“TRANSLATOR:Foxsunes/EDITOR TheNix”

  People value blood ties. They prefer their own kind. They are wary of outsiders and think of them as an enemy. But people who are attractive can break such borders with ease. They break barriers that take ages to break without any effort. That’s what Sansa thinks. 

  Today’s meeting is going really well, Sansa could feel it. 

 ｢Boss.｣

  One of Rou’s underlings entered the room when Sansa was thinking this. He quietly approached Rou and whispered something into his ears. Rou’s smile faded instantly after hearing it and his sharp glare got pointed at Sansa. 

 ｢Did something happen, Rou Daren? ｣

  Sansa inquired with a smile and Rou drank from his glass. 

 ｢There’s a customer in the casino that’s under the spotlight, her wins are quite attention grabbing. ｣

 ｢Ah, I see. ｣

  If a customer wins then the people who own the casino will be the one who’ll be losing. But this sleepless casino has plenty of wealthy people, so it shouldn’t be a big deal if one or two of them win extravagantly. There are tens of times more people contributing to the casino’s profit. 

  Sansa knew all this but her instincts were giving out an alarm that something really bad was happening. And if an underling has come to inform about it then it means that it isn’t just big wins. And most important thing out of all this is that Rou has told Sansa about it, there could be only one conclusion that can be deduced from it. 

 ｢It seems like that girl is someone who had accompanied you. ｣

  Rou’s eyes started flickering with distrust and we can’t blame him for that. Sansa came here to greet Rou and become acquainted but someone who accompanied her is winning so much that it’s disrupting the casino. This isn’t anything less than an insult. It would be strange if Rou didn’t have ill feelings for her after all this.  

 ｢She’s an acquaintance of Sansa whom I’m drinking with and having a good time tonight. I’m glad that she is enjoying herself greatly. ｣

  Rou put on a smile and started drinking again but his eyes weren’t smiling. Sansa didn’t feel alive anymore. Rou Daren is someone who has a lot of subordinates working for him, someone who controls not only this casino but a vast area surrounding it, he would never shout in front of his underlings. It would be disgraceful and he’ll be belittled by his underlings. But he isn’t tolerant enough to leave this be. Long story short, Rou is telling her to take care of that idiot. 

  Failure of this meeting can be a great hindrance for Sansa’s ambition. Not only that but this would also lead to disgracing the merchant who had arranged this meeting. And that’s something that should never happen. 

 ｢Excuse me, Rou Daren. Will it be alright if I take leave for a bit? I’ll go punish this cat that hasn’t been properly tamed. ｣

 ｢I see. I will be expecting good news then, my guest. ｣

  His words were clearly showing that he didn’t trust Sansa. 

***

  Sansa got out of Rou’s room and was being guided towards the casino by one of his subordinates. She heard the amount Nanana had won from him and was about to faint after hearing it. How did someone who only had around thirty thousand yen earn an amount enough to build a house in such a short period. This is absurd, this can’t be happening. 

 ｢I’m seriously going to beat her up.｣

  Sansa expressed her rage but she remembered something that someone had told her. 

 ｢Nanana-chan is probably someone who can do anything. ｣

  The day before yesterday Ikkaku Shunju declared that all activities would cease. That same day Nanana told us that she’ll do something about it. A girl told that to Sansa when she left the usual family restaurant. It was Kakyou Uzuki. Sansa doesn’t like her much since she seemed to be able to see through people. 

 ｢We get people like her once in a blue moon. They act as they please and accomplish great feats. ｣

 ｢Huh, I didn’t know the priestesses could joke. ｣

  I don’t know if it is true or false but she says that she is from an ancient lineage of priestesses and she can supposedly see things that others can’t see. 

 ｢Sansa-chan, remember one thing. There are exceptions to everything. ｣

  She said that and bid farewell. She then disappeared into the crowd. Sansa watched her fade and thought to herself. 

 ｢So, that’s what people refer to as a psychic.  ｣

 That’s what she thought back then but now that she recalls it, it feels like she was predicting this. 

***

  There are different ways of expressing your happiness and excitement but I think TPO is really important when it comes to choosing expressions. 

 ｢Ahahaha, people are like trash! ｣

  So, I expressed my joy like a certain colonel, since we were in a casino.

 Piles of chips were in front of me since I had kept winning, it was a spectacular sight.

  ｢ Nanana-san, you have mad luck. Idiotic luck! ｣

  Hao-chan standing next to me was having a lot of fun too. On top of that other guests in the casino were around us, it’s like I was the center of the casino no.

  Oh no, being in the spotlight is to be honest really embarrassing, tehe. Come to think of it, gambling is easier than I thought. It feels weird that I can get money just by doing this. I was thinking that when I saw someone pushing through the crowd and coming towards me.

 ｢ Oh, isn’t that Sansa? Heey, Sansa. ｣

  It was Sansa that had come towards us, Sansa who had gone away somewhere a while ago. It felt like Sansa’s expressions were a bit stiff. The moment she glanced at the piles of chips in front of me, she gave a lovely smile.

 ｢ Oh my, this is amazing, Nanana-chan. ｣

  I was surprised by her smile since I wasn’t used to seeing her smile like that but she had praised me so I smiled back at her.

 ｢ Nufufufu how’s this huh, Sana? You can call me the gamble queen from now on. ｣

  I leaned backwards with pride and Sansa put her hand on my shoulder.

 ｢ Seriously, this fat tits had to do it. ｣

  And then Sansa hugged me out of the blue.

 ｢ Eh, wha, what? What is it? ｣

  Squish

  I felt a sharp pain on my buttock right after that.

 ｢ Gyaaaa, stop pinching my butt! Wha…what are you doing Sansa…..san? ｣

  I started talking formally since Sansa’s face was right in front of me and her expressions were that of an ogre.

 ｢ Oi, fat tits. Shut up and follow me. Hao, you bring chips. ｣

  Sansa glared at me like a delinquent who was telling me to come behind the gymnasium after school. She had an aura around her that didn’t allow me to refuse, Hao seemed to have realized what the deal was and she started nodding.

 ｢ Un.. understood. ｣

  Sansa grabbed me by the neck and dragged me. 

*** 

 ｢ So, how did this happen? ｣

  Sansa inquired looking down at us from the chair she was sitting on.

  We were at a corner of the lounge outside the casino, I was there and for some reason Hao and I were made to sit straight on the floor.

 ｢ Eh, but why are you angry? Don’t I deserve to be praised for this? ｣

 ｢ I am asking how the hell did this happen. ｣

  Her voice was really deep. What is that deep voice straight from the depths of hell? And your facial expression is really frightening, Sansa-san.

 ｢ But like I was simply…..playing roulette so, I don’t have anything else to explain? ｣

 ｢ So, what king of trick did you pull to earn this much in this short amount of time? ｣

  Sansa started slapping the table with a large amount of chips and Hao-chan and I started looking at each other.

 ｢ It isn’t anything special I just told then which number the ball would enter. ｣

  I answered honestly and Sansa crossed her arms, she wasn’t in a good mood.

 ｢ Mm? ｣

  She tilted her head and started staring at me as if she was looking at something absurd. 

 ｢ Nanana, don’t…..don’t tell me that you kept going for a single number, you didn’t do that right?｣

  ｢I don’t know what you mean but I just kept getting the numbers right. ｣

  ｢And? How often did you get right? ｣

 ｢Every time. ｣

 ｢That’s impossible! What the hell is that!? You’d be earning thirty-five times the amount you bet! There is a limit to beginner’s luck!  ｣ ｢? Is that so? I don’t understand it that well. But come to think of it, every time I got it right the dealer gave me a lot of chips. ｣
