Chapter 48


    <strong>CHAPTER 48: THE SAGE’S GRATITUDE</strong>


    Lottery ce . Eleanor, Hikari, and I .


    By the way, I thought of taking Chibi Dragon with us, but she couldn’te . 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 steppingdder was ced 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 ce, 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 aint, 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 aplicated 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 familyedy act?」


    「Wasn’t it a happy family circle thest time」


    「That’s already pretty much a familyedy 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 .


    Grasnds, we came to the grasnds where mountain cows inhabit .


    I made the magic cottagerger there, and entered inside again with Hikari .


    The magic cottage’s exterior hadn’t changed, but the room that was ced 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 grasnds outside . A peaceful grasnd 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 rxed 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 woulde 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 .
