Majority of the people living in the Sanctuary were gathered inside the building, all excited.

『The First Sanctuary Bowling Tournament』

The completed bowling alley was accepted by the residents, and the first ever bowling boom made its way into the Sanctuary.

The bowling alley was crowded with Sanctuary residents every single day, and some people said they want to open concession stands to sell light meals and drinks, so now the bowling alley was expanded to have a resting corner.

Gogogoooo! Bakkyaaaaaan!

「Kuh, a split…」
「Fufufu, Gnome, it’s not just about throwing it with all of your might, you know?」
「Yes, control is important.」

Gogogoooo! Bakyaaaaan!!

「Kyaaaa! Strike!」
「Kuh, am I losing to the lass?!」

Gnome was vexed that he was being given advice by Undine and Sylph.

In my field of view, the Great Spirits were enjoying bowling. They might be a little too passionate about it though, they should receive a reward for a perfect attendance since the bowling alley’s opening.
The residents had jobs, but the Great Spirits basically live doing whatever they like. They sure have a lot of time.

And, of course, Akane frequented it with Lulu-chan, and I made the potions Laeva was supposed to deliver to the Papeck Company.
Well, this was originally my job though. Laeva also looked like she’s having fun..

To my surprise, even Sophia and Marnie were practicing diligently too. When I tried asking them about it, they replied with something unexpected.

「Sophia, Marnie, you guys have really taken to bowling? I’m glad you’re enjoying it though.」
「We definitely enjoy it, but this is practice for the bowling tournament.」
「Bowling tournament?」
「Yes. Akane-san said a bowling tournament is going to be held.」
「Akane did? Well, if everyone’s looking forward to the event, that’s good.」

Hearing about the bowling tournament, I remembered the company recreational events during my time as a salaryman. So, even though Sophia and Marnie were working hard, my head tilted.

「Umm, this is some earnest practice.」
「Yes. The winner will get an extra prize for Takumi, after all.」
「……extra prize?」
「Yes. Akane-san said that you would grant any wish they desired.」
「………h- hmmm. D-do your best.」
「「Yes!」」

I don’t know what these two want, but first, I have to go talk to Akane, who arbitrarily decided that I have to give an extra prize.

 

I looked for Akane in the bowling alley but couldn’t find her, so I returned to the mansion and there I found Akane all cozied up on the living room sofa.

「Akane, I heard there’ll be a bowling tournament.」
「Ahh, Takumi, that’s how it is so, counting on ya!」
「Yeaー wait, that’s not it, I heard that I will be granting any wish as an extra prize for the champion.」
「That’s right. Don’t you think it’s even better to have more than just prize money and a trophy? So if you were to grant any one wish, everyone’s level of excitement would be much different, right?」
「Haa~ I would have liked a heads up.」

It couldn’t be helped since it looks like the Sanctuary residents already knew about it, but I would like to not be made to give out extra prizes without being notified beforehand.

「Takumi, you’d be happier if everyone was happy, right?」
「Fine. It’s not like anyone would make an excessive request, and it makes the bowling tournament more exciting.」
「Heck yeah, Takumi. You know what I’m talking about.」

Then I tried asking about I just thought of.

「Not feeling well?」

As she was talking to me, Akane was sprawled on the sofa, all exhausted.

「Fufufu, it’s not that. I’m also aiming to be the champion. Fufu, what should I get you to do, I wonder……」
「…………I’ll also go practice.」

For some reason, Akane’s chuckle sent a chill down my back.
I don’t know why, but I have a feeling Akane shouldn’t become the champion.

With that hunch that I could most certainly believe in, I ran to the bowling alley.

I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that I had to prevent only Akane from becoming the champion.

And rushing to the bowling alley, I practiced immediately…… not.

Yep, I had to wait for two hours.
