Shael was taken aback by the quick rejection. And I carefully brought out the Serpent Orb so that Shael could see it. I had to warn her that she couldnât just threaten an innocent and young child to do something for her.
Shael, who glared at me once, opened her mouth again.
âIâll give you any amount of money if you agree to work for the Azbel family.â
Kayla turned her head away without listening to Shaelâs words. Then she glanced at me, as if she was sending a signal.
Exchanging glances with Kayla, I said in a tone that seemed as friendly as possible.
âKayla, how about working for my family?â
âAlright!â
Kayla immediately nodded her head.
Actually, it wasnât a serious proposal. It was just a false proposal to make fun of the villainess in front of us.
Kayla seemed to be aware of that as well.
Shael froze for a moment.
After showing a slight grin, Kyla opened her bag and started looking for something in it.
Kayla pulled out a deck of cards. It was a card that felt very familiar to both me and Shael.
It was similar to the card game was played in the inn of the Mage Tower.
âIf you beat me in this game, Iâll do whatever you want! Instead, if I win, you have to go wherever I want!â
Shael hastily nodded her head, and Kayla raised the corners of her mouth.
Like Kayla, a smile also bloomed on the villainessâs face.
At the same time, I let out a deep sigh.
It was natural, because thereâs no way the villainess would play the game in an honest manner.
Even if her opponent was a child.
First of all, the rules of the game were the followingâ each player will hold two bomb cards and ten normal cards, and each player will draw and discard the opponentâs cards.
In that way, the first person to lose all the bomb cards would be the winner.
Shael started handing out cards. I checked the cards in Shaelâs hand through Sight Magic.
She had one bomb card, where there should have been two, and she had eleven normal cards.
It was clear that there was at least one duplicate card.
âDoes she even have a bare minimum of conscience left?â
The answer was, no.
It was clear that the villainess had thought she would easily win by discarding that single bomb card.
Thatâs how the game started. And I carefully observed the situation.
Shael drew Kaylaâs card for the second time. But at that moment, Kayla suddenly rose from her seat.
âI won!â
ââŠ?â
Two out of ten. It was a very tough to pull it off in a row.
Furthermore, Kayla had quickly taken the two cards that had already been drawn and tossed them into her deck.
The stupid villainess became dazed. She had lost even though she cheated.
I quickly turned on my Vision Magic and confirmed Kaylaâs deck.
There were twelve normal cards, and the two bomb card, which should have been there, didnât exist.
Kayla proudly stood tall with an innocent smile.
Shael didnât even consider that a five-year-old could also cheat in the game.
It was fight between a villainess and a bad girl, and the victory went to the cute bad girl.
âBut donât worry, Iâll cook a lot for you later too!â
The girl even knew how to show sympathy.
Kayla then took Shael and me by the hand and led us out of the dining area.
I followed Kayla, who was sticking out her tongue, and the villainess, who was defeated by Kayla, also had no choice but to follow her.
I was highly doubtful that Shael would be willing to abide by her end of the bet, but⊠came to think of it, there was another possibility.
The villainess still hadnât given up on hiring the little pastry chef!
It was clear that she would try to convince Kayla to work for her.
She is only five-year-old, but⊠it seems like I have a lot to learn from Kayla.
For example, Kayla was still smiling innocently, and the villainess was pretending that she hadnât noticed her deceit.
We followed Kayla and left the villa. Kayla walked as if she had already decided on her destination.
There were quite a few teleportation fields in the Azbel family, which was a family famous for their magic.
And, the place Kayla was headed was one of them.
You had to pay money if you wanted to use it.
There was no way that the money would be burdensome to Shael and me, who belonged to ducal families.
Kayla eagerly looked at Shael once we arrived front of the teleportation circle, where we had to pay the entrance fee.
She was asking Shael to pay the entrance fee. She must have realized that Shael was incredibly wealthy through the villa she had been to earlier.
It was a rude request, but⊠it didnât really matter since Kayla had won the bet with Shael earlier.
