I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 439
◈ 439. [Side Story] Gamble Club (3)
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-
Small, delicate fingers shuffle the cards.
The girl in front of me, Scarlett, an N-rank hero, is Tazza..
Unlike gamblers at other gambling clubs, she does not use special abilities such as magic or skills in her skills..
pure workmanship.
It is said that she has always held cards in her hand since she was born in the circus..
A fake that deceives the opponent with every little glance or gesture. Finger skills trained to the limit, and overwhelming psychological warfare.
While other gamblers each fight with one cheat skill, he is a monster of monsters who fights alone using only pure skills..
Like this, in the game, the setting was only fun, and he was an unremarkable opponent. But now.
‘The worst enemy.’
I broke into a cold sweat as I watched her finish shuffling and handing out each person's card deck..
This lady doesn't cheat. If the victim is unaware, it is not a fraud. That's how clever she is in her skills..
In fact, you don't even need to use technology. Basic poker skills - I'll be blown away by just having a natural kick..
Since you don't use magic or skills, you can't upset the game by catching the fraud like the previous gamblers did..
However, if I play 1-on-1 poker quietly, my loss is as obvious as fire..
ruler.
So how will I defeat this girl??
“What are you thinking so deeply, Your Majesty??”
Scarlett smiled as she passed the cards..
“Please don't do that and focus on the game with me. Even though I look so young, there were many people where I lived whose lifelong wish was to play cards with me..”
“You were an idol?”
“Hehehe. There are endless embarrassing nicknames. The flower of the underground poker room, the mascot of the house... … Everyone thought I was really cute.”
Chak-
After handing out each person's card hand, Scarlett whispered softly..
“And then they all got eaten by me..”
“…….”
No longer showing off, she was showing off the fighting spirit of a competitive fighter..
I grinned as I picked up the card I got from her..
“Then where… … Let’s see if I can catch it too.?”
***
I was robbed.
“……No, you play too well.”
I mutter something absurd, but Scarlett just smiles and quietly shuffles the cards..
She's honestly crushing me in terms of skill, without using any tricks..
His comrades in front suffered the same, and he seems to have decided to try his hand at winning the game rather than using 'techniques' for no reason and risking being stepped on..
It was a very accurate judgment..
I had Damien observe this board in the next room..
So that if you see her winning by playing with her hands, you can knock her down immediately..
But Damian couldn't sense anything about her. In other words, she's playing poker like normal..
And yet, he is overwhelmingly defeating me..
“…….”
Before I knew it, there were 10 chips left in my hand. 90 were taken away.
Scarlett took a quick look at the chips piled up on her table and playfully took a bite. I laughed helplessly.
Poker in this world has rules similar to Texas Hold'em on Earth..
With two cards in your hand and five common cards, you compete by creating as strong a hand as possible with five out of a total of seven cards..
However, the five official cards are not revealed from the beginning..
Open three chapters at first. Afterwards, one additional card is revealed, and each time it is revealed, you choose whether to continue the game or give up and pass the stake to your opponent..
This is where your skills will be judged.
You should be able to look at your hand, calculate the odds, and give up the stake without hesitation if you think you are at a disadvantage..
So you can win the whole game.
In short, it is a ‘game that you have to lose well to win in the end.’.
I was inexperienced in this part. Even with a reasonable hand, he overused bluffing and was defeated by Scarlett, who made a sharp calculation..
As a result, there are only 10 chips left in hand..
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-
I asked her vaguely as she shuffled the cards with incredibly smooth movements..
“Why did you choose a life as a gambler??”
“It wasn't my choice..”
Scarlett answered indifferently as she finished shuffling..
“A commoner girl born into a circus had no choice. She had to act as a person to make a living, so she had to do anything..”
“…….”
“Luckily, the card chose me.”
You didn't choose the card, but the card chose you..
I asked her one more time as she said that..
“If you were given the chance to choose your life. I'll pick a card then too?”
“…….”
Scarlett paused for a moment and then,
“yes.”
I looked down at the card and answered like that..
“Okay, Miss Scarlett..”
I smiled faintly and waved my hand forward..
“From now on, I hope they give me a very good hand so that I can win unconditionally..”
“Hehe, even if I wanted to give it to you, would I be able to? Everything will be decided by your luck..”
But from that board.
Suddenly my cards started to stick together like crazy..
“diamond plush.”
“full house.”
“Ace four of a kind.”
Suddenly a ridiculous genealogical card was handed to me, and I snatched almost all of her chips in an instant..
The situation is reversed and I have 190 chips. 10 scarlet.
“……how?”
Scarlett looked at me with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe the situation..
“How did you do it now?……?”
“well.”
I grinned and held out the last card in front of me..
“I'm lucky today.”
10 of Spades, J, Q, K, A.
royal.
The strongest hand in poker. It’s okay to say that there is nothing to see in reality..
I threw my hand forward and pulled her last remaining chip in front of me. Scarlett is now opening her little mouth..
“……This can't be real.”
“no.”
As I stood up, I made a clear decision..
“Surely this is the reality you created.”
A little while ago I said to Scarlett.
- From now on, I hope they give me a very good hand so that I can win unconditionally..
While saying this, I used [Mystical Eye of Command].
Scarlett, who was under conditional mental control, showed off her skills as a hitter, thinning out the cards every time she shuffled them, giving me the strongest combination..
With the first card package you catch, create the desired combination and hand it to your opponent.?
This is a feat that is possible because he is a top-notch Tazza..
I used [Mystic Eyes of Command], believing that Scarlett's skills would be enough to do the job, and she faithfully lived up to my expectations..
“You are very capable, Scarlett..”
I tapped her shoulder as she was dumbfounded, still unable to understand the situation, and went outside..
“So it’s easy to use.”
Even if you find out the truth later, I hope you won't say it's mean..
Isn’t that what gambling is like anyway? The battle of how to deceive and how not to be deceived.
‘Certainly, Scarlett is very strong as Tazza..’
Other gamblers who use any number of tricks will easily be destroyed..
But in the end, she has no magical talent. In other words, there are no means to counter this magic..
No matter how good her gambling skills are, she is ultimately an N-rank hero. She may have made a name for herself and built a reputation just by playing with her hands at the gambling table.-
This is a battlefield.
Fighting in the face of real magic is, so to speak, a fight of a different genre. It was a daunting contest for her from the beginning..
‘But it can be very useful for other purposes..’
I came out of the guest room thinking and craned my neck..
“So, where is the last person??”
***
last round.
The location is the training hall. The opponent is an SR grade hero, Violet..
“…….”
Violet, who was sitting at a table in the gym with a nervous look on her face, jumped up when she saw me..
I sat in front of her with a leisurely movement..
Violet stammered with a pale face..
“my colleagues……?”
“Turned into chips.”
I spoke calmly and winked..
“Everyone looked at me too lightly. yes?”
“…….”
“Playing with your hands in front of the royal family. Didn’t everyone’s lives feel like a waste? Or was he just that confident in his skills??”
Violet bit her lip gently. I laughed out loud.
“So, Miss Violet. How are you going to compete with me? Your skills have already been destroyed by me..”
“Pfft…….”
“It's okay to run away instead of tail. Are you going to give up here? Do it if you want to fold. Then I'll spare your life.”
When I quipped, Violet gritted her teeth..
“right… … Do not be ridiculous.”
“hmm?”
“Don’t make me laugh, you prince! Can you come this far and fold?!”
Violet threw her fedora on the floor and spat out fiercely..
“Sigh! I too have been through all kinds of dirty back alleys! A gun was pointed at my head, and I was stabbed in the stomach! I made it this far by playing poker even though I was slacking on my sundae.!”
I'm finally hearing the real tone of voice..
All the formal speaking styles I had been using were so awkward that they didn't suit me..
When pushed into a real corner, Violet finally spoke in a real tone rather than a pretentious tone..
“It's a life-or-death situation anyway! If you don't make it here, you'll feel like a loser in the middle of winter.!”
He had a very cheap and sloppy way of speaking that did not go well with his purple hair that he dyed to look aristocratic..
“Despite being shot, stabbed, and all kinds of shitty things, I managed to survive this far! I fought against mafia bosses, arena champions, and serial killers, and crawled all the way to this point to survive.!”
I like it.
“Can't you call me a prince?-?!”
Keying!
Her purple eyes shined and she spread an illusion zone - [Violet Zone] over the entire area..
Smartly. Did you learn anything when you hung out with me yesterday?.
Sigh.-!
Her illusion area was expanded only to avoid where I was..
Her illusion area surrounded the entire manor house, and she was carefully controlling it so that it only touched the area where I moved..
“Hoo.”
I was really impressed..
“Well, it's pretty good. Violet.”
“……My magic doesn't work around you, but it works outside of it.!”
[[Indomitable Commander] has a skill effective radius..
It does not provide nullification of mental status abnormalities to allies outside the radius..
The manor house must be under Violet's illusions by now..
When the area was expanded to this extent, Violet gasped heavily as if it was too much for her strength..
“While I hold you captive, I use genjutsu to save my comrades... … Take out your gold too! I'm going to run outside.!”
“Yes, yes. I should have written it like this a long time ago.”
I nodded..
“Your skills are too precious to waste on gambling..”
“what……?”
“Above all, I know for sure. Violet.”
I briefly clicked my tongue and snapped my fingers. Just!
“You don't know when to fold, and you bet again with a hand you already lost. And even in this situation, he was trying to save his comrades.…….”
As soon as I snap my fingers,
peeing-
Powok!
A rubber bullet flew from the manor house and exploded on Violet's forehead..
It was Damien who shot..
Damian's [clairvoyance] cannot be fooled by illusions or the like. In preparation for an emergency, sniping with rubber bullets had been ordered in advance..
Violet fell to the floor without even being able to scream and fainted, and the illusion area disappeared as it was and was released..
I clicked my tongue as I looked down at Violet, who had collapsed with foam at the corner of her mouth..
“After all, you don’t suit a gambler..”
So, I'll put it to good use..
