Chapter 109 - The Noble (2/2)

Then Yami's smile gets even wider and he says. ”I promise on the name of the Sage of the Six Paths on all that is holy and right I shall never cheat.”

Well I guess we should play. I look at my maid who seems a little nervous, then I said. ”She will be playing also.”

Yami just nods. ”Sure no problem.”

I guess I could play games… better than doing nothing…

…

After some time I just stare at the cards. I can't help but think... how was this even possible.

After sixteen games we even started betting money after the 4th game… I just look at our resident ninja… we have played SIXTEEN games… and he has lost EVERY single one of them… his luck is horrible…

I don't even play poker… my maid just learned how to play the game and EVEN she won money… all of Yami's money that he was concurrently carrying all 100.000 Ryo… I just look towards the maid that has been my friend since I was young… she is 90.000 Ryo richer… I didn't lose money, actually I won 10.000 Ryo… but I was wondering… is my maid some type of gambling genius… I just squint my eyes and look at her body shaking and a happy smile on her face. She did just more than her yearly wage… probably… I am not really sure how much father even pays her..

Then I look at Yami, unlike us… he is the only one who lost money. 100.000 Ryo to be exact… then he just looks at me and with an embarrassed face and scratching  the back of his head he says. ”Can you buy me some food when we go to the next town… I lost all of my money to you guys.”

A ninja… just lost so much at poker… he really didn't cheat did he… but his luck sure sucks…

I just smiled at Yami and said to him with a familiar voice. ”Sure Yami…”

It is his money after all… and I guess he isn't such a bad guy.

Then suddenly he just hugs me. Bringing his arms around my neck and our bodies touching together… I could feel his body heat. ”THANK YOU.”

I blushed a little but he couldn't see it. Then when I came to my senses I told him.

”Ok, ok stop now Yami.”

Contrary to my plea he just gives me a deeper hug and says with a whispering voice. ”Nice people like you really do exist. You just rekindled my faith in humanity.”

When he says that,  I can't help but wonder, he really is a good guy..

I just… hug him back a little…

If I am going to be sold to  some noble… It wouldn't be so bad to...

(Do I really need to say what Yami is thinking…. Anyway we see that people have started to notice that Yami is an economic powerhouse.)
