Prologue- Chapter 10

Prologue

I was standing in a queue at the shopping mall, with a lottery ticket in my hand.

"You've won the consolation prize, it's a pack of tissue. Here you go!"

I got this lottery ticket while I was shopping and even though I knew I wouldn't win anything, I queued up to redeem my ticket.

People in front of me kept getting the consolation prize one after another. A list on the side with all prizes caught my eyes.

Consolation Prize – Tissue

Item Coupon – 1 000 yen Mixed Sweets The Latest Smartphone Hot Spring Vacation for 2 People.

1.???

Following the order of prizes, it's logical for the first prize to be an oversea vacation or something along the line. It's placed higher than the hot spring vacation after all.

As I tried to figure out what the first prize could be, the queue got smaller in front of me.

*ding ding ding*

I heard a bell ringing. Looked like the guy in front of me won something.

"Congratulation! It looks like... YOU HAVE WON THE FIRST PRIZE!"

"Ohhh, yes! I did it!"

The guy who won made a triumph pose.

"Well then, we will give you more details about your prize, so please follow me inside."

"Alright!"

He was then led by the staff inside the store. It was my turn now.

"What comes after the first prize...?"

The staff has put a big cross mark at the first prize using a magic pen. I've lost the first price even before I could redeem my ticket.

Well never mind, it looked like there is still that smartphone available. Didn't sound too bad!

After I gave my lottery ticket to the staff, I started spinning the lottery machine.

*gara gara gara... goto*[1]

*Ding Ding Ding*

The staff rung the bell once again.

"Eh? I've won? Seriously?!"

I was shocked. Never before have I ever thought of winning something.

I looked at the ball that came out of the lottery machine. It was painted in the colour of the rainbow. I turned my head into the direction of the premium prize list to see what kind of prize this would get me.

The first prize came with a golden ball, the second prize with a silver one, the third with a red ball and the fourth and fifth prize respectively came with a blue and yellow ball.

The prize for a rainbow coloured ball was nowhere to be seen.

"What prize do I get with this?" I gave the staff a questioning look, while holding up the ball.

"This is the hidden prize. Congratulation, you have won a great hidden prize!"

"So there is something like that..."

The people around me started to clap, as I looked around.

"Well then, we are going to give you more details about the hidden prize. Please go inside."

"Sure."

The staff lead me inside the lottery booth.

I was excited. What kind of details are they going to explain to me? Is it such a big prize needing further explanations?
