MAIN STORY : CHAPTER 3 PART 2
━
?? : This is the main floor. EMMA : ( This is the Primus Club...) ?? : Oh, my. Is this your first time in such a place? You can't look so tense in front of the customers. EMMA : Yes sir!
*FLASHBACK*
ROUGE : Actually, one of my drinking buddies is a member of the Primus Club. He told me that there's been some trouble lately and they have a vacancy in the casino that they can't find anyone to fill. Well, it's a shady place, you have to choose the right person~
ROUGE : Perhaps I could speak with him for you?
*END FLASHBACK*
EMMA : (I never thought he would really work something out.) VICTOR : My name is Victor. I'm a bartender at the bar in the casino. Nice to meet you. EMMA : It's nice to meet you too. You are a friend of Mr. Rouge, aren't you? VICTOR : I don't know if I'd call us friends. I've been known to make him a few drinks after a big loss. At times I give them to him for free because I feel sorry for him. He offers to return the favor, but he never has. GRANDFLAIR : ........ VICTOR : But Rouge has a great singing voice, doesn't he? So sometimes I ask him to sing for me at the bar...
EMPLOYEE 1 : Excuse me, Victor. May I have a moment? VICTOR : What's up? I'm showing the new girl around, so make it quick. GRANDFLAIR : For once, Rouge's façade has saved the day. SION : Why am I doing this?
GRANDFLAIR : I'm afraid we just don't have anyone in our guild who is capable of serving customers properly. SION : Why do I doubt that? EMMA : But Sion, I think you look good in that outfit! SION : What!? That's not the point. You need to pull yourself together. We're not here to have fun. He's right. The purpose of this operation is to successfully maneuver around and get information on the Bloody Lady. Are they really distributing guns, and if so, what is their purpose? Est and Gui are staying behind in Sorciana to find out more about the whereabouts of Nanashi and the guns.
VICTOR : Sorry to keep you waiting. EMMA : No. Um... EMMA : (I'm told there are members of the Bloody Lady in the Primus Club.) EMMA : Who are the other members? I heard that there are five Meisters, if I remember correctly. VICTOR : I think you'll know when you see them. EMMA : Eh?
WOMAN 1 : Hey, Ymir. You're going to stay with us until morning, right?
YMIR : Of course. I've been looking forward to spending time with all of you. You're not that good at handling your alcohol, are you? WOMAN 2 : I'm totally fine! I've been practicing for today. WOMAN 3 : Oh yeah! I'll drink plenty! YMIR : I'm proud of you for practicing. You're really cute. WOMEN : Kyaaaaa~! EMMA : (He is dazzling.)
VICTOR : Meet Ymir, our top escort. When it comes to entertaining women, he's the best in the world. As the women's shrill voices fade into the distance, cheers erupt from the far end of the room. EMMA : (Is that the pool table?)
MALE 1 : Wow! Another one! How many times has he done that? You can't even complete! MALE 2 : That's our new number one pool shooter, Len! He's even better than the rumors say.
LEN : Ha. I thought maybe you'd have some serious skills, but you're not as good as you say you are. I feel sorry for the cue that's being used by people like you.
MALE 3 : What a little brat! How dare you talk to a customer like that? LEN : Oh? You think that a guy who can't even behave himself is a customer? He yells under his breath, puts out his cigarettes on the table, and gets pissy when I foul him. Oh, and I'm not a fucking brat! MALE 1: Oh yeah, that's right, it's annoying! MALE 3 : I will never come back to a place with a little brat like you! LEN : Grr! Wait a sec! I'm not a fucking brat! Damn it, you said it twice! I'm adding you to my revenge list! VICTOR : Ahh. That Len fellow's at it again. EMMA : That man... VICTOR : He is also one of the Primus Club Meisters. Len the pool shooter. As you can see, he's a little shit. SION : Hey, there's a strange customer over there. Shouldn't you be kicking him out?
?? : ........ VICTOR : Oh, Seven. We can't have you wandering around during business hours. Len! If the game is over, take care of Seven for me! LEN : What? Why me!? VICTOR : It's your job to take care of Seven, isn't it? LEN : What are you doing, you idiot!? SEVEN : ...Len.... LEN : Hey, Seven! Don't just stand there! SEVEN : ...Maybe it's time for dinner. LEN : You're a fucking idiot! Shit, button it up, your collar is saggy! SEVEN : I'd rather have meat than fish today..... Yes, meatballs... LEN : Just come here....! GRANDFLAIR : He's also a Primus Club member? VICTOR : Yes. He used to be one kick-ass gambler, Seven. EMMA : (Used to be?) VICTOR : I can tell you wanna ask a bunch of things, but I don't have all the answers. I would like to introduce you to one more person. ?? : Hahahahaha!! Without pausing for breath. This time, from the poker table, there was laughter that shook the entire floor.
