This is probably the last match in the fifth match.

The moment I finished distributing the card and opened the boost card, I heard a surprise from the surroundings.

"Boost cards are crystals. Just so you know, after the bet is over and we check each other's hands, we'll exchange it for the top card of the pile. Okay?"

"Oh, okay."

This time, I was a mediator. [M]

The one who tries to ruin my plan with a sense of sightseeing is now relentlessly pushing to ruin. [M]

This man, Leonard, has a talent that I can't even emulate, whether he wants to help or not.

It looks like it hit the wall, but if it doesn't get as hot as before, we'll still be able to live well.

"Hey, what's up?"

Yeah?

Leonard shouted strangely when he was worried.

"I'm asking if you want to see my hand."

"Oh, that's okay. Isn't that more interesting?

I've never seen a hand before. [M]

Of course, I am not willing to exchange it, so it remains as it is.

"... are you crazy?

"Of course, by the way, I don't exchange, but how many do you exchange?

Leonard is worried about putting his hand around his mouth.

Of course, I don't have a boost card that should be an indicator this time.

You have to choose what you want and what you want to throw away.

"... 'I have no choice but to live in an invisible world'"

Leonard murmured.

That's what I just said.

You were expecting this, like a fortuneteller.

Well then. However, if you don't know what's going to happen next, maybe you can rely on a fortuneteller for anything. I'm sure you know a lot of things you don't. It's a good piece of advice that leads to the future. "

……

Leonard raised his face and turned his gaze from me to Risha. [M]

I asked him to come to the table as if his eyes were right.

"Um, I wonder if she said something like... I need to ask you something."

No.

There is no smell.

"Do something about it. I need advice."

No.

There were no more islands to attach.

With Leonard on her ass trying to say something, Risha returns to her original position.

It's kind of pathetic.

"Kuku"

"Don't laugh! Ah, shit, anybody else! Somebody help!

Leonard's gaze gathered around him, and a mockery called * giggle * flew in.

Leonard kept asking for help while his face turned bright red, and I remembered an unspeakable sense of accomplishment.

"Can I help you?

It was an unexpected person who reached out. [M]

"Ah, Albes Retrude....!

Leonard distorts his face in dismay.

Former adventurer, head of the Guild Rust Brigade and owner of the illegal casino Rusty Sword.

There's no way Leonard doesn't know he's a knight in King's Landing.

"Ah, no, Mr. Albes, this is..."

And vice versa.

There's no way anyone like Albes wouldn't know Leonard.

"It's not like you, Rosie, to be scared of anything. Stay calm in front of the customer."

I wondered if there was any blame for not reporting on Leonard, who had sneaked into the game, and Albes remained smiling.

And when he dropped his gaze on the table, he nodded convincingly and moved to the next to Leonard.

Excuse me, I'll show you.

That's how Mr Albes peeked into Leonard's hand.

Hmm, this is hard.

"... ah, oh, that's why I asked for advice. What do you normally do in times like these?

Unsurprisingly, it was Leonard who approached me.

I wonder if you realized that Albes didn't come out to get rid of himself.

"Rosie, you will never get off this match. Is that right?

"Yes, of course."

Since I will mention the hand, is it unfair if I get off accordingly? [M]

After all, there was no problem because I had no intention of falling off the match. [M]

"I'm sure it is. Mr. Leonard, there is no fixed stone for a hand like this. You can rely on your own intuition, Jinx. You can bet everything on betting time again. I'm sure Rosie will win this time, so it's important to make the hand a little stronger."

"Intuition, jinx...."

I don't think so. This is a problem where there are answers, but there is no formula to guide the solution. Naturally, it's difficult. So we have to choose. "

I think there was something in the word "we."

Could it be advice as a person standing on top of others?

"I'll choose..."

"It's up to you. I'm in your way."

Pom, slap him on the shoulder and Mr. Albes leaves.

I've come to see how things are... peaceful.

It's about time we realized that Bay and Roy at the entrance had been disabled, but I wonder what's going on over there.

Leonard, on the other hand, had a thoughtful face.

The line of sight is not directed at the card. Are you thinking of something else?

Okay, I've made up my mind.

Eventually, Leonard says, "Water and dirt come out of the hand one by one."

"Exchange, two cards."

I put the card back, shuffled it, and redistributed it to Leonard.

Let's start the last bet time.

"Needless to say, I'll raise two."

"There is no fold choice for this period. It's Cole."

I don't have the same anger or anxiety on my face as before.

It wasn't just this game, it seemed like I was ready to face things from the front.

I don't think I need any more mediation.

Come on, Showdown.

The gallery I was looking around stood around our table one day.

A hand is opened as everyone on the spot sips and watches.

I have two dirt and one water, two flames and one wind.

The cheers rise.

Two players without advantages or disadvantages, and one without advantages or disadvantages - that is, the result of a complete draw.

"... uh, what happens?

"It depends on the boost card. A card with the same attributes as the Boost Card wins if it is a complete draw other than the same hand. So..."

I put my finger on the top of the bill. [M]

"It depends on this card."

Pull the card.

This time, there was no squid, and I really pulled the top card.

The gaze gathers.

Even Risha, who seemed uninterested in the game until now, stared seriously.

"Open"

The cards...

"Uh-oh! Rosie wins!

Apparently one of the drunks who escaped just now is back.

Cut out that cheer, applause everywhere and the fingers and whistles fly.

"Well, that's a shame."

Card is water.

I won.

"You're going to do it too, even if you just put two cards together from that hand!

"No, I'm not!

The gallery is swarming with me and Leonard.

I see, that's what Guys said when a Crystal becomes a Boost Card.

Well, Leonard doesn't seem to be satisfied, and I think it's settled down.

"... no, I lost, I lost. Let's go home quietly as promised."

"Honestly, I feel like I've served enough to get an extra charge, but okay?"

"Oh, thank you for looking after me. Really, it was worth more than a game today."

"Above all else. So, yes."

I stretched out my right hand to Leonard, who stood in his seat with a clean face, not telling him what I was going to do home.

"Handshake? Hmm, okay."

The moment I was about to be shaken, I raised my hand. [M]

"No, it's for the chips. Ten thousand is ten thousand."

Leonard draws his face with a quiet gallery.

At the end of my first time, I heard Albes laughing. [M]
