh and followed without a word. ─Hyun! Who wears a ring that hides the face of Bolsera. Frank, who hid his identity, bought a lot of wooden dolls that seemed to have a thick fan base. It was a cute series that could be put on the palm of your hand. “Where are you going to use it? Decorate your room?” “Ooh, our mansion is a little lacking in decoration! There is no other meaning, just the interior!”
“I heard and saw it. How many more do you want to buy?”
“No! If there are more than now, it will be difficult to make clothes… Oh.”
After 30 minutes or so of calming my slightly swollen mood, I tried on the clothes.
It was a short casual dress. How about a modern party dress? The back was quite sunken, and the chest was also deeply visible in the shape of a Y.
Her hair is twisted into a ponytail and lingerie gloves on her hands. In addition, when she lifted one of her wallets, her lively francs were nowhere to be found, and a lady like the daughter of a wealthy merchant appeared.
The level of exposure where sexiness doesn’t turn into vulgarity is just like a young lady who is confident in her body.
‘That is very nice! More than expected!〉
Before I could ask her how the franc was, I quickly grabbed her manager’s shoulder.
〈It’s been a while since I’ve seen her clothes that suit her so well! Your skills are amazing!〉
“Are you sure?!”
‘Yes, not really! If you have a business card for the store, be sure to hand it over!〉
The store manager was excited and handed over a business card and some kind of VIP membership card. I’m sorry for looking forward to it, but it won’t come again. Word of mouth will spread to my acquaintances and the store won’t go broke. I don’t have a few married men and aristocratic friends. Let’s still have happy dreams. Because dreams are free. “So, does it suit you?” After seeing me praising the store manager, Fran shuddered as if in a good mood. It seems that the compliment given indirectly worked well. They said it would be good to use this method to avoid raising mannerisms or doubts in compliments, and they said that everything on YouTube is true. “Then, let’s go now!!” Fran, charged with 200% confidence, charged into the casino where the entrance was cut earlier. Tteokdae didn’t recognize our faces when they came back. In the manner of stepping out of the way, it is almost impossible to find the awkwardness from before. I could tell that it would be a fairly well-educated casino. It seems that the mother-daughter union was dumbfounded earlier, so the original tone came out. Fran, who thanked me in a little awkward Romanian, turned to me and let out a V. It was a human victory itself. Fran, her shoulders soaring to the sky, charged into the casino as if she was not afraid of anything now, and after 3 seconds it hardened again. ‘Five?’ I was also a bit surprised. Since it’s a casino, I expected a bright atmosphere with chandeliers. However, the inside felt like a gambling board attached to a bar just as I initially thought. It’s more like Prohibition Era, where mobsters gamble while smoking cigars, rather than a medieval saloon. ‘Darkness has its own atmosphere?’
Well, there is no such thing as a casino like Las Vegas in this world.
Even if it was, it would be at the territory where the Lalilura circus troupe resided. Unsurprisingly, Fran returned to stone. I’d rather be less afraid of monster-infested dungeons.
“Ah, uh.”
“Let’s go. It’s enough if you play for a while.”
─Suck. I wrapped my hands around Fran’s waist, who was stiffened by the crowding gaze.
Frank forgot his gaze and flinched, then gave a small shout.
“… No, no! Everyone sees… !”
“Did you see it before? No one recognizes our faces.”
Whispered in his ear, Fran’s eyes went round as if he had been seduced by a demon’s whisper. In her mind, the angel Fran and the demon Fran seemed to be fighting.
I imagined the image deeply and concluded.
‘Angel Fran, and the devil Fran, too.’
Was my useless thought true? It seems that the two francs, an angel and a devil, had a common weakness of being weak to their husbands. She said in a hoarse voice.
“… So, just a little bit?”
“It’s not like I’m doing anything bad, but you can have fun.”
Fran leaned her head against me and went inside her.
I was only a little short, and I was accompanied by a sexy beauty, but no one crossed the line. Perhaps, in the vulgar language, water seemed to be a good place.
“It’s not a familiar feeling. Are you a tourist?”
As I was sitting down with moderately low-alcohol alcohol, a bewitching beauty waved to me. The table where she was sitting was littered with ashtrays.
What is it I blinked and she chuckled.
“He is a fine man. I like the savage feeling.”
Turning the ashes from her smoking pipe, she smiled.
“How about a round? Would you enjoy playing with me more than that stiff lady?”
“… Is that what I am talking about now?”
Fran looked back and half-opened her eyes.
This seems to be a ploy to draw people into the board. I opened my mouth to say that, but then I frowned. It was because he recognized the people at the same table as Mi-nyeo.
… Swish
People flinched and averted my eyes. There was only one man smiling.
“Then who is it? You look like a lady from a noble house, you better go back before you see anything wrong? It would be more appreciated if you left the guy who came with you and went alone.”
The bewitching beauty continued her war of nerves.
It’s a way of speaking that doesn’t think about the possibility that we are nobles.
‘No, no. This woman is also a noble.’
It seems like a pretty high status. She is the daughter of Count Choi Min or her wife.
At the provocation that I deliberately handed over in Britannia, Fran asked me for an opinion with her eyes. I sighed and sat down at the table.
“Without local rules, if it’s a gamble we’re familiar with, we’ll play a few rounds.”
“Any amount. It’s just a standard rule. Oh, I am Matilda.”
It’s a name that suits you well. A bit like a lady.
I smiled and picked up the cards and shuffled them like a magician.
Cheolreuk—!
Practice, which was a hobby in middle school, quickly unfolded with a skill comparable to that of a professional gambler with the sense of a master class. The beauty’s eyes twitched.
“I’m sure he wasn’t flirting because he was really interested in me. I know that much.”
I shuffled the cards and turned over the top card.
It was the number 1 card that I found by moving body sight when I mixed it up, and moved it by making use of the position of my hand. The flipped card stopped in front of her glass.
“I don’t mean to preach to her gamble addict, but she wants you to fight her against her. According to your eyes, he is a savage man and has no patience.”
“… It made me want to flirt with a little sincerity. It will be a fun game.”
That’s not it. I only got the form, but I have no luck.
“Could you mix some instead? A man with bad hands got caught.”
As she rang her bell, her dealer came and shuffled her cards.
Whether or not the dealer could be trusted was not an important point. You’ve just seen my moving vision, so you must have stopped thinking about playing with your hands.
She must be looking at me as an adventurer of at least platinum class.
It is said that he was a person who participated in the War of Wikipedia and came to enjoy the festival before returning home.
‘It was hardly wrong.’
But from that point of view, there is someone here who fits Matilta’s expectations better than I, who was more interested in other things than the war itself.
That’s both.
I whispered softly after receiving the card after the horned franc.
“Can I play in a place like this? Sir Colido.”
“Is that what I am going to say? Sir Wolfhedin.”
The head of the disguised Adventurer Guild Union laughed.
「What is that? The difference in position is the same. The people gathered at this table are all nasty celebrities who came to the gambling table hiding their identities. It’s just that he… 」
I held back a sigh as I looked at Kiara’s group.
At that time, Fran, who saw her handing out the cards, widened her eyes. It seemed that for various reasons, it was delayed until I saw her face.
─Look around, look around. Fran looked at her eyes and spoke in her native language.
【… Princess Meiling?]
【… Gee, this is the first time I’m saying hello in person. Her brother owes much to you, ma’am.]
Lianne Yui Ling, the princess of Baiznia who mistook Fran for her sister.
Her older sister, the priestess of Wooshin who defeated Revelio along with Tatarnia, Leanne Meiling, smiled stiffly, not even paying attention to her hand.
Well, there are only three half-dwarves at this table.
