Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 13

 

Before I knew it, the 10 Holy Coins that had been in the palm of my hand disappeared, and in their place, Elena was glowing faintly.

It wasn’t that strong, but it stood out quite a bit.

I wonder how it was that it didn’t get noticed back at the orphanage.

A few seconds later, the light gradually faded, and something started floating in my palm.

It was about 60 centimeters tall and 30 centimeters wide, so it was quite large.

What could it be? As I was thinking this, the light vanished, and I could clearly see what it was.

What is this…?

A red board?

While I was thinking this, Elena casually picked it up while it was still floating and placed it on the floor.

Ah, so it has no weight when it’s floating, huh?

I hadn’t realized it because I had only watched the【Floating Orb】and【Magic Steel】until they fell.

I see now…

After the light completely disappeared, Elena picked it up again.

"A shield… perhaps? Well, I suppose that’s right."

"It’s called【Red Shield】. It’s not really for me, but it’s not bad."

Elena smiled, and Seriana seemed pleased too.

I wonder if Elena is going to use the shield?

I… I don’t know.

"Looks like a good start. Alec, it’s your turn next."

While I was still in a daze, Alec went up to the goddess statue, knelt, and raised his Holy Coin, just like Elena did earlier.

Seeing this bulky guy doing that pose was kind of surreal and funny.

I wonder if it’s going to glow from here on out… I have to try not to laugh.

It did glow, but only for a brief moment.

And what appeared was small.

It was about the size of my fist, floating in the air.

"【Magic Crystal】… alchemy material. It’s a miss."

Alec grabbed it with one hand while it was still floating in the air, and said this with a slightly disappointed expression.

【Magic Crystal】… Is it a relative of【Magic Steel】?

He said it’s an alchemy material, so does that mean【Magic Steel】is also a material?

And it’s a miss, huh...

"Yeah. Well, it’s fine. Next, it’s my turn."

With those words, Seriana stepped up to the goddess statue.

Would she do that pose as well, despite how high and mighty she is?

I thought it would look out of place, but… she just stood there and casually extended one hand toward the statue.

I can’t say much about others, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much respect there.

Well, it seems that even with such a casual prayer, the goddess still answered, and Seriana began to glow.

Unlike Alec, it was closer to the way Elena glowed. I guess it depends on the item?

Before long, the light settled, and what appeared was a 40-centimeter green, cone-shaped object.

What is that? A stake?

"【Green Fang】. It looks like a weapon, but… who knows?"

Ah, even she doesn’t understand it.

With that, we’ve finished the third round, but there’s still so much I don’t understand.

Even when it’s my turn, and when I watch others do it, I can’t figure it out.

It’s strange.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to sum it up with just one sentence, but here’s my impression:

◇

After the gacha, we all gathered in Seriana’s room.

The gacha items were placed on the desk in front of us.

I thought we’d be testing how to use them or practicing in the training hall, but it wasn’t like that.

"【Green Fang】. Elena, you use this. In exchange, the【Red Shield】goes to Alec. I’ll take the【Magic Crystal】."

Seriana said this while placing her hands on【Green Fang】and【Red Shield】.

Something must have happened, because both items glowed for a moment, and then their shapes changed.

【Green Fang】turned into a small, beautiful green knife, about 20 centimeters long.

【Red Shield】didn’t change in size, but it transformed from a simple red board into a stylish, bright red shield that looked straight out of a manga or game.

"Ooh~…"

I was amazed by the【Shadow Sword】on my right hand, but this fantasy-like atmosphere is just unbeatable.

I really wonder how this works.

Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 1

  What I see before me is about 30 children sleeping in a large room. It’s the usual sight. And as always, I was the first to wake up, lying in a corner of the room facing the wall. This, too, was nothing new. It has been six years and a little more since I was abandoned at this orphanage. Another morning, just like any other. The only difference—there was something hard clutched in my hand. It wasn’t a copper coin. Nor was it a silver coin. I’d never seen one before, but it wasn’t a gold coin either. It was a white, lustrous coin. One side bore the image of a woman, while the other had an engraving of what looked like a temple. I had never seen anything like it. But somehow, I had a feeling I knew what it was. A Holy Coin. ◇ Holy Coins. They are a divine blessing, given at birth and again on one’s eighth birthday, placed into one’s hands. Aside from that, they are supposedly awarded for great achievements… or so it is said. And if you collect enough of them, someth...

Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 2

 As I sighed and raised the Holy Coin, a sudden drum roll began to play. And then—the reel started spinning at an incredible speed. Before me were the director’s desk, a statue of a goddess or something behind it, and the wall. I instinctively rubbed both my eyes, but nothing changed. The only thing I was sure of was that the reel was still spinning. “…My brain?” I didn’t say what exactly, but it felt like my brain. ~drum roll ~.... I quickly finished cleaning. Normally, I’d be reading a book by now, but there was no way I could focus on that. At some point, the Holy Coin I had been holding vanished. I considered the possibility that I had dropped it in shock and searched the entire room, but it was nowhere to be found… ~drum roll~… And then, this drum roll. It was annoying, and I really wanted it to stop, but there was no lever or button. How was I supposed to stop it…? Since the Holy Coin disappeared and this phenomenon began, this was probably some kind of gacha sy...

Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 3

 It has been ten days since then. During that time, I tried various things and discovered a few things. First, regarding 【Hideout】 itself. To enter, you simply need to imagine opening a door on a flat surface like a wall or floor. The first time I activated it, I was lying down facing a wall, thinking about opening a door. Considering how rare such a situation is in daily life, I was pretty lucky. The door is about two meters tall and one meter wide. As long as I enter with them, objects can be brought inside as well. I tested it by storing water and monitoring how it decreased—it seemed to follow the same passage of time as the outside world. I can’t just throw anything and everything inside, but as a storage space, it’s flawless. Leaving the room is simple. I just have to walk out the door. Next, about the contents of the room. All the furniture I once used was still there. Tables, sofas, beds, and even appliances like a refrigerator, air conditioner, and computer re...
