Game 5, perhaps this is the last battle.

As soon as I finished handing out the cards and opened the boost cards, a surprising voice rose from all around me.

"The boost card is crystal. I'll explain it to you for once, but after the bets are over and we check each other's hand tags, we trade them for the cards at the top of the mountain tags. Like?"

"Oh, okay"

This time it was a treat for me to make. [M]

The one who tries to ruin my plan while I'm in a tourist mood is relentlessly pushing for ruin until now.

This guy named Leonard, he can't leave me alone or he wants to help me, he's got a talent that I can't even emulate anyway.

Sounds like he was hitting the wall somehow, but if he doesn't get as hot as he just did, he'll live well in the future.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Yeah?"

Leonard speaks out wondering if he's lost in thought.

"I'm asking you if you won't look at the hand tag."

"Oh, that's all right. Isn't that funnier?

I have never seen a hand note so far. [M]

Of course, I'm not willing to replace it, so it stays this way.

"... are you insane?

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

Leonard worried with his hands on his mouth.

Naturally, there are no boost cards to be used as indicators this time.

I just have to choose what I choose and what I throw away.

"... 'I just have to live in a world where I can't see ahead'"

Leonard shrugs.

That's what I said earlier.

"You foresaw this happening, like a fortune-teller"

"Well. However, if you're anxious not to know what's going to happen next, maybe you can rely on a fortune teller or whatever. I'm sure you know a lot of things you don't. It'll give you some good advice on how to get to the future."

……

Leonard, with his face up, shifts his gaze from me to Leisha.

Did I see you, or did I ask you to come straight to the table?

"Uh, Liesha...... or something. I need to ask you something."

"Oh, no."

I don't even have a bite.

"Do something about it, I need some advice"

"Oh, no."

There were no longer any islands to attach.

Leonard on his ass trying to say something. Reesha returns to her fixed position.

Kind of pathetic.

"Knock."

"Don't laugh! Ah, shit, anyone else! I need a little help!

A gaze gathers in Leonard, who summons all around him, and a mockery called Couscous flies.

I felt an unspeakable sense of accomplishment at Leonard, who kept asking for help while turning a bright red face.

"Can I help you?

It was unexpected of me to reach out there.

"Ah, Albes Retrude......!

Leonard distorts his face in amazement.

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

There's no way Leonard doesn't even know he's a knight in the king's capital.

"Oh, no, Mr. Albes, this is, uh..."

And vice versa.

There's no way anyone like Mr. Albes doesn't even know Leonard.

"What are you wolfing about, Rosie, not even like you? Stay in front of the customers and be decent."

Mr. Albes remained smiling, wondering if he was to blame for not reporting on the sneaky Leonard and even letting him play a sentence game.

And when I drop my gaze on the table, I move next to Leonard, nodding with a convincing face.

Excuse me, I'll show you.

That's what Mr. Albes said. He peered into Leonard's bills.

"Hmm, this is hard."

"... Oh, yeah, that's why I asked for advice. What do you normally do when you're like this?

Surprisingly, it was from Leonard who walked over.

Is it because it turns out that Mr. Albes did not come out to eliminate himself?

"Rosie, you will never get off this battle. Right?

"Yeah, sure."

You mean it would be unfair if I got off accordingly because I mentioned the hand tag?

Either way, you didn't want to come down on me, so there's no problem.

"You'll see. Mr. Leonard, there is no stone in these bills. You can rely on your instincts, jinx. can bet everything on the betting time hatch again. This time, Rosie's going to win, so the important thing is to make the hand a little stronger."

"Intuition, jinx..."

"Are you dissatisfied? In other words, there is an answer, but there is no formula to guide the solution. Naturally, it's difficult. So we have to choose."

We, I think, included the word.

Would it be advice as a person standing on top of people?

"I choose, I..."

"It's up to you later, you interrupted."

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

I'm here to see how it goes... it's a tranquil convenience.

By the time I realize Bay and Roy at the entrance are powerless in time, I wonder what's going on over there.

Leonard, by contrast, is a thought face.

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

"Okay, I've made up my mind"

Eventually you get the answer, Leonard says so and puts the water and dirt out of his hand one by one.

"Exchange, two cards"

I returned the card, shuffled it, and redistributed it to Leonard.

Let's start our last betting time.

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

"There is no choice between folds over this period. It's Cole."

There is no previous anger or impatience in the expression.

It wasn't just this game, it was like I decided to be ready to face a lot of things from the front.

I won't need any more help.

Come on, it's a showdown.

At some point the gallery I was looking at on the far roll stood surrounding our table.

Hand tags open as everyone on the spot sips and watches.

I have two pieces of soil and one piece of water, and Leonard two pieces of flame and one piece of wind.

Cheers up.

Two unfavourable roles, and another one unfavourable - that is, the result of a complete draw.

"... uh, what happens?

"It depends on the boost card. If it becomes a complete draw outside of the same hand tag, it wins better to have a card with the same attribute as the boost card. So..."

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

"It depends on this card."

Pull the card.

No squid this time, really pulled the top card.

Gather your gaze.

Even Risha, who never seemed interested in the game before, stared with a serious look.

"Open"

The cards...

"Whoa, whoa! Rosie wins. Ah!

Apparently, one of the drunks who escaped earlier was coming back.

The cheer cuts off and the finger whistle flies with applause from all over the place.

"That's why I'm sorry."

The card is water.

I win.

"You'll do it, too, you're just superior to having two roles from that note!

"No, I am!

The gallery crowds me and Leonard.

I see, is this what Guys was saying when crystals become boost cards thrive?

Well, it doesn't look like Leonard or Manganese, and I guess it's settled on something like this.

"... hey, I lost. I lost. Do you think we're going home quietly as promised?"

"Honestly, I feel like I served enough to get an extra fee, okay?"

"Oh, thank you for your help. Really. Today was worth more than a game"

"That's more than anything. So yes."

I stretched my right hand out to Leonard, who took his seat with a clear face, not to mention what I was about to leave.

"Shake hands? Um, okay."

As soon as my hand was about to be shaken, I lifted my hand.

"No, it's the price of the chip. 1,000 lithias for 10. 10,000 lithias"

Leonard pulls his face with a quiet gallery.

I heard Mr. Albes laugh from somewhere at the end of my first comedy.
