Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 39

"Ho!"

Kick.

"Ha!"

Kick!

"Ta!"

Just keep kicking!

"Yah!"

With a sharp swing, I snapped my leg up to head height.

Since I’ve gotten a young body again, the results of my daily stretching routine are showing.

Every time I throw a kick, the 【Scarlet Bee Needle】 wrapped around my right foot sparks red with a crackling sound.

It feels a bit superpowered.

The crackling along the arc of the high kick looks cool too.

Should I give this technique a name or something?

It’s already been 10 days since the “Actually I was the undead" incident.

When I asked Alec, it seems that adventurers have come to know about me to some extent through “Lagiola’s Fang” and the guild.

Because of that, it settled on the possibility that the undead mistook me for someone else.

Still, in case there really were undead lurking, leaving it alone would only cause more damage, so they’re currently investigating the shallows and the entire upper layer just to be safe.

Meanwhile, I’ve been told to refrain from entering the dungeon because it’s confusing.

This will end in about a month, but until then, I’m left with free time.

I had planned to spend all my time in the dungeon in the royal capital, but faced with this unexpected free period, I was wondering what to do when Seriana asked if I wanted to come along to the academy if I was bored... but I refused.

I was a little interested in the grand library inside the academy, but jumping into a crowd of noble brats didn’t really appeal to me.

So, I decided to investigate the effects of 【Scarlet Bee Needle】 back at the mansion.

As a result, it seems that 【Scarlet Bee Needle】 manifests its effects not only by stepping on things but also through kicking.

Bees attack not just by stinging with their needles, but sometimes by biting too.

Because the colors are distinctly red and black, and even divided between boots and tights, I thought there must be something to it, so I tried various things—and I was right.

Well, it’s a bit embarrassing that the effect triggered when I was walking around the garden and a caterpillar stuck to my shoe, so I gave my foot a strong shake, but the result was fine.

By the way, the caterpillar exploded.

I really can’t stand caterpillars or green worms.

Not only stepping on things, but kicking is also dangerous to try on others, so I’m training alone in the backyard of the mansion.

I have a feeling Alec, who carries the 【Red Shield】, might be able to withstand it though.

I’ve gotten the hang of it.

When kicking, it’s important not just to perform the motion but to strongly imagine “kick.”

Doing that, when I start to swing my leg, some kind of spark appears.

I’m curious about what that is, but thinking about the caterpillar’s fate, I don’t want to touch it.

For now, I have to concentrate on each and every kick, but eventually I want to be able to do it unconsciously.

"You're working hard."

As I was nailing high kicks, an old man who came out into the backyard spoke to me.

Usually, the butler is with him, but today he’s alone.

"Not going out this morning?"

He seemed busy going out every morning for the past few days, but maybe that’s over now?

"Yeah. I took some time for adjustments and arranged for us to use the knight order’s training grounds. I told Seriana about it yesterday. So, how about going? For the next few days, a squad led by a man who was once my subordinate is using it, but you’re free to use it too."

"Hmm?"

So that’s why he’s been going out recently?

Indeed, kicking at thin air without any target was getting boring with no sense of impact…

I hadn’t done the stepping-on part out of consideration for the garden, and it seems he put some effort into this, so maybe I’ll go.

"Alright. I’ll go."

"Good. The carriage is ready out front, so get ready and come."

With that, he briskly walked back to the mansion.

They already got the carriage ready?

Was this all decided without asking me?

…Yeah.

I’m pretty sure the old man wanted to see various effects of 【Scarlet Bee Needle】.

…Well, whatever.

I’ll gratefully accept his offer.

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...
