Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 158

 "Welcome back."

When I returned from Minea's room, Alec was gone.

"I'm home. Is Alec not here?"

"He went to the Adventurer's Guild. They needed to consult with him. So, how was Lady Flora?"

As busy as ever. Even though we'll be leaving the capital soon, he's still taking on various tasks.

But anyway...

"Yeah, she was satisfied. We didn't have much time, so I had to use the same method as with Jig, but she said she'd like to ask for my help again while we're still here. So, there might be another request coming."

That's probably another job in the pipeline.

"And about the payment, I've already received the money. She mentioned she loves reading books, so she's arranged to send me new releases from the capital. She'll even provide a dedicated carriage for the deliveries."

"We can fill the extra space with whatever we like. That's very much like your mother..."

Unlike in my previous life, I doubt there are more than ten books a year that I'd want to read. Arranging a whole carriage just for that seems wasteful.

When I mentioned that they could just include the books with the merchant caravans, they explained it to me.

It's similar to the practice of sending packages to daughters married into other families, using the carriage space as a way to ensure delivery. By going through the commercial guild of the capital, it also serves as proof of delivery, ensuring it reaches its destination even if relations with the husband sour.

Still...

"A whole carriage is a bit much."

"It's just the neighboring territory. They could send it directly from here. The reason they don’t is probably to secure materials from the magical wilderness and transport them to the capital region."

Seliana said, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Indeed. Oriana and Flora are probably involved. They have connections in the capital and can promote the young lady's achievements in the new territory."

Elena followed up on Seliana's words. This is so convoluted.

"I think the request for you was also to convey this message."

"Interesting..."

Although she seemed cheerful, she’s clearly been thinking about a lot. When I glanced at Seliana, she was resting her chin on her hand, elbow on the table, legs crossed. These were unusual gestures for her.

"She's embarrassed."

Elena whispered to me. It's the first time I've seen her act so childishly.

...Looks like Minea is better at this.

◇

"Going down the stairs now."

She said, with me clinging to her back.

"Okay."

She carried me down the stairs safely and headed to the break room on the first floor.

"Am I heavy?"

"Not at all. Make sure you eat well over there, okay?"

"I am eating, you know?"

I’ve been growing, but I’m still light. Maybe I need to eat more?

Anyway, the reason I was being carried was to use the "Blessing of Mira" on the servants.

The staff at this lord's mansion typically consists of 20 men and 30 women, although this can vary. Additionally, there are cooks, gardeners, and guards, but the overall number hasn't changed.

This means I need to perform the blessing for 30 people. Though it’s not a formal request, it’s a matter of obligation.

Since I didn’t have enough time to perform the blessing for everyone thoroughly, I decided to test a new, more efficient method I came up with after Flora's session. The men will have to do without.

The method involves clinging to their back, wrapping my legs around their waist, and touching their face with my hands. It's surprisingly simple when you think about it.

If I bless five people a day, I can finish in six days. Minea has given me permission to adjust my duties accordingly.

I had some business on the second floor, but during treatment, I’m allowed to use the servants' break room. I don't know if the concept of welfare exists here, but it seems similar.

"Oh!"

The timer went off, signaling an hour had passed. That was the end of her session.

Only two more to go. Then I’ll be done with everyone!
