episode_0115

The purple gaze of the host looking at the people gathered in a hurry feels somewhat eerie.

“Of course, this is not the end.”

“Now let’s look at the second place prize!”

Slurp..

The host continued to explain the second-place product, [polycarbo ore], while frantically showing it.

According to her, [polycarbo ore], which boasts perfect purity, strength, and clear transparency, retains the blue moonlight floating high in the night sky and stores it, shining beautifully in dark spaces.

＂This [polycarbo ore], mined with great difficulty by countless miners, is truly the wish of every man~~＂

“How is it!! “Isn’t this the perfect gift to give to the man you love?”

The atmosphere in the village square became even more heated as loud cheers were heard continuously as the host’s witty speaking skills captured people’s attention.

The 3rd place prize that was revealed in succession was worth 10 gold coins, which is quite a lot of money, but since the 1st and 2nd prizes were so unconventional, the 3rd place prize seemed to have been naturally buried.

＇If the application ticket number is 544… that means there are at least 600 people…’

‘Is this possible?’

The sun, which had risen in the sky thanks to the host’s product subtotal, quickly set.

Flash! Flash!

just as expected.

The various [magic lights] that were brightly illuminating the festival streets began to shine brightly in the darkness, showing off their role as ashes.

＇You’re prettier than I thought.?＇

It was nice to enjoy the winter festival with Sein in such a colorful atmosphere, but…

If I win the first place prize, [Subspace Ring], I think it will definitely be an unforgettable memory. Of course, it’s just my wish.

“All preparations are complete.”

“Finally, the lottery drawing you’ve all been waiting for is now! let’s begin..”

Even though I thought I wouldn’t be able to grab the entry ticket (544) because of the host’s words, I secretly hoped that I would win.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much because I thought I wouldn’t be lucky in the draw.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

The sound of the drums, which made so many people tense, spread through the crowd of people in this large square.

As if he had been waiting for this moment, the host rolled up his arms and showed both hands as if he was not going to commit fraud, and then began to select entries with his bare hands.

Sigh!

The host’s hand moved around among the numerous entry tickets in the translucent box, and then the host took out one entry ticket.

“I will quickly check the third place first.”

＂(61)! We will welcome the lucky winner to the stage!”

As the host said those words, a man who had been running in all directions while cheering began to run almost crying.

Judging by his rather dirty clothes and unwashed hair, Sahwaja, who thought he must have been suffering from the cold and hardships of life, calms down the man who came up on stage for a moment and quietly sits him down on a chair.

“Ha..haha.. I applaud the lucky winner who was so moved that she cried tears of happiness~”

Clap clap!!

“Now then, let’s pick the winner of the second place prize!!”

The host once again grabs the attention of all the audience with his fancy hand movements and then draws out one entry ticket.

Hot!

“We will welcome the lucky winner of number (917) to the stage!!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a person who appeared to be a middle-aged female knight from a distance trudged up onto the stage, received the second prize, {polycarbo ore}, and quietly sat down on a waiting chair.

Significantly different from the third place winner… The host, slightly embarrassed by her very calm behavior, quickly tries to draw the next entry ticket to change the mood.

“Come on, everyone!!”

＂Finally, I will say a word for a moment, leaving only the long-awaited and long-awaited first prize product that you have been waiting for so much.!!＂

The corner of her mouth, visible through the mask, turns up and tries to say something.

“Some things in the world are not made by one’s own “choice.””

“Like this, the “choices” made by others sometimes determine your life.”

The host looked at the third and second place winners, left an incomprehensible final comment, and pulled out an application ticket with the name of the first place winner written on it.

Sigh!!

＂The long-awaited winner of the first prize is… number (544)!＂

“Now, today’s star, please come up on stage!”

Excited.. Excited..

Even though the sky was covered with snow clouds and the blue and bright moonlight did not shine, I felt such an intense feeling in my heart, as if a spotlight was shining just for me.

‘Is it really me?’

Throughout this life and past lives…

I, who had never won anything at such a big event… I couldn’t help the sudden surge of joy, so I just held on to the person’s hand and shook it up and down.

＂Se, Sein, I.. I..＂

Sein, who was looking at me so embarrassed that I couldn’t even get the right words out easily, joins me in rejoicing with my excited mood and gently sends me up on stage.

I feel like my heart is melting again with that kind smile.

“I.. I’ll be back soon. Sein..”

“Please wait a moment!”

Dahyun, who went up on stage leaving Sein behind, had a very happy smile on her face, and as she looked at him blankly… Sein felt something bitter.

‘You’re so happy…’

＇This is getting really difficult.＇

While fiddling with the surprise gift [Subspace Ring] that he wanted to give to Dahyin along with his confession… Sein let out a deep sigh at his indecisive personality.

“under..”

So, I came up on stage, received the first prize, a small box, handed to me by the host, and waved my hand more vigorously than ever before at the people who were congratulating me.

“Sain! Here!!”

just as expected. In the crowd of people, people began to appear faintly.

It was clear that I would find someone who would share in my joy.

‘uh..?’

Her eyes were clearly directed at me.

But at the moment when I felt puzzled by her somewhat bitter expression…

‘That’s definitely…’

Through my {Sixth Sense} ability, I was able to amplify my {vision} by +30% and see what Sein was trying to hide behind.

It’s none other than…

It was the [Subspace Ring] with a blue magic stone that I looked at closely at the {Disposable Magic Tools} store I stopped by in the morning.

“Congratulations.”

“Please wait behind the stage for a moment.”

Hot…

After accepting the first place prize, I decided to sit in the waiting area for a while and wait with the second and third place winners.

I couldn’t have been happier because I definitely won the first prize.

But what are these mysterious, complex emotions?

I immediately look at the middle-aged female knight who won the second prize.

Sigh.

Just like me, she looked like she was deep in thought, so I couldn’t help but stare.

Clearly, the expression on the face of that middle-aged female knight was similar to that of Sein, whom I had seen earlier.

“Aren’t you happy??”

I look at the middle-aged female knight who looks somewhat depressed and begin to ask.

＂It’s fun. However.. there is no one in this world to give this to..”

The loneliness clearly revealed in her bitter expression was buried with this cold, making it feel even colder.

I was speechless as to what to say. Whatever it was, it was obvious that it would feel like pity, not comfort.

“sorry..”

In the end, I just lowered my head without saying anything.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about.. I’m sure you’re blaming me for never giving you a single gift in your life.”

“I feel pathetic for not being able to give you that common ring as a gift.”

Her regretful words made me think a lot. After thinking about it for a while, I began to ask quietly.

＂If you don’t mind being rude, would you like to exchange the product with me?＂

The middle-aged female knight, momentarily surprised by Da-heein’s unexpected suggestion, asks why she is like that… She points to the sullen Se-in in the distance and explains the situation.

＂And above all..＂

“I think you need this ring more than me.”

The person who brought that expensive ring for me.

I didn’t want to know how she felt. That’s because I thought Sein was a very important person to me.

The middle-aged female knight, who understood my entire situation, told me that if I were to change the product, I would go to him while he was sleeping and give him this ring as a gift.

“really. Are you okay??”

The middle-aged woman begins to ask again if it really doesn’t matter.

“Even though the first prize is good, I like her more than anything else.”

“I don’t care about this ring anymore.”

I was already fully aware that this feeling coming from deep within my heart would be the same as Sein’s, so I quietly laughed at this situation.

“Please… say hello to him.”

I gently hand the small box containing the first prize, [Subspace Ring], to the middle-aged female knight.

Dahein’s warm words made the middle-aged woman start to cry, perhaps because she remembered his face after he had already passed away, but then handed her the second-place prize, [polycarbo ore].

＂Thank you.. I will definitely pass it on to you..＂
