"It's a Pig, idiot~!"
Atsushi stutters in disbelief at the cards that the girls carelessly toss on the table.
A pig?! I-Is this for real?
"A pig?" He picked up the cards and checked them one more time. "You're telling me you betted more than 6 million yen on a poor pig?!"
[Name] returns to her seat while Totoko chuckles amused as she gathers her won chips.
She brings a hand up to her face and lets out a Hime-like laughter. "You helped me a lot by being so air headed, Atsushit~."
"Wha-" The male abruptly shoots off his seat and bares his teeth at the twin tailed brunette. He raises a fist that doesn't collide withe her face because a soft, large hand that drops on his shoulder barely holds him physically back but the simple fact that the dealer Ichimatsu is the one holding him somewhat back makes him stop.
"No violence permitted."
Atsushi clicks his tongue reluctantly cowers back in his seat. Ichimatsu turns to Totoko.
"Same about provocation, Yowai."
"Yes, yes~." She waves her hand dismissively.
He nods and prepares the cards for the fifth turn. Everyone pays the fee to play and Atsushi pulls out a second chip.

He slyly smirks.
Still, gotta be careful.
"Bet, Atsushi, one chip."
"Call, Shittysuke one chip." He weakly announces. For a brief moment, his eyes lock with [Name's]. She smiles at him, and he shyly snapped his head the other way. She sighs.
"Raise, Atsushi, five chips."
Atsushi blinks confused, but mostly annoyed. Totoko smirks satisfied.
Hahh?! Max bet again?! Is she that confident against me...?!
He notices Totoko's smirks from the corner of her eyes.
Those two are definitely playing together, but I can't corner their tactic.
He sighs.
I can't corner neither of them. She could either be bluffing and trying to get me to fold, or she really has a strong hand and tries to trick me in a reverse action-
