The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

237. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [8]

I cleared my throat, and then dropped my gaze on the roulette placed on the desk.

「In order to control the outcome of the roulette, it is important to understand its “shape”. For example, there’s a little jaggedness in the handle, right?」

「Yes, that seems to be so.」

「It’s gaps to make it easier to hold.」

「Hmm, so what do we do with that?」

The three looked at me with hopeful eyes and encouraged me to continue.

「To tell the truth, roulette with gaps in the handle is the type that is the easiest to manipulate the outcome. So just take it easy and listen to what I’m about to say from now on.」

And then I went into the main subject.

「There are thirty-six small gaps here. These evenly spaced gaps are the biggest “hints”.」

「「「The gaps?」」」

「Yes. There are two points to notes. The power used when spinning the roulette must be constant and you have to slide the exact number of gaps by counting with your thumb. For example, in this case, if I slide ten gaps with my thumb, the wheel will spin for ten laps and return to its original number. Just like this…」

I spun the roulette. And as I claimed, after ten laps, it returned to “10”.

「N-No way!」

「Su-Sugoi!」

「It’s exactly as you said!」

The president, Ria, and Lilim-senpai widened their eyes as though witnessing sorcery.

「Once you know the “number of gaps to slide” and the “influence on the outcome”, all you have to do is fine-tune the millimeters. If you want to advance one tile after 10 laps of the roulette, slide 11 gaps. If you want to go on with two tiles after ten laps, slide 12 gaps. In this way, you can freely control the outcome of the roulette.」

I concluded the explanation briefly, but…

「E-Even if you make it sound so easy…」

「Allen, it’s too early for us who are just “human”.」

「My head aches just by thinking about fine tuning it to millimeters.」

The president shook her head quietly, with a sour expression.

「It may seem difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll be fine. The basics are the same as swordsmanship. Repetitive practice until your muscles learn the movement.」

When you swing the sword, you can’t afford to think about complicated things like when to relax your strength and when to include body weight in the middle of battle.

Us,“swordsman”, train to unleash the sharpest slashes anytime, anywhere.

Thus, we repeatedly swing the sword every day and make our body learn those movements through muscle memory.

In other words, the technique of manipulating the outcome of this roulette is the same as swordsmanship root.

「I-I see…」

「When you put it that way…」

「Certainly when you swing the sword, you don’t think about anything.」

The three, who are accustomed to the sword, seemed to be convinced with the analogy of “swordsmanship”.

「I’ll support you as much as I can, so why don’t you all practice a little bit?」

When I proposed as such,

「Yes, okay… When Allen-kun is next to me, I feel mysteriously motivated!」

「Allen, I will do my best!」

「All right, let’s try it for the time being!」

The three of them nodded with a spirited expression.

After practicing for about an hour.

「I, I did it!」

「I was able to do it too!」

The dexterous president and Ria got the hang of it.

「Gu, gununu… This is hard after all.」

On the other hand, Lilim-senpai, who has a rough personality, seems to be having a little trouble.

Even so, she was able to manipulate the outcome close to the number she aimed for.

「Allen, this is really amazing! You’re a genius!」

Ria looked at me with respect, frolicking like a child.

「Ahaha, I’m glad you’re happy.」

When I see her happy smile, I feel happy too.

「I see. Something like this seems to be more of a technique.」

The president dropped her gaze on the roulette at hand and whispered with a smile.

(Fuu, thank goodness. I managed to make the distinction between “technique” and “cheating”.)

And the moment when I patted my chest with relief,

「Now then, since our standings are equal with Allen-kun.」

「Let’s start the game of Life again!」

「Fufufu, the real game start from now on!」

The three of them triumphantly set about preparing for the game.

(A-Are you kidding me?)

It’s going to be the fourth time I play this Life game.

「E-Errm… A-Aren’t you bored of it? It’s about time we play something else.」

「No. I won’t get bored until I win over Allen.」

「I am the Princess of Vesteria, I can’t shamelessly back down while I’m behind!」

「Fufu, you can’t quit while you’re ahead!」

Their eyes were completely determined, and it seemed like I would be stuck in this eternal loop.

(Should I just lose on purpose?)

No, but the match between swordsmen is a serious battle.

Going easy leads to insulting them.

(What am I supposed to do?)

And when I was wracking my brain over that,

『This plane will arrive in Cherin, ten minutes later. Please wear your seat belt when landing. I repeat. This plane will–』

The in-flight broadcast came at the perfect timing.

「Oh, yes! I’m going to wake up Rose and Ferris-senpai!」

「H-Hey!? Wait, Allen-kun!」

「The game is not over yet!」

「One more fight! Just one more please!」

「A-Ahaha… Let’s do it another time, shall we?」

I escaped from the Infinite Loop of Life Game, and moved to the nap room at the back of the plane.
