Hype UP ７７７/Câu chuyện

## Singapore, trên đường Amoy

 **Dalia:**Even for the evening rush, it sure is crowded here.

 **Marika:**The food smells so good, though. It's no wonder the lines are so long!

 **Saori:**Hmm, what should I get...?

 **Rika:**You haven't decided yet?

 **Saori:**I think I've narrowed it down...

 **Rika:**Great! In that case...

 **Rika:**Let's play a game - loser pays! You in?

 **Saori:**Urgh... Why should I? Your luck's gonna come back any minute...

 **Rika:**Come on, don't be such a spoilsport.

 **Rika:**The element of chance is what makes it so fun!

 **Saori:**Okay, fine. Let's get this over with. Rock, paper, scissors...

 **Rika:**Go!

 **Saori:**Whoa...I won.

 **Dalia:**You're on a losing streak today, Rika.

 **Rika:**No way... How could this happen?!

 **Saori:**That's just the way it goes.

 **Rika:**Nooo...!

 **Rika:**H-Hey, it's not like we'll only buy one thing each, right? You're all pretty hungry, aren't you?!

 **Rika:**Okay, we'll try again at the next stall. Come on, double or nothing!

 **Rika:**Rock, paper, scissors...!

 **Rika:**Go!

 **Rika:**Go!

 **Saori:**Looks like I win again.

 **Marika:**Wow, this is strange. I've never seen you lose this much, Rika.

 **Dalia:**Yeah. I mean, it's all down to luck, after all. You'd think you'd win at least once eventually. The odds of losing every time are pretty low.

 **Saori:**Hear that? You're still beating the odds.

 **Rika:**Grrr... I can't let this stand. One more time!

 **Marika:**No way, I can't eat another bite...

 **Rika:**But what about dessert?

 **Dalia:**Well, that's different...

 **Saori:**Fine, fine. It's your funeral.

 **Rika:**Oh boy! Here we go.

 **Rika:**Wh-Why...?

 **Marika:**Luck this bad is pretty amazing, in a way.

 **Dalia:**It's always all or nothing with you.

 **Rika:**Nrgh...

 **Saori:**Rika, you should quit before things get any worse.

 **Saori:**At this rate, you'll hardly have any money left.

 **Rika:**No! I refuse! Saori, one more round!

 **Saori:**You already bought me dinner and dessert...

 **Rika:**All right, what about clothes, then?

 **Rika:**We're going to the mall tomorrow, right? If I win, you have to buy clothes for me!

 **Saori:**Hm... Nah. It's just not worth it at this point.

 **Rika:**Hey, you can't back out now!

 **Rika:**Please, I just... I really need a win. My luck's about to turn around, I know it!

 **Rika:**If I lose this time, I'll do anything you say!

 **Saori:**...Okay. But this is the last time.

 **Rika:**Yay♪ Thanks, Saori! I'm gonna get sooo many new outfits...♪

 **Marika:**Are you sure about this, Saori?

 **Dalia:**Yeah, this is Rika we're dealing with. She really might have a sudden surge of luck.

 **Saori:**She'd only get worse if I refused, though.

 **Saori:**Ready, Rika? Rock, paper, scissors...

 **Rika:**Go!

 **Saori:**...And I win again.

 **Rika:**No freakin' way!

 **Marika:**Lucky you. I want to say something like that, too.

 **Saori:**Yes way. As agreed, you have to do anything I say.

 **Saori:**And I say, no more bets for the rest of the trip! Got it?

 **Rika:**The rest of the trip? I'll never last that long! Marika, say something...!

 **Marika:**Sorry, Rikacchi. You're the one who made the deal. You can't go back on it now.

 **Rika:**Aw, man! Am I ever going to win anything again?!
