You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Pfft... You look like Cecilia's dad's mistress."

"Huh?" Stella bit her red lips and glared at Yuri.

"We should go."

Yuri naturally reached out and wrapped her arm around Stella's slender waist, leading the witch, who was still not used to high heels, into the club.

……

……

……

After entering the casino, Yuri exchanged some chips.

They gave half of it to Stella and kept the other half for themselves. The two pretended to be players, participating in the gambling while simultaneously inspecting the club's interior.

Before entering the club, Stella had already used surveying magic to draw a rough three-dimensional structure.

The building has an underground area that is not open to the public, but can be reached through the emergency exit of the casino lobby.

Yuri and Stella both agreed that if the club was hiding elves, they must have hidden them there.

The problem is that the emergency exit gate leading from the casino lobby to the underground is closed and locked, and the club's interior is protected by numerous high-level multi-layered barriers.

It includes not only surveillance magic used to monitor the lobby and record images, but also various detection magic to prevent guests from cheating at games.

In other words, Yuri and Stella must now sneak past all the waiters and stealthily cross the spacious hall to the emergency exit leading to the basement.

Next, they must open the door without using lock-picking magic.

"Let's move around freely for now and investigate where the key or access card is."

Yuri explained to Stella: "The club staff in the lobby must have the key on them. Let's go find it."

After that, the two started playing casino games.

Yuri has always been lucky; after all, even though he was just a fake, he was still the chosen one.

After sitting at the roulette table for more than an hour, the table beside him was piled high with his winnings, and the area behind him was packed with people.

The elegantly dressed guests watched Yuri's betting game and whispered among themselves about the boy's good luck.

Stella, on the other hand, was at the other extreme. She quickly lost all the chips Yuri had given her and returned to her master in a huff.

"How did you win so much?!"

Stella glanced around at the sea of ​​people and asked in a low voice, "Why do you have to attract so much attention? Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?"

Yuri rolled her eyes: "You think I wanted to?"

He's had good luck before, but never anything this outrageous.

Previously, during the settlement of the singularity, Yuri obtained a strange unique skill called "Verdant Kiss", which included a buff that greatly increased "fate power".

Yuri felt that his good luck tonight was mostly related to this dubious blessing from the evil god.

At that moment, he suddenly felt an incredibly soft and wonderful sensation on his arm.

"We found the waiter with the key."

Stella pressed herself against Yuri like a noblewoman's mistress, whispering in his ear.

"The guy at three o'clock, and the guy standing on the side of the bridge table."

A man and a woman; they must be the lobby supervisors tonight. The keys are on them.

Yuri nodded, a satisfied expression on his face: "Well done, these are all yours, consider them a reward for tonight."

As he spoke, the boy pushed all the chips piled up like a small mountain in front of him to Stella beside him: "Let's play."

"...!"

The silver-haired witch's eyes widened: she couldn't believe that Yuri was so extravagant, as he usually wouldn't even throw away bread that had been sitting at home for a month.

"Well... I'll play then? Don't blame me if you lose, okay?"

Yuri smiled broadly: "Go ahead and have fun, Stella."

Twenty minutes later.

Stella quickly lost all her chips, and the onlookers, shouting "So bad!", dispersed.

"How could this be?"

When she lost her last token, the witch felt a huge emptiness in her chest, and feelings of regret, resentment, and other emotions flooded her mind.

Before she could even process these things, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Time to get to work, Stella."

Yuri laughed and said, "Having lost so much of my money, you're prepared to be crushed to pieces for me tonight, aren't you?"

Stella finally realized that she had once again fallen into the sweet trap of the prophesied child.

She vowed never to gamble again in her life, or she would cut off her hand.

……

……

……

Yuri and Stella, each holding a cocktail, sat down on a sofa in the casino lobby lounge area.

“We have to figure out a way to steal the key from the waiter,” Yuri said.

"How do you make it?" Stella asked curiously, taking a sip of the cocktail.

Yuri glanced at the two middle-aged men in the lobby and said to her.

"Let me think... the safest way is probably to seduce him. You make physical contact with that older man and take the opportunity to steal the key."

"Huh? I don't want to!"

Stella frowned slightly and refused without hesitation: "I'll go talk to him, and you can find a chance to steal the key while I'm there."

Another effect of "Verdant Kiss" is "At night, gain bonus attack speed and movement speed, and increase the success rate of stealth, theft, lockpicking, and shadow hiding."

Thanks to this skill, Yuri now possesses the most basic qualities of a thief.

Actually, Yuri was just teasing Stella. He also thought this plan was the most feasible and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

The problem is that the key is probably hidden in his back pocket, and Yuri doesn't want to touch a man's backside.

"Just because you don't want to touch a man's butt doesn't mean I can let a man touch my butt!"

The silver-haired girl crossed her arms and turned her face away angrily.

After a moment's thought, Yuri stood up from the sofa.

"where are you going?"

Stella looked up in surprise, only to see Yuri looking smug.

"Hmph, let me show you something. Just stay away and follow behind me."

Yuri felt that seduction was the only option; since Stella was unwilling, he would have to sacrifice himself.

Then, he put down his cocktail and walked over to the female of the two lobby managers.

Hello, sister.

Yuri smiled and struck up a conversation with the unfamiliar woman.

"Ah...yes, hello. How can I help you?"

The head waitress looked to be in her early thirties, wearing a form-fitting black and white uniform, with her long blonde hair pulled up high at the back of her head.

The female supervisor has a curvaceous figure and a dignified and composed demeanor. She is both tall and voluptuous, showcasing the mature charm that belongs only to her age.

The cinched waist of the reception dress accentuated her curves and made her ample bust appear even more prominent. Beneath the bodycon mini skirt were her long, slender legs encased in black stockings and classic high heels.

Although she works in the service industry, she is also a club manager, and naturally gives people a sense of aloofness and superiority.

This is because she was always pursued by many men around her, which gradually led to her arrogant attitude.

However, while talking to Yuri, the female foreman sometimes showed a kind expression and sometimes covered her mouth to chuckle.

The aloof goddess aura she had just exuded vanished, and her bright eyes couldn't hide her fawning and ingratiating gaze towards the young man.

"Turns out, another shallow woman fooled by this kid's appearance."

Stella, standing not far away, sneered and finished her cocktail.

After chatting happily with the female supervisor for about five minutes, Yuri and the female supervisor walked towards a corner of the casino lobby.

Stella quickly followed.

As a result, she saw Yuri and the female supervisor walking into the restroom, chatting and laughing—and it was the men's restroom.

"???"

What are you doing in the men's restroom?

Stella frowned, hesitated for a long time about whether she should go in too, and finally decided against it.

She stood there, about ten meters away from the restroom, watching what was happening there.

Five minutes passed.

Ten minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

Stella finally lost her patience and, slightly worried about Yuri's safety, decided to go in and check on the situation.

Yuri, with his belt fastened, walked out of the restroom.

The boy spotted the silver-haired girl immediately and beckoned to her: "Come and help me."

Stella looked around and, finding no one watching, walked towards the restroom.

Stella: "What were you doing in there for so long?"

Yuri: "Plain talk."
