So, I found these devices in this store that involve trying to collect these little balls to turn them in for prizes. It reminds me Pinball, but it has no flippers.

... I think I lost or made a lot of money. I'm kind of confused on the matter.

Yeah... gambling is fine so long as you know your limit, and don't spend too much.

It's that gambling makes it easy to forget your limit is why it's banned in many places. It's also rather profitable for the one running the gambling, so where it can exist, it thrives.

How much should I spend if I try it again?

But is there any specific reason Japan bans it, or is it that rationale?

...Uh... I'd probably limit yourself to 5000 yen in a sitting. Alternately we could just buy one and hook it up in the house.

I imagine it's the rational I gave, though I don't know the reasons they had specifically.

No, I like to keep things like that outside the house. Home is where I do my work and research, no to play games for the most part.

...fair enough. Just be careful they don't make a big profit off of you.

Only take the cash you can spend, don't open up any kind of credit, that sort of thing.

With that, it should be fine.

... I can open lines of credit with places like that?

... I wonder if I just said something dangerous.

But yes, they try and get you to spend far, far more than you can afford, after all.

And you've already seen how easy it is to get caught up in the game and lose all track of what you've spent.

How would it be dangerous.

And yes, I can.

Maybe I should build a shock collar for myself.

Hmm. You're right. You're perfectly able to control yourself.

...I don't think you'd need to go that far. Just don't bring a lot of money, that's all. If you lose track, you'll just stop when you run out.

...really, if anything, I should be worrying more about the fact that gambling can bring in some shady characters. I think you'll be fine, but you're probably more likely to be hit on by creeps than you are to spend too much.

Creeps?!

Well, if I ever hit big, I'm probably going to use the money to finance genetic engineering for Catgirls.

Well, gambling tends to draw organized crime, for one...

...catgirls, huh?

... Why. I'm sorry if I'm asking obvious questions, dear. Naive and all.

Catgirls. What about them.

Gambling is easy money. Organized crime loves easy money. Ergo organized crime loves gambling.

Just I don't remember you having such an interest before. ...well, the 'cat' part of the girls, anyway.

...Sigh. I guess that makes sense.

... Boredom? It just seems funny.

So just make sure you can protect yourself should the need arise. Just to be safe.

Fair enough.

...sorry if I worry too much.

Oh, I understand why. But it's not like other men or women show interest in me.

...I think you'd be surprised.

If anything, it's A) they don't know you, B) you're already married, or C) they just don't show it.

And who do you think is part of group C?

...probably lots of group A and B, for obvious reasons.

As for individual names, I have no idea.

I doubt they exist, then.

...I suppose that is the scientific way to go about it... on the other hand, I hooked up with you about the same day you emerged from the tube... not to mention how Kirihana and your sister did with men.

Maybe they just smell your killing intent too much.

I can only hope...!

...though it begs the question why girls aren't hitting on you, then.

They can smell your killing intent.

I don't have killing intent against women...!

...

...usually...!
