After Losing My Girlfriend, Mother, And Sister To Someone Else, I won 1.5 Billion Yen In The lottery. Now, I’m hiring A Coworker To Help Me Get My Revenge - Episode 4

Check the number one more time, one more time.

“Yeah… this… that’s right, isn’t it?”

Huh, did I win?

Lottery? 1.5 billion?

Really? Is this a prank?

No way this is also Makabe’s doing… right?

1.5 billion.

1.5 billion!?

How many times can you live your life just playing around?

It’s cliché, but for now, I’ll just pinch my cheek.

Of course it hurts.

It’s not a dream.

“Hey, Fujii”

I heard a voice from behind and turned around in surprise.

Before I knew it, Murano had opened the door to my room.

“Huh, what?”

“Makabe was like, at least suck it for him or something.”

“Huh? Suck on it? Are we having shabu-shabu? Nice, I think I’m more of a yuzu ponzu person.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

What am I even saying, really?

“Grinning and feeling gross.”

Oh, I was smiling.

“Did you go crazy from the shock? Whatever, I’m going back downstairs.”

Murano is leaving.

Oh no, my heart is racing.

Wait, let’s calm down for a moment.

Can minors even receive money in the first place?

If a guardian is required, that’s the worst.

If it gets out that someone like him got elected, it will definitely lead to no good.

I’ll try searching on my smartphone.

“Guardians… does it depend on where you pick it up? Just like when you bought it.”

It will take about a week to actually receive it.

In other words, in a week, I’ll be a billionaire.

What should I do? My body is trembling.

My heart is pounding so hard it feels like I might die.

What should I do during this week?

Let’s leave the house.

Let’s hide at Grandpa’s house. Of course, I’ll pay.

If I get 1.5 billion, I can be filial as much as I want.

Next, school… let’s take a break for a while.

The part-time job… I can’t just quit suddenly, but let’s quit.

“Oh, right.”

I glance at the clock.

I should probably head to my part-time job soon.

At my part-time job at the convenience store, I first informed the manager that I was quitting.

They said to work for another two weeks, so I agree to that.

The problem is…

“Hey, Hanasaki-san”

I casually approach Ms. Hanazaki, who looks bored at the register.

“What?”

“Do you have time after this?”

“Huh, why?”

“I have something important to talk about. Really important. It’s about our future, Hanazaki-san and me.”

“Wait, wait, wait. Well, yes, we do talk a lot during our part-time job, but that doesn’t mean we’re really close or anything. We don’t really know much about each other…”

Hanazaki-san’s cheeks are turning red.

Maybe it’s just a sudden cold or something.

“Sure, Fujii-kun is going through a tough time right now, but I don’t have the confidence to be a source of emotional support for him.”

“What have you been saying since a while ago?”

“Eh, but, so, does that mean you want to be my boyfriend?”

“Hanazaki-san”

What is it?

“Just a little bit of comfort isn’t enough to make me fall in love; I’m not that easy to sway.”

“Huh?”

After finishing my part-time job, I sat on a bench in the nearby park and talked to Ms. Hanazaki.

Winning the first prize in the lottery.

“Seriously!?”

“I’m serious.”

“Wait, huh? No, huh? 1.5 billion? You’re joking… right? W-why are you telling me this? Isn’t it better not to talk about these things with anyone? Rumors spread and money-hungry people gather.”

“I want to give half to Ms. Hanazaki.”

“…Why?”

“Because I bought it on Hanazaki-san’s recommendation.”

With a blank expression, Ms. Hanazaki’s eyes go wide.

I shouldn’t have said anything strange.

“No, no, you can’t just take half for that reason. It’s 750 million, you know? 750 million!!”

It seems like Hanazaki-san is having a hard time too, so that’s about it.

“You’re being too self-destructive.”

But it feels wrong to not give her anything in return like this.

That day, in that park, Hanazaki-san saved me.

It might just be a tiny bit of relaxation. It might just be a little distraction. But…

Hanazaki-san also seemed to understand my intentions, crossing her arms and deep in thought.

“Well then, how about this? Use a portion of that 1.5 billion to buy me.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll take a break from my part-time job to hang out with you, so that’s my payment. And Fujii-kun, this is an opportunity.”

“What for?”

“Revenge on those who tormented Fujii-kun. With the 1.5 billion we have, I’m sure we can do it.”

Revenge.

I completely forgot.

Should I do it? I can stand on my own now.

You can forget about those guys and live in peace.

Is that really okay?

They trampled on it. My heart, my time, my effort.

I even disrespected my deceased father.

At least I’ll get my revenge.

No way, I’ll shoot my second and third arrows and corner them thoroughly.

However, before that, I have one question.

“Why do you want to help with the revenge?”
