(041) Haru’s Roulette

Translator: Tseirp

Personally, I don’t quite know the rules for roulette but I’ll try explaining.

Roulette is made up of holes with the numbers ranging from 1 to 36 in red and black as well as 0 and 00 green holes for a total of 38 holes where the ball can fall into. If the hole the ball falls into is the same as the place you bet on then you can earn a certain amount.

For example, if you bet on red, there’s a 9/19 chance that it hits and the chip amount you bet would be doubled. If the ball falls into the black or green holes then your bet is forfeited.

In cases where you bet on the numbers, if the ball falls on the same number you bet on then you earn 36 times the bet you placed.

In short, it is a game where the bookmaker definitely wins if the game continues normally. Furthermore, professional dealers can control the strength they toss the ball to make it fall to the location he prefers so there’s even less hope for the player to win.

That’s how the rule is supposed to be.

The roulette spun and the ball began to move on the spinning panel … at the same time, Haru moved.

She placed the chips … however, it was not on red or black or odd number or even number.

She placed the chips on 13, 36, 24, 3, and 15, 5 places at once.

“Pl, please stop your bets.”

After the dealer declared so, you can no longer move your chips.

I wonder why did she choose those number?

I looked at the roulette as I thought that and I noticed that the numbers were clumped together.

The numbers on the roulette are assigned in a scattered manner.

And, the numbers 13, 36, 24, 3, and 15 were aligned in sequence on the roulette panel.

In other words, Haru predicted that the ball would fall around the number 24 and then, the ball fell slightly out of her prediction but it did fall into the number 3 hole.

“Ama, amazing, that’s 7 consecutive hits with this.”

“Can she really read the movement of the ball!? The panel is spinning you know!?”

“There’s no way that can be true, that is impossible even for the winged race who boast the best dynamic vision among all the races.”

The clamour from the audience couldn’t stop.

Hey hey, 7 consecutive correct choices?

By selecting 5 numbers, given 36 times profit, it is virtually multiplying her chips by 7 times and that happened 7 times consecutively.

” … Haru.”

“Master, I let you see a disgraceful sight. The shameful behaviour of choosing 5 numbers instead of accurately reading the movement of the ball.”

… What do you mean by shameful behaviour?

” … Incidentally, how many medals do you have right now?”

“Just in case, I didn’t use all the medals for betting and the upper limit for roulette is 1 green medal so I have about 12 red medals. I have some green medals as well.”

” … I see, good job.”

As I pat Haru’s head, I think she slightly overdid it.

If she continues, she would be mistaken for cheating, no, she’s already sufficiently cheating.

“How did master do in the slots?”

“How did you know that I was at the slot machines?”

“Because I could detect master’s scent from the slots corner.”

… Looks like Haru’s nose is in top form today as well.

“About 13 yellow medals.”

“To increase your medals to such an amount just through the slot machines that only rely on luck, as expected of master.”

… No no, I can only hear it as irony when she’s the one saying it.

For now, it seems like we can use the medals to order food so it might be slightly early but maybe we should have our lunch?

Right at the moment I was having that thought,

“Oh my, that roulette play just now was splendid.”

A man with a smile that looked like it was plastered on his face waved his arms greatly as he walked over.

“I am Gorsa, the boss of this casino.”

Shit, was she really mistaken to have cheated?

But we’ve not done anything wrong.

I only used the slots normally and Haru only normally (?) predicted the movement of the roulette ball.

However, perhaps he noticed I was wary, the man shook his head,

“No no, I merely would love to escort the 2 of you to the 2nd floor VIP seats. Originally, it is only a place where a person who had earned 10 black medals can enter but after seeing the skills of miss white wolf, I’d love to have a match with her.”

“I’d like to politely decline.”

I briefly declined.

“Why, could I ask for the reason?”

“We’re amateurs who has just visit the gambling parlour for the first time today. I don’t believe we can win against you, the owner of this shop.”

“No no, I am only the store manager in name …”

What store manager in name only. I can clearly see you know.

Currently, I do not know how and what to do to become a gambler.

However, he is clearly a professional on that path. Neither do I know what skills he possesses.

We wouldn’t notice even if he cheats.

Nevertheless, it’s scary to leave them thinking that we’ve cheated. Since we might get stabbed from behind.

” … Gorsa-san, leaving that aside, I’d like to ask something, is Gorsa-san able to exchange for such an item using your authority?”

I said and chuckled.

“Haru, sorry, your earnings were reduced significantly.”

“Don’t worry, I slightly overdid it as well.”

In the end, we only had 3 red medals and a couple white medals remaining on hand together with 100,000 sense.

The casino owner’s office.

There, we had our meal.

I was eating soft tender meat while Haru was eating tough meat.

They recommended wine as well but of course, I refused. Since it would be disastrous if I let Haru drink.

“I’m sorry for the trouble Gorsa-san, not only did we make you travel multiple round trips for us, you even treat us to lunch.”
