Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 64

 “Looks like you were really happy.”

“Seriously. Knowing what she used to be like, it was honestly painful to watch how she was after we came to the royal capital… I’m glad.”

“…Was it really that bad?”

Seriana, who doesn’t know what Elmeria looked like before the treatment started, asks me.

“Yeah. She was probably about one and a half times your size, Lady.”

“S-…I see… then I’m glad she was able to lose weight.”

Mm.

Absolutely.

Right now, we’re in the carriage on the way back from the Feld estate, having finished the final day of treatment.

Starting with both arms, then the torso, head, and then each leg in turn—we made steady progress, and today we completed it safely.

On the first day, I misjudged how much I would wear myself out, but the four days after that were fine.

I feel like I’ve gotten one level better at handling 【Mira’s Blessing】.

And as a bonus, I got a total of twenty-five gold coins—five per day.

I can earn Holy Coins in the dungeon, but I didn’t have much cash on hand.

I don’t have any plans to spend it, but having money is a good thing.

“I’m glad, too. I got to talk about all sorts of things today.”

Today, not only Oriana-san, but Seriana came along as well.

She gave Elena a day off, and it seems she even skipped the academy to come with us—but apparently, it was worth it.

I was focused, so I only knew they were talking about something, but… what were they talking about?

“Indeed. You’ll be attending the ceremony as well, won’t you?”

Oriana-san, sure—but Seriana is attending too?

She said they were in the same faction, and it feels sudden, but I suppose that can happen.

“Yes. Since we’ve finally built this connection, I can’t be discourteous. There are still five days, so perhaps I should ask Sera as well.”

She says it while looking at me.

But… what does she plan to use it for?

“Doesn’t seem like you’d really need it, but if it’s just your hair and skin, that’s fine.”

“I see. I’m looking forward to it.”

◇

“By the way—what was that issue with this blessing that you were worried about?”

“Hm? Uh, well…”

The night before the Feld family wedding, with the ceremony tomorrow.

For the past several days, I’ve been using the skill on Seriana as well, but just like how Elmeria chatted with Oriana-san, even if it’s only an hour, sitting still in silence is boring.

So Elena and I ended up being her conversation partners.

What did we talk about?

Nothing special—mostly small talk like what I’d been doing, whether anything interesting had happened… but today, she asked about 【Mira’s Blessing】.

Considering she’s had the skill used on her for days already and only now brings it up, she’s got nerve.

“True. Even if the you from when we first met used it on yourself, you wouldn’t lose weight.”

Elena, who was listening too, answers.

Mm.

Back then, I really was skin and bones.

“Indeed. Even if you’ve filled out a little, you’re still thin even now… but you are using it on yourself too, aren’t you?”

“Just to fix my bedhead, though. But, well, I’m starting to get the hang of how to use it. If I stay focused, it’s fine.”

“I see. No failures?”

“Yeah. And even when I say ‘failure,’ it was more like there being some unevenness—like how to fix a tan, or how to erase scars—so I could correct it afterward.”

As for slimming someone down, I hadn’t had a subject to test it on before, but this time I got the knack.

Unless I deliberately try to throw the balance off, if it’s the same amount of time, the result ends up roughly the same.

Hardly anyone is perfectly symmetrical anyway, so it should be fine.

“I see…”

Hearing that, she sinks into thought.

“What, something up?”

“At the academy, there’s been a bit of talk about Elmeria-sama. Depending on how tomorrow’s ceremony goes, you might receive requests.”

Seriously…?

“As for that, I have an idea. Grandmother will be there as well, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Hm?”

I want to ask for more detail, but as if the conversation is over, she closes her eyes.

When I look to Elena, she lowers her gaze to the book in her hands—if Seriana isn’t going to talk, it seems she won’t either.

…This isn’t going to turn into something weird, is it?

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...
