Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Chapter 17 - First Defense



Internal affairs are important.
In RPG games too.
Even more so in mobile games.

…Don’t you just click for 10 minutes a day and that’s it?
That’s right. For a ‘mobile game’.

However.
For me, the game is murder.
No, not murder, but real life…

“Lumi? There, let’s bring the table spacing a bit closer.”
“Woof!”

I take care of internal affairs today too.

For instance, innovating the structure of the general store (cocktail bar) to increase table turnover rate even a little, like now.

“Tinya, have you memorized it all? You can’t make calculation mistakes. How much is a goblin’s broken club?”
“Uh, goblin’s, goblin’s broken… 50 gold?”
“Wrong. 50 gold is for a goblin’s intact club. The broken one is 30 gold.”

Putting effort into training part-timers for extended night operations.

Of course, because I’m a very conscientious shop owner.
I intend to definitely give rest time.
If only she memorizes the 500-page catalog.

Turning my gaze to watch Harong hammering away clang clang.
She was crafting equipment befitting the dignity of 3rd rank heroes.

Lumi is equipped with a full set, and the other friends are focusing on attack power or magic attack power options first.

Of course, there are other things to do besides crafting.

“Harong-ssi? Let’s try it again today too.”
“……”
“Harong-ssi?”
“……”

She’s super focused.

It’s a bit rude, but.
Here, we need to disrupt that concentration.

“Harong-ssi, how many pounds does this gauntlet weigh?”

“…Yards, pounds, don’t, use theeeem!”

Boom!
The effect was tremendous!

Harong, who stopped the hammer she was about to swing down, shot a fiery glare at me.

As if possessed by the soul of a heavenly modern engineering nerd.
She showed a very sensitive reaction to the yard-pound system.

Hmm.
Is that so.

“Haha, don’t get too angry, let’s make another piece today.”

Anyway, when starting today’s dopamine party.

This dog of a crap game has thrown in all sorts of garbage systems packaged as gameplay.

One of the most representative of these is ‘equipment refining’.

Borrowing a system that should be in MMORPGs for a mobile game, is the PD sane?

Of course, it’s not an extreme case where complete destruction or complete annihilation occurs if refining fails.
It’s fortunate that it just gets fixed in a state where no more refining attempts can be made.

We can’t not do it because well-refined 3rd rank equipment shows appropriate performance to the extent of being able to skip 4th rank entirely.

“Ugh, a weapon again today? A bow?”
“Yes. Let’s try one.”

Refining stones are abundant thanks to the shop owner’s power.
However, equipment crafting requires quite a lot of miscellaneous materials, as well as Harong’s labor and time.

One per day.

“Shall we start?”
“Yes.”

“Hueeeup!”

Harong inhales while opening her eyes wide.
Bang! She hammers the ‘Iron Bow’ placed on the anvil.

Success rate 80%.

Bang!

Refining effect, sparkling effect.
Brilliant light envelops the bow.

“Success!”
“Let’s keep going!”

I grabbed Tinya, whose head was spinning from excessive reading, and sat her on my lap.

With the blessing of zuuuuk.

Success rate 60%.

Bang!

Harong’s hammer shone for a moment, but no change occurred to the iron bow.

…Damn game. What’s with the rigged probability.

[+1 Iron Bow (Refining impossible)]

“…It’s because Ark mentioned pounds earlier and brought bad luck.”
“Is that so? Tsk.”

I lifted Tinya again and put her down on the counter.

It might have been bad luck because of the demon’s blessing.
Next time I should put Yohena on my lap.

Anyway, Ari already has a +3 iron bow in her hands…

Tsk.
My dopamine ended too futilely today.

I was undergoing the trial of Gacha Endurance LV.99 with the resolve to hit the ceiling.

Dopamine, I need more dopamine…

The next day.

“Today we plan to try conquering the 6th floor first. There weren’t any particular problems up to Zone 3. And we’ve got most of our equipment sorted out.”
“Woof!”
“Ugh, uuugh…”
“Grrrr…”
“……”

I unleashed the spirit bomb I had been gathering.

All morning, I frantically stuffed growth elixirs into the main dealers, Ari and Tinya.

They’re still complaining that their stomachs don’t feel good, but.
Levels don’t lie. Everyone rose sharply.

Our party’s current specs. 3rd rank. Level 40.

The average level of the 6th floor is 37.

Assuming we can struggle to clear up to about 20 levels higher than the party level.
There’s enough leeway to clear sufficiently even if we still rely on Lumi’s one-man army.
Except for specific gimmicks.

This is the shop owner’s way of conquering the tower.
Normalizing tower difficulty.
I’m the only one clicking.

It definitely became easier with Tinya’s joining.

“Tinya, fire lame!”
“La~me♡”

The monsters are also starting to come out with their own system.
Not just spamming one type with color variations, but structured like a hero party with tank-dps-heal.

In particular, one of the causes that fundamentally extends clear time.
It’s monsters like that ‘Goblin Shaman’ that give buffs and heals to fellow monsters.

But?

“Kuiik!”
“Keruk?”
“Kui-kui!”

An ability that seems quite annoying even when they’re enemies.
Tinya’s enhancement skill. ‘La~me♡’.

…That’s really the skill name.
The ability is similar to the original, temporarily making the enemy in the very back ‘caer (betray)’.

Thus, internal strife broke out among the goblin group.
Lumi comfortably puk puk, Ari shook shook.

As we go towards the latter half, there will be more enemies with ‘mental immunity’, so there is an expiration date.
But it’s still useful against these low-level monsters for now.

Well, even if she drops out of the first string later, Tinya’s retirement is definitely secured.
Even if we don’t use her for tower climbing, she’ll fulfill her duty as an excellent slave, no, part-timer.

“Everyone did well. No injuries? Let’s keep advancing. Let’s quickly clear up to Zone 10 and yarikirichi.”

Safety good! Good! Good!

“Yarikirichi?”

Ah.
You don’t know?
That means.

“If we finish work quickly, we can leave early and rest.”

“Ooh…!”

Tinya’s eyes sparkled.
This doesn’t apply to you. You have to study.
…I didn’t say that out loud.

Motivation is important, after all.

There were definitely a lot of gimmicks from the 6th floor.
To the extent of wondering if there were originally this many traps.

“I smell lame ahead!”
“Ari, try shooting an arrow.”

Swoosh.
Rumble!

I broke out in a cold sweat for a moment as I watched the pit collapse in response to Ari’s arrow.

I knew there was a trap.
But I can’t know exactly where and how it’s set up.

Even I, with abundant in-game knowledge, have limits.
How can I compare the graphics from a tiny smartphone with scenery more real than reality?

If I had put Lumi in front as usual?
Lumi might have fallen in plop and whined master please get me out woof whine!
Such a situation might have occurred.

Thanks to that.

“Woof!”
“What, dog. Not taking your hand away?”
“Woof!”

Lumi, who became even kinder due to my diligent training.
Stretched out her front paw, no, hand as if I was doing it, and patted Tinya’s head pat pat.

Tinya growled like a foul-tempered cat, but.

“Woof!”
“Kuaaang!”

Pat pat while crushing Tinya with overwhelming weight class and strength.

…Is this really becoming kinder?
Isn’t she grooming before eating?

I suddenly turned to look at Yohena and Ari.
They were shaking their heads with expressions similar to mine.

Well.
That’s how they’re becoming friends.

[Tower of Wishes 6th Floor – Ruined Village Zone 4 Cleared!]

After passing through the pit hell.

“Hmm. This is a curse. I can dispel it.”

We also successfully passed through an area filled with ominous-looking purple mist along with Yohena’s holy power.

The slightly reduced health, well.
It was manageable enough with healing.

“Cough, cough, kuhuk.”
“Phew.”

But, my lungs hurt…
Ari? Why are you laughing?

[Tower of Wishes 6th Floor – Ruined Village Zone 7 Cleared!]

“Hm? Ark! There’s something strange here!”

Even the stepping stone quiz gimmick that originally existed.

Tak, tak, tak, tak, tak.

Drrrr──

“Wow…! Ark, you’re amazing! How did you see through it in one go?”

Yohena’s eyes widened as my mysterious footwork cleared the ‘step on the floor in order mini-game’ at once.

Well.
This much is a basic implant engraved in my brain.
Never underestimate the incarnated again!

“I’m quite smart, aren’t I? Haha.”

I tried a bit of self-praise while feeling a thrilling sense of guilt run down my spine.

“……”
“Woof! Master is the best woof!”
“Master, you’re stupid.”

The response I got was cold.

Only Lumi…
Lumi, you must live long and healthy.

[Tower of Wishes 6th Floor – Ruined Village Zone 8 Cleared!]

“Ark?”

Before entering Zone 9.
I hesitated for a moment.

Although no one was particularly curious──
From the 5th floor onwards, each floor of the tower had its own story.
Of course, even I didn’t care much when I was a ‘player’.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”

[Tower of Wishes 6th Floor – Ruined Village Zone 9]
[★☆☆ : Defend against waves for 10 minutes.]
[★★☆ : Win without anyone falling.]
[★★★ : Protect the village without damage.]

“Kyaaak! My son, my son…!”
“Madeline, run away first! They’ll be here soon!”
“Please, Goddess…”

Pandemonium.

Up to Zone 8, it showed the scenery of villages that had already become ruins, that is, only the results remained.
The main task was to dismantle traps left here and there and subjugate monsters.

But.
As I had anticipated through game experience──

Zone 9.
What’s unfolding before my eyes now is.
The appearance just before turning into ruins.

In the distance, a horde of goblins was approaching with ukikik kieekik sounds.

“Heroes! The heroes have come!”
“They’ll protect us…!”
“Ah, Goddess. Thank you, thank you…”

NPCs…
No.
The words of the villagers rang in my ears.

Suddenly.
I felt slightly dizzy from the feeling of pressure rushing in, but.

“Ark!”

I came to my senses at Yohena’s voice calling me.

Right.
We’ve already finished preparing, haven’t we.

So.

“Yohena, please put up buffs. There might be monsters trying to bypass us and attack the village, so Tinya, save your strength and watch out for those first. Lumi, don’t go in too deep, block them as close to the entrance as possible. Ari, support fire.”

My breathing became slightly rapid due to rushing out instructions, but.
I had to say these last words.

“Safely, cleanly, perfectly.”

That’s why we trained hard.

The heroes who heard my words nodded their heads and clenched their fists.
They finished preparing to carry out their respective duties according to the instructions.
