Jabet Esperts.
According to the setting, he is the eldest son of the Espertz family and my older brother. And there were marks on his face as if he had been beaten by someone. I glanced at him slightly. I hope that my intention will be conveyed as ‘Let’s pretend we don’t know for now’.
But when I went to the buy-in counter and lined up, he came hesitantly to my side.
Unnoticed, he whispered to me.
“John, why are you here?”
It was small, but I could feel it. There was a hint of weeping in his voice. It must be a passage that reveals what it means to live in captivity here.
I took his words indifferently.
“Who will say.”
“… It’s not too late. Go back, John. This is a very scary place.”
Bondi Espertz family brothers are not bad friendship. He took one look around, hesitant, then continued.
“you… I’ll spill beer on your clothes later, so go back saying you’re lucky.”
I knew you would say that.
There is such an opportunity in the original [Frantimo’s Gambling] event. Your only chance to get out of this trap event.
A chance to get out of the gambling table with the help of his older brother Japheth.
And if he accepts it, he knows what will happen to him. In return for providing that opportunity, Japheth is severely afflicted by the caretaker and commits suicide. And when Johann Esperz found out about this, trauma was planted.
“got it? Listen to your brother, John.”
I didn’t answer anything at first. Of course, it wasn’t that I was speechless with pity or gratitude for Japheth. Unlike Jung Mi-ri, I don’t particularly empathize with the characters I create.
And Japheth also hesitantly walked away, as if he couldn’t stand next to me all the time. The line in front of the counter dwindled and finally my turn came. The girl on the other side of the counter said in a bright voice.
“The buy-in amount is 15 gold.”
It is also the amount left in hand. When I paid, she put a pile of chips on the shelf. He pointed to the yellow tableau card next to it and said.
“You can draw a table card, take a chip and go to the corresponding seat. Do you need an explanation of the rules of the ‘Empire’?”

No way.
The card game ‘Empire.’, which is also a mini-game of ‘Savior from Another World’, is also a game I composed and made.
I shook my head at the girl across the shelf. He then drew one of dozens of tableau cards. Flipping it over revealed the letters D5.
At the same time, the system log popped up.
[Enter the sub-event, ‘Frantimo’s Gambling Hall’.]
From now on, the trap event of the original work will begin. After checking the table card I drew, the girl continued.
“You can take your card and chips and go to table D. The D table is over there. good luck”
Adrine, who was standing right behind me, glanced at me nervously. I left her behind and walked towards the table assigned to me.
There are a total of 6 tables in the casino. The oval table has a slightly recessed space, and that is where the dealer sits. Each table seats 10 people, so a total of 60 people participate in gambling.
Therefore, the total odds of winning this gambling event in tournament format are 1.6%. Of course, this assumes that everyone has the same skills.
The number 5 seat assigned to me is the middle seat facing the dealer.
People were seated, and Adrinne was seen moving cautiously to table B.
one of the dealers exclaimed.
“Everyone sit down and the game starts! Non-participants can stand in the back and watch, but not talk.”
It seems like a comment for the fairness of the game, but it doesn’t mean much. After all, professional scammers send and receive their own signals. First of all, I looked over the table, and the man sitting next to me, smelling like alcohol, said to me.
“They said it smelled fishy, so there was a lump of blood sitting here. little boy Did you know how to play?”
It’s a typical kill. At the same time, it is also a word thrown around to gauge the opponent’s ability.
“I haven’t tried that many times.”
Except for the number of times I’ve played it for game testing. Of course, one of my traits, [cheating], would have made my lies more plausible. I remembered those who made eye contact with him and smiled twistedly.
As a descendant of the Espertz family, Yohan has a keen sense of smell. The man next to him smelled like alcohol, but it wasn’t coming out every time he spoke, it was coming out of his clothes. In other words, putting alcohol on your clothes to pretend to be drunk.
The reason can be easily guessed.
It is to disguise the behavior of provoking the other person with words, pretending that it is because of drunkenness. Because people are more tolerant of the mistakes of drunk people than sane people.
“My dear. Set the significance of participating this time, and come back after developing your skills after drinking some milk from your mother. giggle.”
I smiled inwardly and looked away from him.
Of course I intend to win this game.
And I didn’t intend to win with skill.
***
Adrine smiled lightly amidst the attention of the crowd of men. As I came here, I remembered what John had said.
‘First of all, lighten the mood.’
‘Bright?’
‘So that things like words and questions can come and go easily. Then quietly fold and grow the board.’
‘… What is the advantage of raising the board?’
‘I’m just asking a simple question. I wonder if I have a really good hand.’
Adrine confirmed that Hoan was standing behind her and accepted the 8 cards handed out by the dealer.
The first ‘Empire’ for her.
Although there are minor exceptions, it is possible to describe this game in a big way. This game is a game in which the key is to maintain the balance of the four types of cards you have.
Wizard.
soldier.
commons.
savage.
When you receive a card for the first time, you can replace as many cards as you like, provided that the changed card maintains the following conditions.
1. The number of wizards should not exceed the number of soldiers.
2, the number of barbarians should not exceed the number of wizards + soldiers.
3. No card should exceed the number of commoners.
4. There must be at least one Barbarian.
If the above conditions are not maintained, it is an automatic fold. If the above conditions are maintained, you can choose to give up or continue to the next phase.
If you proceed to the next phase, put your cards face down on the floor and pay twice your stake.
You can participate in three phases in total.
It’s breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“It is morning. Action from the first minute.”
“Chapter 3 change.”
“Change Chapter 2.”
“It’s a bitch. Change everything.”
Adrinne remembered what John had said and tossed the card at the dealer.
“Fold.”
“Eh? Throw it without changing it, girl?”
“uh? There are too many savages… .”
Then, at her table, things she had often experienced happened. All the men came forward as if they were going to help him.
“Gosh. Then you can change everything.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“If you don’t want to change even after changing it, then you can just die.”
“Ahh. Thanks for the explanation.”
“I’ll explain later during break time, little girl.”
“Nimi. Just chuckle and do some action.”
“I changed the 5th card. By the way, this is a girl I haven’t seen before. Did you go on a trip to Frantimo?”
“Ah, roughly.”
It was not difficult to create a friendly atmosphere. Adrinne responded appropriately to the men she spoke to and watched the progress of the game.
“From the button. Those who are going to the lunch phase, please take action.”
“I’m behind.”
“I fold too.”
“I go.”
“Let’s go too!!”
“Fuck. Sorin, why are you screaming? I fold because my ears hurt.”
“I’m fed up with this lady, so I fold.”
“You guys. There are many death stories. I go.”
The dealer collects the cards of those who folded. And then
“For those of you who haven’t folded, please cover your hand in the morning. I’m leaving for lunch.”
Again eight copies were handed out, and this time one died. The dealer said to one or two people who would go until evening.
“Two minutes, heads up. Please cover the lunch group, and the evening team will go.”
The two who were alive until evening seemed to be friends. The two looked at each other’s expressions and then started to grin at each other.
“My little boy, aren’t you dead yet? I’m Chapter 3.”
“Chapter 3? Even if you change that, you’re a savage dude. I won’t change.”
“I’m sorry. Chuck, which is a nut. I bet your mother on being a bastard.”
The dealer who changed 3 cards to the person who bet the opponent’s mother pointed to the button with the palm of her hand and said.
“The two of you have dinner, cover it. Bet in order.”
After the evening in ‘Empire’, all players who did not fold have one betting chance, and then compare their strength.
Power is compared phase by phase. The one with the most wizards wins, and if there is a tie in wizards, the one with the most soldiers wins. If the number of soldiers is equal, the one with the most barbarians wins.
So, the wizard with the strongest hand in each phase,
The man who changed the three cards threw five chips into the center and said.
“Shall we try chipping for a while? Raise. five things.”
“Button raise 5 gold. 5 gold to get it.”
“… ”
“Why are you shutting your mouth? Nutcracker. If you are not afraid, come.”
“Are you really two-two-two?”
“Don’t you know when you see that you hit a bet?”

Nuts and two-two-two are the same thing. This is because the strongest hand that can be played in each phase is two cards each of a wizard, soldier, commoner, and barbarian.
The opponent licked his lips and pushed the stack of cards he had covered towards the dealer.
“… fold.”
“I thought so. You fool.”
The speaker laughed and swept the chips piled up in the center of the table.
And Adrin could feel it. about your own advantage.
I even came to understand.
Why did Yohan bring him here, who had never even gambled properly? Why was John so sure of his gambling qualities?
Why did John say ‘Let’s meet at the final table’?
She was confident of winning this game. By distinguishing the truth and lies of what the other person said.
The person who said that his hand was a nut, and the person who said that his hand was two-two-two was a lie. If you were involved in this heads-up, you could have killed your opponent with a bluff, whatever your hand was.
As the archmage Ong named it in his letter, he was a true seeker. She was able to see through the truth of the words even before the narrator hid them with directing.
‘This must be harder to lose?’
I couldn’t think otherwise. She can play the game knowing clues about her opponent’s hand.
