#6

“Ugh… Thank you, Panda!”

I blew hand kisses frantically toward the panda.

Despite cleaning so intensively yesterday, the filthy state of those beddings hadn’t improved at all, which had me worried.

Honestly, they were at a level that should have been in a garbage dump.

“Hehe, this is a huge success.”

The other items also seemed like they’d be useful someday, even if not right now.

No, if the Normal and Rare tickets gave me this much…

I quietly looked down at the item window.

[Special Ticket x1]

Just what kind of amazing item is this going to give me?

I barely suppressed my expectations that had shot up to the upper atmosphere and firmly pressed the panda’s front paw.

When I pressed the front paw, the Special ticket transformed into a bamboo shoot.

<Panda: “Wooong, delicious bamboo shoot!”>

Along with the panda’s joyful voice, the panda’s body flashed with light.

“Ugh, so, so bright…!”

I squeezed my eyes shut at the tremendous display of light that could have cost me my vision.

[<System> Congratulations! You have obtained a Legendary (SSS) Ancient Item!]

-ITEM: Aqua Mystica

A legendary item said to have been used by ancient guardians.

Grade: SSS+

Ability: ???

This item contains the power of ancient mystical spirits.

It is a mysterious item whose usage and abilities are not recorded in any ancient texts.

I slowly opened my eyes at the system’s cheerful voice.

‘This is insane. A legendary item? Am I, who got possessed into a game, really overpowered?’

At this ‘HUGE! SUC! CESS!’ energy that seemed to have concentrated all the luck of my life, I even got teary-eyed.

With a face full of anticipation, I finally faced the legendary item that had settled into my grasp and was radiating light in all directions. As the cluster of light gradually faded, what I saw was…

“Th-this is the legendary item?”

The legendary item said to have been used by ancient guardians exuded a more beautiful and mystical atmosphere than I had imagined.

The round body that shone brilliantly in gold was like a spoonful of moonlight floating on a calm lake, and the gracefully curved waist formed an inseparable harmony with the fresh blue-green stem adorned with colorful petals and thorns.

Moreover, the gems embedded here and there added their own purpose, creating a sparkling optical illusion as if spirits were flying around the item, giving it the legitimacy befitting the name of a legendary item.

Having examined this legendary SSS-grade item up close from every angle, I finally became certain.

Yes, this is…

“Just a watering can!”

And a very, extremely, incredibly, tremendously, exceptionally pretty watering can at that.

[<System> The thrilling Lucky Gacha service is now ending.]

As if it couldn’t see me frozen in place with a dumbfounded expression, the system mercilessly ended the gacha service.

“W-wait a minute. System Administrator! System window!”

I hurriedly called out for the system window, but it remained quiet as if nothing had happened.

This was truly a life-or-death crisis.

I thought only an overpowered path would unfold before me with an SSS legendary weapon.

But this… this…

‘It is a mysterious item whose usage and abilities are not recorded in any ancient texts.’

“Aw come on, at least tell me how to use it before you go!”

My voice, filled with resentment, echoed across the vast field.

I should have known – I was being too lucky for someone with terrible luck like me.

“Sigh…”

I let out a light sigh.

‘No, but it’s still SSS-grade, so it must be useful somehow, right?’

I decided to desperately activate my hope circuits and carefully set down the legendary watering can called ‘Aqua Mystica…’ that had been pointlessly sparkling.

“First, let’s start digging…”

That was a fairly rational decision.

I had to think about the child I was responsible for. Even now, Ruby was looking only at me.

“Huff huff huff huff! Kyuu~!”

“…Yeah, you look happy.”

Unlike me who had finished my solemn resolution, watching Ruby rolling around in the field and becoming a dirt-covered earth dog, I momentarily felt the loneliness of a breadwinner and quietly opened the item window.

“Let’s see… It’s convenient that I can store them in the item window without having to carry them around. But how do I take them out?”

Let’s try clicking first.

I clicked on the Vegetable Garden Kit with my hand.

Pop!

Then with a pop sound, a box appeared before my eyes, sparkling.

It was a box containing the Vegetable Garden Kit.

“Wow, so this is how it comes out? Amazing, it’s really like a game, isn’t it?”

Of course, this actually is inside a game.

“Then the Crop Seed Set too…”

I paused my hand that was about to click on the Crop Seed Set.

Unlike the Vegetable Garden Kit which had a kind description of what was inside, the Crop Seed Set had no such explanation.

‘Why isn’t this one described? Don’t tell me it’s random…?’

I stared at the item window with increasingly anxious eyes.

What if it contained deadly poison that would make me high-five the grim reaper the moment I consumed it, or strange crops that eat people?

“…Once it goes into my stomach, it’s all the same anyway.”

It’s better than starving.

With the mindset of ‘even if I can’t eat it, whatever,’ I clicked on the Crop Seed Set.

[<System> Would you like to open the Crop Seed Set (Random)?] [ YES ] [ NO ]

My intuition was spot on.

Random, random, random again. Can’t they just give me something normal?

“…Please! Give me something edible, System Administrator!”

I pressed YES with my hands clasped together in prayer, filled with earnest hope.

[<System> Here are the results of the (Random) Crop Seed Set.]

-Wish Seeds (100 pieces)

These seeds, imbued with the magic of the Forest’s guardian, will transform into the desired crop when planted with the user’s ‘wish.’

-Rare Crop Seeds (20 pieces)

These seeds will randomly grow into crops with special abilities.

“What’s this, plant them with a wish and they transform into the desired crop…?”

After checking the random results, I was overwhelmed with tremendous self-loathing.

Self-loathing about why I hadn’t moved my fingers faster!

My heart, which had fallen to rock bottom with the watering can, became grand once again.

“Ruby, we don’t have to worry about starving to death.”

“Kyuuu!”

Yes, yes, you’re happy too, right? I suppressed my highly elevated emotions and picked up the shovel.

[<System> Zoe Blanc, you have completed the ‘My Own Vegetable Garden Project!’ Quest.]

-Reward: Title! You have acquired ‘Beginner Farmer.’

A beginner farmer with accumulated farming experience. (Crop growth speed +10%, harvest yield +10%)

-Stamina, Strength, Agility, Magic Power, and Luck increase by +5.

“I gave it my all…”

Time flew by as I planted various crops in the vegetable garden and dug with the shovel.

This was like déjà vu. It was the same scene as the first day.

“Now I need to water them… Come to think of it, why wasn’t there a watering can in the vegetable garden set?”

No matter how thoroughly I searched through the box, I couldn’t find any trace of a watering can.

At this rate, all my efforts up until now would go to waste.

“…Is there no other choice?”

I muttered quietly while looking at the fancy scrap metal—no, the Aqua Mystica—sitting majestically on the ground.

“….”

Well, that’s still a watering can….

I’m probably the only person who would use a legendary weapon as a watering can, but I have no choice.

Just when I thought this problem was solved, I ran into yet another major obstacle.

What do you need to water the vegetable garden with a watering can? Water, of course.

But this abandoned cabin has no plumbing facilities, and even the water that had been stored in the storehouse was all used up yesterday for cleaning and cooking.

Sigh…. Solve one problem and another one appears.

Is this the law of yin and yang?

“Huff huff huff, kyuu?”

Just then, Ruby, who had become a rabbit-dog, approached me and tilted her head.

I couldn’t bring myself to hug Toby—no, Ruby—so I gently petted her head while venting my frustrations.

“…Ruby, your big sister ate barely anything and spent the whole day digging, so I lost muscle mass.”

“Kyuu…?”

“Why did I wake up in an abandoned cabin without even plumbing facilities and end up suffering like a dog?”

There’s nothing here. Oh, there used to be? No, there’s just nothing….

As I petted Ruby frantically while feeling sorry for myself, Ruby seemed to think deeply about something, then grabbed my pant leg with her mouth and started leading me somewhere.

“R-Ruby. What’s wrong?!”
