Imagine if Cid Kagenou aka Shadow owned a poker casino operated by Lambda and the rest of the Shadow Garden Numbers.

Well...it happened.

On Easter day, Lambda took an unconventional approach to support Shadow Garden's financial needs by opening a poker casino in Shadow's honor. With the assistance of the Numbers, the plan proved to be a swift success. Within a day, they had constructed the casino, and it garnered a cult following from the moment it opened its doors.

To inject an Easter theme, the drill instructor mandated that everyone dress as bunny girls. While Lambda's motives raised some eyebrows, she felt it was a strategic move that aligned with the occasion and would attract more patrons. Indeed, the allure of the bunny girl theme proved irresistible, enhancing the overall ambiance of the casino. Lambda, with her platinum hair cascading elegantly down to her waist and a distinctive coat complementing her bunny outfit, exuded a magnetic charm that captivated visitors.

As the casino buzzed with countless gamblers, profits soared, fulfilling Lambda's hopes of impressing Shadow with the venture's success. Despite her anticipation, Shadow never made an appearance, leaving Lambda disappointed.

"Lambda, why are we even doing this?" Omega's casual question grated on Lambda's nerves, but she managed to maintain her composure.

It was fortunate they were on their break; otherwise, the drill instructor would have reprimanded Omega for her informal tone.

Suppressing the urge to snap back, Lambda swallowed her pride and responded calmly, "It's for Lord Shadow."

Omega rolled her multi-colored eyes in exasperation before retorting, "We understand that, Lambda."

Lambda couldn't help but fire back, "Then why bother asking, Omega?"

The other dark elf simply shrugged her shoulders, a hint of skepticism in her demeanor. "No reason, really. I just find it odd that you went to such lengths for Lord Shadow and Shadow Garden," she remarked, crossing her arms with a deep frown. "It seems rather pointless now that we know Lord Shadow isn't coming."

"Lord Shadow..." Victoria muttered despondently from her corner, her disappointment palpable. The realization that her beloved Lord wouldn't grace the casino with his presence weighed heavily on her. It dawned on her that her sole motivation for participating in Lambda's seemingly absurd plan had been dashed.

Lambda pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance, a faint crease forming between her brows. She shot a piercing glare from her one good golden eye at her fellow dark elf. "Regardless of whether Lord Shadow shows up or not, we still have to ensure the casino's success, Omega," she spat, her tone laced with frustration. Omega's disapproval stare only fueled Lambda's irritation further.

But then, Omega's expression shifted as realization dawned upon her. A smug smirk slowly crept across her face. "Oh, I see it now," she said with a chuckle, her tone filled with amusement and understanding.

"What?" Lambda demanded, her irritation evident as she glared at the dark elf's smug expression.

"You wanted to impress Lord Shadow," Omega stated smugly, her tone laced with certainty.

"What?!" Lambda exclaimed with disbelief in her tone.

"You heard me, Lambda. You wanted to impress Shadow. That explains the casino idea and why you wanted us to dress up like bunny girls. You wanted to show off your feminine side to Lord Shadow. It makes sense why you look more appealing than the rest of us with that look," Omega claimed with a smirk, her words piercing through Lambda's defenses.

"T-That's absurd!" Lambda denied vehemently, her attempt to remain calm undermined by the blush spreading across her face, which didn't escape Omega's notice.

"Your face begs to differ, Lambda," the dark elf teased, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Omega!" the drill instructor snarled, her voice cutting through the playful banter with a warning tone.

"To think the once ruthless Zinaida has a crush on our Lord Shadow!" Omega teased, her smirk widening.

"Shut up, Olga!" Lambda snapped, her cheeks burning with embarrassment at the use of her former name.

"How cute you're calling me by my old name now. That proves you were crazy madly in love with Lord Shadow!" Omega continued to tease, enjoying Lambda's flustered reaction.

"I said shut up, Olga!" Lambda insisted, her cheeks flushing deeper as Omega persisted in her teasing.

Lambda is my favorite elf. Sorry Alpha. XD
