BEGINNER’S LUCK?

“What on earth are you lot up to?”

It was break time at The Benevolent Mistress, and Lyu passed a curious sight. Bell and Syr were seated at a round table, playing cards.

“Oh, hi, Ms. Lyu,” said Bell, looking up from his hand with a strained smile. “The waitresses made me join in…I don’t think I really get the rules, though…”

“Come on, white-hair! Avenge our deaths, meow!”

“Believe in the luck that carried you through the War Game and strike down this woman for her crimes, meow. Syr must die!”

“We’re counting on you, adventurer boy!”

Her fellow waitresses, not counting Syr, gathered around Bell, cheering him on. Syr sat at the opposite end of the table, a triumphant smile spread across her lips.

“Remember, Bell. Whoever loses this hand has to do whatever the winner says. And wouldn’t you know it? I have a full house right here!”

There wasn’t a speck of mercy in her rabbit-hunting eyes. Cries of “Another good hand?! She’s got the luck of the gods!” “It’s over, it’s all over, meow…!” and “Useless white-hair!” rang out from the other waitresses. Syr’s uncanny ability to see through any lie or bluff had served her well in the game so far.


Bell looked at the cards in his hand and stammered. “Ah-ha-ha, I don’t think I can win. I only have a pair…”

With a defeated smile, he revealed his hand face up on the table. They were the six of diamonds, followed by the seven, eight, and ten of the same suit, plus a joker. When Lyu saw the cards laid out, she was flabbergasted.

“M-Mr. Cranell! That’s a straight flush!”

As soon as she said it, Bell and all the other waitresses went, “““““Huh?”””””

It seemed that none of them quite grasped the rules. Had Lyu not been there, Bell’s victory might have gone completely unnoticed. Little wonder, then, that Syr’s ability was of no use; there was no point in detecting lies when even Bell didn’t realize what his hand contained.

“You did it, white-hair!!”

“All right!!”

“Take that, Syr!!”

“Whaaaat?! How?!”

Ahnya, Chloe, and Runoa went wild, while Syr sat there with tears in her eyes. The unbelievable comeback resulted in Syr having to do the chores for all the other waitresses, while Lyu watched on in disbelief.

“No slacking! Get back to work, meow!”

“Why meee?!”

“Beginner’s luck…” muttered Lyu. “What a terrifying thing…”
