Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 205

 "Let's do this!"

With both fists raised high above my head, I faced the holy image.

"Just hurry up and get it over with," Seriana said, dismissing my spirited shout.

"Mmm..."

Jighalt gave a wry smile, shrugging as if he understood. Well, whatever.

The night before departure.

We decided to try our luck at the gacha, considering it never hurts to have more information on items and skills. So, in addition to the usual three of us, Jighalt and Fiora joined in.

I hadn't told the two of them about the [Hideout] yet, but it's not like another [Enhancement] would come so soon. Even if it did, we'd deal with it then.

I had hoped to save up 20 tokens for two tries, but with continuous joint training, I rarely had the chance to defeat enemies alone. I only managed to save up enough for one try.

Well, it’s do or die.

This time, I’ll get that long-range weapon for sure!

"Hmmph!"

The sacred coin vanished, and a drumroll echoed in my mind.

It's been a while since I heard this sound.

Come on, give me something good!

"Hup!"

Without dragging it out, I stopped the roll. The words that appeared in my mind were [Amber Sword].

A sword... A sword, huh.

Doesn't seem like a long-range weapon...

And then, a small ring materialized before my eyes.

Huh?

Another ring?

"Gotcha..."

I caught the floating ring and examined it closely in my palm.

...semi-transparent yellow... Ah, amber-colored.

It was a slender amber ring, a bit more delicate than the [Shadow Sword].

"What did you get?"

Alek and Jighalt approached, looking very interested. Do they know what this is?

"It's a ring, but it says [Amber Sword]. Do you know it?"

"...⁉ The [Amber Ring]?"

"Oh? You know it, Alek?"

"I've only heard stories... Wouldn't the lady know more about it?"

We all turned to Seriana, who nodded.

"First, let’s unlock it. Come, Seria."

"Sure."

◇

"It doesn't look different. What kind of item is it?"

After unlocking it, it still looked the same as the [Shadow Sword]. It fit perfectly on my finger, too.

"When activated, a sword appears. Hand it over."

She took the ring from me and put it on her left finger.

"Oh?"

With a quick flick of her hand, a slender sword appeared, almost like magic.

The blade was about 50 centimeters long and transparent, reminiscent of glass.

"This is my first time seeing it too. Remember Elisha's maid's ring? It was called the [Amber Shield], said to be paired with this one."

When I used [Mira's Blessing] on Elisha, two attendants were by her side. I had a feeling they had some items, but I didn't know their names.

"That one is for defense, while this one is for attack... When you slash with it, the blade shatters."

"Huh?"

Is it fragile, as it looks?

"The shattered fragments pierce the opponent. It’s a weapon, but more for self-defense."

"Interesting... It seems strong, but for self-defense?"

I could picture shattered blades piercing enemies, like scenes from games or comics in my previous life.

Seems pretty powerful...

"It always hits its target, but each fragment is small with low lethality. It's said to be passed down to the first wife of a certain duke’s house in the west. It doesn't require training and can be worn anytime, so it’s used in emergencies."

"Interesting... No training needed, but it seems useless against monsters. Should I give it to the lady?"

Though it’s a valuable item, it’s like a stiletto. I might not make the best use of it...

"Keep it."

Seriana refused.

"Really? Well, it does seem interesting."

"You lack restraint with humans, right? It’s fine against bandits, but it’d be troublesome if we needed to capture someone alive."

"I see."

My equipment is quite extreme... I've never fought humans, but even against bandits, my weapons are a bit too lethal.

In that sense, this might suit me.

Isn’t this a great pull!

"Alright, since we’re departing tomorrow, you can test it when we reach the capital."

"What⁉"

Isn’t that too long to wait⁉
