Chapter Index

    “????”

    “???”

    Several pretty beads were placed in front of Hash and Neirel.

    “The beads are pretty, but why are you giving me these?”

    Of course, the two children did not know the identity of the marbles, and readily held one in each hand.

    I was curious about how the beads would react to them, so I watched their reaction, hoping to see if some light would come out.

    but.

    “???”

    “???”

    The beads still in the children’s hands did not move and did not produce any light.

    There was no reaction, completely different from when it was touched by a leading student who was in grade R.

    “Ah…is that still not possible?”

    Was it too big a wish?

    “What the hell is it?”

    “Ah, is this going to be frustrating?”

    Narrell and Hash were frustrated, so they had no choice but to say it.

    “This is a rather special bead.”

    “What’s special?”

    “If a person with a certain wavelength touches this bead, they become stronger.”

    “????”

    Hash and Narrell seemed to think I was playing a bad prank.

    “It’s not fun at all, man.”

    “How can I become stronger with this! “Nothing is happening at all.”

    “Umm… You guys can see it too, right? It would be truly amazing if anyone could use these beads. “It’s true that this is blocked for balance purposes…”

    I couldn’t help but feel sad when I tried to take the easy route and saw that the road was completely blocked.

    “It’s too bad. Give it back.”

    “Huh? Wait!”

    When I tried to retrieve the marble, Hash held it tightly and wouldn’t let go.

    “Really? “I’m not kidding, is there really someone who gets stronger when they touch this?”

    “Hash. You can’t do this….”

    Nayrel tried to stop Hash, perhaps because he thought his behavior was rude.

    “Why am I playing pranks on you? And there’s no use in having it. “I already confirmed there was no reaction.”

    “Isn’t one thing okay? “I heard it was originally meant to be given to us.”

    “What are you trying to do by taking this?”

    “I have to find out! Some people can do it, but why can’t I? Just ding! How can you give up after trying something and thinking it doesn’t work? never.”

    “I get scolded if I use it too much…”

    The reason the beads don’t work is because they are not the characters I summoned.

    So there is no need to take the marble and examine it.

    However, the children who did not know the circumstances expressed their desire to take the beads.

    “Well, that’s fine. I think it would be a futile effort. How do I investigate that? “Send it to your family?”

    I don’t know what kind of family they are, but they have connections among nobles, so I’m sure they’ll do some research.

    However, since I had never had anyone examine an object created with my abilities, it was not easy to decide whether to stop them from taking the beads or not.

    “It’s not! “If I send it to my family, I’ll be in big trouble!”

    “That’s right! That’s bad.”

    “Even if it doesn’t work now, if I keep holding on to it, it might work, so I tried to keep it.”

    Hash seemed to think that I was concerned about losing the bead-making method.

    If you send it to your family, there is a high probability that it will actually happen.

    But it didn’t matter even if those beads ended up in their house.

    ‘There’s no way you could make that artificially. Even if it looks like a bead, it’s only for one person.’

    Even if it wasn’t a duplicate, the person itself would be summoned.

    Can a person artificially create something that has the word “soul” in it?

    “Actually, I don’t mind if you take it to the family. I don’t think you can copy it by researching it.”

    Hash widened his eyes at my words.

    “Really? If this really makes us stronger like you said, then it’s a huge deal?”

    When it comes to becoming stronger, nobles tend to use any means possible.

    “I might just take this and do all sorts of things to break it and make the same thing.”

    “I said it doesn’t matter.”

    I will be happy if this is commercialized.

    I wish it would find a use in that way instead of it just rotting away useless in the item window.

    “You’re a really good person.”

    Neirel nodded in agreement with Hash’s words.

    Well, this is why people live for a long time.

    I get told that I, like no one else, am good.

    Until this age, I have never heard of anyone being nice.

    When I come here, it seems like there are people who think of me as a pushover.

    It was an unintentional and extremely embarrassing misunderstanding.

    I just did it because I couldn’t bear to see the world I was reincarnated in fall into ruin.

    It’s not that I didn’t receive compensation for selling the unique equipment, and it’s not that I poured money into the academy purely because I wanted to sponsor the children.

    “I’m kind of nice. So, you guys be nice to me.”

    The kids naturally misunderstand me as a good person, so I don’t think there’s any need to deny that I’m not a good person.

    I proudly told him that I was a good guy.

    “You always say hello.”

    “Are you good at greeting people?”

    “I greeted you very politely! Anyway, can I really take this?”

    “Hashii…”

    No matter what Narrell said, it wasn’t reaching Hash’s ears right now.

    “Okay. I’ll lend you it for a week, so you can do whatever you want.”

    “Oops!”

    “Ugh..! I got permission.”

    “You take one too.”

    “Me too?”

    “If I just give you this, you won’t be disappointed?”

    “…thank you.”

    Narrell timidly lowers his head.

    Hash was fiddling with the beads with his blazing eyes.

    Hash’s obsession with beads was much greater than I expected. A week later, I was able to hear a detailed explanation of the situation through what Neirell said while sighing.

    ⁂ ⁂ ⁂

    “Hello, uncle.”

    “OK.”

    Narrell timidly greeted Hash from slightly behind today as well.

    Hash’s lips were protruding by about 3cm.

    It looks like they failed to uncover the secret of the bead.

    “How was it?”

    “Cheet! I couldn’t reveal it.”

    “Look, it won’t be of any use.”

    “Mister, uncle. But is it really true that it was thanks to this bead that senior Yui became stronger?”

    Jammin’s guys had gotten more information than they expected in the past week.

    “What, how did you know that?”

    “Ahhhh!! Why can’t I do that!!!”

    Hash, which did not receive the selection(?) of the beads, begins to jingle.

    Nayrel, who was calm at least, explained the situation on behalf of the rampaging Hash.

    “Senior Yui came to visit us. He asked if you knew him.”

    “Ah, that’s what he told me.”

    “Yes. My senior said that his skills have improved tremendously thanks to you. I knew right away that we were talking about marbles.”

    “So he’s going on a rampage?”

    “Yes. There are many people within the academy who are trying to find Yui-senior because of his incident.”

    At that time, I was embarrassed by the news of the sudden awakening, so I couldn’t deal with it properly and broke up.

    Yui, an R-class character, must have been embarrassed by me disappearing after strengthening her with a bead.

    “I wanted to thank you and give you a reward, but I didn’t think I should mention this place casually.”

    “It’s amazing.”

    “Hehe. But the hash failed. I tried everything to use the beads, but it didn’t work.”

    “Everything failed, right?”

    “Yes. There was no change.”

    It is clear that the orb only applies to the character I summoned.

    It’s unfortunate, but what can you do?

    Actually, I am not able to improve my skills with beads.

    At that time, Hash spoke crookedly like a delinquent bully.

    “Mister, do you have any other beads? This may be the only thing that doesn’t suit me.”

    “All the other marbles will be the same. Just give up.”

    “Mr. Lee! Where is this? Some people get stronger and others don’t! It’s completely unfair.”

    Hash, who had been fussing for a while, hesitated with lingering eyes, and then, as if he had no choice, he placed the bead on my hand.

    No matter how much I touched the beads, it seemed like they were shiny and shiny.

    It seems that the beads were collected at the warm temperature of the beads and carried around like a chicken with eggs.

    My guess soon turned out to be true.

    Narrell testified that Hash carried the bead with him 24 hours a day.

    “I held it tightly in my arms even during class. I didn’t leave the beads behind even when I was sleeping or going to the bathroom.”

    “Ah…I need a bathroom.”

    I was obsessed to the point of being very serious, but the beads did not change in proportion to my affection.

    Seeing Hash and Narrell’s eyes dripping with regret made me feel like a scoundrel for taking this away.

    ‘Ac, should I just give you one? It’s not even that precious.’

    The items that overflow in the item window are R-grade beads.

    “That’s it. Take it back. Keep it as a souvenir.”

    “!!!”

    “Uncle! You don’t have to do that. This is very important.”

    “Isn’t it important? Who would buy a defective product like this that is designed to help people grow? It’s not a matter of luck or failure.”

    In addition, the orb containing Yui’s soul was useless because it had already been strengthened to 5 stars.

    ‘Features may be added later when achievements are achieved, but at least for now it’s useless.’

    There are a lot of things to do with gacha in the future.

    So, you can give Yui’s soul bead, which is an R grade, as a gift to Jammin, who you know.

    However, if there is something that bothers you…

    ‘They say that bead is a soul….’

    I said it thinking that he wouldn’t break what I gave him as a gift.

    “Why don’t you break it instead? Don’t throw it on the floor when you get angry.”

    “Yes! Aaaah! You’re the best!!”

    “Ack! It’s heavy, man!!”

    “Aaaah! Aaaaah! Aaah!”

    “Ears! Fall off your ears. This!!”

    As much as he hated having to give the marble back, when I told him I was giving it to him as a gift, he clung to my back and cheered.

    This little guy was also an awakened person, and his jumping ability was ridiculously higher than that of an adult man.

    Narrell tried to dissuade Hash as he fidgeted underneath him, but it was impossible to stop the guy who was so excited.

    Hash, who had been happy for a while when he realized that the marble he was obsessed with was now his, fell away.

    I quickly sat down on the chair with unsteady steps.

    “it’s tough.”

    It is right to leave childcare to professionals.

    “Thank you, uncle.”

    At that time, Narrell thanked me in a low voice and took out a bead from his arms and held it out.

    “I’m fine, so you can take it back.”

    “Do you think beads are not a good gift?”

    “No! I think I caused enough trouble just by giving it to Hash.”

    At first, I thought he was just a shy kid who still said what he had to say, but looking back, I thought he was quite an adult.

    Still, the little boy was looking at the marble presented to me with eyes full of regret.

    “It’s okay, man. I’m like an old guy, so I tried not to say things like this, but when an adult gives me something, I just say thank you and take it.”

    He placed the bead he held out back into Narrell’s hand.

    Although he didn’t react as happily as Hash, Nayrel enjoyed the joy of obtaining the orb in his own way.
