She ended up taking me to one of the city’s casinos.

“...I figured as much.”

“There ain’t nothin’ in the world more fun than gambling. No other hobby out there gives ya that massive rush you feel when you hit the jackpot!” She had that addict’s twinkle in her eye. “All right, now which game to play first—hm?”

As we had been wandering around the casino, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted.

What the—?

Turning to look, I saw a large group of spectators gathered around a single table. They were all staring at a rather suave-looking man wearing a feathered cap. He was carrying a number of cards fanned out in his hand, and wore a rather fake-looking smug grin.

“What are they doing?”

“That’s a poker table,” Spinoza explained.

“Poker, huh... I’ve heard of it before. You’re supposed to take five cards and make combinations out of them, right?”

“Oh, you’ve heard of it, huh?”

“In my adventuring days, some of the other adventurers used to play it at the pub all the time. Sometimes I see some of the guards playing in the cafeteria at night, too.” Occasionally they had even offered to let me play as well—but I didn’t know the rules, so I couldn’t join them.

“What’s the deal with that one player?” I asked Spinoza. “Seems like he’s attracted a crowd.”

“They call that guy ‘Feather’—everybody at the casino knows about him. Supposedly he’s never lost a game of poker in his life.”

“That’s pretty amazing. Is he really that lucky?”

“Luck might have somethin’ to do with it, too—but the thing that decides a game of poker more than anything else is reading your opponent. Apparently he knows what cards you’re holdin’ just by lookin’ at your face.”

“Huh.”

“Why don’t the two of you try your luck as well?”

Looking at us from his seat, it was none other than Feather himself who made the offer to us—he must have heard our conversation. He pushed up the brim of his feathered hat, revealing his handsome face. “If you manage to win against me, you can have every last one of my chips.”

“Whoa! Look at that, Sieg! He’s got a whole mountain of ‘em! That’s gotta be like a million or so, right...?!”

There was a massive pile of chips stacked up next to Feather; they towered so high, I pretty much had to tilt my head back to see the top.

“There’s no way we could match a bet of that size, though,” I said. Guards didn’t get paid much, after all—if there was one thing I could be fully confident of, it was our relative poverty.

That... actually feels kind of depressing to say.

“Oh, that’s fine. The two of you can just offer up however many chips you happen to have on hand.”

“For real?! So that means I’d still get a million if I beat you, even though I only have thirty thousand on me right now?!”

“It sure does.”

“Aw yeah! You’re on, buddy!” Spinoza declared boldly, lured in by the bait of a million chips.

“Are you sure about this...?” I asked her.
