"Well, even if it's me..."

Chaoyang seemed to hear the sound of her heart being pierced again in Pochi's muttering.

"Hey~~ These are Pochi-chan's band members."

"To be precise, it's Hongxia's band."

Chaoyang corrected Yang No.

"Everyone is a beautiful girl, it looks like they will be very popular."

Yang Nai bent down and looked at the three people, then straightened up and looked like a senior commenting.

"Hey... don't forget that you're only a freshman, and they're sophomores, and they're also seniors."

"Hey~~ I can hear you over here. But... Miss Yukinoshita, you're obviously the beauty, but you don't seem to be on the same level as us. You seem like a member of society. Maybe even more mature than my sister."

"It's true that both of you are weird... But Yukinoshita-san here definitely gives me the feeling of an older sister. Even though she's only in the first year of high school..."

After Hongxia finished her evaluation, she spoke again, but this time to Yamada Ryo.

"Liang, the front desk doesn't care? You can't be lazy, huh?"

"The store manager changed it with me, saying that the bands performing today are very popular and asked me to study hard."

"Haha, my sister is like this, rubbing rubbing rubbing~ tired"

"It's been too many times."

"Ah, judging from the way you sound, the band is still in its early stages?"

Yang Noi interrupted the conversation with a hint of curiosity.

"Hey, sorry to make you laugh, that's true. We just had our first performance a while ago, but it was a bit of a failure, and we still don't have a lead singer."

Yang Nai tilted her head and pinched her chin, pretending to think for a moment.

"Oh my~ No lead singer yet? Their voices are so beautiful. How about Pochi-chan being the lead singer?"

"Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing!!!!"

"Pochi-chan! It's just a joke, Ms. Yukinoshita, I was just joking. Just focus on playing lead guitar!"

"Speaking of which, during her first performance, Pochi-chan's memories weren't fully updated yet, so it was probably a complete failure. Now, Niji and Ryo are treating her like a beginner. ...Speaking of guitar...it seems both Haruno and Yukino can play. Should she play with Pochi and the others? No, it wouldn't be good if she just naturally replaced Kita's role."

"Pochi-chan was a guitarist, wasn't she? Hi~~ I really miss it."

Yang No suddenly said this with emotion.

"Hey, what does Ms. Yukinoshita mean? Could it be..."

Hong Xia was just about to ask.

Chaoyang grabbed Yangnai's hand and walked out.

"It's time for work, Haruno. See you next time, Nijiga and Ryou. See you at school tomorrow, Pochi-chan. Good luck on your work."

"The show hasn't started yet..."

Hong Xia was planning to persuade them to stay and take a look, but before she could finish her words, the two of them had already disappeared on the stairs.

"Huh? What's wrong? The toilet is downstairs."

Ijichi Xingge, who was at the front desk, saw Chaoyang and Yangno coming up and naturally thought that they had gone to the wrong toilet.

"Ahaha, the manager suddenly has something to do, we'll leave first."

"Huh? I'm not refunding my money! Seriously, if you have something to do, don't waste your money on a show!"

"Sorry, sorry~~ I just suddenly remembered it. I'll definitely watch the whole thing after the band's official performance. Good night."

He quickly pulled Yang Noi away from STARRY.

"Ah~~ Why are you leaving so suddenly?"

"I was afraid that if you started talking, Hongxia would ask you to join their band, and you would think it was fun and actually join. So I took you away."

Walking on the streets of Shimokitazawa, Chaoyang gave a brief explanation.

"What? Just for something like this~~ You're surprisingly petty."

"It's not just that. After the show, it'll be almost 9 o'clock, and we have school tomorrow, don't forget. Our main task today is to do other things, and also to test a hypothesis I want to test. ...Then you lead the way to the location of the Tokyo underground casino."

"I can't guarantee that my world will be the same as mine. What if it isn't?"

"It's just a trip to the racetrack tomorrow."

"It seems I was wrong. I'm not going to be a gigolo, but an unemployed middle-aged man."

Yang No winked mischievously as she answered.

"I'm sorry, blame me for being so gentle and wanting you to live in a big house~~"

"Then why don't I go to Roppongi and pick out an apartment now?"

"...Miss, please forgive me. If we really make that much money, I'm afraid the casino people won't let us leave safely."

"Isn't that great? Just like in Hong Kong movies, after the gambling, there's the fighting scene."

After saying that, he leaned his whole body towards me, neither close nor distant, and refused to let go.

"If you're expecting this kind of plot, then cancel today. I don't want to take risks with a woman."

"Oh, that's very gentle~ Let's go and try our luck in Shinjuku. But even if there is one, there's a high chance we won't be able to get in."

Yang Nai covered her mouth and chuckled.

115. I have no other thoughts but to try my luck.

Taking the crowded subway, Chaoyang brought Yangno to Shinjuku. Led by Yangno's brisk footsteps, they soon arrived at an ordinary building with no special features.

There were almost no pedestrians around, but there was a constant stream of cars coming and going.

"This is?"

Chaoyang saw that Yangnai had stopped walking, so he asked.

"I remember there was an underground casino here~~. People had brought me here a few times before, but it was all membership-based, and you had to show your membership QR code to the camera at the door. Other places were similar. Well~~ your plan wasn't feasible from the beginning~~."

"Let's wait and see if there's anyone around here who looks like a gambler. I can ask them if I can borrow their membership."

A man in his 3,40s or s, dressed in a suit, suddenly appeared with a dull look in his eyes.

"...Waaaaaaaa, I lost all the money for my mom's medicine~!!!!!! Please, someone lend me 300,000!!!!"

"Let's go, it's so boring."

Yang Nai's tone was extremely cold. She impatiently combed her hair with her hands, showing no interest. As if she had seen something dirty, she wanted to pull Chaoyang away from this place.

"……Um."

Chaoyang felt that this was God's arrangement for him, or perhaps some of his own characteristics came into play.

However, Chaoyang respected Yangno's opinion. Since Yangno wanted to leave, Chaoyang did not intend to insist. He just wanted to try his luck.

"Please! Save my mother! This is the limit! Give me, give me one last chance."

Tears and snot gushed out as she crawled on the ground to Chaoyang's feet.

"Please, please be kind and save my mother."

Since Chaoyang and Yangno were the only ones on the street, it seemed that they were using him as a lifeline after their emotional breakdown.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm just a poor man and can't help you. So if you don't want to get hurt, please let go."

All I can say is that he was smart enough not to pull Yang Nai's legs, otherwise Chaoyang might have hurt him directly.

Yang No let out a sigh of relief

"Haha...never mind, it seems fate has sent you in. Perhaps the very trait you were trying to experiment with is responsible for this poor man's fate."

Although Yang No was smiling, this statement only felt malicious.

"You're being too forced. But since you've said that... Hey, uncle, stop embarrassing yourself."

Chaoyang easily lifted the collar of the middle-aged man who was holding her.

"You're lucky, or I'm unlucky. Take me to the casino~~"

Chaoyang was very friendly, like a good friend, and put his hand on his neck.

"Uh. No, you don't have to come with me. Just lend me a little money."

"Hmph, you'd lose the entire world if I gave you that kind of person. How could I possibly give you money? Your only job is to take me in, watch me perform, and then pray."

"Pray for what?"

"Pray I'll give you my share."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then quickly turned into pleading. He knew that the young man in front of him might be his only savior.

"Okay, fine, I'll take you there! As long as you can win and save my mom..."

The man's voice trembled.

Chaoyang and Yangno followed the man and walked towards the ordinary building.

"By the way, Chaoyang, don't get me wrong. Honestly, I don't care about his life or death, and what he said is most likely false."

Yang Nai narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered in Chaoyang's ear.

"Well, I can sense it more or less. But let's see how it goes anyway. It's just for today anyway~~"

……

The uncle took Chaoyang to the building access control, dialed the number of room 401, and then pressed the dial button.

"..."

Although the call was connected, the other party did not say anything.

The uncle held up a card with identity information and a QR code and placed it in front of the camera.

"I'm Yamazaki."

Then the glass door of the building and the elevator not far behind the door opened at the same time.

Soon the three of them came to room 401 on the fourth floor and repeated the previous action.

"Please come in."

A man in waiter's clothes opened the door and politely gestured for him to come in.

"Hey~~~"

Seeing the scenery in front of him, Chaoyang whistled easily.

There was indeed a different world inside. The room was much larger than he had imagined, probably over a thousand square meters.

The structure inside the building must have been changed a lot.

Blackjack, roulette, Sic Bo, slot machines, Texas Hold'em, and dice rolling are all available.

And there are quite a few people participating.

"Is this probably the kind of place you've been to before?"

Behind Chaoyang's sight was Yang No's sneer. Yang No said with a smile

"Hmm~~ It's a little different, isn't it? Before, the people I played with were basically high-ranking officials and wealthy children. Here, it seems like even ordinary office workers are here. It seems a bit more outrageous."

Indeed, if the casino is only for the rich, it doesn't matter how much money is cheated.

But if it is aimed at ordinary people, who knows how many families will be destroyed.

"Do you want to leave? If you're not feeling well, I can leave anytime. It doesn't matter to me."

Even though she had come this far, Yang No sounded like she was recalling some bad memories from the past.

Chaoyang naturally prioritizes Yangno's feelings.
