The next day...

Lori returned to the spot with the gacha machine, dragging Leni with her. "So what do you, like, need me to do again?" Leni asked, justifiably confused.

"Okay, here's the explanation for the third, and hopefully last, time," Lori replied, releasing the girl and pointing at the gacha machine. "I gave some money to this stupid gacha machine, and it had the audacity of not giving me something I wanted! Now I want you to try it and see if it gives you what you want."

"But Lori, what makes you think I'm going to have any better luck than you?" Leni pointed out as Lori handed her a dime.

"Nothing, I'm just too scared of wasting more money on this stupid thing," the teenager replied, giving the gacha a furious glare before she turned back to her sister. "Besides, if you do get what you want, it's a win for you!"

After thinking about it for... About 2 seconds, Leni shrugged and said "I guess I could give it a shot," as she put the dime on the machine. Then, as the duo waited, Leni looked around the machine and found something on the back.

"Look, Lori!" Leni exclaimed, catching her sister's attention.

And once Lori went to check up on whatever Leni was seeing, she was surprised, to say the least.

"It's a list of what we can get from this machine!" Leni exclaimed with a lot of excitement. "Lincoln, Luna, Clyde, those other people who, like, don't seem to be important but are still easy to tell apart!"

"Is this part of some game or something?" Lori thought as she gave a look at the list. "Why would they make a game based on Royal Woods of all cities? And most importantly, why make it a gacha game?"

Then the machine released a card and Leni and Lori went to check it up.

The card was Carol Pingrey.

"Oh hey, isn't this that girl from your class who you absolutely can't stand?" Leni pondered as Lori gave the card a murderous look. "This is, like, not what I was really looking for, but I'll keep it!"

And with that said, Leni saved the card and walked back home while Lori took out her Clyde card and then glanced at the gacha machine. She then decided to leave it for today and go back home as well.
