A few minutes after the conversation was over between me and Mr. Albes.

Although I don't know how important the contract is in the world, the Guild Rust Brigade hired me and signed a contract in writing to give me housing and wages in exchange for labor.

I thought paper was a luxury item, but it seems that the standard of living in that village was quite low, and it is commonly used in cities of that size like here in Cassia.

If I get a chance to get back there, I'll take a few of these.

"Come on, Bowes, let's get you to work where you're officially employed."

Guys brings me a bunch of cards from somewhere and hands them over to me.

It seems to be the same as the one my big tit sister was distributing.

"That's the Rusty Sword card from this store."

The thickness of a single card is almost the same as that of a typical card.

The touch is as cool and smooth as a steel card and to some extent smooth.

Seems like a set of 17 pieces.

The back has a blue based design, and the surface has 5 patterns in total.

Fire, water, earth, wind and crystal motifs?

Each Class has 4 Shards and only 1 Crystal.

This crystal will treat you like a joker on Trump.

"Oh, it's a much better card than I thought."

"Hahaha, that's right, Rosie. Every single one of them is a magic device."

"Eh, this?

To my surprise, Albes stood up with three fingers laughing. [M]

Is it about the price?

"Well, if you could live in 40,000 lithia for a month... 300, no, it's more expensive because it's magic equipment. 3000 lithia?

"What a pity, 30,000 lithium in one pair. You're right, if you're not luxurious, you won't have to eat for a month."

Amazing price.

No, my sense of money for magic equipment is wrong. [M]

"The card can't be seen through magical interference. If you can see through it, it won't be a gamble, so you can only play with that card.... you mean?

"Treat cards with care. Don't lose, don't steal, and don't let them steal. Is that right?"

Mr. Albes nodded satisfactorily.

No matter how much consumable it is, it is not an amount that can be easily added.

"Bowls are good, save me time explaining. All right, let's explain the rules."

Guys stood up and sat next to Mr. Albes.

It's shaped to face me. [M]

"This Element is a game where up to five players compete for the strength of a hand. First, the dealer shuffles the pile of cards and then distributes three cards backwards to the player."

When Guys shuffles the cards with a familiar handle, he alternates with me and distributes the cards.

Unbelievable dexterity from that big hand.

I wonder if I used to be a dealer.

"And put a card in front of all the players in a visible position"

The cards on the field are flames.

And my hand has two flames and one water.

"The player exchanges hands here only once, then looks at the dealer and decides the bet from the one on the left. The first person to present a bet is" Bet ", and those who do not participate in the bet are declared" Check. "Raise the bet, call the bet, fold the bet. Uh, I explained it all at once, remember?

"Oh, it looks like you're with poker around here. It's okay, you can continue."

"I don't know what" Pooka "is, but if Booze is okay, it's not a problem. Well, early on, this game was won by players who had many of the same patterns. However, the pattern is unfavourable, the flame is strong against the wind, the wind is strong against the soil, the soil is strong against the water, the water is strong against the flame, and it circulates like this."

Unlike cards, this card has an overwhelmingly small variety of patterns.

It is this advantageous and disadvantageous system that compensates for the susceptibility to withdrawals.

"For example, 2 water and 2 flames win 2 water. It was pulled off with 3 flames. In other words, there is a difference between advantages and disadvantages. But if you only have one piece of water, it won't work, so you win two flames."

Among the only three cards, the difference between one is quite large.

"And the cards on the scene are called boost cards, and when you have more than one card that matches the pattern, you can count that card as your own hand."

It's like a player-sharing hand. It's easy to understand if you imagine Texas Holdem.

It's important to know what kind of cards they want, but it seems like a rule that doesn't even match two or more of the same patterns.

This area is also very similar to poker.

"I see, because the boost card is a flame, you don't always have to keep the flame, but in some cases, you have the option to keep the dirt behind the weak spot water or behind it."

"Oh, my God, that's good to swallow."

Guys put two of his tags on the back while saying so.

Next, let's exchange hands. All dealers should be checked for replacement. Players should keep their hands facing each other like this when they want to exchange them. Once everyone's intentions have been expressed, have everyone confirm which cards have been exchanged, put them back into the pile tag, shuffle them, and redistribute the number of cards exchanged. It's important to know what to trade for later, so watch when you play it yourself. "

Guys flips two cards.

The earth and the wind are one by one.

Oh, I see.

Guys exchanged soil and wind for a boost card flame or a water card with its weaknesses.

It has the disadvantage of giving other players information about the card they are trying to collect, but it is also possible to bluff and bluff against it.

It seems simple and quite deep.

"And the crystal?

"He's special. It can be treated as any card."

I knew this was a joker.

It is strong for two or more players to be confirmed just by holding them.

"Probably not, but sometimes crystals become boost cards. But that was the most exciting time."

Guys turned the boost card backwards with a funny face.

"After everyone's bet is over and all cards are released, exchange the crystal for the top of the remaining pile of cards. Not only is there a rush without knowing which attributes are strong, but there is also the possibility of repetition at the end."

Indeed, even if you can read some attribute tendencies that are hand exchanges, the match may flip depending on the boost card.

"When I flip the bill, everyone, including the gallery, will calm down. At that moment, my skin feels tingling, and once I taste the air, I get sick."

And aside from the gambling addiction gays, I understood the general rule of being only a little closer to poker.

As a dealer, if you watch the game several times, you'll know the point of the game.

Well then, I'll keep this tag, no exchange.

Okay, the cards are open.

Guys and I show each other our hands. [M]

I have two flames, one water, and three boost cards.

The opposite Guys played the roles of two pieces of water, one piece of soil, and two pieces of water.

"Um, water is flame-resistant, so plus one to treat it as three pieces... is that a draw?

"No, in that case, we decide whether to win or lose with the one piece left. My soil is an advantage over Bowes' water, so I win this match."

I kept my hand as it is in an attempt to reduce the amount of water to the disadvantage of the flame player, but I can't believe I lost because of the soil that was no mark.

Not as a dealer, but as a regular player, this game seems pretty fun.

"There are quite a few rules about drawdowns. Well, it's faster to teach him to be a guard and educator while he's doing it. That's why I left it to Rosie, Risha."

Risha?

Beyond Guys' gaze, he pulled his face out of an impulse placed in the corner of the office and looked at the girl who was looking at us.

Beautifully cut silver hair, empty eyes, and eye-catching, upward-facing ears.

All of them were heterogeneous, and all of them were detached beauty.

As you may know, in one of these underground illegal casino offices...

I met one of the seven heroes called "The Silver Candle Risha" in later life, Risha Mystilia.
