Special draw .
I hold 10 lottery tickets as I leave Saramas Trading .
I bought the land around the mansion, which cost about 3 000 silver, and left all the troublesome stuff for Saramas to handle . Using the 50% off coupon, I managed to haggle down the price to 1500 and in the end, I bought the land for 1500 silver . After I did that, what came out were precisely these lottery tickets that are now in my possession .
Even if I use the 50 percent discount, the things that I buy still count as the same price for the lottery tickets .
TLN: Which means, even though the land was 3 000 silvers became 1500 after he used the discount ticket, the lottery still considered the purchase made as 3 000 as per the original price that was count .
I assume, out of all the cliché patterns, this pattern is the best one . Up until now, it would take about 300 silver for me to acquire 1 lottery ticket, but with this discount coupon, I was able to acquire 1 lottery ticket using only 150 silver .
With this rhythm, I can draw a lot more at the lottery machine, I will keep on saving up the tickets and draw a bunch of times . Rather than that, let’s draw some lottery!
Holding 10 lottery tickets firmly, I thought about that lottery room . With one step, the scenery before me had changed, it has become the lottery room .
“Ohh, somehow this place looks a little bit different from before . ” Eleanor who had turned into a loli and somehow got herself sitting on top of my shoulder said .
Just like what Eleanor had said, this lottery room looked a little bit different .
Be it the interior design, or the staff that I was familiar with, for some reason they have this [Congratulations] sort of atmosphere around them .
“Welcome dear customer . ”
“What going on with all these?”
“From now on a special draw has begun . ”
“Special draw?”
TLN: The original text would be limited time draw . But I changed it to special draw as that is what we usually call it . Or if you prefer it to be limited-time draw do tell me .
E/N: I think limited time draw might be better . Or special addition .
“Yes, from now on– which last for one week . The prizes for the lottery this time are made of a special line up . These prizes are only obtainable during this special draw week, so please do draw the lottery to your heart content . ”
“Special draw, why is there such thing?”
“Dear customer, are you aware of the Mercury Kingdom?”
“Aa . ”
How can I not know it, just by the name it’s the country of Helena-hime and Iris-hime .
“You see . Right now in Mercury Kingdom they are issuing paper bills replacing the coins . This is one big event, thus we would like to try and follow them by holding a special draw event . ”
“That’s the reason huh . But is there any connection between this and that?”
“When the wind blows the market makes a profit . ”
“So it’s like how the ramen shop make an event after the valentine day?”
TLN: Which means, they are going with the flow of event to rake in some profit,
That was what I thought . Even though there is no connection between the two, they still celebrate it, indeed it’s very merchant like .
Aside from that, I looked at the list of prizes for the special draw .
Consolation Prize – Lending out power (50%, until exhaustion)
Third Prize – Lending out power (30 seconds)
Second Prize – Lending out power (3 minutes)
First Prize – Lending out power (1 hour)
All of the prizes are the same . Ah, it must have been done in urgency so that’s why the lineup was looking so uninspired .
“I shall explain the prizes . The powers that are mention here would be the power of yourself dearest customer . It will be a skill that lets you lend your power to the person that you want to . For example, the person who was here with you before . If he were to use this skill, he could lend the tentacle power that he has to other people . ”
I see .
“But for your case dearest customer, it would be a little different . A person with all out strength xxx times, you can lend out the power amplification multiplier to a designated power that you want . The one that you lend would be the power that you originally had . ”
TLN: Doesn’t make any sense? It means that since he got the 777 overall strength power up, he can use any amount of amplification to amplify the power/person strength that he wants .
“So you meant to say, I can lend out the power amplification multiplier that I have?”
“That is exactly how it goes . ”
I see, it sounds kind of amazing .
For example, If I were to lend Io my amplification power on her lightning magic, she can keep Orikuto busy for a longer period of time . More like, even though I have [777 overall strength power up] it’s not like I exert all of my strength all of the time .
Like the time when I was fighting against Eleanor, I’ve only been using XXX amount of strength just to fool around . To lend out that sort of power… . Hmm, if I can lend out my power to my woman that would be good .
I looked at the prize list once again . Although the power itself is omitted, I wonder if it would work properly .
“Above the third prize, I can use the skill no matter how many times I want right?”
“Certainly . In exchange, the effects are quite short . ”
“The first prize is really the first prize . The time given is outstanding and you can use it however you want, the skill won’t be used up . ”
“By the way, by any chance you were to get the third prize twice . You can lend out your power twice to the same person, or lend it into two different people, simultaneously . ”
“So it’s better for me to lend out the power when the time duration is almost finished, right?”
The first prize would of course would be a great win if I were to get it, if I were to win the third prize for 10 times . That would be delicious too .
Fire, Ice and lightning—
“I will learn various types of magic from now on but, it would mean me being split into 10 and getting hammered by various magic spells at once””
Looks like I have to devote myself in learning it then .
Um… Delicious .
“What is the expiry date for the ‘use it until exhaustion’?”
For this type . In games there are a lot of items that have a limited time usage . For confirmation, I asked about it anyway .
“There is none . ”
“It has become an even more delicious prize . ”
“It’s a prize for the special draw after all . ”
Even though it’s a prize that was brought up nonchalantly .
… . No, maybe it was not nonchalant after all .
Well then, with that said it can’t be helped for me to draw the lotteries .
“Well then, for the mean time here 10 lottery tickets . ”
“Hai, certainly I have received 10 lottery tickets . Now then you can draw the lottery 11 times . ”
“Let me do it . ” (Eleanor)
“Sure thing . ”
Eleanor goes down from my shoulder . Just like before I put both of my hands on her arm pit and lifted her up like a kid, and align her height with the lottery machine lever .
“Se-no!”
TLN: Like you usually hear in anime… similar to One, two . . Or here goes…
*garagaragaragaragara*
“Aah! You…in one go???!!!”
“Ahahahahaha . ”
Eleanor spun then lottery machine in one go as she let out series of big laugh .
The balls come out one after another . In a blink of an eye, 11 spinning chances, my 1 500 was used up just like that . The time taken for all my chances to be used up didn’t even reach 10 seconds . I wonder if this is what they mean by scrambling .
“Okay, 10 consolation prizes and… Congratulation . You got a third prize . ”
“I did it . ” (Eleanor)
E/N: I imagine her with a “umu” kind of face .
“That one prize makes up for the other ten consolation prizes . ”
***
I brought Io along with me to the rocky mountain .
“Hello, are we going to harvest some Orikudite?”
“That would be my second motive, today I got an experiment that I’d like to try out . ”
“Experiment?”
“If Orikuto comes out, I need you to hold off Orikuto for me . ”
“Haa . ”
“Fire out your lightning spell as much as you can . ”
“But, my magic power is—,”
“Oh, it appeared quite quick . ”
“Eh… ehhh!!!” Io was surprised .
“Ka, Kakeru-san . ”
“Anyway just do it, it is possible if it’s you . ”
I pulled out the consolation prize of lottery where you can use it until exhaustion and used it . I picked Io as my target and lend her the power of my lightning .
[Lending out lightning magic power to Io Akosu, remaining time is 4 minutes 59 seconds]
A voice that is different from Eleanor appeared in my head . Io used her lightning magic and hit Orikuto directly .
“Once again, as fast as you can . ”
“Wa— okay . ” Just like what she was told, Io let out another shot of lightning consecutively . “Wha… how did…?”
“Just now, I lend you my magic power temporarily . ”
“You lent me yours? Eh eeeeeeehhhh . Is that even possible?”
“Yeah, I can . Is it something that you never heard of again?”
“That is not exactly the case but… I have heard the case where there is a forbidden technique where you can transfer your magic power in exchange for a life, but temporarily is…”
“I see, ah . Orikuto is going to start moving soon . ”
“Eeehh…! Amazing… I can even shoot a lot of lightning magic now . ”
“Rather than that, isn’t her magic power a little bit more than mine?”
(It’s because of the amplification . The original you should have a lot more than that)
“I see . ”
If I were to lend her my lightning magic itself then probably the strength of the magic would be the same . However, the one that I’m lending her right now was the amplified power so there are chances that her lightning magic strike being a lot stronger than mine .
Speaking conversely, there is no meaning in lending out her any power at all . Because the original would be 0 times 777, so the result would still be 0 .
TLN: If he were to lend her his lightning magic instead with no amplification .
In addition, there’s something on my mind,
It’s Eleanor .
In this world, there is not even one person who can defy Eleanor’s possession . In other words, in this world the amount of people that have any sort of resistance towards Eleanor is 0 . I will try it out tonight, for now I will put that thought away .
After that Tania was summoned . I pulled out another ‘use until exhaustion’ type of ball .
[Lending out Ice magic power to Tania Chi Chiakisu . Remaining time 4 minutes and 59 seconds . ]
“Tania, try and shot out an ice arrow, aim for Orikuto . ”
“U-un!”
Tania did like exactly what I had told her . Tania launched an ice arrow towards Orikuto in a flash but Orikuto also stopped in in the same fashion .
But, I was excited . Io and Tania . Magician and Maid .
Both of them had the appearance of a beautiful lady but . They are the women of my harem party whom I have bestow upon my power right now fighting against Orikuto .
This feels good .
In one week— I need to save up lottery tickets as many as I can in this one week .
