豊橋のまちなか図書館（2F）から下を見ると、子どもたちがバトルしてました⚔️ なぜ？

まちなかクエストというイベントでした。 息子は500円のクエストに挑戦。ゲーム4回と妖精を探すクエストでした。こんな世界体験ゲームは、面白いですね。大学だと、学生が自然にクエストを見つけられる仕組みがあるといいね。

Looking down from the second floor of Toyohashi’s downtown library, I saw children engaged in battles⚔️. Why?

It was an event called ‘Machinaka Quest.’ My son took on the 500-yen quest challenge, which included four games and a fairy-finding mission. These immersive gaming experiences are fascinating. It would be wonderful if universities could create systems where students naturally discover their own quests.

🛍️♨️ ピケティのr>g理論を信じ、優待株も持っています。11月末期限の株主優待券が残っていました。そこで桐谷さんみたいなことをやりました。

使えたのは極楽湯、ビックカメラ、コジマの券だけでした。胃袋が限られ、店舗も遠く、飲食店の券利用は無理でした。物に振り回される1日も、経験にはなり、案外面白かったのです。

Believing in Piketty’s r>g theory†, I hold stocks offering shareholder benefits. As November ended, I found myself with expiring benefit coupons. Inspired by Mr. Kiritani‡, I set out to use them.

I managed to use coupons only at Gokurakuyu*, Bic Camera, and Kojima. Restaurant vouchers went unused due to my limited appetite and distant locations. Though rushing around to use these coupons seemed hectic, it turned out to be unexpectedly interesting.
