Beta/Draft 13: 𝙇𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙨𝙢𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙡𝙪𝙚

Happy 11k!

Hi, so chapter 15 will take longer to finish so I decided to publish this old draft of what chapter 13 was originally supposed to be!

This is incredibly unfinished! But I gotta feed you guys somehow 😞...

Very suggestive themes up ahead ( ˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )!

Poorly written smut? Kinda smut, but not really?

I'm buffering, help.

This is a shitpost.

"Ooh, girl, I wanna know
Are you ready to cry?
'Cause I'm no good, no good"

Another win for Furina means there's another party at a fancy bar, and she's kind enough to invite me along! Oh and I dragged Arlecchino onto the party as well— with Furina's reluctant permission, of course.

Anyway, nothing eventful is happening other than the fact that Furina is getting herself pretty riled up in the dance floor, and currently she is getting lifted up in the air by Ajax Tartaglia, who was equally but probably more drunk than the actual winner of the Narukami Grand Prix.

Back at the table, there were only five of us who's taking it all in to drink the free beverages that Furina provided. One of them is Arlecchino, and other three were people that I have finally made the effort to remember. There's the two Mercedes, Wriothesley and Ei, and the Williams driver who scored P6, Yelan— who's currently cash grabbing the others down to P10 with rounds of poker that leaned to her odds a bit too good.

"__~ wanna join? Dehya got too angry and decided to quit," Yelan, wearing the ever so sly expression on her face decided to acknowledge my quiet existence. The woman beside her, who I think is the Dehya she mentioned, looked annoyed at what Yelan said and smacked her shoulder.

"She's just enjoying her drink, don't pull her into your rigged games."

"I was not asking you."

I couldn't help but chuckle at their bickering, "I don't have the money to bet on the stakes you are setting on your game. But even if I did, I don't know how to play poker."

Suddenly, Arlecchino quipped up next to me. "I'll help you."

"Oh wow, you're joining us this time?"

"No. I'll tell her how to play as the game goes along."

"Hah, seems like Arlecchino had made a friend~"

"I don't have my wallet." I excused.

Arlecchino rebutted with a shrug, "Use mine."

And before I knew it, I'm holding two cards on my hand with Arlecchino beside me looking over said cards.

The only knowledge I have is identifying what I'm holding, which is a 10 of clubs and 6 of clubs. I'm not that dumb to not recognize what the cards are.

"... Is this a good card?" I whispered to her.

Arlecchino didn't give a confirmation and simply replied with a; "Hm."

I give a small nod, having no choice but to just comply, "ok." I replied in a small voice.

At the conveniently oval shaped table, there are five so us. Which is me, Yelan, McLaren's Eula, Aston's Diluc and Haas' Alhaitham. Much to my amusement, the one who volunteered as the dealer is Capitano.

"Why don't you just play instead of me?"

"Quiet."

The round starts with Yelan and Eula blind betting 10k on the table. Then it was followed up by Diluc raising the bet to 50k, that does that mean he has a good hand? I think so.
