The Last Gambler yawned loudly on purpose.
“So, what happened now?”
It was a sleepy tone. However, the manager who had been whipping Japheth a while ago froze. Because you know the character of the last gambler.
He stuttered and started making excuses.
“Eh, as for how this all happened… I must have warned him this morning too… hey did you see it too? Earlier, I kicked this bastard… .”
The manager’s words were incoherent. But the tone was desperate. The comical fact is that the last gambler wasn’t even listening to his excuses.
All he needed was time. Time to go through the flow of the whole plate.
First, I see a boy with a beer on his face. Perhaps the cause of this commotion started from there. And the provider of the cause was also easily guessed.
The stupid aristocrat I brought in a month ago.
He had repeatedly spilled beer on customers and smashed glasses. As if it were some kind of ritual.
Unless you’re an idiot, such a mistake is bound to be intentional. It was a meaningless resistance that did not lead to the next number. The last gambler had thought that Japheth’s eccentricity was ridiculous.
But what’s even funnier is the amount of chips placed on the seat of the person covered with the beer. His chips piled up and spilled out to the seat next to him. It’s almost impossible to get that many chips in such a short amount of time unless you’re trying to play. In a word, he had completely swept the board to the point where the next stage was meaningless.
‘It looks like a face I’ve seen somewhere… Is it Tazza who used to play in a different area?’
He glanced around at the tables around him. And again, I was surprised.
Likewise, the table had its chips skewed badly to one side.
The owner was a blonde-haired girl.
And the moment he confirmed her face, the last gambler felt a sharp awakening. It didn’t even take a slave trader’s forensic eye to guess her worth.
‘That’s… It is a special product.’
Even though it is sitting in a gambling hall now, its intrinsic value cannot be hidden. A pearl is a jewel even if it is in mud.
I don’t know the face, but the restraint of the aristocratic family was clear. Even if she didn’t have any special accessories, but even if she came here unadorned, there are other clues.
A dignified posture with the back and neck upright, well-managed hair, and well-groomed skin cannot be created overnight. This is clear evidence that she is not a commoner.
And here the casinos are equal before all classes.
He was the one who ‘dealed’ with many people by taking their debts hostage. To his eyes, the blonde-haired girl looked like a roll of money. And his intuition was speaking. These two new handymen sweeping the board must have some kind of relationship.
‘Are they guys forming a team and going on an expedition?’
If it’s a gamble anyway, it doesn’t matter if the opponent forms a team or not. It’s okay if you beat yourself up by gambling. If there was one thing that bothered her, it was the man standing right behind her.
‘It doesn’t feel like a pillar west… .’
He could notice something peculiar about the man’s face. That man was the only one without a sense of excitement in this gambling table of joy and sorrow. Aside from the hard-looking forearms and the armor on the body, those eyes that calmly examine the surroundings are quite fierce.
“… That’s how it happened. I won’t let this guy do that again-“
The manager’s excuses continued. As expected, it was confirmed that subtle glances were exchanged between the blond hair and John.
And just in time, the manager’s excuses came to an end.
“- So please forgive me just once. I will really fix my habit so that I don’t make this kind of mistake next time.”
The last gambler read the pity in the blonde’s eyes. It was like pity for this Japheth, who had been whipped to the point of bursting his back.
‘for a moment… Japheth?’
An insight suddenly flashed past me. The face of the boy who was covered with beer and Japheth’s face were subtly similar. Then, looking at his hand, he was convinced of his guess.
“great… .”
He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them. Subsequently, his expression showed that he had become the owner of a gambling house with a thorough service spirit.
“Guests who came here!”
Spreading his hands out toward the crowd, he continued, paying particular attention to the reaction of the blond hair.
“I’m sorry that something unpleasant happened.”
“I’m sorry! What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to try to catch a run now!”
The Last Gambler nodded his head in understanding.
“Those who feel that they are unlucky during the game may stand up. For those who wake up, we will reimburse the full entry chip.”
“Five! Reimbursement?!”
At the words of the last gambler, most of the people sitting at the table cheered simultaneously. He continued to speak in a high-pitched voice.
“For those who want to be reimbursed, go to the counter with the remaining chips and return them, and the entry amount will be refunded.” And those who want to continue the game as it is, please sit down.”
People with few chips left rushed to their feet.
“Oh oh! okay! It should be!”
“Fuck, what! I just went all-in.”
“Giggle. So who wants to bluff with that hand?”
The last gambler silently ridiculed those with smiles on their faces. I don’t know if they like that they avoided today’s defeat, but the winner of the gambling table is always the gambling house.
Both those who won today and those who lost money will one day make their last gamble here.
And he was the last gambler.
***
For those who thought the game was already ruined, the last gambler’s offer would be sweet. The dark atmosphere unique to the gambling hall faded in the turmoil.
I stared at the face of the last gambler.
As befits a character who tries to design the board before winning it, the situation was flowing as the last gambler intended.
Soon the words I expected came out of his mouth.
“It seems that a lot of handymen are leaving. I’m still on the break, so I’ll enter. bring the chips And what are you doing? I didn’t bring a towel to that guest… I apologize instead A young guest.”
At the words of the last gambler, one of the waitresses handed me a dry towel. I calmly took a towel and wiped my face that smelled like barley.
“First of all, let’s clean up the situation during the break and start the game. Since there are fewer players, the tables should be merged. The problem child who broke the beer glass should stand next to me.”
As long as the game fee was compensated, people were not very interested in Japheth’s future. But I’m different. I knew the intention of the last gambler to say so.
The guy noticed the ring he was wearing. It is the same as Japheth was wearing.
And that was John’s intentional look.
‘I asked for the bait.’
Having Japheth standing next to him is a line that foretells that he will participate in the gambling table. Having him sit on the gambling table was a success.
I stared at the explanation in his system log.
[Name: Zigzag Peter]
[Class Rating: Hidden Character]
[Strength: 4, Agility 7, Sense 7, Health 4, Charisma 6, Wisdom 7]
Zigzag Peter is the real name of the last gambler. And he’s a character with overall stats.
[Special skill]
[Observation Lv. 8: Get a lot of information from what you can see.]
[Psychological Perspective Lv. 7: Identify the emotional state of the opponent from the expression and tone of voice.]
[??? (The Secret Secret of the Zigzag Family): This item is revealed after witnessing the Secret Secret.]
In this view of the world, having a secret signifies that you are from a noble family. And John knew what the Zigzag family’s secret was.
It is [Karma of Fairness].
This is why he is an enemy that cannot be defeated here at the gambling house.
Dealers handed out cartons of chips.
“After the break, the final is the table. I’ll take my chips and gather at Table A.”
I obediently put my chips into the chip case. Because there were so many chips, I had to fill three packs. It is a hollow chip made by carving a birch tree, but it weighs quite a bit since it is three boxes. As I moved to my seat, I heard a buzzing sound.
“Yeah. Is it the final from the first break?”
“Look at that boy’s chips. It looks like he came here for the first time.”
“The pretty girl over there is no joke. I really get fucked by outsiders here today.”
“If you get offended, would you levine too?”
“Are you crazy? Zigzag said that he would also enter. Just throw the money away.”
At table A, Adrine was seated first. To me sitting across from her, before Adrin said anything, another woman whispered first.
“Little boy.”
It was a sound right next to me. As I looked at her, she smiled lightly and spoke in a small voice with lips moving.
“Eugseueueungeukheumeun.”
I read that subtle mouth shape.
‘If I pretend to know here, I will die?’
Although he had a vague feeling, it was a tone of voice he had heard somewhere, and his sharp eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere.
“ah.”
came up a bit late Because the shape of her hair is unfamiliar. She was Piralo, the woman who took the aptitude test with a card.
Her attitude of turning away from me right away was a gesture demanding the same attitude from me. I averted my gaze a little and calmed my tension.
I never expected to see her again here. Why is she here at the gambling house?
Pirallo was a character who did not play a very important role in the original ‘Savior from another world’. Of course, there was no event to meet again at the gambling hall. Apparently, it seems that Miri added a gambling-related setting to her while developing a new one.
‘It’s become annoying.’
Judging by the chips in front of her, she didn’t appear to have been playing very well. But what bothers me is the fact that she is a wizard itself.
In the game’s worldview, the wizard is a trigger that generates numerous variables. They can be factors that make impossible achievements happen, but they can also be obstacles that make certain achievable events impossible.
Therefore, to me, who prepared a strategy for ‘the last gambler’, she is an inconvenient existence that may cause useless random numbers.
“Soon, the break will be over. Players, please take your seats. I’ll pull out a new button, so you can sit anywhere you like.”
At the dealer’s words, the last gambler also sat down. A total of five players.
It was me, Adrinne, Pirallo, the Last Gambler, and a hairy guy who seemed to have collected his chips from another table.
The dealer said in a businesslike tone.
“Starting from the final table, two community cards will be created. Starting from 3-way, betting and rules can be modified by agreement between players. Then, I will decide the button from now on.”
The dealer shrieked and spread the cards on the table.
The last gambler who had no way to win in the original work.
The game with him has begun.
