Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 65

 The first month of summer.

In Japan, it would probably be around June.

It rains, but there’s no rainy season, and the humidity isn’t that high.

The sunlight is strong, but the breeze that comes in through the windows is cool, making it a pretty comfortable season to live in.

It seems to be the same for the monsters that live outside; around this time, their activity picks up, and they start expanding their territories.

Aimed at that, adventurers steadily gather in greater numbers at the frontier settlement.

Back when I was at the orphanage, I was constantly being dragged out to treat the injured, and my days were busy, but…。

After the wedding, just as Seriana had said, several requests came in for me.

And the idea she had mentioned in response to that.

It was to have the other party come to the estate, rather than me going to them.

Well, if you put it that way, it’s only natural that the one who has business to attend to is the one who goes.

Unless the other party’s rank is overwhelmingly higher, anyway— The old mnanis a baron personally, but the Müller family itself is a count’s house.

There’s generally no problem with summoning most people.

After Elmeria, I treated four others, but none of them were as severe as she was—or rather, none of them required me to truly buckle down. I finished in three days: both arms・upper body・lower body・.

Naturally, it was five gold coins per day.

Not a bad haul.

I also finished the verification at the farm after trying it on everyone, and in exchange, with my claws healed, I was granted permission to enter the dungeon as well, so I’ve been living in refined comfort: every two days, I earn 1～2 Holy Coins in one hour, and then spend the rest of my time reading.

Seriana, too, is in quite a good mood, being known not only among her peers at the academy, but also among the older generation, both domestically and abroad.

As a reward, she bought me things like history books that only nobles can purchase.

These are interesting.

The heroic tales of Demon King subjugations, and the events that became models for plays, actually happened.

The reason they’re limited to nobles is that they include maps and specific personal names・family names.

They did set proper countermeasures and solved the problems, but up until then they got beaten to a pulp over and over.

Some houses even died out, so they probably can’t spread it around carelessly.

Personally, what made me think “That’s insane” was the “Giant Dragon Ragyuola.”

Just as “Ragyuola’s Claws” took its name, it’s still known even now, and there was also a record of fighting it.

As expected, it apparently didn’t breathe fire or fly through the sky like in stories, but it did shatter mountains and mow down forests.

They poured in most of the national strength of the Kingdom of Luzel, and somehow succeeded in subjugating it.

Then, in the early days of the later alliance, the four nations including Luzel divided up its remains and apparently used them as building materials for the royal palace and the royal capital.

Materials made by utilizing powerful monsters have the effect of driving off weaker monsters.

Thanks to that, they must have been able to pioneer the eastern part of the continent—a land that, even now, is packed with monsters and shrouded in mystery.

Well, well. Nations really do have their histories.

“You… dressing indecently again.”

As I read my history book and let my thoughts drift to the past, Seriana’s voice jabbed into my ears.

“Welcome back. That was early?”

It was only a little past noon.

She usually gets back in the evening, but…。

“Today I was done in the morning. …At least close your legs.”

“Mm.”

I’m sprawled on the sofa with a book as my pillow.

My right leg is up on the backrest, and my left leg is hanging down.

…Well, it isn’t a particularly refined posture.

“Here. Let’s put some clothes on.”

By the way, I’m wearing a sleeveless shirt and pumpkin pants.

In other words, I’m basically in my underwear.

“It wrinkles, you know…”

With a wry smile, Elena handed me the maid outfit that had been draped over a chair.

Figuring I had no choice, I took it and got dressed.

“You’re not going to the farm anymore, right? Do you have any plans tomorrow?”

Timing it to when I’d finished dressing, Seriana spoke to me.

“Nothing tomorrow. I already went to the dungeon today.”

Is she sending me on an errand or something?

“Good, that’s perfect. Then tomorrow you’re coming to the academy too.”

“Huh?”

“You’re getting up earlier than usual, you know?”

“Hnn?”

She doesn’t seem inclined to explain, and sits down at the desk and starts reading letters.

She doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood, so it probably isn’t anything strange, but…。

If we’re not inviting someone here, and instead we’re going over there… does that mean I’m going to meet someone important?
