Spider - One Day Friday (1)

Uuun…

C’mon, c’mon! No matter how long it’s got you stumped for, your tiles won’t change!

Quit your worrying and just choose your discarded tiles already, Kohaku-chan!

Shut it. You’re distracting me so just shut up already.

Okay, I’ve decided! I’ll pick this tile.

Fuu~n. I’m starting to see what your plan is now, Kohaku-chan, but I guess that goes both ways.

Woah…! This tile! It feels good in my hand! Not only that, but these four bumps I feel on my fingers…!

Alllllright! It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! I’ve been waiting for you, Goddess of Luck-chan~!

Gyahaha! Today’s my lucky day! I’m gonna win this game in a flash! Riichi¹!

⁠—Fu. Amagi, you can get heated all you want, but please don’t make such a racket. This is still a public place of relaxation. HiMERU doesn’t want to be side-eyed.

On top of that, HiMERU will also call “riichi”.

Wha⁠—? Rinne-han went, and then HiMERU-han did it too?! Uun…

(Will this tile work…? ⁠—No way, isn’t that too risky? I guess I really can only play this one here…)

Kohaku-chan, Kohaku-chan! That tile there is too dangerous, this tile here might be cheaper.

Really? So then, in that case, Niki-han is right. I’ll cut this tile right here, so there.

Arrrgh! Niki, you bastard! The hell are you advising him for? You’re working, so get your ass back to it!

Oh no~ …I was just gonna leave it as is, too. But I just felt really bad for Kohaku-chan falling for Rinne-kun’s poison, since he doesn’t know much about mahjong.

Right, here’s each of your orders. Even though there’s so many limited autumn specials, everyone is still getting their usuals. If I were any of you, I’d choose the specials above anything else!

Dumbass. A man should always have a one track mind with what he sets his heart on.

Big talk coming from the most careless person here.

Right, right. Niki sure loves my knuckle sandwiches doesn’t he? I’ll feed you as much as you want, so eat up!

Agyagaga! Mmphhrmmph (As much as I love anything I can eat, I definitely won’t eat thooose…!)

C’mon, Rinne-han. You too, Niki-han. Quit getting violent, you’ll cause a scene.

Fine. Yeah, I got it.

Augh! Come on… I was totally dragged into this. I didn’t even say anything wrong.

And, for the record, as a chef I couldn’t possibly let myself ignore these limited time offers. A time that’s limited like this means that it’s the perfect time to enjoy ingredients that are in season. Autumn is like a treasure chest of food~!

Speaking of autumn. There’s an event next month called “ES Halloween” that will be held.

Amagi, is “Crazy:B” not going to participate? Up until today, the subject hasn’t been brought up.

Nn…?

…

Ah. That’s right! I totally forgot to let you guys know. Rinne-kun’s such a careless little bee~

Just what are you on about?

“Crazy:B” is also gonna participate in “ES Halloween”!

Hah?! You should’ve said so sooner!

“Crazy:B” is participating too…just what on earth are we gonna do?

A live concert, of course! Called “Foooo! Let’s Halloween Night”! Sounds like a super fun event for us, right? So let’s get fired up and excited!

Halloween, huh…?

Hm? Kohaku-chan, you don’t look too interested?

It’s not that I’m not interested… I’m just not familiar with it.

⁠—Well, it’s true that Halloween hadn’t become so popular until recently.

Not long ago, Halloween was simply seen as a Western event that was almost unfamiliar to people here in Japan. At most, Christmas may have been the only other important holiday here.

It’s like my time has finally come for me! Halloween is my favorite holiday~, so I’m glad it’s getting popular!

Fuu~n…I don’t get why it got so popular so fast.

Ah. What’s that? Could it be you don’t know about Halloween, Kohaku-chan? You’re a pretty boxed up kid, aren’t you?

That’s because I’ve been “boxed up” in a zashikirou.²

There, there. I’m gonna give you a full time course on etiquette so that you don’t feel left out at the event, Kohaku-chan!

Don’t pat me so casually. I know what Halloween is. I may not have experienced it, but I learned about it plenty from the Internet.

These days, it just seems like an excuse for younger people to walk around in cosplay. Well, either way, it’s just a childish event.

Agreed. But apparently, the Halloween event held at ES this year is not just child’s play.

Huh…?
