The end bell rang and Count Asla, who saw the blue cloth wrapped around Rayphone's arm back in the square, had a slightly unfortunate look on his face as if it were after all.
Then the announcement of the winner, the award of the prize, etc. was executed smoothly, and the city of Tester ended without much fun such as this.
"Congratulations, Brother Ray. And congratulations."
"Congratulations, brother Ray!
It was Ira and Lung who spoke to Rayphone.
"Thanks. Like I said, I got away. You won, didn't you?
Rayphone returned the words in a good mood.
"Yeah! That's amazing!
"Yeah, but I guess I'm a little sorry I couldn't see how Brother Ray was running away"
"Sure. Video cameras weren't around. Besides, I was in the woods with nobody in the second half, so the parties would only know what it was about... but..."
There were still stalls and such in the evening square, which was crowded with people.
Besides, it looks more like people are gathering together than during the day, and it also looks like a festival.
"- I wonder who else would have won besides the participants and the people who were making the bet. Well, it must have been like having fun making a scene."
"Video camera or entertainment? But I was very supportive of Brother Ray."
"Lun was there, too! And I already did!
"Did you make money?
"Hey, hey, Lun!
Ira in a hurry for Lun's words.
"Hmm?"
Lun tilting his neck.
"Ahhh, was Ira doing it too? I'm not angry at you. So how much did you bet and how much did you make?
Rayphone who thinks it won't be a big sum.
"It's... it's... it's good for you"
Ira answers the amount in her ear so that only Rayphone can hear her.
"!? You...... don't quite do it"
Rayphone looking just a little more surprised with the amount than expected.
"Well... it just so happens."
Ira Confidence is also amazed at the amount, she still remains confused and returns words to Rayphone to be humble, but honestly didn't know what words to return.
"I happen to be about your age and I don't usually bet that amount. Isla's only 10, isn't she?
"Oh, that's..."
"It's eleven! Hey, Ira, sister, it's your day!
Lun answered with a cheerful voice before Ira answered.
"Is that true?
"But... I don't even know if it's a proper day of birth"
Ira with a bitter laugh like trouble.
"He said that's fine. Then it's Ira's birthday celebration and my victory celebration."
Smiling Rayphone.
"I'm nothing... and if you're a jerk, my..."
"Fine, fine."
Nico laughs. Rayphone blocks Ira's words.
"What about Lun?
I was just a little dissapointed that I couldn't get just myself to celebrate, and Lun, who seemed lonely, was tilting his neck.
"Lun... good luck celebrating"
"Good luck? Yeah! Lun, good luck!
Innocent Lun delighted with the appropriately thought out Rayphone celebration.
"Speaking of which, what happened to the three of you?
Rayphone I notice now.
"You mean the sisters? My sisters would have gone somewhere along the way when Brother Ray was up on the stage..."
"I see. I guess you regretted not being able to get me."
Rayphone to appear convinced at will of Ira's response.
"I know I have that too..."
You're saying something, Ira.
"Hmm? Ma, okay. All right! We're going as luxurious as planned today!
But I wouldn't dare, Rayphone wouldn't ask.
And he declared with a smile that he was going to a fancy meal for both of them.
"Then I'll take the money."
"What are you talking about? Look, Ira might have made some money too, but it's your birthday celebration, right? And how many times as much money do you think Ira earned?"
"But..."
A reluctant Ira.
"Who am I?
"Ray, brother?
Ira returned the words nervously to Rayphone, who only got a serious look for a moment.
"Yes. I'm your brother. So don't let your sister worry about your brother. And just one thing from my brother. Not this time, but don't bet anymore."
Rayphone speaking and advising with a gentle expression.
"Yeah... this time its... brother Ray's sister, right? I've also been invited. Because I believed Brother Ray would always win. So... you know... it's special this time. No more."
I'm glad that my sister was treated. Ira answered with a lighted look.
"Oh well. So it's time to go?
To Rayphone, who smiled back at me.
"Yeah!"
and Ira replied vibrantly with such a smile that she could not beat Lun.
