Looking over the selection, he points to the second one:
- I'll take this one. It looks cool; I'll get a dog like that someday.
Finally freeing his hand, he stood before the sacred statue, allowing himself a few moments of contemplation and immersion in the divine mystery.
However, realizing that unnecessary thoughts were creeping into his mind, he finally decided to do what he came for - folding his hands and absorbing the image into his retina, he said:
- O great Goddess, embodiment of fortune and good luck, I humbly beseech your favor! I ask you to protect me from danger and, as much as possible, to help me succeed in the trials that await me. And I... I will not be afraid of difficulties. And later, when I succeed and get some money, I will definitely play in the casino again. You know, I usually don't ask for anything like that, but I just wanted to live up to my boss's expectations, and so that later, after many, many years, I can look my brothers and father in the eye with pride. That's it... - scratching his head, he looks at Fira. - Did I mess anything up? Or should I have said it to myself?
