Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 60

 “Fuaaah～ahfu”

While I was lazing around in Seriana’s room reading a book, a huge yawn slipped out.

Maybe it’s because I’ve started waking up early since I began going to the farm—though it’s really just that I wake up before Seriana comes to wake me… but once it’s past noon, I get sleepy.

In my previous life, my sleep was fairly light, and even when I was at the orphanage I was always the first one up, but… has the safety of 【Hideout】 made me lose my sense of caution?

Or maybe the bedding I pestered the old man for was just that good…。

Now then, about 【Mira’s Blessing】 that I’ve been testing—this blessing makes light come out of my hands, and that light becomes the area where the effect reaches.

Using both hands works better than one, and while the range gets narrower, touching directly with my hands makes the effect even stronger.

As for what it does, I could mess with hair, and it turned out it wasn’t “aesthetic” so much as beauty in general.

My hair becomes glossy, silky, and perfectly straight, and even my nails ended up shiny.

And on top of that!

Unbelievably!!

You can even diet with it!

People who work on the farm obviously move their bodies, so there wasn’t anyone who was outright obese, but there were people who had gotten a little plump for their age.

When I used the blessing on them, I noticed they were slimming down, if only a little.

At the time, I’d used it on their arms, and at first I thought, Maybe it just reduced swelling? But when I tried it on their stomachs, I could clearly tell they’d actually lost weight.

There might be some downside or side effect, so I haven’t used it too strongly, but even so, they’d gotten slimmer by about one belt hole.

When I told Seriana and the others the results of the testing, they listened very seriously.

She noticed what happened with my hair at a glance too, and being a woman, she probably has an interest in beauty and the like.

She told me to conduct deeper tests, but the problem is, there’s only so much I can do by myself.

“Sera, are you there?”

“I am—?”

As I was wondering what to do, a voice called from outside the room.

I’m directly under Seriana, not a servant of this estate, so when I have free time I go help on my own, but I’m almost never assigned work.

At most, they’ll have me go to the Adventurer Guild.

If someone came all the way here to call me, something must have happened, right?

I hurried to the door and opened it.

“What is it?”

“The master would like you to come to his room. He says there’s a guest with him as well.”

A guest is here, and he wants me there too?

“Got it. I’ll be right there.”

What could this be?

I have questions, but I’ll understand once I go.

I got onto 【Floating Orb】 and left the room.

◇

I came all the way to the room in one go, but now what?

If the old man’s guest is here, they’re probably a noble, and I haven’t been taught proper speech or etiquette… for now, I should at least get off 【Floating Orb】.

So… what do I do?

“Sera, huh. Get in here already.”

While I was hesitating in front of the door, the old man’s voice came from inside.

“Ngah⁉”

I wasn’t on guard, so I accidentally let out a weird sound.

Well, he’s telling me to come in.

I’ll just go in without worrying about it.

When I enter, they’re in the reception area, and a guest is seated directly across from the old man.

It’s a man, and though I can only see his back, he feels younger than the old man.

Who is he?

“Good, you’re here. Sit here.”

He looks at me and beckons.

If he called me, he’ll probably introduce me, so for now I roll 【Floating Orb】 along as I enter the room.

“What, you got off? You can stay on it, you know.”

Really!

I get back onto 【Floating Orb】, move to the old man’s side, and just keep floating there.

There isn’t a seat for me, so this is fine, right?

I look at the guest’s face—maybe early forties? He seems older than Elias, Seriana’s father.

“This is Sera. Sera, this man is Baron Brams Feld Reiselk. He is also the lord of the Reiselk territory.”

“I’m Sera.”

I can’t help thinking, Who is that…? but I lower my head and greet him.

“I am Brams Feld Reiselk.”

He returns the greeting while looking at me.

Hmm… well, he doesn’t seem like a strange person, at least.

Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 1

What comes into view are about thirty children sleeping in a large room. The usual sight. And I was sleeping facing the wall in the corner of that room, and I woke up earlier than anyone else in the room. This, too, is the usual. It’s been a little over six years since I was abandoned at this orphanage. It’s a morning no different than usual. The only difference is that I’m gripping something hard in my hand. It’s not a copper coin. Not a silver coin, either. I’ve never seen one, but it isn’t a gold coin, either. It’s a white, glossy coin; on one side there’s a woman, and on the other side something like a temple is engraved. I’ve never seen anything like this. But I can kind of guess what this is. A Holy Coin. ◇ A Holy Coin. A blessing from the goddess, bestowed while held in one’s hand at the moment of one’s first cry, and on one’s eighth birthday. Other than that, I’ve heard it has a chance of being bestowed when you accomplish some great feat… I don’t really underst...

Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 2

Dorororo "?!"  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 s...

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...
