7 "Another Banquet"
"Party like it's your birthday! Drink all you can drink! Eat all you can eat!"
Alan screamed drunkenly in the luxurious banquet hall while his companions surrounded him like geisha.
Barry poured sake into Alan's cup as he held it
"Seiryo, go buy me a cigar, you can keep the change Ha ha ha"
He threw some coins at Seiryo who picked them up silently and left the banquet hall.
"Ha ha ha! Ha ~ ~ ~ Ha!"
-------------
"hmpf ... ...."
At the vending machine corner in the lobby, Seiryo pushed the button on the vending machine. He was given ten times what a cigar cost.
Doong. the cigar hit the bottom of the vending machine and Seiryo got it. He sighed then noticed the vending machine next to it.
"Change your destiny! Buy a lottery ticket!" the machine called out, Seiryo bought one with the change
-----------------------
"Ahahaha more please!" Alan opened up the suitcase given to him. Inside there wasn't even a single coin left.
"Ah!What happened ......"
"You were supposed to manage the money!"
"You're my adjutant, so accounting is your job!"
"When did you decide such a thing!"
"I have your cigar captain."
Seiryo came back and the three people quit fighting.
"Oh!!"Alan got a look in his eyes
--------------
"What? You want me to be the captain?"
"Yes! Seiryo-sama you're a much more suitable captains than us ..."
"...... I see ... ... well ok then!"
"First order of business, here's our bill!"
"Let's pay it with the money we received from Daruma"
"It's all gone!"
"......... Hmm I see... and this is quite a large amount."
Seiryo reached into his pockets and took out the lottery ticket. "This is all i have"
The ticket announced itself as being a winner.
"You don't have to pay it back! Those winnings are yours to keep! I'll add it to these three idiots debts and they can pay it off once there shipped back to Jurai!" Komachi said
----------------------------
"Is this a bad time? Were you on vacation?" Komachi used a hot line to talk with Seto
"Oh, don't worry about that. I'm here now"
While she was on vacation,that was mirror seto not her, but right now Seto was wearing the same swimsuit as the mirror.
"...... I'm afraid it's as we expected ... The mass production plan of the lucky fleet wasn't shelved ...... and Seiryo somehow ended up as captain."
"Even so, if Seiryo is captain ... ... the situation might be slanted in my favor ...... "
"I finally think that unification of the galaxy isn't a bad thing after all, but I never expected it to happen so soon."
"I feel the same as well. But it is difficult to slow down the process, all I can do it make sure to adapt quickly."
"Ha ha! If you think about it, With our luck it may be meaningful that I've chosen as such."
Komachi told Seto about the luck measuring instruments they recently receive.
"Our research department examined it, They don't understand how it works. what they concluded was that such a thing could only have been made at the academy are you up to something? "
"Really? can you give me one? I know I'd love to have something like that. "
Komachi also told Seto about the daruma guild making an improved version of the Daedalus.
"An Improved version of the Daedalus ... That is certainly scary to hear."
"...You should do everything you can to protect that boy."
"Yes, I know. Thank you for caring. and as for you, do not forget to protect Seiryo, please. "
"Don't worry even if someone killed him, that idiot wouldn't die." Komachi said.

"Uhuhuhuhuhu"
Washu 's joyful laughter echoed in the dark room and mixed with the operating sound of the machines around her.
The room seemed to be quite a huge space, but since there was only one light source to the side of Washu, it was impossible to tell what it looked like on the inside.
However, the light spot showing the operation of the machine, shining like a star in some places, indicated the extent of the space.
Washu carefully inspected Dharma Doll shaped instruments which had parts that looked like stopwatches coming out of them, she carefully inspected it and put it on a cushioning material then put it on a belt conveyor. ahead of her an old arm type machine was packing the instruments and instructions for use together in a box.
It was low tech like a small town factory.
With a whistle, the production line was stopped, and a monitor with Seto started up.
"Oh my how sad Seto, even on vacation you're not on vacation."
"............ Oh there is just something I wanted to see about that couldn't wait."
Seto's monitor wondered around the instruments in Washu 's hands and looked at the cardboard pile.
Washu had long had a hobby of making dubious goods and imitations for retail.
"So, Seto did you come to celebrate?"
"Washu, How can you do this knowing it will make your cute little daughter struggle."
"It's just a good handicap, It's still a one sided fight, besides, the more elements that cause a probability change we get together now the less can be brought together in the future, I think this will let us eliminate as many of them as possible "
As time passes, some objects accumulate a probability bias, but it takes time. Hundreds or even thousands of years.
"Certainly, we want to destroy those items together with the ships... but ... there's a problem.The new ships captain is Seiryo Tennan."
"Well, Tennan's a coward so that's not surprising... you know the Naja I knew in the past would have used this situation to organize a staged battle and laughed while taking bets.
---foreshadowing----
"You can say it's because you want to gather and destroy all the lucky items all you want Washu-chan, but if anything happens to Seina, then Tenchi and the Earth's Masaki clan won't forgive you"
"Ah ............ That's a bit ... ... no.... actually... that's fine."
"It is? "
If something happened to Seina because of Washu, she'd also have the Juraian Emperor, Funaho, Misaki, Mirror seto , Seto, Ringo, Minaho, Airi and all the others after her.
"I'm used to people making philosophers out to be the bad guy, Recently I have come to understand what professor Ikuma always used to go on about ... ... "
"Stop! don't bring him up .... I feel old enough as it is already.
Hopefully for Seina, now that we know there are girls with probability correction abilities, things will even out."
