A/N: Okay okay. I know people are tired of this little Arc thing happening now. I'm going to ask you to bear with me 3 chapters more ✌😭. I genuinely thought a gambling Arc would be cool, but I guess I didn't execute it properly.
Also with the girls as well. Can you guys please stop calling me and Yuzuki gooners 😂. I don't know if it's just me, but this is how i used to talk to my girlfriend before we even dated, so I was basing Yuzuki off myself. Idk, maybe I'm the weird one.
Don't forget to comment, review, collect and send me those beautiful powerstones for motivation so I never drop the book 😁

Emma and Ronda trailed slightly behind Yuzuki, whispering to each other with quick, nervous glances. Their voices were low, but the urgency behind them was obvious. Finally, Emma called out:
"Yuzuki!"
Yuzuki turned halfway, raising a brow. "What is it, Emma?"
Emma nudged Ronda's shoulder with her own, a clear it's your turn gesture.
Ronda frowned. "Why must I say it? You say it." she muttered under her breath.
Lissa watched the exchange with an amused smile. "It seems you three need a moment alone. Yuzuki, shall I wait for you outside? My car is the white SUV in the garage."
Yuzuki shook his head immediately. "No need Lissa. I can make it home by myself."
Lissa tilted her head slightly. "Are you sure? From what I've observed, you have no bodyguards with you… and you're carrying quite a bit of cash. Also something feels very fishy here, I cannot hide my concern."
"That's exactly why I want to leave alone," Yuzuki said with a small smile. "I want to see what this 'fishy' is."
"Yuzuki, that's pretty dangerous, isn't it?" Lissa replied.
He smiled wider, almost playful. "It's fine, Lissa. I may not look like it, but I'm pretty strong, you know. I'm like a hundred guards by myself."
The two bodyguards behind her didn't bother hiding their scoffs, the disbelief loud and clear in their expressions.
Lissa let out a soft laugh. "For some reason… I believe you." She adjusted her bag and nodded. "Well then, Yuzuki, I guess this is where we part ways."
"Actually," Yuzuki said, pulling out his phone, "let me get your number." as he handed his phone to Lissa.
Lissa took the phone and typed in her digits with practiced ease, then returned it.
Yuzuki took the phone back and dialed her immediately so her phone would ring and she would get his number. Her bag vibrated, and she pulled it out long enough to confirm.
"That's my number," Yuzuki said. "If you ever feel like gambling again, call me. I'll come help you. I'll charge the normal rate of fifty percent."
Lissa laughed softly. "I'll be sure to let you know. Well then… until next time, Yuzuki."
She then turned and began walking toward the exit, her heels clicking rhythmically. Yuzuki watched her go, smiling faintly to himself before turning back to Emma and Ronda.
"So then," Yuzuki said, as he put his hands in his pockets, "what did you two want to talk about?"
Ronda cleared her throat, eyes darting away before she forced herself to look at him. "Well… you know, Yuzuki, we were serious about that thing we said."
Yuzuki blinked, genuinely confused. "What thing are you talking about?"
Emma stepped in gently. "You know… at the Roulette table we talked about you taking us home."
Yuzuki stared blankly for a moment, trying to connect the dots. Take them home? When—
The realization hit him like a truck.
He flinched back slightly. "Wait—are you serious? Was that not a joke?"
Emma sighed. "Yuzuki, only you took it as a joke."
Ronda added, cheeks burning red, "We were very serious!"
"No—no, hold on." Yuzuki pointed between them. "You two said it while laughing. Who would take that statement seriously in that situation?"
Ronda snapped, embarrassed, "Well we meant it, okay!"
Yuzuki fell silent, staring at them for a few seconds before slowly pointing at himself. "You two do… realize what my age is, right? I'm waaay below legal age"
"That doesn't matter," Emma replied instantly. "Do you actually care about that?"
Yuzuki shrugged. "No, but won't you get into trouble?"
Ronda crossed her arms. "Who's gonna tell?"
Emma nodded. "Exactly. As long as it stays between us."
Yuzuki gave a small smile, but then frowned, cautious. "If you're thinking about making me pay money… I'm not into that kind of business, I don't buy sex."
Emma scowled. "Yuzuki, we may be escorts but we are NOT that kind of people. Our services don't extend to that."
Ronda nodded firmly. "Yeah. This is personal. We want to do it because we think you're cute and interesting. We don't even want your money. Well… it's not like we'd refuse it if you offered, but you get what we mean."
Yuzuki looked like he was thinking, but inside he was nearly shaking with joy.
This could finally be it. Sixteen years. Sixteen whole years as a virgin.
I can finally be liberated.
Actually… in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't even that weird. Emma and Ronda looked maybe 18–20. So it wasn't exactly crime, it was more like a "gray area."
Yuzuki cleared his throat. "Well… alright then. Let me make a call and arrange something."
The two girls immediately straightened up, eyes shining. They answered at the same time:
"Okay!"
Yuzuki smiled faintly, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.
It rang twice before the person picked up.
"Hello?" Milluki's voice sounded lazy.
"Hello, Milluki. I need your connections again."
Milluki groaned immediately. "What is it this time, Yuzuki?"
"I've got a large sum of money with me," Yuzuki said calmly, "and I need somewhere to deposit it discreetly."
"How much?" Milluki asked, greed leaking through his voice.
"That doesn't matter," Yuzuki replied. "Do you have someone or not?"
Milluki clicked his tongue. "Greedy. I have someone. I'll send you their number now."
"Thank you. I appreciate it."
There was a pause before Milluki added quickly, "Actually, Yuzuki, can you lend me ₩300 million Jen—"
Yuzuki hung up instantly.
On the other side of the call, Milluki screamed, "That mother—! I'll charge him so much money for his operation!"
Still fuming, Milluki scrolled through his contacts and sent the number anyway.
Yuzuki's phone buzzed. He checked the new message and smirked. "That's my Milluki."
He slid his phone into his pocket and turned to Emma and Ronda.
"Well then… shall we go? Do you two have any hotels in mind?" he asked, embarrassed but trying not to show it.
Emma raised her hand slightly, cheeks pink. "I know a good one."
Yuzuki nodded.
And the three of them walked off.
