Chapter 22
Chapter 22 . Entering a new faith .
“Dammit! If I knew it going to be like this I would’ve collect even more lottery tickets before coming here!” The man said it with a frustrated looks as he exit from the lottery room .
Collecting more lottery tickets he say… he meant that he’s going to collect more than 100 pieces .
… . . Just what exactly will he do to collect that huge amount of lottery ticket? In the first place how exactly did he managed to collect 100 lottery tickets?
As I thought, I’ll ask him the next time I see him again .
“This is your lottery’s fourth prize, 50% discount card . ” The Staff pulled out a golden-colored card .
It looked like a golden credit card . I felt a little bit weird when I feel the texture of the card .
“If you show this card when you’re making a purchase to the seller, no matter what item it would be you will get a 50% discount . It has unlimited number of use, however it is only limited to the person who received this card in the first place . ”
“It’s the same with the wings . Understood . ”
I put the 50% discount card away .
For the remaining 10 lottery draws I gave it to Eleanor, in the end what Eleanor managed to draw out were only magic balls .
☆
Now that doing shopping with 50% discount has been made possible . There is one that I’d like to try . I want to know just how much shopping that I need to do before I get a lottery ticket . Previously, it was 300 silver coins for a lottery ticket .
With 50% discount rate, I wonder if 150 silver coins would be enough for me to get one lottery ticket .
I completely exhausted my money the last time I went to shopping, so for now I will earn 300 silver coins first .
Why 300 silver coins? I want to know if 300 silver coins would get me 2 lottery tickets . Because if it’s doesn’t, I will not have my 150 wasted without getting any lottery ticket .
While I was thinking about that, I who have returned to my mansion back from the lottery room was going to teleport to the grassy plain where the mountain cows are .
“Good morning . ” Io greeted me .
Io, with her usual magician ‘esque’ looks stood before me .
“Morning . ”
“Ki, are you going somewhere today?”
“Yeah, I’m going to hunt some mountain cows, do you want to go along?”
As I remembered that I have formed a party with Io, I asked her along .
“Hai!” She nodded with a big smile . I see, she came here with that intention .
“Well then let’s go . Come here . ”
“Eh? Hai…”
With a curious looks on Io’s face, she came closer to me . I pulled out the Warp Wings and teleported to where the mountain cows are .
“… . . eeeeehhhhhh . ”
As expected, she was greatly surprised .
“Where is this place? We were at the town until a few second ago right? . ”
“This is where the mountain cow usually make their appearance . We teleported here in a blink of an eye using magic . ”
In reality what I use was a magic item, but I told her it was a magic anyway .
“In a blink of an eye… That magic, I’ve never heard of a magic like that before . ”
“It’s a magic that is limited to only me . ”
“Amazing… to think that you can do such magic . ”
“Well, the only place that I can teleport to are places that I have gone at least once . ”
“Even so that is amazing!”
I started looking for the mountain cow along with Io who was deeply amazed with me .
Now that I think about it, though we had formed a party what exactly the things that we need to do?
“Io, what are things that you are capable of?”
“I can use offensive magic . My speciality is lightning magic . Though it would be a little bit troublesome as it will be taking quite a while to activate it . ”
“That means it would take a while for the vanguard to withstand to protect you . Inexchange, how powerful is your lightning magic attack?”
“The strength of the magic is in mid range, however as it is a lightning attack it can ignore the opponent defence capabilities . ”
“In short it’s electricity . ”
I was able to understand . Lightning magic huh, next time I’ll try receiving one of the lightning attack so that I can use it . ”
TLN : Maso anyone?
In this world, as long as you can survive a magic attack there are chances that you can learn the magic .
While we were having our chit and chat, we finally found one mountain cow .
“Yosh! For starter 100 pieces . ”
I unsheathed Eleanor… however, the condition of the mountain cow was a little bit weird . When it laid it eyes at me, slowly it turn around and retreated .
“… . . eh?”
I was puzzled . It ran away?
I immediately pull myself together and pulled out the warp wing and bring down the mountain cow .
“Just now, what had just happened?”
I murmured as I looked at the defeated mountain cow .
From my experience, for them to run away; they must be from a different species variant that the normal mountain cow that I’ve hunted .
The mountain cow that I usually hunt down would be reckless and ferocious . Though they are just a mountain cow they are indeed reckless .
That’s why I was surprised when they ran away . While I was thinking so, Io had finally caught up .
“Amazing, for a mountain cow to run away from human, this is the first time I’ve seen it happened . ”
“I was surprised too . Now then, let us turn this mountain cow into money . ”
Using the warp wing to teleport, I went to Andrew Firm along with Io and the defeated mountain cow . I handed over the mountain cow over to Andrew who becoming more and more modest when dealing with me and get myself a pouch filled with my payment .
I exited the premise and re-grouped with Io .
“Kakeru-sama . ”
Now then let us go— as I was going to say that I was called out to .
When I turned around, there was Helena .
Helena was not wearing her royal outfit, instead she’s wearing a lightweight equipment with her long hair tied into pony tail .
To be honest . The atmosphere around her was completely different than usual . It was a little bit disguised .
“Helena, what’s up with that look?”
“I really want to see Kakeru so I sneaked out from the castle . ”
“I see… . Un . ”
I looked at Helena intently . She looks really beautiful in her ‘Princess esque’ looks but her plain commoner looks is beautiful in its own way too .
… . . To be frank, I was a little bit fascinated .
“…Eh . Is it weird? This is the first time I dressed like this so I’m not really sure…”
I took Helena’s hand who was looking down embarrassed and embrace her .
“It doesn’t look weird at all, in fact it looks good . ”
“Thank you very much . ”
With Helena who was looking quite bashful in my embrace, I had become even more fascinated .
“I’m going to go hunting in a few more minutes, do you want to come along?”
“I would like to go together with you . ” Helena replied immediately .
Io was speechless when me and Helena walk towards her .
“Io? What’s wrong?”
“Ka . . Kakeru-san . Is it possible that the person on your side… . is Helena-sama?”
“Aa . ”
“Do you and Helena-sama perhaps in that sort of… . ”
“Yeah, you can say so…”
Io was even more surprised when I answered so .
On the other hand, Helena was being even more bashful .
“Ohime-sama and Kakeru-san… Amazing…”
“Yes, Kakeru-sama is really amazing . In any case he managed to subdue the cursed sword Eleanor without being possessed and his heart being swallowed . As far as I know, Kakeru-sama is the first in history . ”
“Eh? Eleanor?” Io was sounding astonished .
“Yeah, this fellow . ” I unsheathed Eleanor .
(Don’t say this fellow!)
Eleanor tell her words of objection, however I brushed it off lightly .
“Eeeeehhh . ”
Io said in a loud voice sounding very surprised .
TLN: How many times are you going to be surprised?
As she becoming the center of attention from the surrounding people, she closed her mouth hurriedly .
“Th-that sword was E-Eleanor?”
“Ah, you’re right . ”
… . Eleanor, is it really that great of a sword?
“Eleanor, it has been said in history that every time Eleanor made an appearance, it’s Undead Army would craze upon empire and lead them to destruction . ”
The legendary cursed sword, Eleanor . It was said that whoever hold the cursed sword in their possession, their heart would be swallowed by darkness to exhaustion in exchange for power without exception .
“It’s changed to ghost instead of Undead Army now . ”
Using Eleanor I summoned forth Tania .
“Hello, I am Tania Chiakisu . ”
A see-through maid ghost made an appearance before the two girls in a quiet manner .
As it was in front of people I quickly pulled her back in .
“Kakeru-san is so amazing! You’re so strong, you even have a relationship with the princess and you can even use the cursed sword normally without being possessed by it . You’re just amazing!”
Io said those words repeatedly . Regarding how amazing I am, I got the feeling that her words were on a verge of corruption .
(Her amazement was almost as if she’s entering a new faith)
Eleanor giggled in my head .
Somehow, from the look of it, she really does seems so…
Not that I feel bad about it though .
