Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 177 177

When Tenku and Kohana stepped into class 2-B, they were shocked and amazed when they saw the scene inside because it was the first time they had seen a casino other than on television.

The casino of class 2-B is slightly different from the usual as it combines the concepts of Las Vegas and Macau in one place. So Tenku can find games from the west as well as the east.

After entering the casino, Tenku looked around and found a counter not far from the entrance. He brings Kohana to that place because they must exchange their money for coins before playing in the casino. Tenku and Kohana each got a small bucket filled with ten coins after giving two thousand yen to the clerk at the counter. Then they walked around the casino and looked for games they could play.

Tenku saw many people in that place but he didn't recognize any of them. If talking about class 2-B, Hijiri Natsukawa should be one of the students in that class. But he couldn't come to school during the cultural festival due to important matters in the family and the Belial Alliance. So the person running the casino from behind the scenes is Hijiri's best friend, Keiko Nishizawa.

"So what do you want to play with, big brother!? Shall we bet on that machine!?" Kohana said in high spirits and pointed at one of the slot machines in that place.

Tenku noticed that most of the games in that casino were card games that used students as dealers and had very few gaming machines. This is reasonable because the number of funds from students used to make the program is limited.

"Hmm..." Tenku was confused as this was his first time visiting a casino. The place looked like a real casino even though students made it. He was only familiar with blackjack and poker because he often played them on his smartphone.

Tenku requires luck, skill, and tactics to win at blackjack and poker. He was not good at gambling and would lose playing that games. In other words, Tenku and Kohana would just be wasting their coins for nothing. Besides, he wanted to play a simple game he could play together with the little girl.

"How about we play that game?" Tenku pointed at one of the games in the casino. Kohana's eyes followed that direction and found a student rolling three dice in a small box.

"What is that game?" Kohana tilted her head cutely.

"If I remember correctly, the game is called Sic Bo. I've seen it in one of the movies on television. It is a game using three dice. The student will act as a dealer and roll three dice in a small box. After that, we will bet on the number of combinations on the three dice. you don't need to think about anything else; just choose big or small." Tenku explained and stroked Kohana's head gently.

Tenku chose Sic bo because the dice game was easy to understand, and he could play it with Kohana. Moreover, he felt he could use his spiritual power in the game. Tenku came to the place to have fun with Kohana. But it doesn't hurt that he also made a profit at the casino. It is the same as killing two birds with one stone.

"I understand! Then, what are you waiting for, big brother!? Let's play in that game!" Kohana dragged Tenku's hand towards the dice game spot.

"Place your bets!" The dealer shouted after he rolled the three dice.

Tenku's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the table. The small box covering the dice became transparent, and he could see the combinations that appeared.

"Small!" Tenku put all his coins in a small column on the table. Since the table was relatively high, he carried Kohana in his arms so she could place her bets easily. The little girl smiled broadly because she was happy, but her face became serious as she looked up at the table.

"In that case, I will also choose the same bet as Big Brother!" Kohana confidently placed all her coins in the small column and trusted Tenku's choice.

"I bet on Big! You can open it now!" a student puts five coins in the big column and says confidently. After the dealer saw no one else was betting, he opened the box.

"Big!"

"Small!"

"Big!"

The students and visitors shouted and hoped that the combination that appeared matched their bets. When the box is opened, the numbers on the dice are three, three, and one. It means small.

"Small!" The dealer announced the combination on the dice, and most students were disappointed because they lost the bet.

"Yay! We won! We won!" Kohana screamed with joy when she saw her coins double.

"Yes, but this is only the beginning. We'll win the next bet." Tenku whispered. Kohana looked at him, and both smiled slyly. After the dealer rolled the dice again, Kohana and Tenku placed their bets on the small column again.

"Two, Two, Four... Small!" The dealer announced the combination on the dice.

Kohana smiled brightly as she and Tenku bet all their coins on the small column. She has blind faith in him. If Tenku says that they will win, then they will win.

The longer the game lasts, the more people crowd the place. Tenku and Kohana kept winning the game in succession, and the buckets in their hands were filled with coins. The dealer's face turned ugly, and the people around him became confused.

They would think it was luck if Tenku and Kohana only won once or twice in that game. But the two won nine times in a row, taking their breath away.

The gamblers at the casino didn't know how the two people could keep on correctly guessing the combination of the dice in the box. Some thought Tenku was cheating, but the dealer denied that.

All the dealers in the casino had devices that could detect fluctuations in genesis power, but it didn't react when Tenku came to the table until now. He was sure the tool was working properly because it had been tested before.

In addition, Tenku is quite famous in Suisei High School as the weakest freshman, and all students know about his low-ranking Phantasmal Object. In other words, Tenku didn't cheat. It made the dealers and gamblers curious about how Tenku knew the dice combinations.

When Tenku and Kohana did a high five and smiled broadly after winning their tenth bet, they heard footsteps approaching them. They turned around and were surprised when they saw the appearance of Setsuka and the others in the casino.

"Hmm... What are you doing here, senior Fusyushima?" Tenku asked.

"I accompanied Miss Kirika to this place because she was curious about the casino made by the students in class 2-B." Setsuka replied and glanced at Kirika next to her.

"Ah, yes. She's right. I'm curious about the casino at this school. Because of that, I visited and wanted to play all the games here. I didn't expect the students at Suisei High School could build such a good casino." Kirika responded to Setsuka's words reflexively. She was slightly surprised that the girl suddenly brought her name into her sentence.

Even though Kirika had never been to the casino in person, she could confidently say that the decorations were excellent and resembled the real ones she had seen in the movies.

"Then have fun in the casino." Tenku said to Kirika and silently bowed his head to Setsuka. Kohana proudly showed her older sister the bucket full of coins in her hand. Setsuka smiled warmly when she saw her expression and the intimacy between the two.

She wanted to spend time with them at a cultural festival like they visited Lake Motosu. Unfortunately, Setsuka has to maintain her image as the daughter of Fuyushima Temple and the student council president. She pouted because she felt jealous of Kohana.

Kirika was annoyed that Tenku ignored her again and again. This was the first time she had met a guy who liked her songs but wasn't interested in her looks. Even though Kirika was happy because it was a new experience for her, it also made her lose her confidence as a woman and an idol.

After that, Kirika and the others exchanged their money for coins and played around the place. Setsuka and Kirika felt confused at the start since it was their first time coming to the casino. But after playing for a while, they get used to it.

The two girls chose games familiar to them, such as blackjack, poker, and slot machines. But the real reason they played all three games was that the spot was close to Tenku. Kirika keeps looking for opportunities to approach Tenku and play at the same table while Setsuka is ready to stop her.

On the other hand, the dealer at the Sic bo table broke out in a cold sweat because Tenku and Kohana had won twenty times in a row, and the four buckets in their hands were filled with coins. The dealer wanted to ask Tenku to stop betting on his spot and suggest he gamble in another game, but he couldn't say it in front of many people.

"Yay! We won again, big brother!" Kohana screamed cutely after they won the game again. She grinned when she saw her two buckets filled with coins.

"Okay. Let's find another game. Aren't you bored here already?" Tenku didn't want to win anymore at the dice game because the people around him would grow suspicious of him. On top of that, he felt uneasy because Kirika kept watching him.

"Yes, big brother! I'm already hungry too." Kohana responded to his words.

"Then, we'll go to the snack booth on the school grounds, and you can use all your winnings to buy whatever you want. But before that, we'll take a little walk around this casino." Tenku smiled, and Kohana nodded after hearing that. Afterward, they left the place with two buckets full of coins. The dealer sighed with relief after Tenku had disappeared from his spot.

Kirika raised her eyebrows when she saw Tenku leave that place. Then she followed him secretly while pretending to be playing at the game. Setsuka was not far from her and wouldn't let that girl get close to Tenku.

But then Kirika was surprised because Tenku and Kohana suddenly disappeared after her view was briefly blocked by a student passing in front of her.

"Huh! Why did he suddenly disappear!? Where did he go!?" Kirika looked around the casino but couldn't find Tenku and Kohana anywhere. She was angry because Tenku managed to escape from her. In contrast, Setsuka was happy she no longer needed to follow Kirika.

"Then, it's time to return to the maid cafe." Setsuka smiled slightly and walked towards Kaede.
