On the train, I focused on what I wanted to do and tapped the 'Gacha-1' screen. The moment I did, a change appeared on my smartphone screen.
Gacha-0 🎰
Acquired: 1 Bread roll 🥐 🍞
"What?! What is this? The gacha value has dropped to 0. Does that mean I can only use it once? If it's at 0 now, does that mean I can't use it again?"
Could it really be a one-time thing? No, wait. Normally in games, the gacha resets after a day. Surely it's not a once-in-a-lifetime skill.
More importantly, what did I just win? Bread roll 1?
I've never seen that in a Gacha game before.
And what am I supposed to do with it? Normally, you'd tap it to use it or collect it, right?
Cautiously, I tapped "Bread roll 1" on the screen.
"Ohhhh-!"
Suddenly, a bread roll materialized in front of me, and the "Bread roll 1" indicator disappeared from the collection column.
"No, seriously? It's a bread roll. Yes, no matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary bread roll."
To be honest, it was kind of lame. A single piece of bread roll appeared. That's it. But at the same time, it was amazing - bread roll just appeared out of my smartphone!
In a way, it felt like I had become a magician.
My heart was racing at the sheer absurdity of it all. Without thinking, I grabbed the bread roll and stuffed it into my mouth.
"It's delicious. Much better than what I usually eat."
I'd assumed it was just a simple roll, but the taste was extraordinary.
The aroma alone was enough to make my stomach growl. The sweetness and flavor were indescribable. Without question, this was the best bread roll I had ever eaten.
"Perhaps my skill allows me to obtain exquisite ingredients?"
I wasn't sure yet, but if that was the case, it wasn't a bad skill.
If I could get delicious ingredients on a regular basis, it felt like I'd hit the jackpot in a very practical way.
I remembered a post about someone who could use a lightning sword. But honestly, in peaceful Japan, what would you do with a lightning sword anyway?
Compared to that, my skill seemed much more useful.
I suppressed my excitement and hurried home.
"Mom! Listen to me! I can use my skills now!"
As soon as I entered the house, I told my mother the shocking news.
"......"
"Isn't it amazing? I was able to make delicious bread!"
"Mikado-kun, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine! I can now use my skills to make bread rolls! It's incredible!"
"Mikado-kun, maybe you've been studying too hard. Did you take some strange medicine or something?"
"No, no, what are you talking about, Okaasan?"
"You don't understand, Mikado-kun. Himawari, what should we do? Your Onii-chan is acting weird."
"Onii-chan, are you sure you're okay?"
"No, Himawari, listen! Your Onii-chan has become a wizard! Isn't that amazing? Bang, bang!"
"Onii-chan, where is the bread roll you're talking about?"
"Uh... I ate it."
"Okaasan, maybe we should take him to the hospital."
"That sounds like a good idea."
My mother and sister Himawari completely ignored the meaning of what I'd just told them. I had learned to use a skill to make delicious bread rolls and here they were, acting like I was the weird one.
It was amazing enough to turn the world upside down, and yet no one seemed to believe me!
