In the end, the purpose was to capture the Iron Tigers, not a duel.

Various squid samas using the Shinshin jewels were exposed and it was no longer terribly difficult to figure it all out on the spot alone. All concerned decided that it was no longer a problem that could be solved solely within the guild, as they were playing card gambling in a liquor store, playing beauty bureaux in association with Clodine, or because various suspicions had been dug up by potato ceremonies rather than the wrongdoing of such a duel. It was immediately handed over to the Knights of the Sun, who guarded the labyrinth city, and transported to the detention area. Nick and the others won without a complaint.

but there was a miscalculation here.

I beat him too beautifully, and the story got hustled around me a lot.

The hustle and bustle caused unexpected things to happen.

"I didn't expect the victim to gush out all the other tricks... and I don't even know if I'll get back what I wound up with"

The next day after the duel.

Nick said as he sighed in his inn room.

"I don't have a choice. If they were the only ones getting their money back from the bluff, they might have been jealous and left in trouble later. There's a reward from the Adventurer Alliance, and it's good."

And Kizna makes the ultimate point.

"Well, that's true."

"You've earned a lot of money. Why don't we just get some rest first, like Karan did?

The hardest part of this time would have been Karan, who kept working on the computational issues by the time Shinxin Jewel was used.

Even though the Iron Tigers took it backwards that they wanted to buy time and make sure they decided on a long stretch of battle, Karan, who has been studying for four or six hours, sleeps all the way in the room next to the inn, running out of energy and roots. I knocked to wake him up in the morning, but he said "Still sleeping" and started sleeping twice, and he was still resting sloppily in the evening. Usually Karan wakes up early in the morning and wakes up Nick, or he's been out all day for a meal walk, so this was his first time in the situation.

"Can I plug Karan in later?"

"Um, I've been studying hard. I would have been tired."

"No, you're not very tired. It's a lot bigger when you're tired. It was a pain in the ass."

"I can't afford to get beat up."

"I got Zem to recover. … so I'm just gonna go hang out"

"Play? Where?

"There's a park where bards (idols) do guerrilla live every now and then, so I'll check it out"

"It would be nice if the bard (idol) did it..."

"Humans need moments when they can be wagammas. Is Kizna nothing?

"Hmm... I used to distribute videos when the network infrastructure was alive."

"What do you say? What the hell?

"I don't care what you say. Besides, I'd like to see it."

"Uh, don't bother me."

"That's good - a little bit. I'd love to see it if it's a busy event with me."

"Damn, shaggy......"

Fountain Square in West Park is always cluttered and busy.

It is crowded and bright air in public because of the variety of individual businesses allowed, such as opening stores and spectacles.

If it is a sunny day.

"It's been raining so hard."

"No, you can't. Shit."

During this period of withholding summer, the weather in labyrinth cities is changeable.

Sudden rain is rare.

Nick and Kizna lived in the rain under a nearby tree.

"I'm not even going to stop it. What do you want me to do?

"Hey, wet rat, but go home."

Ha, and around Nick sighed, a rain-dwelling human came under the tree as well.

"Ah, it's not a mess anymore..."

A girl is waving her robe to judgment and paying for water droplets.

The face was familiar to Nick and the others.

"That, Tiana"

"Oh, Kizna to Nick. What's wrong with you?"

"I've come to see this unexpected performance (guerrilla live) because it's common..."

I'll see you later.

Tiana smiles dry.

"What about you? Is that the usual dragon race?

"The dragon race won't be stopped until it rains. I'm shopping today..."

"It's a bit of moving around in the rain, too. It's a disaster."

"We're each other... oh, yeah"

"Hmm? What's up?

"Wouldn't you like to hang out a little?

Tiana took me, and Nick and Kizna walked in the rain.

Wherever Nick asks, Tiana moves on from good to good. Tiana stopped walking around a somewhat elegant neighborhood at the border between downtown and luxury residential areas. The exterior is still a luxury hotel. However, the sign placed on the entrance indicates that it is not a hotel. Several magic lights illuminate the entrance brightly, but there are no noisy drunkards. Rather flashy but trying to show some elegance, there was such a flair.

"Welcome"

"Oh, oh..."

Nick snorted at the clerk's words as he was in a hurry.

I've never been in a place like this before.

"I've never seen you two before."

"Would you like a description of the facility?

"I'll do it."

"I understand, please take your time"

Tiana walks away on the floor of the carpet, as if it were her own mansion.

While moist music plays around, the light sounds of the coin scrubbing and shuffling the cards echo.

"... I've never seen a casino before."

"I'll treat you today or so."

Tiana kept a coined bucket at the reception and kept it intact with Nick.

"Dude, I don't know the rules!

"You know about cards, don't you?

"No, I was trying not to do much..."

Nick turned that way in embarrassment.

"Oh surprise. Scared?"

When Tiana grins slightly, Nick turns that way with a bumpy face.

"Didn't you just fight the bastard? I'm glad I found out you're using Shinshin Jewels, but if I didn't, I might have sucked."

"You idiot, this is the kind of decent casino I take care of magic and magic equipment. Even cards use special paper and ink that are less susceptible to magic."

"Then there are some amazing people out there as pure technology other than magic? There was this guy at the old nest party who was getting cold and poor every time he went, and I knew he couldn't beat the pros."

"Sure, if you get hit like a good one and you realize it, you can be naked..."

"Right?"

"So I'll show you how to play that won't happen"

"Hey, hey!

"Oh, really? Leave it to me. What good is it that you don't have to know the rules...?

Nick and Kizna arrive on foot as Tiana walks straight without hesitation.

Tiana proceeded straight to the bar counter, where the three sat side by side.

Bartender, give this kid something sweet.

The man who was behind the counter starts to move tediously as he nods.

Nick looked at it and asked Tiana a question.

"You've been gambling besides racing dragons, haven't you?

"This one's really a game, though. I haven't even won in total."

"It's strange to be able to win in total. Speaking of which, does Kizna know the rules or something?

"... you can't gamble because the Code of Ethics restricts you. When I break it, I feel nagging and not good."

Answered Kizna as she swelled her puffy cheeks.

"Well. Maybe if you meditate on your eyes for a second, you can't?

"I can't do it, but it's no bother. I'm gonna rest here."

Where he looked so dissatisfied, the bartender offered him a plate.

On the plate, a round vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce sat.

"Oh, you have ice cream! Good or good!

Where did you get so dissatisfied earlier, Kizna began to cheek with great joy.

"That's a cash one, you too"

"Hmm, you don't have eyes for the taste of this kind of civilization. Not as good as Karan. Then you'll regret being swallowed up by primitive gambling enthusiasm."

"Alas, if you say so, you're going to have to win. I'm coming, Nick."

"That's why you're saying I'm amateur!
