Lucky 83
Calix and Kimberly looked at each other, they felt like they discovered something great. They stood up, disregarded the money on the floor, and walked to check the pistol.
The pistol was vibrating and doing its best to move around, it was trying to move to reach the coin. Just like the pistol, the coin in Calix's hand was vibrating too, as if two fated lovers met.
"This is…"
Calix released the coin, it elevated and glowed, he squinted because of the light. Just like the coin, the pistol started glowing too. The Runes around the pistol glowed with red blood color. The coin and pistol were having synergy.
After a few seconds, the light vanished and the two items returned to normal. However, Kimberly won't be fooled.
"Calix, give me the coin."
Calix carefully gave it to her, Kimberly fixed her glasses and studied the coin. She did not find anything odd but she knew that something was different about it.
"Could it be!"
She picked the pistol and dismantled all of the wires attached to it. Then, she opened a small compartment under the handle, this is where they put the battery.
She inserted the coin. Unsurprisingly, it fit well. Then the Runes glowed up and the pistol became fully operating.
"Without a doubt… this coin is a fragment of Excalibur, the legendary sword."
"What?"
Caliz almost jumped because of shock. He could never believe that the coin he found was actually a special item. His pupils dilated and his mouth wide open in surprise.
"Un."
Kimberly nodded and took out the coin. She decided to do some inspection, she tested the coins and the results were positive. It was a fragment of the Excalibur.
"I can't believe that an item that most countries crave was found by you. No, it's not a coincidence. With your Term Attribute, you unconsciously found the legendary fragment. The never-ending energy."
Kimberly was in awe, this country of Dellia( I decided to name the country so that it won't be confusing anymore ) only had two fragments. One was used to maintain the Obice and the other was for research purposes. Yet, she just found one in the hands of her most beloved. She turned around, she was so excited, happy, and proud. She was delighted to be with him.
"Calix! You're heaven sent!!"
She leaped and hugged Calix so tightly, her feverish breath could make any man crazy. Ever since she met him, everything about her life started to get better. Perhaps it was an effect of his Luck.
'But it did not matter, I don't care about it. I just love this man. I want to be with him forever. Those blessings that I will receive are not important. My love for him will never change.'
She was so happy that she rubbed her cheek against his chest. Calix embraced her but his mind was blurred. He was still shocked by what he found, he admitted that his Luck was truly frightening.
The fragment could be sold for up to billions of dollars, no one would scold him even if he sold it to that value.
For a moment, he lost all his reasoning. He just hugged Kimberly while staring at nowhere. Out of the most Luck that he ever experienced, this was the current bullshit that caught him the most.
'A fragment can cause a war, yet I have one in my hand…'
The Obice protected Dellia from the attacks of flying Aberrant, this gave them safety whenever they traveled in the sky. Not only that, because the transportation was fast, their response to the crisis was fast too. They could send soldiers to other places in case Aberrant broke the Border or Port of Aoneon. Their country had two spots where monsters could reach them. The western and southern-east parts of Dellia were always assaulted by Aberrants. The Border and Port of Aoneon are the strongholds that kept them Aberrant in check.
Yet despite being assaulted by two sides, because of the Obice, their people could sleep well without being anxious about the Aberrant.

Early in the morning.
Kimberly was studying the pistol and the coin, she was trying to gather information about these old items.
"Here's a coffee."
"Thank you."
Kimberly smiled at Calix. They did not sleep because they were busy with the coin and the pistol. They feel like they had to prioritize it.
Well, Calix can't help her aside from trivial stuff but he decided to stay up all night just to take care of Kimberly.
Apparently, this woman won't drink water, won't eat food, and won't take a piss whenever she was immersed in something. Calix's job was to make sure that Kimberly won't have an accident and keep her healthy. That's why he would give her something to eat and drink if he believed that Kimberly needed nutrition.
The whole night, Kimberly found some important things. The first was about the pistol, it seemed like this pistol had some secrets that would only open if it was powered by the fragment. Sadly, Kimberly could not use the pistol because it doesn't accept her. Yes, this pistol has consciousness. It was awakened when Kimberly put the coin inside the compartment.
As for the commemorative coin, except for being a fragment, it did not give Kimberly any information. But it was no big deal. The fact that she was holding a fragment was already enough to make her happy.
Overall, she found another interesting stuff to research, and it was all because of Calix. She glanced at Calix, she was pouting.
"Geez, this man knows how to keep a woman! How can I leave you after everything that I experienced? No, I will never leave you, I will love you forever. Every time I'm with you, I always find something new and interesting! Why are you like that?"
"Um, I'm sorry."
Calix tilted his head.
"You better be! Now give me a kiss!"
Calix shrugged, this woman was acting tough. Should he give her some idea why he liked her? Calix snatched the back of her head and gave him a kiss that made them both breathless.
"T- Thank you…"
Kimberly became rosy red and she focused on her research again.
Calix chuckled and drank his coffee. Spending time with Kimberly was not bad. In fact, he learned a lot of things. Calix was confident about his knowledge but Kimberly taught him a lot as if he was just an elementary student.
