Chapter 22 . Entering a new faith .

    “Dammit! If I knew it going to be like this I would’ve collect even more lottery tickets before coming here!” The man said it with a frustrated looks as he exit from the lottery room .

    Collecting more lottery tickets he say… he meant that he’s going to collect more than 100 pieces .

    … . . Just what exactly will he do to collect that huge amount of lottery ticket? In the first place how exactly did he managed to collect 100 lottery tickets?

    As I thought, I’ll ask him the next time I see him again .

    “This is your lottery’s fourth prize, 50% discount card . ” The Staff pulled out a golden-colored card .

    It looked like a golden credit card . I felt a little bit weird when I feel the texture of the card .

    “If you show this card when you’re making a purchase to the seller, no matter what item it would be you will get a 50% discount . It has unlimited number of use, however it is only limited to the person who received this card in the first place . ”

    “It’s the same with the wings . Understood . ”

    I put the 50% discount card away .

    For the remaining 10 lottery draws I gave it to Eleanor, in the end what Eleanor managed to draw out were only magic balls .

    ☆

    Now that doing shopping with 50% discount has been made possible . There is one that I’d like to try . I want to know just how much shopping that I need to do before I get a lottery ticket . Previously, it was 300 silver coins for a lottery ticket .

    With 50% discount rate, I wonder if 150 silver coins would be enough for me to get one lottery ticket .

    I completely exhausted my money the last time I went to shopping, so for now I will earn 300 silver coins first .

    Why 300 silver coins? I want to know if 300 silver coins would get me 2 lottery tickets . Because if it’s doesn’t, I will not have my 150 wasted without getting any lottery ticket .

    While I was thinking about that, I who have returned to my mansion back from the lottery room was going to teleport to the grassy plain where the mountain cows are .

    “Good morning . ” Io greeted me .

    Io, with her usual magician ‘esque’ looks stood before me .

    “Morning . ”

    “Ki, are you going somewhere today?”

    “Yeah, I’m going to hunt some mountain cows, do you want to go along?”

    As I remembered that I have formed a party with Io, I asked her along .

    “Hai!” She nodded with a big smile . I see, she came here with that intention .

    “Well then let’s go . Come here . ”

    “Eh? Hai…”

    With a curious looks on Io’s face, she came closer to me . I pulled out the Warp Wings and teleported to where the mountain cows are .

    “… . . eeeeehhhhhh . ”

    As expected, she was greatly surprised .

    “Where is this place? We were at the town until a few second ago right? . ”

    “This is where the mountain cow usually make their appearance . We teleported here in a blink of an eye using magic . ”

    In reality what I use was a magic item, but I told her it was a magic anyway .

    “In a blink of an eye… That magic, I’ve never heard of a magic like that before . ”“It’s a magic that is limited to only me . ”

    “Amazing… to think that you can do such magic . ”

    “Well, the only place that I can teleport to are places that I have gone at least once . ”

    “Even so that is amazing!”

    I started looking for the mountain cow along with Io who was deeply amazed with me .

    Now that I think about it, though we had formed a party what exactly the things that we need to do?

    “Io, what are things that you are capable of?”

    “I can use offensive magic . My speciality is lightning magic . Though it would be a little bit troublesome as it will be taking quite a while to activate it . ”

    “That means it would take a while for the vanguard to withstand to protect you . Inexchange, how powerful is your lightning magic attack?”

    “The strength of the magic is in mid range, however as it is a lightning attack it can ignore the opponent defence capabilities . ”

    “In short it’s electricity . ”

    I was able to understand . Lightning magic huh, next time I’ll try receiving one of the lightning attack so that I can use it . ”

    TLN : Maso anyone?

    In this world, as long as you can survive a magic attack there are chances that you can learn the magic .

    While we were having our chit and chat, we finally found one mountain cow .

    “Yosh! For starter 100 pieces . ”

    I unsheathed Eleanor… however, the condition of the mountain cow was a little bit weird . When it laid it eyes at me, slowly it turn around and retreated .

    “… . . eh?”

    I was puzzled . It ran away?

    I immediately pull myself together and pulled out the warp wing and bring down the mountain cow .

    “Just now, what had just happened?”

    I murmured as I looked at the defeated mountain cow .

    From my experience, for them to run away; they must be from a different species variant that the normal mountain cow that I’ve hunted .

    The mountain cow that I usually hunt down would be reckless and ferocious . Though they are just a mountain cow they are indeed reckless .

    That’s why I was surprised when they ran away . While I was thinking so, Io had finally caught up .

    “Amazing, for a mountain cow to run away from human, this is the first time I’ve seen it happened . ”

    “I was surprised too . Now then, let us turn this mountain cow into money . ”

    Using the warp wing to teleport, I went to Andrew Firm along with Io and the defeated mountain cow . I handed over the mountain cow over to Andrew who becoming more and more modest when dealing with me and get myself a pouch filled with my payment .

    I exited the premise and re-grouped with Io .

    “Kakeru-sama . ”

    Now then let us go— as I was going to say that I was called out to .

    When I turned around, there was Helena .

    Helena was not wearing her royal outfit, instead she’s wearing a lightweight equipment with her long hair tied into pony tail .

    To be honest . The atmosphere around her was completely different than usual . It was a little bit disguised .

    “Helena, what’s up with that look?”

    “I really want to see Kakeru so I sneaked out from the castle . ”

    “I see… . Un . ”

    I looked at Helena intently . She looks really beautiful in her ‘Princess esque’ looks but her plain commoner looks is beautiful in its own way too .

    … . . To be frank, I was a little bit fascinated .

    “…Eh . Is it weird? This is the first time I dressed like this so I’m not really sure…”

    I took Helena’s hand who was looking down embarrassed and embrace her .

    “It doesn’t look weird at all, in fact it looks good . ”

    “Thank you very much . ”

    With Helena who was looking quite bashful in my embrace, I had become even more fascinated .

    “I’m going to go hunting in a few more minutes, do you want to come along?”

    “I would like to go together with you . ” Helena replied immediately .

    Io was speechless when me and Helena walk towards her .

    “Io? What’s wrong?”

    “Ka . . Kakeru-san . Is it possible that the person on your side… . is Helena-sama?”

    “Aa . ”

    “Do you and Helena-sama perhaps in that sort of… . ”

    “Yeah, you can say so…”

    Io was even more surprised when I answered so .

    On the other hand, Helena was being even more bashful .

    “Ohime-sama and Kakeru-san… Amazing…”

    “Yes, Kakeru-sama is really amazing . In any case he managed to subdue the cursed sword Eleanor without being possessed and his heart being swallowed . As far as I know, Kakeru-sama is the first in history . ”

    “Eh? Eleanor?” Io was sounding astonished .

    “Yeah, this fellow . ” I unsheathed Eleanor .

    (Don’t say this fellow!)

    Eleanor tell her words of objection, however I brushed it off lightly .

    “Eeeeehhh . ”

    Io said in a loud voice sounding very surprised .

    TLN: How many times are you going to be surprised?

    As she becoming the center of attention from the surrounding people, she closed her mouth hurriedly .

    “Th-that sword was E-Eleanor?”

    “Ah, you’re right . ”

    … . Eleanor, is it really that great of a sword?

    “Eleanor, it has been said in history that every time Eleanor made an appearance, it’s Undead Army would craze upon empire and lead them to destruction . ”

    The legendary cursed sword, Eleanor . It was said that whoever hold the cursed sword in their possession, their heart would be swallowed by darkness to exhaustion in exchange for power without exception .

    “It’s changed to ghost instead of Undead Army now . ”

    Using Eleanor I summoned forth Tania .

    “Hello, I am Tania Chiakisu . ”A see-through maid ghost made an appearance before the two girls in a quiet manner .

    As it was in front of people I quickly pulled her back in .

    “Kakeru-san is so amazing! You’re so strong, you even have a relationship with the princess and you can even use the cursed sword normally without being possessed by it . You’re just amazing!”

    Io said those words repeatedly . Regarding how amazing I am, I got the feeling that her words were on a verge of corruption .

    (Her amazement was almost as if she’s entering a new faith)

    Eleanor giggled in my head .

    Somehow, from the look of it, she really does seems so…

    Not that I feel bad about it though .
