"Oh, by the way, if darling is satisfied, please sign here," said Miyuki, as she handed over a piece of paper and a pen.

"Ah, oh, is this about evaluating the dishes? Where should I write?"

"Here," Miyuki pointed to a corner with her finger.

"Oh, here? No problem... Wait, what is this?"

At that moment, Ryuto finally noticed something was off and exclaimed excitedly.

"This... this is a marriage agreement. I almost signed it without realizing!"

And why did this girl fill in her own name already?

"..."

"..."

The other two also reacted inexplicably.

Meanwhile, the instigator acted as if it was perfectly normal.

"What are you talking about, darling? Isn't signing this just a matter of time? And if you pass your internship, shouldn't you officially start working? Isn't this the basic process?"

"This is just your own imagination. Don't say things that don't exist. Although the basic process is correct..."

Despite his headache, Ryuto explained loudly.

Just then...

"Ding-dong."

The doorbell rang.

"Hmm? What's this now?"

Why does this situation give off a strong sense of déjà vu?

But he couldn't keep the person waiting.

So, Ryuto immediately got up to open the door, mainly to escape the battlefield.

"Who is it?"

He asked as he opened the door.

"Oh, hello, is this Amagi Ryuto? Here's a letter for you," said the mailman.

Once again, a mailman appeared in front of him. What's with this strong sense of déjà vu?

Could it be another exploding phone? Although it changed from a package to a letter, he couldn't be careless. After all, nowadays phones are very thin, and there should be no problem fitting one into an envelope. It was too naive to think I wouldn't recognize it just because you changed the packaging.

Despite having many doubts, Ryuto could only sign for it if there was no mistake in the delivery.

After seeing off the mailman, Ryuto felt the thin envelope. Huh?

Can phones nowadays be this thin? It feels like there's only paper inside. Have they already completed their research on ultra-thin phones?

Unconsciously, Ryuto assumed that there was an exploding phone inside, or maybe even more than one.

Just then, Miyuki ran over excitedly.

"Darling, what is it? Could it be an engagement ring for me?"

"Don't say things that don't exist."

After his habitual retort, Ryuto opened the envelope.

The first thing that came out was a postcard with something written on it.

Mr. Amagi Ryuto, you have won the first prize in the Fantasy Future Lottery.

Oh, so that's what it is. Halfway through reading, Ryuto remembered. It was a lottery held in a game recently, and Ryuto participated. After all, the first prize was a limited edition figure of a certain protagonist. This was something Ryuto had always wanted to get.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, but unexpectedly, he won. Oh, has good luck finally come?

With these thoughts in mind, Ryuto continued reading.

Thanks to the temporary strong support from certain sponsors, the first prize has been upgraded from a figurine to a four-person, four-day luxury trip to the Kingdom of Flosta. Congratulations again on winning the grand prize, and your travel tickets are enclosed in the envelope. Have a pleasant journey.

"Well, this is unexpected. Is this what they call a honeymoon trip?" Miku on the side got excited again.

But Ryuto was too exhausted to complain anymore, just kneeling on the ground with a numb expression.

...

Damn it, why did they have to get all fancy with the prize upgrade? My figurine...

Ryuto screamed in his heart.

Indeed, Amagi Ryuto was having a string of bad luck.
