Memory Piece: A Time to Win
The casino that floats in the sky, 'Amusement Palace'…-.
Having come to spend their day off, the princes of Votalia in the Country of Sinner amused themselves on the roulette…
Vashti: "Bet."
Superbia: "Oh, you're betting it all on a single number? That's a pretty bold wager."
Vashti: "Hesitate, and you cannot win."
Grad: "…just do whatever, I wanna hurry and eat."
Acedia: "Yeah, I'm tired…"
Vashti: "Wait just a bit longer. This is the last one."
Superbia: "Well if you lose, we'll have to go without food. We've already used up all our chips."
Grad: "Wha…!? No! Vashti, you have to win!"
Vashti: "This and the gambling hall in the sky are mine. I never had any intent of losing."
Acedia: "Ah…the roulette is starting."
The sounds of betting ceased, and the mechanized dealer threw the ball onto the roulette wheel.
Acedia: "The probability of it landing on Red 1 is about 38 to 1…why did you make such a risky bet?"
Vashti: "When considering probability, there are many ways to play it safe. However…luck is not something you wait for. You must seize it."
Superbia: "That's pretty confident."
Vashti: "Of course. Because everything in this world…-"
Before he could finish, the ball on the roulette stopped.
Vashti: "Belongs to me!"
Grad and Acedia and Superbia: "!"
The ball had landed on Red 1, and the guests around the table applauded.
The dealer moved a massive pile of chips in front of Vashti.
Superbia: "I can't believe it actually landed there."
Acedia: "It's incredibly lucky…"
Grad: "This means I can eat a whole bunch, right?"
Vashti: "Yes, eat whatever you want, and as much as you want. That's why I got so many chips."
Grad: "Vashti…!"
Vashti: "Also, we should call the others. They should be nearby. And if I remember right, there's a VIP room. We'll all go there."
Acedia: "The VIP room…I wonder if it has a comfy bed."
Superbia: "Ha…if I see Grad eating in front of me, I'll want to eat too."
Vashti: "I told you, eat whatever and as much as you want."
Superbia: "I'm on a diet. Unlike you, I have to be careful of what I eat or else I'll get fat."
Vashti: "In that case, you should eat and then exercise. I'll go with you to work out."
Superbia: "Exercise… now that I think of it, I believe this place has a pool. I suppose you're right…just for today, I'll eat what I want. Vashti, you better come with me afterwards."
'Amusement Palace', the casino that never sleeps…
On this enjoyable night off, their fun has not yet ended…-.
