Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

"Oh, is this the track?"

The next morning, Yaichi was taking Alana and Minori to visit a regional racetrack in the suburbs.

(Hmm, same thing, here's the thing)

Despite being a weekday morning, good adults are seen twisting their heads around the racing newspaper with one hand.

Although Yaichi thinks that there are a lot of bad adults, etc., he is one of them at the time of being here.

Taking Alana and Minori on the train is already a dustpan, so I was driving to this track today.

I decided to buy the car that I tested yesterday, but automotive is not something that I can ride home with "I will buy this" and "Maido".

It takes some formalities and time to contract a parking lot to obtain garage certification or to register with the Land Transport Authority.

After that, I talked to the apartment concierge when I got home, and they said that there was a vacancy in the condo combination when it came to parking, so I asked them to move on to the contract because it was more expensive than the neighborhood but it was also a hassle to look elsewhere.

(Less than 300,000 rent including parking. Then when it comes to buying a new car, maybe I should do something about the tax)

Yaichi also currently quit his factory job and is unemployed and unpaid.

When he lived in a rather expensive apartment and bought a luxury automobile there, he would talk about where the hell the money came from.

Once a factory worker, Yaichi, who filed his tax returns as a private employer, didn't mean he was ignorant about paying taxes -

(Let's think about it by next March)

And I decided to send the problem forward.

Anyway, Yaichi, who couldn't get a car yesterday today, had rented a car from morning to come to the racetrack.

"Lord Yoichi, what the hell are they holding?

"Hmm? Oh, that's a horse racing newspaper. I'm sure it was some kind of detailed data from past practice."

"Hmm...... So you're anticipating which horses will win based on previous records?"

"I guess so, I guess"

Yangichi has also seen horse racing newspapers several times in the past, but he did not understand them at all.

That would already be like a cipher.

[Appraisal +] Now that I have obtained it, I may be able to analyze it well, but I don't even feel like reading it now.

However, if I need Alana, I need to analyze it instead after purchasing it.

"Horse racing newspaper, buy it?

"No, fine. I'd rather actually see a horse than that."

"Shall we go to the paddock then?"

Yaichi was on his way to Paddock with Alana and Minori, but was not least surprised that most of those on the spot showed little interest in themselves.

Even though it has the perceived inhibitory effect of demonic props, everyone looked back if they walked in the city, and if they took the train, they stared.

But the majority of those here did not even look this way, but immediately turned their gaze back to the horse racing newspaper at hand, even if they had a glimpse once in a while.

"Ooh, isn't that a pretty good horse!!

Alana exclaims at the appearance of a racehorse walking leisurely through the paddock.

By the way, Minori is just on Yaichi and Alana looking around uncommonly from earlier, and he hasn't uttered any particular words.

"Oh, that Ash Haired Horse has a pretty tough face. Mmm, those chestnut hairs are splendid too..."

Arriving at the paddock, Alana appears to have just begun to observe the horse.

It's like Alana crushing and crushing her thoughts while seriously observing a horse -

(no different from the old man around...?

From Alana's mouthfeel yesterday, I got the impression that horse racing in the other world was somewhat elegant aristocratic entertainment, but Alana's figure of actually observing horses was amazingly blended into the old folks around.

You got anxious about how she looks like that, Minori is stuck perfectly by Alana.

"Hmmm......, I looked at it all the way through, but that Ash Haired Horse seems to be the best of these"

"Ash hair's, number seven? That's the best..."

"Yeah, miss, you got a pretty good spot to keep your eye on."

"Huh?"

When Minori turned to her voice, there stood a small middle-aged man in a hunting hat.

Though his gaze remains dropped on the horse racing newspaper as he tightened around his temples with a red pen.

"Yes, no, she did"

"Well, well, well."

That's what the hunting hat guy said and turned his eyes to Alana.

"Oh, this is so sweet."

Though he spoke, the man's gaze quickly dissipated his interest in Alana and returned to the horse racing newspaper.

"Do you appreciate that asparagus hair too?

"Hmm? What, an outsider?"

There are demonic props of communication of will, so I can understand a man's language in Alana, but unfortunately not in a man.

"Eh, is your uncle keeping an eye on that Ash Hair kid, too?

So Minori went in between to interpret.

"Hmm? Yeah, that's a good horse for sure, but I haven't been doing very well here lately"

Saying so, the man slapped the horse racing newspaper with a red pen with a ton.

"Hey, I think I'm getting back on track, but I don't think I'm in the mood yet."

"Really? I can see the fighting spirit."

"Eh, she sees a fighting spirit to be regarded from that horse,"

"Ha... funny thing, lady. Well, the odds are good there, too, and maybe we can put them in a double win."

"Fuchsia?"

Apparently, Alana's known horse race did not have a system called double victory, and the pronunciation as it stood parroted it back.

Thereafter, Yaichi will provide an interpreter as appropriate, and the two conversations will be concluded to some extent.

"What, lady, are you an amateur? A double victory is a ticket to win if the horse you choose is in third place."

"Ho ho, that's sweet again a lot"

"Odds go back for that, huh? Well, this race says the blue rack in the same frame is doing pretty well, too. Perhaps I could buy it in a frame with an iron plate cane boss."

"Mmm, not sure what to say again..."

"Oh, the frame."

"No, fine. I'm expecting that asparagus to be the best."

"Ho, buy one win at a time? Nice."

Yangichi, on the other hand, was also staring at the horse.

(That horse looks fine, but is it depressed...)

(Hmm? Is that fatigue on your legs over there?

(Oh, the rider came out too... is he coming with a hangover...)

and [Appraisal +] were observing the condition of horses and riders in detail.

Minori said he was watching the horse intriguingly, but just admiring it.

"Hey Mitsuhito, what's the name of that Ash Haired Horse?

"Hmm? That guy..."

"Hmm..."

(All right, let's start by buying it in a single win. Um, that's box six seven...)

"" Rose Magnum ""

"Hmm?" "That?

Yaichi and Alana face each other for wearing their voices.

"Mmm, what if Lord Yoichi had that Ashi-haired horse too?

"Ash? That white one?

"Heh heh..., Lord Yoichi has a pretty good eye too"

"Well, we have to finish that."

"What will Masato do?

"Oh, I just need to watch"

"Oh well. Then let's go buy tickets."

And the race began.

"Yuke!! Yuku, Rose Magnum!!

"Almost there, good luck!! Run away!!

"Okay, that's good!! Hold it, hold it!!

"One more step!! Step on it. Yeah!!

"" Ahhh...... "

The two fell off their knees.

"Well, that's why you wanted to win a double, right?

"Mmmm..."

As Alana raised her gaze, she had a grin like a hunting hat man who was with her earlier in the paddock.

"... how about that kind of Mitsuhito?

"Me? I'm disappointed in Frameworks and Horses. You were right to listen to the lady's struggles and buy an extra 2-7 Horse Company. Thank you so much."

The hunting hat man handed the plastic bag to Alana. Inside were Imagawa grills, croquettes, and menthikatsu stamped with the stamp of a racetrack mascot.

"Hmmm... I don't know, but if my words have helped, don't hesitate to take them"

"Um, thank you"

Yangichi also shows his face from the side and says thank you to the hunting hat man.

"I mean fine. This lady, I don't know if she's evil in the eye, so don't be greedy and go for a double victory. First thing you have to do is win."

"Oh, yes, I get it"

"All right, Lord Yoichi, we're going to the paddock again!!

"Oops!!

Alana rushed out to the paddock with Yaichi as she deposited the plastic bag she received from the hunting hat man in Minori.

"Good luck."

Minori took the Imagawa grill out of the plastic bag and puckered, then lowered her head gently to the man in the hunting cap waving a flicker and followed Yaichi and Alana for a small run.

In the car back home, Alana was relaxing in the back seat looking at the void with her lost eyes.

He kept himself in Minori, sitting next to him, and was just being stroked in the head.

Thanks to this, the passenger seat is vacant.

"Don't be so depressed. I didn't have a bad eye."

"... no consolation needed"

After all, Alana couldn't win a single one.

Based on the results analyzed in [Appraisal +], Yaichi had taken safety measures to purchase double-win tickets, but Alana focused on single-win.

If it had been a double win, more than half would have won. It's a prediction, so I never had an out-of-target prediction, but apparently Alana has a hot personality when it comes to gambling.

(But that [appraisal +] teacher sounds like he's not good at predicting the future either)

If Yaichi had the analytical ability to read and decipher the information in the horse racing newspaper, for example, the odds of winning would have increased.

But horse racing is too much information needed to win, and it's better to be in his hands, which is its user, than the performance of [appraisal +].

After returning the rental car, Yaichi, whose income and expenses were positive, suggested that we even eat somewhere, but Alana bought dinner at the appropriate lunchbox shop because she didn't seem to be on board, and took the two [back] from out of sight.

"Alana, do you like gambling?

After the meal, Yaichi asked Alana, who was sitting on her knees on the couch and drinking chicken and cafe ole.

"Ki... don't you hate it"

(Ah...... this is my absolute favorite one)

Yaichi anticipated so when she saw Alana, who answered shyly.

"What about Minori?

"I..., you're not very interested"

Minori never bought a ticket today, so I guess that's a sincere answer.

Well, he seemed to enjoy buying and eating inside the track, so it doesn't seem like he was dissatisfied with his company for the day.

"What's wrong with the bet?

"No, it's time to refill the bullets."

"What does that have to do with gambling?

"There are a lot of things that are hard to come by in this country. Then you may go abroad once."

"... Hmm. So?"

"Overseas, there's a city made up of gambling."

"Alright, let's go!!

and it was Alana who replied a little to the feeling of eating.

"Oh, how's Minori? I don't seem very interested in gambling or anything..."

"The city of gambling is over there, isn't it?

Yaichi gave the name of a famous city in the United States and briefly explained the city to Alana, who wanted to hear more about it.

"Well, there's something about a city that suddenly appears in the desert that leads to my Mailgrad."

"Sure, if you ask me. So, how's Minori?

"I'd like to go there."

If you ask, Minori seems to see overseas drama there, preferring a slightly older drama with a casino in that city or a drama with a theme of scientific investigation, and what do you actually want to see?

When it comes to the city of gambling, besides casinos, there are plenty of shows and other entertainment, so the story that anyone can enjoy if they go has been pinched in Yaichi's ears.

"Oh, but I don't have a passport..."

"If that's what you mean, Alana doesn't even have a family registration. Don't worry about the neighborhood."

Since Yaichi has already been able to apply for a passport previously, it's just a story that one of him should travel first, take the appropriate hotel and set up a home point, and then use [return +] to take the two.

"Oh, there's gonna be a flight I can take right now when I get to the airport."

I was searching appropriately on my smartphone, and Yaichi took the ticket as it was because I had a flight leaving just in time that I would be able to get on if I went through the boarding process to the airport now.

"Okay, I'm gonna go for a second."

"I'm coming, yeah. ⁉ Hey, wait a minute."

Minori hastily pulled Yaichi toward the front door with the feeling that he was going that far.

"What's wrong?

"No, going, you mean leaving now, right?

"Right."

"Um... international travel..., right?

"Well, you will"

"Why don't we usually have more, like, this kind of luggage or something?

At first glance, Yaichi is dressed as she is dressed.

"Um, but what I need is in [infinite storage +], and I wish I could just go over there and [return +] and pick up what I'm missing"

"Uh..."

In Yangichi's words, Minori gave a somewhat frightened expression while convinced.

"Uh, what's up?

"No, it's nothing"

Actually, Minori, when I heard I was going to an overseas city, I dreamed of buying around a lot of things I needed, and struggling to pack my suitcase.

On second thought, however, if Yangichi had the skills, it would be unrelated to the hardships he had done, and furthermore, it occurred to Minori that the city he had visited the other day was much further away than the city he was about to go to.

"Um, take care"

"Um, Lord Yoichi, be careful. Leave it to us to stay away."

"Oh. 'Cause I think I'll be able to pick you up around midnight tomorrow."

That's what Yaichi left the room for.
