Chapter 48

Rainbow-colored light began to leak from my watch?

Piyo, who had been making its usual sounds, suddenly saw the light and rushed toward the watch.

It was as if a small dimensional hole had opened, and Piyo vanished.

“…….”

Frowning, I watched the watch, and a message appeared.

[Ability Scan and Synchronization]

A moment later, the watch turned off and on again, showing the original screen.

• Equipment & Supplies: Deficient [More Info]

• Revolution Progress: 80%

Hmm? What changed?

But at the bottom of the screen, I noticed a small Upa-rupa character resembling Piyo.

“Piyo?”

I was about to press it when I paused for a moment.

It had clearly just said [Ability Scan and Synchronization].

Something had clearly happened, but I couldn’t make sense of it.

After a brief moment of thought, I spoke to Anes.

“Just in case, stay back. I have something to do inside the greenhouse.”

“Miss, is it something dangerous?”

Anes raised an eyebrow and asked seriously.

“If it’s dangerous, we— I mean, we’ll handle it for you.”

“Me too!”

One of the maids behind Anes also stepped forward and spoke.

I stared at the maids for a moment, slightly dazed.

When did they become so brave?

I felt awkward at the sight of the worry in their eyes, and I shook my head.

“I have to do this. And I don’t think it will be dangerous, but I’m just saying that in case.”

“But…”

“Move aside.”

Only after making an expression as fierce as the original Katrin did they lower their heads and step back.

I heard them murmur, “Be careful, Miss…” in my ear.

After a moment, I put on my watch and entered the greenhouse alone.

Inside the sturdy, expansive greenhouse, there were no longer any obstructions. The Kiryaplant had disappeared, having turned into Piyo.

I pressed the Piyo face on the watch.

Suddenly, rainbow-colored light erupted from the watch and surrounded me.

Once the brilliant rainbow light faded from around my body, I realized that I was holding Piyo.

But wait, did Piyo always have this tattoo-like marking on its body?

“Is it true that divine beings are not bound by space and the constraints of worlds?”

At my question, Heros nodded and opened an old book to read from it.

[A divine being is a strange and mysterious entity that does not belong to any one world and follows its master wherever they go.]

So, if I go to my original world, Piyo will follow me, right?

“Ah, this feels like winning the lottery.”

I petted Piyo, who was sitting on my shoulder.

Every time I petted it, the black tattoo would become more visible, but when I took my hand away, it disappeared.

[Also, divine beings are born with special abilities, and their manifestation is influenced by the divine items they first come in contact with.]

It seemed that the watch was treated as a divine item.

Now that I think about it, it was said that even the divine beings of ancient heroes gained destructive power by absorbing the power of divine items like the Element of Fire.

The ability that Piyo manifested after going into and coming out of my watch was…

“Open, Piyo.”

As I petted Piyo and spoke, the black tattoo on its back lit up, and Piyo opened its mouth.

A large fan-shaped spatial rift appeared from Piyo’s mouth.

Inside it, all the treasures I had placed earlier were stored.

I could now use a special personal storage, a kind of inventory, to take things out and put them back as I pleased.

“Close.”

At my command, Piyo closed its mouth, and the black tattoo on its back disappeared.

Piyo’s ability was the “Inventory” ability.

It seemed to have a similar function to the game system, influenced by the watch.

Though, the watch itself didn’t have an inventory function.

‘This will be very useful when escaping to Montella.’

It was a great way to carry many things around without being noticed.

Most importantly.

‘If I go back to the present world after completing the mission and Piyo is with me, I could live without ever worrying about money.’

I wondered how much gold was worth these days.

With that thought, I couldn’t help but smile to myself.

Ah, of course, I wasn’t planning to plunder all the gold and jewels in this world.

I would leave enough for a comfortable life and, as planned, support Etias and leave the mansion to the servants.

“They say divine beings resemble their masters.”

At Heros’s words, I flinched.

“He resembles me?”

“Not in appearance, but rather, divine beings become what their masters need them to be. That’s probably where the saying comes from.”

Heros reached out and gently petted Piyo’s back.

When he petted it, the tattoo on Piyo’s body didn’t appear. It was proof that Piyo was truly my divine being.

“I did need it. My lucky charm, so to speak.”

I twisted my lips slightly as I spoke.

“I didn’t expect such a cute lucky charm.”

Piyo?

“Its ability to generate space and store things is impressive, but I wonder if there might be more potential beyond this.”

Piyo sat on my shoulder, listening to Heros’s words with me.

“It’s just like how you, Miss, have so much potential.”

I smiled lightly at his flattery, shrugging my shoulders.

“Yeah, yeah, well done.”

As I petted Piyo’s back, it tilted its head happily, enjoying the attention.

“But, Miss…”

While cleaning the floor, maid Jenna whispered to Mary next to her.

“It really feels like she’s changed. Don’t you think so?”

At these words, Mary raised her finger to her lips as if to say “be quiet,” and responded in a low voice.

“What do you think you’re doing, talking about the Miss like that? Someone might hear.”

“But you saw it too. Earlier, she told us to step back because we might be in danger, and not just that—everything has changed…”

Jenna stared at the tip of her new shoes.

The shoes that had almost been on the verge of falling apart were now replaced with new ones, thanks to the Miss’s bulk order from the shoe shop.

“She’s changed.”

The people who had incurred massive debts to the Elemoer family had been repaying them with their labor without receiving wages, essentially slaves with an interest rate so high they would never be able to repay it in their lifetimes.

However, Katrin had completely reformed these harsh working conditions, reducing the interest to less than half and providing the servants with fair wages.

Before the Duke and Duchess of Elemoer passed away, the servants had been forced to work through the night in tattered clothes, with their hands rough and calloused. But now, not only had the working hours been reduced, but they also had good clothes and a much better environment.

The Miss no longer slapped people on the cheek or spat venomous words with a contemptuous attitude.

She was still cold, but…

“It’s the Miss.”

She saw Katrin Elemoer coming down the stairs to the dining room.

Mary, who had been about to stop Jenna, also paused in surprise at the sight of the Miss.

“Before, she had this poisonous, sharp aura, like a wild rose…”

Her pink hair fluttered gently, and her rounded forehead led to a sharp nose.

Though her eyes seemed cold, the violet pupils shimmered like amethysts.

The silvery dress she wore flowed around her like a halo of light.

“Now, it’s something else…”

Jenna’s voice trailed off.

The Miss, who used to be mischievous and often made things difficult for the servants, had changed so much.

Jenna had never realized how beautiful she truly was before. Now, she appeared noble and elegant, like a saint in a holy painting.

“Like a Placo Majeria, the most sacred and beautiful flower.”

At her words, everyone nodded in agreement.
