A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 78: Let's Play at the Casino

While being helped by Zweite, I was wearing a new dress that I bought this afternoon.

The dress I was wearing was a long purple dress adorned by tiny crystals that would glow when under the light.

I don't forget to wear gloves that are long enough to cover my elbows in the same color as my dress. Furthermore, I also wore black high heels which took me a while to get used to walking while wearing them.

Then this is the most troublesome.

That is wearing all kinds of accessories and knick-knacks so that my appearance looks festive. If it wasn't for Zweite's help then it might have taken me hours to put it on.

Of course I will not explain what accessories I wear because even I myself do not know what exactly I am wearing.

Evidently

one of the accessories I wore was a kind of thick crown decorated by bird feathers that I wore to cover which I now turned into a small rope wrapped around my head.

I hate things like this crown. It felt heavy and strange in the head.

This oath the Kingdom needs fashion reform as soon as possible.

Also, who the fuck started this fucking habit?

As Zweite paired the accessories to me, I glanced at Luna who was currently also being groomed by Victoria.

What she was wearing right now was a black Lolita Gothic dress full of lace that exceeded even the dress she was wearing earlier this afternoon. It's kind of funny to see Victoria having a hard time helping Luna because

his hands now looked normal, but his real hands were still like the hands of a lizard who struggled in doing activities that required precision.

After getting dressed, it is time to apply makeup.

Since I usually don't use any cosmetics, this will be the first time I'll apply makeup all-out.

Even so, I still would not cover my face with thick makeup as if I wanted to cook fried chicken. I will only apply thin makeup on my face with the exception of lipstick and eyeliner purple

light so I look a little flashy.

Grandma would be surprised to see my current appearance. If my mom sees this... I don't want to imagine it.

For Luna, her face was so self-sufficient that it made her look like a dark and pretentious goth child to match the dress she was wearing.

Huh... Even though I have dressed up like this, in the end half of my face will not be seen because it is covered by a mask.

It's also true, when it comes to masks, I'm back to making new masks for myself and Luna.

My new mask gives the impression of glamour while Luna's mask gives a dark impression.

After dressing up, we immediately went to the casino next to the hotel.

Arriving in front of the casino, I was again amazed at their architectural style which is very abstract and far from the impression of fantasy.

While being escorted by Percy and Zweite, we gracefully walked into the casino.

What greeted us inside was a large hall that looked majestic and sparkling. Unfortunately, this magnificent view cannot be enjoyed fully because people with festive makeup fill this hall to make this hall crowded with visitors who are engrossed in playing games.

The games available here seem foreign to me.

It seems that this world has its own game that is different from the games in the world there.

Well, there is no harm in learning a new game. I hope the difficulty level is lower than the one in the world there.

I now have a piece of casino with a total value equivalent to 100 million.

This casino is not made of metal or wood. It's made of plastic that I never thought I'd meet in this world.

"It's 10 million pieces. If there is a game that catches your attention, then please play"

Handing over 10 million pieces to Luna, I immediately looked at what game I could play.

Even though I had already handed the puck to play, Luna still did not seem to want to be separated from me and walked with me.

After walking around for a while, I found a table playing a card game I had never seen before.

The cards they play have no numerical value but instead use images of mystical animals with unique and beautiful shapes.

Since the table was already full, I only looked from the side with the other spectators.

I used this opportunity to watch as well as learn how the rules of this card game were.

After watching for some time, I found out that this game is called Nature Law. In short this is a game that requires players to choose animals in the categories Carnivora, Herbivore, and

Omnivore.

Each player and the croupier will pick one card from their hand and place it on the table in a face down state.

The main focus in this game is to beat the dealer.

The players must be smart in choosing what cards will be effective in beating the card of the croupier.

If the dealer chooses a Carnivore card, then the player must use the Omnivora card to be able to win. If the croupier uses Herbivore cards, then the player must use Carnivora. If the city uses

Omnivores, then the player must use Herbivores.

In summary: Carnivore → Herbivore → Omnivore → Carnivore.

I don't understand how Herbivores can defeat Omnivores and how Omnivores can defeat Carnivores. But since I'm not the one making this game then I can just shut up.

Also, is not this game actually just a stone scissors paper version of the card?

Before long one of the players sitting at the table finally ran out of pieces and was forced to give up.

"The seat is empty, are any of the spectators willing to take its place?"

...

Visiting the casino with Master, I felt that I shouldn't be here.

While I was still studying at Sol Ciel always just coated myself with [Illusion Magic] so that my existence was invisible to others. That I did so that no one would start a conversation with me and so that I would not be mobbed by many people.

It's not that I don't want to be friends, it's just that I don't know how.

I also don't know what to do to start a conversation and would feel awkward if suddenly spoken to.

Especially with my background which comes from the Demon race (Devil). What is even worse is the blood of a demon (Devil) that I inherited is the blood of a Succubus. Whenever anyone knows this fact, they

must have thought that I was a pervert who had a lot of experience in love affairs.

Which is all wrong and always asked so I feel uncomfortable.

Therefore I made myself invisible so that no one approached me and forced me to enter into a conversation.

Although the blessing was almost no one remembered my existence, but at least this was better than those who purposely avoided me for not liking me.

However, now, that lonely life I could no longer feel.

I who had become a disciple of a Ciel automatically became the center of attention. I'm sure the people in Sol Ciel right now must be busy talking about me. If they see me, they will surely swarm me and flood me with a thousand questions just like they did with Clara before.

And now, wearing a beautiful luxurious dress I stand in the middle of a rich man dressed as lavishly as the one I wear.

The view of the casino full of sparkling light is much different from the beautiful forest scenery that I have seen so far.

"The winner is Miss Malika!"

A delighted expression was drawn on Master's face when his victory was announced. After two losses, his first victory must have been sweet to him because of his happiness to the point of not being able to be covered by the mask he was wearing.

Drifted away by his first win, Master bet again.

I don't know how much longer I have to stand here. Looking at Master's current attitude, I'm sure he'll keep betting until he's satisfied or until his money is drained.

A few weeks spent with Master, I began to understand his personality.

Unlike Miss Rosemary who was always so kind as to make her look perfect and always run the Quest given to her seriously, Master only appeared graceful if she was at the official event only.

When Master is free or when he is not studying and doing experiments, Master will do random things until I no longer know what he really thinks.

Sometimes Master will just relax like on the beach, sometimes Master will make strange items using [Alchemy] just to fill free time, and most often is Master will

tormenting his slaves with strange punishments even though they were actually not wrong.

Even when Master obtained a Quest from the Cardinal Chief though, he would always find a way to have as much fun as he was today.

Although his attitude is like that, Master is actually a hard worker who always carries out his duties with full attention.

Even at this time I believe Master is gathering information like this morning he sent his family to spy on the ancient ruins that were the main source of the Narsist Kingdom obtaining their cursed items.

Although this was just a coincidence, thanks to Master taking me shopping for clothes made us find out that the Prince of Drakon Kingdom had betrayed his own Kingdom and had now joined Narsist Kingdom.

But the fact that I am free remains unchanged.

Ripping through the pieces of the casino that Master handed me, and after seeing how happy Master's face was now, made me curious and also wanted to give it a try.

Accompanied by Zweite who acted as my bodyguard, I also toured the casino.

No matter which gaming table I visit, they are always full of gamblers cheering their winnings or desperate cries for those who have just lost everything.

After watching for a while, I found out that the game they were playing was called Fish Eyes. The essence of the game is that the players have to throw two dice with six sides and each other

compete which gets the lowest score.

The winning player will receive all the pieces wagered by the other players.

If any player there gets a double one which is the lowest value, then he will automatically win and will even get a puck twice of the total puck wagered on

round that.

As for the player who will get the double six which is the highest value, he will have to pay double the pieces he bet.

It is a simple game that depends entirely on luck.

Even I who have never gambled will be able to easily play it.

"Young lady, you seem to be interested in this game. Would you like to join us?"

Getting an offer from the bookie, I also had no reason not to nod.

There are six players and a bookie.

Each player has received their dice and on the instructions of the dealer, we also start betting. Even though I have received a total of 10 million pieces, I am afraid to lose and even waste money Master chose to bet with the lowest value of 100 thousand.

Placing a single chip equal to 100 thousand on the table, and after all the players gave their bets, the croupier instructed us to start throwing the dice.

Shaking it for a while with both hands, I threw my chest onto the table.

"The winner is Miss Selene!"

With numbers one and three, the value of four turns out to be the lowest value in this round. Receiving a piece from another player, I felt my first victory.

...

Satisfied after playing a few rounds, I also tried other games.

Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. But I am confident that my victory is far more than my defeat.

It was evident from the pieces of the casino that I managed to win its value was already equivalent to 500 million.

Playing gambling feels so much fun as long as you win and get rich.

It's a shame I can't enjoy this win with Luna because I don't know when she's been wandering around on her own when I'm playing.

Well, I gave him the puck myself to play.

When I was going around looking for an interesting game, I found Luna playing a game that uses dice. He seemed to really enjoy his game so I let him go

play until satisfied.

Since Zweite is with him then I don't have to worry that he's going to get into trouble.

Huh... Having fun in this sparkling place, made me feel like opening my own casino.

Oh, isn't that a good idea?

But, if I open it in Gata City I doubt I will make much profit. If I want to open a casino, it would be nice for me to open it in a big city or just open it in the Capital.

Hm... I'll think back.

Satisfied with playing, I decided to take a break at the luxurious bar available inside the casino.

I ordered the bartender a drink that I didn't know was actually what but the name sounded beautiful.

As I was enjoying my drink, a gentleman came to me and ordered a drink.

Although he said nothing, I could feel his eyes occasionally glancing at me.

It's obvious that he's interested in me. However, since I had no reason to speak to him, I was silent as well.

After he received his drink and drank a mouthful, he finally dared to greet me.

"Miss Face looks new, is this the first time Miss has come to the casino?"

Again, since I had no reason to speak to him, I intended to remain silent regardless of his words. But just sitting still doesn't feel good.

"That's right, the only time I got permission to be able to visit a place like this"

"Ohh... Your family must be very strict. As a father, I would also be hesitant to allow my son to visit a place that could cost you everything"

These fathers already have children but still deletin young women? That bini in the house is not taken care of? Or maybe divorced so find a new mother for her child?

"That's right. Although not as strict as the Nobles' son, my mother was always very overprotective of me"

"Haha... All of you will be like that too"

We continued to talk while enjoying the drinks we ordered. After several changes in the subject, what we talked about next caught my attention.

"Since I was young, I kept trying to grow my business so that I could buy the right to be a noble. Even being a Baron without a domain is more than enough to guarantee your life for future generations.

But, after hearing what happened to many noble families now... Huh"

His face looked tired and disappointed as he said that. When he realized the glass was empty, he asked for a refill.

I didn't think that it turned out that you could buy the right to the title of Noble. If this is in another Kingdom, you must strive to gain a great reputation in the eyes of the King so that you can be in the

raise to be a nobleman.

The Nobles Family... Otherwise one of the only issues between the Nobles Family recently was the news about it.

"Inheritance struggles are common to every family. But, the scale would be different if it was the Noble Family"

"If you may ask, does Miss Family have any issues in terms of inheritance rights?"

"Fortunately there is none. All the inheritance I've given to my sister"

"Oh, why is that? Aren't you interested in your family's legacy?"

"How should I tell him? Just tell me the business my family's running right now is too rigid for me. So, by handing it over to my sister, it made me free.

Of course I can't live without work. So I plan to open my own business. But I don't know what kind of business suits me"

Of course I already have a business that is a Dungeon and soon I will officially enter into the night entertainment business.

But since my business is in another Kingdom, so I can't possibly say it.

"Young blood. A little advice from this old man. Opening a new business is going to be hard. As Miss knows, this Kingdom is very closed off from the outside world. So all business revolves around the Kingdom alone.

It made all the land that was taken.

Sad to say this. But it's better to just give up. If Miss wants to be able to live without having to rely on her parents, because Miss is a woman, why don't Miss find a husband and make a family"

"It's easy to say, but where can I find an established man?"

"Obviously not here. The wrong money for the preparation of your marriage even runs out he uses to bet. Especially..."

He whispered to me in a low voice.

"The Second Prince was always here every week in search of a new 'toys"

Seeing his serious face, I can guess that this 'toys' might not end well.

As if this was a perfectly fitting coincidence, there was a commotion in the game area. His voice was neither like a great victory nor a man who went mad from defeat.

Curious, I also found out what the commotion was.

What I saw was a group of Passionate Knights opening a path for someone.

Right in the middle of those Knights, was a handsome man with silver-colored hair and eyes. The clothes he was wearing seemed to shout the word 'LUXURY' which made his appearance even more

glittered under the light of the lamp.

He's not a random guy.

He was the Second Prince of the Narsist Kingdom, Argenti ol Narsist.

His face was painted on the paper currency of this Kingdom so it was not wrong anymore.

Seeing the Prince being here, then it was only natural that there was a commotion. It's just that's not the cause of the commotion this time.

"Ah... It seems that the Second Prince has already gotten his 'play' for the week"

The gentlemen who had been drinking with me seemed to be curious and also took a look. But, without the need for him to tell even though I can guess.

That's because Prince Argenti is now holding a girl like a princess.

Different from Prince Argenti who was smiling widely, the girl revealed a confused expression and did not know how to. When our gazes met, without even opening her mouth, the girl's expression clearly said that she asked for my help.

That's right, the girl that Prince Argenti was carrying was none other than Luna.
