・薬屋のひとりごと 6 (56% → 65%)

Here’s an expression: (かぜ)()(まわ)し. It means “stroke of luck”, “curious turn of events”. Just the ()(まわ)し means “the direction of the wind” or “circumstances”.

To me, it superficially looks like it could mean something like “the wind is blowing around”, but it seems like the phrase is often used to express disbelief as a reaction to someone being lucky. It’s fun how phrases can have a different meaning from what they literally would mean.
