[???] Tickets to the Sky Garden dinner party are now available. Register now to become a member and participate in the luck draw...
[player] That voice sounds familiar...
[-] As expected, I see Fu Ji shouting loudly into a megaphone after I walk around the corner towards the direction of the sound.
[Fu Ji] There are also many Luck and Fortune discount coupons up for grabs!
[player] How do I participate in the draw?
[Fu Ji] PLAYER?!
[-] Fu Ji seems startled when she turns around and sees me, and she even raises her hand to pat her chest.
[Fu Ji] Hehe, in your case... since you're a loyal customer of Luck and Fortune...
[-] She leans towards me and whispers in my ear.
[Fu Ji] It would be an insult to our relationship to make you enter the draw for these prizes. I'll give you one after we're done here.
[player] Umm... Is that really okay?
[Fu Ji] Of course! I've told you before, right? Come to Luck and Fortune more often because I can even give you good luck. See? My words have come true now.
[-] Two hours later
[-] In the end, Fu Ji keeps her word and gives me a ticket to the Sky Garden dinner party when she packs up. However...
[player] I've been with you here at this lucky draw stall for two hours now, and I've only seen people draw Luck and Fortune discount coupons. Is it possible... that there are no tickets to the Sky Garden dinner party in the box?
[Fu Ji] Sigh, are all young people so suspicious nowadays? Luck is a fickle thing. Some people might only need one draw, whereas others might need one hundred.
[player] I'm not very happy about what you just said. I suggest that you take that back...
[Fu Ji] Haha, our integrity is the reason we've been able to do business for so many years. You can ask my fan if you don't believe me.
[player] ...I believe you.
[Fu Ji] Excellent. I hope you have lots of fun tonight.
[-] Fu Ji packs her things neatly, then she turns and leaves. For some reason, I get the feeling that she's leaving in quite a hurry. But since I have the ticket now, I should look forward to the fireworks show in the evening. After all, the main reason it's been difficult to get a ticket is the official slogan on CatChat that says this is the best place to watch the fireworks display.
[-] After night falls
[-] By the time I arrive at the Sky Garden, many people have already gathered in their respective groups, but I still manage to notice two acquaintances, Osamu Saitou and Xenia, with my sharp eyes, so I walk over to greet them.
[player] Good evening to you two.
[Xenia] Good evening, PLAYER.
[Osamu Saitou] Good evening.
[Osamu Saitou] I was just asking Miss Xenia about her experience of the amusement park. Why don't you tell me what you think too?
[player] Sure.
[Osamu Saitou] Which ride of the amusement park is most memorable to you two?
[player] In my case... well, there are too many exciting rides here, so I can't decide which one is the most memorable right now... What about you, Xenia?
[Xenia] Well, it's naturally the... the...
[player] The...?
[Xenia] Umm... it's a ride I haven't experienced before! But I can't really say which one is the most fun right now.
[Osamu Saitou] What an unexpected answer. It looks like the amusement park needs lots of improvements.
[Secretary] Excuse me, but I'll need to interrupt you for a moment.
[Secretary] President, a customer wants to discuss something with you over there.
[Osamu Saitou] Okay, I'll go there now...
[Osamu Saitou] I need to head off first. Enjoy your chat.
[Xenia] Sigh--
[-] Xenia sighs in relief after Osamu Saitou leaves, and she looks so much more relaxed.
[player] Are you really nervous?
[Xenia] Yes. Mr. Saitou has some business dealings with my family, and he almost found out that I was on the roller coaster.
[player] Is there something wrong with that?
[Xenia] If he finds out that I was yelling out loudly on a roller coaster, he might see my family in a different light.
[player] I thought you don't care about what the world thinks.
[Xenia] Yes, but a lady's etiquette is about more than dealing with what others think.
[player] Xenia tilts her head and makes a troubled expression.
[Xenia] I knew I got too carried away when I yelled out on the roller coaster today... but I couldn't control myself. I'm so embarrassed...
[player] The thing is, on a roller coaster, everyone is so busy releasing their own stress that they don't really care about who's sitting next to them, so don't worry about it.
[Xenia] R-Really?
[player] Yes.
[Xenia] Phew! I can stop worrying about that now... Huh? Why have so many people gathered up over there?
[-] I look in the direction of Xenia's gaze and see that many people have gathered together in the plaza downstairs.
[player] I think they're here to watch the fireworks display. The Sky Garden can only fit so many people, so the people who don't have a ticket will probably go to the plaza to watch the fireworks.
[player] In fact, watching the fireworks from the plaza is probably more in line with the normal life of most citizens.
[Xenia] The way of life of a commoner, huh...
[player] PLAYER, I want to experience what it's like to watch the fireworks from the plaza. Do you want to come with me?
