Race 1

[Lunar Knite]

Shirou walks into the betting stations, but keeps back, wondering what he should bet on. He was feeling rather generous, so he needed the winning Grunty here.

[Nue]

Nue was feeling mighty lucky at the moment, so why not test his luck out? Gating into the betting stations, Nue wonders on which Grunty he should take his bet on. Of course, he wanted to win, money is money after all. Which Grunty, which Grunty....?

[Lunar Knite]

Shirou noticed the guy who just gated in, seeing that he was pretty new to the casino, after all, he was it's most frequent patron. "Hey guy! Come here for a sec," he called to the blue-haired blade brandier.

[Nue]

Nue's attention was caught by a red-haired Assault Ace, wondering what could an Assault Ace want with him? However, Nue couldn't just ignore him, that would be quite rude of him to do so. With a sigh, he reluctantly made his way over. Maybe it was because Nue was new to the casino, and this Assault Ace wanted to help him out? Or just scam him for his money? Nue didn't know.

"Hey..." Nue smiled, crossing his arms over his chest.

[Lunar Knite]

Shirou looked him over and did discern that the blade brandier was indeed new to the casino. "You don't seem to know what you're doing, you want some advice?"

Without waiting for a response, Shirou crept in closer to the brandier. "I got some insider information for you. Supposedly Wooden, Poison, and Iron Grunty will throw the race at the beginning, so it'll be just 6 Grunties pulling for the first place: Noble, Bony, Snakey, Aqua, Milky, and Rocker Grunties. With the race stacked like that, you'd be smart to bet on Milky for first and Bony for second."

Shirou paused for a second thinking, "But wait, you're new here and I don't think you're very leveled. Here, take some Credits, I'm making an investment in you."

[Shirou gives Nue 54,000 Credits]

[Nue]

Nue was indeed new when it came to the casino, and needed some advice if it came to winning. The blade brandier nodded his head in agreement, ready to take the advice he was about to hear into account. Without even responsing, Shirou already answered.

The Assault Ace was leaked from the inside that three of the nine Grunties would be throwing the race, which only left six racing for the gold. Nue didn't know much about who was favorable in this type of situation, but he trusted what the Assault Ace said. He would bet for Milky for first and Bony for second.

Not only that, but he also gave Nue a ton of credits. "Thanks... The name is Nue by the way," He smiled, before marching to an open betting station. It wasn't to long before he finished, betting 50k on Milky and 4, 800 credits on Bony. Now, he would have to wait and see if the Assault Ace's words were true.

[Lunar Knite]

Shirou went to the station that was open right next to the one Nue went to. "Oh, hey kid. I expect some payment. I hope you know that," Shirou said, smirking as he handed the NPC behind the window 100k Credits for Milky Grunty for first and 100K for Bony in second.

[Nue]

Great, just when Nue thought he was having a lucky down, the Assault Ace dropped a bomb on him. Payment. He sighed, but it was the least he could do for being helped. Nue nodded his head, hoping to gain more money than he expected. With the bonuses, he could pay the Assault Ace back. That was that.

[Lunar Knite]

Announcer: Oh wow!!! Folks, they've done it! Milky and Bony Grunty have secured the one-two finish! The worst ones to be in the race actually won!

[Nue]

Well, it seemed the Assault Ace was right. Nue smiled happily, looking around to observe something.... Nobody was around. He did a small, but lame victory dance. "Yahho, watashi wa kattaze~!" He cheered.

[Lunar Knite]

Nue will then notice that his credits on hand has been increased dramatically. Nue had won 174,420 Credits from the bet he placed on Milky Grunty and 6667 Credits on the bet he placed on Bony grunty, for a grand total of 181,087 Credits.

Shirou had won 348,837 Credits with the Milky Grunty bet and 138,889 for Bony Grunty bet for a total of 487726 Credits.

Shirou walked up to Nue. "Glad you listened to me? Why don't you give me 80k for my services, I think that's fair."

[Nue]

Nue knew it was coming, but it was fair. Much to Nue's reluctance, he handed over 80k to the red-haired Assault Ace, leaving him with 101,087.

[Lunar Knite]

"Thanks, kid," Shirou says, smirking. "Glad to do business with ya, see ya 'round." Shirou then gates out.
