Chapter 105 – Casino – 10

Whoaaaaagh!

The flames do not discriminate between people and places. It spreads in an instant with the feeling that it spreads wherever it can be reached.

Pelete wields an illusion sword.

With a whoop, the flames split into two halves, and the road opened for us to walk to the entrance for a while.

Whenever the flames came back, we created a path while swinging the welcome sword, and we walked on.

By the time you’ve almost reached the entrance.

“Fire! Fire! Rabbit haha! Oh my god!”

She jumped here and there as Elise made her fuss.

“Master! Aagh! No! Master, you can’t burn to death!”

Alice looks at the middle of the arena and is at a loss for what to do. However, what she knows how to do is explosive magic, so it is not suitable for extinguishing her fire.

What do I do, what do I do, I hit Alice’s ear as she repeated her voice.

“I’m here.”

“Fire!”

“Because I’m here.”

“Fire… Eh? Master?!”

Only then did Alice stop jumping and let out a sigh of relief.

Looking around, I saw that the other executives of El Balom had also gathered, and it seemed that these guys came here because they were worried about me in their own way.

“Looks good, casino guys~ Yeah, burn them all up~~”

Tyr, the sea turtle, was giggling at what was so funny. He must have lost some money wandering around the casino.

I put my hand on her shoulder and said quietly.

“That one you need to remodel.”

“Pu haha… Ah? No, what?”

Aaaaagh, after a while a desperate scream flowed from Tyr’s mouth. I turned off her lights, left her running around, and left her behind her, and I left.

◈

Since I robbed another big one, originally, I would have gathered the executives and held an El Balom executive meeting.

However, there were still places left to explore alone with Felit. That was the priority, so the meeting was postponed to a later date.

The place Felit and I visited was a room located in the deepest part of the casino. I rolled up my sleeves and set out in earnest.

“Let’s take a look. There’s no way Sek didn’t leave anything behind.”

“I think so. The casino is so big… I would have left something huge aside from the money.”

We passed through narrow streets, through traps, empty rooms, maze-like paths, and so on, and finally reached the end.

As soon as I arrived, I suddenly had an idea, so I immediately put it in my mouth.

“Really. If you find it, will it be mine?”

“Take it. That’s what I followed in the first place. I am not very interested.”

“Okay? Why?”

“Ask why?”

Felit gave a short answer and turned his head away.

Anyway, when I arrived at the end, there was a very huge door holding on. It was a huge door that said very plainly that there was something behind it.

I nodded and forced Pelet to step back.

He then inserted an explosive-type bullet and heated the barrel as hard as he could. I pumped as much mana as I could, maxed out the output, and then triggered it.

Kwaaang!

The door shattered with a roar. It was only then that I realized what it would be like if the explosion was so strong that everything inside was shattered.

“It is wide.”

Fortunately, however, the inside was wide enough that I didn’t have to worry about that at all. All kinds of expensive-looking things and gold bars were neatly arranged here and there.

When I swipe it with my finger, there is no dust attached to it. As if it had just been cleaned.

“Hara didn’t work at the casino and was just cleaning all day.”

Then, suddenly, a business card came into my sight.

[For the dark. ]

I suddenly looked up and there were portraits of Elfriede’s silhouette drawn all over the place. Even at first glance, the number exceeds ten.

Aha. Rather than managing to be thorough like this because she was possessive, she must have thought of collecting these things here and dedicating them to Elfriede.

I feel like taking more.

First of all, I put a bullet through each of Elfriede’s portraits. It makes me feel good when I do this.

Even that wasn’t enough, so I told Pelit.

“You also draw a sword once in a while.”

“Yes?”

“You are free. There is nothing I can’t do now.”

“Ah.”

As if he had made up his mind for something, Pelette slammed the illusion sword into the painting. A look of bewilderment spreads across his face.

It wasn’t a mixture of fear or panic, just real embarrassment.

I parted her lips as she looked in my direction.

“The wall behind the painting is not. What does it take?”

As soon as I heard that, I removed all the portraits of Elfriede from the walls.

Maybe it’s because I thought that the treasures we see now may not pass by ‘tricks’.

When the ten portraits are removed, ten devices are revealed. I still don’t know how to use it.

“Pellets.”

But call her name Because she might know.

“Yes. Maybe I can.”

A phantom sword woven with mana, mana does not simply take the form of a sword. After pulling out a lot of thin strands of mana thread, weaved them into the shape of a sword.

Pellet unraveled the thread. Then, carefully insert each strand into the device and examine it. Like a shoplifter trying to open a locked door.

After a while, there was a clicking sound, and the devices started to move.

Some go down and some go up. What was certain was that they were finding their place and moving.

Finally, when all ten devices were in place, a black box fell from the sky.

I tried to open it right away, but the tight-knit guy never opened his mouth.

In the end, I took out an ermethylene hammer, pushed the claw handle into the gap, and pulled it like a lever to open the box.

“…!”

And from inside the open box, something terribly shot out. Her orientation was towards her pellets, so I grabbed her and jumped to her floor.

Courage!

We rolled across the floor together, and sharp objects from the boxes lodged all over the walls.

Pellette, who belatedly grasped the situation, thanked him.

“Ah… Thank you.”

Either way, I got back up and walked towards the box. I was more curious about what the hell was in it and why they planted such a device.

It would be a big deal to stick your head right in and check.

I nodded at Pellette.

“Pull out the thread and touch the inside of the box.”

“Yes.”

Pelet moved a little closer to the box, pulled out his thread, and touched the inside of the box in places.

However, the more she repeats the act, the more her expression turns to bewilderment. As I looked at the sign, I naturally became suspicious.

“Why?”

“No… That is… “

“That is.”

“It feels like nothing.”

As soon as he said that, we pushed our faces toward the box.

Really. There was only a rough, black surface of the box, nothing inside. Even if I put my hand in and stir it, nothing caught in my hand.

I wondered if the object might be in a state of transparency. It wasn’t that either.

But suddenly, with a pop, something was created inside the box.

An ingot that emits a brilliant golden light. I didn’t know what it was.

“Marthylene… ?!”

We cried at the same time

If ermethylene is the ultimate material, marethylene is a material that exists only for ermethylene.

For example, all the golden colors that decorate Ermethylene weapons are Marethylene.

Only marethylene can afford ermethylene. So, marethylene is usually used to modify ermethylene.

“That’s great.”

With this, I can refine the witch’s curses I’m currently using into a much better state.

While I was looking around Marethylene. Pelet looked inside the box while making a noise.

“Florian. Look at this.”

“What.”

Pelete hands me a small business card.

“Did this just come out of a box?”

“Yes. When Florian-sama lifted the ingot, it was under it.”

“What.”

I handed the Marethylene to Pelit and read the phrase on the business card.

[To you who have reached this point. ]

What is this cheeky letter? As if they were watching what I was doing.

I turned it over to see if something was written on the back, but there was nothing written on it.

Then it is. After all, it’s what humans do best to write down plausible phrases.

The moment I flipped it back to the front like that.

Letters were changed. The color is much darker and darker than the letters I’ve seen before.

[You are always watching. ]
