Chapter 26 Six (side B)

In the hall, the banquet began. There was room in the room, and I wasn't the type to cringe when I was alone.But boredom is still boring, so I quickly walked out of the hall. The only place to go is Mayakhana.Although I was worried that it would disturb her work, and there were two other people beside me, we had a good chat with those two just now.At that time, Mayaka declared to the two of them: "I'm chasing this guy." It is estimated that after working together for a long time, the three mikos have developed a sense of solidarity—the two of them completely sided with Mayaka.Where are they students?It doesn't feel like Kinabalu High School.

As soon as I opened the wooden door, I found that it was my maya flower and waved.Having said that, just cross the wooden threshold and I will appear in front of the hospitality window.Even if there are fewer customers, it's not appropriate.So I can only try to poke my head into the room. "Ah Fu, look at this!" Mayaka held out a denim folded wallet.Ah, I must have seen this one. "Isn't this Houtarou's?" "Really, that idiot seems to have lost it." "Well, Houtarou has too many flaws after all." It feels like Houtaro is always helping Chitanda-san to solve problems, but that's only because of "special circumstances that leave people with memories".In daily club activities, Houtaro often has to ask Chitanda-san and Mayaka to help.In my impression, this year... no, last summer, when we went to the hot springs with the help of Mayaka, Houtarou still passed out.

Anyway, it's not surprising that Houtaro lost a wallet...Huh?Didn't Mayaka suspect that the handkerchief belonged to Chitanda-san before? "But it doesn't feel right, let me take a look." Saying that, Mayaka opened the wallet.Peeking into other people's wallets is so despicable!But I'm also staring intently, this time... Mayaka summed up what she saw incisively: "One empty wallet." No matter where you put the banknotes or the change, there is nothing, nothing is missing. "Isn't this strange? Oreki also came to pay a New Year's visit, so you have to pack some sesame oil money, right?"

"No, there's nothing surprising about that. Maybe he's throwing all the money away for incense." "You said him?" I also find it unlikely.However, he may have some strong desire.I pointed to the wallet and said, "The strange thing is the place where the cards are stored. Houtaro also has some point cards and membership cards, but there is nothing there." "Ah, um. That's right." "This isn't Houtaro's wallet, is it?" Mayaka denied it firmly: "No, this is definitely his." "……why?" "It's attached to the zip-loop of the purse."

Mayaka took out a ball of paper from her bosom—it was a small crumpled note. After I took it, I understood that it was a divine lottery. "Look." When I heard this, I opened the folded lottery... I laughed when I saw it: "It's fierce! It's fierce! Wow, the barren Nan Shrine is really merciless, there is a fierce lottery!" However, Mayaka didn't show me the bad luck lottery to be funny.There was a wry smile at the corner of her mouth, but her voice was very serious: "That one was drawn by Oreki, 'Bird food is rare' and those are exactly the same. Oreki tied the evil lottery to the wallet, and then lost the wallet."

I see. I realized my brow was furrowed.Seeing me suddenly fall silent, Mayaka said worriedly: "Ah Fu?" "...Then, that's what happened..." I swallowed my saliva: "It's all Houtaro's fault for attaching this unlucky lottery to the wallet. Not to mention losing the wallet, all the contents inside were taken away!" Houtaro is so pitiful, he suffered a sudden disaster at the beginning of the new year. The power of this sign is also frightening - I didn't expect it to really bring bad luck to Houtaro.How can I let go of such interesting things. I took out a hundred yen from my wallet: "Mayaka, let me have one too."
