Chapter 13 – Fundraising – Part 1

The following day after deciding on fundraising, I went to the castle to request the plain’s licence.

The permission was simply given to me.

Because they weren’t able to sell that piece of land, I was told to do as I like.

I thought about why a land in such good location wouldn’t sell, but I decided to not think about it too much.

First of all, securing the land is accomplished.

Three days after that──the three of us are currently playing cards in the living room.

「This card nanodesu!」

Yes, finally pulling my card, Tina.

In a moment, Tina let out a sound similar to a pigeon getting shot by a bean shooter.

「You fell for it, Tina! That card is a joker!」

「Uuu……!! To think you were glaring on a joker card……」

「Although I told you to pay attention to eyes, on the contrary, you became easier to outsmart」

Maa, that technique worked only because the opponent is a beginner.

「Now then, it will be over if I draw Eiri’s card. What should I pick~」

I stare at Eiri’s last cards while grinning.

「Mumumu……」

Eiri groans with difficult expression and looks at the two cards left in her hand.

One of the cards is the same number as I have.

The possibility is-

I draw Eiri’s card without hesitation,

「Osha, bingo!!」

I splendidly draw the same card and obtained the first place wonderfully.

Oo~to, Tina and Eiri are clapping their hands.

「Uu…… this is Tak.u.ma-sama’s fifth consecutive win nanodesu……」

「As expected of someone trained at home」

「Maa, I played cards quite often after all」

Playing cards are basics of the basics.

I, who achieved a fifth consecutive win in the Old Maid game quietly make a triumphant pose.

「Saa, Eiri-chan! Let’s battle head-on again nanodesu!」

Tina who puts the remaining card between her fingers burns with fighting spirit.

「Mou, how many times we fought one-on-one already…… okay. I won’t show mercy!」

Eiri also looks fired up enough.

「Now, come!!」

「Game on nanodesu!!」

Uoooo!!

The battle against the last Baba starts with a fire burning in their eyes.

「…… Do you think I would fall for such trap?」
