Volume 5 Chapter 33 Counterattack
The game started and they moved forward with 400 chips, like a light jab. The men seemed confused by the sudden appearance of the magic coin and Lisha, and didn't try to bet too much.
"Okay, let's move things along a bit. Lisha, listen to me without looking ahead."
"⁉"
Lisha's shoulder jumped. There was no sign of the other men reacting. This was Hero's secret technique, the ability to have a secret conversation anywhere. A voice is a vibration of air, and with directionality, it is possible to deliver it only to a specific person. By the way, it can only be used over short distances, and it is burdened with the sorrow of being easily heard by experienced people.
Girls of the world, if you learn this, you can have secret conversations with anyone without being noticed by those around you. I mean, there is a case when two girls start whispering in front of me and it hurts my feelings.
Anyway, that doesn't matter now.
"When it's your turn, do as I say."
"Y-yes."
I told her not to talk.
Fortunately, the men didn't seem to notice. It was Lisha's turn with 400 chips.
"R-Raise."
Lisha said this and put out 800 chips. The men's expressions tightened visibly. Of course, they would be cautious when an obvious amateur girl was raising chips. Normally, if you don't have confidence in your hand, you won't bet.
However, Lisha's power was demonstrated here.
"‥‥"
Faced with a worried girl who thought she had done something wrong, the men had only one choice.
"Call."
"Call."
"Call."
They forgot to check their cans and all put their chips out.
I understand, I understand your feelings, gentlemen. It's hard not to be swayed by such a cute girl.
And so everyone's cards were revealed.
"Nine, one pair."
"Four, one pair."
"Five, one pair."
Oh, that's rare. Everyone made a hand. It's understandable that they would bet.
But do you know who you're playing against right now?
"Um, I don't really understand, but it's like this."
Lisha said this and showed her cards.
The two cards were ten and king. The cards on the table were nine, jack, and queen.
That means...
"S-Straight..."
"Amazing."
The men praised Lisha one after another for the rare hand. Yes, sometimes a strong hand is not uncommon. The loss is only 800. It's still anyone's game.
If you think that, you're too naive.
"Um, I raise."
"Please raise."
"I raise."
Flash, straight, four of a kind.
From then on, Lisha continued to raise, crushing all of her opponents with overwhelming hands. The men's smiles disappeared, they folded one after another, and the mandatory participation fees were collected by Lisha.
Before she knew it, there was a pile of chips piled high in front of her.
"Is this... cheating?"
One of the men muttered and looked at me and the other men around. But that's impossible. Lisha, who looks bewildered, doesn't seem capable of doing that, and the person dealing the cards is the dealer. I am also sitting in a position away from Lisha, so it is impossible to intervene.
It seems like they checked all the cards multiple times, but no traces came up.
Of course, because I didn't do such a thing.
"What's wrong?"
"N-No, it's nothing!"
The man flinched at Lisha's worried voice. He must see something terrifying in Lisha's eyes.
And it's not entirely wrong.
Because what is causing this situation is Lisha's real luck, in other words, her natural good fortune.
Then the game progresses, and an unusually high-stakes round arrives.
"Hahaha! I have a flush!"
The man who remained without folding until the end revealed his hand while laughing like a madman. It's not easy to get a flush. He must have thought he had a chance.
In reality, if you can't fight with this hand, you can't win in this game.
However, the opponent was too bad.
"Um, this is how I am."
The man's smile froze.
The same pattern, cards from ten to ace in consecutive order.
Someone said in a trembling voice.
"R-Ro-Royal Straight Flush..."
The frozen man collapsed on the gambling table.
They say poker is a psychological battle. That's a lie.
"Uh, uh, are you okay!?"
Rather, it was the ultimate luck-based game where the overwhelmingly lucky person wins. Don't think you can beat a saint (cheat) opponent.
