Billiken-san has arrived!

That day, I was doing a bit of cleaning.

I was in a good mood.

This is because the results of the cleaning I've been doing lately have started to become visible.

It's nothing special.

Just regular use of a Quickle Wiper and some light dusting.

Even a lazy person like me can do this every day.

One night, while I was thinking that, I took the initiative to do some cleaning.

Suddenly, a large pair of buttocks and feet appeared in my room. (And they were golden, too.)

I wondered if I was seeing things because I had cleaned too much, but the presence suddenly said just one thing.

"It's a gold mine!!"

he said, and then vanished.

A gold mine? What? I couldn't imagine what he meant, so I went on with my life for a while.

Then, after seeing that mysterious being, I won a meal voucher in a radio giveaway and received unexpected income from a completely unforeseen source.

　What on earth was that crunching sound?
I didn't know, so I just left it at
“Maybe it’s something like Hotei-san.”
However, that day, I happened to go into a large supermarket and
casually bought a Billiken-san lottery ticket holder
　that was half-price in a wagon sale, thinking I might give it to a friend who lives far away.
When I got home and saw the Billiken-san
drawn on the bag, I was astonished.

That Billiken-san was gold, and its bottom and feet were exactly the same roundness as the ones I had seen.

After thinking for a while, I decided to open the seal on this Billiken-san bag and keep it carefully in my home.

It is strange, but that was the only time I ever saw those buttocks and feet.

It was a very precious experience.
