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 .
