55 – Chapter 55 – Otherworld Gacha Gallery
The Gallery Auction House was opened and the world changed.
A world where the panties someone was wearing were sold at a high price, and fur clumps from a Purrie were sold as luxury goods as a matter of course.
The tidal wave-like trend covered the continent and despite the constant changes, there was not a single country that could avoid its influence.
“Sell, sell.”
“This is?”
“Everything left from the roots of the World Tree, throw them all.”
“Let’s sell ours a bit more upscale by packaging them nicely.”
“Oh… is that how?”
Even in Ardel, the furthest removed from the continent’s political situation, they were selling roots from the World Tree that were of low quality or had lost their value.
They even processed the roots into tea bags!
There was no difference in other countries, everything left over and anything that could be sold for money, they sold.
Artifacts, magical scrolls, leaves and roots of the world-tree (low quality), clumps of fur, blood for research, weapons, accessories, and so on.
Money is like a printout. Not selling anything would be foolish.
Any items that seemed sellable and the confident products all flooded to the auction house.
Someone sells. Someone buys!
Even Mageros couldn’t avoid the impact.
While others were earning money by selling goods and leading a lavish life.
The demons of Mageros slowly began to feel dissatisfied.
“What can we sell?”
“Pop some popcorn if there’s nothing else.”
The war for the Devil’s throne and constant internal conflicts. Lands lost due to dense magic contamination.
All these conditions worked against Mageros’s favor.
There was neither abundant food in Mageros nor anything worth selling.
The best thing they could do was having superior physical strength compared to other races.
Should they cut off and sell the horns that grew from their heads?
That’s the pride of the demons…! If it broke, it broke, but it shouldn’t break by itself.
For these reasons, Mageros only grew poorer.
While others are trading, making money, getting wealthy, and eating chicken.
Feeling gratitude not to starve doesn’t sit right.
But someone saw a glimmer of light within the darkness.
The news of the auction house opening meant an opportunity to make money.
There’s a way to make money even in the underground forced labor facilities.
In the desolate land. Someone in Mageros recognized the opportunity to earn big bucks.
“Can this be converted to money?”
“Humph. You’re naive. If you call it trash, people will hesitate, but if you put a label ‘random box’ at an appropriate price, will go crazy for it?
“Random box…? People pay for this kind of trash?”
“Listen carefully. From now on, we are not selling trash.”
“Then…?”
“What we’re selling is ‘Hope.’”
【Seed of Mageros Plant Random Box】
─I don’t know what’s inside.
─Immediate purchase price: 10 silver.
It would be the hope that saves Majeros.
A new scummy gacha, whose odds even the sellers don’t know, was released.

Upon hearing the report that a carriage stamped with the royal seal had arrived in the capital, Beatrice went out to meet it.
How difficult and hard it must have been for Judica, who had done a lot of work in the Empire.
As the carriage door opened, Judica, whose face had changed to half, walked out with difficulty.
“Your Majesty… How are you….”
“W-What… Why in the world…”
“Ugh… I fell for the Emperor’s cunning.”
What on earth happened!
Beatrice sent him a pitiful look while stroking his cheek.
Feeling so sorry for him, she softly embraced Judica’s face.
If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have let him go.
While Beatrice and Judica shared their touching reunion,
The warrior, Kai, who was late to get out, secretly looked at Judika clinging to his chest.
“Your Majesty. It’s not the Emperor’s cunning, it’s ordinary seasickness.”
“So that’s why. His face turned half… Let’s have him recover with a potion first.”
“Yes.”
The queen handed him a potion she pulled out of her pocket.
Her gaze then moved towards the carriage Judica had been in.
Expensive-looking gold and silver treasures kept coming out.
How much could they be worth?
It took quite a while for the soldiers to unload all the luggage.
“You’ve done a lot.”
“No, it’s just what I had to do. Since I eat and live in the palace. Please take them, Your Majesty.”
“The palace life isn’t worth that much….”
If I used this money for palace living expenses, how long could I last? 50 years? A lifetime?
A lifetime…
Beatrice held it to her lips for a moment, then emptied her mind.
This was not the place for fantasies.
She decided to save, not spend, the money she had received from Judic. She led them towards the palace.
“Shall we go in?”
“Hoo… feels like coming home.”
“I’m glad you think so.”
Beatrice smiled faintly, with happiness.
That implied Judic was comfortable with life in the palace.
She had a faint hope that he would continue to feel at ease.
Before entering the palace.
Judic paused for a moment.
“Is there something wrong?”
“No, it’s because of this.”
When did he pick this up?
What Judic had in his hand was a small potted plant.
“A plant…?”
“Ah, I bought this on the way here.”
“On the way…?”
“They were selling random boxes at the gallery? I bought one right away.”
The breadcrumbs he had picked up from the gallery must have been this.
The potted plant Judic had purchased looked, for all intents and purposes, ordinary.
“How about you purchase one too, Your Majesty?”
“…Excuse me?”
“I can gift you one.”
“A gift… Yes, that sounds nice. I would thankfully accept.”
When Judic twirled his hand in thin air, a new item smoothly appeared.
A small packaged box, within which lay a tiny seed.
Beatrice took it as if it were a precious object, with great care.
She had received countless gifts in her life, but this was the first time she was aware of the fact that a man was giving it to her.
She cradled the seed she had received delicately in both hands.
“Then we should plant this.”
“I was thinking of planting it in the palace garden, is that alright?”
“Yes. There’s a lot of space in the backyard garden, so we can use that.”
When they went to the backyard, there was a patch of vacant land in one corner of the garden.
Beatrice planted the seed in the ground, moistening it with magic.
“Ah. How about you, hero?”
“I’ve been thinking as well, which would be better: a seed or a nut?”
“You can buy either.”
“I’ll go with a seed.”
The hero also bought a seed and planted it, pronounced a blessing over it.
The toad placed the plant pot with the buried seed next to them.
After all, it would take time for the seed to germinate and become a wonderful flower.
“Grow big and strong.”
The toad also watered it and named it.
Good. from today, your name is Olivia.
The next day…
Olivia, which grew unusually fast, became a massive vine and engulfed the surroundings.
Kids grow up so fast these days.
It’s become a gigantic body trying to eat the garden.
“You’ve grown too well, Olivia. I… now have no wishes…”
“Step back, toad. I’ll handle this”.
“Ack.”
“I’ll solve this… before it turns the surroundings into a jungle.”
The hero drew his sword and held it firm.
Assuming a stance and lightly releasing a breath, the vine was split in half in an instant.
“Oliiiviiiaaa!!”
Rest in peace, Olivia (0 years old, Vine)
The cold, lifeless body was reduced to ashes by Beatrice’s magic.
The toad built a small grave for Olivia.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Toad. Your dear plant…”
“There’s no other way. I’ll have to buy one more.”
This time, I will grow a more splendid plant.
“Oh, I have a good feeling about this one.”
I can always grow more plants.
As tiny sprouts begin to grow in the backyard and garden of the kingdom.
The craze began to spread all over the continent.
“What will this turn out to be if I grow it?”
“In the past, planting a seed grew a giant beanstalk that touched the sky.”
“What kind of seed is this?”
“Let’s plant it first and find out.”
“I watered the seed and a pineapple house appeared!”
“Purple tulips have grown?”
“Rare tulips…! I will buy them at a high price!”
The world became obsessed with the legalized gambling, gotcha.
***
The biggest headache of Majeros was the Forest of Chaos located at the farthest east.
It was contaminated with dense magical energy, making it impossible for most people to approach.
Long exposure could cause mutation.
Farming was impossible, and the heavy magical energy made hunting the local animals difficult.
It was an unproductive land that couldn’t even be used.
How should I manage this place?
The Forest of Chaos, which always caused me concerns, transformed into fertile land flowing with milk and honey overnight.
The seeds I had briefly buried could be resold for 10 silvers.
How could such a land be a headache!
Legal money duplication…!
The produced seeds were all sold at the gallery auction house.
Title) Bought a Seed

“Damn, lol, opening it is hard”
“It’s so hard to open it, what do I do with this?”

“Yeah, sometimes there are hard melon-breaking contests too.”

– Plant murderer, lol.
– Crazy bastards, lol.
“If you don’t like it, just kill them all, lol
Plant Druid) Plants are lives too,!!
Ah well, for a plant-loving elf, plants are a serious matter
It’s okay to kill elves, but you can’t touch plants, lol
Huh?
Really? I mean, plants are better than elves, lol
Honestly, I find plants more likable than elves.
Thinking about how well the elf cares for plants excites me, lol
This creature has me in tears at how well it breeds, lol
Damn, lol. What kind of vine did it grow, lol
Phew, lol. Looking at this elf’s plant-loving posts, I realized this is a real plant, lol
So, we only need to trust the plant-loving elf?
It’s likely that it could create a plant dictionary, lol
A genius at growing plants. The queen, having been called by the World Tree, is typical of rural farming.
Everyone pays attention to the posts of the elf plant-lover, Eris.
Eris discovered a suspicious plant.
“What is this…”
Hoping that her suspicion might be wrong, she smelled the leaves, only to feel certain.
“Why are there drugs…?”
It was a drug to be processed and smoked like tobacco.
