Chapter 59
Chapter 59
“……”
It was a hat that anyone could see was proudly proclaiming, “I am a magician and I’m very proud of it.”
Moreover, the Lemiere family crest was embroidered on top of the hat.
“What do you mean, Elizabeth? Give me back my robe!”
“This is better, I’m telling you. It not only has a warming spell, but also an attack avoidance spell, and above all…!”
I looked at him with eyes that said, “Go on, try it.”
“It has a one-time teleportation spell.”
That’s a seriously good feature.
I quickly grabbed the hat with both hands and bowed at the waist.
“Thank you. I’ll take good care of our Elizabeth.”
“Yes, be happy with Elizabeth.”
“But I’d still like to have my Victoria back.”
Isiel’s expression turned sulky.
“Victoria? What, the Humbly robe?”
“Yes.”
“…I’ll bring it next time we meet.”
The hat had many functions, but it’s a bit much to wear around normally.
In contrast, the robe was very comfortable and warm, so I had been wearing it like my school uniform.
I smiled contentedly and put the hat in my inventory.
Nice.
I got a teleportation scroll.
“What’s that? A ring?”
“It’s not a ring…”
Isiel asked, pointing at the ‘Random Skill Box’ I was fiddling with in my fingers.
“Oh my, our Irina. Did you order a ring because you want to propose to your big brother?”
I looked at Isiel with eyes that said, “Are you crazy?”, but there were three other people in this place who seemed to think the same.
Roen saying, “Wow, Lord Isiel. You were that kind of person? Don’t come near me.”
Seiren making a fuss, saying, “Are you crazy, brother? This is annoying. Who are you, mister?”
“……”
“Cassis, I’m sorry. Would you rather curse me out loud?”
“……”
And Cassis, who was cursing with his eyes and expression without saying a word.
Isiel became gloomy and politely extended his hand to me.
I hurriedly called the system.
‘Can I hand this over? It’s not going to pop out something weird, right?’
[It’s okay~]
[It’s just opening the random box for you.]
I handed one random box to Isiel.
He admired the antique-looking box, looking it over once.
“This is really high-end. Look, Cas.”
“…Indeed.”
“Can I open it?”
“It’s nothing special.”
When I nodded, Isiel opened one.
At the same time, the system chimed.
[SYSTEM | You have gained 1 point in ‘Cooking Skill’.]
[SYSTEM | Would you like to level up ‘Cooking Skill’? C+ -> B-]
I gaped at the unbelievable result.
If my memory is correct, it was said before that there was a 0.001% chance of getting a skill point or recipe from quests.
And I got it just like that.
As expected of the lucky man of this era.
“It’s divine power!”
“There’s nothing in here?”
“Divine power just scattered!”
While I was in awe, Cassis and Isiel were shaking the box all over saying there was nothing in it, and Seiren, who could see and feel divine power, was amazed.
I covered my mouth and continued to make eye contact with the system window.
[SYSTEM | Would you like to level up ‘Cooking Skill’? C+ -> B-]
‘Yes, yes, yes!’
[SYSTEM | You have selected ‘Yes’.]
As soon as I finished speaking, a white light burst in my vision.
[SYSTEM | Using 1 point to level up ‘Cooking Skill’. C+ -> B-]
[SYSTEM | ‘Cooking Skill’ has achieved B rank!]
[SYSTEM | As ‘Cooking Skill’ has reached ‘B-‘, the quest ‘Cooking Skill Training’ is now complete.]
I was moved as I read the series of system notifications.
After all the notifications and congratulations were over, when I slowly raised my head, everyone was quietly looking at me.
“Irina, are you alright?”
“Yes, I’m happy.”
I quietly pushed the remaining two ‘Random Skill Boxes’ to Isiel.
It seems this was possible because of this person’s very high luck.
“Why this?”
“Please open them.”
“O-okay.”
Isiel opened the two I had handed him one by one, not knowing why.
As he opened one with a click, the system displayed a notification as if it had been waiting.
[SYSTEM | You have gained the skill ‘Mass Production (A)’.]
[SYSTEM | You have gained the pet ‘Ice Cream Truck’.]
[SYSTEM | You can check the newly acquired skill and pet in the skill window and inventory respectively.]
I was dazed.
Not only did I get a very useful skill, and an A grade skill at that, but I also got a ‘pet’ that I didn’t even know existed.
How can this be?
‘This… is cheating!’
Why did Isiel succeed with all three ‘Random Skill Boxes’ he opened?
Why did you give me such trash while…!
Because there were eyes watching, I couldn’t make a sound, but I just shouted ‘System, come out!’ a few times in my mind.
[No, you’re misunderstanding.]
‘Why do you only love him? You said I was the only one! Give me divine power too! Give me more luck too!’
[Misunderstanding… I’m telling you it’s a misunderstanding.]
[We only have you.]
[He was just born lucky, what can we do?]
Clutching my sore stomach, I asked out of curiosity.
‘What’s Isiel’s luck stat?’
[SYSTEM | ‘Isiel Lemiere’s current luck stat is ‘23,719/99,999’.]
“……”
[Sorry, this does seem to be cheating.]
[Um… we have an older sister, she’s the goddess of luck.]
[That sister does tend to favor certain people in each dimension.]
I glared at Isiel who was innocently looking into my storage box.
“Oh, there’s a ring in here. It’s pretty.”
“……”
It was so absurd that I didn’t even feel jealous.
Rather, considering it positively, it means that a person with a lucky hand is right next to me.
Since it’s come to this, from now on, whenever I get a ‘Random Skill Box’, I should just ask Isiel to open it, right?
‘Sounds good?’
[I like this Irina.]
[That’s right.]
“A ring?”
“There’s a ring in both of them.”
Each storage box contained one ring.
One was a blue topaz, the other a bright red ruby ring, but their designs were quite different.
While the topaz was quite large, the ruby was just a tiny stone set in a white silver ring.
The box containing the ruby ring seemed to contain the ‘pet’. I received the box and looked at the ring.
‘Can I sell it? How much could I sell it for?’
[Hey!]
[No!]
“It doesn’t have much monetary value, but the setting is unique and aesthetically beautiful, so it seems good for collecting.”
Ah.
So I can’t get much even if I sell it.
Then there’s no helping it.
“It’s a keepsake from my mother.”
I punished the arrogant Isiel who was evaluating someone else’s property.
Isiel’s mouth fell open.
The shock on his face was funny.
He apologized, trembling.
“…I’m sorry.”
“Not at all. It was a lie.”
“Hey!”
“I already sold all of my mother’s keepsakes long ago.”
Isiel’s pupils started shaking again.
I tried not to sell my mom’s wedding ring, but it had a large and beautiful diamond set in it, so I had no choice but to sell it in the end.
I believe my mom in heaven will forgive me because I used that money to renovate our Seike Winery.
‘Mom! Forgive me because I’ve paid off all the debt!’
I put the two rings on my left index finger.
[That… you really shouldn’t sell those.]
‘Why?’
[Whether it’s a skill or a pet… things with ambiguous forms are set like that in the form of jewels……]
What?
“Why are you telling me this only now?”
I jumped up from my seat.
Isiel, who had been talking to himself while I was conversing with the system, looked up at me with shaking pupils.
“I’m sorry.”
He apologized to me.
I got too excited.
I sat down quietly and answered nonchalantly.
“Please be careful in the future.”
“Okay……”
[Isiel, I’m sorry.]
Pretending to listen attentively to the conversation of the other four, including Roen, I spoke to the system again.
‘System, System.’
[Yeah.]
‘What does it mean that it’s set as a jewel? So, can all other skills be taken out as jewels too?’
[Yeah!]
My heart fluttered slightly.
Doesn’t that mean I could take out the skill itself and transfer it to someone else?
[Hmm. I’m not sure about that.]
[We’ve never tried it.]
‘But it’s not impossible, right?’
[That’s right. Since we two made this system ourselves, there are quite a few bugs……]
‘Then I’ll try it myself.’
If it’s not impossible, it’s rather positive.
Conveniently, Seiren, who has been researching divine power, is right beside me.
Since I’ve ‘received(!)’ ‘Minion 3’, I think I could take them to the North if I wanted to.
‘Okay. Then let’s leave that part to Seiren later, and now I should look at the pet again.’
What on earth is a pet?
This was an element that wasn’t in the original game.
[We saw ‘mounts’ in other RPG games, so we made it.]
Wondering if it was some kind of summon, I checked the pet ‘Ice Cream Truck’ I just received in the system.
[SYSTEM | Please name your ‘Ice Cream Truck (Pet)’: |_]
I guess I have to name it too.
After thinking for a while, I came up with a name.
[SYSTEM | Please name your ‘Ice Cream Truck (Pet)’: Vroom-vroom|]
[SYSTEM | Is the name ‘Vroom-vroom’ correct for your ‘Ice Cream Truck (Pet)’?]
‘Yep.’
Of course, the system immediately went into a frenzy.
[Wait a minute!]
[Not Vroom-vroom!]
[SYSTEM | ‘Vroom-vroom (Ice Cream Truck)’ has been summoned to ‘Irina Seike’.]
[SYSTEM | The soul of ‘Vroom-vroom’ dwells in the ring.]
[Ice Cream Truck (Pet)
Name: Vroom-vroom
Age: 178 years old
‘Vroom-vroom’, an ice cream truck with alternating pink and yellow awnings, came into the world with the belief that it was the coolest pet in the world.
However, ‘Vroom-vroom’ waited alone for 178 years for an owner to call it, despairing and venting its frustration in a world where neither ‘ice cream’ nor ‘trucks’ existed.
‘Vroom-vroom’ now feels infinite affection for the owner who finally summoned it.
Having trained diligently during its not-so-short 178-year life, ‘Vroom-vroom’ can be summoned for ’24’ hours a day.
Summon time: 24/24(hr)
Attack power: 5
Defense: 10
Movement speed: 10
Flight: 10
Ride comfort: 10
(Special skill) – : –
※All pet skills are the same.
※The highest grade for each skill is ’10’.
※Special skills can be granted by the ‘owner’.]
My goodness…
What on earth is this?
