Day 4.

'Hmm?　What is it?

　It's been a few hours since we started hunting, roughly past noon. Suddenly my phone vibrated.
　I took it out and looked at the screen to see a call from Noll. What the hell does he want?

"Oh, Okura do--?　Help!　It's the help!

What's that noise?　Hey, are you okay!

'Esther, Esther is on the rampage!　There are holes all over the cave!

　When I answer the call, I suddenly hear Noor's scream. At the same time, I hear a series of heavy sounds, like an explosion.
　When I asked what's going on, I was told that Esther is acting up.
　Seriously.........what the hell is going on?

Nole is safe, right?

We have managed to evacuate the building!　In the meantime, I'm staying close to Esther and seeing to it that the demons don't come near her, but I can't stop them, so I want them to come quickly!

Hey, wait a minute!　I'm coming to you right now!　Sis-Har!　Let's call off the hunt for once!

　I told Sisha to stop the hunt for a while and we decided to move on to the north cave.

　The northern cave we went to pick up was in a terrible state. There were holes here and there in the walls, some of which had melted into red sludge like lava.
　When I searched near it, I found Esther holding a grimoire in her hand, raising her staff and firing fireballs in the direction where the scorpions were.
　The target being shot at was already a blast of fire and I couldn't see what was going on. If you look closely, you can see the scorpion and stinger evaporate the moment they spring up.

　I look for where Noll is and find him hiding behind a stone pillar near Esther, shivering and trying to figure out what's going on.
　I also fearfully approach Esther and call out to her from behind, and she turns around and gives me a fixed look.
　She appears to be smiling slightly, but her mouth is half open and her cheek area is pulled back.

''Eh, Esther?　Are you okay?

Can you give my brother a compliment?　I killed a lot of them today. Do you want me to burn all night in this cave today?　Would that please your brother more?　Hey ... hey, brother.

　Looking at me, she doesn't stop heading to where the scorpions are springing up and shooting fireballs at me.
　Smiling, Esther opens her mouth and calls out to me in a quiet, amused voice. She looks normal at first glance, but she's gone completely crazy.
　I'm scared, I feel scared on instinct. If I let it go, it's definitely not good.

'Wow, okay. All right, let's calm down first, okay?

Can I burn it?

'No!　Not so!

　I managed to get home, stopping Esther from trying to start attacking with more firepower.
　She fainted as soon as she got back, so I carried her to my room and put her to bed.
　I didn't expect that Estelle was this mentally fatigued...I was only thinking about Noll going crazy, so this was quite unexpected.
　It wasn't an obvious madness like Noor's, it was just quiet. I guess it's my fault for taking my word for it that it's okay.
　I might have to do tomorrow's hunt without Esther.

''So, what are you going to do about today's mess?''

''Hmm, I guess I only collected 54 of them today. Anyway, I'll draw this time.

Good luck, Okura-san!　If we can pull it off with this, we'll win the mess!

　What do you mean you can win? I'm not trying to be competitive........
　The total number of magic stones is 97. I can only turn them in once this time. But there's still a chance that we could pull it off this one time.
　If we can pull it off here, we won't have to hunt anymore tomorrow. Everyone would be happy.

　I immediately took out my phone and tapped on the 11-round gacha as Noor and the others looked on.
　A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver. It stopped at silver.

[R Food, R Snack, R Transceiver, R Thunder Ring, R Longsword, R Panacea, R Magic Dynamite, R Teargas Ball, R Plushie, R Potion x 10, R Shampoo]

d*mn it!

Oh, this is a disaster.

''We'll just have to work hard tomorrow.......Okura-san, let's work hard together until the night!

　I didn't expect it to stop at silver. I'm starting to lose confidence in my luck with the mess........
　Only one day left........tomorrow is the end of it all, for better or worse.

　The last day.

'Today........today is the last day. Are you sure Estelle is okay with this?

Yeah, I'm fine. I slept very well. More importantly, I'm sorry about yesterday. You didn't collect enough magic stones because of me, right?

Don't worry about it. This is the path Noll took at one time. I'm sorry I didn't see that coming.

　I told Estelle to rest, but she told me she couldn't rest when I even promised her that she would.
　So in the end, we all came to the Orc Forest, and Estelle decided to only use her body strengthening magic and basically rest.
　The three of us continued to hunt diligently, but we still couldn't compete with the efficiency of the northern cave, and the speed at which the magic stones were accumulating wasn't very good.

''Okura-dono, how long is it now?''

Now it's 137.

So I guess we'll have to hunt some more today, won't we?

　The sun is already beginning to set. In a little while, it will be dark around here.
　If I get thirteen more, it will be a number I can draw for three times. I want to stick around here.

I'm sorry. Just give me a little more for today, please.

No, no. More importantly, Sis-Ha is amazing.......how is it that you're not afraid to hunt like that?

'Oh, I don't think you should know that,'

　Since Esther and the others are there today, Sisha is not hunting with laughter.
　Still, when I look at her face as she's hunting, her mouth is grinning and she's almost laughing now.
　I'd like someone to praise me for enduring Sisha's crazy laughter for three days, too.

　After the sun had completely set, we continued to hunt, using the lamp to narrow down the range of the hunt so that everyone would stick together, and we finished collecting the remaining 13 magic stones. That's a perfect 150 of them.
　Then I returned home and put my phone on my desk to draw the last gacha, and surrounded my desk.

''Well this is really the last gacha.

Oh, God, it's so delicious!

''Hmm..... If it comes off like this, I'm going to kind of cry too.

Sigh, the sweetness of it all goes straight to your tired body. So, who's going to finish it?

　In the meantime, we're done, and we're using the snacks to feed the Nolls.
　This time it's a cake with strawberries on top, a fluffy waffle wrapped in cream, and a crispy, fish-like batter filled with anko.
　I handed it to the girls for good work, and all three of them ate it with relish and took a break. Noor is so engrossed in the cake that he doesn't even listen to what they're saying.

　More importantly, I have to choose someone to turn the last mess.
　Well, if I'm going to leave it up to you at this point, first........

''I think Moffat and Noor will get one each. As for the last one.......we'll figure it out then.

　There are two definite names in the party that have shown extraordinary luck. I'll let this Nole and Moffatt draw first and see what happens.
　If that doesn't work, we'll think about it later.

''Well then, Moffitt!　You will do your best!

　Moffoot is the last one to take the lead in the last mess.
　He looks the same as usual, but he bravely walks over to his phone with a snort and a snort.
　Then, in a leisurely motion, he raises his foot and taps the 11-ring gacha.

　A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest was silver, gold, and white. It stopped at white.
　Will this one come out?　Are you going to get it?

'Oh!　Well, I guess it's still not good enough...

I don't know what to do about this...

Next time.　Let's get it out next time!

　I got the SSR, but the all-important Dimension Room didn't appear. Noll and the others also watched the ejection of the mess more seriously than usual, and then looked really frustrated when it came off.
　After Moffitt's turn was over, it was Noll's turn to turn it next.

''Noll, please, please........''

Nole, I trust you with everything we have.

Mr. Noll, I asked for you. You're the only one I can count on.

Hey, hey!　All three of you must stop this!　It's the most responsible mess we've ever had to deal with....

　They all put their hands on one of the hands on the desk in anticipation of Noor, who is now turning the mess around, and they all put their hands on one of the hands on the desk. And even Moffitt seems to be expecting Nole with a little hand on it.
　If they're going to miss even her, it's like they've already lost this time. It's safe to say that this is practically the last mess.
　Under our expectant gaze, Noll tapped the 11-ring gacha with a more awkward motion than usual.

　A treasure chest appeared on the screen. And the treasure chest was silver, gold, and white. It stopped at white.
　She was lucky, too, after all. If she doesn't get out with this, there's no more hope.

'Ugh!　I'm sorry, sir....

No, don't worry about it...

　I'm screwed, I'm done.......there's no way I'm going to get this out.
　I gave up, propped my elbows on the desk and covered my face with my hands. I couldn't do it, there was no way I could guess this.
　I should have just backed off when Noll told me to give up, I should have backed off honestly. Why did I try to force myself to turn it around there?
　Just thinking about the number of magic stones we've lost so far makes me feel like my heart is breaking.
　Glancing at the girls, I saw that Noor was also blatantly depressed with his face downward, although I couldn't tell his expression.
　Estelle is also leaning back in her chair, and she has an unmotivated look on her face.
　Moffitt, who was at the desk, is sitting up and cooing sadly.

　
　She was the only one who didn't seem to have given up yet. Her eyes weren't dead. Her blue eyes still shone unclouded.

''Sisha you're awesome.

Yes?　More importantly, why are you all in the mood to be done with it when there's still one more time?

　Sisha's words sent an electric current through me.
　
　Haha, I'll admit it. It seems that Sisha was a more positive race to face the mess than me.

"Sisha, please.

"...Heh?　Wow, is that me?!

　I left my phone in the middle of the desk and left it with her.
　Believing that Gacha would smile at those who hadn't even given up in this situation.

'Okura-san, what's going on?　Did you lose your bloody mind to ask me to do it!

No, I'm asking Sisha to do it. My gut is telling me to turn to Sisha now.

　So far she hasn't even drawn more than an SSR. So maybe she's not confident in her ability to draw.

''But........''

'Where's the positivity from before!　You're not the kind of guy who would be so timid!　Show us who you really are, and show us!

　And yet, in the midst of all that desperation, she was unfazed by the desperation, and she'd do it. That's what I believed.
　I'm giving it to her, this one time.

"Will Noll be okay with this?

It's okay with me. I believe that Sis-Ha can pull it off.

'I'm good too. I'll trust your brother's instincts.

　I asked the gnolls, and they all looked up and nodded at me.
　When Moffitt got close to Sisha, he reached out and popped his hand to his chest and tapped it with his paw.

'Wow, I get it!　Let's pull it off, shall we?

'Oh, the spirit of it!　Now, go ahead and do it all at once!

　Sisha responds to our encouragement and clenches her fists in a spirited, gut-punching manner.
　And without fear, she tapped the eleventh consecutive gacha.
　Please, please, please!　If we can't pull it off here, this mess is mine and we lose!

　A treasure chest is shown on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver, gold and white. It stopped at white.

'Hmm!　This is ... yay!　I got an SSR!

'Oh!　Sisuha drew an SSR or higher!

'It's nice to be happy, but I don't know if it's the target one, okay?　Here, tap it quickly.

　Finally, for the first time, Sisha had drawn more than an SSR. At this time, finally.
　She is very excited about it and Noor is happy with it as well. Estelle says it's still too early to be calmly happy, but she seems to be itching to know the result as soon as possible with a smile on her face.
　She had to draw the white to even win the game, and she did.
　Please........really please!　This is the last time I'm going to do this!

------

Oh, did you get it?　I'm out.

　We tapped the screen to see what had been ejected.
　Then Sisha sees it and tells us that it's out with a surprised look on her face.

'Whoa!　Shh, Sisha, you've done a great job!

Great, great, great, Sisha!　Now all our hard work will be rewarded!

"Sisha, that's great!　You're so good at what you do here!

　That's it!　They're coming!　Seriously, he's out!　Thank God, that was really good.....
　I just want to take my top off and start dancing right now. I won't do it though because if I do, I'll be treated like a pervert.

　Noor and Esther are delighted, too, standing up and putting their hands on Sisha's shoulders in delight.
　Moffitt seems to be bouncing around on the desk, too, expressing his pleasure by bouncing on the desk.
　But when he pulls back, Sisha is sitting in her chair, staring at her phone and smiling bitterly.
　We were happy, but when we noticed her looking like that, we looked at each other in confusion.

''Sisha, aren't you happy that you came out of it?''

Oh, no, I mean...

Hmm?　What's going on?

'No, when it really comes out... nah, I don't know how to react to it...'

　Maybe it's because I've only been able to draw SR all this time, but apparently I'm having trouble reacting.
　What, is that the reason? You're usually so flippant, but this is the kind of place where you get confused.

You just have to be happy to be in such a situation. It's a good idea to go mad when you can't pull it off, and be very happy when you do. That's just the way it is.

Okura-dono's madness is a bit much, though.

　As for the gacha, you should be happy when it comes out for the time being.
　You shouldn't think about anything difficult.

I mean, that's it then, I did it!　I've won the jackpot!

Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it.

　Following my words, Sisha clenched one hand and raised it above her head and began to rejoice. I can even see a faint tear in her eyes. It's like she was moved to tears.
　Well, it was good. We were able to finish the complete gacha safely.
　Our five days of hard work hadn't been in vain, had it?

'Yes!　Yes!　Yay!

'Uh-huh, yeah!　I did it!

'Ummm...'

'Esther?　What is the matter with you, sir, with your difficult face?

No, I feel like we're forgetting something very important.

　Me and Sisha were holding each other's hands and spinning around to share in the joy.
　Unlike us, Esther put her index finger to her temple and was thinking about something.

''Hmm?　What is it?

''........Oh, yes. Brother, how many times did you spin the eleventh consecutive gacha this time?

'Well that's twenty-eight times. What's wrong with that?

　I stopped dancing and responded to what Esther had muttered.
　Then, just as she remembered, she clapped her hands with a pop and asked me how many times I'd gotten messed up this time.
　What the hell was wrong with that?

I mean, you drew the lottery 308 times, right?　And yet we haven't seen a single UR.

　.........!　Wait, what ... what?　Strange?　Did I hear it wrong?　308 times now.........

''........Huh?　What? ... 308 times?　Seriously, so UR0, hey!　It's not like it's a big bomb!

　I was so focused on drawing the comp gacha that I forgot about it, but I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten a single UR when I think back.
　What? Wait a minute...no URs in 308 times, eh?

'Hah, hah, hah!

Oh, you'll settle down!　We have a complete set of comps, so why not!

You can't do that!　Whoa!

Should I not tell you?

Uh-huh, I'm the one who got it out.

　I started hyperventilating, and then I just started screaming and sprawled out on the floor.
　It can't be, it can't be. Did they lower the odds because it was a comp gacha?　Are you kidding me?
　In this case, it's like a big bombing, even though I've worked so hard to get the comp gacha together.......

　When I stand up, I'm instantly restrained by Noor with a featherweight choke from behind, and Esther gives me a zit-eyed look.
　I didn't get into our circle like that, and I saw Sisha lovingly clutching her phone in front of her chest.
　Well, we got through this time, so let's call it a day.
