--- Chapter 28 ---
Three days later.
Yes, you heard that right.
Tamako took three days to make lucky charms for Tenma. One might think it was too long, but they are gravely mistaken, believing Tamako's lucky charms are ordinary.
There is nothing 'ordinary' about these lucky charms.
Even Hestia was a bit speechless.
Welp, spoiler aside.
...
Later that day, Tamako called Tenma to her room.
"Ma-kun, come here, come here~!" Tamako waved her hand and hurried Tenma to enter. A faint smile bloomed on her motherly expression.
Tenma could only smile back and walk into the room, sitting on the floor with an excited look. He has been waiting for this.
Tamako looked at her son's excited expression and giggled some more because it was rare to see him like this. Her son is unlike any child in this small village, and his interests are 'obviously' different from theirs.
However, Tenma rarely demands anything.
He understood her problem very well.
It was not until nine months ago that something changed.
Tenma becomes much more mature, accepting of social connections, and even becomes so close with girls. It makes Tamako feel old.
So, she was happy seeing him like this. Her one and only precious son!
"Kaa-chan, where are the lucky charms?" Tenma asked the million-dollar question.
Tamako covered her mouth and giggled, "Fufu. Before that, let Kaa-chan hug and kiss you for a while. Maa-kun has neglected Kaa-chan for a few months, and we have never cuddled anymore."
"It's so lonely, you know~?"
"So, Kaa-chan wanted an extra exclusive Ma-Kun Cuddling Right!"
Tenma was stunned. He didn't expect Tamako to feel this lonely and sad because she couldn't connect to him.
He thought she was fine all this time, but now.
Tamako and Tenma have been together for years. She has grown him all by herself and everything. To wrong Tamako like this is a gut punch for Tenma, which makes him feel horrible.
'Yes. I've been spending less and less time with Kaa-chan.' He felt guilty toward her.
"I..."
"I'm sorry, Kaa-chan."
"Don't be like that..." Tamako pulled him into a hug.
"Kaa-chan understands that Ma-kun has a dream, too."
"But sometimes it would be nice to spend time alone. Together. In this room or anywhere else quiet."
"Just two of us..."
Tamako's eyes flashed with a hint of possessiveness.
"Okay, let's spend time together more often, Kaa-chan..." Tenma sighed and hugged Tamako tightly, making the latter sigh in contentment.
After cuddling for half an hour, Tamako reluctantly let Tenma go and did what she said earlier.
'Ma-kun is so precious.'
'Ma-kun is so handsome.'
'Ma-kun...'
Smooch!
Tamako kissed Tenma's forehead twice and whispered, "That's for the lucky charms."
"If Ma-kun wants more lucky charms, Kaa-chan will ask for more, too."
"Mm..." Tenma nodded and didn't find anything odd with her.
Then, Tamako beamed and handed the lucky charms, excusing herself to do laundry in the backyard.
Tenma watched Tamako go and looked down at his hand, seeing three lucky charms made of different types of wood. Each is carved smoothly and wrapped with a soft cloth, signifying the mother's love for her son.
The first lucky charm is made of Willow wood carved with 'Good Health' characters on both sides and warped with green cloth, wishing Tenma a healthy body.
The second one is 'actually' made of Red Pine carved with 'Happiness' characters on the front and wrapped in yellow cloth, wishing Tenma eternal happiness.
The last is something that Tenma eyed for three days.
Made from gorgeous green wood and wrapped in white cloth, 'Good Luck' characters are carved from top to bottom, wishing Tenma everlasting luck in his current and future endeavors.
[H-How can this be...] Hestia's shaky voice echoed in Tenma's head.
[Tenma, your mother is abnormal!]
"What do you mean? Also, don't call Ka-chan like that." Tenma frowned slightly.
[Sorry, sorry. I mean no disrespect, but there is something special about your mother]
[Use your Eyes of Insight, and you will understand!]
All these days, Tenma didn't stay idle.
He used Karmic Exchange and exchanged a nifty observation skill: "Eyes of Insight (Common)" for 25k Good Karma.
It's Good Karma well spent as he could quickly raise the "Eyes of Insight" to Rare Grade by inspecting many things from ordinary rocks to rare katanas he got in Nobleman Kuri's Mansion.
Not only that, but the "Eyes of Insight" is also very compatible with Sharingan and allows him to elevate his combat ability.
The Eyes of Insight could be upgraded by simply using it repetitively.
Due to Tenma's excellent endurance and strong mental power, he used the Eyes of Insight more than a million times. He lost counts after two million.
Activating the Eyes of Insight, a set of information with a panel-like appearance appeared before Tenma's eyes.
"Damn..."

...
Tenma was speechless. "Strong. Too strong."
"How can a mortal like Kaa-chan possess this much power? No, it's not really her power, but overflowing mother's life for me..."
"To be loved like this. How wonderful." He sighed, thinking about his past life. The cold and inhumane Otsustuki Clan couldn't compare to Tamako's warm mother's love.
[Tenma, you're hitting the jackpot with a mother like her]
[+25 Luck Stats? That's outright mad!]
"You're right, Tia." Tenma nodded in understanding. Everyone born in this world possesses a 'certain' amount of luck. However, the average is about 5 Luck Stats.
Tenma didn't know how high his luck was. After reincarnation, he should have ten or more, which makes him two times luckier than your Average Joe.
Yet with this lucky charm, Tenma's luck shot to 35+ height, making him seven times luckier!
Tenma can bankrupt a casino with just his luck.
[Are you going to open the Mysterious Box now?]
[I'm excited now. I wanted to see what kind of treasures you could get with that lucky charm]
Tenma wished he could kiss Tamako, "You're the one saying that? I'm literally shaking right now."
"Anyway, let's open the Mysterious Box."
[Confirm?]
"Confirm."
[Opening the Mysterious Box...]
[You have hit a lucky strike and obtained 3 Items]
"Show it! Show them to me!" Tenma couldn't hold this suspense.
