Chapter 10: March 1st – March 31st Payday
Ever since March, I’ve been seriously thinking about one thing... I really, really need money. Like, desperately. Because I want to pull more Gacha.
Right now, I’ve got all these abilities that normal people don’t have. I wasn’t exactly a genius to begin with, but I’ve got this skill called “Calculation Boost” that literally speeds up my brain. Honestly, my memory’s improved so much I could probably pass tough exams—lawyer, accountant, whatever. Seriously, I feel like I could do it now!
The most efficient way for me—after hours of scratching my head—to earn money... it’s...
Anyway, gotta do tons of part-time jobs! That’s the plan!
...weird... "computational acceleration" doesn't seem to be helping much... oh well, whatever. Gotta find a quick cash job from the job ads.
Filling in for sorting, stocking, packing, opening shifts at food places—stuff I could do right away and earn money from—piled it all in, crammed it all in, after construction work ended, or on weekends, whenever I could.
Result......
Exhausted… completely drained…
I was completely wrecked—mentally and physically—so I decided to call it quits on this whole thing. But by mid-March, I somehow managed to scrape together 140,000 yen.
After pulling the Gacha 14 times... it finally came out...

Healing Magic activated!
Knew it was there, but still… yeah, it’s here. If I get hurt… or someone else does… I can use this to heal.
I tried it on myself, thinking it’d restore my stamina… but apparently, it’s got nothing to do with that.
And the one and only SR “Imitation”... supposedly lets you copy an opponent’s techniques, their fighting style... but it’s still not clicking... not really...
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
March 31st, payday. Winter’s over. It’s getting warm. This winter, thanks to “Cold Resistance,” I didn’t feel the cold much at all. Proof my skill’s actually useful.
Last month, February, had fewer workdays, so this month I only have 130,000 yen... damn, that's the struggle of being hourly wage labor.
I pulled the Gacha thirteen times.

Blessing! Seems to boost luck stat... Wish I’d had this earlier... If I’d had this, chances of pulling an SR or SSR might’ve been higher...
Plus, when I鉴定 it, it says “resists mental attacks and also builds tolerance to stress and such”—sounds like the ultimate skill in today’s world, right? Gotta get as many of these as possible.
A职业 popped up—“Assassin.” Kinda violent, huh. Summing up all the status changes so far...
