Today, I was spending time by myself. The four girls that were usually with me were doing their girl things. They warned me not to disturb them for the rest of the day.

Now, what should I do? Constance left and went to an orphanage, and the people of this house were working. Thinking about what to do, there was only one place I knew where to go.

"C, it's been a while."

Prince sat at his usual gambling machine and greeted me. His mood was obviously good; this would be my third time meeting him. The two other times I met him, he was a chill dude for a man with a rough facial and questionable hobbies.

"Still the same as ever, Prince."

"Why wouldn't I be? Magical Girl Chloe never fails me."

The last time I saw him, he was depressed by the slot machine. When I first saw him, he was up in money. And the money he gained had disappeared in a blink of an eye. I don't know how this man can say those words with confidence.

Since there was a slot machine next to him, I went beside him and played a different gambling machine. The theme was the same but with a different character.

"Is that so? How much did you earn or lose today?"

Prince was already here by the time I arrived. With how much he played, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost some money, but considering his mood, I would say he gained.

"I'm up big! I got a triple bonus with a five hundred times multiplier."

Damn. Just so you know, Prince was a person who only plays in max bet. We haven't spoken much about our background, but with how much Prince plays, I wouldn't be surprised if he was loaded.

"Sheesh. Millions of dollars in one spin, many people would envy your luck."

"Luck? Nonsense. Our bond isn't..."

I ignored what he said as I knew what he would say. Trying my luck, I spun the machine and got even results.

One thing I learned about this machine is I never lose. Every time I use it, the money I use will be guaranteed to break even. So, if I was ever short on money or wanted to find a quick way to earn money, this was the place.

"Magical Chloe, I knew our love transcends even time!"

Looking at his screen, he got a triple bonus. [For those who know who slots, a triple bonus means more spins with a chance of an additional reward. A/N]

The slot machine he played with had eight shapes with a six-by-six board. To clear those shapes, you would need six of the same shapes.

​ Once a bonus multiplier was added, more shapes would enter the fray. Prince here was on a roll. Not only was he getting multipliers exceeding ten times his prize pool, but he would also constantly do so.

"C! I'm getting paid tonight!"

His shouting had attracted the attention of many. Some were brave enough to get over Prince's features came over and watched him earn some money.

Envy could be seen in the eyes of many. Prince had already earned millions, and the spin for the slot machine still wasn't finished.

The casino wouldn't take a hit with the amount of money lost. At most, they would only take a look at the person winning.

By the time Prince had finished all his spins, he had earned a whooping seventy million dollars. He earned seven hundred times his initial spin. After the spin was finished, the crowd dispersed.

"Why don't you treat me to lunch? With how much you earned, it shouldn't hurt your wallet."

"It's already lunchtime..?"

I heard his stomach grumble once he mentioned lunch. He was too focused on the gambling machine to remember to eat.

"Since I'm in a great mood, why not?"

"Magical Girl Chloe, the food ain't going to come itself. I will see you soon."

Saying goodbye to his soul mate, we went for lunch. Prince took me to a casual restaurant that seemed pretty popular.

The menu of choice varied from junk food to salads. Over the month, I learned that food like fried chicken, pizza, and burgers was my comfort food. I'm sure Prince won't judge me for my choice. Lunch was good, and I ate like a child taken to their favorite fast food chain.

*Beep! Beep!*

"Let me get my call."

Prince's phone had rung, and he had gone to a sole bathroom stall to get his call. Curious about his call, I listened in without being noticed.

"Agent P3. What's your report on your target?"

Woah! I didn't expect the first few words to be so interesting. It's either his friend that is crazy or Prince was really an agent of some sort.

"Agent A1, the target is already eliminated. I'm going to take a few days worth of break."

"Sorry, but your next mission has already been decided."

"I should get paid overtime... You fuckers overwork us."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but you know how competent you're. It's a waste not to make use of your talent. The money will be on your card."

For someone with a weird quirk, I didn't think he would be skilled in the arts of assassination. My skill in judging people is shit. To think I would give two wrong assessments toward him.

"Who's my target this time?" Prince sighed and wanted to get his job done earlier.

"You'll be eliminating a corrupt officer going by the name. Iamsew Ded. I will give you the remaining details in a note."

The call ended with A1 leaving the call. Prince came back to our table and finished his food.

"I would like to talk, but I have an important business. Later."

"See ya."

And like that, Prince left me alone. He paid for the meal and did his own thing. I wasn't so bored to stalk him.
