With enough points, she could simply invite Takumi over when the time came.
She already knew Bronya wanted to come.
After all, Bronya had messaged her privately.
She just wanted to see little Bronya.
She didn't refuse.
In fact, she was curious to see the grown-up Bronya herself.
Fujiwara Chika: [Got enough points?] [Wanna roll once?] [I've got enough too! I'm debating whether to try a draw!!]
She had used her previous points to enhance her psychic abilities.
Her growth had been too slow, so she couldn't resist using them.
Now, she figured her abilities were around Level 3.
Not bad. Her first enhancement turned out quite well.
Himeko: [You want to draw?] [I kinda want to try it too.]
Himeko had also become interested.
She too had enough points.
And had already used some to enhance her strength.
Now she was clearly stronger than before.
Which meant she didn't have many points left.
So she was tempted to give the lottery a shot.
Seeing Fujiwara Chika talk about drawing made her really want to join in.
Fujiwara Chika: [Himeko-senpai, you're going to draw too?] [How about we try together?]
Her eyes sparkled as she saw Himeko's message.
A joint draw—yes, that sounded perfect.
She had wanted to try for a while.
But she'd been hesitant.
So she wanted to pull someone along.
Takumi: [I drew last time and got a whole box of "Oriental Leaves"!] [This lottery is seriously messed up!!]
Hearing them talk about drawing, Takumi couldn't help but complain.
Last time, he got an entire box of Oriental Leaves tea.
What a scam.
Fujiwara Chika: [Such a loser!]
She laughed.
Drawing tea? Seriously?
Such bad luck.
Takumi: [My first sign-in gave me the Cocoon of the End, and I ended up the strongest in the group. How about you? (???(???(???) ]
He was curious, very curious.
What did this pink-haired girl who called him unlucky get from her draw?
Fujiwara Chika: [(ˉ▽ˉ;)...Tch~~!]
She got a pair of Balenciaga shoes.
She didn't even wear them!
Sign-ins and lotteries were completely different matters.
Totally unrelated.
Himeko: [Let me test the waters first~!]
Seeing the two bicker, Himeko decided to just go ahead.
Without hesitation, she entered the shop menu.
Found the lottery interface and hit the draw button.
Her first draw result appeared quickly.
[Congratulations, you've received: Stigmata - Polar Flame.]
She was stunned when she saw what she got.
A stigmata?
From Honkai Impact?
While she was still puzzled, the item turned into light and merged into her body.
She immediately felt a tickling sensation on her back.
A special rose-like tattoo appeared.
At the same time, she could feel her power increasing.
She quickly checked her group item status.
[Stigmata - Polar Flame] Effect: Increases all damage by 20%, boosts fire-element attacks by 50%.
Seeing the effect, her eyes lit up.
This would greatly boost her power.
Absolutely amazing.
Without delay, she shared it in the group chat.
Himeko: [Image] [Pretty lucky—got a stigmata.]
She was genuinely happy.
This stigmata really suited her.
Takumi was also surprised by what Himeko shared.
A stigmata, and a good one at that.
It certainly fit Himeko.
Takumi: [You're really lucky. You actually got something useful!] [Congrats!!]
He sincerely congratulated her.
She pulled something that could genuinely enhance her power.
Fujiwara Chika: [Wow!!] [Congrats, congrats. My turn now!!]
Seeing Himeko's good result, Fujiwara Chika's eyes lit up.
Without a second thought, she hit the draw button.
[Congratulations, you received: Self-repairing Silk Stockings x1.]
Her face instantly darkened.
Silently, she closed the menu.
She had no intention of sharing that.
Damn it!!
Why was her luck always so bad??
"My points... waaaa!!"
All those points she'd saved up.
Now she was about to cry.
Really, truly upset.
She didn't dare post what she got.
If Takumi saw it, that perv would definitely make her wear it for him.
And it was auto-repairing silk stockings, no less???
Just thinking about it made her blush.
No. Absolutely not!!
At that moment, Takumi had just returned to Earth from the moon.
He noticed that Fujiwara Chika had suddenly gone silent.
He was instantly intrigued.
Takumi: [@Fujiwara Chika, you there?] [Why so quiet, lucky girl?] [Let me see what you got?]
Hey now, why the sudden silence?
Say something!
Sagiri: [Looks like she drowned!!!] [I'd better not try my luck.]
Himeko: [Chika, what did you get?]
Not only Takumi, but Himeko, Sagiri, and others lurking in the group were all curious.
Her silence was suspicious.
If she got something good, she'd definitely be boasting by now.
Reading Takumi's message made Chika even more frustrated.
Fujiwara Chika: [I drowned!!] [Waaa, my points!!] [Don't ask what I got. I'm too upset!!]
Tears flowed.
Her precious points were gone just like that.
Houraisan Kaguya: [Looks like she got something really embarrassing.] [Otherwise, she wouldn't be too ashamed to even name it.]
Kaguya understood.
It had to be something awkward.
That's why she wouldn't even say the name.
Takumi: [Let me guess... was it another pair of Balenciagas??]
Fujiwara Chika: [Shut up!!] [I'm logging out. Not talking to you anymore!!] [o(╥﹏╥)o]
And with that, she exited the group chat.
She didn't want to discuss it any further.
Takumi chuckled.
He was pretty sure he'd guessed right.
"What a pity."
"She won't even show me the black stockings!"
He looked disappointed.
Just then, Lilia and Ophis walked in.
Lilia overheard Takumi's comment.
She paused.
Then her gaze shifted.
So Takumi prefers black now?
Not white anymore?
Hmm... maybe it's time to try a new style.
"Huh?" "You're back?"
Takumi turned and saw the two entering.
"Yeah... We're back." "We've finished our tour." "Such different styles."
Lilia and Ophis sat beside Takumi.
And began telling him what they discovered this time.
