Chapter 12 : Month later!

Time-Line: 10th July 2005

///////////////////

Change of POV: Morgan Le Fay

I looked at my watch on the desk in my bedroom.

It's 6:50 PM.

I snuggled into my bed before covering myself with blanket and closing my eyes slowly.

A month has passed since the last Church incident.

Chaotic?

Many people, from Church, Grigori and Devil Faction attempted to contact our group who by now goes by the name of 'Black-Ogres' because of their Ninja outfit and Ogre Masks. Y'know the type of masks that Samurai's would use ? That one. 

Not very creative, but who cares. They work well to conceal their appearances for now, but same cannot be said for their auras if they get activated.

Their reasons for contacting them were unclear with all intents and purposes at first.

At first, that is.

And I ordered them with strict instruction to 'lay down' for time till I get more Quests. Cautiousness is a must.

But none the less, soon enough I got Quests similar to the one with 'Investigating' Church. Some of them even gave me 10k Gold, others 5k Gold.

It all depended on type of 'What' we need to investigate, precisely.

This month has certainly been fantastic source of Income, and by the end of it, I gathered more than 70k Gold just in the last 30 days.

And I liked that one simple fact.

Quests were like.

[Quest: Investigate Devils in Kuoh Academy!]

[Reward: 15,000 Gold]

............

[Quest: Investigate Shidou Family residence!]

[Reward: 2,500 Gold]

.............

[Quest: Investigate Grigori's reasons for attempting to contact 'Black-Ogres'!]

]Reward: 10,000 Gold]

////////////////////////////

Rewards were bountiful and satisfying honestly. 

And a three days ago I proceeded with summoning a new groups of Hunters.

Two new groups are added and sent to nearby town.

A group with:

B-Rank Hunter -High-Class.

And two C-Rank Hunters- Mid-Class .

That group has been sent with necessary money and instructions to Saitama City.

And third but final group of Hunters consisted of:

One C-Rank Hunter - Mid-Class.

And two D-Rank Hunters - Low-Class.

They were sent to Tokigawa town. 

Once I summon more Hunters, I will of course expand ours zone of influence so every big city has couple of our Hunters in them.

I had to buy them all a proper D-Rank weapons with exception of D-Rank Hunters. 

It's a waste in my opinion to buy a D-Rank Hunter something stronger than basic E-Rank Katana right now, maybe once we have thousands of members, it would be a different story, but not now.

Leaving me with less than 1k Gold right now.

"Life is beautiful when you have power." I mumbled as I closed my eyes. ' Black-Ogres spread through Japan's Devilnet at incredible speed, there are countless theories and sites of their supposed 'bases' in Tokyo.'

Not just 'bases', there are multiple theories about 'Stray Devils' attacking 'Stray Devils' or even 'Angels masking as Black-Ogres', just as how internet was free and bountiful in 2020s, same could be said with Devilnet today.

A small smirk played on my lips, even in Supernatural side of the world, even reporters are same nightmares as before.

With swift instructions, Tokigawa Team was sent to simply 'control' the territory and not to engage with anyone.

Saitama Team was sent to investigate all races living there, from Youkai to Devils. It doesn't matter but they are not to engage unless absolutely necessary.

And Mizu Kage might gain promotion soon, in a month or two when we once again accumulate enough Gold to buy more Japanese Tickets for Hunters and probably send him to Tokyo.

After all, he is Low-Ultimate Class who can take care of himself and should be capable of leading a team of two High-Class .

And slowly but surely, I drifted into a deep sleep.

Hours later. 

-Time-Line : 11th July 2005

And my daily routine started, It was so boring that I wished for something to happen, considering my circumstances and how I ended up in this world.

It's somehow..

Too normal I guess?

Too shallow, too 'un-fantasy' like?

I woke up. Rubbed my eyes, checked the watch.

I brushed my teeth.

And walked downstairs, had a small talk with Grandmother as she made breakfast today once more, pancakes today too.

I love pancakes.

We have pancakes at least two times a week but different Jam this time.

But as always, we eat in silence before she had to go to work

But just as she existed the house, a [System]'s notification appeared, the usual one with a quest and this time..

Quest was definitely unusual..

[Quest: Start Training!]

[Description: Time to start getting physical!]

[ Progress : Sit-Ups: 5/0]

 [Push-Ups: 5/0]

 [Squats: 5/0]

 [Steps: 500/0]

[ Reward: 1x Spin on the Wheel of Fortune!]

I squinted my eyebrows at the reward before asking [System], I had to of course.

'[System] what is this 'Wheel of Fortune' ?' As I sat down on the couch before turning on the TV to watch some cartoon while waiting for Ikari-San to arrive and 'Babysit' me.

But thankfully, [System] has been considerate enough to answer my question.

Screen shifted in front of my vision.

[ Wheel of Fortune is a basic wheel, the one who spins it may acquire incredible treasures, from A-Rank Weapons, S-Rank Weapons to incredible large amount of money. It all depends on their pure luck and how hard they spin it!]

Wow!

My eyes beamed at that, that's cool! I might get lucky to get a good weapon for myself or for Goto-San!

But [System[ mentioned 'money', does it include Gold as my currency for the [System]? I asked myself but as [System] had been reading my mind it decided to answer.

Earlier purple and yet transparent screen has been replaced by another but smaller screen this time.

[Indeed, [Player] can earn amount of money from 10 Gold to 1,000,000,000 Gold.All in complete and utter luck, [Player] can only blame himself for the luck!]

My eyes beamed, this is good!

I better start doing these exorcises right now! The faster I start, the faster I will get to spin the wheel!

If you planned to motivate me with this, then it sure as hell worked! 

I though to myself as I jumped from the couch before I started doing the much needed exorcises. 

I have some time left, I'm still four year old [Physically] so I will be doing it one at a time!

I started from Squats.

Thankfully [System] only required five of each of them for me to do. Otherwise I wouldn't have even started doing them, damn it ! I'm in child's body, I don't want those rubbish exorcises to damage me when I'm still growing up. Hopefully [System] will hold on 100 Sit-Ups, Squats and Push-Ups till I was few years older.

I think ten year old should be adequate age for training like that.

Ok done, Let's do five Sit-Ups next.

"Uf!"

"Ah!"

Done.

I constantly checked [System]'s Quest Tab on the Quest, to see if my exorcises are being counted. And they sure are.

When I do one Sit-Ups, one 'appears'.

And now only push ups..

Will push-ups for women count? I wonder.

I wondered before trying it.

Let's see, I positioned my body properly. Then I pushed against the floor.

One.

After doing one, I slowly averted my gaze towards the screen in front of me.

Then I checked [System]'s screen. 

[Quest: Start Training!]

[Description: Time to start getting physical!]

[ Progress : Sit-Ups: 5/5]

[Push-Ups: 5/0]

[Squats: 5/5]

[Steps: 500/0]

[ Reward: 1x Spin on Wheel of Fortune!]

"So those don't count, ~Sigh." I sighed, I should have expected that already, but never mind. 

Then I took correct 'stance' for male push-ups.

Then I pushed once more, my arms buckling under my weight slightly. I gritted my teeth, maybe it's really too early for me to start doing training like this..

I gritted my teeth once more before I continued.

I followed, one by one.

Then I checked [System]'s screen once more.

All five done, great. 

I stood up from my position before checking time on the nearby digital watch I placed on my couch.

7:41 AM

"Ikari-San may arrive any moment but I have 500 Steps to complete, so I should start walking." I said out loud before I remembered that I could prepare my bedroom and other menial tasks that I usual do to count all steps instead of just walking around.

At least us up my time somehow, time is money is what some people might say.

I walked up the stairs, then I walked towards my room, opened the doors leading to my room before entering it.

I prepared my room for night-time once again, folded my blankets just how I love them, placed my pillows correctly. Took the old blankets before I walked out of my room, towards the bathroom and throwing them inside.

I walked back into my room, then.

I started brushing the dust off around the room, changed some clothes in the wardrobe too and I couldn't help glancing in the mirror.

I sighed at my 'reflection' in the mirror, you can't blame me, I can't blame myself neither.

Blue pants, blue shirt. And silver-white hair reaching my neck, I had it cut a little bit honestly. It had been getting on my nerves lately, it was annoying.

I don't mind having long hair, I had long hair in my past life too so that's not a problem at all. And eventually I will let it grow and try that 'Morgan Le Fay' hair style she used back then, maybe while acting as 'leader of Human Faction' once it grows enough, I will try and make her dress too. Who knows. 

Fate is funny thing, you never know what might happen eventually. Or if another meteor like the one that killed dinosaurs appears heading towards Earth. 

Then I looked at my rather pale skin before glancing at my beautiful blue eyes before smirking. Even though I lost my little brother, I won genetic lottery.

I flexed my arms in the mirror. Despite living here in this world, in this body for four years. It's still weird to think of myself as nothing more but James..

We'll see.

Did I mention that I had asked [System] on how to activate my 'Le Fay Bloodline'? I probably didn't, but [System] just said that there will be a quest for it. I don't know what, but there will be one for it and for Job-Change Quest too.

Just like in Solo Leveling huh.

I thought as I dropped my hands before I heard ringing on the doors. I quickly left my room before almost running for the doors leading to my house.

~Tip!

~Tip!

I opened the doors slowly and carefully as usual, caution is a must in Kuoh anyway.

And there she is.

"Hi, Morgan-Sama. I apologize for coming this late, I slept over.." She bowed with an apologetic expression, I smiled. I like her, out of all summons till now she has been with me the last two months, I passed time with her and grew to 'like' her honestly. Not 'like' like' her but as a friend.

I side stepped allowing her to enter. She did.

"It's fine, I guessed as much. So did you sleep well least? Was it worthy?" I questioned her as I closed the doors tightly, then I turned around to look at her.

"Yes I had a good sleep, but do you have plans for today yet?" She questioned me with a small tilt from her head, side-ways.

I shock my head.

"I got another quest, this one I almost finished, I just need to complete 500 steps walk and I will be able to spin some type of wheel of fortune, if I get Lucky I might gain big amount of Gold too. If not, well then I at least tried." I explained as I shrugged my shoulders. 

Though, deep down I have great hopes for it. I just hope my bad luck with Gacha games won't follow me into this world too.

She nodded before asking. " Then do you want to go for a walk to park or somewhere? I will need to contact Elizabeth after all."

I shock my head.

" Let's just do dishes and prepare house, I don't feel like playing with Irina nor Issei today. They are okay but sometimes it can be quite 'exhausting' to deal with kids." I grumbled the last part of my sentence under my breath but since Ikari-San was close to me she heard it, causing her to giggle in response.

It wasn't like I was trying to hide it or anything, It's just how I am. How I 'cope' I guess.

I simply groaned, once Issei is ten year old i'm 100% making him join my faction, I don't care what other people say but to let him become a Devil somehow and join Rias' Peerage would be such a loss of opportunity, especially seeing how his Sacred Gear could work to support others by boosting their powers.

Imagine Issei uses 'Boost' on Thomas Andre's Black Hole? 

Or Imagine Issei boosting Thomas Andre's [Reinforcement]?

Yeah, that might be terrifying.

But it's not only Issei who we need to collect, getting Yuuto Kiba would be also a bonus, with right and serious training form beginning I can see him reaching Ultimate-Class at minimum eventually when he is adult. And trying to find other wielders of Longinus-Class Sacred Gears is also must.

Of course, that's if we only have enough resources to attempt to do so.

It would be great if we could eventually find Cao Cao before Indra, thus stopping 'Hero Faction' before it even began and 'indoctrinate' him into our order.

But those are stories for another time, for now we still need to even have a control of Japan let alone whole World.

So with that in mind, both I and Ikari-San started working.

I started clearing dust from everywhere while Ikari-San took care of the dishes. It's easier for her due to her height.

We cleaned whole house from the bottom to the top. And it took us hours, it certainly needed that one month cleaning. 

It passed so much time that I didn't even notice, notice that I have already finished requirement for the Quest.

Screen appeared in front of my eyes.

[Quest: Start Training!]

[Description: Time to start getting physical!]

[ Progress : Sit-Ups: 5/5]

[Push-Ups: 5/5]

[Squats: 5/5]

[Steps: 500/500]

[ Reward: 1x Spin on Wheel of Fortune!] [Claim]

With glee in my eyes I couldn't contain my excitement, I clicked [Claim] Immediately before I sat up on the couch, Ikari-San sitting near me, watching some TV Drama.

"I got it, Quest is finished!" I proclaimed, causing Ikari-San to wince slightly at my high-pitched tone of voice before looking at me with unreadable expression. 

Was she annoyed? Certainly!

Will she complain? Nope!

"Really, then will you spin it now?" She questioned, I simply nodded before opening my[Inventory] and looking for [Spin the Wheel of Fortune] ticket. 

I found it soon enough, it's a rainbow ticket with a circle and red dot in the middle of it. Once I clicked on it, another screen appeared in my vision.

[ Would you like to spin the Wheel of Fortune?]

[Yes/No]

I clicked yes without a second though, this time another screen replaced the old one.

It shows a spin, spin that has dozens of rewards at ends of the circle engraved on the wheel.

I noticed some of them.

[Kasaka's Venom Fang]

[Baruka's Dagger]

[Goblin King's Sword]

[Katana] E-Rank

And many weapons appeared, but weapons are not the only objects and things on the wheel. 

[S-Rank Random-Ticket]

[A-Rank Random-Ticket]

Tickets are also there.

I continued looking and I noticed Gold too, I see 100 Gold, 10 Gold, Millions Gold and in billions too.

With anticipation waiting under my skin, my fingers moved to a stick that manifested from the screen, probably no one beside me could see it.

My finger slowly moved to it, before I grasped the whole stick.

I gripped the handle with excitement before pulling it down with all the strength my small hands could muster, which was not much considering I was four year old right now.

But Wheel certainly started spinning.

Second turned into dozens of seconds, I think it almost span for a minute.

But then, I saw it stopping.

I saw it almost stopping on [10 Gold].

I shut my eyes in disappointment, trying to not look at disgusting screen in front of my face.

I had high hopes for it! Damn it! Why! Oh unfair world!

Gacha luck will follow me everywhere it seems..

Ikari-San was my expression so she hugged me while 'Shooing' and patting my shoulders lightly 

Man, why you gotta play with my feeling like that! I finally hoped for something good..

But then, notification 'ringed', causing me to open my eyes that were threatening to spill tear. All from sheer disappointment in my luck.

[Congratulations! You won 2,000,000 Gold!]

"Oh, it seems that my Gacha luck did not follow me to next world after all.." I murmured to myself..
