Trying her best to sound like the kind of trustworthy, more experienced operator the others could count on, she said, “What’s the matter? Didn’t that last customer tell you to follow him?”

“Yeah, he did, but…”

“He was just a young guy. Did you fight?”

“He was just relaxing out back. Forget him! Hmph!” The cleric of the Supreme God folded her arms, her voice turning sharp in an attempt to hide her embarrassment.

Pretty sure it was a three-person party, the elf thought, flipping the pages of her mental notebook. A warrior, a cleric, and a harefolk girl who was presumably a scout or a ranger. Security at the casino. A party of adventurers from the frontier, hired on a temporary basis.

Get someone local, and there was a good chance they would be a customer themselves. Wouldn’t want them giving any breaks to any of the other players. So it wasn’t unusual to occasionally look for security staff from outside Adventurers Guilds.

Anyway, that’s what I hear.

From that perspective, she was something of an irregular herself. The red-haired elf smiled. “What, then? Did he try to pull anything? You could have called one of the enforcers…”

“He was a friend of mine…”

“…Oh.” That was the one answer that could bring her up short.

I mean, I guess I understand how she’s feeling…

The elf was the same way; if that man had shown up here as a customer, not knowing she was around, she wasn’t sure how she would have reacted to him. It didn’t even have to be him. If any of her other friends—the cleric of the God of Knowledge or that white creature—had shown up, she would have been frozen in place. Thankfully (she thought), they were each handling their own thing right now, so there was no chance they would stumble on her.

“It’s just a job. Not like you’re doing anything wrong. And I guess I’d be happy to meet an older girl I knew here,” the harefolk girl said.

“I guess… It’s true that ensuring fairness in gambling is one of the duties of the Supreme God.” But this, the cleric averred, was entirely different from the outfit worn during the offertory at the harvest festival.

“Huh, that right?” the harefolk girl said, her ears bobbing merrily. “Well anyway, I’m hungry!”

“You padfoots seem to have it rough that way.”

The red-haired elf muttered a self-motivating “okay!” and then stood up from the mirror. “You can have the baked treats here in the greenroom. I’ll go out there for you.”

“Hooray! Thanks a bunch!”

“I’m sorry, Senior. Thank you very much…!”

It was all right. It was fine. The senior (it stung a little to be called that) waved the girl’s apologies away and exited the dressing room. Gotta get out there eventually anyway, she thought, but she refrained from saying as much to the other girls.

In any event, bedecked in her harefolk outfit (why did they dress that way around here?), she prepared to take that first step out into the casino.

The instant she got on the floor, she could feel the collective gaze of everyone in the casino slam into her.
