Pearly took another bite of the red apple and smiled.

“Would you like an apple?”

Did you know everything too? Well, since this one chased after her as if she had no intention of hiding, there was no way she wouldn’t notice it due to Pearly’s personality.

Jamel rolled his eyes and held out his palm slightly while looking at me.

“Give me one.”

“Now here.”

Pearly picked up an apple from the plate on the railing and placed it in Jamel’s hand. Jamel received the red apple and bowed his head.

“thank you.”

“Thank you, I must be hungry from digging my back, so I should take care of this! is not it? huh? huh?”

“Hiccup!”

Jamel was startled by Pearly’s plainly pointed out words, and hiccups stretched out. Her pupils quivered, avoiding Pearly’s eyes.

“That’s not it. Hiccup! I just happened to be walking and found this place… hiccup!”

Pearly took another bite of the crispy apple in her hand, then smiled and approached Jamel. The closer Pearly approached, the more Jamel’s hands trembled.

“So… you mean you stumbled upon the exclusive guest passage of the ‘Golden Game’ here by accident? I was walking down the street by accident. huh? huh?”

Jamel rolled his eyes again and gave a small answer.

“Yes! That’s the bar!”

“Even though you need this to get in here?”

Pearly pulled out a small badge that shimmered in a dull golden light from his bosom. The badge, about the size of a fingernail, was embossed with a pattern of a lion’s head boasting a splendid golden mane with its mouth open.

Jamel glanced at Pearly before replying.

“They let me in even if they didn’t have it…”

“That’s right! That’s right, because I gave you a word to let you go up after me! Hi-Hi!”

“Hiccup!”

Tuk-tuk.

Pearly patted Jamel on the shoulder as if he was okay and shook his head.

“I understand! Coincidentally when walking on the side of the road! quite by accident! You’ll find a face you know, and you might be able to slightly follow them if you want to say hello! cancer cancer! I am very generous! generosity! do it! Besides, with this combination…”

Her gaze passed Jamel and focused on me. Her purple eyes shone enchantingly.

“Wouldn’t the biggest fault be the guardians who didn’t stop this rude tailing?”

“Priest Marnak did nothing wrong!!!”

A tight, protruding throat. Pearly frowned slightly at Jamel’s sudden loud scream and stepped back.

“I can hear you even if you don’t scream so suddenly.”

Jamel hesitated, then glanced at me before adding a comment to Pearly.

“All I said was to go after him. It was just because I was curious about where Pearly was and what she was doing!”

“swimming. Is that really true?”

When Pearly asked back, Jamel nodded as if he had waited.

“huh. I really mean it!”

“That’s right…”

Purple eyes passed Jamel and stared at her mother. Mother responded to Pearly’s gaze with the utmost impudence, whether or not Jamel panicked when she was caught following her.

‘killing.’

I was chasing you, but a word about what you’re going to do.

Her mother’s voice did not reach Pearly, but one of her middle fingers that came out of nowhere made it clear to Pearly. Pearly saw her mother’s middle finger and tilted her head at me.

“Are you insulting me? that’s right?”

There were only two people in our party who didn’t directly tell me that my mother was my god, and they were Cardisho and Pearly. Even if she didn’t say anything, she might have caught on to her mother’s true identity.

“It seems to me that you are sorry for following behind me secretly.”

I glossed over my mother’s middle finger. Pearly, my explanation, pursed her lips and thrust her middle finger into her mother’s eyes with a smile.

“especially! especially! I’ll accept your apology! Hi-Hi!”

‘Hat killed?!’

Judging by the expression on Pearly’s face, it was clear that she understood perfectly well that it was an insult. While her mother panicked, Pearly took another apple from the plate and placed it in her mother’s hand.

“this! this! It’s a ‘Golden Apple’ that is only given to those who bring a VIP badge, right? I don’t know where I get this, but it’s so refreshing and sweet, so I come here often to eat it! These apples came out after washing them clean, so it’s okay to just bite into them. Ah Marnak, would you like to try it too?”

“I am okay.”

“okay? okay? Don’t do that!”

Pearly ate the apple she was holding in her hand as if it was rather good, then quickly picked up the last apple on the plate and took another bite.

Jamel cautiously bit into the apple he was holding in his hand at that attitude, which seemed to be a complete joke. Jamel’s face, which had been staring at Pearly while eating, brightened up without even chewing it a few times.

“Oh wow! It’s really delicious! Wow, I think it’s the most delicious apple I’ve ever eaten in my life!!! Waaaaaa!”

The mother, who was glaring at the apple with eyes full of suspicion at Jamel’s almost fluttering reaction, cautiously took a bite of the apple.

‘…killed it?!’

two eyes widening. Two red cheeks. After exclamation, the mother aggressively ate the apple like a child eating an apple for the first time and stared at the apple still in Pearly’s hand.

My mother rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, then tugged at my collar.

‘killing!’

After all, that apology was originally supposed to be given to me, so he asked me to take it back and give it to him.

Is it that delicious? When everyone was enjoying something like this, it was a little regretful that my body couldn’t feel the taste.

“Um…”

I opened my mouth to speak to Pearly again, and as if she had waited, she put the apple in her mother’s hand. Then he smiled broadly at his mother.

“Look! Look! is it very tasty? Because I ate a lot. take this! receive!”

My mother glanced at me, quickly snatched the apple, and gave Pearly a haughty glance.

As if I had no choice but to accept it.

“Can I share half of it with you too?”

When she had eaten all the apples, Jamel came up to her mother, put her hands together, and poured her bright eyes at her mother. Mother looked back and forth between Jamel and the apple, then wordlessly cut the apple in half, taking the larger one and holding out the smaller one to Jamel.

‘killing.’

A word of special distribution. Jamel’s expression brightened.

“thank you!!!”

For a mother to share something she likes with someone. A part of my heart warmed at that great development. The personality of a hedgehog that stood up with thorns at others while hanging out with the soft Jamel was gradually becoming weaker.

I have to stick to Jamel like this for a while.

I wanted my mother to be the kind of person who could open up not only to me, but also to those close to me. So that I can lean on others if something goes wrong.

Of course, it was best for me to take good care of my body. Isn’t human work basically unaware of the future? Moreover, if it is a world where dangers are always scattered like this world.

As Mother and Jamel ate all the remaining apples, Pearly grabbed their hands as if waiting.

“I came here to play today! Do you want to play together while you came? Wanna be surprised? Have you ever been to a casino this big before? there is?”

“I don’t have it!”

When Jamel answered, Pearly naturally looked at her mother. The mother frowned slightly, then loosened Pearly’s hand and shook her head slightly. Pearly grinned at the two of them.

“then! I’ll let you have some fun! It’s sure to be a lot of fun! cancer cancer! Come on, follow me!”

Pearly held Jamel’s hand and walked away, and her mother followed suit. I followed my mother

“That’s mainly for playing cards. It’s the most sassy and not fun!”

Pearly walked across the balcony, taking each spot she saw, adding a brief explanation or two.

“That’s with the dealer, and over there is a slot machine, a relic of an ancient empire! But it wouldn’t be that much fun if you were sitting alone and playing slot machines! So, the sport I would recommend to two beginners is horse racing!!!”

It wasn’t the real racecourse that Pearly stretched out over the balcony railing, but rather a giant, elaborate miniature racecourse. Inside the racetrack covered in transparent hemispheres, small toy horses ran through the arena as if they were alive.

– Number 3 Black Hawk!!! Staying ahead!!! oh oh oh!!! The second horse, Red Pepper, narrows the difference by half a drink!!! No. 3!!! Entering the straight line!!!

The man who appeared to be a relayer sat down and passionately relayed the gallop of the toy horses.

Pearly clenched her chin and watched the gallop going on below.

“That is one of the relics of an ancient empire excavated by chance, but the Golden Game here brought the relic here in its entirety by spending a very large sum of money! It’s a thing far beyond the technological level of this era, so it’s completely impossible to manipulate! That’s why it’s one of the most popular gambles here at Game of Gold! Now, come on, both of you!”

As she rang a small bell she took out from her bosom, the door opened and a neatly dressed female employee walked in. Pearly put Bell into her bosom.

“Bring me two single-win betting tickets. Two chips as a bonus.”

“yes.”

After a while, the woman prostrated herself and brought out two pieces of paper and two black chips. Pearly gave one chip to Jamel and her mother.

“Hey gift! Oh, if you don’t like horse racing, you can use it elsewhere! Okay!”

Jamel observed the bookmaker with curious eyes.

“How are you doing this?”

“Simple! If you just guess the horse that will come in first place, you can get money according to the dividend! sleep see Is the payout different for each horse? There, the dividend for the 3rd horse is 2, so if you bet one chip on the 3rd horse and the 3rd horse comes in first place, you get 2 chips! Pretty simple, right?”

“Wow!!!”

At Pearly’s explanation, Jamel observed the black chip here and there, then stretched out his finger and pointed at his own chip.

“How much are these for one?”

“Please exchange one black chip for one silver coin! Come on, isn’t that the money you received from me anyway? Don’t worry about the amount, just bet! Walk!”

‘killing!’

The mother, who was reading the paper silently, pointed out one of the words up to number 12. The horse my mother took was number 11. It was the horse with the highest odds ratio of 108 among the 12 horses.

Pearly’s eyes widened gently in amusement.

“As expected, the barrel is big! Where will you hang Jamel? Personally, if I had to give you a little recommendation, wouldn’t it be nice to have fun betting on the same words? It’s a little embarrassing when your own horse wins after cheering for different horses! how is it? how is it?”

“Then I’ll take number 11 as well.”

“good! good! Then mark the bookmaker and hand over the chip!”

After Jamel and her mother handed over the marked betting ticket and chips, the staff brought the number 11 betting ticket. We waited for the game to start, standing on the balcony with the best view of the stadium.

– Now, today’s 12th horse race has just started!!!

and a little later

– No. 11!!! The No. 11 10,000 last-place speed holster comes in first place, beating the favorite, the No. 3 horse Black Hawk, by half a length!!!

“Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! I believed in you!!!”

“Hooray for the speed holster!!! Yeokbae finally exploded!!!”

“No, does that make sense?!”

“It makes sense because it makes sense!!!”

The 11th horse, who really woke up miraculously, passed all the horses and passed the competition line in first place. Jamel and her mother, who were watching the game with the betting ticket firmly in their hands, jumped up as if they had been waiting.

“Waaaaaaaa!!!”

‘Say hat!!!’

The two of them run around and hug each other. I suddenly had a question.

Pearly obviously said that the horse racing artifact couldn’t manipulate the results, but she seemed to induce Jamel and her mother’s batting horse to become the same.

All that said earlier is a blatant lie, and could that machine actually be able to manipulate the rankings of racehorses?

When I turned my head, my eyes met Pearly’s. One of her eyes had already split into four pupils, taking on the shape of a spider. Pearly closed one of her four-parted eyes and stretched out a finger to place it on her lips.

“Shh.”

She came closer and whispered in my ear.

“Let them both have fun.”
