-It is a pity!The Goddess of Luck wasn’t looking at you!

“Ahhh. This damn thing...”

In the end, it was as expected. The result of the replay was terrible. No, it wasn’t enough to say it was terrible. I was currently facing the sky with my eyes closed and my body leaning lifelessly against the chair. When I finally opened my eyes, Joseph’s face obscured my vision.

“Cough. That... Elder?”

“What?”

“Don’t be too discouraged. This is how life is supposed to be.”

“It might've been comforting if you’ve lived longer than me but now it doesn’t work at all.’

“Cough. Then should I share my money with you?”

“It’s fine. I’m going to wash my hands now.”

I rose from my seat. It felt like real tears would come. Don’t gamble. If that second son of mine gambled again, I would beat him to death. Sigh. Shit. I was angry just thinking about it again.

“Hahaha!”

A little further away, I could hear Kis’ laughter. He wasn’t alone. The laughters of other women could be heard, intermixing with Kis’. I wasn’t sure why he was laughing so happily.

“It looks like Kis is acting again.”

“Hmm?”

I was bewildered by Joseph’s words.

“He is a very powerful NPC. I think it is right that he is a named NPC. He has been winning from the beginning, like a crazy person.”

“Really...?”

I was curious for a moment. How much had he won? Joseph and I moved to where Kis was located. It was easy to find Kis’ location since women were standing around him cheering.

“Oh my, Brother Kis is great!”

“Hohoho. Brother, let me press it this time.”

“Okay. Hahaha. Give me a hand.”

Kis’ grabbed a woman’s hand and pressed the button. The screen made a mechanical sound and soon stopped. Three hearts. It was increased by four times.

“Kyahhh~ it is hearts. Four times the amount!”

“Oh my~ I’m really envious. Kis, let me do it this time as well. Yes? Let me~”

“Hahaha. Come on, let’s do it one by one.”

My face was blank the moment I saw it. Some people worked hard to invest 2,000 coins at a time and finally earned 120,000 once. Meanwhile, coins continued to pour out for this guy as he got four times the amount he put in.

“Hah. It’s amazing. Amazing.”

Joseph chuckled from next to me. I seemed to understand how he felt. It was probably the same feeling as me. It was really outrageous.

“Hahaha. Now, this is the money I have to pay back to Aileen~”

“Hohoho. Brother is really nice. Would you like to go out for a drink later?”

“Oh my, you can’t talk to him! I have a previous engagement.”

"What are you talking about? Brother Kis is mine?”

“Now, now, relax. This time it is my turn~”

We walked over there. Kis waved his hand at us. “Hahaha. Did you come? Did you gain a lot?”

At his question, Joseph silently raised his basket while I had nothing to show. My face instantly turned red. Kis glanced at me for a moment before pressing the button quickly. “Cough.”

I was feeling embarrassed when Drain came back from the currency exchange. He looked at my basket in a bewildered manner. “Huh? Buroder, where are your coins?”

“Cough cough. Cough! Hum! Ahum! Hum!”

As I continued to cough, Joseph noticed and whispered something to Drain. He was a quick guy.

“Ah~ I see. Don wori! Haha.”

During the conversation, I heard more coins pouring out. This time, the photo of a cow appeared in the first column. It was two times the amount put in. I couldn’t help laughing. It was really crazy. Kis had made so much that he needed two baskets to collect all the coins.

I looked to the side and saw more full baskets next to him. Since there were three more, it seemed to approximately be $500,000.

“Wow... Jesusu was here.” Drain marveled at the sight.

The laughter of Kis and the women didn’t stop. This guy truly was a named NPC. He was probably a NPC with a high level of charm and good luck. Kis piled the coins in the basket and suddenly reached out to me. “Now~ I’ll give this to my big brother.”

“Huh? It’s fine. You just keep on doing what you do.”

“Hahaha. Don’t be ashamed and do it.”

“No, it’s fine. You do it. I don’t have the talent.”

“Um~ then can I help you? Beautiful ladies, please make way~”

Kis grabbed the baskets he had just pushed out, twisted his ass with excitement and moved somewhere. It was the place to insert coins into the slot machine. By the way, his behavior was a bit strange.

“T-This...!” I couldn’t help shouting. The place to insert the coins looked similar to throwing coins on the highway. Kis was currently pouring all his coins into it. It was crazy. “Dude, are you crazy?”

“Hahaha. Life is originally about one shot!”

He was a real crazy guy. He must really be crazy. There was no doubt.

-The deposit is complete!I hope the Goddess of Luck is with you!

The moment I heard that damn machine’s bullshit, I couldn’t help making a blank expression. It was the same for the two people beside me. It was such a huge situation that i didn’t know what to say. The number of coins currently in front of us was a huge 600,000 coins. Drain stuttered, “B-Buroder, did I hear incorrectly just now?”

“I don’t know if this is a dream or not.”

“I think it’s real. Hah. Crazy.”

My group wasn't able to close our mouths. Just then, Kis pulled me over. It was so sudden and I was already stiff from the shock, so I was pulled in front of him.

“Now~ pretty girls. All my money is in the hands of my big brother~! Hahahaha!”

My heart thumped. No, how the hell could there be such a person?

“Y-You are risking all your money to do something like this?”

“Huh? Hahaha. Of course. I already paid back all the money.”

“Pheeeew.”

My group sighed at the same time. He wasn’t a completely thoughtless guy. No, I still couldn’t help being angry when I thought about it again. “This jerk, you should give me a turn signal [1] when doing something like this.”

“Hahaha. I’m sorry. I keep improvising whenever I come here. By the way, what is a turn signal...?”

This person really had no brains. I was scared for a moment. Could I handle him if I accepted him into my village? Just then, Kis grabbed my wrist.

“Now~ let’s look at my big brother’s luck~! Hahaha!”

He grabbed me wrist and pulled the lever of the machine. The women around him started to murmur and giggle. The screen moved quickly. My heart involuntarily jumped the moment I saw it. Thump!Thump!Ah, I was going crazy. I was nervous now and it was like I could see the blood circulating through my body.

Kis covered the back of my hand and spoke, “My big brother’s hands are shaking. Please don’t be nervous~”

“Hohoho! Don’t be nervous~”

“Brother Kis will treat you well~”

“Huhu, this man is so cute.”

“I wonder what his face looks like.”

“I think he looks very good.”

The women behind us covered their mouths and whispered to each other. I didn’t know who these women were but they were probably nobles who Kis flirted with. It was just a guess. Nothing could calm my currently crazily beating heart.

“Now~ just believe in me. I’m going~”

Kis moved my hand and pressed the first button. A cow came out again. Exclamations burst out around me.

“Kyah~ as expected. This is twice as much?”

“Wow, how much is all this? 1.2 million? Hohoho."

“Brother, if you succeed then give me $100,000 so I can do my hair.”

“Hahaha. Yes, yes, I’ll give it to you~”

Kis and the women laughed but I was different. Uh, my heart was relaxed. Fortunately, it would end at double the amount. Huhu. 1.2 million. I couldn’t help smiling as I imagined it. Kis moved my hands again and pressed the remaining buttons quickly. The screen started to stop and it took longer than I expected.

It was because I was too focused. Some said that one minute felt like one second but I thought that one second felt like one minute. The screen stopped completely in the flowing tension.

[?? [?? [??]

“This crazy @#[email protected]#!#%#^&*”

The string of reason I was barely holding onto was broken. I didn’t know what the machine was saying. Still, one thing was for certain. Now I was so angry that I spat out a large amount of profanities. The lid was opened.

“This fucker. This Pachinko dares to make fun of me?! Hah?!”

At one point, I subconsciously picked up the chair next to me. I was about to smash it down toward the machine when Joseph stepped forward and stopped me. Drain was with him.

“C-Calm down!”

“B-Buroder, endure it!”

“Let go of me! I’m going to teach that fucking Pachinko a lesson today!”

I didn’t care about the eyes of the people around me. The moment I uttered the indescribable curses, many people playing Pachinko were already looking at me. Then I felt someone covering my mouth. I glared at the person and it was Kis. This fucking guy.

“B-Brother, you have to be quiet here. Hahaha... I’m sorry. Everyone, please return to your games. Hahaha... Guards, you can also go. Shoo shoo~”

He was bowing and apologizing to the people around us. I was so angry that I grabbed him by the collar. “This is all because of you!”

“Haha... Calm down. Big brother, there is still a chance...?”

“What is left? I’ve never won a replay! I will finish you well today. Today, you’re dead and I’m dead. Today, you will...!”

I raised my arm and Drain and Joseph stopped me once again, while the woman surrounded and protected Kis. They were furious at me.

“No, what did my brother do wrong?”

“This person, you can’t do this!”

“Apologize quickly!”

Ah, I had a headache. I pressed my hand against my temple for the first time in ages. The nagging of the women filled my ears. Pheeeew. Okay, let’s put up with it.

“Cough... Are you calm yet?”

Kis’ eyes curved and looked like a crescent moon. I closed my eyes and regained my cool. “Cough. I’m sorry, I was too excited.”

“I-It’s okay. Well, it has happened more than once or twice. Haha...”

“What?”

“Cough. Nothing. Now~ shall we do the replay?”

...He was a real rascal.

Kis sat down again, pulled the level and the slot machine turned. This mechanical noise was now frightening. I met Kis’ eyes and wondered, “What are you looking at?”

“One more time.”

“What?”

Kis grabbed my wrist and sat me in his chair. Then he used my hand to press the first and second buttons at the same time. I was stunned. I understood what was meant by going back and forth between heaven and hell.

[7] [7]

“Ohhhhh!”

Exclamations burst out around me. What? What was this [7]? I had never seen it before. Drain was the one that told me its identity. “Wow! Buroder! This [7] has a huge multiplication! Do you know? [7] [7] [☆] is 120 times the amount!”

“1-120 times?”

My mouth dropped open. It was 120 times. How many coins were inserted? Ah, it was 600,000. So multiply this by 120...

“72 million,” Joseph answered. As expected, he was quick to calculate money.

Crazy. $72 million. It was an astronomical amount. I stammered and asked Joseph, “W-What if it is something other than a [☆]?”

“It is a failure.”

“J-Jesusu...”

I subconsciously copied Drain’s exclamation. As far as I knew, it meant God. In such a situation, I should even look for Buddha. No, I had to find both.

“A-Amitabha...”

My heart was thumping. 120 times. 120 times. It had to be matched with the star shape. It must be so. God, Buddha, Heaven and Earth, unnamed god, my ancestors, etc. Any pseudo-god was okay, so please help me...

“......”

I met Kis’ eyes. Kis’ hand was currently holding my hand. I knew what it meant.

Gulp.

“I’m going.”

“W-What? Why all of a sudden?”

For a moment, I thought the world was in slow motion. My hand was flying. No, my body was moving forward. Kis pulled me and aimed my hand at the third button. Then he finally reached it. Everyone present started praying with both hands. Drain continued to repeat from the side, “Please.” This was the only word he was saying. It was the same as the others. In the midst of these earnest prayers, the screen finally stopped.

Ddiring!

[7] [7] [7]

Huh...? What was this? I looked around and saw that, other than Kis, everyone’s mouth was wide open. Just then, employees suddenly came running from out of nowhere. They set up a barricade with strings and started clapping. What just happened?

“Clap clap clap! Congratulations, guest.”

“Huh...?”

“You just got the jackpot.”

“J-Jackpot? What...”

At this moment, an indescribable large amount of coins spilled from the slot machine I was sitting at. It was so many that it had already made up a mountain. I saw the coins piled up in an instant and my jaw dropped to the ground.

“T-This... how many times...”

“320 times.”

The slot machine rotated and displayed the exact amount on the screen.

[Congratulations, it is a jackpot! $192,000,000]

It was the best day of my life.
