You an you're giving a reward because I found what you had arranged?
This reminds of the gas I used to play. There were so many of these hidden conditions, and finding them was a fun challenge.
Thanks to taking another sigh, I managed to regain so of my energy, got up, and checked the blue screen.
[The necklace that once held a miracle now gains a new function!]
The necklace that once held a miracle—this must be the one I’m wearing now, right?
I recalled the miraculous scene where the voice of the dead echoed and took a deep breath to calm myself before focusing on the necklace.
[The Necklace with the Trace of a Miracle]
[A necklace that once held a miracle. Now powerless, it still carries the lingering trace of the miracle inside.]
[Effect: The party’s roster can now include one more mber.]
...Wait, what? Is my vision failing ? Am I seeing things because I’m not fully recovered yet?
I splashed so cold water on my face and opened my eyes again, only to be t with the sa ssage. I was startled and tried to get up, only to collapse forward.
Living as a frail noblewoman is really hard. A slight emotional reaction and I imdiately get dizzy.
‘Can you just pretend you didn’t see that?’
Hearing Grandpa's words, I reluctantly raised my head, only to see the Fox Spirit’s annoying grin. I buried my face in the pillow again as the mory of that smile gave chills.
I tried to forget it, but I couldn’t help but think about it. Instead, I focused on sothing else—thinking about my reward.
The extra party slot? It’s definitely related to dungeons.
Originally, only four people could enter a dungeon, but now one more person can join. That’s crazy. Of all the rewards I’ve gotten so far, this one is definitely over the top.
This is an absurdly powerful function, even more so than my sugaki skill!
If this existed in the ga, speedruns would have broken records left and right! Just thinking about the combinations I could use with this ability makes excited. So many possibilities, so many strategies!
Argh, seriously! Why didn’t they add this when I was playing the ga?! Why now?
With my reputation, how could I form these combinations right away?!
If only they’d added this as a DLC! I could’ve enjoyed the ga so much more!
I grumbled, kicking my feet, but the smile never left my face.
There’s still so much I could do with this.
Even for leveling grind, this feature is going to be super useful. Now, I can bring all my friends into dungeons with . No need to worry about being left behind!
It’s a pity that Fayvie, who’s staying in the Holy Land of the God of Light, can’t join right now, but it’s okay. Once the second year of the Academy starts, there will be plenty of ti for dungeon crawling. I’ll bring her in then.
With a grin, I lowered the blue screen only to find another ssage.
[Successfully followed the miracle!]
[Holy proficiency greatly increased!]
[Understanding of the holy greatly increased!]
The word "greatly" stood out, indicating there was sothing huge happening, but in my current state, I couldn’t feel the change yet.
I had recently exhausted my holy power until I collapsed, so I was now physically frail. Until I replenished my holy energy and recovered, I wouldn't be able to test anything...
Wait, what’s this? Why is my holy energy already this restored? This is way faster than usual.
Even though I’ve grown a lot, recovering this much in a day doesn’t make sense, does it?
‘Grandpa, can you check my holy energy now?’
The shock in Grandpa’s voice ant I wasn’t imagining things. Could this be a change from the growth of my holy power?
Feeling the holy energy I had restored, I realized it was moving much more fluidly than before.
I had always been able to control it to so degree, but it felt clunkier back then, didn’t it?
Now, it’s different. My holy energy flows like water, responding to my will.
If the increase in proficiency is this noticeable, then how much more will the increased understanding of the holy affect ?
With a beating heart, I realized that the best way to verify this was by thinking of sothing related to divine magic.
The most difficult skill I know is Armandi’s rcy.
I’ve been using it, but I don’t understand the chanics behind it.
I’ve learned a lot about divine magic and beco skilled in it, but...
Could it be different now? With my understanding of the holy greatly increased, will I be able to finally understand it?
"...Wow."
As I faced the miracle contained in Armandi’s rcy, my eyes widened.
I didn’t understand everything inside it, but one thing was clear—the miracle Armandi bestows is incredibly beautiful.
Once I finished my short analysis, I returned to reality and, following my instincts, moved my holy energy.
And then, sothing incredible happened.
I felt vitality return to my body, which had been so sluggish just monts ago. I had finally succeeded in removing the state of exhaustion that had been torturing .
‘I removed my exhaustion.’
‘Grandpa, Grandpa!’
‘Is that how you ask for sothing?'
‘Well, I removed my exhaustion, Grandpa! I did it! I actually did it!’
With a laugh, I continued explaining to Grandpa, feeling a sudden thought pop into my mind.
If I’ve grown this much now, could I land a blow on Benedict?
The day after Lucy’s mother’s morial passed.
The air in the Alrn mansion was heavy and still.
The reason was simple. Everyone in the mansion had witnessed Lucy being carried back by Benedict.
The child, who had always acted arrogantly and feigned strength, had collapsed, shedding tears of sorrow. Even those who harbored ill feelings toward Lucy couldn’t help but feel pity for her in that mont. Her condition was so pitiful that even those who disliked her couldn’t help but sympathize.
The feelings of those who usually thought highly of Lucy need no further explanation.
“...I never thought I’d end up thinking it would have been better if I just rolled away and died.”
The commander of the Knights, Forthsell, had declared a training halt, saying he couldn’t disturb the lady’s sorrow with noise, and as a result, Arthur, who had been fidgeting with so snacks, eventually put them down on the plate.
The image of Lucy breaking down in sorrow kept playing over in his mind, and it completely ruined his appetite.
“Yeah. When I think of Lady Lucy, my chest tightens. I think it’d be better to not think at all. It’s even harder when you try.”
It was the sa for Joy.
Lucy, who had collapsed in Benedict’s arms, still sobbing, had created a huge ripple in Joy’s heart, a ripple that hadn’t gone away yet.
Now, all Joy could think about was her concern for Lucy.
“...Will Lucy be okay?”
Even Frey, who was usually indifferent, couldn’t remain calm this ti.
For her, seeing soone so important to her fall apart like that brought a sense of lancholy that she had never felt before.
Ever since she had seen Lucy the previous day, Frey had lost her will to do anything and couldn’t bring herself to focus on anything.
Jackal, who had relatively little connection to Lucy compared to the others, wasn’t unaffected, but he kept his silence. He understood their sorrow to so extent and chose not to speak, waiting for them to overco their lancholy on their own.
It was during this ti that the sound of footsteps on the stairs echoed from afar, and before long, the door swung open with a loud bang.
“What are you idiots doing here? Were you having a discussion about how pathetic you all are?”
The girl who had cried over losing her mother. The poor girl who couldn’t stop sobbing even after fainting. The strong girl who, despite deep emotional wounds, tried to appear strong.
Lucy Alrn, seeing the heavy atmosphere in the sitting room, sneered and made a sarcastic remark, but the reactions from everyone were different than usual.
