Delivery Boy and Masked Girl - A delivery boy discovers the secret of a beautiful gal at his delivery destination. - Chapter 45: Presents and Roulette.

Presents and Roulette.

“Okay now! Is everyone ready?”

“Ready.”

“Y-yeah!”

“Okay.”

“All right! Ready! Boom!”

At Minai’s call, we all put our bags out on the table at once.

Two for each of us, for a total of eight.

They were all different sizes and colors.

After the meal, we were to have a gift exchange organized by Minai.

To be honest, this was my first time at such an event, so I wasn’t sure how it would go.

Well, I guess it was supposed to be a random exchange of gifts brought by us.

“Now, let’s see who will get my super-sensible present!”

“I’m so nervous… I hope the one receiving it will be happy with it…”

“Well, I’m sure mine will be most appreciated, guys.”

“What is… this huge thing?””

In front of Minai, there was a large bag.

I have been wondering about it for quite some time, but I still don’t know what it is.

“fufufufu~~ I’m saving this one for later! Well, You guys will just have to wait and see!”

“Reminds me of a tongue-tied sparrow.”

“Hey, Yuuga! No references!”

Bigger spells are hazier, and always have been.

“Did you guys follow the terms?”

“Up to 2,000 yen, right?”

“That’s right! Two of them! That’s why you get two!”

According to Minai, it is not good if the price is too high, and it is more interesting if the price is fixed.

Well, I would feel uncomfortable if I received something too expensive, so I think it would be just right.

“How are we going to distribute them? Minai-chan.”

“Fufufu~ I’ve got the lottery app installed!”

“Oh, that’s just what I expected from a well-prepared devil.”

Minai proudly turned the screen of her phone toward us.

Eight items were set in a sort of roulette.

I see, this is how we’re gonna distribute the gifts.

“Keep on drawing! If you get yours, you get another one!”

At Minai’s instruction, we took turns spinning the roulette wheel.

My gift hit Minai and Haruomi early on, and I was given one from each of them.

I didn’t know what was inside, so it didn’t matter which one it was.

That’s what I thought, but…

“Yuuga-chi! You hit the jackpot!”

“…”

The large bag that Minai had brought with her was, of course, passed on to me.

It was just the right size to hold in both hands, but it was strangely light.

Moreover, it felt awfully soft.

What is this really…?

“I’m curious to see what’s inside…”

“I have a bad feeling about this, though.”

“Yes now! Did everyone get their chance to spin?”

“Shizuki’s having fun!”

“Hah… sorry if you don’t like it…”

“Yuuga’s is kind of scary.”

“I’m sure yours is scarier than mine.”

We all hooted and hollered as we each took a turn opening the bag we had on hand.

But at Minai’s request, my big one was put last.

I may not have to open it any longer, emotionally.

“I got it from Shizuki… Wow! Amazing!”

The first thing that came out of Shizuki’s gift was a brown blanket.

It was soft to the touch and looked quite warm.

As expected of Shizuki, she has good taste.

I don’t know what was inside, but I want her to exchange it for my big one.

“Yay! I’ve always wanted one of these! I’ll use them at home!”

“Thank goodness… I had a feeling if it would be okay to give a blanket…”

“I’ll use it as if it was Shizuki-chan!”

“Ehh? …Y-yes.”

Oii.

That’s some dangerous line, that is.

“Then I’ll open the next one. A present of love from Yuga.”

“Don’t say it like that.”

“Open!”

Haruomi opened one of my bags.

I think it’s that.

“…Whoa, a phone stand.”　

“Wow. What’s more, it’s a little stylish!”

“It’s nice. It looks like it could be useful in a variety of ways.”

“It’s all about practicality. You can charge the battery while it’s on a stand, and you can change the angle.”

“Well, it looks like something Yuuga would give. But I’m into watching movies in the bathtub these days. I’m actually quite grateful for it.”

Haruomi seemed unexpectedly satisfied.

I had thought it would be safe, but when he was pleased like this, I did not feel bad.

“Shizuki, open one for me!”

“T-then, I’ll open Minai-san’s…”

With a rustle, Shizuki opened the bag.

The one that went to Shizuki was a decent-sized palm-sized present from Minai.

“Uh, Uhmm… what’s this?”

Out of a small box came a square doll with a picture of a penguin on it.

It had a haughty face and a switch on its back.

“What is this…?”

“Fridge penguins! You put it in the fridge and it talks when you open it!”

“What the hell is that?”

“Oh, I get it! It’s a reminder to close it!

“Corrreeccctt~ I thought it would be useful for Shizuki and Yuuga, who live alone!”

“Hey, are you ignoring me?”

“Senba-kun, you look like this penguin, don’t you?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“I don’t look like it!”

“Oh, but really, they do look a little like each other. fufu~.”

“You too Shizuki-san…”

Haruomi was unusually disappointed.

But they are rather similar, really.

“Now you open yours, Yuuga-chi!”

“…Okay.”

When I opened Haruomi’s bag, I found a long, thin box.

This is…

“A cup?”

“Wow! That’s a good one!”

“Hahahah. Well, of course. Since I chose it.”

“It’s nice! You can use it in winter or summer.”

“Mistakes also bring happiness huh…”

I usually keep a drink on my desk while studying at home, so this would come in handy.

The design was also good, and this would have been no problem even if it hit Shizuki or Minai.

After that, the gift opening entered its second round.

Shizuki opened the chocolate set from Haruomi, Minai opened my charger, Haruomi opened Shizuki’s mechanical pencil, and finally it was my turn.

“It’s big no matter how many times I look at it…”

“Hurry up and open it!”

Fearfully, I peel off the bag and remove the contents.

But …this is no… way.

“….It’s adorable.”

“Well, it’s perfect for Yuga.”

“…How?”

What came out was a stuffed bear that was too big.

The white fur was soft and rather luxurious.

“I went for the biggest one in my budget!”

“Seriously, it’s huge…”

“Yuuga, think of him as me and sleep with him every night!”

“…Who would do such a thing?”

I mean, there’s another problem with that line…
