Chapter 48


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: ーー 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: ーー seconds】


【Speed is being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ーー seconds】


【Magic powers are being lent to Yuuki Hikari . Remaining Time: ーー 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 .
