Although Shizuku said she was going to New York or Los Angeles, after she left Elm Street, her next stop was... Las Vegas.

“Hahahahahaha, I win again!!”

Looking at the slot machine in front of her, Shizuku couldn't help but laugh out loud, while the casino manager next to her was already pale and sweating. It was because this girl had only played three slot machines since entering the casino, and she won a jackpot of 20 million each time!!

This is crazy!!!

When the lottery was won for the first time, the casino manager was very happy. After all, for a casino, occasionally winning a big prize is more likely to arouse customers' desire to consume.

But when he won the prize for the second time, something was wrong in his eyes.

And now for the third time...

What the hell is going on?

The casino manager looked pale as he watched this scene. He couldn't even suspect that the other party was cheating or violating any rules, because this was not blackjack or roulette, but a slot machine. As we all know, the slot machine program is set by the casino itself, let alone hacking into it, even if you want to change it, it is impossible!

Moreover, everyone saw the other party's actions. He chose three different slot machines in three rounds, but he didn't do anything. He just pulled the handle, and then the slot machine started to spin and spit out the jackpot. Everyone saw all this. If you insist on saying that the other party did something wrong, no one would believe it, right?

"Miss, do you want to play again?"

While gesturing to the security captain behind him, the casino manager walked over with a fake smile and asked in a low voice. He had already made up his mind that if the other party continued, he would have to take some tough measures.

"No."

Shizuku waved her hand and glanced at the casino manager.

"It seems that your casino is also a pauper. Give me these chips to exchange. There is another one waiting for me."

That's right, this is Shizuku's way of venting. What should I do if I fail to hit the target twice? This evil fire must be vented!

After thinking about it, it must be the United States where the people are not talented and the environment is not good, which is why I messed up!

So as revenge, Shizuku's method is to visit all the casinos in Las Vegas and make the whole of Las Vegas go bankrupt earlier than Detroit! ! She doesn't care about those casinos. If they dare to cause trouble to her, Shizuku will ensure that they will not live until dawn. As for whether those casinos will block people at the door, Shizuku doesn't care. She has plenty of ways to sneak into the casino when the other party is not paying attention. In fact, after that, there were a few times when the other party even sent a large group of strong men in black to guard the door, but Shizuku still easily sneaked into the casino, and after winning the jackpot with the slot machine, she withdrew, leaving only a mess.

"Um……!"

Walking out of the casino again, Shizuku stretched comfortably and then looked at Tamamonomae beside her.

"Well, Jade, let's go to the next one... huh? What's wrong?"

At this moment, Shizuku found that the little golden-haired girl beside her raised her head curiously and stared at the top of the casino. When she heard Shizuku's question, Tamamonomae turned around and looked at Shizuku.

"There is singing...very nice..."

"singing?"

Shizuku listened carefully and indeed heard a faint humming sound in the breeze, which sounded quite beautiful and pleasant.

Not only that, this song...

Um?

Hearing this, Shizuku raised her eyebrows. She could feel that there was some kind of life force contained in this singing. Simply put, it was very similar to the feeling of those idol singers in the main world and the Gundam world giving others buffs when they sang.

There are people like this in this world? Could it be related to the fragments?

"Let's go up and take a look."

As she spoke, Shizuku grabbed Tamamonomae's hand, and the next moment, the two of them disappeared into the street in an instant.

In an instant, the scene changed, and in the blink of an eye, the two moved from the street to the balcony on the top floor of the casino. In addition to being used for gambling, this casino also functions as a hotel. Obviously, this should be the luxury suite on the top floor of the hotel.

The lights in the suite were not on at the moment, but under the neon lights of Las Vegas, one could still see clearly what was going on inside. A girl in white pajamas was standing in front of the window, staring at the night view outside the window and singing in a low voice. Although I didn't know what she was singing, it sounded very calm and moving.

After a while, the girl finished singing the song and stopped, and at this time, Shizuku also clapped.

"Pah pah pah pah."

Seeing Shizuku clapping, Tamamonomae also clapped along. The sudden applause startled the girl, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, only to find Shizuku and Tamamonomae who had appeared on the balcony without her knowing. This made the girl step back in surprise.

"You, who are you?"

"Ah, sorry, we are just passers-by."

In response to the girl's question, Shizuku smiled and waved her hand.

"We came here to enjoy your singing because we heard you singing. You sang really well... Ah, do you mind if we disturb you for a moment?"

As she spoke, Shizuku brought Tamamonomae to the balcony door. Looking at the two of them, the girl hesitated for a moment, then opened the balcony door.

"Please, please come in..."

"Then we'll be sorry to bother you."

Shizuku brought Tamamonomae into the room, then sat on the sofa opposite the girl, staring at her with a smile.

"My name is Kasugano Shizuku, and she is Tamamonomae. We are from Japan. What is your name?"

"I……"

Facing Shizuku's question, the girl seemed a little timid.

"My name is Esmaria Handlink."

“You don’t look American.”

As Shizuku spoke, she looked at the girl in front of her curiously. She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. Unlike the American JC that Shizuku had seen before, who looked to be in her mid-twenties, this girl looked younger. She also had waist-length silver-white hair and a pair of beautiful burgundy eyes. Both her dress and her tone of voice sounded completely different from those of an American.

"I'm from... Portugal, and I'm the lead singer in a small theater group..."

"Small theater troupe? How can they be called a small theater troupe if they can book the presidential suite here?"

Shizuku looked around curiously. This was the presidential suite of a high-end hotel in Las Vegas. Not to mention some small theater in Portugal, even wealthy businessmen from other countries might not be able to afford it.

But then again, the name Esmaria sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before...

“…”

After hearing Shizuku's words, Esmaria lowered her head and said nothing. Shizuku smiled slightly at her expression.

"It seems like you have some troubles. Why don't you tell us about it? Maybe we can help you."

"Hey? Help...me?"

"That's right."

Facing Esmaria's puzzled look, Shizuku patted her chest vigorously.

"As a reward for letting me hear a great song, I can fulfill one of your wishes. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter."

"Whatever wish you have... is fine?"

"Um."

"That……"

Facing Shizuku's gaze, Esmaria hesitated for a moment, but finally she bit her lip, raised her head as if she had made up her mind, looked at Shizuku and spoke.

"Can you take me...away from here?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Shizuku was stunned for a moment, then she stood up, smiled and extended her hand to the girl in front of her.

"Of course."

Looking at the hand that Shizuku extended, Esmaria hesitated for a moment, then took her hand and stood up. Then, Shizuku led Esmaria out of the room and returned to the balcony with Tamamonomae.

"Big sister, how are we going to leave?"

Esmaria looked at Shizuku beside her in confusion. To be honest, she didn't even know how the two of them appeared. You know, this hotel is the tallest building in Las Vegas, and there shouldn't be any other buildings around. In fact, she wanted to leave several times, but she didn't know what to do.

Originally, Esmaria thought that this mysterious elder sister would lead her out through the door, but this was...

"You'll know in a moment, don't worry, there will be no problem."

As she spoke, Shizuku brought Esmaria to the balcony, and at this moment, suddenly, something strange happened.

The demon statues that looked like decorations on the roof of the hotel suddenly turned around as if they had life and stared at the three people fiercely. Then they suddenly spread their wings and jumped down from the eaves, blocking the three people directly on the balcony.

“What, what is this!?”

Seeing this, Esmaria's eyes widened in surprise, and she nervously grasped Shizuku's hand, staring at the monster outside. Shizuku looked around boredly, then sighed helplessly.

"Ah... I knew something was wrong a long time ago. I thought you would pretend not to see it. Never mind..."

As she spoke, Shizuku raised her right hand.

"Since you won't cooperate, I'm sorry, but I can only ask you to leave!"

As Shizuku finished speaking, the next moment, the demon statues roared and pounced on Shizuku with their fangs and claws bared. At the same time, Esmaria closed her eyes tightly and screamed in shock.

"ah--!"

"Don't scream, be careful about biting your tongue."

At this moment, Shizuku's voice appeared in Esmaria's ears, and then the girl felt as if her body was held up by someone, and then a strange feeling of weightlessness suddenly emerged, and the sound of whistling wind came from her ears. At this moment, Esmaria could no longer suppress her curiosity, and subconsciously opened her eyes and looked forward.

Then she was stunned.

What she saw in front of her was no longer the bright and bustling Las Vegas, but a dark night sky and earth. Looking down, she saw the lights of Las Vegas below her, like a small bonfire - it looked like she was looking down from an airplane.

“What on earth is this…”

Esmaria turned her head to look at Shizuku in surprise, and then she found that the blonde girl was also lying on Shizuku's back, holding her shoulders with both hands. Shizuku seemed to be flying in the sky like a cloud.

"How is it? It's very interesting."

Noticing Esmaria's gaze, Shizuku smiled slightly.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but let's get out of here first."
