After that, a bingo game for gifts continued, and after Amelia, Suela received the scarf that Mie-san had prepared for her.

Then Mie-san received the carved wooden amulet that Suella had prepared for her, a common sight at a gift exchange event.

The next person to win was Kitamiya, who received an air-blown charm prepared by Kaido to relieve stress.

In short, it's like a sandbag whose center of gravity is underneath and which wakes up when you hit it.

Kaido said he saw it at Giant's and bought it because it looked interesting.

Kitamiya looked at it, and his mouth was twitching, but Kaido.

You've given something you shouldn't have, to someone you shouldn't have.

You may have forgotten that Kitamiya's been learning from Suela lately to incorporate close combat into his training.

He's sure to sharpen his fighting sense with these tools.

It's like giving a wizard fighting skills, you think, and then you see Kaido smiling in front of you, probably out of the goodness of his heart, telling you to use it to relieve your stress.

In contrast, Kitamiya smiles and says he'll use it to his heart's content, so perhaps my prediction is not off.

You don't think that Kitamiya guy is going to learn the Godblow or the golden straight right in the future, do you?

It's normal for wizards to learn to fight in close quarters, but I'm not so sure about challenging them to a melee just because their magic power is gone.

And then Kaido followed Kitamiya's lead, and he was hit by a disc-shaped automatic floor-cleaning device I had prepared for him.

I thought it was good for Kaido, who is not very good at cleaning up.

I look at the bingo papers I have on hand.

There are, I'd say, no holes.

I've played bingo a few times myself, but I've never experienced bingo with fewer holes than this one.

In the past, there would have been two, three, or even four holes, but the only openings were in the center of the free space and the one that was just recently opened.

This makes me think that they are deliberately excluding me.

Oh, bingo.

Meanwhile, Katsu is next.

Kaido is checking the paper in his hand.

Minami, who is supposed to be the other player in the game, is staring at the bingo papers and seems to be having none of it.

The eighth!

”Oh, my da!

Kaido reads out the numbers that Katsura drew, and Amelia reacts.

”CD?

I've collected my recommendations for music, listen to them!

I'll ask. I'll ask.

Katsura was given a set of five CDs by Kaido, and he looked at the CDs with English lyrics and promised Amelia that she would listen to them next time, as she happily recommended.

Now it was just me, Minami and Memoria, but I knew it would be a while before I won, so I drank my beer and waited for the next number.

Oh, you guessed it.

”Oh, good for you . Memoria.

Yes, it's not easy to hit. I had three reaches.

That's about it. I'm finally reaching for one.

Okay, well, I'll leave you to it.

I won a memoria among the three, so I pulled.

And the one I pulled was .

Mm, mine?

”Is this what Himik prepared for me?

”Mm!　That's some work!　I asked the Lord what to get for Christmas and He said this is it!　First time I've tried it, and I think I did well!

It was a substitute prepared by Himiku.

It was in a red paper bag and Memoria groped for it.

This...

”It's a coaster made of yarn. I've prepared a variety of galas.

I didn't think anyone else would make a hand-knit sweater these days, but I thought a hand-knit substitute would be a good idea, so I suggested it to Himikku.

She said it was impossible to make it because of her clumsiness, but I decided to give it a try and she was hooked.

Although her hobbies include housework and cooking, knitting has given her an everyday pleasure.

I often saw her enjoying knitting in her room with a magazine in her hand, and I was glad to recommend her to others.

The finished coasters are not quite as professional, but they are carefully crafted.

Just in time for the Christmas season, Memoria stared at the winter-related gala of snowflakes and snowmen, then slowly lowered her eyes and smiled.

”Thank you, Himik. I'll take good care of it.

”Mm!

I put the coaster in the bag as if it were a precious thing.

Sometimes I fear that when you have three lovers, the relationship is more severe, but I think we're getting along just fine.

Now let's get back to reality.

What?

No, it's good for the story, but it's just me and South, right?

As a result, the bingo tournament ended up being a dead heat between me and Minami, the unlucky pair.

No, I thought it was going to be like this because of my low status luck.

But what about South, I wondered if he's not doing well on a daily basis.

I'm not sure why I didn't get a hit, that is, when I had a quattro reach over the triple.

If you look at the south bingo paper, you can see holes here and there and some areas that look like they might bingo, compared to my paper, which finally has a single-row reach.

Nevertheless, there is no sign of bingo.

In fact.

I'm off again, that I am.

Me too.

We're still not hitting.

”Will these two end up together?

I think it's over?　Once all the balls are out, it's over, indeed.

”It's crazy that you don't play that much bingo.

There was a light sound, and the number of the ball that came out was a number that did not exist on my paper, nor did it exist on the south paper.

Kitamiya and Kaido shouted with concern at its miss, but I wasn't that concerned.

Well, at worst, you can just play rock-paper-scissors to decide.

”No, that you can't!　There is a difference between me and the leader, that there is a difference in vision and athletic ability!　How many times can you change your hand while the leader is playing rock, paper, scissors, that is?

”Oh, four times?

I will do it twice, that I will. Who would challenge a game that is sure to be lost at this point in time!　It's impossible to change hands while leaving an afterimage, that it is!　Cheat, that is!

It's the result of hard work.

”You're striving in the wrong direction,

I think I could increase it two or three more times if I tried harder, to be exact.

I said a little less, because it's a little difficult to change hands exactly because of the alcohol involved.

Well, I think this story will take a long time if we keep talking about it, so I'm just suggesting a simple, time-saving game that I don't think will pass.

In fact, the south rejected it due to the status difference.

This is the first time you have been asked to play rock-paper-scissors for status ability, but you are convinced that it is true and proceed with bingo while quietly drinking your beer.

I don't win.

Well, it's something like this.
