-AUTHOR POV-
As we left off, Josie had an ideas a way for Shigechi to gain some money and have some for herself, alongside with Okuyasa and (YN). So, she told Shigechi that it'll be more awesome if she had Shigechi's Harvests to look around town and collect all the lottery tickets. Shigechi agreed, so he then use Harvests to spread around and collect all the lottery tickets drop from the floor and not used.
-MOMENTS LATER-
Later on that day, Harvests was down scooping around the town as they collect a bunch of lottery tickets, making Josie and them shocked in surprise! So, Josie and the others head over to the store to exchange some winning tickets as for (YN), Okuyasa and Shigechi waited for her...
Shigechi: O-Okuyasa, (YN), do you think Josie will be able to exchange some tickets and get money that easily??
(YN): Yeah, don't worry little dude. Some of them she exchange can be a possible chance to win some goodies.
Okuyasa: Yeah! So just relax Shigechi, we trust Josie.
And so they waited for her for a while, until she came out...and didn't seem happy...
(YN): Josie...what happen?!
Okuyasa: Did they told you to pass off??
Josie: ...I wasn't able to get cash back at the CD shop nor the toy store. But I can exchange coupons for about 40,000 yen worth of CDs or video games.
Okuyasa: I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about Kameyu! We're you able to get cash back from Kameyu store!?!
(YN): Chill it Okuyasa. Listen Josie, if it didn't work. It's fine, we just need-
Josie: Yeah, actually something unexpected happen in there.
(YN): It did??
Shigechi: *gulps*
Everything was quite...until...
Josie: It unexpectedly turned into 81,500 yen baby!!!!!
They were surprised to see that kind of money from Josie's arm and knowing it'll work to exchange to get this kind of cash...
Josie: Here ya go Shigechi!
Shigechi: O-Oh boy!! This is amazing! Shi-Shi-Shi!!!
Okuyasa: I can see it with my own eyes!!! It's like a dream but actually came out true!!!
(YN): Now that's what I'm talking about!
Josie: Shigechi, your stand is so awesome!
Shigechi: R-Really?? You think me and Harvests are awesome...P-People don't really compliment me much like that....
(YN): Yeah, have some confidence.
Josie: This is something that only you can do!
Shigechi: O-Okuyasa...Josie...(YN)...
Shigechi was so happy to have compliments from them, knowing that he has never had someone like them being so nice and kind to him...suddenly, he sees a young teenage girl...
Shigechi: *Starighten* Hey you girl! I got a load of fat stacks here! Wanna have some fun-
Josie/Okuyasa/(YN): OI OI OI OI OI OI!!!
-LATER ON-
Later, Shigechi was happy to have that kind of money on his hands...but he still had to give some to Josie, Okuyasa and (YN) for helping him out...
Shigechi: Oh yeah, I forgot. Here, Josie, Okuyasa, (YN). Your share, 15,000 yen.
He hands over two bills for them to have, but it seems so little for them to share...and Shigechi seem to walk away...
(YN): ...this ain't right.
Josie: H-Hey Shigechi! What's this?
Shigechi: Oh. We're friends right? So we've got friendship together.
(YN): Yea, we are.
Suddenly, Shigechi gives off a smirk on his face and says...
Shigechi: Then that's your token for our friendship, Shi-Shi-Shi-Shi.
Okuyasa: What!?!?
(YN): ...Your joking right?
Josie: Hey now, this isn't the promise we made before. You said we were gonna share it half. So if we collect 81,500 yen, then that means we should all have 20,750 yen each.
Shigechi: Really? ...did I say that before?
Josie: Wh-What?!?
Shigechi: Not to mention...it was my Harvests job to collect all those lottery tickets, I did all that. You three only talk and did nothing-
Josie: And of Josie didn't came up with the idea and shared it with you, you never have thought of gathering all of them up!!!
Shigechi: I would have eventually thought of it!
Okuyasa: You lying piece of-
Josie: H-Hey now! Cool it Okuyasa! Here, come here for a sec. you too (YN).
The three huddle up...
Josie: This is just great. Apparently he was fine with a few thousand, but once it went over ten thousand, he's now much more hesitant to pay up.
(YN): I don't think he means anything bad by it, besides, he's still a kid, and kid like him doesn't learn the meaning of sharing. So we have to talk through him carefully about it. We should be the adults and let it be.
Okuyasa: Hmph. I guess we can try, but the fact he pissed me off of how he was acting! Are you sure we can take that advantage??
Josie: No Okuyasa, there's no poker fighting right now.
(YN): But we do need to teach him how adults actually make agreements and not be so hesitant.
Josie: Very well....Hey Shigechi?
Shigechi: Hm??
Josie: Thanks for the 15,000 yen. We appreciate buddy.
Shigechi: O-Okay! Well, that's what friends do after all!!
And so, the four states walking as they head over to the park and sat down, Josie started throwing the other lottery tickets away that aren't needed anymore...
Okuyasa: H-Hey Josie! Why the hell your throwing them away?!?
Josie: They're just worthless junk tickets girl, like and end year tickets.
(YN): Besides, their no use anyways.
Okuyasa: But I told Shigechi to pick them up along everything else earlier!
Josie: Hehe, you mean the New Years losing tickets?
Okuyasa: How do you know it's a losing ticket?!
(YN): Good grief, no one would throw away winning tickets, dumbass.
Okuyasa: Still! There are lots of people who forget to confirm the numbers and never get the prizes. If this wins, I'm gonna take half of it. Can you promise that, Shigechi?!
Shigechi: Sure! Half of it seems fine.
(YN): Suit yourself then. We'll just relax here at the bench.
And so, Shigechi, Josie and (YN) sat down at the bench while Okuyasa starts digging for numbers for winning tickets to win more money. And so, Josie was sitting next to (YN), blushing A little....so she kinda scoots a bit closer to him, as (YN) realizes it, making Josie more blushing....but (YN) smiled, making Josie to blush even more...as she said...
Josie: (YN)...I-is it okay if I...Rest my head onto your shoulder? I'm kinda tired...
(YN): Oh. Sure. No problem.
And so, Josie slowly tilts her head towards (YN)'s shoulder, until (YN) suddenly wraps his arm around her and blushes been more hard...and felt more...relaxed for some reason...so she relax on (YN)'s shoulder...and started thinking about back then about (YN)'s thoughts on her...
Josie Mind: *I wonder what he actually thinks of me...hopefully its not that bad...but still...I'm curious. I never had a boy like him who have some thoughts about me. And...whenever I'm with him, just like now, I feel like he's the only boy other than Koichi to make me feel happy...d-does this me that I may-
Okuyasa: OOOIIIIIIIII!!!
Okuyasa suddenly appeared behind them, scarring them as Josie falls down to the ground...
Shigechi: Wh-Wha-?!?
(YN): What the!?! Okuyasa!
Josie: You dumb bitch!!! You ruined my mo-I-I mean...what the hell did you scream for!?!! *Damn you Okuyasa!*
Okuyasa: The numbers!! I found the winning numbers!!! SG 121313!!! And guess what's the prize..8 million yen!!!! We won! We won!!! We hit the damn jackpot!!!
(YN): F-Five million yen!?! No way!
Josie: H-Hey now! You better not joke around!
Okuyasa showed them the wining number and the prize...and it was true. The winning number was the same exact number as the lottery ticket, and the prize for it is 8 million yen.
Josie/OkuyasaYooooooooo!!!! It's a dream come true!! A fantasy!!!
Josie: Wait wait wait wait! Wait Okuyasa! Let's confirm it one more time.
So they check on the winning ticket again, to confirm if it's true they won 8 million yen...and so, yeah. It's true...
Josie: It's 100% guarantee! There's no doubt about it! It's good to be true! What idiot can throw a lottery ticket away like that?! And look, it expires in a few days! We can go to the bank and exchange it and tell them we proudly bought it!
Okuyasa: Hell yeah!
Josie: Which means that we have won 8 million yen!
Okuyasa: Hell yeah!!! Hahahaahaa!!!!
Josie: Let's see, first I gotta get some cool new Italian shoes! Then buy a high end suit with a sexy silhouette, and go all out at Tonio's shop and eat the most expensive food they have! I also want to go overseas somewhere! And this time, I'll put it on my savings!
Okuyasa: Same!! Talk about boring life!!
(YN): *sighs* oh you two...
Josie: Oh come on (YN)! This is 8 million yen's we're talking about! Wouldn't you mind buying cool stuffs for your own?! Think about it!!
(YN): ...Well, I guess buying a lot of video games and a brand new system won't hurt. And maybe help my auntie out with some bills and the rent.
Okuyasa: Hell yeah!!! We're rich baby!!!
Josie, Okuyasa, and (YN) of course started to celebrate the fact they have won 8 million yen's for themselves thanks to Shigechi's Harvests...but Shigechi didn't seem too happy that they won that kind of money...
Shigechi Mind: M-My Harvests is the one that picked up that winning ticket...8 million yen...there's no way I'll let those bastards give up half of it!
