"Reward from the Group Chat?" Jeanne asked.
"Yes." Haru nodded.
"Can I get stronger then?" Jeanne asked.
"That depends on your luck, but as long as you're with me, your luck will be greatly increased," Haru said without hesitation. It wasn't some bullshit since whenever he was around, the luck of everyone when they opened their reward really increased. He wasn't sure why, but it might be related to his status as a harem protagonist.
As a harem protagonist, his luck was great. It might also affect his surroundings too, though, in the case of another protagonist, their luck would be absorbed by him since another protagonist, especially the harem protagonist one would suffer from him, such as their moment to power up was stolen, their heroines were stolen, etc.
There were a lot of examples, but it was better to talk about that matter later.
"Hmm, I wish I could get something that could get me to fly," Jeanne said.
During her fight with the Ancient Dragon, Jeanne realized how troublesome it was to not be able to fly, so if possible, she wanted something that could help her to move around freely.
Jeanne looked at Haru and asked, "Haru, don't you have something that can help me with my battle?"
Haru thought for a bit and nodded. "I have. Wait a moment." He then took out Shambala and Mastema, which were two Teigus that he got from the world of Akame Ga Kill. He was the Emperor, so it was normal for him to have all the Teigu.
"This... you want to give me two of them? Is that alright? One of them is your favorite item, right?" Jeanne knew that Haru loved to use Shambala since it was very convenient to teleport everywhere by using it. If possible, she also wanted to buy Shambala on the Group Chat, but it was quite expensive, especially since she had only joined the Group Chat. She didn't have enough points to buy it, which made her helpless.
"Watch me."
Haru neither nodded nor shook his head but took out a small sticker from his palm and put that sticker on both Shambala and Mestema. Then suddenly, there was another Shambala, and Mestema appeared in front of them.
"This...?!"
Jeanne was stunned and looked at Haru, hoping he would answer what the sticker that he had just put before was.
"This is one of my abilities, "Kiss'." Haru showed the sticker on his palm and said, "As long as I put this sticker, I can duplicate anything."
"!!!"
Jeanne was startled and asked, "Anything?"
"Anything."
Haru nodded, and in truth, he almost forgot that he had owned this power since it was very rare for him to use this ability. After all, even though this ability was fairly powerful, it was quite hard to use it in battle. He remembered the last time he used this ability was when he was at Kuzuha's world. Still, then, he remembered that the use of this ability was to duplicate something, so he directly used this ability to duplicate his Teigu collections.
(Kuzuha Doumouto from the world of Hagure Yuusha, if you don't remember her).
Haru then showed a mischievous smile and whispered something to Jeanne.
When Jeanne heard Haru's whisper, she blushed and slapped Haru's hand since this guy was so perverted, right? However, she had to admit that she was a bit curious since she heard that it was possible for him to put the sticker on that part of his body.
"Don't pull the sticker, or it will return back," Haru said.
"Alright." Jeanne nodded. She looked at Shambala and knew that it was used to teleport, and Mestema, since it had the shape of wings, then its function was obvious. "How about we open the rewards?"
"Sure."
Haru nodded and felt that it was quite a long way since this arc was quite long, the author needed to write at least 70++ chapters to end the arc, even though the story had only 12 episodes.
"Do you want to open your rewards first or later?" Haru asked.
"Hmm...." Jeanne was in deep thought, but then, she said, "How about you first?"
"....."
Haru was a bit surprised since it was his first time to open his reward first since he usually opened his reward at the end, but he didn't really mind, so he directly opened his reward.
"Then I will open my reward," Haru said and directly opened his reward.
Jeanne looked at Haru's smartphone and wondered what kind of reward that guy would get.
The lottery started, and it moved very fast until it stopped.
[Congratulations, you have received "Snatch" ability]
"Snatch?" 2x
Haru and Jeanne said at the same time.
Haru raised his eyebrow and decided to check what kind of ability "Snatch" was.
---
Snatch.
Snatch is a power possessed by Fox's Sin of Greed, Ban. It is an ability that enables its wielders to "rob" physical objects and the abilities of other creatures without making any actual or direct contact.
---
"...."
Haru was surprised, especially since it was his second time to get a reward from the world of "Nanatsu No Taizai." He thought for a bit and said, "Jeanne, how about you summon your battle flag? Let me try my new power."
"Alright."
Jeanne nodded since she was also curious about Haru's new ability. Still, she had to admit that when she saw the name of the ability was "Snatch," she felt that this ability was very well suited for him since he had snatched many heroines from the protagonist.
Jeanne then summoned her battle flag and looked at Haru curiously. "What are you going to do now?"
Haru then used his "Snatch" ability to rob Jeanne's battle flag.
Jeanne suddenly felt that a tremendous power pulled her battle flag, and she couldn't stop it.
"What?!"
Jeanne saw her battle flag moved to Haru's hand with a dumbfounded expression since her weapon was really snatched by her lover.
"....."
Haru looked at Jeanne's battle flag and had to admit that the "Snatch" ability was quite powerful, but at the same time, he knew that Ban was unable to use this ability fully.
In the story, Ban used "Snatch" to steal the physical abilities of their opponents, including speed, stamina, and raw strength, and add it to their own, thus strengthening himself and weakening their opponents.
Haru had to admit that Ban's way of using his ability was quite good, but many things could be snatched, right?
Haru thought that since something conceptual such as physical abilities, speed, stamina, and strength could be snatched, then other things such as luck, will, soul, age, time, etc., could be stolen too, right?
Haru was wondering why Ban had never used this ability that way since if Ban really used this ability that way, Ban would be invincible. He then returned the battle flag back to Jeanne and thought to train his ability better since, at this moment, the things that he could snatch were limited. At the same time, he knew that he should be able to combine this ability with the "Steal" ability that he had gotten previously.
When Jeanne listened to Haru's explanation about his new power, she had to admit that his ability was very cheating. She let out a sigh and said, "You have become even stronger."
"Isn't that good? If I am stronger, then I can protect you better," Haru said and kissed Jeanne's forehead.
Jeanne smiled sweetly and hugged him. She knew that this guy was a bastard, but she loved him very much.
"You should open your reward now," Haru said.
"Um."
Jeanne nodded and opened her reward.
The lottery started to move, and it stopped.
[Congratulations, you have received the power of "Kage Kage no Mi"]
"...Huh?"
