The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (1/4 chapters)
Casino Owner Makes a Run For It
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Well then… it seems I’ve run out of coins, so can I exchange them? Oh, and please exchange one hundred million of those for the prize, the ‘Saint Water Aquarius’.” (Harold)
I called out to one of the staff standing nearby, who was staring blankly, but they showed no reaction at all.
I don’t mind them being dazed, but I would at least like them to fulfill their job.
“Did you not hear? Your Highness Harold wishes to exchange for cash and the prize.” (Monica)
“Eek!? P-please wait just a moment!” (Staff)
Having a dagger pointed at him from behind by Monica brought the staff member back to his senses, and he hurriedly ran off somewhere.
He’s probably intending to consult the now-missing Baron Orlando.
“Hey, Aniki, isn’t this going a bit too far…?” (Owen)
“Why? I’m only enjoying the slots. Therefore, this casino has an obligation to pay me.” (Harold)
I glared at the astonished Owen with a pointed look, waiting for Baron Orlando to arrive.
Well, I’m sure he won’t come, though.
“Now, let’s go. Owen and Laila, I’m sorry, but could you keep an eye on the coins?” (Harold)
“Leave it to me. Anyone who even touches them will be eliminated.” (Laila)
“That’s fine, but…” (Owen)
Without changing her expression, Laila answered calmly, while Owen looked bewildered, unable to grasp the situation. However, both of them seemed eager and were intimidating those around them to keep their distance.
“Alright, let’s go.” (Harold)
“Yes!” (Alexandra)
“Understood!” (Monica)
We headed to where the earlier staff had gone, searching for Baron Orlando.
Then…
“Looks like that was one of the staff members from earlier.” (Alexandra
“It seems so…” (Harold)
On the floor lay a staff member, bleeding.
Perhaps he was killed by Orlando when he tried to escape?
“Let’s hurry.” (Harold)
We dashed further down the corridor.
“Your Highness Harold, I will go ahead and take a look.” (Monica)
“Thanks. …But be careful…” (Harold)
“Yes.” (Monica)
Monica lightly bowed and disappeared at incredible speed, leaving us behind in an instant.
If it were just an event boss, I could say there’s no way Monica would be defeated, but Orlando, the casino owner, is a different matter. He’s nothing more than a mob character, even in Enhaz. If so, his true strength is unknown… No, he’s likely stronger than the heroines of Enhaz. Just like the other mob characters, Xandra and Monica.
“Xandra! We need to hurry too!” (Harold)
“Yes!” (Alexandra)
We rushed through the casino corridors and kicked open the door to the staff entrance. We didn’t consider at all the possibility of an ambush because…
“Ahaha, what a bunch of fools.” (Harold)
“Hehe, truly.” (Alexandra)
We glanced at the people lying on the ground and smiled mockingly.
There’s no way a bunch of weaklings like you could be a match for Monica.
“But it’s convenient that we can just follow the fallen ones as a guide.” (Harold)
“Indeed. It’s so poorly executed that it’s almost laughable.” (Alexandra)
Baron Orlando probably anticipated this happening and secured an escape route, but underestimating our… or rather, Monica’s strength was his fundamental mistake.
At that moment.
*Kiin!*
“Xandra! That sound!” (Harold)
“Over there!” (Alexandra)
Monica was likely engaged in battle with someone. The metallic sound echoing through the night sky made my heart race.
I understand Monica’s strength, but there are always chances of something going wrong. So, I hope she remains safe.
“…You’re quite impressive.” (Monica)
“I’m surprised too. I never expected you, the maid of His Highness, to have such strength.” (Orlando)
When we arrived, there was Monica confronting Baron Orlando, weapons drawn.
Even so… Hmm, that man’s weapon is a stick. Such a thing doesn’t appear in Enhaz, but it’s definitely comparable to a UR weapon.
“It would be troubling, Baron Orlando. If you make off with the ‘Saint Water Aquarius’, I won’t be able to exchange it for the coins I worked so hard to earn.” (Harold)
“You say that well, considering you earned your coins through cheating.” (Orlando)
“Do you have proof that I cheated? If there’s no evidence, then it’s not cheating.” (Harold)
Yes, I did cheat. What made that possible was Laila’s unique skill, [Hacking], which allows her to control mechanical enemies. When I asked Laila, she said she could control any machine, and of course, that included the slots. So, I had her do a lot of [Hacking], which made everything hit big.
“How brazen of you…” (Orlando)
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. In any case, those are not words a casino owner should be saying.” (Harold)
In the world of gambling, it’s the one who gets duped who is at fault. The casino owner should know this better than anyone, so saying something like that just shows he’s not cut out for it. Well, perhaps it’s inevitable since there’s no cheating in the casino games of Enhaz.
“That’s enough. Hand over the ‘Saint Water Aquarius’ to me.” (Harold)
“Ha… haha…” (Orlando)
“What?” (Harold)
Seeing Baron Orlando suddenly burst into laughter, I tilted my head in confusion.
Honestly, I’m already quite tired of this pattern.
“Hahaha! Then, why don’t you try to take it from me?” (Orlando)
Baron Orlando laughed loudly and lunged at me.
