Bababababababam!!!
A loud music sound echoed from the slot machine zone.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes in the area focused on one place.
“Wow, amazing.”
“Crazy, that’s hitting!”
“Isn’t that a famous person?”
“Looks like Lily!”
“Who’s that?”
“Oh, it’s someone famous, a broadcaster…”
Everyone started sneaking glances, beginning to gawk at me.
Half seemed to know me, while the other half didn’t.
To enter Kiki Island, where the resort is, you have to take the ‘Kiki Boat.’
But the Kiki Boat only operates at specific times.
So, even if they knew I was here, it doesn’t mean they could come to Kiki Island right away.
“That’s why I turned it on.”
If there was a way to get here immediately, I wouldn’t have broadcasted to show this place.
If that were the case, the holiday for those who came to see me would be ruined.
“Hmm.”
All the guests at this resort have no significant connection to me.
Among them, quite a few are people who don’t really like games or broadcasts, simply here to enjoy their vacation.
“Is this for real?! I can’t ever hit it even after 30 tries.”
“It hit this time.”
777.
Commonly known as the ‘jackpot,’ boasting the highest multiplier that’s hardest to hit on a slot machine.
I bet 30,000, so…
Zing.
“Oh.”
The card, wrapped in black with a golden stripe, started to turn a part red.
“Uh, how much is it?”
White Autumn asked, trembling.
I checked the back of the card, following the instructions I got from the guide.
“This…”
“Is it 200,000? Wow, 30,000 for a 6x—”
“It’s 2,100,000.”
Exactly 2,120,000 KP.
With 20,000 left, the jackpot seems to be 70 times.
“…Excuse me?”
“Yes.”
“Excuse me?”
“Yes.”
“…….”
“Should I give you some?”
“I love you.”
After giving 100,000 KP to White Autumn, I returned to the front desk.
As soon as the guide saw me, they received the card as if they had been waiting, took some action, and returned it to me.
“Confirmed. From now on, you can use a wider variety of facilities.”
“Thank you.”
As I bowed my head, White Autumn next to me also nodded politely.
With 150,000 left, White Autumn didn’t seem satisfied and didn’t change anything separately.
“Shall we go to where Joah is? Joah has already saved up 300,000 and leveled up!”
“Right. This time, will you get it yourself?”
“Hah! I’ll show you. The slot machine was just a bit unlucky. A little skill and…”
■
“Lily Elbrite’s victory.”
“?”
“Oh no, again…”
“Twenty-one, huh.”
Got another win.
Kiki.

Receiving cards from the dealer and summing up the numbers to make twenty-one in Blackjack.
The rules aren’t too difficult, and I quickly got the hang of it in just a couple of rounds…
“Wow…”
“Sis, amazing!”
This time, Joah joined us, and we played at the same table.
For reference, there were other players at the table too, and surprisingly, one of them kept hitting twenty-one, wiping the table clean before casually leaving.
That’s suspiciously lucky.
“Are you using any secret techniques or something?”
“Of course not. It’s all blocked.”
Since we’re under the control of the ‘system’ of this dungeon, all skills, techniques, or items that could swindle aren’t available to use.
Sure, I could break through that with a bit of power, but I didn’t think it was necessary.
I came for fun, so there’s no need to strain myself.
“Isn’t that person winning a bit too much?”
“Well, a game is a game.”
Even if I came for fun, I couldn’t just let luck go to waste, could I?
Gotta win every chance I get.
Joah looked at my cards with a curious expression.
“So, how much do you have right now?”
“Right now…”
[Current KP: 8,670,000]
“Eight million? I’m not sure how much that is.”
“Wow. How many times is that over mine?”
“At this rate, you might hit ten million!”
Joah and White Autumn were currently on par with the money I gave them and what they won on their own.
Of course, I was way above them.
It might seem like a lot, but I’m not at the very top either.
Especially considering that the colors of the cards weren’t completely red yet…
“Shall we go for a bigger win this time?”
“Bigger?”
“Yeah.”
A space a bit ‘further back’ than the one in front.
Originally, I wouldn’t have been able to enter due to rank restrictions, but now it’s possible.
If a companion with a suitable rank is with me, then it works.
“Ooh! Sounds great!”
“Let’s sweep the casino today!”
Kiki.
■
A space with a chilling sensation.
The dealer with seven strawberries quietly moves their hands, and I opened my mouth.
“Red, sixteen.”
“Gah.”
“My feeling says black, twenty-four…”
“That girl has been winning non-stop since earlier.”
“Can’t you convince Lady Lily?”
Ignoring the murmurs of the now-growing crowd, the roulette wheel spins.
Ding ding ding~♬
Glug.
The result was, of course…
“Red 16.”
“WOOOOO!!!”
“Is this seriously not a bug?! How do I keep hitting this every time…”
“There are no errors on Kiki Island.”
The dealer firmly shook his head and accepted my card, giving me the KP.
[Current KP: 28,900,200]
Now, the card was completely soaked in red.
A strange aura was emanating from the golden ribbon wrapped around the red card.
At this point, I should start getting suspicious.
“I’m ridiculously lucky.”
Celestial beings receive extraordinary enhancements in physical abilities, senses, magical power, and all other aspects, but ‘luck’ is the exception.
Celestial and demon races are not specialized in
Of course, there are those born lucky due to their powers, but I was not one of them.
I actually consider myself somewhat unlucky.
“There have been too many things happening for me to call it luck.”
If there were any luck to begin with, I wouldn’t have gone through such things.
So, this absurd luck now must come from somewhere else.
First off, this isn’t my own ability.
I haven’t used any holy or other magical techniques to the maximum, nor did I violate the system in any way.
Yet, if these things keep happening, it means it’s the system’s intent.
Suddenly, I recalled the message from when I first entered.
[Tip: Kiki Island is a tourist island remodeled from a deserted island with special secrets. It offers appropriate heat and cool views during the day and refreshingly cool winds with beautiful constellations at night. Beware! Kiki Island has many secrets, but there’s no need to dig them up.]
[The secrets of Kiki Island are being kept. Stats increase slightly at certain conditions randomly.]
Kiki Island has many secrets, and the more they are kept, the more stats increase.
[Agility has increased by 0.3.]
Even now, my stats are rapidly rising.
Considering all this…
“…My luck is connected to the secrets of Kiki Island.”
One of Kiki Island’s secrets triggered my luck, and since this phenomenon is a natural occurrence and not a ‘bug’ of Kiki Island, the dealer doesn’t react at all.
“…Then why did it give me this?”
“Yes?”
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing.”
Whatever it was, I was heading to the lobby desk with Joah and White Autumn.
Originally, I was supposed to go to the desk every time there was a change, but since I hit it so many times, I decided to go all at once.
“Hm?”
“Who are you?”
As I headed to the lobby desk, there was someone else standing there besides the guide.
A guide who was a whole head taller than the shorter one.
Despite that, he was still short, similar to Joah, but he radiated a distinctly different aura.
Swish.
Above all, the badge hanging on his chest was different from any I had seen before.
‘A big strawberry.’
I’ve never seen this kind on the island so far.
“Lily Elbrite?”
“Yes.”
“Please give me your card.”
I handed over the card without a second thought.
The other guide took the card, touched it with his palm as if confirming something, and nodded.
Thud.
The card was placed on the desk.
“Follow me. The queen is looking for you.”
“…Huh?”
“Us too?”
Before I could even ask, the man vanished into the darkness.
As we stood there dazed for a moment, the original guide also nodded.
“Yes. All three of you, please move.”
Kiki.

We followed through the deep darkness.
It was a dark path where not even a smidge of light entered, but that didn’t matter.
“Your eyes are shining, sister.”
Since everything was visible and Joah and White Autumn were only following behind me, it wasn’t a problem.
“…But why did he say to follow and then go first?”
“Is he mad because it’s too hot? Right? The boss seems to be a bit annoyed because it’s too hot.”
“Come on. At a resort like this, he should be making a ton.”
I thought the amount I earned wasn’t that much anyway.
Besides, if Apple Flavor’s guess about the badge and my peculiar luck being the secret of Kiki Island is true…
“Ugh!”
Joah let out a sound of discomfort.
In an instant, the space brightened.
We entered a brightly lit mansion with a luxurious atmosphere, completely different from inside the casino.
The man who arrived first stopped us before a grand door.
“Please wait here.”
“Huh? We want to go too…”
“Go ahead, sister.”
“Yes. I’ll be back.”
“Aww.”
Leaving Joah and the disappointed White Autumn behind, I stepped inside.
Under a sparkling chandelier, there sat a woman in a chair made of gold.
Whether it was bold or just considered normal, the woman’s outfit was so daring that a regular man wouldn’t know where to look.
“……”
I just stared.
Above all, the strawberry badge pinned on the woman’s chest was exceptionally special.
