　From then on, the bingo tournament for presents continued, and after Amelia, Suela received the scarf that Ms. Mie had prepared.

　After Suela, Ms. Mie receives a carved wooden amulet prepared by Suela, which would be a common sight at a gift exchange event.

　The next winner was Kitamiya, who received an inflatable target prepared by Kaido to relieve stress.

　In short, the center of gravity is quite low, and it is like a sandbag that rises up when you hit it

　Kaido said he bought it because it was at a Giant’s store and it looked interesting.

　Kitamiya’s mouth twitched when he saw this, but Kaido.

　You gave something that you shouldn’t have given to someone you shouldn’t have given it to.

　I may have forgotten, but recently Kitamiya has been taking a cue from Suela and incorporating close combat into her training.

　I think this tool will help her hone her fighting sense.

　Thinking that it was like giving fighting skills to a magician, I saw Kaido smiling in front of me, probably out of good intentions, telling me to use it to relieve stress.

　In response, Kitamiya smiled and said that she would make full use of it, so my prediction probably won’t come true.

　Kitamiya’s guy won’t learn God Blow or Golden Right Straight in the future, right? [T/N: One is from Konosuba, the other is one I don’t know.]

　It’s normal for magicians to learn melee combat over here, but I’m not so sure about her challenging an enemy to a melee fight just because she’s out of magic power.

And that Kaido followed Kitamiya, and the one that he got was a disk-shaped automatic floor sweeper I had prepared.

　I think it was perfect for Kaido, who doesn’t like cleaning up.

　I look at the bingo paper in my hand.

　There aren’t any holes in it, which is impressive.

　I’ve played bingo several times, but I’ve never had an experience where there were so many holes.

　It wouldn’t be strange if there were two, three, or even four holes in the front, but the only ones that were empty were the free space in the center and the one spot that had just become empty.

　When this happens, it’s so terrible that I think they’re intentionally excluding me.

“Ah, bingo.” (Masaru)

　In the meantime, the next winner was Masaru.

　Kaido was checking the paper in his hand.

　Minami, who was supposed to be the other person in charge, was staring at the bingo paper and seemed distracted.

“Number 8!” (Kaido)

“Oh, it’s mine!!” (Amy)

　When Kaido reads out the numbers that Masaru drew, Amelia responds.

“A CD?” (Masaru)

“Yes! I’ve collected music that I recommend, please listen to it!” (Amy)

“Thank you. I’ll listen to it.” (Masaru)

　Masaru is given a set of five CDs by Kaido, looks at the CDs with English lyrics, and Amelia happily recommends it, so he promises to listen to it next time.

　Now, the only ones left were me, Minami, and Memoria, but I thought it would be a while before I won, so I drank beer and waited for the next number.

“Ah, I got it.” (Memoria)

“Oh, good for you, Memoria.” (Jiro)

“Yes, it’s hard. I had three numbers in reach.” (Memoria)

“That’s it. As far as I’m concerned, I’m just one number away.” (Jiro)

“I see, then I’ll go first.” (Memoria)

　Out of the three, Memoria got a bingo, so she drew a number.

　And the one she drew was.

“M-mine?” (Himiku)

“Is it the one Himiku prepared?” (Memoria)

“Yes! I’m quite proud of my choice! When I asked Master what I should prepare for Christmas, he told me this was it! It was my first time trying it, but I think it turned out well!” (Himiku)

　It was something prepared by Himiku.

　Memoria pulled out something in a red paper bag.

“This is?” (Memoria)

“It’s a coaster made from wool. I’ve prepared for a variety of glassware.” (Himiku)

　I thought that no one makes hand-knitted sweaters nowadays, but I thought it would be nice to have a hand-knitted alternative, so I suggested it to Himiku.

　She said it was impossible because she was clumsy, but she gave it a try and she was hooked.

　Himiku’s hobbies had always been housework and cooking, but knitting gave her something to look forward to in her daily life.

　I often saw Himiku knitting happily in her room with a magazine in her hand, and I was glad that I encouraged her to try it.

　The finished coasters are not as good as the pros’, but they are carefully crafted.

　In keeping with the Christmas season, Memoria gazed at the snowflakes, snowmen, and other winter-related gala, then slowly lowered her eyes and smiled,

“Himiku, thank you. I will treasure them.” (Memoria)

“Yes!” (Himiku)

　She put the coaster in her bag with great care.

　I sometimes worry that when you have three lovers, the relationship can become tense, but I think we are getting along well. [T/N: Harem bastard explode!]

　Now, it’s time to get back to the real world.

“What!?” (Minami)

“No, well, but Minami and I are the only ones left, right?” (Jiro)

　As a result, the bingo tournament turned into a close fight between me and Minami, the unlucky pair.

　No, I had kind of expected this to happen, given my low luck parameter.

　But I suspect that Minami’s bad luck was not as bad.

“How come I can’t hit a Triple even though a Quadruple is in reach!?” (Minami)

　Looking at Minami’s bingo paper, I can see holes here and there compared to my paper, which has finally reached a row, and I can also see a few places where it looks like she might bingo.

　And yet, there was no sign of a bingo.

　In fact.

“Grr, it’s off again, that it is.” (Minami)

“Me too.” (Jiro)

　We haven’t got one yet.

“I wonder if these two will reach the end?” (Karen)

“I think it’s over, right? If all the balls come out, it’s over.” (Kaido)

“It’s crazy that they don’t even get a bingo at that point.” (Karen)

　There was a light rattling sound, and I looked at the number on the ball that came out, but it didn’t exist on my paper, and it didn’t exist on Minami’s paper either.

　Kitamiya and Kaido raise their voices of concern at the way it’s going, but I’m not too concerned about it.

“Well, at worst we can decide by rock-paper-scissors.” (Jiro)

“No, can’t be, that it can’t! I am not a good player, that I am not! How many times can Leader change his moves while playing rock-paper-scissors, that he can!?” (Minami)

“Oh, four times?” (Jiro)

“Two times for me, that I can. Who would challenge a game that they are sure to lose at this point, impossible, that it is! It is impossible, that you change hands while leaving afterimages, that it is not possible, that it is! Is that a cheat, that it is?!” (Minami)

“It’s the result of my hard work.” (Jiro)

“Your efforts are going in the wrong direction.” (Minami)

　To be more precise, I think if I try hard, I can do it two or three more times.

　Since I drank alcohol, it’s a little difficult to change hands accurately, so I gave a lower number.

　Well, I thought this conversation would take a long time if we continued, so I simply proposed a simple and less time-consuming game, but I don’t expect it to go through.

　In fact, Minami refused because of the difference in status.

　It was the first time for me to be asked for my status in a game of rock-paper-scissors, but I was convinced that it was true, and proceeded to play bingo quietly while drinking beer.

“It is not good is it?” (Jiro)

“Well, it’s like this.” (Suela)
