Miracles and coincidental tickets
I tried to gather as much information as I could and decided to forecast a trifecta box. I decided to buy it with virtual and cerebral currency worth a total of 3,000 yen. That’s a lot of money for me if I really bought it. After a while, Lida came back.
“Welcome back. What’s with the tired look on your face?”
“I had a lot of trouble talking to men. It’s not something I want to be left alone with. But I dealt with them all in Russian and they just looked annoyed and left.”
Apparently, she had been hit on a lot.
Well, if such a pretty girl with silver hair and a dress was walking around by herself, you’d think something was wrong. Oh well, that’s what the Russian language is for.
“So, did you predict anything?”
“Yeah, Oojirou too?”
“Oh, I’m predicting a trifecta.”
“Same as me!”
Lida shows me the mark sheet.
It’s a serious prediction.
Heh, I wonder if she collected some data somewhere.
As I was admiring the race, the fanfare started to sound. The race was about to start and as I rushed to go and watch, I bumped into Lida.
“Oops, sorry. Are you hurt?”
“No, I’m fine.”
Lida folded her arms in some kind of satisfaction.
It’s like we’re lovers.
“Lida…”
“It’s shady and cool in here, right?”
“Oh, yeah.”
As I walked to the stands, the boats were just starting to circle the course. The course was as calm as a swimming pool with few waves, and the boats were blasting through.
“Oh, thought you bet on the first boat.”
Generally, the first boat has the advantage, so they take the lead. If this keeps up, it’s going to be the same as usual. As I watched, most of the crowd had guessed and quieted down – but suddenly the movement of the different No. 1 boat became suspicious and capsized.
“What!?”
“Oh, Oojirou. What is this?”
“…… Oh, this is over.”
I was expecting a solid spot.
I didn’t expect it to capsize and cause havoc.
Ah, I’ve lost three thousand yen.
–The result is that I’m defeated.
Lida also reported that she lost.
“I guess we both failed.”
“Yeah. But we had fun, so it’s okay.”
“I guess so. Well, let’s go to the machine to exchange money.”
We went to the automatic machine and watched Grandma and Grandpa.
“–One ticket returned, amount paid: 773,000 yen.”
Gagaga ……, the machine hums. What? Why does it sound like that? –and wait.
“The payout is 773,000 yen!”
“What …Oojirou. That was a win!?”
“Apparently. But I was only aiming for the solid ones. So, I guess Lida might have gotten a million-dollar boat.”
I can only assume so.
Before the start of the race, Lida had gone away and she must have been making a serious prediction. But it would have been too amazing to predict even a capsize. I mean, it’s a miracle that she got it right. I really wonder what kind of prediction she made.
” I did it!”
I looked at the mark sheet.
The payout was 773,000 yen.
What a surprise to see the prediction come true….
What a miracle and coincidence.
“Lida ……”
“Looks like I’m the goddess of victory.”
Lida smirks.
“But you know what?”
“Then let’s call it a victory for both of us. Would that work for you?”
“I’m no match for Lida. So, let’s just call it like it is.”
When I was satisfied, Lida kissed me on the lips. …… You’re such a kissing demon. I’m not sure how much more this Russian girl can make me happy.
Ah – I’m so happy, I think I’m going to lose my mind.
