They Go To The Poker Table

Everyone at the table stared at Celeste as she walked over. None of them seemed like they were in the mood to compete against her. Despite that, they said nothing as Hifumi sat down. Likely hoping that Celeste will just blend into the background and not actually do any gambling.

She had a feeling they wouldn't end up so lucky. Even if Hifumi is here for research, he likely won't want his money to go to waste and what better way to prevent that then to have the Ultimate Gambler tell you what to do.

"I'm assuming that you want me to help you win here, correct?"

Looking at everyone, it'd be easy. She recognized their tells a long time ago. Even now, she could see the subtle ticks of nervousness on some of them. Ones that would appear again and again whenever they get a bad card, or go against a gambler much better than them.
