That girl was here since she was interested in this Go arrangement.
And she hadn't left. She was either just watching, or she tried and didn't make it.
Right now, he was going to try. If she was paying attention to the Go board, she would naturally see him.
These were the thoughts that passed through his mind as he stepped up to the lantern Go board.
"Another one wants to get rich!" heckled the people around them, but they still made way for him.
The man watching the lantern again rapped his wooden stick against the bowl.
"Money," he said.
That glass bowl was close to full. The lure of lighting up that lantern was obviously very enticing.
This was a result of other people throwing in money, but the man watching the lanterns became even more discourteous to the people giving money as the night wore on.
Simply hitting the bowl, not even bothering to say 'please'. He was also impatient, like handing out food with contempt.
Obviously it was good for them to receive money.
