“Huh? Why am I always talking about bad luck while I’m the ultimate lucky student?”
“Haha! Well Miss Gekkogahara I know I’m called the ultimate lucky student as supposed for good luck. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t acquire bad luck as well, right?”
“To me at least, My good luck needs bad luck if it’s going to happen and the other way around. Of course I don’t expect you to understand what an insignificant being such as myself is trying to say but there’s still hope if you wanted to!”
“An example huh? Hmm well.. AH! This happened to me this morning, such a simple act of my daily life surely will make you understand”
“I was just heading to a new cafe I noticed during my walk, I know I shouldn’t! after all I will only make the people inside it furious for ruining their day, to even see my face is such an unpleasant sight, surly the blinds are lucky to not see such a view! Haha”
“But I was curious you know... I mean! Of course you wouldn’t know! This is the first time you are hearing such a thing from me after all”
“Ah forgive me, a much suited term would be ‘tempted’ the cafe had such an appealing sight. It had flowers to decorate both the inside and the outside, the combination of colors was really pleasing I couldn’t help but to step inside and have a closer look”
“Do I like pretty things..? Ah yes, I suppose. I’m surprised to hear you say such an unremarkable detail from a wretch such as myself! You don’t have to waste your time remembering anything from trash like me..”
“...I wasn’t expecting anything after I entered the cafe. But much to my surprise the waitress announced that I was the hundredth customer and I could have a drink of my choice for free! who could have imagined that the cafe had only that many of customers... I didn’t know for how long that cafe existed after all, I only noticed it recently”
“And because I wasn’t really planning on drinking anything. I respectfully declined the offer which the waitress insisted on making... I couldn’t turn her down with the excitement and determination she showed me.. so I told her any kind of drink of her choice would be fine”
“Did I make her choose on purpose..? Ah you’re such an observer! and yes, that will be because there’s a chance that I would get a bad one somehow to balance it with my good luck earlier”
“At the time,I couldn’t get a good look on the drink she carried and essentially bring it to someone like me. It was definitely a hot drink though. Maybe coffee? Tea perhaps? I didn’t want to bother her by asking what it was”
“Because she tripped all over herself and spilled the drink all over the floor. Ah well, it mostly got on my clothes but there’s not much difference between me and the floor isn’t there? After all we both exist to be stepped on”
“You don’t have to worry about me! It was only a hot drink temperature nothing too serious.. It will heal itself with time. Of course, you already know that! Haha..”
“I did told her it didn’t matter what happened to me and she should stop worrying and focus on more important things, it was a bad luck and I was satisfied with the result”
“But... she must have took pity on me because the first thing she did after bowing to me apologetically was promising to make it up to me... I didn’t need that of course. I was happy to even be welcomed there!”
“She wasn’t convinced. Instead begging me to make an order from anything with how many I desired from the menu. I wasn’t much of an eater anyway so I just suggested to make me the wasted drink I didn’t have the chance on tasting it to go”
“I knew I was a bother to that place by the time I set a foot inside. I ended up making a scene and embarrassing the waitress.... I should have learned from the many mistakes already and yet...”
“......”
“How was the drink? Well, as I suspected it was tea in the end! She told me the name of it.. saying that it was her favorite and drink it to relax... always reminding her of her younger self...”
“It was kind of sweet tea. That was what i think at least. I don’t have a sweet tooth since I don’t consume that much sugar anyway”
“Although I did like it”
“Ah I forgot to mention! She did gave me some clothes in exchange of the ones that soaked. I didn’t want to move in wet clothes all the way home so maybe it was selfish of me to be relieved with the suggestion. I of course both thanked her and apologize. That’s the least i can do, giving meaningless words”
“I promised to give her the clothes after I wash them. She said I didn’t have to with how many problems she made to a supposed lucky costumer. Funny isn’t! And when the day came to an end. I washed and folded the clothes in a bag to give them away”
“Yes, the bag is still indeed with me, I couldn’t give them away after all. I wish I could. As to not be reminded of the burned cafe alongside the ashes of her body. I shouldn’t been there huh? Such bad luck..”
“.....”
“Haha! Sorry I talked too much, I could have saved your time by only sharing the important parts! I’m beyond ashamed”
“I hope I helped with your research, I’m truly honored to have you wasting your time to study a talent as useless as mine”
“And since you don’t have any further questions. I’m going to disappear from your sight.. Excuse me then”
“.......”
“…..”
