As Kenzo saw the readiness with which she agreed to play the game, he couldn’t help but laugh. She even thought about a specific number after all. ”56 Huh?” Kenzo quickly thought about what would happen if she managed to miss after mentioning it. Statistically it was a highly unlikely occurrence, but one never knew how lady luck would treat them. As soon as the girl gave him the go, the male channeled some of his mana into the parchment. Even if he couldn’t use magic, he sure as hell had innate magic power inside him, so doing this kind of stuff was easy.
”Alright.. Let’s see what you got.” In a flash, the piece of leather was instantly consumed in a blaze as magical flames flew out of Kenzo’s palm and into the air. Lingering untamed for a second, the flare formed a number 6 before it disappeared into thin air. The girl was quite confident in her choice and yet, there was a moment of silence.
Unable to help it, Kenzo burst into laughter. After trying to refrain himself from coming off as rude, he composed himself for a bit. ”Well… that was a shame.” A chuckle escaped from his lips unwillingly. Before he could continue though, a small flying beast would suddenly arrive and land in Kenzo’s shoulder. Kin, his winged lemur companion, had arrived with a letter in tow. Immediately understanding the contents of the letter by the seal it sported, the mercenary knew he had overstayed his welcome at the bar. However, he decided to humor himself a bit more before leaving for good. ”Well… seems like my time here is over.” Careful not to stumble around, the blue haired man stood up from his chair. ”Hmm. I’ll tell you what. Since your guess was 56, you technically guessed half correctly. That’s a green mark in my book, so here ya go~” Without thinking it twice, the merc threw a sack full of jewels at the beauty next to him. ”The name’s Kenzo. If you ever wanna pay those back I’m sure you’ll have no trouble looking for me”
Kenzo threw a sack of money at the bartender to pay for his tab too. Even if he’d won the bet, he knew that a friendship with the keeper of a place as visited as the Goat’s Beard Inn was way more valuable. Inns were the best spots to gather intel after all. As for the girl, well… leaving a good impression in a beauty such as her would serve for something right? At least that was what Kenzo’s drunk mind told him. ”See you around…stranger” Flashing a last smirk at the girl, the male bid his farewell as he raised his right hand while walking away. Kin, his flying lemur took flight from the countertop as he followed the swordsman, prancing in the air around him. Not looking back, the two of them left the place. Kenzo had some urgent matters to settle.
