Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken

CHAPTER 48: THE SAGE’S GRATITUDE

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 .
