#430 - Belzeg's unique skills passed down from generation to generation
“惠惠, what exactly are you doing...?”
Seeing the pile of chips she dragged over, Zun Zun and Kazuma Sato were stunned.
Although they were all the smallest denomination chips, the accumulated amount was not small. They didn't know how she got them.
“Actually, I played the machine over there. I only put in one chip, and I don't know what happened, but it spat out so many. How about it? I'm amazing, right!?”
“That is…”
“Ah, that's right, that machine is—”
A machine that spits out money with three matching symbols, and you play it with small change.
This was set up by the casino for the rich to pass the time, and you don't need to master any rules or skills. As long as you have good luck, you can get generous rewards. Even so, Hui Hui's luck is not to be underestimated.
When Hui Hui dragged the money bag to Zun Zun's side, he smiled triumphantly at Kazuma Sato.
“I won this time.”
“Damn it!”
Unlike Hui Hui and Yoyo, who are good wives, Aqua and Darkness are purely burdens. The difference is too great!
However, the two decided to stop there today and go back.
50 million… no, 100 million Eris might make the casino a little distressed, but it won't close down and run away, not to mention that it is operated by the royal family. Therefore, Zun Zun and the others decided to cut the meat with a blunt knife, and they would always raise enough support money in a month.
The group returned to the hotel, laden with money.
Aqua pestered the triumphant Kazuma Sato to give her some pocket money. Darkness felt absurd and confused about this lottery method. Hui Hui coaxed Yoyo to go with her tomorrow.
Zun Zun went to Alice's room.
He knocked gently on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It's me, Zun Zun.”
“…Please come in.”
After a brief silence, he got permission to enter.
Opening the door, he saw Alice sitting on the bed, her clothes a little disheveled, but more than that, her face was not good, a little pale. The soft light of the setting sun shone on her, like a helpless little girl.
That's right.
Even if Alice is royalty, kind, considerate, and sensible, she is still a 12-year-old child.
Coming to a neighboring country alone, unable to get money by any means, and even this trip she didn't play any role. It must be a big blow.
Sitting next to her, he handed her a card.
“Here.”
“What is this…?”
“Part of the support money.”
“Huh???”
Under Alice's puzzled gaze, Zun Zun told her what happened today, including the plan he and Kazuma Sato had made.
“So, so amazing…!”
The girl looked at Zun Zun with respectful eyes, almost the same as Prince Levi's eyes, a little smug.
“So Alice, don't be so depressed. Just leave the money to us.”
“But…”
She pursed her lips, her emotions very low.
“I couldn't do anything, it's really too embarrassing.”
“Alice…”
“I could hardly do anything during the negotiations, most of them were left to Zun Zun and my brother. I was also rejected for asking for additional support money, and I even locked myself in the room and was depressed. I obviously didn't do anything…”
“It's okay.”
He gently put his arms around the self-blaming girl, stroked her soft golden hair, and comforted her heart with a gentle voice.
“Alice, you have worked very hard, you have done well enough, it's just that the other party is being unreasonable. Moreover, when you have difficulties, you must rely on reliable partners. I am your strong backing.”
“…Yeah.”
The girl's brows relaxed, and she regained her smile.
As the martial arts princess Alice, she is already qualified in terms of martial arts… no, it should be said that she is overqualified, but she is obviously not up to par in terms of human relationships and hypocrisy, but these shortcomings can be made up for by them.
“Speaking of which, if you can't get the money, what is Alice going to do?”
“Then… I can only use the stunt passed down from generation to generation by Belzerg.”
“What is it?”
“Attack the royal city, show force, help eliminate harm, and get rewards.”
“…As expected of a martial arts faction, but forget it.”
If it really turns into that kind of development, Zun Zun would instead sympathize with that prince.
When Alice came out of her loss, she first apologized to everyone, apologizing for her loss due to being hit, and also thanking them for raising support money in this way.
After everyone said that Alice didn't need to apologize, they began to discuss the next money-raising plan.
Every day after that, Zun Zun and Kazuma Sato would wreak havoc in the casino, and the two never played games that could be cheated, purely competing for luck here.
Under Hui Hui's bewitchment, Alice also ran to play the pocket money machine. Unexpectedly, the money she earned almost surpassed Zun Zun and Kazuma Sato.
I forgot.
The princess's luck is also very heaven-defying.
They originally wanted to cut the meat with a blunt knife, but they couldn't stand the three big money-makers, and finally—
“This guest! Please, please, please be merciful. If you continue to gamble…!”
A man who looked like a manager rushed over with a pale face.
He had been observing Zun Zun and the others for several days, and today he seemed to finally couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade them to stop.
However, Zun Zun slowly took out Darkness's necklace from his arms and swayed it left and right in front of him, and the manager's head also swayed left and right.
“Do you know what this is?”
“Yes, yes… the crest of the Dustiness family, a great noble family from a neighboring country!?”
Upon recognizing it, the manager's face turned even paler.
At the same time, from the other side came Kazuma Satou's arrogant voice. He was even excessively tossing Claire's family crest necklace up and down, causing another pale-faced person to nod along.
Yunyun grabbed the necklace and thrust her fist in front of him, scaring him into taking a step back.
“That's right, I'm from a great noble family in a neighboring country. You should understand what this means, right? If you don't allow me to continue playing, I guarantee it will escalate into a diplomatic issue. When the royal family blames you…”
“Ugh!”
The manager gritted his teeth for a moment, then glared resentfully at Yunyun and turned to leave.
The same thing happened on the other side.
But then—
“Hey, you! Open your dog eyes! The one in front of you is the first princess of the neighboring country—Princess Iris! How dare you come and spoil the fun? Be careful, or I'll use Explosion magic to flatten this place! Now get lost, you hear!?”
“Ah, yes, yes! I'm terribly sorry! This humble one's eyes failed to recognize Mount Tai! Terribly sorry!”

“Wait a moment, this machine is out of tokens. Come and refill it.”
“Coming right up! Coming right up!”
Hmm, it seems like they're having fun over there too.
In any case, today is another day of overflowing profits.
—That evening.
“Kazuma-san, Kazuma-san, I think you were especially cool today. Um, actually, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time…”
“No matter what you say, I won't give you any allowance. Also, starting tomorrow, you're not allowed to hang around me. Today, I didn't even win against Iris!”
Kazuma Satou had incredible luck, but Aqua's luck was even more incredible.
If it weren't for that idiot goddess always interfering, he might have earned even more money.
“But it's about time, isn't it…”
“What?”
“The people coming to rob us… Oh, speak of the devil, and they appear. They really came.”
“They really came!”
Iris looked at Yunyun with an admiring gaze.
No, no, there's nothing to admire. It's more like this is the norm, right?
Even though they always say gambling dens aren't afraid of people winning money, they're afraid of no one coming, there's a limit to that! People like Yunyun and the others come every day to win money. Even if it's run by the royal family, they'll have a hard time, okay?
“Hey, would you do us the honor of coming with us for a bit?”
“Even the lines are known!?”
Because it's a standard movie line.
Iris hasn't watched movies, so she's shocked that Yunyun can say their first line perfectly. But to Kazuma Satou, it's a common occurrence. In fact, saying that line makes them seem like small fries.
“So, does that mean they're really hired by the casino?”
“No, no! We heard you made a lot of money, and we came because of that! Just obediently hand over the money, or you'll regret it! Don't worry, we won't take your life…”
Iris admired them even more.
After all, from the beginning to now, the lines are perfect.
“This isn't the cup I wanted to sip from.” Yunyun covered her forehead and sighed: “Why are they saying such small-fry lines?”
“Because it's a standard routine.”
Kazuma Satou took out the binding cables he used for his Bind skill and said to Darkness and the others: “Alright, you guys, let's capture these guys and use that magic tool that rings when someone lies to interrogate them!”
“…Eh?”
“If the royal family or the casino is behind these guys, we can expose them and make a big deal out of it, and take the opportunity to extort support money!”
“Eh—!?” xN
Hearing Kazuma Satou say that, the masked men subconsciously took a step back.
They didn't expect to be targeted instead.
The masked men gradually retreated, whispering to each other.
“Hey, this doesn't seem good, does it? I feel like we've fallen into their trap.”
“That's right. Those people are Crimson Demons, and there are two with blonde hair and blue eyes, which means they're nobles! You know, many nobles are strong!”
“Damn it, we kicked an iron plate!”
Even though they're talking to themselves, Yunyun thinks they're just trying to put on a mesmerizing facade, while secretly wanting to escape.
Kazuma Satou suddenly charged forward.
“These guys are a treasure trove, don't let them run! No need to hold back, if anything happens, just use Aqua's resurrection magic!”
“Run quickly, this guy is too dangerous!”
“He wants to kill us, he really wants to kill us!”
“Don't get caught, run faster!”
“Wait for me, don't leave me behind!”
Perhaps they really were hired, the masked men scattered and fled.
“Kazuma…”
“Even so, bringing out resurrection magic is too much.”
“That's right, that's right, inhumane.”
Facing everyone's condemnation—
“That's not it, I was just scaring them, really! How would I dare to kill them… Believe me, I'm telling the truth! Yunyun, wasn't this your idea!?”
“I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.”
Abandoned by Yunyun, the isolated and helpless Kazuma Satou could only desperately explain.
