Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

Chapter 60

60. The Result

The people behind me keep cheering me, and the pressure from it is killing me…

And If I don’t get one of the grand prizes, it’ll become even more troublesome…. After all, I could hear the voice in my back.

「If you don’t get the grand prize, I’ll give you my lottery ticket!!」

That’s the voice.

Even more, it’s not just one person, but many people, and it’s increasing, just like cheering….

It keeps infecting the surrounding, huh… so scary!!

However, to be honest…

I don’t really care about winning the lottery!!

Why did it become like this…

Will they keep giving their tickets to me until I get the first prize?…

Is it okay to stop in the middle?… I feel like they’ll say ‘No!’.

Could I pull myself out of this situation? It’s just a lottery you know! Damn!

………… Well, should I pull it now?

I spun the lottery machine, and the ball came out.

The colour was … gold!

I, the auntie at the reception, and the people around me became quiet. Then, a few seconds later, the auntie smiled and rang the bell. At the same time, a resonating cheer of congratulations could be heard… and they suddenly said, ‘let's lift him high!!’.

…Wait a minute! These guys just want to touch me, aren’t they?!

“Hey! Wait …”

“Stop!!!”

A loud voice could be heard when they almost touched me. The people who were approaching me stopped.

That voice came from the receptionist’s auntie… She looked at the people who had stopped moving and….

“You guys, do you know what you were trying to do? You were trying to touch the boy without permission!”

“We-Well, that is …”

The people around me were made aware that they were trying to do something terrible to me, and they were stunned on the spot.

But, the auntie keeps talking regardless of those people.

“It’s certainly a thing to be congratulated, and I know you all want to celebrate it.”

“That’s right! I just want to celebrate!”

“And so?!… just because of that reason, all of you want to be a pervert who likes to touch a boy without permission?!”

“I, I don’t have any ulterior motive…”

“It doesn’t matter! What if you touch him and the boy becomes gynophobic?!”

“Ugghhhh …”

The people were scolded by the auntie.

Surprisingly, the auntie hadn’t said anything to me about who is the winner so far.

…..could I go home now?

When I started thinking so, the auntie turned to me.

“Sorry, these people didn't particularly have any bad intentions, so please don’t make a big deal of this, okay?…”

“Hmm, Okay… Well, nothing has been done to me …”

“Thank you. Then I’ll bring you the prize.”

The auntie said so and went somewhere. And left behind the people with me.

…… Should I just leave them alone?

I decided so, but then, the depressed people apologised to me one after another.

When I forgave them, one of them asked for a handshake.

“A handshake?”

“Y-Yes!…No! I don’t have any ulterior motive! I just wanted to congratulate the one who is lucky enough to win the first prize! So, it’s not like I wanted to touch it! Really! It’s not like that!”

No matter how, it looks like you have an ulterior motive. After all, somehow there is an atmosphere of wanting to touch me, coming out from them.

Is that what they call a lewd aura…?

When I tried to look around, I could see that the people around her were also expecting it. So, I decided to reply…

“I refuse.”

“God is deadー!!”

The people, who heard my reply, collapsed after saying so.

…Well, there are quite a few people, and it’s not like I’m aiming for an idol either.

When we had such an exchange, the auntie came back and gave me the prize. At that time, she tilted her neck a little when she saw the people who were crying and collapsed, but she seemed not to care.

“Then, this is the first prize. It’s a special pre-opening ticket, so be careful because the deadline is fixed.”

“Thank you very much.”

When I received the prize, the auntie smiled and asked me to continue to visit the shopping district from now on too.

I thanked her and went home.…… But I’m strangely tired even though I just came for a lottery.

By the way, I bought and ate chicken skewers on my way home. It was delicious.

When I got home, I reported that I had won the first prize in a lottery, and soon we made plans for the trip and decided to go on next week, when there are three consecutive holidays. I made a reservation at the ryokan as soon as possible, and after that I just waited for the day to come, but since the invitation ticket I got was for four people, I could invite one person other than my family, but my mother asked me to invite my neighbour. So, it was decided if Kikusui-san would participate if she was not busy on those days.

…… Is that person’s work going to be okay? Well, she is a novel writer, so maybe she can keep writing it at the travel destination.

Well, I don’t know whether she wants to work even though it’s a trip.

I tried to search about our travel destinations, it seems that there are many places that we can go, there are famous places and foods, and from information that I got, there are many delicious local sales with delicious fish and meat. Also, they said that it is a place with beautiful scenery, it can relax your mind.

I just hope that there, my mother will not get drunk……. and me too.

But! it’s not uncommon for people to lose tire restraint when travelling, so it should be allowed! That’s why, it’s okay to drink and get drunk, right? Well, I think so! Rather, the purpose of travelling is to enjoy the day to the fullest, right?

With excitement, I’m looking forward to the day of my trip.
