Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　They discovered the mouth of a giant snake, which looked somewhat illusory and unreal, slowly disappearing from the wall.

　and so……

　Did the two actually emerge from the mouth of the giant snake on the wall? And... what was with the grassland we saw from inside the car earlier?

　Although puzzled, Yoshimi Munemasa did not ask any questions.

　In the time she spent with her mother, she had learned to be silent...

　However, Cong Yu's explanation came quickly.

　"The view you see from inside the car is 'a scenic section somewhere in the world,' in other words... it's for sightseeing."

　As she said this, Cong Yu reached out and pushed open the door in the alley, waving to the rabbit-man whose face was full of "Why is Lady Cong Yu here again?"

　Then, under the watchful eye of the rabbit-man, Cong Yu led in a girl who looked like a high school student...

　Because of the black mist wrapped around his neck, it was easy to tell that he was a monster.

　"Rabbit Man, are you guys hiring?"

　Cong Yu asked this question.

　"..." Upon seeing this setup, the rabbit-man, being the chosen working man, immediately understood... they wanted her to arrange the newcomers' work.

　They are probably not newcomers who joined the group through official channels.

　It was something Lord Congyu picked up randomly by the roadside...

　How could this rabbit-man dare to say he "doesn't need any more people"? Even if he really didn't need any, then the place he was in charge of would definitely need more people.

　Moreover, there is indeed a severe shortage of people here.

　We don't lack customers, we lack workers...

　"We don't lack thugs or cleaners... what we lack are people to handle exchanging chips, or dealers."

　The rabbit-man answered in this way, and she sized him up.

　A slightly shy, eccentric high school girl remarked, "She's probably more efficient at counting chips..."

　Although Rabbit Man himself is an oddball, he has to admit it.

　Eccentrics generally don't have a high level of education... especially professional eccentrics. The average level of education can be judged by how many eccentrics have been transformed in recent times.

　The more people there are, the higher the average level of education.

　Intellectuals like the doctor are ultimately a minority...

　So, the oddballs working here, even when asked to count chips, will take them ages to do all sorts of calculations...

　"Counting chips...mathematics?"

　As Munemasa Yoshimi muttered to herself, she looked into the noisy casino interior... This wasn't a place for an obedient and well-behaved high school girl.

　However, she was quite confident in her mental arithmetic skills.

　"Then, she's yours, Rabbit Man."

　As she said this, Cong Yu reached out and ruffled the rabbit boy's ears, then, to his astonishment, waved goodbye.

　then……

　Then Munemasa Yoshimi grabbed the hem of her clothes.

　"Um...wait, what exactly do I need to do?"

　As Munemasa Yoshimi asked this question, she was slightly timid and shy, but with her excellent ability to read people, she could tell that the Rabbit Man was the person in charge here... and that Cong Yu was the Rabbit Man's superior.

　Therefore, she subconsciously assumed that Cong Yu was the owner of the casino.

　"Hmm... this rabbit man will help you get acquainted with the area and will also find someone to guide you."

　Cong Yu responded in this way, then paused and smiled, "However, it's not that I can't accompany you to look around first."

　Although going to a casino is a bit too strange.

　"..." The rabbit-man reached out and rubbed his ears, wondering to himself... Was Lord Congyu like this before?

　Why does it feel so much more welcoming?

　"Let me show you around..."

　The rabbit-man, who had volunteered, said this and immediately led the way, which attracted a group of strange underlings to watch.

　The rabbit-man nodded to Cong Yu and Zongzheng Ximei and said, "I'll take you to see the chip exchange process first."

　When it came to his area of ​​expertise, the Rabbit Man seemed to become more confident, leading the way while saying, "I am the Rabbit Man, and who is this gentleman?"

　In response, Munemasa Yoshimi immediately bowed to the rabbit man: "I am Munemasa Yoshimi. Nice to meet you."

　"..." Use your real name... Is it okay not to use a code name?

　However, the other party probably awakened on its own, rather than being modified. Therefore, there is no "prototype," which makes it indeed more difficult to come up with a nickname.

　The rabbit-man nodded, patted the other person on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need to be so reserved: "When you officially join the organization, they will give you a code name. For now, I'll just call you by your name."

　Hearing the rabbit man's words, Munemasa Kimi tilted her head... because she didn't know anything about "organization" and wasn't sure what it meant.

　However, she doesn't need to know for now...

　Once you join, it will become clear.

　"..." Zongzheng Yimei blinked, looking at the ears dangling on the rabbit man's head, and then at the strange people who were curiously crowding around.

　Weird people...so many weird people.

　Logically speaking, Munemasa Yoshimi, who had been human for a long time, should not be used to or comfortable with the scene before her.

　But very surprisingly, even she herself was surprised...

　Awesome.

　Thinking this, Munemasa Yoshimi looked at the strange people's curious gazes and couldn't help but feel...very comfortable.

　It feels great.

　Rabbit Man looked around at Zongzheng Ximei and his weird underlings staring at her. He immediately scolded them, "Are you guys bored? If you have nothing to do, go clean the toilets! Go away, everyone!"

　Upon hearing this, the eccentric henchmen scattered in all directions.

　The rabbit-man then smiled awkwardly and apologized to Munemasa Yoshimi: "I'm sorry, they were too lively and a bit funny... But actually, they are all nice people, don't take it too seriously."

　"..." Munemasa Yoshimi shook her head at this. Her eyes were clear now, and nothing covered them.

　Like the bygone days that only exist in memories of the past.

　At that time, the fog had not yet shrouded her future, nor had the burden of dreams weighed on her.

　She felt she would like it here, she would like it here.

　It was as if she was born to belong here, as if she was born to "belong" to this side of the strange man.

　The dark side of the world.

　And this equality and freedom...

　Just like before.

　Chapter 229 was still too stimulating for JK.

　"White chips are 'one yuan,' red chips are 'five yuan,' green chips are 'twenty-five yuan,' black chips are 'one hundred yuan,' blue chips are 'five hundred yuan,' silver chips are 'one thousand yuan,' and gold chips are 'ten thousand yuan.'"

　The man with the rabbit-shaped hairpin explained, placing chips of the same size but different denominations and colors on the table: "The amount is marked on each chip... ten chips per stack."

　As he said this, the rabbit man's hand moved quickly, easily grabbing ten stacked together from a pile of chips.

　The partition is the same height as the table where the chips are counted.

　This is a small design feature that makes inventory easier.

　"Remember?"

　The rabbit man asked this question.

　Zongzheng Ximei was somewhat confused... She wasn't sure what the rabbit man meant: "Remember what? Isn't the amount marked?"

　There's no need to remember the colors, since the numbers are all written on the chips.

　"What I said was, 'Do you remember what the numbers were written on the chips?' It seems I did remember."

　The rabbit-man nodded with satisfaction, hands on his hips, his large white breasts bouncing slightly... but that's not the point.

　"Pfft-"

　Cong Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud, then waved her hand when the rabbit-man looked over: "It's nothing... don't worry about it."

　For some reason, Cong Yu suddenly found it very funny.

　Analysis of the humor... The rabbit man's subordinates are actually this stupid; they even have difficulty "remembering the numbers on the chips."

　It's hilarious.

　Although after analysis it seemed like a very inexplicable joke... it was really hard for Cong Yu to keep a straight face on set.

　"If someone brings money to exchange for chips, then give them an equal amount in return, but make sure to check if it's counterfeit... Understand?"

　The rabbit-man instructed, fiddling with the chips in front of him: "When customers bring chips to exchange for money, we exchange them at a ratio of 10 to 9. If they don't get all the money, we give them small chips to keep as souvenirs... Sometimes there are promotional activities, and we'll notify them then."

　The former is understandable; it's just a normal exchange of chips by guests entering the venue. But what does the latter mean?

　What does 10 to 9 mean?

　Zongzheng Ximei's puzzled look prompted the rabbit man to immediately explain: "It's very simple. Someone is bringing you a 100-yuan chip and a 25-yuan chip to exchange for cash."

　"Then you can exchange 120 chips for him, give him 108 yuan, and convert the rest into five chips for him to take home as a souvenir."

　Although Munemasa Yoshimi didn't quite understand what the rabbit-man was saying, she still obediently nodded...

　However, what she really wanted to ask wasn't "how to do it" but "why".

　Cong Yu, who had been listening in, simply replied, "That's how casinos make money... Casinos provide a platform for their customers, so they need to take a commission."

　As she said this, Cong Yu rested her chin on her hand and said, "This is a sure-fire way to make money... but strictly speaking, games where 'guests gamble against the casino' are not entirely impossible."

　As she spoke, Cong Yu pointed to a pinball machine in the corner of the casino that didn't seem very busy: "Playing with small steel balls is... but actually, many convenience stores have them, so it's not unusual."

　Indeed, in Japan, pachinko machines are legal... and many people have become addicted and gone bankrupt from playing them.

　As Cong Yu spoke briefly...

　"Do not!!!"

　Suddenly, one of the gamblers roared and lunged at another gambler, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

　His face was contorted with rage.

　He, who thought he had excellent luck, had never lost so badly. He, who was usually invincible, had stumbled in this gamble.

　"You bastard, you cheated! You cheated!!!"

　As he continued cursing, the gambler violently punched the customer he had tackled, yelling, "One million two hundred thousand! This is the money I'm saving for my wife and daughter's medical treatment!!!"

　"..." He was now completely in a state of frenzy, unable to hear anything, and was pushing everything around him to the ground like a madman.

　The surrounding gamblers avoided him like the plague.

　Soon after, several strange men who had been seen before forcefully pulled the man away and threw him out.

　They helped the other customer up, apologized, and called a car to take him to the hospital.

　Although the guest was bleeding from his nose, he was laughing maniacally and cheering loudly for his victory.

　The playing cards hidden in his sleeve fell to the ground, but he didn't pay any attention to them.

　They even demanded that all the chips be redeemed before leaving...

　And about this...

　"Cheating...what is that?"

　"It's cheating... If you're caught red-handed, the casino will take responsibility. But if you shout like that after a game is over, or if we only find out about it then, we won't be responsible," Munemi asked curiously.

　Cong Yu said this, watching as the mess on the ground was quickly cleaned up, restoring it to a state where nothing had happened: "Are you interested?"

　"..." In response, Munemasa Yoshimi blinked, looking honestly at the colorful decorations on the gambling table, and said, "Indeed, a little."

　Upon hearing this, the rabbit-man's ears twitched, reminding him, "Miss Zongzheng, I suggest you... it's better if you're not interested."
