173 – 166. Rest-9
“You said you would help me win the championship right now?”
“Ah, it has not yet been revealed what kind of gamble the next stage will be, but if it is a gamble to decide the last person, it is highly likely that it will be a confrontation method. If it becomes a confrontation, it will inevitably become a three-way battle, and naturally, we will notice each other to see which side will move first.”
“I guess so. So why should I ally with you?”
“If someone starts to move, they will hit back the person who was attacked. Then the one player who is not attacked is given a choice. Will someone help? So, wouldn’t it be reassuring if we forged an alliance beforehand?”
Rin and Renee held each other accountable after Stage 2 was over.
If a three-way war broke out while the seeds of discord were planted, there was a high probability that they would fight among themselves.
Kashan was thinking of digging into that and conciliating them to his side.
‘I don’t want to act like bats, but they are so strong. I can’t handle it alone.’
He was both a warrior and a strategist.
Duel with honor, fight with confidence.
Having lived with such a motif in his heart, he judged the current situation as a fight.
He thoroughly plotted and tried to seize Seunggi.
‘If it’s 1 vs 1, how can I fight… ….’
It didn’t matter if I criticized him for being mean.
It is safe to use dirty tricks on this floor, and the despicable tricks started over there first.
Isn’t it an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
If you think you’re paying them back, you won’t feel guilty at all.
‘All this for Ignit’s sake… !’
Kashan gave a generous smile as he pondered his praise for the red dragon.
Not knowing that the woman in front of him was a dragon race who had been burned by a red dragon.
“It’s not compulsory, but you think it’s a good suggestion?”
“Hmm, I guess I need to review it positively. If it was that ignorant woman, she would definitely try to deal with me first.”
“If such a situation comes, I will step in and help. How is it?”
“What do you gain by doing that?”
“You can part of the prize money. That’s enough for me.”
Actually, it was intended to create a 1v1 situation, but Kashan hid his intentions.
Renee still looked at him suspiciously, as if he couldn’t hide it completely.
It didn’t look like he was very happy with the proposal, but if he did, there was a chance it would go over to the other party.
In the end, René reluctantly accepted his offer.
“Okay. If you betray me instead, won’t you let me go?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I am a person who stands firm on my words.”
Kashan wanted to gain trust by proudly revealing his aspirations.
However, Renée’s reaction was sluggish, and he gestured for him to leave.
‘You cheeky b*tch!’
Kashan’s veins jumped out at the sight of Renée arrogantly treating him even though he extended his hand first.
Even though I am grateful, I have no choice but to burst into tears as I return my doubts to the foolishness of my hat.
Even so, he couldn’t get the plan wrong, so he had to swallow his anger.
‘Let’s see where….!’
He turned his back and left for Rin.
On the other hand, I was trying to lay some ground work on Rin to solidify my victory even a little bit.
There was someone who was closely watching Kashan’s two-legged strategy.
He looked at him pitifully, bursting out laughing.
He didn’t say, ‘Do you think that will work?’, But it was evident in his expression.
“I don’t think there will be any problems on the gamble side. How are the preparations for the next plan going?”
“I hired all the notaries and morticians you mentioned, and even Yuran’s Healing Agency. Forged documents are also thoroughly inspected and prepared.”
“Okay. You must have been educated as I told you, right?”
“Yes, here are the confidentiality agreements we have obtained from all of our employees.”
Bern quickly glanced over the documents handed over by the moderator.
The magic circle was engraved on the lower part of the contract without missing a single one.
A provision that if you try to divulge a secret, a restriction will be triggered and the magic will shut the contractor’s mouth.
It was to prevent accidents that might be caused by drunkenness.
Confirming that there was no problem, Vern nodded and returned the papers to the presenter.
“Tell it to Sestia. She must be better at managing her paperwork than I am.”
“Okay.”
The presenter took the papers and quickly disappeared from the spot.
The plan went smoothly, all that was left was to wait.

“The next gamble is Myoranghojeon.”
“Myorang Hojeon? This is the first time in my life, what is it?”
“It is literally a fight between a rabbit, a wolf and a tiger.”
Three people are confused by the host’s explanation.
It was a natural reaction since it was an unprecedented and unheard of gamble.
“First of all, each of the three will take on one of the roles of a rabbit, a wolf, or a tiger.”
“Wait a minute! Apart from wolves, aren’t rabbits too disadvantageous? The fight doesn’t work out, does it?”
“hahahaha! Have you ever heard of the fairy tale of the cunning rabbit? Originally, the rabbit is only a bite away from the tiger, but in the fairy tale, the two positions are reversed. It is the same within this gamble.”
“Does that mean the rabbit beats the tiger?”
“Exactly! But the rabbit can’t beat the clever wolf. And in the case of wolves, in the presence of tigers, they have no choice but to submit.”
“It will be an interesting three-way battle.”
The gamble the host is talking about was a circular food chain.
A rabbit beats a wolf beats a rabbit beats a tiger.
Each of you had opponents you could beat, and opponents you couldn’t.
That the natural enemy changes depending on the role.
And the characteristics given to each role were also different.
“First of all, rabbits are clever animals and can use human civilization to their heart’s content. Instead, since they are the weakest animals, they will use magic to restrict their bodies.”
There are no restrictions on tools, traps, weapons, etc., So you can use them freely, but instead your body becomes heavy.
It was a role that required me to use my brain well as I lacked a body compared to other animals.
“Wolves have no restrictions except that they cannot use tools. They are truly free animals.”
From noble mtl dot com
Wolves were ordinary, with no special field.
Simple is best, it was the most appropriate role for someone with excellent basic skills.
“Finally, the tiger is thinking of putting a strengthening spell on its body as opposed to the rabbit. It is given great power, but unfortunately it is helpless against the rabbit’s trap. Even if you know it’s a trap, you can’t avoid it.”
Through magic, he has the strongest power, but in return, he becomes an honest fool.
I couldn’t resist even if I got caught in a trap, so the restrictions I had to carry were quite large, just like a rabbit.
‘I have to win the role of a wolf unconditionally… !’
It was Kashan’s conclusion.
The rabbit and the tiger are also attractive, but as much as they have their own strengths, they also have fatal flaws.
Since it was a restriction that was difficult to ignore, Kashan hoped for a wolf with no strengths or restrictions.
“The final gamble takes place in a forest with nothing but grass and trees. Each of them will start in a different zone, and you will get 1 point for each effective hit on your opponent, and the player with the most points at the end is the winner.”
“If a rabbit attacks a wolf, for example, is it counted as points?”
“No. Only attacks from rabbits to tigers, wolves to rabbits, and tigers to wolves are recognized as valid hits.”
“Hmm….”
Kashan raised his hand while Rin and Renee were deep in thought for a moment.
The presenter’s eyes turned to him.
“What are you doing?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“You said it was a battle in the woods, but is it fair to say that it was a gamble? Among the participants were non-combatants. If they had come to the final round instead of me, they would have been at a considerable disadvantage?”
All of the last three people gathered here had an understanding of combat.
If even one of them had never fought before, it would have been an unequal gamble.
Kashan dug into it, and the host, caught off guard, began to speak calmly, as if he had prepared it in advance.
“You are sharp. However, the casino side also assumed the points you pointed out and prepared two gambles. It was divided into cases with non-combatants and cases without, and now it is the latter, so we have prepared for the Myorang improvement.”
“Why?”
“There are only a handful of events throughout the year, but what could be more fun than constantly spinning roulette or sitting down and shuffling cards? Even if you don’t, inside the casino, customers are having fun betting among themselves on who will be the final winner.”
“You’re using us as a kind of racehorse concept.”
“I apologize if you feel uncomfortable. However, in order for the casino to run smoothly, we must continue to provide entertainment to our guests.”
A squirrel’s repetitive routine, like a treadmill, makes people lose interest in life.
The casino created a new craze by holding a new event.
As the value of the product was far greater than the participation cost, the casino must also have a benefit.
There was a part that was unclear, but Kashan had no choice but to accept it.
‘I can’t say it was to f*ck your tribe… ….’
The host’s ability to improvise was beyond imagination.
“I’ll take the tiger.”
“Then I will take the rabbit.”
“What?”
“Why is that? Are you worried about being hunted by me?”
“Ha! So absurd!”
In the role selection, a small quarrel between Rin and Renee broke out again.
However, I did not overturn my choice.
For Rin, who has lived with a sword all his life, the rabbit was an inevitable role.
Likewise, a tiger was perfect for Rene, who had never used a weapon before and used her physical strength to attack opponents.
Since there was no conflict between roles, Kashan, who hoped to become a wolf, smiled in repentance.
‘Stupid b*tches… ….’
Thanks to that, things went smoothly.
Allied with Renée, who took on the role of a tiger just in time.
If you catch the rabbit using the tiger as bait, you will be able to capture Seung-gi for sure.
Kashan thought he was close to winning.
“Now that the role has been decided, I will give you the required outfit.”
“Clothes?”
“Yes, it is a kind of service for customers who are currently looking forward to the last gamble, so please wear it.”
The presenter handed each of the three a heavy leather pouch.
As soon as they received the pouch, they took out the contents.
“Eh?!”
Rin was the one who screamed first.
In her hand was a bunny girl outfit with a rabbit headband.
As soon as she confirmed the identity of her clothes, Rin’s face turned red.
“I-Are you asking me to wear this right now?”
“Yes.”
“How could you wear such shameless clothes… !”
“It was a strong request from someone.”
“Can you say no?”
The host looked back at the tower behind him and said softly.
Realizing the meaning of her action, Rin hid her shy expression, and she quickly understood.
Then she leisurely went into the dressing room.
“This isn’t it!”
Next, Rene.
She was carrying a leopard bikini swimsuit.
Since the area of the leopard was small, it was clear that if she wore it on her bare body, her skin would be exposed.
“I could wear something like this… ….”
“This is a request from your fiancé.”
“Yes!”
Renee walked confidently to the changing room, holding on to her bikini.
The two women’s persuasion went off the rails.
Meanwhile, Kashan, who was checking the situation of the two women, was anxious.
If you follow the precedent, there is a high possibility that you will also have bizarre clothes in it.
‘I’m going to turn around.’
Fortunately, his leather pouch was relatively slender.
It was so light that I doubted if there were clothes inside.
Still, he couldn’t be caught off guard, so Kashan put his hands in his pockets with his eyes tightly closed.
He pulled his hand out of his pocket again and took out the contents.
One was a wolf’s headband.
It was embarrassing for a middle-aged man to write, but it was bearable.
The other one was fortunately not clothes, but accessories.
It was an accessory with a wolf’s tail at the end, a tail plug that was inserted into the anus.
“There was a strong request from Seris, one of the guests.”
“Family bee?”
Take one for the team man… 🤣🤝😂
