Chapter 10: Eye of the Gods (Wind)

The distance between the RV and the work car was not far—just thirty meters.

This distance could be considered the greatest safety guarantee for the RV.

Nagi Sanzenin, Suzunomiya Icho, and Maria were all inside the RV.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Nagi Sanzenin loved games like lotteries the most.

She placed the diary on the bed, selected "Start Lottery," and a large spinning wheel appeared before her eyes.

She reached out and lightly touched the big wheel, and it began spinning rapidly.

Nagi Sanzenin watched the wheel anxiously, seeing it slow down bit by bit until it finally stopped at one position.

【Genshin】

The indicator at the top pointed to a name.

【Obtained the Eye of the Gods: Wind.】

When she saw those words and noticed a pendant with a gemstone materializing before her, Nagi Sanzenin's joy was almost unbearable.

"Maria! Look! I told you it was all true!"

Maria, witnessing this firsthand, was so stunned she momentarily lost her voice.

She had always assumed it was all just Nagi's delusion, but now it seemed the delusion might be real.

Suzunomiya Icho had already concentrated her spiritual energy into her eyes.

The moment Nagi touched the pendant, Icho saw a pale green wind begin to flow from the pendant onto Nagi's body—this power kept growing until it reached the level of a typical evil spirit, then stopped.

「The power is real. 」

「But all the power originates from the pendant—it absorbs external energy and transforms it into another form, condensing it onto Nagi. 」

Suzunomiya Icho confirmed the power was not fake, yet it seemed entirely derived from the pendant itself.

"Oh!"

As Nagi held the pendant, she felt as though she could now control the power of wind.

She did not immediately use the power, but turned her gaze to the diary.

Sure enough, a line of text appeared on the diary.

【Eye of the Gods (Wind): Watched by the gaze of the gods, the gods have granted affirmation and a blessing—a foreign magical organ capable of guiding elemental forces. The Eye of the Gods can absorb external energy, allowing its master to control elements.】

"So, the power I can control is… wind."

"Huhuhu!"

As Nagi spoke, invisible winds inside the RV began to take direction, swirling entirely around her.

"Oh!"

Nagi's eyes sparkled as she stared at the winds encircling her, barely believing they were all under her control.

She raised her hand and commanded the winds to gather into her palm.

"Huhuhu!"

The winds howling around Nagi coalesced into her hand like obedient children.

The condensed wind mass began to develop noticeable destructive power.

With a testing thought, Nagi gently brought her wind-filled hand toward the RV's wall.

"Sssss!"

As the condensed wind neared the RV's wall, it immediately emitted a sound like tearing metal.

Nagi pulled her hand away and was stunned to find a wound shaped like the wind mass on the RV's wall.

"Wow! So amazing!"

Nagi was first startled, then quickly revealed the glee of a child who had just found a toy.

Having lived a life of wealth beyond what most people could imagine, she had never before experienced anything like the protagonist's journey in an anime.

And now, at last, she had experienced it.

"Nagi, we're inside the RV—your thing might cause it to explode."

Suzunomiya Icho, watching nearby, felt she needed to intervene and gave the excited Nagi a basic lesson in common sense.

"!"

Nagi flinched, nearly dropping the wind mass from her hand—she barely managed to control it at the last moment.

Slowly, she guided the wind to dissipate bit by bit from her palm.

"Huh~"

It took nearly five minutes to fully disperse the wind, leaving Nagi thoroughly exhausted.

Yet even in her fatigue, she was wildly excited.

"Maria, I told you I wasn't lying before."

Even exhausted, Nagi couldn't help complaining to Maria.

"I never thought it would be real."

Indeed, Maria had never seen anything like this.

Nagi had truly gained extraordinary power—power far exceeding that of an ordinary person.

「If she can manipulate wind at will, Grandpa would be even more heartbroken if he found out. 」

「Nagi without power wouldn't listen to Grandpa; with power, she'll listen even less. 」

Just imagining Grandpa possibly crying, Maria felt a pounding headache.

But even more troubling to Maria was Nagi herself.

「Ah, Nagi's going to become even more of a headache from now on. 」

Maria had already clearly felt that she seemed unable to ever leave little Nagi's side; otherwise, the entire Sanzenin family would likely be thoroughly tossed into chaos by little Nagi.

One must remember that little Nagi had only just gained power through the diary for the first time.

Even with such power being granted so freely, it was hard to imagine whether little Nagi would obtain even more, even stronger powers in the future.

If little Nagi did not learn to control it, the trouble caused in the end might be even more severe than the status of the Sanzenin family heir.

"Little Nagi, gaining power is fine, but this pendant cannot be carelessly lost from now on."
