“How about it, isn’t this plan absolutely genius~?”
The bunny girl priestess quietly curled her lips into a smile, then raised her brows at the elf lady in front of her.
She clearly felt quite proud of herself for coming up with this idea.
The only problem was, did her own approval really count for anything? Somehow, she had her doubts.
…The last time she’d come up with the idea to provoke Keti using a new teammate, she’d been just as pleased with herself.
And at that time, Layla hadn’t voiced any objections to her plan either.
With both of them agreeing it was a safe bet, it had still ended up being a complete disaster.
So…
Was it really reliable?
Sylvia couldn’t help but think it over again. Ahem… She really wasn’t feeling confident.
But, this time, no matter how she thought about it, Sylvia didn’t see anything wrong. Layla’s reasoning made sense.
After all, Lynn was their Romantic Rival, right? Since he was their Romantic Rival, then… their goal should absolutely be to lower Keti’s favorability toward Lynn as much as possible!
Hiss—
Although it always felt a bit strange to be romantic rivals with a man—after all, romantic rivals were usually the same gender—but there was no helping it. It wasn’t her fault her Keti’s gender had changed…
Even the elf lady hadn’t expected she’d live to see a day like this, but there was no use complaining. By all rights, the two of them should have a big advantage over Lynn, but—
Who told that man to be so skilled at bullying her Keti! Ugh.
The situation had become quite dire, so it was time for special measures. Besides, this wasn’t malicious, was it? That man really had brought some strange girl to the Casino, this sort of shady place!
Plus—
The green-haired elf turned her head again, staring coldly at the space between Lynn and the pink-haired girl by his side. It was obvious that girl was here for the first time.
Because… how to put it? Her movements right now were almost identical to when Sylvia herself had first come in—nervous, awkward… and whenever she got anxious, she unconsciously drifted closer to Lynn…
Uh…
This, this was already way past normal social distance!
If two people weren’t close, there’s no way they’d act like this. So—
This girl’s relationship with Mr. Lynn was definitely not ordinary!
At that moment, the eyepatch-wearing elf girl’s imagination went wild: a playboy flirting everywhere, her Keti cluelessly getting played, only to be tossed aside once Lynn got bored, never able to regain her old boyish spirit!
Hiss—
Scumbag!
No, she absolutely couldn’t let this scumbag keep getting close to her Keti!
Making up her mind, Sylvia took a deep breath and let out a cold laugh.
Even though letting Keti learn the truth might be cruel, there was no choice—the facts were right there.
She couldn’t lie to Keti, could she?
But…
“Is it really necessary?” Sylvia suddenly frowned, thinking back on everything.
Without warning, she said, “Can’t we just do what we did before, and take a few pictures? If we have those, and show them to Keti, I think that should be enough…”
“Ah… Well…”
Layla waved her hand, then grinned mischievously.
“I just think seeing it with her own eyes might work better. The impact will be stronger, right?! What’s wrong… Is there a problem? Hmm… Why don’t I handle the two of them, and you go fetch Keti from the Magic Academy now?”
Layla thought Sylvia was just worried about running out of time, but… in reality, the elf lady’s biggest concern was whether Keti would be too devastated.
Whew… But she had a point. If the shock wasn’t big enough, what if Keti, caught up in romance, deceived herself and didn’t believe the photos, forgiving Lynn on the spot?
Besides, last time, when they tried taking pictures in the mall—such a hidden spot, and they still got caught.
This time… she felt like sneaking photos wouldn’t be very safe either.
That settled it then. Anyway… it wasn’t like she was framing Lynn. The guy really was a scumbag—it was obvious now!
“It’s fine, I can go later. Anyway… I’ve already set up a Transfer Point at the Magic Academy in secret. I can bring Keti over anytime—it’ll only take a moment.”
The elf lady answered calmly, but her words shocked Layla. Good…goodness, what did this little elf say?
“Wow… Wait, seriously? It’s outside the school, right? You set up a Transfer Point in the Magic Academy? How…how did you manage that? I heard the place is heavily protected, and it’s almost impossible for outsiders to set up that kind of magic in there…”
“Don’t worry about it. I have my ways.”
Sylvia turned her head aside, clearly not wanting to explain more. Layla nodded thoughtfully. Ahem… But what she really wanted was, “Afterward, can you let me use that Transfer Point too, big sis? Hehehe…”
“Let’s focus on what’s in front of us first. Those two… are already looking for a place to sit.”
“Ah! Right, right! So… let’s do this together! We’ll get them both into a private room, and then call Keti over!”
***
After repeating her plan, the purple-haired, jellyfish-bobbed big sister dashed straight for Keti and Lynn!
“So…just what exactly did you bring me here for, gu… hiss… Wait, I think I get it now! The way to make five hundred thousand in one night, ca…no, you aren’t seriously planning to win it gambling, are you?!”
Still trembling with nerves, Miss Keti’s eyes went black at the thought. No way… was that really something a normal person would think up?
Yes, theoretically, it was the fastest way to make money. As long as you kept winning, even a hundred could turn into a million…
But that’s only if you keep winning!
There’s no guarantee you’d win every round, and if you lose, you might blow everything in an instant, end up in debt, and lose it all!
Anyway… for someone like Keti, who’d never been involved in this sort of thing, the pink-haired little succubus had zero confidence in making five hundred thousand.
Forget winning… not losing everything would be a miracle.
So Keti felt this was all ridiculous. How could Lynn think this up—did her archrival take her for some kind of gambling king?!
“No, no, the main thing is, I don’t even have much money with me! Where would I get the funds, gu…”
“Pfft… Relax. I just owe the Casino boss a favor, so we’re here to play a bit. Little kitty, tonight you’ll be my assistant. If I win five hundred thousand, it’s yours, okay?”
“Uh… If we lose it all, then… you’ll just have to pay it back as my maid~! So… do your best to help me~”
Lynn grinned wickedly, but before he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded beside Keti’s ear.
The pink-haired little succubus jumped in surprise, turning her head to see a purple-haired bunny girl smiling at her, “Good evening, guests~ May I ask what you’d like to play tonight~”
“Ka–!”
