Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 58
“Eeeeh……”
【Prayer】 makes my whole body glow faintly, but this is a little different.
The part I touched with my hand is glowing.
Then this isn’t 【Prayer】.
Which means, this is 【Mira’s Blessing】!
When I look in the mirror, it’s still glowing.
…What’s going to happen? This.
Also, why does it activate just from washing my face and fixing my bedhead?
As I stared at it thinking that, it gradually weakened, and in the end it disappeared.
Was it about 30 seconds?
What changed was…。
“Ooh…”
My bedhead is fixed.
…No way that’s all, right?
My hair isn’t sticking up anymore, but…。
“Ah”
The waviness at the ends, and the parts that used to puff outward a little, have settled down.
I’ve never done it, but wouldn’t a straight・perm make it feel like this?
I understand the change in my hair, but then did my face change anywhere?
I move my face closer and stare into the mirror.
Smooth, dewy skin that beads water right off.
Same as always!
Is this seriously all there is?
I check the hand that was glowing too, but there’s no change.
I used to have chapped skin, calluses, hangnails, and such, but lately I haven’t been doing any water work or heavy labor, and with 【Prayer】 healing things as well, my hands have become completely soft.
“Hmph…”
If it’s a blessing from the goddess of beauty, I feel like there should be something more… like… something.
It’s convenient, sure, but it can’t be just a hair・iron effect.
I’ll have to test it properly.
-Guoo~-
First, breakfast!
◇
I ate.
The menu was bread, an omelet, soup and salad, and strawberries.
It was a pretty substantial menu.
Outside the city walls of the royal capital, farms and ranches spread out, and each noble invests according to their faction, then has what’s harvested there delivered to their estate.
It might be nobles-only, but there are always fresh ingredients available.
This world’s food situation… can’t be underestimated.
I was thinking about it even during the meal, this blessing.
Could it be something like an esthetic treatment?
Going as far as cosmetic surgery feels a bit too powerful, but if it’s just messing with hair and skin, it seems possible.
With that as my working theory, I tried placing my right hand on my left while focusing, and it started glowing just like before.
Mm-hm.
Seems like I’m right.
So, I’m thinking I’ll use it on the estate’s servants and continue testing.
In earlier 【Prayer】 tests, minor things like rough skin have already been healed, but this is a different direction, and there probably aren’t any side effects, so it should be fine.
Seriana also said it isn’t a boon item or for combat, so it’s okay to test it in the estate.
Strike while the iron’s hot!
I’ll go get permission from the old man.
◇
“Hmm. Your hairstyle really has changed…”
When I went to the old man’s office to get permission, he asked me to explain the blessing.
Well, fair enough, so I was explaining it, and it seems he noticed my hairstyle.
As expected of a former soldier.
He’s quick to notice changes in people.
“Understood. If there’s no danger, I’ll allow it. In that case… first, use it on me and show me.”
“…We still don’t know what effect it has, you know?”
“I don’t mind.”
I think it’ll be fine, but when I warned him just in case, he brushed it off with a single word.
Then he thrust out his left hand.
So he wants me to use it on that.
“Alright, I’ll do it.”
Well, it shouldn’t turn out badly.
I hold both hands over the old man’s left hand.
Even though he’s stepped back from the front lines, he still swings a sword in the training yard and the garden, so his hand is tanned, rough, and knotted.
There are scars all over it too, so changes should be easier to see than on a servant.
“Hah!”
Rather than treatment, I picture a massage and put some spirit into it.
In response, light spills from both my hands, wrapping around the old man’s left hand.
“How does it feel?”
“Hmm. It feels sort of warm, sort of itchy… well, it doesn’t seem like anything bad, but…”
Maybe it’s improving blood circulation?
As I keep watching his left hand, the tanned skin grows slightly lighter.
And little by little, I realize the scars are fading.
