Chapter.20 A Week in Korea

Anyway, the conclusion is that there is no need for Rurin to make a fuss because she wants to pick a doll.

Of course, since I come in, they follow me anyway.

“What is all this? They’re little guys. “It looks lifeless.”

“that’s right. It’s just a doll. “This is a machine that makes such dolls.”

“Among my fellow tribesmen, there was one who trapped rare monsters and starved them to death. Is that something like that?”

“No, it’s different from those bad tastes.”

As expected, Lulin doesn’t seem to be interested at all. But I had some confidence. Due to Lurin’s personality, I am sure that even if she is not interested in dolls, the act of picking them out will show interest.

“You’ll know when you look.”

I put in the 1,000 won bill that I changed into the machine. Tiririring music rings.

Let’s see.

I grabbed the doll’s body nearby with my tongs. It clearly went in correctly. However, Krabs soon drops the doll helplessly to the floor and returns home alone.

“what.”

Cursing comes out automatically.

Just looking at it, it is a machine that has greatly reduced the force of the tongs. My thousand won. A thousand won disappeared. And the dragon’s powerful sneer is added.

“Puhahahaha. “What are you doing?”

“What! Things like that happen, too.”

“That can’t be possible. Isn’t this like fishing? You can tell just by looking at it. But I can’t! Puhahaha!”

“Don’t laugh, you damn dragon!”

After being laughed at, my desire to challenge grew even greater. This time I decided to use my head. This is a secret I used even when I was young. I was confused by the size of the dolls and machines, but perhaps all claw machines are similar.

I put the thousand won bill back.

Music played from the machine again, and I moved the claws with the stick.

When the force of the tongs is weak, it is best to create a mountain around the hole where the doll falls. Then, place the doll on the mountain and drop it as if pushing it. In this way, you can pull it out even if the force of the tongs is weak.

Of course, it is difficult at once. Luckily though, there were quite a few dolls piled up around the hole I was aiming for. Now, all you have to do is drag the doll you are aiming for up to the top of the mountain.

The funny thing about the tongs is that they first pick up a doll that is far away, get close to the falling hole, and then place it as if they had calculated it on purpose.

And if you catch something near the falling hole, you let it go without even lifting it properly.

It seemed like the machine’s program had been manipulated that way.

It’s absurd.

So anyway, drag something from far away and drop it near the hole to build a mountain.

“Whoa… .”

I invested a whopping 3,000 won so far.

Rurin pressed her face against the glass and then sneered at me again.

“Shouldn’t you just pick it up and drop it in that hole? You are so bad at it. “More stupid than stupid!”

“what? What a joke. Do you think you can do it? “Then shall we make a bet?”

“Hehehe, it’s been a while since I took on a challenge? good night. “I accept it!”

Lulin nodded with a confident and triumphant look on his face. Even I, who know the characteristics of machines well, are like this, so what are you doing?

This is 100% my victory.

“Then you go to the side. I do it here. “It’s a bet on who can spend less money and get the doll?”

“i get it. “If you lose, don’t even think about leaving my side tonight!”

Lurin chattered excitedly with a cackling face. Normally, it would be a difficult bet, but there is no way I would lose.

“okay. I accept it. Please accept it. If you lose, go back and wake up early in the morning and go to the market together to buy groceries!”

Since I had set a wager condition that I avoided, I also put up a condition that Rurin could never do.

But Lurin is very confident.

“Wake up in the morning? “That is nothing.”

What would a dragon who never woke up in the morning say? A guy who won’t wake up even if you force him to wake up and won’t wake up even if you carry him on his back?

Okay, if you’re that confident, let’s do something. I also nodded. The bet is settled. Of course, there is a reason why I am confident.

I mean, I’ve already done the work, like building up a mountain. So now the doll selection is just around the corner. However, in Rurin’s machine, there aren’t many dolls piled up next to the hole where the dolls fall.

It may seem like something shameful, but it was Lurin who provoked it first. So, I was sure to win this bet.

Since carelessness is the root of certain defeat, I entered the battlefield as cautiously as possible. I take a deep breath and insert the bill into the machine.

The music came on again and the claws started moving. A tong that moves with music.

If you have made a doll that hangs over the falling hole, all you have to do is gently lift the end of the doll with tongs. The tongs still raise the doll at a nearby point to a certain height before releasing it.

In that very act, the tongs push the doll draped under the life raft and drop it. If it hangs properly over the end of the hole.

But the first one was a failure.

I couldn’t hold the other end of the doll properly. Lurin’s voice is heard immediately.

“You failed once!”

“Okay, okay.”

Just once, okay?

I put the bill back in. This time I’m sure. Yes, the tongs properly hold the end of the doll. And lift it. The doll rotates 360 degrees and falls as if pushed into the hole. yes!

Finally, the doll was pushed and fell down the hole. It’s a success. Hehehe. Success twice. This is my victory as I subtly subtracted the number of times I did earlier.

“How about it, Lulin, this is my second time.”

“Why did you get caught doing something like this twice? “I show you.”

Lulin stood triumphantly in front of the machine, exuding groundless confidence. Move the joystick. But the pincers don’t move.

Of course. Because I didn’t put any money in. And he looks at me with strange eyes.

Even if you look at me with that face, of course it doesn’t work because you didn’t put in any money.

I went next to Lulin, who was glaring at the machine with the intention of destroying it, and put money into the machine.

And he motioned for me to do it. No matter what you do, there is no way you will be selected at once. Hehehe.

“Take a good look!”

Lurin moves the joystick with confidence. It looks like he figured out how to use it just by watching me do it.

The claw moves towards the doll in the distance. And the tongs go into the gap of the doll.

“hmm?”

At the same time, the tongs begin to rise. Okay, since the doll is far away, I guess I’ll have to drag it to some extent. First of all, I looked at it with that feeling. When I picked up a doll that was far away, I dropped it when it was right in front of my nose.

But the tongs that are looking at it, hoping for it, keep moving. continue. Why do you keep moving?

It’s time to let go, but I won’t let go.

The tongs even hold the doll tightly and carry it to the hole. And opened the tongs. A moment of shock.

The doll fell into the hole.

This is ridiculous. This. How could this happen!

Oh, by the way, I’ve heard that in claw machines, the gripping force of the tongs becomes stronger every dozens of times. This means that the machine’s program can be set up that way. So, is it the lucky time that you get one if you do a lot?

Why now?

I looked at Lulin with a frustrated face.

“Hehehehe I won! This time, I will never change it to something else. “Last time, I won with a tight hug and was fooled by the earrings, but this time, there’s no problem, dear!”

Lurin started jumping around excitedly.

Even if something is wrong with this, it is very wrong, right? It can’t be like this. How can I live in vain like this?

I put the money back into the machine Lurin used.

“Lurin, try again.”

“What? Can not be done!”

“No, no, it’s not a bet, just give it a try.”

“okay? That’s okay though. You want to see my skills! good night! “Take a good look, girl!”

Lurin moved the joystick again.

Then, lift the doll with tongs and drop it into the hole. What on earth is this?

“Look! you! “Hehehe.”

“You didn’t use mana, did you?”

“What mana are you using here?”

“Yeah, I didn’t feel like I was using mana, so I guess that’s not the case.”

I was in tears and approached the machine. Isn’t this machine a particularly good choice? I put in 1,000 won while doubting the machine.

Then the crab picks up the doll and immediately puts it away.

What’s happening.

I looked at Lurin with a bewildered expression. This is it. I remembered the very moment when I suffered a crushing defeat while trying to play Gonggi on the night of a typhoon.

Could it be called the hand of God?

“Whoa… . “I lost.”

We had no choice but to declare defeat. I guess I just have a hidden talent for drawing. What a talent for drawing.

Without moving, I was doomed to become the pillow that Lurin sleeps on tonight.

I hate to admit it, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I did that.

Expecting a rough night, I trudged out of the claw machine room.

“You, you, you! Go together! You’re showing your back as a loser! Okay. are you okay. Hehehe!”

Rurin follows excitedly from behind. Laughing excitedly.

***

ruined.

There is probably no way to explain my situation other than saying I’m screwed.

When on earth does that damn 24-hour cuddling disappear from the betting conditions? I had that thought the whole time I was walking. How will we get out of this crisis this time? shit. Heaven!

That goddamn sky has never helped me, so I guess I can just pray.

My brain is going crazy.

Lulin also goes crazy.

“Let’s go back quickly, dear!”

They are jumping around excitedly and pulling people into the hotel. I lost the bet last time too. I lost on the same bet. But back then there were earrings. Shiny, pretty earrings.

Because I had that earring, I was able to sneak away at that time.

no. It is said that even if the sky falls, there is a hole that will emerge. I had to find a way to escape somehow, but the moment I thought that this damn dragon was pulling people in so hard that I felt dizzy.

The world turns black. And it shakes. dizzy. This dizziness is due to teleportation.

“Hey man! “You said you don’t have mana!”

“When did I do that!”

“Is that what you said earlier?”

“I don’t know! Hi-Hi.”

Have you been saving up your mana?

Because of the damn teleportation, I was back in my hotel room in the blink of an eye.

The reason why things happened this way is simple. I just said that we should start executing the bet after returning.

Then he came back right away.

It’s a total mess.

“You have 24 hours from now, so you’ll have plenty of time.”

“Okay, I think we need to shorten the time a bit.”

“I can’t hear you. “You say really strange things sometimes.”

“What’s strange! Man, you have to eat and wash, and that’s it. “How can you stay together for 24 hours!”

“I do not know. You just have to feed it yourself. You can also do the washing. “It’s natural.”

Yeah, it’s a bet.

I have nothing to say. This is why I don’t go somewhere and make bets. It’s a shortcut to ruin.

They even feed me food. I feel like it’s a little different than usual.

No, you shouldn’t accept it.

Just sleep first. Just sleep and that’s enough. I crawled into bed.

I deliberately took a twin room. It’s the same as in a restaurant. Forced to sleep on the other side of the bed. But every time I wake up, it’s always the same bed. This is also the same situation as in a restaurant.

In other words, as long as you don’t worry about Lurin and just fall asleep, it’s okay. I’m a bit nervous, so once I fall asleep, I don’t wake up often.

When Lurin closes her eyes and starts drooling next to me, my feelings become complicated for various reasons and I cannot sleep.

This dragon has a knack for making your heart flutter when it closes its mouth and makes a normal expression.

So if you fall asleep before that happens, everything will be okay.
