"I'll exchange two sheets."

"I'll take three..."

I'm playing poker with a man in my early 30s who looks like a half-suit in a room in an office building.His name was Jasper and he said he was one of the closest to the leeches.

"I am a pair of kings"

"Uh, it's a royal straight flash of spades."

Again!?

Jasper was stunned and Kuro, sitting on her lap, smiled.

Fufu, it's 100 years early to turn me into a fool!

High tension black. Jasper scrutinizes the cards carefully with his stunned expression.Red and the guards sent me a message of awe.

What is this situation?

"Fu, fufufu, yes, it seems like you're quite lucky.I've fought a lot of people, but it's the first time I've played Royal 8 times in a row. What a coincidence. "

Really, what a coincidence.

"May I give it to you next time?"

"Ah, yes, go ahead."

The result hasn't changed anyway...

Hand over the cards with that in mind.

"Exchange 5 sheets"

Well then, I'll exchange 5 sheets too.

"Royal Straight Flash."

Again!?

I don't know how many times I've done this.Next was Heart's Royal Straight Flash.

Fu, it looks like I was working on a little trick this time, but it's too sweet!

The tension of the black is high.

It goes back 30 minutes.

This situation began when Jasper entered the office building.

"I don't have a weapon.Looks like this is all you have. "

Red's escort, who had finished Jasper's body check, told Red that while showing him the recovered cards.

"Trump, what are you going to say?"

"Well, don't be alarmed.It's really just a cardboard game.I'm just here to talk. "

When I heard about it, I wanted to discuss it normally while playing cards.

Jaspa has no loyalty to the leech faction and is not good at roughing things up, so he said he would provide information on where Lisa is being held and where the leech is hiding as soon as the negotiations are over.

"I already know where Lisa is, but I wonder where the leeches are hiding.But I don't trust your behavior.And you think you can get in here alone and get home safely? "

According to Red, the guards around him are killing for Jasper.

"Are you torturing me?I told you earlier that I don't like rough things, but I am also quite lurking in Shuraba.I think it's a waste of time, huh?At last, I have no value as a hostage.Otherwise, I won't be riding alone. "

Jasper answered with a flat expression without moving one eyebrow.At first, I had the impression that he was a gentle, loving man, but he still seemed unable to be alarmed.

"Okay, it takes time to find out what you're up to, or torture you.Let's talk about it while we play games on suggestions. "

"Excellent judgment. It's very different from leeches.What do you like about games? "

"I don't want to take any extra time.Poker's fine. We don't have any chips, so let's use the Five Card Draw. "

Because time is wasted, Mr. Red proceeds with a faint conversation.

Wow, I'm not at all upset about the shortage.

"Poker, I see.But if you're going to do it anyway, I want it to be worth winning or losing.For example, if you win, you get one piece of information you want at a time.How about that? "

"What if I lose?"

"You don't have to do anything, it's just a game.Shall I exchange it once? "

The talking Jasper sat in the seat nearby and barely handed out the card.However, Kuro stared at the situation with a serious expression.

"Hmm... it might be better for this match to be played by a woman named Red."

Hmm? Why?

"He could be using magic."

After listening to Kuro talk about it in detail, it seems that there is a technique called "magic" that is activated on the condition of promise and battle.

A first-class magician can curse his opponent just by winning a match like a light promise.

If it is a loose condition spell, it does not have much effect on the magician or genius, but it seems that it can have a fatal effect on the general public.

I didn't feel any kind of spiritual power."Pseudo-sensitive" did not respond to the ability.Therefore, it is possible that there is just a mistake, but I will never move past being vigilant. "

Okay, then I'd better change.

Well, there is also a possibility that it is a trigger condition to decide that there was no match itself.And even if it were a kind of magic, it wouldn't work for you or me.I also have a replacement bill.

It seems that the effects of the spell can also be prevented with a substitute bill.Really handy replacement bill.I also distributed 10 sheets to Soji and Diez, and the stock has been reduced, so I'll mass produce them again when I get back.

With that in mind, I persuaded Red, and the opponent turned to me before the cards were delivered.

If it's a spell, it's highly likely that winning a match is a condition of activation.If defeat is triggered and you deliberately relax and lose, the effects of the surgery may be returned to the user. "

I see, spells are hard.

Hmm, if you try to satisfy the conditions by dishonesty, the effect of the spell will multiply and return to the user.However, the extent of fraud depends on the perception of the user.It's hard to use, but it's hard to judge objectively whether it's successful or not. "

In the meantime, is it likely that my continued victory will prevent the activation of the spell?

Yes, I'll do my best to help you with that.The point is, we don't have to leave any evidence behind.By the way, I've never lost a spell battle. "

Wow, Kuro's eyes are twitching.

It seems that many demons use spells, and they have turned all of them back.So you're familiar with spells?

And Kuro's eyes are like lions staring at their prey in the savannah.Even though she looks like a black cat, her eyes are under a lot of pressure.

"Are you the opponent? Very well."

Um, thank you.

Return to the current situation.

"Royal Straight Flash again."

"Still, again!!?"

Fuhahahaha! You're immature!

When I touched the cards many times, I noticed that the cards that Jasper brought had different patterns and textures on the back of each card.I have heard that there is such a thing on a magic card, so it must be something like that.

It's a subtle difference that I didn't even notice, but it seems to be crafted so that Jasper will always win thanks to the difference and professional card control... but it has nothing to do with me and Kuro.

"Once again, Kuro's ability is a cheat....."

Kuro's cheat illusion has been active since the game began.

The moment I opened my hand, it turned into my favorite pattern.Jasper's hand has changed to match the Tsuji.

Since Kuro's illusion was very polite and the pattern and touch on the back changed to match the pattern of the card, Jasper had checked the pattern and touch on the back many times since the fifth game.

Sure, you'd be surprised if everything changed the moment you saw the tag.

"This is 10 wins in a row. Do you have anything to ask?"

"No, that's enough."

I have heard some of the necessary information about the number of people, equipment, and tactics of Cornflower and Nickela who are already close to the hiding place and combat power of the leech.

Nothing more.

"Well, not yet! Just one last time!If I lose in the next game, I will also give you information about our real employers! "

"Real employer?"

"Isn't your employer a leech?"

"No, I'm just working under leeches at the direction of my real employer.By the way, a real employer seems to be funding leech damage. "

Did he intentionally hide the most important information?I can't trust you any more.

If it's the end of the game, let's set it up a little bit from here.Instead of magic, there's no sign of spiritual power. "

You can't make a stand out trick, can you?

I know, I just need to change the pattern of the card a little.I won't let you get caught up around me. "

Kuro is about to play the next game, so let's be more vigilant.The Enhanced Ability increases the kinematic vision to the limit, and the Triple Boundary can be activated immediately, keeping the image in your head.

Kuro seems to be more focused than ever.

"Would you like to play last without exchange?"

Fine.

I agreed to Jasper's proposal and the final battle began.

Trump games were only in the operational stages for Jasper.

No matter how small a match, the slightest remorse and anger that arises from the sense of defeat shakes emotions.

Psychology, Hypnosis, Consent Induction, Mentalism… For Jasper, who excels in all human mastery techniques, his slight heart swings were enough to get in.

Creates psychological superiority and masters the hearts and minds of key players, including Red.Plans to slowly buy time until Tojo and Nicola finish their works-

(Ahhh, what the hell is going on!?)

In a game called poker, Royal Straight Flash is the top player that can be made with 52 cards without jokers.

Jasper's heart was shaken fiercely by the boy in front of him, who kept serving it in one pair.

(This deck is a trick deck that is so highly concealed that you can't see it professionally, and I, the dealer, have 52 cards that know all the positions.There is no way you can distribute it wrong. And yet...)

Adjust and distribute the order of the cards so that even one pair is not even aligned even between exchanges, but the royal straight flash is aligned with an unexpected expression.Royal Straight Flash even if you remove all the Aces and redistribute them again to avoid being found out.When I checked the removed ace, it turned into a completely different card.

It's as if it's used in magic...

(I have already taken the antidote and caffeine I had prepared under my tongue.It's definitely not caused by hallucinogens or hypnosis.)

Examine the cards carefully over and over, check the pictures, and redistribute them again.

Jasper knew all of Kosuke's hands from the pattern on the back this time.I don't even have one pair.

And when I open my hand, I get another Royal Straight Flash.I checked the back immediately, but the pattern has already changed.

(... no way, no way!!)

I just want to check it again.With that in mind, Jasper spinned his words, forgetting even his original purpose.

"Well, not yet! Just one last time!If I lose in the next game, I will also give you information about our real employers! "

Last chance to visit.

It's a simple strategy.All we have to do is collect the spade royalties for the first time and bring them to the draw.

I had already done this a few times, but just before I checked the hand that had been handed out, the touch and the pattern on the back had all changed, and it had ended in failure.

But Jasper decided to do it again at the end, because this way he could feel the change in the card the most.

"Now, what kind of hand is it this time... eh?"

Jasper makes an unexpectedly loud noise.This is because the royal straight flash of the spade was there as intended to check his hand.

(No, this is normal, but why only this time?!)

We don't have time to play too long.Tell me the truth. "

Suddenly upset by the voice echoing in his head, Jasper desperately suppressed his astonishment from expressing himself.

(Yes, what the hell is going on...!?)

How dare the king of spades in his hand speak with a voice echoing in his head pointing at the sword.

Looking around, the projector did not project the video on the card, and no one was aware of the situation in the first place.The card itself is a regular piece of paper that does not have the ability to project video.Since Jasper uses a material that blocks radio waves in the tooth stuffing, I am sure that the voice echoing in the head is not a trick that uses the mechanism of ore radio.

(No way, is it real... real?)

As if laughing at Jasper, who was more astonished than ever, the pattern of the card of the hand gradually changed to a rosy pattern with no role.

"Uh, it's a royal straight flash of spades."

And the role that the boy in front of me played was the one that had been held in his own hand until now.

"Real magic..."

Immediately after the murmur, Jaspa threw herself out of the chair so as to fall, and sat down vigorously to the young man in front of her.

"Please make me an apprentice!!!"

Eh!?

Jasper, who sat down with his head rubbed against the floor, could not see the expression of Kousuke who was cramped.
