145 Chapter 143 ~ Spirit Sword Sovereign
"Terminus… Est? What is this?"
The first, and most brightly shining item he received from the gacha, was a beautiful one-handed longsword with two sky blue diamonds embedded on each side of the blade. Its hilt was wrapped by an azure-colored silk and cotton cords, while a beautiful, cerulean crystal served as its pommel.
It was… a truly beautiful longsword. Enough that Yuuji couldn't help but stare at it for a few moments in a complete daze.
But soon, he quickly snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
He then pressed the SR item to look at its description.

"This is… Really amazing…"
Yuuji truly couldn't believe what he was reading… His [Lucky] trait was broken as he expected…!
This… This was the greatest sword he could've asked for!
Although it doesn't have that much "offensive" skills aside from its Spirit Blast, as someone who lacks the ability to heal himself, having a sword with a spell that could heal himself, like the "Spirit's Blessing", was extremely useful.
Moreover, with its "Spirit Sword Sovereign" and "Spirit Sword Empress" traits, he'll always have the advantage against sword wielding enemies. In addition to his Swordsmanship Proficiency, he would be peerless in a sword fight.
The "Spirit Blast" skill will also help him greatly with dealing against enemies at range. And with its damage linked to his magical capabilities, its guaranteed to deal a tremendous amount of damage.
"It even has a second form that improves its abilities even more…"
Yuuji really couldn't wait to hold this beautiful sword in his hand and use it.
In fact, he'd love to swing it around and test out his abilities now. However, doing it here, in his home, wasn't an option if he didn't want to bring down his house along with the rest of the neighborhood.
It was a shame. But his disappointment didn't last long when he saw the rest of the items he got.
In fact… he was stupefied by the things he saw next.
"Eh…? 10% shares of THL… Is… iIs this real…?"
THL Group was a German multinational package delivery and supply chain management company which extended their delivery services to the entire world. It was one of, if not, the largest worldwide logistics company in the world worth tens of billions of Euros.
And one of the two rare items he received was a 10% share in such a massive company. And this 10% alone was enough to make him the youngest billionaire in the world with unimaginable influence.
It essentially gave him the reins to a major part of the logistics in the world.
But this wasn't even the better one of the two.
The second rare item he received… was a 10% share in Alpha, a multinational technology conglomerate holding company headquartered in Mountain View, California, worth 1.7 trillion dollars…
Some may not recognize the company, as most would only recognize its subsidiary; Google.
This rare item alone had made him one of the richest and most powerful men in the world.
"I never expected to get these kinds of things… If we didn't take the SSR into consideration, isn't this pull even better than my last two gacha pulls?"
Receiving Terminus Est alone was already enough to make this roll amazing. But to get these two companies as well… He really couldn't believe his luck.
Was his [Lucky] trait just this good? Or did it bug out somehow…?
"Even the proficiencies and common ranked items are nice too…"
Management. Instinct. Massage. And Dessert Making. Although only the first two would help him with missions and his business, Yuuji didn't mind receiving the later two as well.
After all, with those two proficiencies, he could treat his family and girlfriends to some pleasurable massages or delicious treats, which they knew they'd definitely love.
As for the common-ranked items, he had received the world's most expensive and luxurious set of Espresso machine, a set of five Luxurious Purin Pudding, and a bottle of luxurious wine named Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1945.
The Espresso machine, he knew, Aika would definitely appreciate. He wouldn't mind if she took this espresso machine for her cafe and elevated her cafe business. While the Luxurious Purin Pudding set would definitely be enjoyed by the girls.
As for the wine… Well, since Mira and Aika were the only ones in the household that could drink alcohol legally, perhaps they'll love to try it.
With these items coming out on his first roll… He didn't even consider rerolling them and accepted them immediately.
"Wow… This was such a lucky pull…"
Yuuji shook his head, still unable to believe his luck.
Then, he felt the two slimes jumping up and down his shoulders.
"Ah, thank you, you two."
Yuuji smiled softly and petted the two adorable slime girls before returning to the group chat telling them the items he received.
Kiryuu Aika: "What?! That's amazing!!! How could you get so lucky?"
Chiba Erika: "Seriously… What's with this luck?"
C.C: "Wow… I wonder if I'll get this lucky as well since I have the Lucky Trait as well…"
Shiba Tatsuya: "Congratulations, Yuuji."
Lelouch Lamperouge: "Your luck truly knows no bounds, huh…?"
Suzuki Satoru: "Wow… Although there's no SSR, this is definitely an insane pull… I've never seen anyone with this kind of luck before…"
Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Thank you, everyone… Seriously, I got super lucky this time. I can't even believe it."
Yuuji smiled wryly and finally took a seat on his bed as strength left his body, recovering from his shock.
Kiryuu Aika: "Hey hey~ Can I be your sugar baby, Yuuji~? I'm super hot, you know~? You can do anything to this body if you treat me to nice stuff~"
Yuuji deadpanned when he read this message, which oozes sexuality and pervertedness. She must be creating an entire lewd scenario again in her head and role playing as a sugar baby of an extremely rich man who'd sell her body for money.
Chiba Erika: "O-Oi! What are you saying in front of everyone?!"
Tsubakihara Yuuji: "Hah… Aika, you're already my girlfriend. Why would you want to be a sugar baby…?"
Kiryuu Aika: "Tehe~ I was just joking~"
Kiryuu Aika: "Ah~ So I'm now the richest man's girlfriend huh~ Fufufu~ I'm definitely going to brag about this~"
Yuuji shook his head when he read Aika's message.
He could already imagine what kind of chaos Aika would cause in her school for bragging about this.
Chiba Erika: "Well, Aika's weirdness aside. You're definitely lucky. You basically surpassed all major families in Japan in an instant when it comes to wealth. Even the 10 master clans doesn't have that much global influence."
I wonder what Mayumi would think when our boyfriend became the world's richest in his world.
Erika couldn't help but muse.
Suzuki Satoru: "Yeah, even in my world, if you have control over such a massive and important industry, you could easily influence the entire world…! Even buying out the company that made Yggdrasil and creating a sequel would be as easy as lifting a finger."
Tsubakihara Yuuji: "That… might be so. But there's no need for you to play the sequel, right Satoru-san? After all, you're going to enjoy that world in reality."
Suzuki Satoru: "A-Ahahaha, you're right. Sorry, I just instinctively said it…"
Kiryuu Aika: "Oh by the way! I want to hear stories! What did you guys do during the mission?"
A festive atmosphere then quickly returned as they began telling about the mission they just went on and the twists and turns they had to experience.
But, just as he was having fun chatting with his friends, a call came to his phone.
It was an unknown number, which caught him by surprise for a moment.
He cautiously picked up the phone, ready to hang up the moment he found out it was a prank call or a scam.
But the next words that came from the voice over the phone shocked him to the core.
"Greetings, Mr. Yuuji Tsubakihara. I apologize for the sudden call. Are you currently busy?"
It was a man who spoke in English, and Yuuji did not recognize the voice. He sounded like a middle aged man with a deep, authoritative, yet kind voice.
"Greetings. May I know who I am speaking with?"
Yuuji replied in perfect English, that shocked the man on the other side of the phone. And it wasn't only his ability to speak English so fluently with barely an accent. It was the fact that he sounded… very young.
"Apologies for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Toby Mayers, the Chief Executive Officer of the THL Group. I have called you on this occasion to give my greetings to the largest shareholder, second only after the Government of Germany."
Yuuji's eyes widened in shock upon realizing the identity of the man on the other side of the call.
However, with his acting, leadership, and management proficiencies which turned him into the ultimate leader, he replied calmly without a delay.
"I see. Thank you very much for sparing your valuable time to greet me, Mr. Mayers. It is a pleasure and honor."
"The honor and pleasure is mine Mr. Tsubakihara. However… forgive my presumptuousness, I didn't expect you to sound so young. May I ask how old you are, Mr. Tsubakihara."
"It is fine, Mr. Mayers. I understand why you would be so shocked. I am currently 16 years old."
"16 years old…?!"
Yuuji could hear the obvious disbelief and shock through his voice. He seemed to have also moved his face away from the phone.
He could only chuckle as he imagined what kind of face the CEO of THL Group was making right now.
"I apologize, but it is… just too shocking. While age does not equate to one's capability, I believe experience does. And to think you were capable of having 10% of THL Group at such a young age… I am truly impressed."
"Mr. Mayers, while I may be less experienced than most, I am blessed with the capability and fortune to be able to reach this height."
"Of course. I understand."
Yuuji's voice lowered ever so slightly as he gave each and every one of his words a depth and gravitas that wasn't enough to be intimidating, but clear and heard. And as an experienced man in the field of business, Toby Mayers noticed the slight shift in tone of the young, yet clearly not ordinary young man who held the reins of the THL group in his hand.
But in the next moment, the tone of his voice returned to be light, and the heavy atmosphere that began weighing down on the middle-aged man disappeared.
"However, I am in agreement with your belief. And I believe, as one with much more experience in this field, it will be a fine decision to leave the management of THL to you."
Toby's eyes immediately widened in delight and surprise, as a smile quickly returned to his face.
"Thank you very much for the trust you have given me, Mr. Tsubakihara. I shall not disappoint you."
"I hope you won't. However, while I may not be too hands-on with the management, I would like to reserve the ability to receive the assistance of the THL group in case I need it in the future."
"Of course. Anytime, Mr. Tsubakihara. We shall do our best to assist you in anyway possible at that time."
"Thank you. Is that all, Mr. Mayers?"
"Yes. Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Tsubakihara. Then, I shall excuse myself."
"Likewise. It has been a pleasure."
Yuuji hung up as the call ended, and he let out a deep sigh of relief. He truly didn't expect to speak with such a global bigshot so suddenly.
Thankfully, all his proficiencies helped him get through such a stressful conversation with a bigshot smoothly. And now, he was able to have the THL group in his hands and not be too involved with its day to day work.
This was a win-win situation for himself and everyone else.
And with this out of the way, he could relax and return to the group chat and talk with his friends.
*Ring* *Ring*
"..."
Just then, another call came to his phone. It was yet another unknown phone number. And when he took it…
"Greetings, Mr. Yuuji Tsubakihara. My name is Sudharaja Puchita, the CEO of Alpha. It is an honor and pleasure to be your acquaintance."
Not again…
Yuuji let out a sigh, and the mask of his Super CEO self shifted in place.
