The next day after school, the Thieves were back inside Sae’s Palace as they stood behind a large circular table watching how the game with dice played by some cognitive people, as the human-like players lost their money they betted. Seeing how the games in the casino were super rigged, Oracle found a room located right behind the table, where another shadow was controlling the entire game. 

After defeating the shadow controlling the game, Crow decided to bring up an idea he thought of. 

Skull: Whaddya wanna talk about? 

Crow: I’ve devised an easier way of doing this… A way to get all the coins we need. 

Fox: All of them in here? 

Panther: Is that even possible…? 

Crow: It is now. I’ve deduced how to win the games. 

Ace: Then, how about you tell us? 

Crow: My plan is this; We will use the equipment here to our advantage to rig the game in our favor.  

Skull: You can do that!? 

Oracle: Wait, this is a job for me! It’ll be a breeze! 

Noir: Cheating seems somehow wrong though… 

Crow: The odds here are stacked against us. We would never win if we stuck to normal methods. We do not have any time to waste either. It would be best for us to focus on our objective. 

Queen: …You’re right. Changing my sister’s heart is the ultimate goal here. 

Crow: I feel bad asking this, but may we borrow your expertise yet another time, Oracle?

Oracle: I’m game! But man, you sure give a lot of orders for a noob!  

She said smiling excitedly as she did her work rigging the game for them to win in the one room in front of them. They snuck through the door, showing they did anything to the dice games there as they started playing in the room as the dealer was shocked they kept winning. 

A-Another huge win. Congratulations, another victory for your group. 

Panther: We did it! 

Skull: Over 50,000 in one roll! 

Crow: Now we can get a member’s card. 

Joker: That’s our Oracle. 

He said as they walked over to a small machine that printed out a member’s card for them as Oracle grabbed it. 

Oracle: We’re registered. From here on, we can store coins on this member’s card. 

Skull: Nice! 

Fox: Then we don’t need to carry coins on us. 

Oracle: I registered it to a random name, “Tarou Tanaka.” 

Mona: Hey, we should give it a more tasteful name. 

Ace: If we did, then what name are you thinking of? 

He asked as a Shadow dressed as a casino worker approached them and asked about the card’s name. 

Dear guests, did you want to exchange that for a new card? Our casino’s motto is “customers first.” 

Oracle: This time I went with “Shinji Nakanomatsu.” no complaints with that, right? 

Mona: It’s so-so. 

Oracle: Selfish kitty-cat. 

Then I’ll take your old card and dispose of it. 

The Shadow said as Crow glanced at the card it was holding as he thought to himself as the Thieves walked back to the elevator, ready to take on the next floor of games.
