Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 300

 For now, I moved onto Fiora’s lap as instructed and activated 【Mira's Blessing】.

“Oh?”

Fiora seemed surprised and let out a voice of astonishment.

“Hm? …Ah! Sorry, it’s just a habit…”

I wondered if something was wrong, but it seemed to be my fault.

Lately, whenever I attached myself to someone, I always activated 【Mira's Blessing】, so it had become an unconscious habit.

Sometimes I do it when I'm sticking to the mansion’s staff, but the people I usually stick to are Seriana, Elena, and Teresa.

Since it’s fine to use it or be used by it with those people… well, Fiora is family, so it should be fine, right?

“There’s no problem. Thank you… Just stay like that and listen. I’ll explain what I need from you.”

With that, she drew closer the four containers of soil that were placed on the desk.

“This soil was collected from different places. I want you to use your snake and the enchanted items to examine it.”

“Hmm? Well… I don’t really understand, but I’ll give it a try.”

Activating Akame and 【Fairy’s Eye】, I stared intently at the soil in the containers.

…Even though I stared hard, I saw nothing. It just looked like ordinary soil.

It reminded me of a science experiment.

“…It’s just ordinary soil, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. So, I’ll add one more step.”

This time, Fiora took a container filled with some kind of liquid and started adding a few drops of it into each container.

As the liquid came into view, I noticed it was faintly glowing… meaning it contained magical power.

Is this a magic experiment rather than a science one?

“I want you to take another close look at the soil.”

Following her instructions, I examined the soil closely again, but it still looked like just ordinary soil… or not?

“It seems like it’s glowing a little.”

One of the four containers of soil appeared to be faintly glowing… or at least, I thought so.

“Oh!!”

Upon hearing that, some of the older men seemed excited, but what’s going on?

“See? I told you it would be like this, didn’t I?”

Zighart, who had somehow moved behind me, said with a hint of pride.

Was this experiment Zighart’s suggestion?

“Hey, it’s interesting that the soil glows and all, but… what exactly is this about?”

“Oh, right, right. Look at this map. There are marks in four locations, right? Those are the places where the soil was collected. They are also candidate sites for the battlefield with the Demon King species.”

“Hmm!”

Looking at the map, there are four numbered locations around the forest marked with an ‘X’.

And the containers of soil also have numbers… so, does that mean:

“You collected soil from places with the same numbers?”

“That’s right. The forest marked with an ‘X’ is the territory of the Demon King species.”

“Haah… So, you’re driving them to the numbered locations from there.”

“You understand quickly. That’s exactly right. And the liquid Fiora added contains her magical power.”

“…Okay.”

I didn’t quite understand, but maybe it’s a trap they’re setting?

“To minimize damage, ensure a certain defeat, and do it in a short time, we’ll use a rather large spell. The better the match with my magical power, the better. Normally, it would require many chemicals and time, but Zighart thought you might be able to manage it. It seems likely to work well.”

Now, Fiora began explaining while shaking the container of liquid.

I didn’t understand how it worked, but I got the gist of it.

“So, is that all? Is it okay to leave it like this?”

I pointed at the container that had emitted light, which had already disappeared.

Since the other soils showed no reaction, it was probably the one that was the best match.

“Yes, that’s right if it’s just my magical power.”

“Hmm?”

“I mentioned that we would use a large spell, right? We’ll use several chemicals for its activation. The quality of magical power changes with their combination…”

Fiora looked at a box placed in the corner of the room as she said this.

I looked too… there were three quite large boxes stacked on top of each other.

Could those contain the chemicals?

“Well… that’s what it means.”

Noticing that I was looking at the boxes, Zighart opened the lid of the top box and showed it to me.

Inside were about ten bottles the same size as potion bottles.

I wondered if the two boxes below contained the same amount…
