“Use it, hoo~”

In front of the waterfall after a long time.

Kwaaa

Have you been able to build up good energy again during all the time you have had?

Watching the refreshing waterfall pour down, I feel refreshed as if my frustrated mind has been cleared.

“This feels really good.”

I don’t think I can escape from here anymore.

I don’t want to even try to draw unless it’s here.

If you stand still in front of this waterfall, you will feel as if an invisible, magical energy is gathering.

“This is it. This.”

After mentally preparing like that, before starting in earnest, I looked at a new character that I had not chosen yet.

“Hmm.”

There will come a day when I will be able to choose characters I don’t even know.

At that time, we need to create situations where we can help children in all situations.

‘I can’t do it yet, but someday I’ll be able to do it.’

Now, let’s start drawing characters seriously for the first time in a while.

I applied saliva to my dry lips and opened the store window.

It was a moment that required earnest prayer.

match!

We held our hands together.

Just like I dutifully pressed Strengthen, this one will also take quite a bit of time.

Simply peeling it was going to take a long time and cost a lot of money.

Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!

Several beautiful meteors fell in the dark early morning sky.

Almost in a trance, I turned the gacha over and over again 10 times in a row.

Even if you get bad results or good results, you don’t waver and just keep moving forward.

Beads begin to accumulate in the item window.

It quickly passes two digits and then becomes three digits.

If you combine these beads again and again, it will become a stepping stone for children to become 5-stars.

“ha…”

The moonlight soon disappeared and the dawn sun slowly rose.

I clicked the summon button while watching the moonlight disappear.

I run the last spurt in the moist and cool early morning air.

While happily looking at the beads accumulating, sometimes I am surprised when the SSR explodes, and then click my tongue several times after checking the result…

“Isn’t this bad enough?”

Finally, the raw material I had accumulated ran out.

I smiled bitterly as I checked today’s harvest and the remaining money that had dwindled away.

“Easily saved money is easily spent… I’ve already spent it all.”

Of course, it started at midnight and lasted until the sun rose, so the word “already” would not be appropriate.

When I checked the marbles that were filled to the brim, I realized that I was full even without eating.

However, I felt it was pointless as the result was not satisfactory compared to the huge amount of money I spent.

No matter how much you push with money, if you’re unlucky, you won’t get the results you want.

“I never thought there would be so many duplicates.”

Actually, it’s not that SSR hasn’t been released.

In the first place, it didn’t make sense for SSR not to come out because the units used were different.

The problem is whether the results are worth the investment.

Considering the number of SSRs in this lottery, the results are not very bad.

However, the reason we cannot be purely happy is because there are too many duplicates.

“Duplicate…duplicate…duplicate…duplicate…duplicate…duplicate….”

Perhaps this is because the number of SSRs I have picked has gradually increased.

In the beginning, there were no duplicates because there was nothing drawn, and now that quite a few SSRs have been drawn, the probability of duplicates has increased.

“I’ve chosen 11 people so far. I don’t think 11 people are that many.”

Shine, Fran, Rebecca, Ariando, Baine, Gabriel, Solar, Gaon, Peter, Masha, and Kahori.

There were still enough characters left to draw that exceeded the number drawn.

So in the end, the final result was that this lottery wasn’t very good.

‘If it were like the old days, there would be no problem because you could make it to 5 stars, but now you can make beads that can strengthen 5 stars through synthesis…’

No matter how much you think about it, duplication cannot be considered a good outcome.

Until now, it didn’t matter if there were duplicates, but now that you have bead synthesis, summoning a new character is overwhelmingly beneficial.

However, there is nothing that can be said about the duplicated SSR.

“Is it possible to synthesize it with this, so is it better than something that didn’t come out?”

It’s a situation that suits my intended purpose.

“Is this enough to get all the kids to 5 stars?”

Composition has been in progress ever since the drawing was over.

Seeing the synthetic beads for SSR piling up brings a happy smile to my face.

And 5 new SSRs released through this lottery.

As expected, the numerical units of the amount spent were different, so the SSR came out a lot.

First of all, the first SSR that came out was a male character.

[Name: Kento (SSR)]

[Grade: Class A]

[Skill: ]

[Stats: Power (B) Stamina (A) Dexterity (B) Magic (C) Charisma (B) ]

Kento is a typical swordsman character, but there was no reason to raise him just because he was inferior to Gabriel.

[Name: Hathaway (SSR)]

[Grade: Class A]

[Skill: ]

[Stats: Power (C) Stamina (C) Dexterity (A) Magic (A) Charisma (A) ]

Hathaway is an earth attribute character, and is a shapeshifting character that can create wings.

It was a good character to use in special fields because it was capable of aerial combat.

You can summon a huge barrier to trap enemies inside, but enemies inside are stunned and cannot make any attacks for 1 turn.

‘We need to nurture Hathaway too. When a special field comes up, he will play a big role.’

Of course, it is not tier 1.

However, there was a field where Hathaway could show potential similar to Tier 1, and for that to happen, Hathaway needed to grow.

Of course, if you solve that field, you are an unlucky character that will be put in storage…

‘Because this is reality.’

Unlike when they were kept in a warehouse, here, they will find their own place and play an active role as they have been raised.

In particular, I think the barrier skill is a very helpful ability in battle.

The third SSR features a character who is not a student for the first time in a long time.

[Name: Erintina (SSR)]

[Grade: S class]

[Skill: ]

[Stats: Power (B) Stamina (C) Agility (S) Magic (S) Charm (S) ]

Just by looking at it, doesn’t it look like a tier 1 character?

It is also one of the quite popular characters.

Beautiful appearance with a long and cool body.

When combined with the fact that it uses magic attacks using spirits, you will be able to immediately tell what the character is modeled after.

The remaining two SSRs are characters stuck in the deep sea, so I won’t bother mentioning them.

However, just because an SSR has poor performance does not mean that it is completely useless.

‘Even if you don’t raise them, you can sell unique equipment to the SSRs you picked.’

Already, I thought of the money they would bring and smiled happily.

Just like the savings I had buried in my bank account, they will also bring me a lump sum of money.

And in order to save money, there was one thing I had to do.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“My writing is completely ruined!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Aww, Ariane too. You were surprised.”

“I’m going to ruin it! I’m going to waste it!”

“So you should have studied when the teacher told you to study.”

“Don’t comfort him. He’s the one who says he got three things wrong.”

“…Are you good at studying, Arianne?”

“It’s a duke’s family, so how old are you?”

Handwriting was already taught in advance before entering the academy.

Most noble families do that.

This is because I know that although practical skills are important, there is a strong tendency for grades to be determined by written examination.

“I’m so stressed out. I need to eat something sweet.”

“Something sweet? I want to eat it too.”

Due to exam stress, girls especially craved sweet things.

“It’s almost over now. Just wait a little longer.”

“Okay, now all that’s left is practical skills.”

The written exam has been completed, and now all that’s left is the practical test.

It was as if the students in this class had been given time to go on a rampage in earnest.

“There’s no need to stress out and prepare for practical skills.”

“Yep.”

The girls, who are not confident that they will fail the practical test, smile leisurely.

“Anyway, what are you all going to do after the exam?”

I needed to think about my schedule after finishing the exam.

“Let’s go have fun!”

“That’s right! Of course we should go have fun!”

Everyone’s eyes sparkled as they said they were going to have fun together.

“What are you going to play?”

Even after the exam was over, classes at the academy continued, so I couldn’t go far away.

“Let’s ask the boss first. Let’s go together.”

“Hmm? Uncle?”

“????”

The kids were startled by Ariando’s embarrassing declaration.

However, Ariando insisted that the boss must be taken with him.

“How about going to a nearby valley for three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday?”

“The valley is nice.”

“It’s small, but there’s a waterfall. It’s an hour away from here, and there’s a villa. If I tell you, they’ll prepare it so we can go play. It’s private property, so no one else will come in, so it’s perfect for us to play by ourselves.”

“No, but what do you mean by calling uncle?”

“Do you not want the boss to come?”

“I don’t hate it, but…”

“I think it would be good if you came. You’re good at cooking.”

Baine’s words reminded everyone of the cooking the man cooked and they swallowed their saliva.

“Even if you say no, I will definitely take you.”

Ariando’s eyes flashed dangerously.

“Have you ever…”

Shine looked at Ariando with concern and asked carefully.

In fact, Fran was also looking at Ariando with suspicion.

“Do you have any other feelings for your uncle?”

Otherwise, I couldn’t explain why I was trying to take a man I knew on a trip.

“I’m wary of saying this to my friend, but the second one is me.”

While Fran was making a bold appeal for his position, Ariando suddenly stood up and spoke.

“That’s not it! You can strengthen yourself only if you take him with you!”

“ah!”

“Wow, such a deep meaning..!?”

It was like that.

The reason why Ariando tried to take the president to the villa.

It was because of reinforcement.

“I’m going to ask the boss to monopolize it for three days and strengthen it.”

“With that guy’s personality, would you keep it quiet? I don’t think he’ll bother you later.”

“If I ask, won’t you do it?”

“Hmm…sure, he always does it when we ask him to.”

If you say you’re hungry, I’ll feed you, get you good items to sell, and use the ability to strengthen the items you sold to make them even better.

“When I think about it, you’ve done a lot for us.”

“Actually, we haven’t done anything for the boss.”

Of course I had to give money.

But isn’t the help he gave us worth paying for with just a few pennies?

“Suddenly my conscience pricks me hard. Is it just me?”

“so do i.”

“You are also my lifesaver.”

“No, how did he happen to be a lifesaver?”

Especially when Fran’s words are added, the atmosphere suddenly becomes solemn.

“…I guess it’s too much to ask you to do it all day, right? I guess I’ll just have to hold on to it for a few hours.”

Ariando also seemed to be reflecting in his own way.

“It’s already come to this, so let’s invite him and make him happy! How about it?”

“great!”

“okay!”

“But isn’t it okay to ask him to cook you something delicious?”

“No, before that, do you think the boss will agree to go? I think I’ll have to persuade him first.”

All the children became depressed.

I needed to persuade him, but I wasn’t confident that I would succeed.
