————————————————
It was a chance given by heaven
When Emily told her ‘Eriksama, I'm very sorry but…' and wish to talk with her brother who coincidentally had come to Parsena as well, Erika felt she want to clench her fist and raise it to the sky at once‘It is fine, Eard?' She told her that while having a s to Erika, Kota was an ‘a person' Always had a cal neatly, and smart
If Kota heard that he would definitely say ‘Where are you looking at?' but, in Erika's eyes, that hat reflected ‘Love is blind,' that saying was very appropriate for this situation
But… In her head, it was hard to i Which meant…
(“Eh, Eriksan? This, how do you play this?”)
(“Oh my, Kota This, you see? bla bla bla, bla, see, you understand?”)
(“Heeh~ That is how you play it huh?”)
(“Fufufufu Now then, Kota how about trying it?”)
(“Y-Yes”)
… Thar hat inside her head, the feeling of being the one with hta reliable , but soh the subject of being relied upon was a bit weird, but still she feels that was good enough…
“… K-Kota?”
“… What's wrong?”
“N-No, not ‘what's wrong?'… You know the rule to play this?”
“Yes You said it before, but… It is ‘blackjack,' right?”
The aze was fixed on the cards the dealers were dealing The card was called ‘Trump,' it was said the card was an invention made by Alex
(“By any chance, is this your first tiht?”)
(“–Tru very similar but don't tell me, it has four marks, Clubs, diamonds, spades, and…”)
(“Heart…”)
(“This is justto compete and make the card number become 21?”)
(“… There's one of those indeed In fact, it is a popular game, you know? It is known as blackjack”
(“… Ah, I see I understand then…”)
(“W-Wait, Kota! T-Then, how about that one?! There, the one playing dice, you don't know, right? That is–“)
(“Cee-lo, right?”)
(“… How did you know that?”)
That hat happened It was disappointing for Erika but… Kota had his excuse
(“… Well, at first I felt suspicion but, now I'm convinced…”)
(“About what?”)
(“Well… He is a summoned one too”)
(“Huh? Really?”)
(“No, well Forget it”)
Kota said those words and sighed He showed an expression as if it would be in vain to explain further
(“Then, Eriksan, let us go Since I kno to play blackjack, let us start froo
“K-Kota?”
“… I'ht now”
“S-Sure Good spot, huh? But look? I wonder if the wallet would be lighter soon~ or so I wonder…”
“ Eriksan is the one who told me to play around and don't think about the money?”
“W-Well, s-sure I said that… B-But, you see!”
“… Call!”
Kota asked the dealer without listening to her He got the card from the dealer and checked the content of his card
“… It's a flop”
“…”
Chips that were pilled up in front of Kota was confiscated by the dealer, and Erika's hand was on her forehead
“… Kota”
“… Yes?”
“You… You really suck at this…”
It was good at the beginning…
Kota said ‘I know the rules', though it did ed her attitude into ‘There are still many reasons to teach you!', and Erika decided to entwine her arh the volue When she did that, he was flustered, while saying ‘E-Eriksan, what are you doing?', And she responded with ‘W-What is it? Isn't this a place where ait a happy event for her Then both of the, but, it was only until there…
“…”
“… I have no ly weak
Whether it was because the ga God was on a business trip, or the fortune God was busy, or maybe the Goddess of fate didn't like someone with a soy-sauce face… Or perhaps all of them combined?
Cards after cards, it was only weak cards co card, then lost the gaer In the beginning, she could ss can happen, make sure win the next one~' But then…
“… Eriksan, please have fun I want to get some fresh air for a bit…”
When he saw the chips in front of Erika, he heaves a big sigh That was it, whether it was Kota's luck being sucked by her or the Goddess of fortune was sulking at hi Still, that uilty…
“… Well, then”
“W-Wait, Kota! Wait for ins to hile looking that his soul had come off
“… Oh? You should play a bit more and have fun, no?”
“It's not fun to play alone!”
It took a little time for her to redeem her chips, then she found Kota appearance which left in a hurry leaning against the fence with the river on his back
“… Geez Just because you lose, to leave the girl behind and sulking…”
“No, I'…”
“Then what?”
“… Just a bit I , but to think I would lose that much…”
“Go reflect on it I don't care about you losing? But to leave ive you next time?”
“… Yes”
“Good then”
That said, she showed her beautiful sht
“… Ah!”
“Eh?”
“Kota, that!”
As she noticed so her pointed finger, what entered his vision was…
“Street vendors?”
“That's right! Parsena specialty! The ‘Beef skewer'! Let us eat it together!”
