Special draw .
I hold 10 lottery tickets as I leave Saramas Trading .
I bought the land around the mansion, which cost about 3 000 silver, and left all the troublesome stuff for Saramas to handle . Using the 50% off coupon, I managed to haggle down the price to 1500 and in the end, I bought the land for 1500 silver . After I did that, what came out were precisely these lottery tickets that are now in my possession .
Even if I use the 50 percent discount, the things that I buy still count as the same price for the lottery tickets .
TLN: Which means, even though the land was 3 000 silvers became 1500 after he used the discount ticket, the lottery still considered the purchase made as 3 000 as per the original price that was count .
I assume, out of all the cliché patterns, this pattern is the best one . Up until now, it would take about 300 silver for me to acquire 1 lottery ticket, but with this discount coupon, I was able to acquire 1 lottery ticket using only 150 silver .
With this rhythm, I can draw a lot more at the lottery machine, I will keep on saving up the tickets and draw a bunch of times . Rather than that, let’s draw some lottery!
Holding 10 lottery tickets firmly, I thought about that lottery room . With one step, the scenery before me had changed, it has become the lottery room .
“Ohh, somehow this place looks a little bit different from before . ” Eleanor who had turned into a loli and somehow got herself sitting on top of my shoulder said .
Just like what Eleanor had said, this lottery room looked a little bit different .
Be it the interior design, or the staff that I was familiar with, for some reason they have this [Congratulations] sort of atmosphere around them .
“Welcome dear customer . ”
“What going on with all these?”
“From now on a special draw has begun . ”
“Special draw?”
TLN: The original text would be limited time draw . But I changed it to special draw as that is what we usually call it . Or if you prefer it to be limited-time draw do tell me .
E/N: I think limited time draw might be better . Or special addition .
“Yes, from now on– which last for one week . The prizes for the lottery this time are made of a special line up . These prizes are only obtainable during this special draw week, so please do draw the lottery to your heart content . ”
“Special draw, why is there such thing?”
“Dear customer, are you aware of the Mercury Kingdom?”
“Aa . ”
How can I not know it, just by the name it’s the country of Helena-hime and Iris-hime .
“You see . Right now in Mercury Kingdom they are issuing paper bills replacing the coins . This is one big event, thus we would like to try and follow them by holding a special draw event . ”
“That’s the reason huh . But is there any connection between this and that?”
“When the wind blows the market makes a profit . ”
“So it’s like how the ramen shop make an event after the valentine day?”
TLN: Which means, they are going with the flow of event to rake in some profit,
That was what I thought . Even though there is no connection between the two, they still celebrate it, indeed it’s very merchant like .
Aside from that, I looked at the list of prizes for the special draw .
Consolation Prize – Lending out power (50%, until exhaustion)
Third Prize – Lending out power (30 seconds)
Second Prize – Lending out power (3 minutes)
First Prize – Lending out power (1 hour)
All of the prizes are the same . Ah, it must have been done in urgency so that’s why the lineup was looking so uninspired .
“I shall explain the prizes . The powers that are mention here would be the power of yourself dearest customer . It will be a skill that lets you lend your power to the person that you want to . For example, the person who was here with you before . If he were to use this skill, he could lend the tentacle power that he has to other people . ”
I see .
“But for your case dearest customer, it would be a little different . A person with all out strength xxx times, you can lend out the power amplification multiplier to a designated power that you want . The one that you lend would be the power that you originally had . ”
TLN: Doesn’t make any sense? It means that since he got the 777 overall strength power up, he can use any amount of amplification to amplify the power/person strength that he wants .
“So you meant to say, I can lend out the power amplification multiplier that I have?”
“That is exactly how it goes . ”
I see, it sounds kind of amazing .
For example, If I were to lend Io my amplification power on her lightning magic, she can keep Orikuto busy for a longer period of time . More like, even though I have [777 overall strength power up] it’s not like I exert all of my strength all of the time .
Like the time when I was fighting against Eleanor, I’ve only been using XXX amount of strength just to fool around . To lend out that sort of power… . Hmm, if I can lend out my power to my woman that would be good .
I looked at the prize list once again . Although the power itself is omitted, I wonder if it would work properly .
“Above the third prize, I can use the skill no matter how many times I want right?”
“Certainly . In exchange, the effects are quite short . ”
“The first prize is really the first prize . The time given is outstanding and you can use it however you want, the skill won’t be used up . ”
“By the way, by any chance you were to get the third prize twice . You can lend out your power twice to the same person, or lend it into two different people, simultaneously . ”
“So it’s better for me to lend out the power when the time duration is almost finished, right?”
The first prize would of course would be a great win if I were to get it, if I were to win the third prize for 10 times . That would be delicious too .
Fire, Ice and lightning—n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“I will learn various types of magic from now on but, it would mean me being split into 10 and getting hammered by various magic spells at once””
Looks like I have to devote myself in learning it then .
Um… Delicious .
“What is the expiry date for the ‘use it until exhaustion’?”
For this type . In games there are a lot of items that have a limited time usage . For confirmation, I asked about it anyway .
“There is none . ”
“It has become an even more delicious prize . ”
“It’s a prize for the special draw after all . ”
Even though it’s a prize that was brought up nonchalantly .
… . No, maybe it was not nonchalant after all .
Well then, with that said it can’t be helped for me to draw the lotteries .
“Well then, for the mean time here 10 lottery tickets . ”
“Hai, certainly I have received 10 lottery tickets . Now then you can draw the lottery 11 times . ”
“Let me do it . ” (Eleanor)
“Sure thing . ”
Eleanor goes down from my shoulder . Just like before I put both of my hands on her arm pit and lifted her up like a kid, and align her height with the lottery machine lever .
“Se-no!”
TLN: Like you usually hear in anime… similar to One, two . . Or here goes…
*garagaragaragaragara*
“Aah! You…in one go???!!!”
“Ahahahahaha . ”
Eleanor spun then lottery machine in one go as she let out series of big laugh .
The balls come out one after another . In a blink of an eye, 11 spinning chances, my 1 500 was used up just like that . The time taken for all my chances to be used up didn’t even reach 10 seconds . I wonder if this is what they mean by scrambling .
“Okay, 10 consolation prizes and… Congratulation . You got a third prize . ”
“I did it . ” (Eleanor)
E/N: I imagine her with a “umu” kind of face .
“That one prize makes up for the other ten consolation prizes . ”
***
I brought Io along with me to the rocky mountain .
“Hello, are we going to harvest some Orikudite?”
“That would be my second motive, today I got an experiment that I’d like to try out . ”
“Experiment?”
“If Orikuto comes out, I need you to hold off Orikuto for me . ”
“Haa . ”
“Fire out your lightning spell as much as you can . ”
“But, my magic power is—,”
“Oh, it appeared quite quick . ”
“Eh… ehhh!!!” Io was surprised .
“Ka, Kakeru-san . ”
“Anyway just do it, it is possible if it’s you . ”
I pulled out the consolation prize of lottery where you can use it until exhaustion and used it . I picked Io as my target and lend her the power of my lightning .
[Lending out lightning magic power to Io Akosu, remaining time is 4 minutes 59 seconds]
A voice that is different from Eleanor appeared in my head . Io used her lightning magic and hit Orikuto directly .
“Once again, as fast as you can . ”
“Wa— okay . ” Just like what she was told, Io let out another shot of lightning consecutively . “Wha… how did…?”
“Just now, I lend you my magic power temporarily . ”
“You lent me yours? Eh eeeeeeehhhh . Is that even possible?”
“Yeah, I can . Is it something that you never heard of again?”
“That is not exactly the case but… I have heard the case where there is a forbidden technique where you can transfer your magic power in exchange for a life, but temporarily is…”
“I see, ah . Orikuto is going to start moving soon . ”
“Eeehh…! Amazing… I can even shoot a lot of lightning magic now . ”
“Rather than that, isn’t her magic power a little bit more than mine?”
(It’s because of the amplification . The original you should have a lot more than that)
“I see . ”
If I were to lend her my lightning magic itself then probably the strength of the magic would be the same . However, the one that I’m lending her right now was the amplified power so there are chances that her lightning magic strike being a lot stronger than mine .
Speaking conversely, there is no meaning in lending out her any power at all . Because the original would be 0 times 777, so the result would still be 0 .
TLN: If he were to lend her his lightning magic instead with no amplification .
In addition, there’s something on my mind,
It’s Eleanor .
In this world, there is not even one person who can defy Eleanor’s possession . In other words, in this world the amount of people that have any sort of resistance towards Eleanor is 0 . I will try it out tonight, for now I will put that thought away .
After that Tania was summoned . I pulled out another ‘use until exhaustion’ type of ball .
[Lending out Ice magic power to Tania Chi Chiakisu . Remaining time 4 minutes and 59 seconds . ]
“Tania, try and shot out an ice arrow, aim for Orikuto . ”
“U-un!”
Tania did like exactly what I had told her . Tania launched an ice arrow towards Orikuto in a flash but Orikuto also stopped in in the same fashion .
But, I was excited . Io and Tania . Magician and Maid .
Both of them had the appearance of a beautiful lady but . They are the women of my harem party whom I have bestow upon my power right now fighting against Orikuto .
This feels good .
In one week— I need to save up lottery tickets as many as I can in this one week .
