Kuroko: “That’s quite an extravagant way to enjoy a popsicle.”

[outside a convenience store]
Murasakibara: Hm? Oh, it’s Kurochin.
Kuroko: Murasakibara-kun! It’s good to see you.
Murasakibara: Huh? Wait, you’re eating a popsicle? Aren’t you cold?
Kuroko: They had winter limited-edition milk popsicles, and I couldn’t resist.
Murasakibara: Oh! Yeah, you’ve gotta try the limited-edition flavors at least once. And there are always a lot of good ones in winter, for some reason. How is it?
Kuroko: It’s delicious, actually.
Murasakibara: Oh, I’m out of snacks! I’m gonna go buy some real quick.
Kuroko: Oh!
Murasakibara: Hm? What’s up, Kurochin?
Kuroko: I won a free popsicle.
Murasakibara: No kidding!
Kuroko: Murasakibara-kun, you can have this, if you like.
Murasakibara: Huh? Really?
Kuroko: Yes.

Murasakibara: [eating the free popsicle] Hm? Mmm! Yeah, this is pretty tasty!
Kuroko: The milk flavor really comes through, doesn’t it? Anyway, I’m glad you’re here, Murasakibara-kun. I’m sure I would have been cold after eating two popsicles.
Murasakibara: I guess so. But if I eat popsicles while I’m sitting under the kotatsu, all nice and toasty, I can eat a whole box.
Kuroko: That’s quite an extravagant way to enjoy a popsicle.
Murasakibara: That reminds me—didn’t you get a winning popsicle stick once back in middle school, Kurochin?
Kuroko: Oh, that’s right. I gave the winning stick to Momoi-san.
Murasakibara: I’m kinda jealous. Seems like you’ve got pretty good luck when it comes to stuff like that.
Kuroko: Do you think so? I’d rather not use all my luck on something like that.
Murasakibara: Huh? Why not? It’s super lucky to get another snack for free, right? I mean, I eat snacks all the time, but I never win anything.
Kuroko: I don’t think many of the snacks they sell at convenience stores come with the chance to win anything, anyway… Don’t they sometimes have snacks where a few of the bags have a special piece mixed in?
Murasakibara: Oh yeah. Like one with eyebrows or something.
Kuroko: Right. Oh, speaking of which, wasn’t there a time in middle school when Midorima-kun chased you all over the place for one of those special snacks?
Murasakibara: Huh? Urgh, I forgot about that! Midochin was really annoying that time.
Kuroko: As I recall…he thought his lucky item might be in the bag of animal crackers you were eating.
Murasakibara: Yep, that’s right. He said, “I want the rabbit wearing glasses,” and every time I went to eat a cracker, he’d snatch it from me to check it first, then give it back—and he just kept doing it, over and over… Thanks to that, I didn’t even get to enjoy my snack.
Kuroko: He must have been desperate to find his lucky item. Did there turn out to be one in your bag?
Murasakibara: Yeah, there was one. But of course it had to be the very last one, which meant I had to look at Midochin’s scowling face almost the whole time I was eating.
Kuroko: That…was rather unlucky.
Murasakibara: Uh-huh. [finishes his popsicle] That was a good popsicle. Hmm…looks like I didn’t win.
