Part 1

(“A cheater within mahorova’s casino area”… “Mainly playing roulette” was it…)

Cheating… This certainly is a matter that cannot be left alone.

(However, I’ll need to grab some evidence first…)

Oh! I may have an idea.

Mm~! This seriously slaps~! Undercooked noodles, thick soup, extra oil, a half-boiled egg, and all with a side of a chunky chashu bowl!

Thanks for the treat again, Raito-san!

Don’t worry about it. You can never go wrong with the ramen here.

Speaking of which, Akuta, are you interested in going to a casino?

A casino!? When you say casino, y’mean the casino where people get filthy rich and big gambles unfold, THAT casino!?

Well, it takes place in mahorova, so hard cash isn’t involved. However, if we’re talking about the high stakes, then yes.

If you’re interested, how about coming along with me? Apparently you can try dealing there.

Ooooohh~! Hell yeah I’m interested!

But I don’t really know the rules though~.

Besides, I’m a minor, so wouldn’t that get you in trouble?

In that case, how about being a cameraman and filming an advertisement? If it’s you, I’m sure the footage will turn out splendid.

No way!? You’re telling me I can film?? I’ll record the sickest, most fire video for you, Raito-san!!

Thanks. I’m counting on you.

Hey, we logged in with our bio avatars ‘cause of that right?

That’s right. You’ve got an important job to do after all.

Besides, we give a bigger first impression by showing up full body, wouldn’t you agree?

Bet, bet. I feel like Aquaguy¹ from the American comic strips right now.

I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. Now then, let’s be off.

WHOAAAA!! THIS PLACE IS LIIIIT!! It’s all shiny and really screams THE. CASINO.!!

It’s been a while since I’ve last been here, but it’s as busy as ever.

*whispering* Yo, ain’t that Raito Kitakata?

*whispering* The founder’s here? Is today a blue moon?

Wow, everyone’s paying attention to you. You’re standing out like hell!

Is that so? Aren’t they just curious?

We’ve been waiting for you, Kitakata-sama. Thank you for accepting our request.

It’s alright, I also wished to see how the place was doing. We’ll be going around leisurely.

Understood.

Oho, so this is what it means to be well connected?

Well technically speaking, I am the founder. Now then…

Can I leave this with you?

AYO! My camera popped outta thin air!!

This is your job for today, Akuta. Take some nice footage for a casino advertisement.

Sir yes sir~! Whether it’s videos, or pictures, leave it all to me, boss!

Why don’t we start from the slot machines?

Bet!

Damn, there’s a whole lotta them. Hm? Wait, there’s literally an infinite number of machines?

The number of machines are prepared based on the amount of users that desire them. It’s set to multiply if there aren’t enough machines to go around.

Hmm~! That’s cracked.

Let’s take a look at the poker tables next. It’s a classic after all, so it’s pretty popular.

You’re right, it’s a full house. It’s totally giving rich and famous celeb vibes, like wow!

You can gain an upper hand just by matching two cards of the same suit. Shall we take a closer look?

Y’mean I get to be one of the A-listers!? Ah, but I gotta do my job first!

That’s true. Then why don’t we go sneak a peek after we’re done?

(At this rate, the job will be done in a flash.)
