The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life Chapter 90

ter three days of travelling and being unable to do any real training in such a small cabin, I filled my ti by helping Lydia and Claude with practicing magic. I could at least practice martial art forms, but as expected I was quite bored.

Well I was also still recovering my bones and injuries, but for Milly she was especially bored.

Hey, what do you think of playing so poker to relax?

Milly takes out a bunch of cards she had in her luggage, and passed it on to everyone.

The cards had four different types of suits, with a number from 1 to 13.

In this ga, there was one joker card that was used in order to liven up the ga and make things more interesting.

When playing poker first thing is to deal five cards to everyone, and then each person can choose to chuck out as many cards as they dont need.

The next step is to replenish the chucked cards from the deck, then the cards are revealed and the person with the strongest hand wins the ga.

From children playing this ga to underground casinos, this is a simple and enjoyable ga that has spread around.

Poker? Then, how about we make a rule that the loser of the ga must listen to one thing from the winner?

Claude, I think that you need to nd that bad habit of always trying to bet

I think its a great idea! Besides it sounds fun

For Lydia, rather than caring about winning or losing, she seed to be more interested in developing a deeper relationship with everyone.

Then its decided! The last place will have to listen to one thing from the winner

In the end it was decided just like that.

I definitely cannot afford to lose here.

Five cards are distributed amongst us, and I was comparing the expressions on the three girls.

Milly had a happy face. She seems to have gotten strong cards.

Claude hasnt displayed any change in her expression. Shes unexpectedly quite the scher, I cannot take her lightly.

Lydia has a face of purely enjoying the ga. Whether she wins or loses, as long as she enjoys herself its fine, thats the kind of vibe shes giving.

If soone plays with that kind of intent, there is not much point trying to ascertain the strength of their hand.

As for my hand, I have two pairs, it is neither strong or weak. I can only assu that the three of them have pretty good hands. Leaving my highest numbered pair, I changed three cards in the hopes of obtaining a better hand, but not a single card hit the mark and I was left with only one pair.

I had an average hand and now its beco one of the weakest hands.

Umu, well that did not go as planned. I placed my cards face down on the bed and waited for the other three people to finish making their hands.

Nihihi Looks like youve got a bad hand, Zeph

I will leave it up to your imagination

Zeph-chi the poker face that you try to put on is actually really cute~

Hes the type that isnt really able to hide his emotions that well ne

Just when I was thinking that I was the one observing them They were actually the ones who were observing my every move..?

The three of them finished replacing their cards from the deck, and they would either hide the cards by placing them on top of their thighs, or hide them by placing them close to their breasts.

Just to confirm, the loser will have to listen to the winner right~

Milly was looking at with a joyful smirk. It seems that she is very confident with her hand.

Milly-san, I just want to put this out there but, my hand is actually pretty good you know?

Claude looks at Milly and then right after she looks at and smiles.

I dont really care whether I win or lose. but Zeph-chi your troubled face is making really interested~

Even Lydia was looking towards .

What on earth is this? Have they already decided that my cards will be the lowest ranked?

Did everyone really have that strong a hand?

Having cold sweat dribble down my forehead I was analysing the three girls, thats when the three of them showed the wicked smiles on their faces.

Dammit Dont tell they are going to make do sothing weird

If its Claude that wins I know she wont make do sothing too crazy, but if its Lydia or worst of all Milly, things might get dangerous.

If it cos down to it, I think I may be forced to use magic and perform so trickery

Alright! Then allow , this incompetent Ain-chan to judge the results! I wont allow anyone who cheats kay!

Ain appears without my permission and says this.

Looking at my direction, she gives a wink.

Dont tell , did she read my thoughts or sothing?

Ah, Im sorry Ain-chan. Should we have invited you to play?

Dont mind, dont mind, thanks to this, it looks like I will be able to see gramps flustered expression!

Ain goes behind and keeps a watchful eye.

If even Ain is acting like this, then isnt it going to be impossible for to cheat?

Why is she cornering even more in this predicant.

Everyone, are you readyy?

Im good

Ready anytie

Granpa, are you prepared?

Everyone was looking towards .

Eeii, whatever happens, happens.

Alright then, One, two..Flip!

Together with Millys cheer, everyone opened their cards.

Claude had five cards with the sa suit. Thats quite the strong hand.

Lydia had two pairs, moreover she had lower rank cards than the one I started with before I replaced my hand. Kuu, if only I didnt change my hand I would have won..

Milly had the sa suit on four cards, and their numbers were consecutively: 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Moreover, her 5th card is a joker. She is able to change the joker into any card she desires and with this line-up she had one of the strongest hands.

Yayy! Its my victory

Congratulations, Milly-san

Nn~ I thought that I was going to be the one with the lowest rank, but that doesnt seem to be the case

Milly was raising both her hands up in a declaration of victory, and both Claude and Lydia gave her a big round of applause.

Lydia, if you envy the person with the lowest rank, I totally dont mind it if you want to switch with ?

I really want to see what kind of unreasonable demand Milly-chan will make Zeph-chi do, because I think that will be entertaining in its own way, so never mind

As expected Lydia is just in this purely for the fun of it.

Okayy~ Gramps is determined to be the loser so we shall begin out punishnt gae~!

So that I am unable to run away, Ain was firmly holding my back.

She looked like she was having so much fun.

Is she really my familiar? this punk.

Well then Milly-san. Please tell us what you want Zeph-kun to do for you

Eh? Umm~ lets seee.Nn ~ what should I make him do~

Milly seed to be having fun as she pondered.

This is bad. Her face looks like a kid who is about to play a prank on sobody.

As if she suddenly thought of sothing, she turned to face .

And approaching closely she grinned.

Alright Ive decided~ Zeph, I want you to..

Zuzunn, just as Milly was about to say her next words a big roaring sound shook the ship, and I managed to firmly hold on to Milly who had lost her footing.

Falling down on to towards the bed, the other two girls seed to have fallen flat on their bums.

Wha!?

Did we hit into sothing?

Can you stand up, Milly?

Y.yeah..

While still holding on to Milly, I helped her stand, releasing my hand from her waist, she seed to be a little wobbly as she staggered to regain her footing.

Even now the ship was continuously shaking.

This isnt just as simple as the ship being stranded..

It may be possible that monsters are attacking the ship

No way!?

Lets go outside!

When we went up to the deck, the crew mbers of the ship were already fighting with monsters. It had a white and fat body with many tentacles as its limbs, the head looked like a triangular hood. This is a creature that lived in the sea and occasionally attacks passing ships in a group.

They are also known as Squids.
