Chapter 9

"First SSR Item Acquisition"

While I was sighing at Aegis's incompetence, a system message arrived. It seems that an achievement was unlocked because I had acquired an SSR item for the first time. I opened the achievement list to check the details.

"First SSR Item Acquisition"

An achievement given to users who successfully acquire an SSR item for the first time.

It's quite lucky to get an SSR item. We look forward to your future activities.

Reward

10 Gacha Coins

...How stingy. Isn't there something more?

Usually, when achievements are unlocked, more varied rewards are given, right? This management is too cheap.

If they had money to add floating functions to origami and such gacha and system windows, they could have returned more to us users, couldn't they?

The materialized coins were 10 in number. They were plain white coins with no particular features.

Well, let's spin the gacha. I can spin it 10 times, and as a bonus, I get a guaranteed R or higher item.

There's a concept called the "desire sensor" in the world. It's the idea that the things you want don't come.

However, I am negative about such thinking. The desire to want something attracts it.

So come, food!

Clank

R "Next-Generation Prosthetic Leg (Right Leg)"

A rather mechanical black prosthetic leg, with "USA" written on the side, suggesting it was made in America. However, this is more like a robot's right leg, with thick cables extending from what looks like a battery. It feels very manly. It's quite heavy when I pick it up, but since I have all my limbs, I don't need it. Next.

UC "Persian Carpet"

A colorful carpet materialized on the floor. When I lay down on it, it's very soft and comfortable. It's a high-quality item, and my living standards have improved with the Persian carpet.

I used to live on cardboard because the floor was cold, but now I can say goodbye to that life. It's a good one. Next.

C "Grilled Chicken Skin with Sauce"

Grilled chicken skin in a paper bag. Unlike the chicken from the first day, it wasn't hot, but it was very delicious. The sauce is a valuable source of calories, so I licked it all off, leaving only the skewer.

If I could be picky, I would have preferred a thigh, but I can't be too greedy.

C "Manga for Understanding the Shinsengumi"

A manga series for understanding history, like those found in school libraries. This is the Shinsengumi edition. I'm getting tired of reading the third-level accounting textbook, so this is a pleasant surprise.

C "Dustpan"

A green dustpan, the large kind often found in school cleaning supplies.

However, this room is a completely white space with not a speck of dust. There's no broom, so I don't plan to use it as a dustpan for now.

I used it as a trash can to put the chicken and salmon packs.

UC "Ammonite Fossil"

Surprisingly, not just the ammonite fossil appeared, but it came with a display case and stand, just like in a museum. The stand had wheels, making it mobile, and I placed it in a corner of the room.

R "Elevator"

It appeared in the wall with a loud thud. It has a luxurious feel, like something you'd find in a high-end business building.

I tried to press the elevator button to enter, but instead of the usual '↑' and '↓' buttons, there was only an 'Open' button. I pressed it, and the door opened, so I went inside.

Inside, I tried to press a button, but there was only a '1' button.

In other words, it can't move anywhere.

Since there's nothing to do, I went back out.

The power source is unknown.

HR "Flag"

Not a small handheld flag, but a large one like those used in school sports festivals. It's a red flag with no particular pattern. However, the tip is very sharp, making it usable as a weapon.

When I touched it, a system window expanded.

● Flag

A flag to boost morale.

Grants 'Fear Resistance,' 'Bravery,' and 'Morale Boost' effects to the wielder and party members.

The game-like details, similar to Aegis, were revealed.

To speculate, weapons and armor that can be equipped might be explained in such system windows.

In any case, these weapon-type items are treated specially by the system. They are considered very important, unlike other junk.

Perhaps there will come a time when these items are needed. That would mean some kind of conflict.

What exactly does the management intend to make us do?

R "Maneki-neko (Beckoning Cat)"

A tricolor maneki-neko. It seems to be made of pottery, with a caution label inside the hollow part. But is this an R item?

I think it should be a C-class item. What criteria are used to determine the rarity in this gacha?

C "Hanger"

A hanger made of black wire.

I hung my pajamas on it, but since there's nothing to hang it on, I put it on the floor.

So far, only the "Persian Carpet" and "Grilled Chicken" have been useful.

A 20% hit rate. Is this low?

But there's still a bonus!

Come on!

R "Type 92 7.7mm Machine Gun"

It exudes a metallic smell and has a ruggedness that doesn't seem to fit on modern Aegis ships.

There are no power sources or cables, so I speculate it's a Japanese military weapon.

It materialized with a sound unlike anything before, creating a very ominous atmosphere.

Upon investigation, there are no bullets, so it can't do anything.

However, this gacha is quite inconsistent or something.

Can't they narrow down the genres a bit? Too many things are coming out. It's impossible to predict what will appear.

It's like a blind pot.

Can something be done about this?
