I’m about to roll the gacha, but Ayane is kind of in the way.
It’s nice that she likes to be pampered by me and everything, but when she’s on my lap like this, I can’t see the cabinet very well.
Come to think of it, it might be time to tell them about Level Gacha.
I felt an alarm inside me warning me of danger that time, but I feel like it should be fine now… Let’s check.
“Ayane, Aira.”
““Yes.””
“I’m thinking it’s time to tell you my secret… Do you want to hear?”
“D-darling…! Are you sure?”
“Yes, you’re both important to me, so if there are no worries of the information leaking, I’m thinking I can do that.”
“Yes. I’m ready!”
“May I hear it as well, master?”
“Yes, I think you’re fine too…”
I peek at Ayane, and she nods.
Hm, I’m not too comfortable talking like this, but let’s give it a shot.
“And you’re already mine, right?”
“Yes, all that is mine is yours!”
Aira’s face turns red, and she looks very happy. It looks like I was right.
“Then there’s no problem.”
“Fufu, correct. Let me do some final checks before we advance.”
“Hn?”
Final checks?
Ayane then gets off my lap and raises her arms, and Aira checks her hair, equipment, and her clothes thoroughly. I feel like I shouldn’t be here when she gets into her underwear, but since I feel like I should be watching over them, I endure it.
What are they even doing?
“Ahh, done. I also checked yesterday, but there really is nothing.”
“Darling’s hot stare is a little embarrassing.”
“S-sorry… Aira, explain it in a way I understand.”
“Yes. Master, I was checking to see if anything bothersome was put on her.”
“You worry too much. I brought nothing from that house with me.”
“There was nothing dodgy in that delivery person yesterday either… I was overly worried.”
“…I know you two are wary of Ayane’s mother, but is she that untrustworthy?”
Both the branch manager and Ryuu were very careful not to let Compression reach her ears. Is she that scary?
“Few people in this world can compete with her when it comes to gathering information. Even when I was her mercenary, I could only grasp a tenth of her methods. We can never be too cautious with her.”
“I see. Well, I’ll leave that to you.”
My Intuition tells me I don’t have to be worried, but I can’t deny the possibility that it’s something I can’t see even with this amount of Luck. What I call Intuition is basically just something that alerts me of danger guided by my experience. It’s powerless against unknown phenomena, so it’s not perfect.
And since they’re doing this for me, I have no reason to stop them.
“So, is it all right?”
“Yes!”
“Thank you for waiting.”
“First, about my skill…”

Much like how I explained it to Aki and Maki, I give them a demonstration while telling them what happened after I found Level Gacha.
And this is what I get this time.
One green, two purples, six reds, and one blue.

‘20/120 remaining’
I equip the second ring, and the two girls stare at it.
“It’s a ring with a heart mark!”
“I feel like someone might look at it and misunderstand what it represents.”
“Hahaha, true.”
I have one with a lion on it too, so I wonder what will come next.
Well, it’s going to be after I suffer another status condition…
Something else then grabs my attention.
“Purple Lightning arrow… It’s definitely a bow combat skill…”
“I have never heard of it, so I assume it is a new find.”
“Combat skills were only discovered a few years ago, so they’re full of mysteries.”
“Even among mercenaries in the Houjouin family, you would be treated as one of the best if you had one. And you have two, master… I would expect no less.”
“Haha, thanks. But I got them through this skill, so it’s different from others who got them through normal means.”
Getting this skill reminds me that I completely forgot to use the bow in that fight.
When I threw that rock, it also protected itself against magic, so I think I unconsciously assumed all long range attacks were no good. I also think the fact that I’m just not used to using a bow helped reach that conclusion.
I need to use it more frequently, to gain more experience with it.
“I’ll give it a try later… Ayane, Aira, do you understand my secret?”
“Yes. Through your efforts and after going around so much, you received what is pretty much a hard to come by miracle… And they supported you from behind the scenes for three years… I can’t beat that.”
“Ayane…”
“But that is in the past. I am now a proper partner for you as well, not just Aki and Maki. I will do my best to pull my own weight.”
“Yes, it’s nice to have you, Ayane.”
This is where she would normally jump at me, but not this time.
She fidgets a little, and then approaches me slowly and gives me a kiss on the cheek. She’s so sweet, and I return it with one on her forehead.
Also, it felt like Aira had something on her mind all this time, but now it looks like she’s satisfied.
“You have been getting stronger at an incredible speed with each passing day. I assumed you had a secret skill, but I did not expect it to be so extraordinary. This is a miraculous gift, something you found after a lot of hard work. This is not something someone can just take, so I will do my best to eliminate anyone who would try to expose this secret.”
“Thanks Aira. Let’s all try to get strong enough to not let anyone take it.”
““Yes!””
I hug them, and then get up.
“Let’s go back. They might be worried about us.”
“And I’m getting hungry.”
“Fufu, what a labor intensive date.”
“Uguh.”
Yes, this is supposed to be a date…
I’ve left them alone for a long time. We should go back and take it easy for a while, not just eat.
…Would two hours be enough?

Thanks for the treat.
