Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 14

 Well, I’m not sure, but the item’s form has changed.

The 【Floating Orb】 was originally just a heavy ball, so perhaps by doing this, it might be able to show its effect.

That aside, I wonder what they’re doing now?

Seriana is trying to hand over an item to the two of them, but she’s kneeling like when pulling from a gacha.

It might be fine if she’s just handing it over, but both of them are touching the item and placing their free hands together.

What kind of ritual is this…?

As I wonder about it, it seems that this mysterious ritual? has ended.

Elena and Alec are each taking it in hand and making changes.

“Do you have something you want to ask?”

Noticing that I’ve been staring at them, Seriana walks over to me.

“What was that you were doing just now?”

“Well… give me that ring.”

“Huh?!”

After the recent Holy Coin incident, I instinctively pull my hand behind me and step back.

“I’m not taking it. I’ll just borrow it for the explanation.”

I decide it’s fine and take it off my finger and hand it to her.

“Watch carefully.”

With that, she places it on her left hand, but nothing happens.

She shows her hand to me, but the size is a bit too big, and her nails remain pink.

“…Oh?”

When I wear the 【Shadow Sword】, it adjusts to the size of my finger, and my nails turn black.

I thought that’s how it worked, but is that not the case?

As I’m wondering about it, she removes the ring and takes my hand, putting the ring on my finger.

The ring adjusts to fit, and my nails turn black as expected. I try growing my nails, and they grow just fine.

“…Huh?”

Could there be an ownership restriction?

“Did you understand? Only the one who first unlocks the Blessing Item can use it.”

Saying this, she removes the ring from my hand and places it on herself again, but nothing happens.

See? She shows me her hand.

“However, there’s an exception. That’s the Granting Ritual. The one who unlocked it can grant the right to use it to others. This way, multiple people can use a single Blessing Item.”

Blessing Item refers to the item, and unlocking refers to the changed state, I think?

I see... so that’s why I called it a prize even though I wasn’t going to use it when I pulled it from the gacha.

If others can use it too, it could even be used as a reward.

I wonder if my bad relationship with the church, who’s collecting Holy Coins, has something to do with this?

By the way, could you return the ring…?

“Sera-chan, could you help me out a bit?”

While floating around inside the mansion, I was called over by the head maid, Hanna.

“Huh? Sure.”

It seemed like a vehicle of sorts, so I had been refraining from using the 【Floating Orb】 indoors... but the place is just so large.

I’ve been using a staff room in another building, but it’s really tough for me to go back and forth.

So, I got permission to use it inside the mansion as well.

A few days have passed since I pulled the gacha, and Elena and Alec have been training nonstop to master their items, and Seriana occasionally joins them.

I can’t use the items, and while there are swords and spears in the training area, they’re too heavy for me to handle.

Plus, it would be dangerous and disruptive with a child around, so I’ve been left to just hang around the mansion.

I’ve finished exploring the mansion, and there’s a library, but since books are valuable, I haven’t been allowed inside, so I’ve started helping the staff with things.

Although I look like a maid, I’ve been told not to do any work.

However, if a child who suddenly showed up is given their own room and left to do as they please without working, it might stir up some resentment, even though I’m with the young lady.

So, I help with simple tasks.

Specifically, things up high.

Since I can use the 【Floating Orb】, there’s no problem at all.
