The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 57 [ Cooperate (3) ]

"Let's bet 1 billion Carmela."

The words that came easily from the woman's mouth, made Ruka and Bere's tension rise. 1 billion Carmela, that was enough to pass one of them in just one gamble. But...

"You think we're that stupid?" Ruka was annoyed.

Bere was just as annoyed as the boy. The girl gave Zeta a sharp look.
"3rd Floor Rule, anything is free to bet as long as it's yours. We don't have Carmela's 1 billion. And you seem to know that. You're after something equivalent to that from us, aren't you?"

Zeta had no intention of denying. Her grin only widened.
"That's right."

Zeta raised both her shoulders and hands.
"Who would expect a rookie to have 1 billion Carmela in 5 days."

Although the two children in front of her were looking at her warily, Zeta could also see that they were interested in the amount of money. After all, she was offering a ticket out of 3rd Floor.

Zeta pointed to a cafe with a glance.
"Want to listen first? My treat."

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?" the woman asked.

Bere and Ruka looked at each other. They seemed to be asking each other's opinions.

"..... Well, if it's just listening first," Ruka replied in the end.

"Is it okay?" whispered Bere.

Ruka gave a small nod, "All things must be settled by gambling on the 3rd Floor. And the gambling can't be forced. It should be fine, Nee-san."
