Character Story 3: Where Did Lady Luck Go?
Yuuki was walking through town, when...
Yukari
Mrrrgh... It really is cute... If it was just a little cheaper, I might be able to afford it...
Yuuki
1. "Yukari?"
Yukari
Huh? Ah... Yuuki! H-Hello there!
Yukari
U-Um, about before... Ehehe, I really embarrassed myself by drinking too much...
Yukari
I know you said it before, but... I'm really glad you don't dislike me... A-Ahaha...
Yuuki
1. "I don't dislike you at all."
2. "I am a little disillusioned."
Option 1.
Yukari
I-I see... Ha ha. Thank you!
Yukari
I'm glad. Glad that you brought me back home, too... Well, never mind that.
Option 2.
Yukari
N-No way...! M-My life is over...
Yukari
Wait, you were joking...? You don't dislike me at all? C-Come on! You shouldn't tease your big sister like that!
End of branches.
Yukari
Huh, what am I doing? Well, I was in the middle of shopping, but...
Yukari
Take a look at that accessory in the armory! It's cute, don't you think?
Yukari
But... The kicker is the price underneath it...
Yukari
It's expensive, no matter how you look at it... And as the guild accountant, I can't waste money... So all I can do is look longingly at it from here.
Yukari
Sigh... I'd really like it...
The next day. Yuuki was passing by the front of the same armory, when...
Armory Shopkeeper
Thief!!
Thief
Ha ha ha! All your profits belong to me now!
Yuuki
1. Stop him!
Thief
What? You wanna get in my -- guh!
Later.
Armory Shopkeeper
Thank you! Thank you so much! If that thief had stolen all of this month's earnings... I would've gone bankrupt! I owe my livelihood to you!
Armory Shopkeeper
As thanks, I'll give you any one of the products in my shop as a present! Please, pick whatever you want!
Yuuki
1. "In that case..."
The next day, Yuuki was out looking for Yukari...
Yukari
Ah, Yuuki...
Yukari
Eh... I look depressed? Heh, sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.
Yukari
The truth is, today... I was planning to buy that accessory. I'd saved up enough money, and I headed down to the shop excitedly...
Yukari
But someone had already bought it. I'd really wanted it, but... In the end, I couldn't get it.
Yukari
I guess there's nothing I could do about it. Some things just aren't meant to be. I'm sure that accessory belongs to some normie who got her boyfriend to buy it for her...
Yukari
There's no one out there like that for me, so... I guess I just have to deal with it.
Yuuki
1. "I have a present for you, Yukari."
Yukari
Huh... A present? For me?
Yukari
... W-What? This is... the accessory I wanted...!
Yukari
D-Don't just ask if that cheered me up... What do I do... This is the first time I've ever gotten a present from a boy...!
Yukari
C-Calm down now, Yukari. Deep breaths, deep breaths... J-Just think it through clearly.
Yukari
I couldn't get that accessory because I didn't have a soulmate... B-But Yuuki went and got it for me as a present...!
Yukari
So, that means... Yuuki is my soulmate, my prince of destiny... Huh? Whaaat!? W-What do I do... Is it okay to go on a date with someone who's underage...!?
Yukari
Huh...? Ah... O-Oh, I see... You didn't mean anything special by it... huh...
Yukari
... But I can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Thank you, really! I'll treasure this!
Yukari
I'm gonna go to bed happy tonight! What a wonderful memory! Thank you!
Yukari clutched the accessory, looking extremely happy as she spoke.
