Chapter 308 What Could This Reward Be? (2/2)

[Ahh~~ Errr, actually, you see. I’ve always been super good at gambling, and I almost never lost. So, since the old me has disappeared already, I thought I should lose on purpose.]

[……Then, you should have just not gambled.]

[W- Well~~ But, you see~~ I really like gambling…… so I couldn’t resist playing……]

It seems that the secret Alice wanted to tell me is that she was actually a strong gambler.

It’s nice to know another thing about Alice but…… why is she telling me that at this time?

As I was thinking this, a grin appeared on Alice’s lips, and holding out half of the pile of chips towards me, she spoke.

[……Let’s have a revenge match. Kaito-san, let’s have a match to see who can make more money!]

[A- A match?]

[Yes! If I win, I’ll have a special dessert along with the fancy dinner!]

[……And what if I win?]

Revenge match…… She must be referring to that match we had previously at the monster race track.

In summary, what she’s saying is that “I didn’t really give it my all that time, so let’s have another match”.

Well, we have plenty of time to spare, so we can do that…… For some reason though, Alice even added a condition as to when she wins.

That’s why, I was wondering about what would happen if I won. I know that Alice was confident about her skills, but my chance of victory isn’t zero.

So, I thought I’d ask her about that before accepting her challenge.

[……E- Errr…… If Kaito-san wins…… Ummm, when we get home…… I- I’ll give you a reward……]

[A reward?]

[Y- You can only look forward to it after you actually win!]

[……Fumu, well, fine. Let’s do it.]

[Fufufu, the me of today is different from the me back then! Come on, let me show you the bitter taste of defeat!]

Carried away by a strangely enthusiastic Alice, the second match between Alice and I began.

To skip to the conclusion of our match…… Well…… “We were banned”.

After a certain amount of time had passed since my match against Alice began, a person claiming to be the owner of the casino appeared, got down on his knees and said “Please let us off already”. After exchanging looks with Alice, we decided to end our match.

Well, I didn’t think that I’d be this lucky, and I also feel like I got carried away too much, so I’ve decided to accept this ban as a means to reflect.

[……Guhhh…… Uuuuu……]

[W- Well, you see, we were interrupted in the middle of our match so……]

[……Kaito-san is an absolute cheat…… How come you were able to “consecutively win in betting with single bets” in the roulette….. There’s no way you can win if that wasn’t the case……]

[Ahh~~ No, I was just lucky……]

As for the match with Alice…… I had won about three times as much as her before our match was interrupted.

I didn’t know if it was because of beginner’s luck or something like that, but in the end, I never lost a single bet.

Incidentally, Alice had also increased her hand several times from the start, so she wasn’t weak at all. It was just that I was strangely lucky.

[……Uuuuuuu.]

[No, like I said, our match was interrupted, so we can just make that match invalid……]

[T- That won’t do! My pride as a gambler will not allow me that. So, I’ll properly give you a reward after we get home…… T- T- T- That’s why,l- l- l- look forward to it……]

[Y- Yeah……]

Why is she that red? Moreover, she’s even stuttering with her words? What exactly is this reward that she’s talking about?

I tried asking her, but she only told me “You’ll know about it after we got home”, so let’s just put it aside for now. Anyway, now that we’ve killed enough time, it’s time to start thinking about dinner.

Dear Mom, Dad———- I had another gambling match with Alice. And with my beginner’s luck, I won once again, but there seems to be something wrong with Alice———– What in the world could this reward be?

I’ll give you a~~ re~~ ward~~♪…… That somehow looks indecent……
