Item Gacha

[So, who are you going to use the Cost Reduction on?]

Estel subtly moves to point at herself, as she brings up the topic.

Uーmu, I’m sure using the item on her is a decent choice… There’s Noru for her passive buff, Estel and Shisuha for their support magic, so they most likely won’t get replaced even if I get more party members down the road.

But having obtained this seemingly hard to come by cost reducing item, I’d want to stock up on more of it before I’m going to think of using it. Yea, I’ll hold off from using it for the moment.

[Sorry for betraying your expectations, but I’m not using it just yet.]

[Onii-san you’re stingy…]

[We aren’t in desperate need of extra Cost right now anyways.]

When I said I wasn’t going to use it yet, Estel pouted and called me stingy. Sorry for being stingy.

[Enough about that, let’s move on to the Gacha.]

[So… it’s an Item Gacha this time.]

Sure I’m happy that there’s finally something I can almost call a festival… but it’s a “Item Gacha”.

【Item Gacha Event! Rates for all “Items” increased!】

As stated on the banner. The rates for Items are increased…

It’s not even a rate up for SSR and above items, I honestly wouldn’t mind skipping this altogether.

Though now that we have become a party of 4, we are starting to run out of the Food that’s rolled from the Gacha so there is still some meaning to rolling. There’s the chance that we can obtain other convenient items like the Magic Carpet, but this isn’t the type of Gacha that would stoke my urge to roll.

I’d rather give priority to Equipment and Units.

Currently I have 846 manastones, so using 200 should be fine.

I’m actually more surprised at how amazing Prime Subjugations are. I managed to get 150-ish manastones in that short period of time. There must have been a boatload of Rare Variants in that Horde.

[Time to commence the Heihachi Carnival… would be what I’d like to say, but let’s just settle with 1 roll per person.]

[You aren’t doing your Carnival thing this time?!]

[I find it hard to trust Onii-san’s “we are going to roll X times”.]

[Eh! That means I’m getting a chance to roll the Gacha!]

This item gacha isn’t going to satisfy my inner gambler. So I can’t really call it a carnival.

I felt so thankful that I almost jizzed when I saw the notice, but even that motivation has died down. I’m mostly just flaccid right now.

Noru was surprised that it’s not a carnival this time, Estel speaks of her distrust in what I said, while Shisuha is actually excited about rolling the gacha.

The three of them have such different reactions.

[Alright then we shall have Shisuha roll first this time.]

[Yes! Ooohh~, so this is the “Gacha”. I’m kinda getting excited.]

I decided to let Shisuha go first when I saw her gleaming eyes and rough nasal breathing.

There’s not enough space for all of us to fit on a bed now, so we opted to sit in chairs around a table, and roll the gacha from my smartphone placed in the middle of the table.

Mofutto was resting on Noru’s lap. We were out of town for a couple of days, it looks tired after having to play with Noru a little too much.

Shisuha delicately taps the smartphone she is touching for the first time, her finger pushing the 11 consecutive gacha button.

A treasure chest is displayed. And the treasure chest turns silver, then gold. And stops at gold.

【R Food, SR Escape Device, R Potion x10, R Snack, SR Luxurious Lamp, R Panacea, SR Beacon, R Nutrient Supplement, R Sleeping Bag, SR Excali-bar, R Camping Set】

The results have been displayed, but the current atmosphere is somewhat disjointed. Shisuha looked frozen as she silently stared at the smartphone screen.

Estel and Noru are unsure how they should react, as they looked at each other with stiff expressions.

Achaー, didn’t expect our vanguard to get blocked at SR. This might be a huge shock for her.

I thought of giving her some words of console, but I instead see her hand quietly inching forward towards the 11 consecutive gacha button.

[Oi you! Who said you could roll 1 more time!]

[Uwaaaah! Let go of me! There’s no way I can back down with such a result for my first time! Just the tip, let me tap that button with just the tip of my finger!]

[Wha, what are the 2 of you doing!?]

[Nothing’s going to change regardless of how you tap the button.]

I managed to grab Shisuha’s arm before she could touch the screen again, and stopped her from rolling down into the abyss. However as she kept struggling to break free from my grasp, I had to get Estel and Noru to help me tie her down onto her chair.

The Rope that was used was 1 of the things I prepared for tackling the Labyrinth. I didn’t expect to end up using it this way.

Even then, I didn’t think she’d react like this. It was surprising even for me.

She has too little self-control, if she can’t even adhere to the total roll count that was decided at the start. She needs to build up more composure and self restraint much like how I have.
(ED Note: ey kettle, stop calling out on the pot lul)

[Fuu, honestly. To think she’d attempt 1 more roll. Can’t even let my guard down for a moment.]

[I can already hear the boomerang whirling in the distance.]

[Onii-san is probably the last person Shisuha would want to hear that from.]

[Uuu… Having only 1 roll is just so unsatisfactory…]

Estel looked at me with accusing eyes. Noru appeared to be doing the same as well, but I can’t really tell due to her eye mask.

What, why are you girls giving me that look. I’m sure I didn’t say anything out of place.

Shisuha, tied to the chair, was groaning as she mumbled something. Her current appearance would make you imagine something done in a more private situation, but there is no room for sympathy here.

No mercy will be shown to whomever that tries to roll the gacha above the decided limit.

[Now then, am I next in line?]

With the end of the commotion, comes Estel’s turn. She operates the smartphone with a smile.

Umu umu, feeling happiness from rolling the gacha is a good sign. Estel is also gradually falling to the gacha side.

A treasure chest is displayed. And the treasure chest turns silver, then gold. And stops at gold.

【SR Luxurious Pillow, R Food, SR Excali-bar, SR High Quality Kitchen Knife, R Panacea, SR Luxurious Light, R Bento Box, SR Washing Machine, R Sleeping Bag, SR Air Rope, R Stuffed Toy】

[Muu—]

[The initial results aren’t looking very well.]

That was 2 rolls with only SR as the highest rarity. The SSR aren’t going to appear that easily when there’s no rate up for them…

Estel grumpily puffs up her cheeks and clenched her fists. She looked so cute that I’d love to take a photo to save the moment, but with the phone currently on the table and the camera sounds to consider I’ll refrain right now.

Up next is Noru.

[Okura-dono… I don’t mind doing only 10 rolls, so can I do single rolls instead?]

[Nn? Sure.]

[Thank you very much!]

Hoo, didn’t think I’d hear that from Noru. Estel was also pulled from a single roll, maybe she has become a believer of YOLO rolling.

Umu, this is a good trend either way. I shall let the girls experience the bottomless swamp known as Gacha. They will then understand my passion and feelings for it in time.

【R Food】【R Panacea】【SR Beacon】【SR Escape Device】【R Snack】【SSR House Extension】【R Panacea】【SR Pot Lid】【R Lamp】【SR Seasoning Set】

Noru mashes the single roll button and the chests pop up one after another. The results were 5 silver chests, 4 gold chests, and 1 white chest.

A SSR finally appears from our third challenger.

[Au… only 1 SSR.]

[Getting even 1 is already very good!]

Yet again Noru is the one who manages to get the SSR… Just how lucky is she.

She sounded a little depressed, but I’m happy for the SSR item regardless. She appears to be slowly getting poisoned by the gacha system. Good, good.

That aside, House Extension? What the hell is this. It’s an SSR item, so I guess it should be something convenient like the Magic Carpet…

[Then next would be… Mofutto’s turn?]

[O, ooh, sure.]

Noru lifts Mofutto who was sitting on her lap up onto the table. Mofutto seemingly understood what was happening and trotted towards the smartphone.

I thought it was going to be 4 people rolling, turns out it’s 4 people plus 1 animal… The difference of spending 50 more stones doesn’t bother me now though.

[So the fluffy one gets to roll the Gacha as well.]

[Ara, aren’t you aware? Mofutto’s the one who pulled you Shisuha.]

[Eh.]

Shisuha muttered as she watched Mofutto walk the walk. Come to think of it we haven’t told Shisuha about Mofutto’s circumstances yet.

Everybody else probably thought she already knew, since she pats and plays with it too.

And now after finding out the truth that she herself was rolled out by Mofutto, she lets out a short reaction and now stares at Mofutto. Her state of mind must be feeling rather complicated from finding out her rabbit pulled origins.

Mofutto arrives at the smartphone, and taps the 11 consecutive roll button with its front paw. It really is a clever creature.

A treasure chest is displayed. And the treasure chest turns silver, then gold. And stops at gold.

【SR Luxurious Eye Mask, R Shampoo, R Potion x10, R Sleeping Aid, R Nutrient Supplement, R A(nimal) V(ideo), SR Alarm Device, R Mask, SR Pillow of Dreams, R Snack, R Fishing Rod】

Even with Mofutto’s supposed good luck, the wall between us and the SSR is still insurmountable.

…I was hoping for a UR with its(Mofutto’s) luck power, but Gacha RNGesus says otherwise.

[Au… Even Mofutto’s power couldn’t help us this time.]

[Well we have managed to get the UR one way or another until now. I’ll get one for us this time as well so you girls can rest assured.]

[Onii-san, you shouldn’t trigger flags yourself like that.]

[You sound so confident, but can you live up to the expectations?]

Fuu, with my karma powers, it’s within reason to pull the UR this time too. It’s UR or nothing.

If I were to have any misgivings, it’d probably be to pull a UR that I already have?

The smartphone screen was tapped by my finger overflowing with manliness. A treasure chest is displayed.

The treasure chest turns silver, then gold. And stops at gold.

【SR Excali-bar, SR Pot Lid, R Fancy Shampooー、R Perfume, R Rubber, R Thin Book, SR Video Recording App, SR Arm Cover, R Food, SR Pet House, SR Luxurious Light】

…..this, this can’t be. I can understand if I didn’t get the UR, but I couldn’t even get a SSR with my karma powers?!

[Aaand, that was expected.]

[Okura-dono, no more rolling after this.]

[You stopped me from doing so just a while ago, I’d like to see how you talk your way into getting another roll.]

Estel had a smug face. Noru watched me warily, focusing on each and every one of my movements.

Shisuha, still tied to her chair, says with a smirk. You could almost hear her saying “I’m not letting you get another roll if I couldn’t get one.” behind that smirk.

[Guh… right. I certainly stopped Shisuha from rolling again. I was the one who said one roll per person. If that’s the case, then how about everybody getting to roll 1 more time? We only managed to get 1 SSR so far, it wouldn’t be surprising if multiple SSR appear in the following rolls. That’s the reason I don’t see why we shouldn’t keep rolling.]

[I see, why didn’t I think of that! I fully support that logic!]

[There’s something very wrong with your reasoning!]

[Shisuha also seems to be the kind of person who shouldn’t be allowed to roll the gacha… I’m sure all our manastones will be rolled away if we kept going according to how Onii-san says to.]

The SSR have been avoiding us like the plague. We’d be swimming in the SSR if we just did 5 more rolls, heck even getting the UR won’t be a dream. When are you going to roll if not now.

But Shisuha is the only one who agrees with me, as Noru and Estel confiscates my smartphone, and proceeds to tie me up to a chair much like what was done to Shisuha.

Where did I go wrong. Shisuha who was tied to a chair like I am, gave me a “We’re buddies!” look, I’d really like for her to stop doing that.
