"If I'm not mistaken, Duke Remilia, you have a younger sister, right?"

Loki's soft questioning made Remilia lose her cool instantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What did you do!?"

Loki's calm attitude seems to have everything in his hands.

"Don't get excited, I just want to have a happy transaction based on the rules of the blood trade."

This attitude made Remilia a little unsure of Loki's hole cards.

“……”

Behind Remilia, Sakiya sighed secretly.

Remilia's weakness is none other than Flandora......

When it comes to the topic of Flandrew, Remilia loses her usual calm.

If it were another family, Remilia would definitely not be so gaffe......

After all, the strength of the Black Phantom Spirit is not something that ordinary families can shake.

But the Dracula family, a behemoth that has existed since time immemorial, has the power to snatch Flandorow from the Black Phantom.

"Prince Loki, I think it's also extremely important to keep both sides calm during the negotiations."

Sakiya's calm voice couldn't help but attract Loki's attention.

“…… Fraudster Saki Night, the loyal dog of the Red Devil Pavilion, is the head maid of the Scarlet family, and is also the ruler of the correction family, and has a pivotal position in the Scarlet family. ”

Looki couldn't help but think of the maid's information.

"It is indeed unwise to provoke an opponent meaninglessly at the negotiating table. I apologize for the previous faux pas. ”

The sound like a spring breeze eliminated the previous unhappiness in an instant. However, no one knows what Loki's expression was under that veil.

"It's okay......"

Remilia shook her head.

It's just that the uneasiness still lingers in my heart.

"By the way, Duke Remilia would be interested in playing a game with me?"

With a gentle stroke of his palm in the air, a blank note floated into the air.

"The rules of the game are very simple, Duke Remilia, you can write any number of -4 on this note, I will guess the number you wrote, I won't use any ability on the way, how about it?"

Loki asked unhurriedly.

“…… I accept. ”

I don't know what Loki is having. Remilia accepted the challenge.

“……”

As a fraudster, Sakuya naturally understands Loki's thoughts.

Simple psychological warfare, if you don't use the powerful power of the youkai, if you want to win the game, there is only one way to win the game except luck.

"Miss, can you give me this game?"

Loki is not a drunkard, and his real purpose is to learn about Remilia's character through the numbers written by Remilia.

And Sakiya can do it. It is to cover your hole cards with all your might.

"Yes."

With Remilia's permission, Sakiya writes down a number.

-4, if ordinary people don't think much about it, most of their choices are this number.

There's no reason for too much, it's just the first impression of numbers.

And after careful consideration, it will be changed to or 4......

Because taking into account the first impression will choose. In order to avoid being guessed by the other party, the subconscious mind will choose the number that is on the edge.

"That's an interesting number."

However, Sakuya is confident that the numbers she wrote down won't be guessed by Loki.

"Really?"

“……”

Sakuya who has been elegant and calm

I couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Spread out the note, the number written by Sakiya is exactly ......

Don't pick any of the numbers of -4. Instead, I chose this number that is not very popular......

, a symbol of betrayal......

In the Bible. Christ was betrayed by the thirteenth disciple, Judas, and crucified on the thirteenth trumpet.

Sakiya chooses precisely the number that is the least likely to show the character of Sakiya's loyal dog.

And this number does not belong to any of -4.

I thought I would never guess it......

"As a fraudster, should I be cautious or careless if I didn't choose the number 7?"

7, symbolizing luck, as opposed to the calamity of betrayal, is exactly the favorite number of fraudsters.

Or ...... Deliberately? ”

As if being watched by a poisonous snake, Sakuya felt a chill rise up her spine.

"A little trick made Prince Loki laugh."

With a light bow, Sakiya stepped back behind Remilia.

The ripples in my heart did not show the slightest.

"It's okay, Duke Remilia would be interested in having fun too?"

Loki asked with interest, looking at Remilia.

“…… Be my guest. ”

Remilia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

As Remilia nodded, a note floated over.

“……”

Writing the numbers, Remilia to Loki.

"This time I want to change the rules a little, and I will also write a note, and then both sides will open it, how about checking the numbers?"

There are no loopholes in the rules, and Remilia is clear.

Write the numbers, Loki to Remilia.

Nodding, Remilia opened her note.

"The number 7?"

The corners of Loki's mouth lifted slightly.

The number 7, which symbolizes luck, comes from the hands of the devil, while the number that symbolizes betrayal comes from the loyal dog of the devil.

Interesting master servant, but such a result, Loki has already penetrated.

Numbers that have already been mentioned are often selectively skipped, and it is precisely when Remilia notices this that she writes down the number 7.

However, even this was expected by Loki.

"Unfortunately, I won."

Spread out the note, and there was also the number 7 on it.

“……”

"Prince Loki, may I ask a question?"

Sakiya's gaze was fixed on Loki's veil.

"What?"

Loki asked indifferently.

"Prince Loki's note, more than one, right?"

The rules were proposed by Loki, and before that, it was not impossible to prepare the note in advance.

Just because no one mentions it doesn't mean that no one thinks about it.

In particular, fraudsters who are good at fraud know far more about the means of fraud than ordinary people.

"That's a good point."

Loki admitted very indifferently that he had more than one note in his hand.

"So, can I define the previous game as a temptation?"

Sakiya's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.

"Tell me what all my notes are about."

Without explanation, Loki pulled out fifteen notes.

However, after spreading them out one by one, Remilia and Sakiya couldn't help but be shocked.

"All...... Is it 7? ”

I don't know, behind that thin veil, what is hidden......

Cold sweat welled up from the back.
