"Wow." Arjen said. "Wow!" Alice said. "Looks fun!" Arien said happily looking around. "Right?" Eiji said.

"It's been a long time since I felt this bustling feeling. But since earlier..." Alice thought looking around.

"A forest scent from somewhere...." Alice thought then glance at Arien. "Sister." Alice said gently pull her closer. "Ali?" Arien asked in confusion.

"Did you smell it?" Alice whispered at her. "You mean... A forest scent...?" Arien whispered back. Alice nodded at her. Before they can talk, Eiji come at them with a foods. "Arien! Alice! Try this!" Eiji said give them a fruit skewers.

Arien and Alice take it and started to eat. "Delicious...!" Arien said. "It's sweet..." Alice said. "Gosh~ Arien, you got some on your face. Older Brother will wipe..." Eiji said taking out a napkins but suddenly a hand slide in.

"I will wipe it for you, Arien." Jason said wiping her mouth gently. "Since I'm Arien's guardian." Jason said looking at Eiji.

"You're such a mess, Alice." Louis said. "Sorry, Louis." Alice said giggling at him. Eiji glaring at him but Louis just ignored him.

"Hey, you two. Listen. I'm Arien's and Alice's older brother, you know?" Eiji said glaring at them but Jason and Louis just smiled at him. "The first to wipe it is the winner." Jason said. "That's right, Your Highness." Louis said. "What~?" Eiji said. "Goodness, Master~" Killua said sweat drop at them along with Alice and Arien.

"... Hey." Arjen stop them.

"What are they doing over there?" Arjen asked pointing at someone. "Ah~ that? They're betting with money." Eiji said.

"Isn't that... Chess?" Arjen asked in telepathy.

"I think so." Arien said in telepathy.

"How about you participate it, Brother?" Alice asked in telepathy.

"I want to try it." Arjen said. "Is that so? If our Arjen says so, we should try it." Eiji said. They walked to there. "Hey. We will also participate." Eiji said taking their attention.

"... I've never seen you before, though?" One of the man said. "We don't just accept..." The man said but stop when Eiji show them a gold coin. "Please have a seat." The man said bowing at him. "Let's go." Eiji said. The triplets just sweat drop at him.

"But! You challenger is not me, but this cutie here." Eiji said put his hands around Arjen.

"This pipsqueak is competing with us? Look here, we're great gamblers. A young child..." The man said but stop when Eiji show them something. "Winner gets 50 gold." Eiji said.

"Well, then~ come here~" One of them said. Arjen quickly sit down at there. "Shall I get a higher chair for you, Young Lord?" One of them asked. Alice put her hand over her lips. "They're so easy..." Alice thought.

"Haha. What a jackpot~" The man said. "Don't cry, Young Lord~" One of them happily said. "Like always... They're being careless because their opponent is young child." Alice thought.

"But it won't be easy, though? Since we aren't just young children." Alice thought smirking over her hand.

After a while.

"10 games, 10 wins! It's our victory." Eiji happily said after Arjen beat the man in the chess.

Alice and Arien quickly give Arjen a thumbs up while Arjen give them a peace sign.
