My luck is bad.
Ellie used to tell that and worry.
But was it really just bad luck? Were the series of recent events I’ve experienced simply unfortunate accidents?
“That’s not it.”
It’s a matter of perspective and background knowledge.
I know. I know what Morgana becos in the future.
The motive is a mad immortal. You know, the type that’s common enough. Appearing noble but turning out to be a vile beast once you peel back a layer. It was just like that.
At first, she was a powerful and beautiful mage. But she wasn’t soone you couldn’t possibly defeat.
But even if you tear, burn, break, and lt her, she eventually returns to her original form.
Morgana gradually loses her sanity each ti, and eventually, she forgets her own form, with eyes, nose, and mouth in strange places or a different number of limbs.
In the end, she becos a monster driven by madness, only preying on the living around her instinctively.
That is the true form of Morgana that I created.
How about it? Doesn’t it resemble Shadow exactly? Rejuvenating into a younger form would be like a trace of Benny.
Yes. What I feared back then was Benny’s death.
To be more precise, I was afraid that Benny might die because of the seeds of crisis I had sowed.
Perhaps even Lydia, who went to save Benny, might be in danger, and the thought of an awakened Morgana committing slaughter in Pangrave was enough to make shudder.
Of course, I didn’t think that way from the beginning.
At the mont when I was escaping the Labyrinth, just as Benny had said, sothing happened to . I don’t rember clearly, but sothing certainly occurred.
I have no precise mory, but the dreadful emotion remains. And also the hope that it’s not too late.
Perhaps the Goddess of Love sent so kind of ssage….
In any case, after that, I began to imagine the worst-case scenarios, and although it was a bit dangerous, I’m satisfied that it could be prevented.
For , this incident was not only about Benny almost dying but also about the entire Pangrave, including Lydia, who ca to rescue her, being in danger.
“But Ellie is different.”
For Ellie, this incident would be simply about getting caught up with a crazy woman targeting Benny, almost leading to both our deaths.
So, from Ellie’s perspective, saying that I’m unlucky isn’t incorrect.
To , the re fact that I can prevent such a significant issue in advance feels like a stroke of luck.
For a mont, my head beca cluttered. Luck and misfortune. Sowhere in between. If I endure, I gain sothing greater, but if I fail, we perish together.
Isn’t this a setup I’ve heard sowhere before?
“Lucky Strike.”
I fiddled with the necklace around my neck and recited the na.
A forr elf queen, a living masterpiece of history who has lived for a thousand years.
An artifact that grants bad luck to its wearer but promises greater rewards if one can overco it.
It might not make much sense when you hear it at first, but you need to understand that it’s a nonsensical magical tool from the point where it can slightly intervene in fate.
Though she herself deed it unnecessary as she stepped down from her position as queen….
It’s certain that Eve being treated as a dark figure and simultaneously receiving fear and reverence was partly due to Lucky Strike.
The fact that she survived for a long ti while wearing it ans she managed to navigate through a tumultuous life.
To others, she must have seed like a suspicious elf with squinted eyes who made the impossible possible.
Perhaps I’m not much different from Eve back then. No, maybe I’m even worse.
Unlike Eve, whose goal was the preservation of the elf race, my goal is to eradicate the threats I’ve cast into the world.
Greater purposes co with greater trials.
However, I don’t think I’ll collapse halfway.
It’s not just because I recently defeated the formidable Morgana and got a bit cocky…but rather because of the support I felt behind .
The Goddess of Love is supporting , so I can’t fail, right???
But no matter how much of a Goddess she is, the power she can exert while confined in the Labyrinth is limited.
So, I have to roll the gacha. Only the gacha is the direct backup from the Goddess of Love, and it will help grow to et my goals.
To roll the gacha, I need money, and my pockets are empty right now, but…
“If I start earning from now, that’ll be enough.”
I’ll sell the still hefty loot even after sharing with Benny…!
Don’t worry too much, Morgana! You’ll beco my gacha and live with forever!
This is the completion of a world where no one gets hurt!
“Oh my? Jonah’s goods are excellent, but unfortunately, it’s impossible for to handle them. But, well, it’s not like there isn’t a way.”
From now on, I’m going to rip you off and bleed you dry (X)
I slipped in a dirty joke, but he didn’t catch it, right?! (O)
“Eh.”
I was montarily at a loss for words.
It wasn’t because of the usual ssed-up Eve language translator, but because I couldn’t earn money for the gacha.
That’s right. What’s there to hide?
My gacha addiction level has now reached quite a precarious point.
I haven’t properly pulled the gacha for a while, and recently, there was that big battle where my life was in danger.
It’s not because I’m a gambling addict! My body! My soul! They crave adrenaline and dopamine…!
“No, there’s a precious item here! It’s worth whatever price you call! Why won’t you buy it?!”
“Well, that’s because you’re still a minor…ahem. It’s because our shop is short on cash.”
Eve hurriedly changed the subject. Her squinted eyes curved warmly, almost like a scam artist sizing up their prey.
“Sir Jonah might overestimate since you know of my past, but in reality, I’m not that wealthy.”
I have enough power that money doesn’t matter (X)
I really don’t have any. Save (O)
“Oh, I know that well. Every ti I visit, I’ve never seen any other custors, and there’s that flashy Cradle Trading Company building next door. The items they sell are subtle… Honestly, aren’t you barely making rent?”
“…That hurts. But you’re right. In my eyes, they are certainly useful kids, but not to other adventurers. Ah, but I don’t pay rent. This place is in my na.”
“What?”
In her na? How could that be?
Of course, I’m not trying to say that it’s impossible for every citizen to own a house just because Pangrave is a red-flavored
