Chapter 90 (1/2)

It can be quickly understood that this day is what's called special, by watching the various people passing by

The town has been ani, many street stalls can be seen in the plaza

Moved by the spending on presents for the family or such, this the real deal itself to theor just buying, I' the at the terant s up from every direction are truly that which is a festival

Giving thanks to fa this year's harvest by offeringfestival

「Great festival isn't it, I've always liked these haven't I!」

I becarossed in a stall's katanuki

Chiku chiku chiku chiku, to speak of the sense of tension while carving out a candy bar with a thu them fall apart with the very first stab has happened more times than I can count

In any case, I've set out with Ilya since , the town's enthusiasm makes my heart dance

「Ojousama, did you not call for Eclair-sa your head, Ilya

「……Kohon, I did But it seemed like her store will be busy so I told her to coht」

「I see, then everyone-saht won't they」

「Un」

Ai at the church sincethe ht be the most fun with preparations

So that I also will not be idle, it

Butthe festival on my own, look, since Ilya is here

「Fufu, this seeht be, because of Ilya right」

「Those words areback one step and following after is, this child

She only acts to elevate me doesn't she

「Ilya is stubborn isn't she」

「That which is called position isn't soue, ojousao on these sorts of parallel lines

「If the two of us walk around town like this, in what manner e be seen?」

「Master and servant, ojousama」

「Rejected」

That isn't the word I desire, servant

「Then, superior and subordinate?」

「Please separate from above and below」

「Female and feotten strangely, strangely literal haven't you」

「No, I have si the facts but, is there a proble out of ht, Ilya is……

Furtherh friends who get along or, fa are fine

Ma～whatever

「Let's go about the festival together today okay, Ilya?」

「Hai, ojousarown rare for us to do the sort of things where it's just the two of us hasn't it」

「Is that the case?」

「It is When we set out on a journey, the pair of ojousaether」

「I suppose so……」

Till quickly vanishes doesn't she……

Since we left Rinal, I've always been protected by this child

「Thank you, Ilya」

「That sort of appreciation……I am――」

It seeainst Ilya's ive you your freedom at any ti that would cause injury to ojousa the hand I used to seal Ilya's etic words

Certainly I e but, that seems ethically heavy

This transaction, hereafter and until now is only with Ilya

「Nevertheless, it isn't the case that I want to let go of my connection with ojousama」

「……Actually, I'm the sa that should concern you, ojousa nor to be happy for」

Even though if not for the ic power, this child could live on anywhere couldn't she……

「Ojousama's heart is very beautiful It very tranquilly, ht simply be because I was raised in that sort of era

「However ojousaht Ilya?」

「Hai, in order to release me ojousama's will alone is not sufficient」

「Eh! Is that so!?」

「Within the presence of the coment, it is necessary that I pay back the monetary sum that was received in my purchase」

I see, there must be an observer for the release, so that the uess

Since within this world there exists charht

That occasion would, ry……

Maa Ilya wouldn't do such a thing so, this is just a general conversation

In short……

「40 gold coins?」

「Hai, thinking about it normally it's completely impossible, ojousama」

「B, but the current es for Ilya as well you know?

「That is ojousa that is old coins is to myself, extremely」

In short that is to say that Ilya has no intention of using the money she receives from ot a ot maid-sans, I earned even more in profits and I'old coin is quite the amount isn't it

……That is why, Aim broke her heart as she collected that sum

「So, then, that means that Ilya will be at my side until she messes up and dies doesn't it?」

「Hai However to use this body to its end is, so to I placed my hand on Ilya's cheek, and drewclosely Ilya's expression is alluringly beautiful

……But this is a public road beneath the open sky

I clearly understand the gazes facing us fro by

「……Did you know?」

「Hai, but ht be fine, so」

Ilya is, an is……

Still as I was constrained by common sense I pro

In one section of the festival, there's blue sky gafacing me with focused eyes

「Fuhi, nee-chan, if I win let ain!

「Unfortunately, only Eclair and Kran and oneechan and I can do what they please with this body, for now」

「Oh, ooh……That's quite a lot isn't it」

Nn?

「Ojousaht of as a bitch so it's fine not to answer honestly there」

「That, so?」

Ilya softly whispered into my ear

By the way I've prepared myself to receive shi+on-san but, there hasn't been an event of having soeither way, let's keep going」

The ossan dealer nodded expressing a creepy sy, because of these idiots」

The one to call out toin the player seat next to me

Further to that side there's the two ht with hilasses-kun was at soether were his favorite

「Please don't mind it, it's just fine whoever wins」

This is also soh winning or losing is a personal responsibility it's that which is called a boat that's already left the port

To begin with this stinks of fraud so, it's hunizeto die on this sort of festival day

「If whoever this person is wins then you'll really call it even for us?」

「Of course, I don't tell lies In return if this side wins, how about I take double? Fuhihi」

「So, it's been said but, is that okay?」

I tried asking glasses-kun, just in case

Glasses-kun nodded without his facial color changing at all

「Aah, either way at this rate heads will roll There's no choice but to win here」

The men in the back nodded with teary eyes

「Ah, is that so……」

Keep it in uys……

「Then, in that ed」

And as such, therather like it in this other world so, nothing in this galasses, and the twothese wins against this fishy dealer that's dealing

「I' are you, toad like revolting guy isn't he

He intends to defraud us either way I suppose but, is that so he can do quickly if he's observed very carefully

「Please wait, this is a one round match So as to ensure fairness, please allow this side to cut the cards one uy issn't he, since couy I've met

I snatched the cards from the toad ossan and, promptly cut them

……Maybe because my hands had beco

After Ilya cut the cards for me beside me, the cards were returned

The ossan set theo with this～」

「……Go ahead」

I thought the toad would do one more cut but, that didn't happen

Does he intend to be unexpectedly fair?

No, impossible……I can't be optimistic surely

The rules are the same as in my previous world so it's a normal type

So as not to pass 21, it's athe points on the trump cards in the hand

And so there's thethe dealer's

The card points are, cards 2～10 are worth their numeric value

All picture cards count as 10

Ace is, 11 so long as the sue that doesn't pass 21, in the case that it does pass that it counts as 1

As a result ace is a fairly strong card

「Hihi」

Un, this person is viscerally no good

While raising a sickening laughing voice, toad distributed 2 cards each with himself included

This time the dealer and players impartially displayed 1 card, with one distributed face down

And so there's a sort of special rule that that face down 1 card will remain face down until the time to face off

That is the equal rule for the purpose of this tinificant sense of tension

「Fumu……」

The first of the visible cards distributed toa hit can I

A hit is, to have an additional card distributed

In reverse when it's said it's already fine to face off, it's called a stand

「Do a hit」

「Hit」

「Hit!」

「It's hit!」

「Fuhihi, hit」

Under this timent as the players and, pulled cards in the same style

For one round everyone hit――

「Stand」

「Eh!?」

With a refreshi+ngly familiar tone from the adjacent seat, she made a bold declaration of a stand

Stand fro to face off, Ilya!?

The 1 and only card shown in Ilya's hand is a, picture card

6 sets of cards were set in the shoe so, picture cards are the most easily dealt cards

The probability that the face down card is a picture card is definitely high

Has Ilya already read that she's at 20?

Maa, it's fine

On the other hand, as dealt to my hand after that hit is……a 5

This is……what to do?

Are, these points still too low to face off with?

3, 5, and 1 face down card

Just what is this 1 card, it's that sort of matter but……

「……Do a hit」

I'll continue

I've decided

「Hit」

「U……Guu, stand」

「Hi, hit it!」

「Fuhihi, stand」

The dealer has stopped has he

The dealer's hand is 8, 7, and his face down card

……This, gives a bad premonition

It's called a bust if the point sum exceeds 21 and that automatically beco

And so the points distributed to me this time are……a 2

Ku……this is, too difficult

Even if card counting isthe one round match with 6 sets of cards set in the card shoe is pretty much impossible

Should I trust to chance……

It would have been good if I'd brought Aim with me!

My current cards are, 3, 5, 2, and 1 face down card

「……It's, another hit!」

「Stand」

「It's, it's stand!」

Everyone besides me did a stand

And so the card distributed to me is a, 4!
