Chapter 322 Captain Version Hom
Since the oversized Hom doll that Theresa wanted was not a particularly rare item, the probability of drawing it was still quite high, basically occupying about 40% of the turntable.
The captain and Theresa were very confident that they could hit the target with one shot.
Captain: "Theresa, are you ready?"
Theresa: "Captain, we are ready. Now listen to my command. When I count to three, we will press it together!"
The captain said OK.
"1...2...3!"
They both pressed the button at the same time, and the love turntable was successfully activated.
However, the captain seemed to have forgotten that he was still under the punishment of [Curse from Yaezakura].
The result is that the pointer just passed by the oversized Hoom doll option and stopped at the extremely small probability of "Thank you for your patronage".
If you don't look carefully at the option "Thank you for your patronage", you won't be able to notice the existence of this option on the turntable with your naked eyes.
This shocked the captain. He didn't expect that he and Theresa would have such bad luck.
“Aaaaah! What the hell is going on? The odds were so high, but I got the lowest probability and most useless prize!”
Theresa looked at the captain in disbelief. She herself had not expected that her luck today would be so bad. It was almost as bad as Fu Hua's.
Captain: "Hiss, this shouldn't be the case. Normally, I wouldn't be so unlucky when I draw from the card pool. Did I forget to check the almanac before I went out today?"
After going through many difficulties, Theresa saw the oversized Homunculus doll right in front of her, but it failed at the most critical moment.
Theresa cried and beat the captain's chest with her hammer, "Wow, why, Captain? If this happens, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
Alicia, who was standing by, couldn't stand seeing a cute girl cry. Seeing that the captain didn't know what to do, Alicia kindly reminded him, "Captain, the couple's package can be purchased repeatedly. Do you want to try again?"
The captain remembered it only after being reminded by Alicia, and quickly comforted Theresa, "Yes, Theresa, don't worry, I'll go order another couple's meal to get a lottery ticket."
Having said that, the captain immediately went to the waiter and ordered another one.
After a long while, the captain and Theresa finally managed to finish the entire set meal. They were so full that they wanted to vomit. After all, they were not big eaters like Kiana who could eat so much.
Theresa said with a bulging belly, "I can't do it anymore. The portion of this meal is a bit too big... Captain, you are responsible~"
Captain: "You can go back and tell Rosemary to cook one less portion of food tonight."
The captain helped Theresa up from her seat and went to the love wheel again with the lottery ticket.
The same operation, the turntable starts again...
The captain and Theresa stared at the turntable intently, and soon the pointer began to slow down.
As the pointer showed the prize of the oversized Hoom doll getting closer, Theresa couldn't help but get excited.
When the pointer reached the prize for the oversized Hoom doll, Theresa was about to jump for excitement, but now the pointer was moving as slowly as a snail.
Plus, the prize station for the oversized Homunculus doll was spread over a large area, making it almost impossible to get past.
However, something incredible happened. The pointer seemed to have infinite power and kept moving clockwise.
Seeing that the pointer was about to leave the prize area for the oversized Hom doll, Theresa's expression became more and more terrified, and she began to pray in her heart.
(Goddess of Luck, please stop the pointer and don’t move it anymore!)
Unfortunately, Theresa's prayers were not answered by the goddess of luck, and in the end, the pointer happened to stop at the "Thank you for your patronage" award.
At this moment, Theresa was about to collapse. When she wanted to take out Judas and smash the broken turntable, she was stopped by the captain, "No, Theresa, you have to calm down! It's not that bad, it's not that bad."
Theresa: "Captain, don't stop me. I must fix this broken turntable!"
At this time, the proprietress came over and looked at the captain and his companions in disbelief, her eyes full of pity.
Love is like this. It is not only about the feelings between two people, but also about fate.
The same is true when she designed a "Thank you for your patronage" sign on the turntable.
If you are unlucky enough to draw it, it means that you two lovers may not be destined to be together.
The proprietress was very puzzled. She had clearly made the prize almost invisible, but she didn't expect that a couple would win it twice in a row today.
The proprietress couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, maybe this is fate..."
Theresa was unconvinced and said, "Damn it, I don't believe it! Captain, let's go have another meal! If I don't win today, I won't be called Theresa!"
The captain hurried to stop Theresa's crazy behavior. Now their stomachs could hardly hold any food.
"Theresa, don't be impulsive. I'll ask the boss if I can buy one directly, okay~"
Theresa thought about it and nodded gently. Today was too unlucky. She almost began to suspect that Fu Hua's bad luck had spread to her because she had been so close to her recently.
Alicia reminded, "I'm sorry to tell you this unfortunate news, Captain. The boss lady does not accept direct purchase of awards."
"Before, a couple was not satisfied with the prizes they won and wanted to spend a lot of money to buy them directly, but they were rejected by the boss lady."
"It means that love bought with money is not pure."
Theresa's heart sank to the bottom again when she heard this. The captain then remembered the punishment he had received in the live Q&A room before, [The Curse from Yae Sakura].
After all, the punishment lasts for a month. No wonder I always get the guaranteed bonus when drawing cards in the game recently.
However, the captain would not tell this matter to anyone, as he was worried that if he did so, he would lose his remaining salary.
So the captain asked Theresa to stand there and wait for a while, and he went to a hidden corner.
Take out the Hom costume and put it on...
"Your Highness Theresa, please stop crying, okay?"
Theresa looked up and saw a homunculus whose ears were so big that they were about to poke the ceiling.
This appearance also attracted the attention of other couples, even the boss.
Captain: "Um... Princess Theresa, this is the only one of its kind. It's yours now."
There was still that signature silly smile on Houm's face, which made Theresa laugh out loud uncontrollably.
Theresa knew in her heart that the idiot was under the hood, but she still got into the captain's arms. "Ha~ Captain Houm... You feel so soft in my arms... Thank you, Captain."
A sweet voice came from her chest, and the captain hugged Theresa back. The girl buried her whole face in him, and her messy white hair spread between them.
