...That's why they say that in both games and life, sometimes losing is winning and winning is losing.
I sigh as I touch my wallet that is obviously thinner than it was five minutes ago.
I eat dessert in Éternité like usual and am playing Friendly Match in an online mahjong game. To my surprise, I'm so lucky today that I won several games in a row. Amidst the enthusiastic praising of Nana Shiraishi, who is playing opposite me in the mahjong game, I stupidly set myself up with the flag: "If I win another round, I'll treat her and the members of the swimming club to afternoon tea."
It's too late by the time I realize what I've done.
As I pay the bill in front of the cashier, I feel like I can already hear Nana Shiraishi's happy laughter when she picks up the takeaway meal...
*Jingle*...
Ah, that sounds as clear and melodious as the wind chime that rings when the door of Éternité is opened.
[Chiori Mikami]...PLAYER?
The girl's slightly surprised voice catches my attention. The two people who entered the store are Chiori Mikami and Riu Kujou.
[player]Hi! It's such a coincidence to meet you here, Chiori and Riu. It's been a while since I've seen you at a mahjong table. What are you up to?
[Chiori Mikami]Riu... Since it's such a coincidence, let's try it out with PLAYER first.
[Riu Kujou]Yes, Miss Chiori. We'll try it out with PLAYER first.
I feel a little uneasy with both Riu Kujou and Chiori Mikami looking at me.
[player]...Let me tell you a joke. Usually, when a player encounters an NPC saying something incomprehensible like this in a game, it means that an unexpected plot development will be triggered. Are you sure you're not simulating this experience with me?
[Riu Kujou]PLAYER, please answer my questions.
[player]...What? You're really doing that? Where did you get that paper from? Why are you suddenly asking me questions?
[Riu Kujou]Question one. What is Miss Chiori's favorite coffee bean?
Well, regardless of the reason, Chiori Mikami's favorite coffee bean... Where did I see the answer to this question?
