[backgroundSFX: KA-GLOMP]
Koyoi: 60 hours of hard toil... the great hero Koyoi has finally prevailed!!

Koyoi: I'll make it nice and warm~!♡

Yoshihiko: Hey... going home now...

Koyoi: Nooo! I haven't drawn my fortune yet!
Yoshihiko: Huh... what the hell, why not. // Let's see...
[sFX: fwip]
[FortuneTicket:]
Uncertain Luck
If you don't wish for too much, you should be able to enjoy yourself well enough, yeah?
[/FortuneTicket]
Yoshihiko: I guess that means I haven't really got a chance in hell of my wish coming true... // [aside]heheheh...[/aside]
Koyoi: All right! I'm gonna get me an "excellent luck"! // Aaaaaahhh!!
[sFX: DOOOON]
[FortuneTicket:]
Terrible Luck
Everything you do will backfire; you will make enemies, your wishes go ungranted. A whole year of bad luck.
[/FortuneTicket]
Koyoi: Ah - ah - ah - ah - aah......
[sFX: gape]
Yoshihiko: Oh, well, you know! They do say you need to be pretty damn lucky to get one of those "Terrible Luck" things... [aside]eheheh...[/aside] / We just have to tie it up over there and everything'll be fine! Okay?!

7
Yoshihiko: I'm telling you... // Terrible Luck's a good thing, really! It's got real impact! Hell, I got Uncertain Luck, that's just boring, you know? / Besides, I bet you used up all your bad luck for the year just getting that thing...
Koyoi: Don't worry about me, Onii-chan... // I may have got Terrible Luck, / But as long as you're nice to me, I feel like I got Excellent Luck anyway! // Besides, I'm a great and powerful warrior who has overcome many trials! // [aside]Yeah![/aside]
Yoshihiko: ...Back to that game you were playing again?
Koyoi: (Last year, I found out that Onii-chan has a girl he likes... / And now I've drawn a terrible fortune, too... I'll have to be careful. // I will not lose!)
[bubbleSFX: clench]
