As Yuta waited for the five minutes to run out, he saw that the countdown was almost over. All this time the mother and baby Frostcoat were rubbing against each other and making strange noises.
As Yuta got up from the ground and kicked up the dust, the mother Frostcoat came to Yuta and bowed her head in front of him. Yuta did not speak to this Frostcoat, but through their bond, he understood that she had surrendered to him and entrusted her child to him in the future.
Yuta took a step forward and asked to stroke the head of the taller mother Frostcoat. The mother Frostcoat saw his request and got down on one knee and offered her head to Yuta.
Yuta touched the hard pieces of ice on the top of the mother Frostcoat's head and then put his hand under her chin. Unlike the ice on its back, the white fur of the mother wolf was very soft and warm.
Yuta held and stroked the baby wolf for a while before sending them both back into the shadows. Of course, the baby frost wolf had now taken its place in the ten-shadow technique on Yuta's left ring finger.
"Yare yare. I have a lot of useless ugly monsters now, except for a few. Anyway, after I've done the last bronze draw, I'll start using the silver draw rights."
Sigh
Yuta put his hand on his waist, sighed, and used the last bronze raffle ticket in the system.
As usual, after the raffle ticket appeared in Yuta's vision, it started to crumble into dust, but then something unexpected happened.
Just as the raffle ticket was about to crumble into dust, a system screen appeared in front of Yuta and the raffle ticket changed.
[ Jackpot!!! ]
[ Bronze raffle ticket evolved into a random raffle ticket. Congratulations Host, now you can have an illogical raffle that is not restricted by the rules. ]
As Yuta looked at the colorful raffle ticket floating in the air, a system screen appeared asking him if he wanted to continue the draw. Yuta thought for a short while and then decided to continue. Because the system did not say that he could keep this ticket if he decided not to continue, and Yuta did not want to throw away a big prize with his own hands.
The colored ticket glowed in the air for a while and then disappeared.
Yuta looked around carefully and didn't notice any movement, but at the same time, he couldn't see anyone.
[ Lottery results...
........ Some time ago in another place
A white-haired woman with a big stick in her hand kept walking, stepping on the leaves falling from the trees.
After walking for about half an hour more, she finally realized she was lost and sighed. "Where is here?"
At this moment, a little girl's voice came from behind the white-haired woman. "Is something wrong?"
When the woman turned around and looked at the source of the voice, she saw a little girl with purple hair and purple eyes and was briefly surprised, but her face showed no expression.
"No... I'm looking for the house of a man called Heiter."
The little girl pulled the mushroom basket slightly upwards before answering. The mushrooms she was carrying were obviously too heavy for her. "Then you are our guest."
When the white-haired woman saw the girl turn around and start walking, she picked up the brown bag she had just put down and walked after the sweet girl.
Right... The white-haired woman had triangular ears and her name was once known throughout the kingdom. Everyone called her Frieren, the great wizard. But twenty years had passed since the defeat of the demon king and many had already forgotten her.
Frieren followed the purple-haired girl to his old friend's house and they sat at the table together.
While the little purple-haired girl was in the kitchen preparing dinner, a man named Heiter looked at his old friend and laughed like an old man.
Meanwhile, the purple-haired girl came out of the kitchen with a tray half her height and two teacups put a cup of tea in front of both Frieren and Heiter, and left.
Frieren watched as the purple-haired girl took the tray back and returned to the kitchen. "She?"
Heither smiled and answered Frieren's question. "A war orphan from the South. Her name is Fern."
"Volunteering to help people... It's not like you."
Heiter was at a loss for words because he knew his old friend was right. Perhaps it was old age that had changed him. Maybe it had taken him too long to find his true self.
"Frieren... Why did you come to visit me?"
"I had things to do in the holy city. I also remembered that I owe you a lot and I want to settle my debts before you die."
At these words, there was a short silence and they both drank their tea. Until Heiter started the conversation again. "Then how about taking on an apprentice? Fern is a child with a great talent for magic. She will be very powerful if trained by someone like you."
Frieren thought for a short while and then decided to refuse him. Mage apprentices were dying far too often and she didn't want to see the child entrusted to her by her old friend die because of her mistake, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she felt something strange and jumped to table, grabbing the wand lying beside her.
