Chapter 236 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [7] (2/2)

The three of them stood up vigorously and immediately approached closer.

「H-Hey!?」

They pushed me back so far that, my back was cornered to the wall in no time.

「Allen-kun, you’re prepared for what’s coming, aren’t you?」

「Allen, being unfair is not good.」

「The match between swordsmen is a serious battle. You’re not going to say that you forgot, right?」

I made a proper rebuttal to the three who pushed even closer still.

「It’s a misunderstanding! This is “technique” and is not a “cheat” by any means!」

Technique and cheat, these two can be clearly distinguished.

It is the technique that stops the roulette on the desired number.

On the other hand, adjusting the “slipperiness” of the roulette with your palm sweat and secretly preparing “tricks” on the table is what you call a cheat.

「After mastering all kinds of basic techniques, we will fight while employing a variety of cheats. This is the real thrill of the “game”.」- This is what I was taught by bamboo geezer a long time ago.

However,

「「「……」」」

My rebuttal seems to have fallen on deaf ears, as they began a secret conversation amongst themselves.

「Ria-san, Lilim. How should we deal with Allen?」

「Let’s see… I think it would be best to make him listen to our “request”, after all.」

「Oh, that’s a good idea! Then I want Allen-kun to teach me his unique swordsmanship very closely! His skill is cool and above all, it’s very practical!」

「I-If that’s the case, I think I will ask for something that can remain with me like an accessory.」

「Yeah, I wonder if I could get a massage or something… N-Not in a strange meaning… L-Lately, my shoulder has been quite stiff is all.」

「Flying Shadow, Instant Flash, and Yatagarasu – Fufufufu! Next year is the era of Lilim Tsuorine!」

The president and Ria started blushing, whereas Lilim-senpai eyes were gleaming.

(This is bad…)

I don’t know what they’re talking about secretly, but…

It was easy to imagine that I would get into another troublesome thing if I didn’t interrupt that conversation somehow.

(The president, Ria, and Lilim-senpai – all three of them are very simple at their root.)

For those three who are always curious and hate to lose, this “bait” will surely be the most effective.

「Umm… Would you like to know how to “control the roulette at will”?」

The moment I threw the “groundbait”,

「「「H-How to control roulette at will!?」」」

The three of them easily took the bait.

(Fuu, thank goodness. I managed to perfectly “hook” them.)

Thus, I succeeded in “fishing” Ria and the rest and interrupted their suspicious secret conversation.
