The laughter and chaos of the first raffle left an air of anticipation in Buenaventura. The villagers, still giggling from the shower of tennis balls and the parade of ducks, began to talk about what was to come next. Meanwhile, Rufus and Luna, determined to move on from their last fiasco, gathered in the woods with other werewolves to discuss their next event: the Bone Throwing Competition.
"It can't go wrong this time!" Rufus proclaimed, drawing in the dirt with a branch. "Luck can't go wrong with a good bone throw. We just need the perfect bone!"
"But, Rufus, what if the bone turns into a flying duck again?" Luna asked, a mix of worry and excitement in her voice.
"That would be great, but no, no, this time I promise we'll use real bones, not stuffed ones," Rufus insisted, as the other werewolves nodded, though some were clearly dubious.
Kazuma, who had been listening from a safe distance, couldn't help but chime in. "Real bones? What's next, a garlic head tossing contest? This is getting absurd already," he commented, stretching his body as if preparing for an act of resistance.
"Don't underestimate the importance of tradition, friend!" said a wolf named Fenrir, who seemed to have an inexplicable passion for bone tossing. "This is an event that brings good fortune... or so I heard at a werewolf meeting," he added, blinking seriously.
"You mean that meeting where it was decided that werewolves should wear top hats instead of bone necklaces?" Aqua replied, crossing her arms in a dismissive gesture. "Because I don't think that worked out very well."
"Silence, please! We're here to plan the competition!" shouted Rufus, trying to regain everyone's attention. "We need a jury, and of course, prizes. Fancy prizes, like lucky charms!"
"And what are we going to do with those charms? Give them out to the losers as a reminder of their failure?" Kazuma asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Exactly!" said Rufus, excited. "That way everyone will have something to remember, and maybe it will bring them more luck in the future."
The competition was announced throughout the village, and the intrigued villagers crowded the square on the day of the event. Rufus, wearing his top hat, positioned himself as the master of ceremonies, while Luna, wearing a colorful headband, tried to keep order.
"Welcome to the Buenaventura Bone Throwing Competition!" shouted Rufus, barely containing his excitement. "The contestants will have to throw these bones across the square. Whoever manages to go the furthest will win a fabulous lucky charm!"
As the contestants lined up, Kazuma couldn't help but feel that this was going to be a monumental disaster. "If anything can go wrong, it will," he muttered, watching a nervous villager holding a massive beef bone.
The first round began, and upon tossing the bone, the villager earned a deafening round of applause... but in his excitement, the bone bounced off the ground and landed straight on the head of the poor old man who had won the amulet in the previous raffle. "Not again!" the old man shouted, as screams of laughter filled the air.
Luna, trying to be helpful, decided to participate. She got into position, raising her bone with all the strength she could muster. But instead of tossing it, she tripped and rolled forward, sending the bone flying in a random direction. The bone landed on a popcorn cart, unleashing a shower of flying corn that covered everyone in attendance.
"This is crazy!" Kazuma exclaimed, laughing loudly. "I never thought luck could be so... explosive."
Meanwhile, Aqua joined the competition, but instead of throwing a bone, she decided to cast a spell that, in theory, should improve everyone's luck. "Hang in there, this is going to be spectacular!" she shouted, raising her wand. But, in a comical twist, the spell backfired and ended up turning the bone into a chicken that flew away.
The event turned into absolute chaos, with chickens flying, corn flying, and villagers laughing uproariously at the madness that "good luck" had unleashed. As the sun set over Buenaventura, they realized that, although luck hadn't smiled on them the way they expected, the real gift was shared laughter.
And so, between failed throws, absurd charms, and comical chaos, Buenaventura discovered that sometimes, the best luck of all is found in laughter and the company of friends, even if those friends are somewhat disastrous werewolves. The comedy of luck continued, and everyone in town was eager to see what crazy thing Rufus and Luna would come up with next.
