The old warehouse—now Yuuto's personal workshop—felt larger than usual. Morning light entered through the broken gaps in the roof, illuminating the dusty, dirty concrete floor.
Yuuto stood in the center of the room, clapping his hands together with excitement. A clear aura of enthusiasm radiated from his face.
"I've been wanting to do this for a long time…," he muttered while lifting his right hand.
"Finally, I can start practicing swordsmanship."
His voice was filled with anticipation—like someone who had been holding back for weeks.
But then Yuuto stopped.
"…Oh right. I haven't done my daily login."
He tapped his own forehead.
"Of course… it's probably tofu again," he complained with a long sigh. "Mapo tofu again? Please, no."
Yuuto opened his flip phone.
Click.
When the screen lit up…
Yuuto frowned.
"Huh? That many messages… what happened?"
The number of notifications from the chat group was abnormal. He quickly opened the chat.
And was immediately greeted by a flood of text.
---
[Kuroneko]:
"Hey this is crazy! My login reward today is amazing!!"
[Yamato]:
"You got a good reward too?"
[Irene Belserion]:
"What did you get, Kuroneko… to be that hysterical?"
[Hatsune Miku]:
"I also got something that sounds incredible today~ 🎶✨"
[Lady Avalon]:
"Wow! Looks like the Goddess of Fortune is on our side~"
[Kuroneko]:
"No, this isn't normal luck—this is insane! My reward this time… made me even stronger!"
Yuuto narrowed his eyes.
It was rare to see Kuroneko this excited.
A new message came in—
[Kuroneko]:
"I got two rewards at once!"
"The Senju bloodline, and Tsunade's medical book!!"
"And the Senju bloodline I got isn't a normal Senju—it's directly from Hashirama! In other words, I'm basically like the direct child of Hashirama and Mito!"
[Lady Avalon]:
"Wow… that's a miracle. Congratulations, Kuroneko."
[Yamato]:
"Wait… you got 2 as well?"
[Kuroneko]:
"'As well'? Don't tell me… you got 2 too, Yamato?"
[Yamato]:
"Yeah! I got two!"
"The first one… a long-distance teleportation ticket! With this I can leave Wano for a bit!"
"And the second is—a big ship! We now have a ship for our upcoming voyage!"
Yuuto couldn't stop himself from asking.
[Yuuto]:
"Is the ticket random?"
[Hatsune Miku]:
"Ah, Yuuto! You're online!"
[Yamato]:
"Yeah, the ticket is random!"
[Kuroneko]:
"Isn't that dangerous? What if you teleport to a dangerous place? Or fall into the sea? You're a Devil Fruit user!"
[Yamato]:
"Don't worry! It looks like the ticket always takes you to an island, not the sea."
"And I'm sure the ticket won't send me somewhere dangerous."
"Besides… did you forget how strong I am?"
Kuroneko replied instantly—
[Kuroneko]:
"Yeah… to beat you, they'd need to be above Shichibukai level or around Katakuri's level."
Yamato laughed through text—
[Yamato]:
"Hahahaha! So relax~
And who knows, maybe I'll get sent straight to Laugh Tale with this ticket."
[Hatsune Miku]:
"That requires god-tier luck~ 🎶💙 But who knows~"
[Irene Belserion]:
"So two of our members got two rewards at once… this is truly strange. Did anyone else also get two rewards today?"
A few seconds later—
[Lady Avalon]:
"I only got one reward."
[Hatsune Miku]:
"I also only got one~ 🎶"
[Irene Belserion]:
"Then the rest are normal. I only got one too."
The screen lit up again.
[Irene Belserion]:
"And you, brat… Yuuto. What did you get?"
[Yuuto]:
"Me? I haven't done my login today. I'll do it later."
Irene's reply came instantly.
[Irene Belserion]:
"When you do your login, tell us what you get. I… have a theory about this."
Lady Avalon chimed in.
[Lady Avalon]:
"Oh? You too, Irene? Looks like we're thinking the same thing."
Yuuto tapped the screen, confused.
[Yuuto]:
"What is it? Is it really that strange to get two rewards at once?"
It didn't take long for Irene to explain in detail.
[Irene Belserion]:
"Two login rewards at once isn't just strange. It has never happened."
"Usually, if we receive multiple items in one day… the system combines them into a single reward package."
"For example, if the reward is various foods, they are grouped as one reward—not many."
"But today… Yamato's and Kuroneko's rewards were separated into two. That means the system's mechanism changed… or something is interfering."
[Lady Avalon]:
"For now… let's put aside why the rewards are split."
"Let's continue with what your rewards are."
[Lady Avalon]:
"I got a small boat as well… but more precisely, a lifeboat."
[Yuuto]:
"A lifeboat?
Isn't that perfect for Yamato's ship later?
That makes things easier."
[Lady Avalon]:
"Well, but it's not an ordinary lifeboat~."
"It's a magic lifeboat. According to the description… this little boat can move on its own without being rowed."
"Equipped with a magic-powered engine… or SE, if I remember correctly, this word appeared in some of the stories Kuroneko sent."
[Kuroneko]:
"SE?
Don't tell me that item is from Irene's world.
Her world has magic vehicles that use energy called SE – Self Energy."
[Lady Avalon]:
"Oh? Is that true, Irene-chan?
Is this item from your world~?"
[Irene Belserion]:
"YOU!!!"
A few seconds of silence.
Then…
[Irene Belserion]:
"Forget it.
Yes… it's confirmed that it's from my world."
Her tone sounded like someone completely resigned to Lady Avalon's habit of calling her "chan."
[Lady Avalon]:
"Wow~ amazing!
This will be very interesting to study. Your world really has magic technology that is… eccentric."
[Lady Avalon]:
"Next, Irene-chan~ what's your reward today?"
[Irene Belserion]:
"I got a Supreme Mystic Code: Volumen Hydrargyrum.
I haven't accepted it because I want to know exactly what it is."
[Kuroneko]:
"WHAT!!
You got a Mystic Code—and not just any Mystic Code, but a top-tier one!"
[Irene Belserion]:
"Oh? So you know something about it, Kuroneko?"
[Kuroneko]:
"Of course.
That's a highly advanced Mystic Code from Lady Avalon's world.
Believe me, Irene… it will make you much stronger.
I'll send you the data and how to use it later."
[Irene Belserion]:
"I see…
In other words, this item is from that crazy magician's world, huh?"
[Lady Avalon]:
"Hahahahaha, don't be mad, Irene-chan.
I call you 'chan' because you're cute~"
[Irene Belserion]:
"Stop it."
[Lady Avalon]:
"But seriously…
You're lucky to get Volumen Hydrargyrum."
"Unfortunately, one of its original users… met a horrible end."
[Kuroneko]:
"What Lady Avalon means is… the previous user wasn't competent enough.
In your hands, the result will definitely be different."
[Irene Belserion]:
"Of course it will be different.
I'm not some weak human who can't use a tool gifted by the world."
[Lady Avalon]:
"Now… Miku-chan, your turn. What did you get?"
[Hatsune Miku]:
"Oh! Finally my turn.
My reward today… seems very powerful, just from the name."
[Irene Belserion]:
"Oh? Confident just from the name?
Alright, tell us."
[Hatsune Miku]:
"Fufufu… the item I got is…"
"Sephira Crystal – Gabriel."
One second of silence.
[Yamato]:
"Ooh? From the name it does sound amazing.
But… what is it exactly, Miku?"
[Hatsune Miku]:
"I… don't really know?
It seems related to an angel… but I don't understand the details."
"…Kuroneko might know."
[Yuuto]:
"Kuroneko, what kind of item is that? From how Miku said it… it sounds like something high-level."
There was no reply.
One second… two seconds… five seconds.
[Lady Avalon]:
"…Kuroneko?"
[Irene Belserion]:
"Hey, dark girl. Why are you silent?"
Still no reply.
Then—
The group notification blasted loudly:
[Kuroneko]:
"WHAT!!!!!!
Y-Y-YOU GOT THAT SS-TIER ITEM?!???"
The chat fell silent.
