Following.

Arakawa-ku, 71 convenience store.

There was a crowd of people in front of the convenience store, and many students and otaku looked like people lined up there.

Because, today is the day of the release of the 20th anniversary of the famous lifetime anime series "Demon Slayer".

Ichiban Reward is an anime-themed anime merchandise that is sold at convenience stores in the form of raffle tickets.

Tickets often cost anywhere from 500 to 1,000 yen, and although they claim to have a 100% winning rate, there are various levels of prizes, including the final prize, the W prize, the A prize, the B prize, and the EFGHI prize.

Generally speaking, in addition to the final prize and the W prize, which are drawn twice on the Internet and have a chance of winning the lottery, the A-D prizes that can be redeemed immediately at convenience stores are all beautifully made special edition large-scale figures.

As a popular anime that has been serialized for more than 20 years and has not ended, on the day of the release of the "Demon Slayer", there was already a long queue at convenience stores.

A reward like this "hit", even if it limits the amount of each person drawn each time, will basically be sold out on the morning of the release day.

So even the remote 71 convenience store in Arakawa District has a lot of people at the moment.

"Come, your F reward, a file bag for "Ghost Slayer", thank you for your patronage!"

"Ah...... Damn, how could you draw five file bags in a row. ”

At the cash register, Mototo Koida respectfully pocketed the prize and handed it to a man who looked like a high school student in front of him.

Compared with the attractive A-D rewards, the prizes at the rest of the levels are often worthless cups, document bags, keychains, handkerchiefs and other peripheral products.

At this moment, a man with a small golden oily hair slowly looked at Koida Mototo through the glass outside the store, and raised his eyebrows at him wildly.

Koida Mototo, knowingly, gestured a few numbers at him in the air.

The man sitting outside the convenience store with a cigarette in his mouth scribbled a few times on the notebook in his hand with a serious expression, and then fell into deep thought.

This man with a small golden oil head and a six-pointed star knife mark engraved on his sideburns, who is not a good person at first glance, is Sousuke Araki, who came early in the morning before the release time of "Ichiban Reward".

At this moment, the notebook in his hand is using simple symbols to record the situation from more than an hour to the present.

That is to say...... There are still 76 tickets in the box, and the rest of the prize pool is still there except for two C prizes and one D prize that were drawn? ”

"Hmph, if you wait until about 45 and the A prize doesn't appear, it's time for my 'God of Rewards' Sousuke Araki to make a move......"

Sitting in the shadows, Sosuke Araki propped his hands on his chin and smiled hideously.

In order to ensure the fairness of the on-site lottery, the prize pool and prize card are independent for the delivery to each convenience store.

And Sosuke Araki, who has been working at a convenience store for a long time, naturally knows the secret.

Although the prize pool is independent, in order to prevent the jackpot from being drawn in front of it and becoming unattractive, the manufacturer actually puts the jackpot ticket in the lower position, and when selling, the convenience store clerk will deliberately divide the lottery ticket into several boxes, giving priority to the customer to draw the lottery ticket above.

And with the "internal response" of Koida Yuan, who can control the prize pool and lottery tickets in real time, Sousuke Araki, the shy "God of Rewards", will naturally be able to shoot at the time with the highest winning rate.

For this A prize, he is determined to win.

It's only to blame, "Ghost Slayer King" actually added such a foul A reward to the reward.

A 1/4 super large figure of the popular female character "Empress" with plump breasts, fat buttocks, and slim waist.

The point is, in addition to the chest only a bath towel (detachable) to cover, the whole body is not covered by a wisp of figures, and the material is all made of artificial silicone, which is known as the closest to the touch of a real person!

"Okay, there are 57 lottery tickets, there are 15 ABCD rewards left, and the A prize limited to one per store has not yet appeared, according to the calculation of five tickets per person per time, there are 4 people in front, and when it is my turn, it is the golden probability area of the D reward above the draw...... Uhhahaha, such a strategy, worthy of me as a god of appreciation. ”

Feeling that the time was almost up, Sousuke Araki, who felt that the victory was in hand, lazily got up from his "throne" and joined the queue.

"You ignorant pigs, feel free to be a sacrifice to the gods and increase my chances of winning the lottery...... A reward, but it belongs to the duel of the wise. ”

Looking at the few people lining up in front of him for the lottery, Sousuke Araki showed an expression of ambition.

"Congratulations...... Congratulations to this guest for winning Prize A, Prize B and Prize C...... This is your prize, please take it ......"

At this moment, at the cash register, Koida Moto's somewhat trembling voice sounded.

With the opening of the A prize, the duel of the wise men has ended before it has even begun.

"What?!"

Hearing this, the "wise man" Sousuke Araki hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked at the cash register.

"Hey, it's so easy...... It's really boring. ”

A young boy with a black middle parted head, soft and beautiful facial features, and the appearance of a high school student, walked out of the door of the convenience store with a cold expression carrying three boxes of figurines.

His appearance of carrying the ABC award as indifferent as carrying a special Coke cookie and walking with the wind gives people the feeling of a ruthless character.

Seeing that the shit walker who had taken the only A prize walked to the mouth of the alley, as if he was about to leave, Sosuke Araki, who was following him, clenched his exposed fists.

You ruining the fun of the duel bastard lucky boy...... You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

"Hey, Hey, ......"

Just when Sousuke Araki was about to stop the other party and blackmail him......

"Hey! Boy, let's stop!! ”

The three men in high school uniforms, who had been in front of him at the convenience store, rushed out from behind him and surrounded the "middle part".

"What, sold to you? That's what I drawn...... If you want to smoke it yourself. ”

"Zhong Fentou" said indifferently, and the fearless momentum and cold appearance made the three of them stunned.

"Mixed ...... Bastard, shameless face. I said I would give you 1,000 yen to buy it, but I didn't take the money and leave ......."

"Didn't you go out with your head, I spent 3,000 yen on the lottery ticket alone......

"Stinky boy, it seems that you will only be enlightened if you have to give you some hardship."

The "middle part" was surrounded by three people, always with a straight face, refusing to hand over the prize in his hand.

His awe-inspiring aura made the three people around him a little uncertain for a while.

"Get out."

Annoyed by being entangled, the "middle part" actually took the lead and punched one of the high school students in the face very handsomely.

Just when Sousuke Araki thought that he would defend his dignity with one enemy and three enemies......

The punch of the "middle part" was beyond imagination...... Have no sting in it.

The high school student who was hit in the face didn't even shake his head.

"Stinky boy, do you dare to do anything with the people of our 'Gonggao Tiger Group'?"

In the face of the angry trio, before the "middle head" could react, he fell to the ground with a fist in the abdomen......

In the midst of his fists and kicks, I saw him holding his head with both hands very skillfully, and slowly curled up towards the corner.

"It looks so white, I thought there were two hits, but it turned out to be just a show......"

"Hmph, you can take this 1,000 yen."

Three high school students lifted their pants and threw 1,000 yen on him, and each of them walked down the alley with a box of figurines.
