Volume 5 Chapter 32 It's Not Cheating If You Don't Get Caught
The game continues and although I've won a few small rounds, overall I'm losing big time. Something's not right. Are these guys from another world or reincarnated or something?
Then, while I was looking at my opponent during the game, I felt something strange. These guys have been drinking and playing, but the alcohol isn't going down as fast as it should be. I didn't notice at first because it's canned alcohol, but if I listen closely, the sound it makes when it's placed down is heavy. The content hasn't decreased at all.
Ah, they've done it. They're cheating. By the way they put down the cans, they're communicating if they have a good or bad hand, or if they're strong or weak.
Poker is a psychological game. Even if you can't manipulate your hand, if you can predict who will win, controlling the bet is easy. I thought I was losing because I was betting high, but I was being played.
The reason the alcohol isn't going down is probably because they don't want to get drunk and lose. This is a hunting ground where they pretend to drink and play games while taking advantage of people who wander in.
I see, this place living up to the name of the Uraten Matsuri.
I underestimated them.
Still, the game continues, and I've lost almost all of my chips. In other words, I owe 5,000 yen. I have two freeloaders in my house. If they find out about this waste of money, Kanami-san, who manages our household finances, will definitely be angry.
I can't bet any more money.
"Sorry, I can't bet anymore."
"Well, it can't be helped. Should we end it?"
"Yeah, it's better to keep it moderate."
The men nodded and said. They're earning pocket money without getting into a fight. These guys are pros.
But how long can they keep that relaxed expression?
"No, I can't sleep if I keep losing. Can we bet this instead of money?"
When I said that and took something out, the men's eyes changed clearly.
Yes, what I put on the table was a thin, Y-shaped coin. It's a magic coin.
"What is that?"
One of the frozen men said as if he remembered, but that's like saying he already knows.
"There's no way the people who come to Uraten Matsuri don't know about it. It's a magic coin, it's real."
"Would that be a substitute for money?"
"Do you really not know? Do you know how much this is worth right now?"
I don't know either.
I'm just saying something that Matsuda said.
But the effect is excellent. I can hear them swallowing their saliva.
As expected, these guys know about the magic coin. Not only that, but some of them have it. Their eyes have clearly changed.
I didn't come here just to gamble.
"I can't help it. Each one costs 5,000 chips."
"Hey, come on, stop joking. I'll go to another table."
"Okay, okay. It's 15,000. That's fine, right?"
What, it's that expensive? That's crazy. If I bluff a little, I might be able to go a little lower, but I don't know the market either, so let's go with this.
"Okay, then give me new chips. Let's start."
The men nodded as if unable to contain their excitement.
That's right, the duck even took out the green onions. It looks so delicious. Since I'm kind, I'll add more bait.
"Well, why not try it, Lisha?"
"Huh, me!?"
Lisha looked at me with a surprised face.
The men also looked at each other in confusion. Unable to read our intentions, but unable to reject the timid girl who sat at the table, the game began.
I was thinking of a more peaceful way, but if you guys are going to team up, then it's a different story.
I'll crush you fair and square too.
