Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Saotome Meari exchanged surprised glances, couldn't help but laugh, and simultaneously burst into laughter.
"I never thought the future of this country would be handed over to such a group of idiots. These guys enjoy the best educational environment, yet they spend all their time gambling..." Saotome Meari sneered.
Since Saotome Meari came to this school, she has diligently listened in class every day, which is completely opposite to Ayanokoji, who wastes all his time in the casino.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt personally attacked and looked speechless.
"I wasn't talking about you, you're so smart, you're definitely not an idiot!"
After Saotome hastily explained, she quickly changed the subject.
"However, even if half of this school are idiots, there's still half that are normal people, right? So, we need to add a rule—each guest can only play a maximum of 3 times per day. This will minimize the chance of the probability issue being discovered."
"How about it?" After Saotome Meari finished speaking, she eagerly sought Ayanokoji's approval, saying triumphantly, "My method can make money, right?"
"It can... but when the secret of the Three-Color Dice is known by most people, their novelty will wear off, and the number of people coming to the casino to gamble will drastically decrease."
Saotome Meari nodded in agreement, "Exactly, so this game won't last long; it's just a temporary way to make money. I'll think of more later."
Togakushi Yukimi raised another question, "But even with new games, this casino's location is so remote, it'll be hard to get attention. I didn't get any gamblers before because the casino's location wasn't good..."
Even now, she was still making excuses for herself, trying to prove that her poor management of the casino wasn't her fault, but due to external factors.
"That's true..." Saotome Meari also looked troubled.
Even she had to admit that the casino's location was very remote, and hardly anyone came.
At this moment, it was Hanatemari Kazura who came up with a solution.
"Actually, I do have a method."
Hanatemari Kazura smiled, "If we want to get attention, we just need to cosplay."
"Young Men Ayanokoji's age like games and anime. They often go to places like Akihabara and Shibuya, where the anime industry is developed.
We can imitate the methods used by popular cafes in Akihabara and Shibuya to attract customers."
"You mean... a maid cafe?"
Togakushi Yukimi pondered, "Exactly, these role-playing shops are indeed very popular with Young Men. I also go to such places to sit when I go out to buy books..."
Hanatemari Kazura looked at Ayanokoji and confidently asked, "Ayanokoji, if you heard there was a casino where all the Dealers were dressed as maids, would you come?"
"Sexy Dealer, dealing cards online..." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded honestly, "If it were me, I'd probably come take a look. And..."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka casually picked up a piece of paper and added the words 'Limited Time Event' to it.
"When I see this, I'm even more likely to come."
Saotome Meari suddenly understood, "Event, limited... those words do sound quite appealing! My mother likes to buy seasonal discounted items at the supermarket, whether she needs them or not."
"Alright, so now, there's one more problem."
Saotome Meari placed her hands on the gambling table and looked at Hanatemari Kazura and Togakushi Yukimi, "What about the clothes? If we order custom maid outfits, it'll take at least until tomorrow, right? And I don't know if the school's shops sell these kinds of clothes..."
"Leave this to me!"
Togakushi Yukimi raised her hand and volunteered, "No matter what, I'm an upperclassman, and I'm quite familiar with the drama club members. Borrowing three sets of clothes from them shouldn't be a problem."
"Three sets? You mean... I have to wear one too?" Saotome Meari frowned.
She had never considered herself when saying these things.
"Of course, Meari, you're our ace!" Hanatemari Kazura clapped her hands with a smile, "With you here, popularity will surely rise quickly!"
"Ace? But I've already lost a million, and now I have to work for free for others..." Saotome laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I believe in Meari...!" Hanatemari suddenly grasped Saotome's hand, "Meari, you also have to believe in yourself; you're truly amazing!"
"...Hmm, alright." Saotome thought for a long time and also believed that she would be more popular if she wore a maid outfit.
She nodded reluctantly, then suddenly looked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and asked casually, "Ayanokoji, what do you think of me in a maid outfit?"
"I haven't seen it yet. Do you want to try it on?"
"Alright then, I'll try it." As if Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's words gave Saotome motivation, she immediately made up her mind.
They got to work without wasting any time. Saotome Meari ran to the school's internet cafe to use a computer to make posters, while Togakushi Yukimi and Hanatemari Kazura went to the drama club to borrow costumes.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, meanwhile, sat leisurely in the office chair, engrossed in the Japanese version of "rainbow toothbrush".
This "rainbow toothbrush" didn't have many words. As Ayanokoji Kiyotaka read the most exciting 'Red Chapter', the casino room door was pushed open from the outside.
"I'm back... What do you think of this outfit on me?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka reluctantly looked up. Standing before him was Meari, dressed in a maid outfit.
She was wearing the same blue and white maid uniform as Izayoi Sakuya, having changed out of her usual over-the-knee socks and into alluring black stockings, making her absolute territory particularly eye-catching at that moment.
She seemed to want Ayanokoji's opinion, so she deliberately placed her left foot on a stool, her right hand on her hip, and held the newly printed advertisement paper in her left hand, striking a perfectly graceful pose.
But she seemed unaccustomed to this style, feeling quite embarrassed, her face slightly flushed, and her gaze evasively looking at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
"It's good." Ayanokoji Kiyotaka chuckled, "It's just... a bit less like a maid and more like a restaurant waitress."
"Hey!" Saotome Meari instantly broke character, throwing the freshly printed advertisement paper onto the table in front of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in embarrassment and anger, "I put on this outfit after a lot of mental preparation!"
"Sorry, sorry..." Ayanokoji raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said with a smile, "I was just joking. Actually, this outfit suits you very well."
Saotome Meari proudly snorted, "When I wear this outfit, the other person will definitely let their guard down against me, and even if I lose, they'll forgive me because of my outfit..."
She nodded with satisfaction, hands on her hips, "Hmm, thinking about it this way, wearing this outfit is quite useful."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka laughed, "These kinds of cosplay outfits usually add attributes. Black stockings add attack speed, white stockings add critical hit..."
Saotome Meari didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all and asked, tilting her head in confusion, "What about the over-the-knee socks I usually wear?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's mind suddenly went blank, and he spoke without thinking, "Oh, those? They add attack count..."
