Deciding to Play at the Casino

“Your Highness Harold, Your Highness Owen, welcome!” (Orlando)
That night, after meeting with Archbishop Sancroft and Iris, I came to the casino with Owen. Owen was sulking, but I brought him here forcibly. Thanks to Xandra.
“Thank you for the welcome. I have contemplated what to do about the treasure in question, and I believe making it a prize in the casino is the best approach.” (Harold)
“I see… Owen-dono, is that acceptable to you?” (Orlando)
At Baron Orlando’s inquiry, Owen silently nodded.
The correct answer is that he was made to nod forcibly with his head in a iron claw by Xandra.
“I understand. Then, let’s proceed to make it a prize. The required number of coins will be… well, let’s say, one hundred million coins.” (Orlando)
“““What!?””” (Xandra/Monica/Owen)
The moment those words were spoken, Xandra, Monica, and Owen all widened their eyes.
No, no, one hundred million coins? How many times do you think you could pull the gacha in Enhaz for that? That’s a dream of 30000 consecutive pulls!
“As it is a national treasure-level item, it is only natural that it would be valued at that much.” (Orlando)
“B-but that is equivalent to the national budget of a small country. This would mean you have no intention of handing it over as a prize…” (Owen)
“That can’t be helped. Furthermore, it is your judgment, Your Highness Harold, Your Highness Owen.” (Orlando)
“Wait! Aniki!” (Owen)
Owen could no longer hold back and raised his voice.
He must find it unbearable that, unless a miracle occurs, it has become impossible to obtain the Saint Water Aquarius, and it’s something I decided on my own.
However…
“Well, that’s true. I understand that it has that much value.” (Harold)
“As expected of Your Highness Harold, I’m glad you understand.” (Orlando)
Baron Orlando placed his hand on his chest and made a grand bow. But I didn’t miss the slight movement of his eyebrows.
From this reaction alone, it was clear that Baron Orlando is in league with King Eibar. After all, if the protagonist Owen doesn’t obtain the ‘Saint Water Aquarius,’ the scenario will collapse, so that’s something he wouldn’t want. That’s why he raised his eyebrows, right?
“That being said, I want to ask, can this casino actually prepare one hundred million coins?” (Harold)
“Of course. The total number of coins at this casino is one billion. The number currently in circulation in the hall is only a few million, so there’s no issue whatsoever.” (Orlando)
“I see.” (Harold)
Now, what should I do? Since it’s a chance, it wouldn’t be interesting to simply obtain the Saint Water Aquarius. Then, let’s see if I can make them cry a little.
“Okay. Then, I’ll earn that one hundred million and take the Saint Water Aquarius home. I’ll do it tonight.” (Harold)
“I see… that’s interesting. Wait, what? You mean you will ‘earn one hundred million’…?” (Orlando)
“It’s not a misunderstanding. I’ll acquire that amount of coins and take the ‘Saint Water Aquarius’ home with me. Moreover, I’ll do it tonight.” (Harold)
As I confidently stated this…
“Ha… hahahaha! How amusing! Truly amusing!” (Orlando)
Baron Orlando, probably thinking it’s impossible, began to laugh uproariously while holding his stomach.
“Very well! I absolutely encourage you to take on this challenge!” (Orlando)
“I’m glad you understand. Then, since time is precious, I’ll take my leave.” (Harold)
“Hahahaha… Yes, please enjoy yourselves.” (Orlando)
With a respectful bow from Baron Orlando, we were sent off into the venue floor.
“Hey, Aniki! What are you planning to do? You were acting so confident, but it’s impossible to earn one hundred million!” (Owen)
Owen confronted me with a serious expression, grabbing my collar.
His expression and way of speaking are definitely reminiscent of a delinquent from my past life.
“Hey, calm down. Just think about it. If I get three ‘7’ on the casino’s slot machine, what do you think will happen?” (Harold)
“Huh? Well, that would net you a million coins, right?” (Owen)
“Exactly? If I get three ‘7’ hundred times, that’ll be one hundred million right there.” (Harold)
“R-right… wait, that’s impossible! There’s no way that would hit that often!” (Owen)
Oh wow, Owen has learned to do a comedic retort.
“Well, we won’t know until we try. Just watch me.” (Harold)
We moved to the area with the slot machines, and I sat down in a chair.
“Now, let’s get started.” (Harold)
I inserted a coin and pulled the lever. As the lamps lit up and the drums began to spin vigorously, I placed my thumb on the stop button.
“Okay, okay, okay!” (Harold)
I pressed the button with a pleasant rhythm, and the drums stopped.
And then…
“S-seriously…?” (Owen)
The drums on the slot machine had perfectly stopped with ‘7’ on all three.
