In my free time to dinner, I talked to him about what to do. Alice knows just the right place, so follow that guide to get to the bigger building.

"... this is where Alice recommends you? What are you doing?

"It's a lot. Well, let's just go in."

Is it a theatre or a concert? No, you don't have that vibe.

As I wondered what the hell the building was, I followed Alice inside and heard a very lively noise coming from all over.

"Uh, first of all, that's the clock card, that's the target... there's a lot of play here."

"Heh - that's very busy indeed"

I see, playground...... is it like this world version of the game center? Sure, that would be great for killing time, and it looks like a lot of games and a lot of fun.

"... Oh and by the way, 'Chips to use for games' can be exchanged over there - hehe!?

"Isn't that a casino!!

I tried pretty hard to get it in my favor, but it was an undisputed casino.

Really, he's gambling as soon as he's a little alarmed...

"Wait, Mr. Kite! There's a deep reason for this."

"... well, let me ask you something. After the sermon."

"... let's see, the sermon is definitive... oh, that's it. Dear Kate, I thought I'd tell you about one misconception… one more thing to hide."

"Yeah? Did you hide it?

I thought it would be an excuse anyway, but as far as Alice's words were concerned, there really seemed to be some reason.

When I see it, I erase my anger and ask Alice back.

"Well, look...... it's okay. Because I only use one copper coin."

"Oh, hey... Alice?

Alice went to the counter with a single coin, experiencing some heavy intimidation, feeling as though she was a battle fighter.

And an hour later...... in front of Alice, there were piles of chips piled up.

"Tsk, tsk..."

"Hehe, this is my natural strength!

Overshadowing his previous impressions, Alice had demonstrated ghostly strength in the casino.

Never won all fights, but he calmly identifies when attacking and pulling, adding more chips as interesting.

It was exactly what could even be described as overwhelming, and as much momentum as it would have been had it continued to be banned from exit.

Well, that's doya face as it is, I can't help it.

"Isn't it awful?!?

"Well then... Alice on Doya's face is cute too"

"Ha!? Oh, well, all of a sudden... ahhh..."

While I tease Alice a little bit about changing her face, I turn to the subject now.

"... Nevertheless, I had no idea there would be so many..."

"Hehe, did you see it? Perfect girl, Alice, for real!

"... Then why have you been..."

As far as watching at least the past hour or so, Alice had always been calm and identified the flow without getting hot.

It's an amateur feeling, but I feel like I could beat most of the battles if I were you.

That's why I was so far removed from Alice's previous appearance of weakness in gambling that I accidentally flashed.

"... Haha, this is what I've been hiding... in fact, I've been 'losing with the wax'"

"... why?

If I can show this strength, I can honestly believe the word that I've lost with the wax before, but I don't see why I would.

Well, if this is all you can win, it would be easy to lose with the wazza...

"Ahhh, actually. I've always been super good at gambling, almost unbeatable. So I lost my old self, and I lost it."

"... I wish I hadn't gambled."

"Yes, no - that's, I like gambling... stick around"

The secret Alice wanted to reveal to me seems to be that gambling was actually strong.

Well, I'm glad I found out one more thing about Alice... but why are you telling me that at this time?

Thinking of it that way, Alice makes a grin in her mouth, giving me half of the chips that are piled up and uttering words.

"... let's call it a revenge match. Mr. Kite, which makes more money, it's a battle!

"Shit, battle?

"Yes! If I win, I'll have a special dessert for a fancy dinner!

"... what if I win?

Revenge Match… I'm sure that refers to a previous battle at the Monster Racetrack.

In summary, they say, "I didn't mean it then, so it's another fight".

Well, there's plenty of time, and that's fine... something Alice has even added to the reward for when she wins.

Then all I care about is if I win. I know you're confident in Alice, but I'm not even zero chance of winning.

Then I thought I'd ask you about that before you take the battle.

"... uh... and... if Mr. Kate wins... that, when I get home... reward you..."

"Reward?

"Or, it's fun since we won!

"... Hmm, well, okay. Let's do it."

"Hehe, I taste different today than I taste different! Now taste the bitter juice of defeat!

The second battle between me and Alice opened as Alice flushed through the strangely clear.

Let's conclude...... 'I'm banned'.

Around the beginning of the battle with Alice and some time had passed, someone named her owner appeared and said "Please give me a break already" as she sat down and decided to end it after seeing Alice face to face.

No, I didn't think I was that twisted either, and I felt like I was stuck, and I decided to take this ban on exit with a sense of reflection and spoil it.

"... Gu... Ugh..."

"Yes, no, look, it was an interruption on the way..."

"... Mr. Kite, it's absolutely cheesy... why is Roulette's 'one point hit in a row'... there's no way you can win that..."

"Ah, no, you said you were lucky..."

As for the battle with Alice...... at the time of the interruption, I was winning about triple.

Because whether it was a Beginners Rack, or what I wagered without knowing it very well, hit one after another, and ended up winning it all without ever losing.

By the way, Alice had also multiplied a few times from the start stage, so she was never weak, just that I was weirdly too twitchy.

"... uuuu"

"No, so it was an interruption, and he said an invalid match would be fine..."

"No, you can't! Then my pride as a gambler will not tolerate it. So, properly, I'll reward you when I get home... of, so, oh, enjoy..."

"Ah, ah..."

Why such a bright red face, and with a domo? What the hell are you going to prepare for the reward?

Even if you ask, you won't tell me by saying "fun after you leave," and let's put that aside. Whatever it is, the time is running out, and it's time to start thinking about dinner.

Dear Mother, Father - Alice and I are going to be gambling again. And once again, I won the Beginners Rack, but Alice is looking kind of weird. What the hell - is that a reward?
