My Unique Skill [Gacha] Will Save the World - Episode 134: Kyouka's Situation

Episode 134: Kyouka’s Situation 

Rindou and the others moved to the eat-in space on the first floor. 

“I’m heading home.” 

“I have things to do as well, so I’ll excuse myself.” 

On the way, Kunichika and Kageboshi excused themselves. They left the Association building. 

“…So, Rindou-san. Is Kyouka-chan really okay?” 

“From the way you spoke earlier, it sounds like something happened, didn’t it?” 

The two were worried about Rindou’s hesitancy. They wondered if something had happened to Kyouka. 

“…Actually…” 

Even here, Rindou seemed hesitant. His expression was grim. The two nervously gulped. 

“Kyouka has awakened as a player.” 

“”………..…Huh?”” 

However, the situation wasn’t as grave as Kyousuke and Ayane had feared. Instead, hearing that Kyouka had awakened as a player left them surprised. 

“…Is that really true, Rindou-kun?” 

“Yeah. But it seems like there was some risk to her life compared to my awakening. So Dr. Ayase called me in.” 

“But I’ve never heard of awakening as a player being life-threatening.” 

Ayane voiced her doubt, and Kyousuke nodded in agreement. 

“It was my first time hearing it too. And apparently, the doctor hadn’t encountered it either. She thinks it might have been influenced by the Elixir.” 

“But I’ve never heard of the Elixir having the effect of awakening someone as a player…” 

“Me neither.” 

“The Elixir itself is so rare that it doesn’t circulate widely. Like today’s gate, there are still too many things we don’t know.” 

Whether the Elixir could induce awakening as a player remained unclear. The Elixir was an extremely rare item and hardly ever used. Even when it was, it was typically used on players, who were already awakened individuals. 

There was no precedent for what would happen if it were used on someone who wasn’t a player. Therefore, it couldn’t be ruled out as a possible cause. 

“Before awakening, she seemed to be in pain. But afterward, she looked refreshed. I had informed her of the situation, and she told me to head over right away. So I rushed to her.” 

“I see.” 

“Maybe Kyouka-chan saved us in a way.” 

If Kyouka hadn’t pushed Rindou to leave, Kyousuke and the others might have ended up like the players who had perished at the star-4 double gate. 

Thinking about it sent chills down their spines. At the same time, Kyousuke and Ayane felt a desire to thank Kyouka. 

“Rindou-kun, are you heading to the hospital now?” 

“Yeah. Even though she’s okay, it’s still an unpredictable situation.” 

“Then we’d like to come too! We want to thank Kyouka-chan!” 

“Thank her? Ayane, why are you thanking Kyouka?” 

“For sending you to help us, of course!” 

Rindou tilted his head at the thought, as it had been his own decision. However, knowing that Kyouka was fond of Ayane and Kyousuke, he figured she’d be happy to see them. So he agreed to bring them along. 

“Alright. But you’ll probably be surprised when you see Kyouka now.” 

Rindou’s words made Kyousuke and Ayane look at each other. They were tilting their heads in confusion. 

Accompanied by the two, Rindou left the Association building and headed to the hospital where Kyouka was admitted. 

Kyouka had awakened as a player and undergone a dramatic transformation. So, when they arrived and saw her—— 

“…Kyouka-chan?” 

“…Huh? What… what’s going on?” 

“Ehehe. I ended up like this.” 

Kyouka once had short black hair. She now sported long blue hair. The two blinked repeatedly, staring at her in disbelief. 

“Well, this is how she turned out.” 

“Wait, does awakening always cause this? Did I look like this when I awakened?” 

“Ayane-san, calm down. That doesn’t happen.” 

Kyousuke tried to calm Ayane. She was becoming increasingly confused by the drastic change. 

“The test results show no issues. In fact, she should be feeling better after awakening.” 

While the two were still stunned, Kanna reported the test results. 

“Thank you, Doctor.” 

“That said, there are still many things we don’t understand. If you cooperate just a little longer with the tests, I think there will be no issue with discharging you. So, Kyouka-san, let’s do our best, okay?” 

“Okay!” 

Rindou was just as perplexed as everyone else. But when the word “discharge” came from Kanna’s mouth, he turned his surprised gaze toward her. 

“…Is that true? Kyouka can really be discharged?” 

“Yes, no problem. Also, as her senior Player, make sure to teach her everything she needs to know, all right?” 

“…Ah, thank you so much!” 

Rindou immediately bowed his head deeply in gratitude. 

When he raised his head, his eyes brimmed with tears. 

“You did it, Kyouka!” 

“Yeah! Onii-chan!” 

The two siblings had been unable to go out together due to Kyouka’s condition. For them, her discharge was a major milestone. 

It was such a significant moment that they couldn’t help but shed tears of joy. It made them oblivious to the people around them. 

“Next time, it’s a date, okay, Onii-chan! You promised!” 

“Of course! I’ll even go shopping with you!” 

Afterward, Rindou and Kyouka were joined by Kyousuke and Ayane. They excitedly talked about places to visit and plans for their outing.
