CHAPTER 48: THE SAGE’S GRATITUDE
Lottery place . Eleanor, Hikari, and I .
By the way, I thought of taking Chibi Dragon with us, but she couldn’t come . The ones who can enter here was for some reason, only Eleanor, Hikari, and me .
?I’ll go draw then, Otou-san?
Hikari who was standing in front of the lottery machine said . For some reason, there was a stepping ladder was placed so Hikari could reach it, but I did not say anything why it was there .
?Wait, Hikari?
?What???
Since she’s drawing the lot, I decided to lend her my luck just like before .
?Lend luck to Hikari?
?Luck is being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ?? seconds?
?Eh??
I heard an unexpected voice .
I thought of using the skill that can lend my abilities that I got from the limited lottery to Hikari, but I couldn’t .
It’s already been being lent, and on top of that, the remaining time has a strange noise and I couldn’t hear how long is remaining .
?What does this mean? ……to Hikari, lend strength, lend speed, lend magic powers?
?Strength is being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ?? seconds?
?Speed is being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ?? seconds?
?Magic powers are being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ?? seconds?
All of them have the same results .
I don’t remember on lending those to Hikari, and in the first place, the time remaining is bugged .
?Lend luck to Eleanor?
?Luck will be lent to Demon Sword Eleanor . Time Remaining: 29 seconds?
This time, it worked properly . The skill from the limited lottery is properly working .
Then if it’s like that……what does it mean?
?Why, does it not work with Hikari??
?Isn’t it because she’s your daughter??
Eleanor said . She was a little appalled, but if I looked carefully, with kind eyes .
?Because she’s my daughter……ah?
I thought for an instant, and understand what Eleanor was trying to say .
Because she’s my daughter, because she’s a child born from me .
Because she already has received my genes, I can’t use it twice on her .
That was Eleanor was saying .
I don’t know if it was true, but I’m convinced .
?Otou-san……what happened??
?Eh??
?Is there, something wrong with Hikari??
Hikari asked timidly . Her eyes that were looking up, they were almost crying .
It looks like I made her anxious .
Of course, there isn’t anything wrong with Hikari, it’s rather the opposite .
If the reason that Eleanor had said is true, I would rather be happy, and I would love Hikari more and more .
I bent my knees, and patted Hikari’s head .
?There’s nothing wrong with Hikari?
?Really??
?Yeah . I just found a proof that Hikari’s my daughter, so Otou-san just got happy?
?Hikari is Otou-san’s daughter you know??
She was making a face like “What are you saying?” .
?Yeah, Hikari is Otou-san’s daughter?
I patted her head more and more .
Hikari stopped making a sad face, and smiled happily .
And when I was patting her more and more……I saw that Eleanor was sulking
?What is it?
?What of??
?No, making that face, what happened??
?It’s nothing?
She said, and faced back .
No, that’s clearly the face that there’s something right .
Just like how I did with Hikari, I patted Eleanor’s head .
Her height and appearance are almost the same with Hikari, so she was easy to pat .
?Eeii, don’t treat me like a child!?
?Didn’t you want me to pat you??
?There’s no way! There’s no way that I would be happy being patted in front of my daughter by her father!!?
?U?n . Then, Hikari, pat your mother’s head?
?Un! Okaa-san……*NadeNade*?
?Mu!?
Eleanor’s body trembled, she was making a somehow making a face with a complaint, but since it was Hikari who was patting her, she couldn’t shout at her just like she did with me .
Not being able to do anything, she let Hikari pat her head .
She was making a complicated face, but she’s happy on the inside .
She’s easy to understand after all .
?Uhm……I have also told this before?
The lottery staff that was there all the time, said while looking at us with wide eyes open .
?Can you not bring with you a strange family comedy act??
?Wasn’t it a happy family circle the last time?
?That’s already pretty much a family comedy act, you know?
It was strangely hard to deny .
Because the look of the staff was bad, for the meantime, we drew the lottery .
I couldn’t lend her my luck, but even so, I made Hikari draw all of it .
The result, we gained one “Extension Block” from the free lottery, and many magic balls from the lottery that uses tickets .
?
I spread out the magic cottage at the mansion’s yard, and entered inside with Hikari .
It was really wide inside, and nothing was there .
?Where does Hikari want to make a room??
?Uhm, here?
She pointed at one wall . I took the item that we gained in the lottery there, and used it .
The simple wall that was there shined, and a door was created .
I opened the door, inside, was a small, and after all, a room where nothing’s inside .
?Wa?, a new room?
?Hikari, let’s go outside once . I’m going to make it small once and make it big again?
?Un!?
I went outside with Hikari .
I made the magic cottage small, and suddenly had an idea .
?Hikari, we’re going to move?
?To where??
?Wait a minute?
I took the magic cottage that had gotten small, and warped with Hikari .
Grasslands, we came to the grasslands where mountain cows inhabit .
I made the magic cottage larger there, and entered inside again with Hikari .
The magic cottage’s exterior hadn’t changed, but the room that was placed earlier was still there .
?Wa?, although it disappeared before, the room remained??
?Yeah, it remained?
?That’s an interesting item?
Eleanor who was hanging in my waist said .
I entered the room, opened the window, and looked outside .
It was grasslands outside . A peaceful grassland where mountain cows haven’t appeared .
?Hikari, let’s go outside once more?
?Un!?
She probably already understood, Hikari eagerly nodded, and came outside with me .
I made the magic cottage small, warped to the rocky mountains, make it big, and we entered inside once again .
I opened the window, I saw the Orycuto’s back running away .
?Ama?zing?, the house moves!?
Hikari got really excited .
We did the same thing once more, and returned to the mansion this time .
And just as expected, seeing the mansion from the magic cottage’s window, Hikari got really excited .
For I while, I got relaxed watching Hikari horse around .
?Kakeru?
I was called from outside . It was Althea wearing a hood .
When I think about it, when Althea hadn’t rejuvenated she’s always wearing a hood, so I think I haven’t seen her normal face .
While thinking of that, I went outside
?What is it?
?I took a baron for Kakeru?
?Baron? A potato huh?
?It’s a noble rank?
?Eh??
?Baron . Mercouri Kingdom would come from their side soon, so I took it from Siracuza Kingdom?
?……is it that given so lightly like a snack at the afternoon? Noble ranks??
?If it’s this woman, she can do it . If she does it seriously?
Seriously huh .
Why does she do it seriously?
When I was thinking of that, she answered by herself .
?You’re someone who has vigor that matches that of a thousand’s, it’s my gratitude from receiving that?
As expected of the Great Sage, she already knows my questions .
And I got convinced .
?I got it, I’ll receive it?
And with this, I became that Baron something .
