As Orion strolled towards the school, sandwiched between Luna and Aurora, he felt a palpable shift in the air. It was as if the world itself had aligned to mirror his own mood – a sense of joy and vitality radiating outward from him. The siblings walked hand-in-hand, a contented silence enveloping them.

The first lucky encounter was a humble vendor at a breakfast stand nearby. As Orion and his sisters approached, the vendor scratched at a lottery ticket with a worn-out coin, his forehead creased with hopeful anticipation. Suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief as he discovered he had won the jackpot. He stared at the ticket, then at Orion and his sisters, and then back at the ticket. A broad smile broke across his face as he shouted joyfully, "I won! I've won!"

Nearby, a mother was walking her daughter to school, their conversation laced with tension. The girl, no older than ten, was nervously clutching an application for a dance academy. As they passed Orion and his sisters, the mother's phone rang. Listening to the conversation, the girl's eyes grew wide. The mother ended the call, tears welling in her eyes as she relayed the news – her daughter had been accepted into the dance academy. The girl squealed with delight, her dreams suddenly a reality.

Further along the street, a young man was nervously preparing to propose to his girlfriend. Spotting Orion and his sisters walking by, he took it as a sign, dropped to one knee, and presented the ring. His girlfriend gasped, covering her mouth in surprise, before throwing her arms around him in a tearful yes.

Even the birds seemed to bask in Orion's radiating luck. A sparrow, which had been trying for days to retrieve a shiny trinket lodged high in a tree, finally managed to dislodge the trinket. It fluttered down, landing right in the bird's nest, an accomplishment that filled the air with exuberant chirps.

As these lucky events unfolded around them, Luna and Aurora couldn't help but look at Orion with a mix of awe and a twinge of jealousy. They loved their brother dearly and were happy for his happiness, yet they couldn't shake off the feeling of apprehension. The reality of sharing their beloved brother was hitting them.

Their silent musings were disrupted as they reached the school gate. They were greeted by Hinata Hyuga, Winry Rockbell, and a group of their friends. Each greeted Orion warmly, their eyes sparkling with affection and admiration.

Amidst the greetings and laughter, Luna and Aurora exchanged a glance. Their brother was no longer just their own, but belonged to a circle of women who adored him just as much as they did. The prospect stung, but they also couldn't ignore the joy that his happiness brought to them and everyone around.

As Kakashi-Sensei's whistle cut through the air, signifying the start of PE, Orion's heart raced with anticipation. Football was one of his favorite sports, and he relished the chance to show off his skills.

With a team consisting of Hinata, Winry, Levy, Vivi, Ririchiyo, Saeko, Yuuki, Alice, Lucy, and Nezuko, Orion found himself at the helm. He was the designated striker, and he was determined to lead his team to victory.

The opposing team, captained by Tatsumaki and comprised of Yachiru, Orihime, Mikasa, Mizore, Morgiana, Akeno, Luna, and Aurora, wore an equally determined look on their faces. Luna and Aurora shared a glance, their sibling rivalry with Orion spurring them on.

The game started off with a flurry of activity. Orion's team had the first possession, and they quickly moved the ball across the field, with Orion taking the lead. A well-placed pass to Levy, and she shot the ball towards the goal. However, Tatsumaki, playing as the goalkeeper, dived to the right, successfully blocking the shot.

"Nice try, Orion," Tatsumaki taunted, grinning from ear to ear. Orion merely grinned back, undeterred.

It was not long before Orion's luck started to make itself known. A misdirected pass from Luna ended up at Orion's feet. With a swift movement, he maneuvered the ball around the approaching defenders, and with a powerful kick, the ball shot past Tatsumaki into the net.

"Goal!" Orion cheered, his team joining in the celebration. The opponents could only look on in disbelief. It seemed like the game was quickly turning in Orion's favor.

Despite this setback, Luna and Aurora's team rallied. They quickly counterattacked, and a long pass from Aurora to Mikasa resulted in a goal. The sisters shared a victorious glance.

As the game continued, the luck around Orion seemed to intensify. Levy, who had been struggling with her ball control, miraculously managed a precise pass to Orion, which he promptly converted into a goal. In another instance, Hinata, typically not known for her prowess in football, deflected a powerful shot from Akeno, saving her team from conceding a goal.

There was a palpable shift in the mood on the field. Despite the competitive nature of the game, the players couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and camaraderie. It was as if Orion's luck was subtly influencing everyone, creating an atmosphere of harmony and shared happiness.

Even Kakashi-sensei couldn't help but marvel at the unexpected turn of events. This game was proving to be a lot more interesting than he had anticipated.

As the final whistle blew, signaling the end of the PE class, both teams were panting and sweaty but happy. Orion's team had won, but it felt like everyone was a winner that day.

"Good game, everyone," Orion said, panting but grinning broadly.

With the exhilaration of the game still coursing through their veins, the students began to disperse towards the showers. Luna and Aurora moved to do what they always did - steer Orion away from his admirers and give him some space. But today, the girls had a different plan in mind.

Winry, Tatsumaki, and Vivi, having decided it was time to intervene, approached Luna and Aurora. "Hey, Luna, Aurora," Winry called out, a determined look on her face. "Kakashi-Sensei asked us to clean the gym before leaving."

"But..." Luna started to protest, but Tatsumaki cut her off.

"It's an order," she said firmly. "He's waiting for us in the gym."

Seeing no other choice, Luna and Aurora left, glancing back anxiously at their brother, who was oblivious to the scheme unfolding around him.
