Chapter 66

"Uh... This is bad... What should I do..."

We successfully cleared the dungeon and managed to return home safely. It was genuinely heartwarming that we all made it back together.

However, as soon as we got home, I sat in a chair, rested my elbows on the table, and held my head.

"Lord Oogura is acting strange again."

"Well, it's usual for my brother to act strange, but this time it feels different."

"What's wrong with you, Oogura? Are you still in pain somewhere? If you tell me, I can heal you with magic?"

They, too, were sitting around the table, and after looking at my state, they each voiced their thoughts.

Nour and Estelle's comments about me were quite harsh. Am I really that strange all the time?

Sisha, who had explored the dungeon with me, seemed worried that I might have been injured. However, after clearing the dungeon, we all received her healing magic, so there were no injuries.

"Ah, no, no. It's the gacha."

"Hmm... Why does a gacha make you look so serious?"

"Well, it's you, brother. I thought it would be something like this, but your expression looks even heavier than usual."

"Indeed... It seems there was an announcement about a gacha after we cleared the dungeon, right? Wasn't it a Complete Gacha?"

The reason I was so troubled. It was because of the Complete Gacha announced after we cleared the dungeon.

Complete Gacha—this is a gacha where you have to draw all the specified items from the items that can be obtained from the gacha, and in return, you get a rare prize as a completion reward.

At first glance, it seems like a wonderful gacha where you can get a bonus while drawing.

"So, is this the kind of gacha that makes you look so serious?"

"Yeah, in my world, it was so crazy that it got regulated."

"Regulated... Was it that bad of a gacha?"

I don't know the details, but various problems arose, and ultimately, this type of gacha was regulated in the world I came from.

Even years after the regulation, this gacha is still often brought up. It was that much of a hot topic.

"Well, I got involved in it too, and it was a terrifying gacha... Living on bean sprouts was tough."

"I don't really understand, but it must be a really crazy gacha, right?"

It's almost a nostalgic story now. Before I started GC, I encountered it in the gacha of a game I was playing.

It was a gacha that forced me to use magic cards and end up in a situation where I had to pay in installments.

I spent 10,000 yen at first, got a few cards, and thought I could keep going, but it ended up costing me over 100,000 yen.

Since I was already spending a lot, I suddenly found myself short on money and had to cut back on food expenses. It's a bitter memory.

"If it's that traumatic, are you not going to do the gacha this time?"

"I wish I could... Ah, this management is really cruel."

Honestly, I want to skip this gacha. The 914 magic stones I have now are not enough.

However, the Complete Reward this time is making my heart waver.

Complete Reward—UR Luna Valdo.

Those words are gripping my heart and won't let go.

I never thought that Luna Valdo would be a target at such a crucial moment... Is this gacha trying to make me draw her no matter what?

The gacha that brought me to this world was the one I drew to get this girl.

A girl with the appearance of a young girl around Estelle's age and a character that's too cunning as a vampire. The chance to actually meet her... I can't help but waver.

I didn't know the details of her performance yet, but from the bulletin board, I knew she was a unit that combined close and long-range attacks. She would be a perfect addition to the firepower my current party lacks.

"But, getting a UR unit by drawing the gacha is quite generous, isn't it? In Lord Oogura's words, it's like getting a UR for free, right?"

"No, that logic is wrong. What are you saying?"

"Wh-What!? I don't want to hear that from you!?"

Nour is saying something I don't understand. When I say I'm strange, she suddenly starts waving her arms up and down in anger.

Why is she angry?

"So, are you going to draw the gacha?"

"Of course, I am. If not now, when? Something inside me is whispering that."

"That's a troublesome whisper... Well, I welcome it if you're going to draw! But, I'm worried about you."

If I miss this chance, I don't know when Luna will be a target again. It might never happen again.

Thinking about it, I can't afford to skip it. My soul is screaming to draw the gacha.

Sisha, hearing that I'm going to draw, clasps her hands in front of her chest and says it happily. As a potential resident of the gacha swamp, she is reliable.

"Hey, good attitude! Then, Sisha can go first this time! You've only drawn once, so we can draw 18 times in total... 4 times each for 4 people, and 5 times for 2 people, right?"

"Don't forget Muffet!"

"R-Right. Then, 3 times each for 3 people... Nour, Estelle, and Sisha can draw 4 times."

Nour holds Muffet, who is sitting on her lap, and shows her to me. Muffet, who seems angry that I forgot her, is snorting and making a "buh buh" sound.

She is the most likely candidate for the best gacha luck, but I almost forgot her.

This time, we can draw 18 11-roll gachas with 900 magic stones. So, they will each draw 4 times, and I and Muffet will draw 3 times.

"I'm happy you're letting me, but I'll pass this time. Instead, you can draw my share."

"Really? Is that okay?"

"Yes, I'm returning the favor from last time."

When I said how many times each of us would draw, Estelle smiled and offered me her share.

What... I didn't expect her to give it to me. Was it a thank you for letting her and the others draw the gacha first last time?

Thinking about it, it's a bit heartwarming. It's nice that she remembers such things.

"Then, draw my share too."

"N-Nour too... I feel bad."

Hearing that, Nour also offered to let me draw her share.

What is this... It's a good feeling. I feel like I might cry.

"U-Uh... Y-You can draw my share too. I-I'm not stingy at all, really."

"Sisha, you don't have to force yourself..."

This was Sisha's first gacha. So, she must have been looking forward to this one.

But, since Estelle and the others offered to let me draw, she probably felt bad about drawing 4 times alone and offered to let me draw her share too.

She looked really reluctant, so I told her it was okay, but she shook her head and made a gesture to refuse.

Hmm, I feel bad for taking away her fun. Next time, I'll prioritize her in some way.

"But, if we complete it halfway, we'll stop, right?"

"Ah, right. I was planning to draw all of them, but if we complete it halfway, we'll stop."

I was about to start drawing when Estelle asked a question.

There are 5 targets for this Complete Gacha, and the period is 6 days including today. Compared to usual gachas, the period is unusually long.

――――

・SSR Dimension Room

・SSR Food Vending Machine

・SR Board Game Set

・SR Spiked Shoulder Pads

・SR Prominence Finger

Complete Reward

・UR Luna Valdo

―――――

It's set up like this. Of course, if we complete it halfway, we'll stop, as she said.

I'm praying that it will complete as soon as possible.

"Hehe, I'm the first, so there's no need to worry about it not being able to draw halfway through!"

"Sisha, you're starting to resemble Lord Oogura."

"Really?"

"Is that so?"

"Your breathing is in sync. Did something happen in the dungeon?"

She seems happy to be able to draw the gacha and is showing a more natural atmosphere. Maybe her guard is a bit down after exploring the dungeon with me.

Nour noticed this and, for some reason, started saying that she resembles me.

No, no, that's not true. Does it mean something to be like me as a girl?

When I lightly responded, it coincidentally overlapped with Sisha's response.

Then, even Estelle seemed to notice something, tilting her head and staring at Sisha and me with a slightly serious expression. It's a bit scary.

"N-Nothing happened! R-Right, Sisha?"

"Ah, y-yes! N-Nothing happened at all!"

"Hmm..."

I hastily denied that anything happened with Sisha and asked her to confirm it.

But, it seemed to have the opposite effect, as Estelle narrowed her eyes and looked at us with a voice that didn't convey any emotion.

Scary, scary, stop looking at us like that! You're definitely suspicious, you know!

"Rather than that, let's draw the gacha! The gacha!"

"Right! Let's draw! Let's draw quickly!"

"It seems like you're hiding something."

"Well, it's fine. I'll have a good talk with you later, brother."

We tried to cover it up with momentum and ended up diving straight into the gacha.

Estelle said she wanted to talk later, but I'll hope she forgets about it.

"Then, let's start the first draw!"

I handed the smartphone to Sisha and stretched my hand to the center of the table so everyone could see.

She immediately drew the first 11-roll gacha of the day.

A treasure chest appeared on the screen. The chest stopped at silver, then gold.

【R Snack, SR Pot Lid, R Universal Medicine, SR Beacon, R Potion x10, SR Gold Shoes, SR Eclipse Sword, R Stuffed Animal, R Gauntlet, SR Platinum Plate, R Hard Cover】

"Guh, it's just the first draw. I'm not the type to be shocked by this."

"That sounds familiar... I've heard it before."

After that, she drew the gacha two more times in a row... but the results were one silver and one gold.

【R Potion x10, R Food, R Sleeping Bag, R Deodorant, R Magic Dynamite, R Transceiver, R Enhancer, R Thin Book, R Knife, R Wind Rod, R Copper Leggings】

【R Short Spear, SR Philosopher's Stone, R Food, SR Excalibur, R Crossbow, SR Alarm, R Metal Whip, SR Eclipse Sword, R Camp Set, SR Glamorous Shoes, SR Magic Canceller】

"No, no, this can't be! This is just like Lord Oogura!"

"Hey! Who's like who! I'm not that bad, even if I'm me!"

"Similar thinking leads to similar results."

"I really feel like we're starting to resemble each other."

She seemed frustrated that she didn't get any good items and started banging on the table.

Furthermore, she said something incredibly rude, comparing herself to me.

Hey, hey, I've even drawn URs, so don't compare me to her.

But, is this kind of thing a matter of a desire sensor? The more I wish for something, the worse the result seems to be.

"Well, it's my turn next."

"Ugh, please do your best for me, who had a terrible draw."

"Leave it to me. Well, I'm not that lucky either."

Replacing the unfortunate Sisha, this time Estelle took the smartphone.

She tapped the 11-roll gacha with a light touch, showing no signs of nervousness.

A treasure chest appeared on the screen. The chest stopped at silver, then gold. The first one stopped at gold.

【R Snack, R Hot Ring, SR Magic Blade, R Claw, SR Cursed Rod, R Magic Paper, R Wind Ring, SR Caduceus Emblem, R Sleeping Bag, SR Nike's Shoes】

Although the target item didn't come out, it can't be helped. It's not that easy to get.

She continued to draw the second and third gachas, and the results were one gold and one white.

【R Gold Ore, SR Pot Lid, R Food, R Flash Grenade, SR Beacon, R Long Coat, SR Waist Pouch, R Hot Ring, SR Shura's Fist, R Long Sword, SR Escape Device】

【R Junk Ring, SR Excalibur, R Snack, 'SR Board Game Set', R Universal Medicine, SR Life Gem, R Crossbow, SR Angel's Robe, R Duster, SR Butterfly Grip, SSR Adamant Armor】

"Oh, it came out."

"Where is it not lucky!?"

"This is the first target item, right?"

The SR Board Game Set, one of the target items, was drawn.

Estelle didn't seem to be determined to draw it, but she seemed happy to get a good item, putting her hand to her cheek and smiling.

Sisha, seeing the good item, shouted and clenched her teeth in frustration, making a "grr" sound.

"Hehe, it's my turn next."

"Nour always gets good results. I'm counting on you."

"W-When you say that, I get nervous..."

The smartphone was handed to Nour after Estelle finished drawing.

Nour is a star with a track record of various achievements in the gacha. The Nour and Muffet duo has contributed the most to the gacha.

I also have an impressive UR rate, as long as I don't get duplicates...

She immediately tapped the 11-roll gacha after receiving the smartphone.

A treasure chest appeared on the screen. The chest stopped at silver, then gold. The first one stopped at gold.

【R Snack, SR Healing Gem, R Smoke Bomb, R Universal Medicine, SR Excalibur, R Stimulant, R Thunder Ring, R Steel Scythe, SR Banana Fan, R Steel Axe, 'SR Spiked Shoulder Pads'】

"Oh, it came out."

"R-Really? The target item on the first draw!?"

"Your luck in the gacha is still strong."

She drew the SR Spiked Shoulder Pads, one of the target items, on the first draw.

Nour's luck in the gacha is really something. Why is she so lucky!?

She continued to draw the second and third gachas.

The results were one gold and one white.

【R Chrome Armor, SR Excalibur, R Potion x10, SR Guardian Ring, R Shuriken, SR Thick Book, R Food, SR Hyper Potion x10, SR Twin Saber, SR Beacon, R Dagger】

【R Food, SR Stabilizer, R Magic Dynamite, R Estoc, SR Prominence Rod, SR Francisca, R Telescope, R Duster, SR Magic Blade, SR Beacon, 'SSR Food Vending Machine'】

"Oh, it came out again!"

"Such a difference... And it's even an SSR... Can I get some of Nour's luck by praying to her?"

"Nour is really amazing... I wish I could share some of her gacha luck. Give me a bit of your nail scrapings to drink!"

"Ah, I want to drink it too!"

"Y-You two, calm down! D-Don't come over here!"

This is definitely not right. Why is Nour the only one getting
