Chapter 245 Like Master, Like Servant
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
…… Tester Life Day 106, Evening. 14th Stratum¹ Inner Perimeter. Sanada Yakumo ……
”The 9th Grand Gacha Festival is now in session!”
”An-an!”
”Yay! I feel like I’m going to hit the jackpot today.”
”Bau-bau!”
Having finished our exploration of the final sector of the outer perimeter, we arrived at the Gacha Temple².
Karen, Leticia, and their familiars—who had been exhausted just moments ago—suddenly burst with energy.
Sayaka, Sheena, and I exchanged weary glances and wry smiles.
Today had been a grueling pace. While our exploration inside the buildings was slow, during the street battles, I had Hanako keep Provocation active at all times to lure in Orcs from a distance, intentionally forcing us into three consecutive battles.
Based on our initial reconnaissance, the number of Orc groups appearing at once in the inner perimeter was much higher, but we couldn’t quite replicate that intensity yet. Still, I think we managed to experience a level of consecutive combat comparable to the inner perimeter.
Once, we almost got caught in a melee in an alleyway, but Sheena managed to prevent it by kicking off the walls for a triangle jump, performing a three-dimensional assault. Honestly, it was incredible.
She moved at terrifying speeds, kicking off the walls and reaping the heads of Orcs one after another. Karen and the others were thrilled. In their heads, they were probably shouting “Flash!” or “The Head-Hunting Rabbit.”
Sheena’s jumping power is truly insane. Even Saizou, who was about to throw Kunai from the rooftop, stood there wide-eyed.
Lucy tried to mimic her afterward; it couldn’t be helped that she lacked the height, but because she has so much physical strength, she swung her large knife with too much brute force, leaving herself open after the attack.
It felt like she needed more practice. I’m sure Lucy will be able to do it eventually.
Because we fought so many consecutive battles, we earned a lot of G-Coins—32 copper ones, including the ones pooled from last time. We also have 6 Silver G-Coins.
Since I did 20 pulls yesterday, the Gacha has now been spun a cumulative total of 160 times. Our results so far are one gold capsule and three silver capsules.
If I recall, the gold capsule appeared on the 50th pull, so statistically, it wouldn’t be strange for another one to pop up. At the very least, we’re due for a silver capsule since we’ve been hitting a bit of a dry spell.
”Alright, Leticia goes first today!”
”Understood. Today is the day I obtain the High Heal Magic Tome⁴.”
In Leticia’s mind, the High Heal Magic Tome seems to be a bigger win than an Entry Permit. Well, even if an Entry Permit drops, she’s determined to keep spinning until she gets that Tome.
Leticia receives the G-Coins from Sayaka, who acted as the treasurer, and stands before the Gacha machine. She drops the G-Coin in and turns the knob.
The imitation capsules inside the transparent case on top spun vigorously… and emitted a silver light.
”Wow!”
”Whoa! Yes, it’s silver!”
Karen and Leticia held hands and rejoiced. Beside them, Lucy picked up Feli and spun around in circles.
”Oh! It came out,” I said.
”Fufu, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s inside,” Sayaka said.
”I thought it was about time… munch munch… It would be nice if it was a weapon again… munch munch,” Sheena added while gnawing on a carrot stick.
Ever since she got that Magic Pouch, this rabbit has been eating constantly whenever she’s not in combat.
Clatter-thump, clatter-thump!
”It’s silver! And there are two copper ones! It’s a jackpot, Leticia!”
”I didn’t get gold, but I’m happy.”
”It’s thanks to Master hitting a low-luck streak yesterday. munch munch.”
”Shut it.”
I don’t want to hear it from Sheena, who is currently competing with me for the bottom spot in the bad luck rankings.
”Here, Leticia. What’s inside?” Karen asked.
”Thanks. Let’s see… Whoa!?”
Leticia took the silver capsule and peered into the transparent bottom half, her eyes widening.
”Eh? Eh? Did you get something good?”
”Yeah, it’s a rod! It has the same color as the decorations on Sanae’s bow!”
Saying that, Leticia flowed Mana Capacity³ into the capsule to manifest it. A decorated rod, about one meter long and made of a slightly bluish silver, appeared. It was a Mithril Rod. A white gemstone was embedded at the tip, surrounded by a Mithril model of an angel and its wings.
”Wow! The design is so cool! Since it’s a Mithril Rod, it might have a special effect like Sanae’s ‘Bow of the Thousand-Year Demon Tree’.”
”Gulp… Mithril rods and staves usually assist with magic casting speed and improve accuracy. Also, though only slightly, they should reduce Mana Capacity consumption… munch munch,” Sheena explained while eating carrot jelly.
”Ooh, faster casting and reduced Mana Capacity consumption makes me happy. I like the design too; it feels very ‘Holy Maiden’,” Leticia said with a beaming smile. “Um, the copper capsules are… a Medal of Return and a Scroll of Clean.”
”Well, they’re copper after all. Clean is a win, though,” I replied.
”Yakumo is into facial shots, so it’s necessary,” Karen noted. “The smell gets me excited, so it’s a bit of a problem~”
”It helps… The other day we ran out of Scrolls and I couldn’t breathe again,” Sanae said.
”Seeing a beautiful face dirtied with fluids turns me on. My bad.”
”Nnh♪… I might actually like that.”
”I don’t mind if it’s Yakumo’s fluids, either.”
”I-I see. So that’s why you always blast me with so much… W-well, I guess it can’t be helped then.”
Sayaka is a woman who is usually refined but becomes erotic during s*x. Sheena is just eating too many carrots.
”Alright, Darling, you’re next!”
”What? You’re not going, Karen?”
”I got silver twice in a row before, so I’m sitting this one out.”
”Hey, stop using me as a human sacrifice!”
”Saizou.”
I called for Saizou. He appeared and knelt.
”Saizou, go spin the Gacha in my place.”
”By your command!”
”Pffft! He’s just like Darling!”
”Yeah, the way he gets lonely and the way he’s not honest with himself… exactly the same.”
”…That is not true.”
Saizou turned the knob. Copper light emitted. He standing in shock as only one copper capsule and nine whites came out.
”Don’t worry about it, Saizou. Your value doesn’t drop just because of Gacha,” I said.
”That was a shame, Saizou-san,” Sanae added.
”Oh? Did you even resemble Master in that regard?” Sheena asked.
”Shut up!”
Karen and Leticia ran toward the Gacha machine again. It upgraded to silver!
”Eh? Y-Yay! It’s silver!”
”It upgraded! Yay, yay!”
”Amazing, Karen-san. Congratulations!” Sayaka said.
”Satte to! What’s inside kana~? Ah! It’s a Magic Tome!”
”What kind of magic?” Leticia asked.
”Let’s see… It came out. It’s fire-type. This is a spear.”
”It’s the mid-tier magic, Fire Lance. The range isn’t particularly long, but it’s a very powerful spell that explodes upon impact,” Sayaka explained.
”Thank you. I’ll make good use of it, Karen-san.”
”Since you use both ice and fire magic, you should call yourself the ‘Witch of Frost and Flame’,” Leticia suggested.
”Well, we can talk about that after we get back. We’re heading into the inner perimeter tomorrow. Let’s head home early.”
Silver G-Coin gathering starts soon.

Summary:

Trivia:
- Sheena has developed a constant carrot-eating habit since gaining a Magic Pouch.
