Luck and misfortune are just a thought

Vol.1

"Ah, I bought it on a whim...... Really, 200 meters is not too much, and it is a little distressing to say less...... Really, I didn't buy it if I knew I wouldn't have bought it, and now I have to accept this crime......"

In the grocery store, the man with long dark red hair chattered dissatisfiedly, and the shopkeeper kept smiling and comforting him.

The man's name is Randy Orlando.

It is under the Special Mission Support Division of the Police Department.

It would have been a pretty good position. is not treated by the police headquarters, nor by the people, and easily mixes the monthly salary, playing cards in the bubble bar every day. Because there is no training, and the paperwork is also handled by someone - Ellie McDowell - life here is much better than in the garrison.

Originally, it was supposed to be like this.

As a result, it is not at all!

The Support Division has been involved in a variety of incidents. Because a certain enthusiastic brother - Yu Tatsumi - negotiated with the Guerrilla Association, their inseparable work can be directly pushed to the Support Section, coupled with the helpfulness of another dead-eyed good old man, Lloyd Bannings, which directly leads to the fact that the Support Section has so much work when it is busy that it makes people want to cry.

If it's just work, Randy is a little lazy, but he still likes to fight and kill.

But who can explain what happened when the cat ran away and had to be found by the guerrillas! Hey, this kind of thing will come back when it's time for dinner! If you ask the guerrillas for this kind of thing, they will only say, "We have few people, this kind of search mission should be given to you to support the department" and push it over!

Even if the work is not going well, this is barely acceptable, as if she is not a police officer but a nanny. But ah! Recently, even the relationship has begun to go wrong!

A certain damn harem man-Yu-Tatsumi--flirting with the new beautiful team member-Noelle Shika every day.,Do you want to do this!

It's the last time, when I was a cowherd (male public relations), what were you doing, those two popular kings! One said "Hmph, Lao Tzu will win the game when he shoots" and the other "ahaha" sells cuteness, but a lot of women like it! What the hell is this! Are women's tastes so unique now!

It's really not going well!

Randy complains to his boss as he fiddles with the half-worn guide radio on the counter. The boss hurriedly stopped Randy, this kind of delicate thing would be too troublesome to repair if it was broken.

"It's not time yet, it's useless for you to be in a hurry."

The boss was so relieved that Randy.

"Cut...... Then I'll just wait. ”

Randy frowned and snorted disapprovingly, holding up the folded colored paper in his hand and examining it carefully.

On a red background, a striking white mechanical numeral number is printed: 420533

Vol.2

What Randy has in his hand is something called a lottery ticket.

It seems to be a new type of gambling, with rules somewhat similar to the big wheel, where you buy a lottery ticket and wait for it to be drawn.

This lottery ticket was recommended by the boss yesterday when Randy went to the store he frequented to have fun in order to vent his frustration. 200 meters for a piece, the jackpot is 1 million meters, and even the third prize is 100,000 meters.

Gamblers always have luck in their psychology, for example, if I turn the game in the next game, I will definitely be able to win back what I lost before! Or, what if I hit the jackpot! If you don't have this mentality, you can't be a gambler.

Randy, naturally, is a qualified gambler. What's more, 200 meters is not expensive, even if you don't win, it's not bad to be a pastime.

But what I didn't expect was that this thing was not a live lottery...... Instead, we have to wait for the pilot broadcast at noon the next day...... That's why Randy runs to the grocery store at noon to mix the radio.

"Ding, the 'Lucky Welfare Lottery' has been drawn! Today's winning numbers are...... Third Prize, 420533! Congratulations to the friends who bought this lottery ticket. 2nd Prize, 51......"

Randy didn't continue listening.

He carefully pinched his lottery ticket as if it had grown wings and flew away.

"That...... Is the third prize number just now ......"

Randy's voice trembled, as if a gust of wind could blow his voice away.

"Huh? 420533。 ”

The boss repeated casually. Even if he wins the lottery, it has nothing to do with him, so why is the boss nervous?

"Oh...... Oooh! I'm Randy! Finally ...... Transported! ”

VOL.3

"Well, I said Randy, you're too much of a problem."

The person who spoke was Ellie McDowell. One of the souls of the Support Division, if she hadn't helped with the paperwork, then the members of the Support Division would have been driven crazy by the General Bureau.

Ellie was cleaning the living room, and Randy, dressed as a great man, was standing in the middle of the living room, dressed as a statue.

Hearing Ellie's words, Randy snorted like a big man, and his voice rang out, "Ellie, you say, how about putting my statue here?" ”

"Huh?"

Ellie is confused by Randy's extremely jumpy words.

"Why do you put a statue, and why do you want to make a statue......

Suspicion is suspicion, but Ellie still complains out of order to dispel the delusions of her companions.

"Hmph, because, Brother Randy is about to become a great man! Well, a savior or something! Randy O'Lando III is me! ”

As if Randy had taken the wrong medicine, his expression of fanatical confidence made Ellie feel a headache: it looks like Randy hasn't woken up from the drink he drank yesterday. Or did he just run out for a drink?

Also, what the hell is Randy O'Lando III! After taking apart your name and adding a third life, this kind of stupid thing can't be done by ordinary people!

However, at this time, you must not be like a drunk.

"Yes, yes, the great Lord Randy O'Lando III, can you buy a new handbag for me, poor little girl? With my meager salary, I'm afraid I will have to save three months to buy it. (Stick read.) Note: Stick reading is talking without emotion. It's a rather ironic way of speaking)"

Hearing the teasing meaning in Ellie's words, Randy snorted and laughed, "Isn't it just a bag, buy it!" ”

"Oh, that's good, that's great. (stick reading)"

"Hey, you're suspicious of me! You wait! ”

An angry Randy shook off his steps and rushed out, Ellie sighed and muttered to herself, "When can we save some snacks......"

Vol.4

"Long live His Royal Highness Randy O'Lando III!"

When Randy came back with her favorite handbag, Ellie finally called out the strange nickname that the guy had just given her.

"Hamm, hahahahahaha! Master Randy is omnipotent! ”

"Hey, can I take it? Can you really take it? ”

"Hmph, of course."

"Heyβ€”what, do you want me?"

"Of course not!"

"You're in trouble and want me to help you intercede?"

"It's not like that! You say the bag back to me! ”

Randy said that he was about to grab it, and Ellie quickly turned her back and protected her bag.

Ellie's family is not bad, but Ellie is arrogant and doesn't want to use the family's money anymore when she works, so she has been living a hard life with the meager salary allocated by the police department. Someone is willing to buy her a bag, and for whatever reason, Ellie doesn't want to waste it - besides, what does Randy want a women's bag for a big man! It's nothing more than a trick to deceive other girls, but I've indirectly saved them!

Ellie quickly found a reason for herself in her heart and put it away with peace of mind.

"But, Randy, what the hell is wrong with you today? Suddenly so generous? ”

"Hmph, I've always been like this."

"Liar! When you used your beer to cook before, you were very calculating! ”

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h That one...... That's all in the past! Man, you can't live in the past! ”

Randy suddenly turned into a philosopher, but he always felt that the atmosphere was weird when he said such a reasonable sentence.

"Well, I'm a woman......"

"Women should also look to the future! What do you think! Doesn't it feel like Brother Randy is much more handsome than those two guys! ”

Those two guys? Ellie pondered in her heart, and she guessed seven or eight points, and her smile became bitter.

It seems that Randy was stimulated by Yu and Lloyd's teaming up.

Thinking about it carefully, when they first met, Randy said that he had a hobby of "picking up", but he found that he was not as attractive as these two people, so he was unwilling. The girls in the You and Support Section are very close, and Lloyd is very popular, ah~ What a poor Randi-kun, he can only use money to barely improve his status.

Thinking of this, Ellie suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Randy.

"Ah...... Yes...... Probably. ”

Ellie can only vaguely avoid more damage to Randy...... It's really, so sadly......

Why, though? Randy suddenly became generous.

Vol.5

"Well, Randy, be sure to let us know if there's anything going on. We're companions, so you're welcome. ”

These are Lloyd's exact words.

After Master Randy won the lottery, he immediately began to plan how to use the money to build up his prestige. Anyway, it's only 100,000 meters, which is not a lot of money, so it might as well be used to improve your status in the support department!

It's really a good calculation.

However, in the eyes of everyone, he became self-defeating because of the serious blow he received......

"Hmph, Lloyd! You are the heroine of the herbivorous harem with a harmless expression of humans and animals! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but can I sue you for slander?"

"From today onwards, it's Lord Randy's world! Huh-huh...... Long live Master Randy! ”

"Hi hi...... So, what's going on? ”

It's about five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time for everyone in the Support Section to come back one after another. You, Lixia and Rui are rehearsing at the Rainbow Theater Troupe, and because the performance is about to start, the Rainbow Theater is also getting busy.

If it was before, then Randy would probably grit his teeth and say, "You damn winner in life!" "And then rush forward and take premature revenge, right?

But that's different now. Mistress Randy is the man who won the lottery! Lottery tickets are such a nice thing! Who invented it? 200 meters can be exchanged for 100,000 meters, which is a huge profit!

In the future, it will be the world of Lord Randy's wealth, wahahahaha!

Randy, who was immersed in his dream of conquering the world, didn't realize that the lottery was not a must-win at all. However, after all, he is a gambler, and he can still be forgiven.

Seeing him laugh disgustingly, even a rational and tolerant person like Lloyd couldn't help but start shaking his head, it was too bad.

"That's it! Everybody! Let's go to dinner today! You can eat whatever you want! Brother Randy's Treat! ”

Vol.6

Randy's excited voice didn't get the cheers he expected.

Everyone in the Support Section looked at him with a strange look. In the end, it was the upright Noelle who took the lead and said, "Senior Randy, what happened? Please elaborate. ”

"Hmph, listen, don't be stupid! You see, what is this! ”

Randy excitedly showed the somewhat faded lottery ticket in his hand to everyone, and at the same time added a voice of "Dangdangdang~~Dangdang~~" in his mouth to increase the persuasiveness - but seriously, it's really ugly......

"What is this?"

Noelle, who has always lived a serious life like a self-denying old man, was the first to express his doubts. She's the kind of innocent girl who doesn't even know how many ways to gamble poker, and she's never heard of such an opportunistic thing as a lottery.

"Painting? Guardian number? Lucky charms? ”

Ellie's association is a little more reliable, however, because this lottery has only recently started to be piloted, Ellie doesn't know about it.

"Hmm...... Feels like code paper? ”

Lloyd guessed as he twisted his head to change his perspective. Because it is a mechanical number (that is, similar to the number on an electronic watch), Lloyd subconsciously began to speculate on the connection between permutations and combinations, trying to find a pattern.

"It's a lottery. IBC Central Bank Trial Issuance**. ”

In the end, it was Theo who gave the correct answer.

This girl has a special qualification, and with the help of the guide terminal in the breastplate and the sensor on her head, she can directly connect to a special space called the guide network, and obtain information from it.

"Worthy of Theo! The Teo sauce is so good! ”

Seeing that her companion answered correctly, Hexu was as happy as if she had answered the question correctly, she hugged Tio excitedly, and the two fleshy faces were suddenly squeezed together, with the light-colored hair of the two and the glasses worn by Xiaohe, they were as cute as angels.

"Huhuhu, and it's not an ordinary lottery ticket! But...... Will be! Third Prize Winning Ticket! Whew, so have fun today! You kind of guy, let him cry to death on the stage of the Rainbow Theater! Even if he begged me to say, 'Mistress Randy, I was wrong!' Please let me join in' I won't relent! ”

The more Randy spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already stomp under his feet with this ticket.

"He wouldn't say anything like that."

Noelle interjected suddenly.

How could a criminal like the heavy city government do that! That's what Noelle was trying to say.

But...... That's what she said......

Seeing everyone staring at him silently, Noelle didn't react for a while: "What's wrong?" ”

"No, it's okay! Let's go eat! ”

Lloyd wittily changed the subject. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: I always pretend to hate him, but I still find out his temperament.

Vol.7

"Sneeze ......"

On the stage of the Rainbow Theater Troupe, Yu Tatsumi, who was wearing a wig and a dancing girl costume, suddenly sneezed, and Lixia, who was playing with him, was startled, and the rhythm of the two immediately became chaotic.

There is a scene where the Star Dancer and the Moon Dancer are rivals, and the two compete in the moonlight with a thin white mist.

"What, what's wrong, You Jun, do you have a cold? Or is it because it's too cold? ”

Lixia hurriedly asked, and then immediately realized that her question was too ambiguous, and she not only blushed a little.

You smiled and tightened the clothes on her body casuallyβ€”not the strip of cloth that Illya had used to prank him, of course, but the real, less revealing women's dance costumes.

"Maybe it's a little cold."

Because there is a white fog in the script, a special dry ice fog machine is set up on the stage. This machine uses a white solid called dry ice (also known as carbon dioxide solid) to absorb the surrounding heat to create a white mist. Although the fog effect is first-class, the fly in the ointment is that it will cause the temperature on the field to drop.

In fact, when Lixia first came into contact with the dry ice fog machine, she was also sneezing from the cold.

"Well, that's right. So, do it again? ”

"Ahh No problem. I'm starting to get up to speed. ”

Off the stage, Rui didn't know why, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart, she blinked her eyes a little puzzled, and finally didn't find out why she felt strange.

Vol.8

Eyes return to the Support Division.

Randy's place to treat is a fancy restaurant on West Street.

Unlike the family restaurant, which focuses on the theme of warmth, although they are all cooking, and the craftsmanship may not be superior, with its elegant atmosphere, it will give people a unique dining experience.

In other words, this kind of high-end restaurant is more like "selling atmosphere" than selling food.

However, for customers like Randy who just want to show off their wealth and don't care about the taste of the food, this kind of restaurant is amazing!

But Lloyd, they didn't think so.

As mentioned earlier, this is a "high-end restaurant", which means that "ordinary people" don't come here at all.

Yes, except for the support department, the other guests, all the men are in high-end suits, and the women are all in evening dresses, accompanied by candlelight, and the jewelry on their bodies is shining.

On the other hand, in the support department, except for Ellie, who dressed up a little and changed into a dress, everyone else traveled in casual clothes at all...... And Ellie, because of these plain clothes, looks a little rustic.

Is...... Uncomfortable! Lloyd thought of this, as if time had returned to the situation in the male public relations shop before......

Randy didn't have any other ideas. "I paid and I was able to accept the service with peace of mind. Clothes? Anyway, they are all wet and ignited when they are wet, what's the difference! β€”BY. UNDER THE CROWN OF RANDY O'LANDO III.

I saw Randy flipping through the recipe while sketching on it.

Of course, along the way, everyone also doubted that this lottery incident would be a scam, but after connecting to the database, Tio came to the conclusion that IBC is indeed trying to issue lottery tickets, and this time the winning numbers, the third prize is indeed 420533.

In this way, everyone who finally dispelled their suspicions followed Randy to the restaurant.

At Dafan Restaurant, there must have been a period of time between ordering and serving, and Randy was preparing to take advantage of this time to redeem lottery tickets.

Eun, what a calculation!

"Then, everyone, you sit down first, I'll go and claim the prize, and I'll be back soon!"

After Randy finished ordering, he immediately prepared to claim his prize. Roughly calculated, a round trip takes about 20 minutes, which is almost enough to catch the meal on the table. Really, the calculation is too good!

"Randy, come back early. It's a weird feeling here...... Please don't embarrass us......"

Lloyd lowered his voice and instructed, but only got a casual "I understand".

Vol.9

Randy hums a little song to the prize office, which is actually the place to buy lottery tickets.

The person who sells lottery tickets is the owner of the famous casino [Baruca] in Happy Street, Dorek. is also one of the few sworn friends of Randy.

"Hey Boss! Hand over the money! ”

Randy half-jokingly pinched his fingers into a pistol.

"Brain-burned, stupid Randy, it looks like I should call you charred scum Randy or your blackmailed scum Randy in the future?."

"Hey, you've thought about it, is it really good for you to talk to my Randy O'Lando III World Emperor like this!"

"What the hell is that! I've never heard of it! There are too many name divisions! ”

As the saying goes, men's feelings are noisy, and the better the feelings, the easier it is to quarrel.

Randy and Boss Dorek have the same friendship.

"Okay, don't be verbose, give me money! 100,000 meters! ”

Randy looked like a gentleman asking his father for money, holding a lottery ticket between his fingers, looking like an uncle.

Dorek snorted and said in his heart: This kid is really lucky, he can actually win! I thought he would never be able to hit that luck.

Subsequently...... Boss Dorek noticed that something was wrong.

"Randy, do you know the winning numbers of the third prize?"

"Of course, 420533."

"So, what are you doing with 428533 lottery tickets?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ha? You're kidding me! ”

Unbelievable, Randy grabbed the lottery ticket, and sure enough, there was an extra horizontal in the middle of the number 0...... Although 0 and 8 are very different when written as numbers, 0 and 8 are the most confusing numbers among mechanical numbers......

Randy too...... I missed it......

"Oh my God! The goddess of the sky! ”

Vol.10

Seeing Randy's lost look of holding his head, Boss Dorek finally felt much happier.

"Look at you like this, just confirm the number of the third number on the radio and rush over."

"Ah......hh Why...... That's right...... I shouldn't have been born...... Yes, everything is a conspiracy. Well, it's not me who is wrong, it's the world, it's the goddess......"

There is a limit to the suffering that humans can endure. If this limit is exceeded, the human spirit will collapse.

Now, Randy is in the midst of this meltdown.

There are ups and downs, this is life.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Boss Dorec confirmed his thoughts.

He sighed and said coldly, "Hmph, remember to confirm next time." The winning number of the first prize is, 428533. So, although you didn't win the third prize, you won the first prize. Thank me. ”

"Oooo Goddess! You are the goddess of the sky! Lady Dorek! ”

"Hey, don't be stupid, Randy! Lao Tzu is a man! ”

Peaks and loops, success or failure, this is the life of a gambler.

Vol.11

Because the jackpot prize is 1 million Mira, in order not to affect the Mira reserve at the prize office, the second and first prizes must be exchanged at IBC Bank.

But it doesn't matter. If you can get the money, you can do it! And it's a million! You can get an extra 900,000 by running two more steps! Oh also! Is there anything more lucrative than that? I'd rather run every day! Randy whistles easily and swaggers into IBC Bank.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

The waitress was upset when she saw Randy's appearance, but she couldn't really get angry at her position, so she could only endure it.

"Oh, ahem. I'm here to claim my prize. Uh-huh, lottery, it's the jackpot! ”

Randy finally couldn't contain his excitement and laughed triumphantly. The waitress noticed more and more that he was frivolous.

After taking the lottery ticket, the waitress scanned him into the machine, making a dripping sound.

"Sorry sir, your ticket can't be claimed."

"Huh?! What did you say? Please, is this lottery fake?! ”

Randy broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Dorek secretly changed his lottery ticket for money?!

"No, according to my judgment...... The lottery should be real. However, you see......"

The waitress's fingers were soft and smooth, but Randy didn't have the heart to appreciate them now.

"There was originally a place for machines to scan in the prize area, but for some unknown reason, it was worn out."

Randy secretly checked his fingers...... Sure enough, my fingers were stained with a color I don't know what it was......

So to speak...... Indeed, whether it was before knowing that he had won the lottery or after confirming that he had won, Randy was rubbing this baby ticket...... Could it be that time! Personally! Handful! A million mira! To give! Twist! Dropped?!

"Wait, wait! Since I can be sure that it is a real ticket, the money will be given to me! ”

Randy asks with the last glimmer of hope, but the waitress shatters his last glimmer of hope.

"Sorry sir, the back of the lottery ticket is written 'Please protect the exchange area, otherwise the exchange problems will be borne by me'. Sir, have you checked the rules of the lottery? ”

Randy's trembling results lottery,Sure enough,There are a lot of rules written in detail behind it,For example, the exchange period is 5 days,And for example, because it's a trial sale,The technology is not up to par,Please save it carefully,Especially don't rub it repeatedly,Can't get wet...... Protecting the text in the prize area is the third rule.

The black and white words are clear. No, it should be red and black.

"Desperate...... I'm desperate for the world...... Die...... Let me die ......"

Linked to the high-priced dishes they ordered, and then to Lloyd's angry faces...... It's dead. Randy-kun.

Randy had a little money to spare, but it had already been used when he bought Ellie's bag.

What a gambler! Always spend the money first!

"What should I do......"

Vol.12

"It's slow, Randy......"

Before I knew it, forty minutes had passed.

Randy still hasn't returned.

"I don't think I'm going to run away with the money."

He Xu said half-jokingly.

In the conversation of several people, one after another the dishes have been served.

"So, if you don't mind, can you please pay the bill first?"

In order to prevent eating overlord meals, this kind of high-end restaurant requires payment at the same time as the food is served.

"This ...... How much? ”

Lloyd thought about it, it didn't matter if he paid for it first, and then asked him for it when Randy came back.

"Fifty-one thousand three hundred meters."

"......Uhh

The waiter's words suddenly stillborn Lloyd's "I'll pay".

This was much more than Lloyd had expected......

The others also had uncomfortable expressions.

"Well, I don't want to doubt you, but you don't want to eat the overlord meal, do you?"

"No, no, no, one of our friends has gone to get the money! I'll be back soon. ”

Lloyd hurriedly explained that if it came out that "the support department is actually an organization that eats overlord meals", it would be too bad and would definitely be abolished by the superiors.

"Ah, sorry, I'm late. Pay the bill, give it to me. ”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

"Swim!"

Vol.13

The rehearsals of the Rainbow Theatre were not over yet, but when it was time to eat, they still managed to squeeze out an hour of rest.

Generally speaking, the rest period is not so long.

Especially when the performance is imminent, there is no such room for spare.

As for why this time is particularly preferential...... The reason is Illya Pratier.

The pillar of the Rainbow Theatre, the famous Flame Dancer in Sisemlia, found that Rui could say thank you to him with a red face, and lost interest in Lixia's boobs for a moment, and insisted on taking her out for a drink to see her cute and confused appearance after being drunk.

You, Lixia, and Rui, the three of them together can't compete with Illya's strength, and just like that, the four of them came to this high-end restaurant.

I chose this place because of the proximity to West Street and the Rainbow Theatre, and because it was close to Illya's apartment, where she often came for drinks and liked the style of the shop.

So, there is a plot where Yu Tatsumi happened to save the support department.

"You, why are you here?"

Lloyd asked with some surprise.

You has been busy with the Rainbow Troupe in the past few days, and even he, the captain, rarely sees him.

"Of course I'm here to eat." You turned sideways, and sure enough, not far away, on another table, a woman with a big hat, ordinary clothes, and a big earth-colored scarf was waving to a few people.

She was Illya Platier, and in order not to cause a commotion, she could only advertise hiding her dazzling blonde hair like a flame and covering the lower half of her face with a scarf.

It seemed that Illya wanted everyone to pass, but Lloyd did not realize this, and Illya immediately got up and walked over with Lixia and Rui to share the table.

VOL.14

The wind was biting, and Randy roamed the streets alone, not daring to go back to the support department or the store......

There are only 500 meters of the whole body, how can you have the face to go back? Even if you want to buy a lottery ticket to try your luck, you can't claim it right now.

As a last resort, Randy can only endure the cold wind and walk towards Happy Street.

Convert all 500 miras into tokens, and then use your best poker betting method to make 50,000 miras...... As for the time...... I can only talk about it after I go.

VOL.15

"Hey, hey, my brother, the policeman, drink it again~~ I'll tell you Cecil~ But I can drink it unexpectedly~~"

"Wow......... Miss Elijah, please don't pour me any more wine......"

Lloyd was already a little slurred......

Because a certain person wants to protect his servant from getting drunk, Lloyd becomes a pawn of this person.

Because of Lloyd's sister, Cecil's relationship, Illya's interest in Lloyd is far greater than her interest in Lixia and Rui.

Ah, what a Shura field. Whether it's Randy or Lloyd.

VOL.16

The end of the incident is that Randy sincerely apologizes, and the support department is in ...... After that, it worked with Randy. Randy swears that he will never do such a thing again.

Well, barely a good ending.

VOL. Hidden Chapters

One day in a certain year, month, and night, in a dark room, a man wearing only a shirt and trousers kept taking out the red piece of paper from the sea of papers in front of him in front of him in front of him, and comparing the numbers on it. There are still words in the mouth:

β€œ822061…… Not this one. 419445 isn't this either...... Let's look at it...... You, Lloyd, I'll definitely save my reputation...... 612289, the cut is still not right. ”

Looks like Randy won't have a disposable salary for quite some time!
