“The air is different from the real border. The air is sweet.”
As Rachel strides excitedly, her long red hair in a ponytail wags like a tail.
[I think there is more dust.]
“I think so too… … .”
What are you talking about when you say the air is sweeter than Gavioren in the border area. Rather, it seems that there are more people than trees, so it is noisy and the air is bad.
Luna shook her head excitedly as she watched Rachel, who walked alone to the end and came back in surprise belatedly.
“Where is the furniture you want?”
“What if you come to the capital? You should start with something good from alcohol!”
In Gavioren, the outskirts of the outskirts, good quality alcohol would have been limited, but Leaf’s eyes narrow a little as she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand as if salivating, saying that it’s different here.
[I want to go back to my accommodation. Or the library.]
Rachel puts her arm around her shoulder as if asking what she’s talking about when she sees Leaf writing on a chalkboard the size of her palm.
“How are the three of us? I’m here to make friends! And what do you want to be friends with? It is alcohol.”
No matter how you think about it, Luna herself and Leaf must have been included as an excuse to drink.
‘It’ll be fine.’
Having predicted this, Adelian must have given him plenty of money.
And from Ogre to Cyclops, it was a series of battles for a while, so having fun is one way. Taking a break even when you’re busy is what Adelian always said.
“Then where are you going?”
Glancing.
As if it was strange that she was wearing a cape instead of a neck choker, which means there are slaves or employers, Luna forcibly raised her head and asked as she looked at her shoulder.
“There are many famous places in the capital.”
You don’t have a lot of money like Adelian, so go to a moderately expensive place? and Rachel grins.
“If you go too cheap, you will only get into trouble.”
[What if I use a low-awareness badge?]
“Anyone who came to gamble should use something like that. They get kicked out saying what kind of trick they are doing.”
Leaf nodded her head at the words, saying, “Maybe I’ll see from behind and talk to you about something like a card game with a sense of presence that has been blurred by the badge.”
So, the place Rachel chose was not a high-end casino where formal aristocrats or their equivalents came and went, but a high-end casino one step below that.
Luna touched her ears at the moderately flashy and moderately noisy appearance, as if it was mainly used by commoners who did not have a noble title, but were from aristocrats or had a lot of money.
“stop. Those beastmen, please fill out the access list and go. And Beasts cannot participate in the game.”
Just as they were about to enter the casino, Rachel and Leaf raised their eyebrows when the man guarding the front blocked Luna.
“What are you talking about. If it had ears and a tail, did Gold also have ears and a tail? The entrance fee is the same, so why can’t I play the game?”
[No wonder.]
In response to Rachel’s words, the man asked back with an even more bewildered face.
“Because they are beasts. I hear all sorts of strange sounds. So are you going to go in or not?”
If you work in front of a store like this for a long time, you can tell whether you are an aristocrat or not. No, there’s no way a noble would say such a thing in the first place.
The man openly clicked his tongue when he saw two women and a rabbit who didn’t look noble even though they all had smooth faces.
“Can I go in now?”
“… Pass.”
Rachel took a step closer to the man shouting “pass” with a sad look on his face, but Luna grabbed her arm and pulled her into the casino.
“Did you come out to play and only hunt monsters?”
“Ah, that’s right, but what is it, why are you blocking it?”
Usually when dragons come out, don’t they come out with common sense? It’s like looking at a comic book.
Luna laughed lightly at Rachel, who was whining and tantrums, and Riff, whose eyebrows went up in a triangular shape and said, “Let’s punish the author right away.”
“There’s something you both need to know.”
Luna gave a brief explanation in the short hallway connecting the entrance and the inside of the casino.
Discrimination and hatred towards Ain. and treats. And the capital of the empire where it appears most strongly.
“So don’t worry about me.”
“Then let’s just leave, we can go to a rather shabby place instead of here.”
“It would be a place for criminals to gamble if they would accept beastmen.”
Luna shook her head in response to Rachel’s outburst, and Rachel scratched her head in annoyance.
“Don’t do that, let’s go in. I mean, I’m curious about Nadu.”
You’re like this, but you’re not coming, when are you going to visit a place like this with Leaf and me? At those words, Rachel hesitated, then showed her teeth and grinned.
“Okay, how about this sister? Just look forward to picking a lot.”
At that, Luna smiled and pushed Riff and Rachel’s backs.
“Hey, the water is nice.”
Basically, it is a place where children of aristocrats who have not received or are expected to receive a title or have a lot of money come.
After taking a quick look around, Rachel began to explain to Luna and Leaf.
“That’s a gambling artifact, and you press a button to match 3 of the same picture. And that’s a dice game, that’s a card game.”
Rachel, accustomed to exchanging gold for chips, puts alcohol on a tray, catches a passing waiter, and exchanges the three smallest chips for three glasses of alcohol.
“When drinking, you have to suppress your mana to drink it, so there is no need to turn mana from now on.”
It tastes good! He handed over a glass of wine that smelled like apples, and Luna grabbed it and looked at it, then smiled and nodded.
I can’t play games myself, but I drink alcohol, but I don’t say anything. I was sipping apple juice-flavored liquor and looking around, but Leaf opened his mouth.
A voice that only Adelian and Kane can hear.
Others couldn’t feel the echo of the air, as if the shape of her mouth was twitching, but Luna nodded as if she knew somehow.
“You want to try that? Let’s go.”
“Find a picture? For beginners, it’s just guessing pictures or dice.”
Riff showed interest, and as if excited, Rachel pushed Luna and Riff’s backs with both hands toward the wall.
Maybe it’s beginner’s luck, but Rachel whispers in Leaf’s ear when the chip explodes in a series of picture puzzles.
“It’s shameful to see it with a golem-level sight. Adjust your abilities to human standards?”
[why?]
“That’s how fun it is!”
Somehow, Rachel had a lot of gambling debt at the border.
Luna followed the two of them as they moved to a dice game, remembering the gold she was holding in reserve just in case.
Unlike Leaf, who wins and loses moderately after the first picture matching game.
Rachel, who had beaten her chest to trust only her sister, glared at the card with her eyes lit while drunk.
“How many chips do I have left? Shall we exchange money one more time?”
“It’s not like the money the boy gave you to spend on gambling.”
Seeing Rachel rummage through her pockets with trembling hands, Luna spoke in a low voice that only she could hear, and Rachel’s red eyes flashed.
“Oh, take it and pay it back. Can I pick it up?”
[Gambling counseling.]
to Adelian?
Leif hadn’t even turned mana yet, so Luna smiled a little and lowered her lips at the sight of her holding up the blackboard with slightly reddened cheeks as if she was a little drunk.
The dwarf who seemed to be possessed by the gambling ghost.
Recalling Balbus, Luna looked at Rachel intently.
It’s a card game like back then. The feeling is not very good.
“Let’s just do that and leave.”
“Oh, no. I mean, I got it now. If I do a little more, will I use it all?”
Watching Rachel speak with pleading eyes, Luna shook her head resolutely with a smile on her face. At that moment, someone started talking.
“Oh, look at this. Aren’t you that damn bastard maid? Could it be that it was sold?”
“No, Dmitry. You’re wearing a cape with the Kruger family crest on your shoulder.”
In contrast to the thick voice that seemed to be mixed with oil, a thinly torn voice.
As soon as Luna turned around, she hurriedly lowered her head.
“Meet Master Dmitri and Miss Deviona.”
Twin siblings with wavy brown hair and brown eyes.
A friend from the days when Adelian acted as if he was more violent and selfish than he is now.
As Luna shook her head, Riff narrowed her brows, and Rachel opened her mouth in a tone that said she didn’t like something.
“What is it, who is it?”
“You know the Bocchan… They are nobles.”
“Suddenly, why are you so respectful, Aya?”
In the capital of the empire, how dare a demi-human speak ill of a human?
Luna lightly stepped on Rachel’s foot, and Dmitri’s gaze shifted to Rachel, who made a painful sound.
“Adelian is in the capital? You don’t even go to the academy. By the way, are those girls carried by Adelian?”
“What, isn’t it? He said he couldn’t give me bad manners… So, is Adelian also in this casino right now?”
From noble mtl dot com.
To the question of Dmitry, who wiped the sweat from his neck with a handkerchief with his thick hands, and Deviona, who spoke while fanning his hands with her slender wrists, Luna answered with an effort to adjust her expression.
“Bocchan has been away for a while. You should be back soon.”
Luna wanted to talk to Adelian through Siren right away, but she wasn’t used to the act of talking only with thoughts, so she had to use her hands.
However, if a handmaid of a beast tribe recklessly puts her hand in her pocket in front of humans, they will criticize her for being arrogant or saying what she was trying to do.
So, with the mindset that there would be no major accidents immediately if Adelian’s name was mentioned, Luna first covered it up.
Originally, I shouldn’t have used the owner’s name in such a careless way, but if it was Adelian, I would forgive him, so I wanted to prevent things from escalating.
Contrary to Luna’s wishes, however, Dmitri smirked as he looked at Luna, Leaf, and Rachel, then placed a hand on Leaf’s shoulder.
“So, will you talk to me for a while until Adelian arrives?”
“It’s a start again, come to think of it, rabbits. Isn’t the black-haired, handsome male slave that Adelian bought at that time here?”
Riff pondered as he looked at the chubby, sausage-like hand caressing his shoulder.
It wasn’t particularly aggressive, so it didn’t matter. It’s just that the oil that came out of that man’s body is on his shoulder.
Besides, looking at it, Luna might have a hard time if she breaks her finger right away.
So, for the time being, she was still, but as if she received it as a sign of acceptance, Rachel lifted Dmitri’s thick wrist with her fingertips as the hand gradually descended.
“evil!”
“What are you doing?”
She screamed like a pig and watched Dmitri roll over clutching her wrists.
“No, what are you doing? Are we your servants? Is she your concubine?”
“What is that b*tch? What are you doing without even knowing the fountain? what where… Could it be from a noble family?”
“That person… You are the escort of Master Adelian. And this is someone Adelian knows. So please forgive the rudeness.”
Unlike DeVeona, who took a step backwards with eyes suspicious of Rachel’s sudden behavior, Dmitri, who seemed to have gone from the pain in her wrists and now had her eyes lit with anger, approached hurriedly.
“Four years dare!”
“What dare you? Something like a pig.”
“What! this… this. I was wondering if I could make you look pretty!”
Luna looked around to see if someone would come to stop her, but no one stopped her, perhaps because it was at the stage of haggling even if there was a lot of commotion, and rather, she just watched DeVeona as if it were a treat for her eyes.
[Can I hit you?]
“no… … .”
Luna shook her head at Leaf’s chalkboard, which she lifted up quietly while Rachel and Dmitri chattered.
Rachel’s status is probably registered as a commoner, so if things get really big, this side will be at a disadvantage.
As soon as everyone’s eyes were on Dmitri and Rachel, Luna quickly reached into her pocket and grabbed the siren.
＜Adelian… Help!＞
“Ugly b*tch!”
“You said it was smooth just now?”
“It’s Adelian who uses such a stupid woman as an escort!”
“What does it have to do with you?”
Rachel smiled at Dmitri, who seemed like he was going to grab her by the neck at any moment, probably because he had been hit once, but took a step away and cursed at her.
“At most, it’s for heating the bed. No matter how you look at it, it’s obvious that she’s a half-penny girl with flaws!”
Then at the moment, Rachel, who laughed at the words that there was a flaw, that it was half a penny, hardened her face.
When I got up from the chair and looked down at Dmitri for a long time with a height of over 180 cm, Dmitri flinched.
“what?”
“under… It was flawed, half a penny.”
half a penny.
Did that touch Rachel’s planting? Rachel’s pupils lengthened vertically so minutely that it was difficult for others to notice.
At that, Luna grabbed Rachel’s wrist and trembled.
Adelian, please come quickly. Before Dmitry’s death!
