Cassius and the Demon Kings First Gambling

The uncle at the reception told me about this gambling place called Arch Qi, which is a nice place that has recently become popular.

So nervous

Since I had no experience in gambling at all, I felt that my steps were very heavy.

But if I could multiply it like this, Id be able to keep Celestia and the others salaries for a few months, including my own.

Im a demon king.

I do not know the word fear. Even a crisis will be turned into an opportunity for me!

Having made up my mind, I walked towards the building, which was completely different from the one on Earth and at first glance looked like a large western-style building.

I did not pay attention to the sight of the very strong-looking doorman standing at the door, nor did I glance at the courtyard with many carriages parked, just blindly walking on the road in the middle

I walked towards building, which was glowing for a moment in the darkness of the night.

Then

Ooh. The shop is quite clean. The tables, the quality of the staff and the customers are all quite to my liking

Inside the shop, which was filled with calm tones and a high class feel, Prince Cassius was standing there while looking around.

And our eyes met each other exactly.

..I see.

I thought of the way I could get the highest chance of winning on my first attempt.

This man, acting so blatantly, must be a regular gambler. If I imitate him, then at least I wont lose.

I could not help but smile at the thought of my overly brilliant game plan.

Fufu!!

Hmm!?

The moment he saw me, he was startled, and then his face was filled with anger. He walked through the tables with all kinds of games going on and headed deeper ..

I, too, scrambled to get ready as quickly as possible.

dont you have to exchange it for tokens or something?

It looked like they were gambling directly with cash.

There arent a lot of games either, mainly based on guessing the points of cards and rolls like dice.

Damn

I cant go on like this, I need to keep up with Prince Cassius.

On the first floor of the [Arch Qi], there was a managers room deep in the hallway reserved for employees.

From the middle of that room came the somewhat pleasant thump, thump of a tiny sound.

A somewhat gruff man, without hesitation, knocked at the door of that room.

Oh, come in.

After the knock, the heavy sound echoed as if it were about to shake the single door.

It wasnt very loud, but the man naturally straightened his spine at the sound of the low voice.

Excuse me. Gerald Aniki, the Prince of Kujaro is here.

What did you say?

In front of the mans eyes, a man in his late thirties, thickly muscled in armor, was relaxed.

The man had his feet up on the table in the centre and was throwing a flying knife at a target hanging on the wall.

His face and body were heavily scarred, his long green hair was tangled behind him, and he had an incredibly mature beauty brewing around him while creating a dangerous atmosphere.

Okay, then lets follow the scheduled steps to enforce it.

Understood

He caressed the wound on his face and drank the rest of the red wine he had poured into his glass.

The bottles on the table were already all empty.

Ill get it right away.

Sorry about that.

With that, he narrowed his eyes and watched as the Young Brother who had gone to get the wine left.

What a monster.

He began to think about Celestias instructions that had come through Mary.

Even Gerald was surprised to encounter instructions that could see the actions of others to such an extent.

He shot his flying knife at the target with force, causing it to jab away.

Like the knife, Cassius sight at the moment looked terrifying as if it had been viciously sharpened.

One more and the game can begin.

The operator said across the table to the three people sitting there, including Cassius.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

The other two were wealthy men dressed in the finest quality clothing comparable to that of Cassius, who was a prince, and both were regulars here.

- Hmph!!!

The rich mans bodyguard used a special hammer to crack open the hard shell covered nut.

The Gurumi nut is very tasty, but its really hard to eat because of its hardness.

As you said, it would not have been so easy to get without a strong guard like us, who are known for our strength.

Eating the nut handed to them by the guards, the rich men waited contentedly for the game to begin.

So, this is the Gurumi nut?

Cassius, who was also waiting for the game to begin, also looked at the free supply of nuts that were placed on the plate in front of him.

Since the number of plates was exactly the same as the chairs, the one in front of him must be for himself.

I havent eaten of this stuff, but Kelly.

Haa!!!

Kelly took one out of Cassius plate and held it in both hands, crushing the shell of the nut with strength in a flash.

Eh!?

This, what power is this

Is this really something that a human being can do?

The rich man and the guards looked back and forth with astonishment at the nut and Kelly who had cracked it without using tools.

Its just this level and they was so surprised

Cassius, who looked bored, gave Kelly an order.

I dont think I should have to say more but keep an eye on him.

Three men have been sent.

Humph, good job. Thats one of the reasons why I keep you by my side.

Its a great honor but its not clear what kind of reason that person has for approaching Cassius-sama. Just in case, please also pay more attention.

The nut shells were placed on a separate plate while Kelly warned Cassius.

Its ridiculous.

I didnt expect to see someone better than Jick. I dont know what the purpose is, though..

At that moment, the last seat was filled.

The one who appeared in front of Kelly and Cassius was the teenager whose face was covered with a hat and mask.

He placed the bag with the gold coins on the table and waited leisurely for the game to begin.

Lets rob it all.

Ha!

As if to say that he only wanted to make the game more enjoyable now, a smile appeared on Cassiuss face.

Gambling and such is ultimately a matter of probability. I cant believe Im wasting my hard-earned reward. If I hadnt come here, I would have been able to live a good live for a long time. (Chrono)

The circle around the proprietor was filled to capacity, and after confirming everyones bets, the game began.

All the guests are here. So, let the game begin.

The game at this table was a simple rat race in a ring behind the manager, in which the first place was guessed from among four rats.

The game is popular among the rich and famous because it is a game with a big payoff if you win, depending on the multiplier decided by the operator.

First I will pick Aigachu.

Hmm, Ill go for Joanie then.

Without hesitation, the two tycoons staked out the pile of gold coins on the table and confidently bet on the rat in front of them.

This one is called Moumchu isnt it? Lets bet on this one first.

Cassius was just as early as the others and had put up a large sum of money.

Cant you see the state of the rats, these guys. So these guys are really not smart enough to win this game. (Chrono)

Cassius looked at the mouse Moumchu who was throwing his head around like a rock star, as if he was bored.

Ill go with Moumchu too. (Chrono)

Seeing the boy say that while plugging in the same amount, Cassius eyebrows twitched slightly in response.

He looked at the boy with a somewhat surprised expression, but the boy himself looked very calm.

Then, the game begins.

At the operators signal, the first match for the rats kicked off.

What, whats going on

In front of the sight of the dumbfounded Cassius was the figure of the rat Moumchu who continued to toss his head like a rock singer even when all the other rats had already run to the finish line.

Needless to say, the money was collected.

Oh, hahaha, I didnt expect that there would be such a big gap.

Its Joanie this time. Congratulations.

The winner was allocated the gold coins.

Tch

In contrast to the boy who sat there quietly as if nothing had happened, it was Cassius side that was further ignited with anger.

(Nah, its okay, its only the first time still have plenty left on hand. All it would take was one shot of reversal. If I win, I can get it back. He will do it for me, for sure )

But

In the second game, again, the rat chosen by Cassius and the boy did not advance and one of the tycoons won big.

It was close

Hahahaha, oops that was dangerous

clack, grunt, crunch

An unusual sound rang out.

The eyes of the tycoons and Cassius rightfully looked that way.

Then their eyes widened.

Crunch, crunch, crunch

The boy put the gurumi nut into the mouth under the mask and ate it along with the shell.

The nut of the gurumi, which looked like it was encased in rock

I lost again ah, I better snack first anyway, its the first time Ive eaten this nut but its really delicious especially the shell part.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!!

One by one, the boy took the nut into his mouth, which was hidden under his mask, and bit into it.

Then, Im looking forward to the next game. (Chrono)

Eh, ah, okay.

Contrast with the surrounding response, he seemed to decide to concentrate on the game, pretending not to see the abnormality in front of him.

The guards behind them watched as the boy in front of them tasted the nut as if he was biting into a rock, and their greatly opened mouths became completely closed.

Its getting unpleasant, isnt it?

At this point, Cassius was already silent and speechless.

The third game, after which Cassius also suffered successive defeats, and the teenager who had taken the same action as he had, did have less money in hand.

Apparently imitating others to bet would definitely lose and (Chrono)

Fufu.

Hm?

The boy who had suffered the same successive defeats as him was still smiling through his mask.

The plate in front of him was devoid of any nut, and even the shells were gone.

Do you want to say that this level of loss is nothing! Or are you saying that Im not good enough!? (Cassius)

Ill bet the rest of my money on Sankechu. (Cassius)

Ooh!

Is it time to let go of the money and decide on the winner?

Cassius plugged in the rest of his huge sum of money then, as before

So do I.

Desperately trying to hold back the churning sensation in his stomach, Cassius simply stared intently at the boy while he waited for the outcome.

The corners of the boys mouth beneath his mask rose slightly as well, returning the same look straight back at him.

I can feel the eagerness. If we lose, well suffer the same. Im not going to put the blame on this guy. Im not going to blame him for it, but Im going to have to go through with it. Until the end, Ill just have to trust him. ! Please, Prince Cassius

Youre the first person to have gotten me to this point. !

- Then, the final match begins.

The next morning, the figure of Cassius appeared on the top floor of the high class inn.

From the open door and window, the sunrise entered the room along with a cool breeze blowing through the room, and Cassius long, flowing hair was slightly blown up.

Im really sorry.

,

The bathrobe-clad Cassius sat on the bench and looked coldly at Kelly, who had bowed his head deeply before him.

The kid got lost, didnt he.

Yes.

He took a graceful sip of his cup of black tea, then exhaled gently with the feeling of anxiety he tried to keep himself calm, and continued.

phew well never mind. But, when you get back, you and your men will have to work out together again. Is that clear?

Un, understand!

Kellys mind conjured up a worst-case scenario, but it seemed like they could still be useful.

For starters

With a cold look at the two women lying bored on the bed, Cassius gave his cruel instructions.

That was the end Kelly feared most.

Im tired of playing with those and Im going to use them in my experiments when I get back home so lock them up for now.

Eh ?

No, dont!!!

The two women rushed to escape.

Take away them now.

No, no, no, no!

No! Stop it!

At Kellys command, the two women were quickly led out of the room.

Thats a wicked thing to do.

Hmm? Ah, if it isnt Archbishop Amandas dog.

In front of Cassios eyes, at some point, there had appeared the figure of the Envoy of the Angel Cult, Bishop Yang, who had come to visit as a subordinate of Archbishop Amanda.

Being called a dog, he could not help the veins that sprang up on his temples.

youre just a prince of a small country, so dont be arrogant.

Did it make you feel uncomfortable? Im really sorry. But youre just a messenger, arent you? Im afraid youll be scolded if you act in such a rash manner.

Cassius, who at first glance seemed to be in a good mood, provoked the other man again.

hahahaha.

?

The bishop, who was red in the face and clenched his teeth, suddenly smiled.

It seems that you are full of irritation, Prince. Dumped by the princess, set upon by the mercenaries, and then losing your hand in the casino - huh!?

Bishop Yangs body floated up.

so noisy you.

Gaah!?

Cassius, who had been sitting in the chair until just then, suddenly grabbed Bishop Yang and lifted him up by the throat.

Gahhhhhhhhhhh!

A pair of wings called Gospel like Bishop Lionels grew on his back as he struggled in pain.

So, this is called Gospel?

What magic is this

The men naturally prepared themselves and desperately endured Yangs magic power.

Then Yan, in turn, used an unnatural wrist force to try to escape from Cassius grasp

Cough-cough, why.

Bishop Yang was clearly Lionel-like in all aspects of strength, but Cassiuss arm remained motionless.

What is it, a bishop is just a bishop after all and it is no more than that. Did I expect too much from the Angel Cult?

You b*stard!

Hearing the insult to his entire religion, Jan used all his strength to fight against Cassius.

Cassius was silent as he watched the agitated Yang, who was fluttering his arms and legs.

He lost interest in Yang, who had tried his best to make himself serious, and threw him to the ground like a piece of rubbish.

Gah! Cough, cough

Why, why should his magic power be less than one-thirtieth of mine? Why is there such a big difference

Passing by Yang, who was still in pain, Cassius regained his chair.

Crossing his legs, he looked over the side with a very obvious look down to Yang and struck up a conversation.

Tell Archbishop Amanda that even though our interest are the same, this level of assistance would be tantamount to nothing.

He pondered for a moment then continued.

I hate this country, and I have to sever ties anyway. so why not just destroy it?
