Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 171

 Alright, let's get back on track and move on to the next one!

They say it's hit or miss, but statistically, the odds of winning are almost the same.

Even though it's relatively balanced, the combined probability of drawing a boon or blessing is over 60%.

It would actually be strange if we didn't draw one of those!

Alright... I feel like I can do this!

"What is it?"

I noticed Seliana giving me a sidelong glance and spoke up.

"Nothing. I won't say anything more."

...Am I striking a weird pose or something?

Ten holy coins. Equivalent to 200 gold coins.

Even though I've been getting them at a good pace, it's still a lot of money.

Of course, I'd get a bit overly focused.

Alright! Let's get back to it for the last time.

"Hunh!"

Come on, something good, something good...

I focused my mind to the background music of a drum roll...

"Hup!"

As soon as the sound stopped, I saw the image of the door leading to the 【Hideout】.

For a moment, I thought I had activated it by mistake, but then the word 【Enhancement】 popped into my head.

...What does that mean?

"A blessing, perhaps?"

Seliana seemed to guess that nothing had appeared.

But I felt like something was different.

What could it be... just a hunch?

"It feels different... even though it said 【Enhancement】..."

Hearing this, Seliana and Elena both tilted their heads in unison.

They don't seem to have any ideas either...

This time, it feels like something's different compared to before.

"Before the word 【Enhancement】 came up, I felt the same way I do when I use the 【Hideout】. Could it be related?"

"The 【Hideout】... a blessing. Right... Sera, let's check it out. Elena, please make sure no one enters the room."

⁉

"Yes. Take care."

You're not going to stop us?

"Is this okay?"

"It’s better for the two of us to investigate, and it’s not particularly dangerous anymore, right?"

"Hmm..."

When I glanced at Elena, she gave a wry smile.

She might be bored from being cooped up in the mansion all the time.

"Got it. Let's go."

I activated the 【Hideout】 and entered with Seliana.

◇

"...This is easy to understand."

"...Yeah."

I stopped in my tracks at the entrance of the 【Hideout】.

I didn't know what the 【Enhancement】 was, but I immediately noticed a change.

The layout of the 【Hideout】 extends from the entrance to one side, with a hallway containing a closet and toilet at the front, followed by a living room, kitchen, bathroom, washroom, and another room at the back.

However... there's now an extra door opposite the closet in the hallway.

"Shall we go in?"

"...I'll go first."

Though it didn't have a lock, it was sturdy, like a front door rather than an interior door.

I didn't recognize it, but I decided to enter.

"Oh..."

As soon as I opened the door and looked inside, I understood.

On one side of a short hallway, there was a small refrigerator and kitchen, and on the opposite side, a toilet and bathroom, with a floored room beyond.

It even had a loft.

This... is like my one-room apartment from my student days.

The sad memory of choosing a place with a loft only to turn it into storage by the end of the May holidays came flooding back...

"What’s wrong? Oh... it has expanded."

Seliana peeked in, wondering why I was standing frozen in place, and gave a simple impression, oblivious to my mixed feelings.

She then proceeded to open each door as she moved forward.

Although there were only a toilet and bathroom...

I followed her, but there was nothing particularly different, and we soon finished looking and came back.

The gas stove in the kitchen had turned into an induction cooktop, I suppose?

It would have been important in my previous life, but it doesn't seem like a big deal now.

"Should we call this the main building and this the annex? From here, we can't see outside... Maybe we should use it as storage or... Alex's room?"

"Yeah, he did seem a bit uncomfortable."

I recalled Alex's behavior in the 【Hideout】 at Seliana's words.

Including me, it's mostly women, after all.

Especially with the mistress Seliana being so conspicuous, it must have been tiring for him.

He often stayed outside even when he had the chance to enter the 【Hideout】.

Maybe he can use this now?

Still... while the functions haven't changed, does enhancement mean an expansion?

It will be convenient if more people use this place in the future, but I don't quite get it.
