Beginner's Luck? (ビギナーズ・ラック？), SS from Familia Chronicle Episode Ryuu

"What are you two doing...?"

It was the pub's break time. As she looked at Syr and Bell playing cards on a round table, Ryuu had a disapproving look on her face. Bell looked up and said "Ah, Ryuu-san" with a forced laugh.

"I was caught by Arnya-san and the others...I don't really know how to play poker"

"White hair, avenge us!" "Fight back against her with the luck you won the War Game with! Syr should die!" "It's up to you, Adventurer-kun!"

Seeing her coworkers get Bell involved in their grudges, Ryuu let out a sigh.

On the other hand, Syr, who was sitting across from the boy, was smiling and didn't think she'd lose.

"We've decided that the loser will obey whatever the winner says. Bell-san, I might have a full house in my hand right now."

Seeing Syr mercilessly hunt Bell, Lunoire and the others pleaded to the heavens. "Damn it, another God like draw...!" "It's no use, it's over...!" "You're useless, white hair". Syr, using her "eye" that's able to see through lies, let her eyes gleam at the boy, who was at a complete loss, as she believed she'd won.

The time of the match came, and as she stated Syr had a full house. As for Bell-

"Ah...it's no good. I only have one pair, ahaha..."

Bell laid his hand out on the table with a bitter smile, thinking he'd lost. His hand consisted of a diamond 6, 10, 8, 7, and a joker. Ryuu looked at his hand...and was shocked.

"Cranel-san...that's a straight flush"

The moment she pointed it out, Bell, Syr, and Arnya and the others were surprised.

Just like she mentioned, it was an unexpected occurrence brought about by a beginner who didn't understand the rules that well. No matter how much Syr tried to read her opponent using her "eye", it wouldn't have any effect if her opponent didn't understand what they had in their hand.

"You did it white hair!"

"Yeeeaaahhh!"

"Take that, Syr!"

"W-Whaaattt!? No way!"

Arnya, Chloe, and Lunoire were dancing with joy while Syr had tears in her eyes, their shouts echoing across the room.

After experiencing her first loss, the city girl was forced to deal with all of the chores by her coworkers, who'd taken the winner's rights from the boy.

"Beginner's luck...how scary"

"Hurry up and work!" "Waaah!" The girls' voices echoing throughout the pub, Ryuu murmured to herself as she gave a sidelong glance at the dumbfounded Bell.
