Chapter 29.1. Let’s Change The Future Of Tragedy

Let’s spoil the story of this series of events. Well, it was a simple event.

The Crown of Clay awakens when you put in an incredible amount of mana and turn it into a divine weapon [Aegis Crown]. It is one of the Sacred Artifacts that sealed the Demon God Ashtaroth.

In other words, it is one of the important items in the novel. It was good that I could get one of them as soon as possible.

These Sacred Artifacts. In both the anime and the video game, the master of a gang of thieves in a slum had it. I don’t know about the novel, but it’s probably the same. It was an event around the middle of the book, so it must have been before volume 10.

I don’t know about the novel version, but in both the game and the anime, the [Nidhogg] executives show up to take The Crown of Clay. The thieves are all killed, and the enemies who have returned to the true form of the crown of clods [Aegis Crown] use the power of the sacred treasure to fight the protagonist.

Eh, the name of the enemy executive?

I don’t remember anything like that.

The hero manages to defeat him, but in the end, the [Aegis Crown] gets stolen by the mastermind that suddenly appeared, and escapes. The protagonist, exhausted from the battle with the executives, misses out on it.

The same thing happens in the game. Even if the player defeats the mastermind in two turns, the hero is exhausted, the crown gets stolen, and the mastermind escapes. Hey, what did you guys do? My played character’s stamina and MP are still full. Even if I wanted to chase after him, the hero and his gang would ignore me.

Why do the thieves have the Crown of Clay? In the anime and the game, it existed as one of the stolen items. There was no background.

So, I was thinking. Why did the bandits have it? Maybe today was the turning point? The Aburages did not give the Crown of Clay to [Yggdrasil]. Therefore, they were all killed by [Yggdrasil] who tried to take it from them. But they were unable to recover the crown. It’s a classic template.

That is the future. One of the alternate future. Maybe the Aburages were all killed. I’m not sure why the magic tools went to the bandits, but it’s called novel opportunism.

I acted to prevent the robbery that would have killed the Aburages. I only gave the [Yggdrasil] a fake crown. That’s all.

But not just any fake. It was a fake using the power of the game. The crown’s special ability before awakening is the same, as is the fact that it glows like a shiny toy transformation belt as if it is about to awaken at any moment. I want the enemy executives to dream they will transform themselves into tokusatsu heroes.

It is impossible to spot the difference. Even in the game, the enemy didn’t see through it and brought it back. And it didn’t get noticed until I cleared the hidden route.

The game version has a secret route. In the game, the player collects Sacred Artifacts sealed by a demon that the enemy is supposed to obtain. If we collect all, we can completely revive the Demon God Ashtaroth. It is impossible to do so by ordinary means. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The way to get the crown is simple. Before [Nidhogg] attacked the bandits, we secretly exchanged the crown for a fake one. I used the fake item I made during the exchange.

Someone can praise me for that. It’s a genius idea.

There are five more Sacred Artifacts left. I have all artifacts’ fake recipes, so let’s trade them when I get stronger. It would be a problem if the location is different from the game like this time, but there are 6 years left until the original work starts. Let’s be optimistic that things will work out.

The reward this time was good. The performance of the [Aegis Crown] is good. It takes quite a lot of MP to awaken it, but once my level goes up, it should be no problem.

I’ll leave the [Magic Mitigation Potion] in the item box. I have never seen this item in the game. I hope I can use it for something, but I will leave it as it is. Well, it is common in games we get garbage items as event rewards.

So, my sleepover at Tamamo’s house ended with a good result.

So, I am now in the living room of my house, facing my parents with a difficult face.

I can tell by the air that they are not angry with me. It’s pretty heavy. When they tell me they’re getting a divorce, I, as a child, plan to be a cuss guy, but they don’t seem to have it in the works.

“Mii-chan. I want to talk to you. It’s an important one.”

“An important talk?”

I asked, trying to look innocent as my dad opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“That’s right. Mii-chan, there are very few recovery magicians.”

Wow, there are hardly any recovery wizards? Just as I expected. How many thousands? About 5,000? Even in the net game, they’re not many white mages who could become one. I can understand that. It’s not so popular.

“There are only 31 people in Japan, including Mii-chan.”

“Wow, there are only 31 people in Japan. ……… is 31?”

I didn’t understand.

The digits were different. 3-1? Seriously.

Seeing me, the gray-haired, childish girl so stunned that I opened my mouth to gape, Yoshiyuki, my father, frowns and nods back at me. He has mixed feelings of pride and thought his dear daughter would suffer.

My dad’s wife Mirei feels the same way. Moreover, Miu cures someone’s magic disease. Gently and tenderly stroking my’s gray hair, my mom also opens her mouth.

“Mii-chan, you cured the magic disease, right? There are only ten people who can cure it.”

“Huh? But it was easy to fix, mama?”

It was Disease I. It was the lowest-ranked abnormal condition. It was a disease that even a novice priest could cure. As for me, I was in turmoil. Why?

Confused, my mom smiled wryly at the size of my talent when I asked her what was wrong. I could see the look on my mom’s. She wasn’t lying and that it had been easy for me.

“It’s harder to heal a disease than to heal an injury. Injuries are said to be good to heal if you grant a power similar to self-healing, but for illnesses, there is a possibility of virus activation, and recovery magic is said to be ineffective. Therefore, only 10 people in Japan can cure a disease! If we count Miu-chan.”

Miu’s head was starting to spin. Seriously? That’s too few. Oh, right, that’s right. I bite my lip as I realize something. I had been careless.
