90-Step up gacha




 After we finished attacking the labyrinth, we went straight home.
 And now we all gathered around our desks, put our phones in the middle and are fully prepared to draw the gacha.

Thank you all for this time. Thanks to you, we are able to safely spin the gacha like this. My deepest thanks!

What's the matter with you....

You're the usual creepy Okura-san.

 I stood up, greeted him, and bowed my head as he hit the desk.
 I was about to give up this time, but thanks to Noll and the others, I'll be able to draw the mess.
 I couldn't be happier.

 When I lifted my head, the girls saw my best embodiment of gratitude, and their reaction was subtle.
 Noor let out a dumbfounded voice as he stroked his head on Moffat's lap and Sisha grinned and said it was creepy.
 

'So, I'm going to pull a gutter.......do Esther and Luna need a break?

 Estelle and Luna are also sitting around the desk with me, but they are slightly more quiet, not as energetic as usual.

'I'm interested in the mess, so I'll see to it and then I'll go to bed.

'I'm feeling a bit sick, but I'm curious, so I'll take a break when I'm done too.

 I asked her just to be sure, but apparently she can tolerate the mess.
 I thought Luna would prioritize sleeping, but the gacha is still a concern.

 Still, since she looked so ill, Sisha is no good, that's no way!
 I thought she was going to try to force Luna to sleep... but when I looked at her, she was smiling and looking after Luna with a smile on her face.

''Can I help you?''

Oh, no, I thought Sisha would say something about forcing Luna to sleep with him.

 My eyes met with Sisha's when she noticed my gaze and said what she was thinking.

''Luna-san, you seem to be looking forward to it. I won't do anything so wild as to take that away from you.''

I'm not really looking forward to it. I'm just curious.

 When Sisha looked at Luna with a smile and said that, Luna blushed and pouted and turned away from Sisha.
 That's right. It's unthinkable that that Luna didn't go to bed right after she came back and stayed awake and here.
 It seems like she's looking forward to it that much, so do you feel sorry for her if she forces you to take a break?

So, was it a step-up gacha this time?

'Oh, yes. And I even have premium tickets.

Oh, well, then I guess your brother won't go crazy this time.

 I've been working hard for the step-up gacha, and what a surprise, I even got a premium ticket this time.
 This is going to be a UR festival for sure.

'Going crazy...? What does it mean to go crazy with a mess?

'Haha you'll know it when you see it.

 Luna tilts her head and wonders what Esther said.
 I can't believe it's insane. I've always been cool with the decision to mess up.
 Even this time.........what? Well, this time you're only going to play the mess - five times.

 Four step-ups and one ticket. And we're five and one of them.
 One of us can't gacha this time.
 ........What should we do? Before we do it, we should choose who we don't turn to, right?
 Do I pick it, or do you want to play rock-paper-scissors to decide?

 
 I'm always getting a lot of draws from them, and maybe I should be the one to back off.
 Ugh, I want to play the gacha.

Since we can only do five times, should Nolu and the others draw this time without me?

What?

 Trying to keep my expression as unchanged as possible, I spoke up, pretending to be normal.
 Then everyone except Luna raised their voices. Boo to Moffoot! And then he starts squealing.
 Luna's body freaks out and scurries around her to see what's going on, because all of a sudden everyone around her has made a sound.
 I had expected it, but I guess I'm still surprised.

''Could it be that there is something wrong even with Okura-dono!

'Is your brother okay? Look, look into my eyes ... hmmm, you seem to be in the right state of consciousness.

Are the residual thoughts of the smiter attached to it? Let's cleanse your body thoroughly, just in case.

 Esther came to my side and put her hands on my face and stared into my eyes.
 Sisuha also takes out her staff and does a healing spell so intense that her body emits full-body light.
 Hey! That's a bit much, don't you think?

I am normal! God, don't make such a big deal out of this.

I didn't know what was going on. Heihachi didn't say anything strange.

"That's because Luna doesn't know about Lord Okura's abnormality...

 Luna has a dumbfounded expression at such a reaction from Estelle and the others, as if to say that they are overreacting.
 Totally.....Every time, why should they react like this?

''That's fine, but I don't think it's good that your brother can't turn it. So this time, you don't have to let me turn it.

Yes, but...

'No matter. Just watching your brothers pull away is fun enough for me.

Well thank you.

 Esther, who was right next to me as it was after checking my eyes, said she didn't want to play the mess herself.
 I tried to deny it because I was sorry about that, but she put her hand on her cheek and said it was fun just to watch her smile.

 He was pretending to be normal, but I guess he could see through the fact that I wanted to spin it.
 Since you've taken care of me, I'll be grateful to pull it off here.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you have to be able to see that you are not the only one.

Hmm? I don't know, but if Heihachi says so, so be it.

 We decided to discuss who would draw in which order before turning the gacha.
 This is Luna's first time, so I'd like to let her draw a reasonably good one.
 But since it won't be any fun if she's a confirmed UR, I'll let her draw a premium ticket.

The first and second should be me or Sisha, and the third and fourth should be Noor or Moffatt.

 Since we don't have a lot of turns, I still want to turn the lucky ones into the second half whenever possible.
 That's why I left Noor and Moffitt behind and put me and Sisha in the first half.

''We're fighting for last place.......Okura-san, you're aware of your lack of luck, aren't you?

Shut up!

 It's frustrating, but I admit that I've had good luck with Noor and Moffitt's mess, too.
 Even I........well, I think they're good in their own way.......

 Afterwards, as a result of our discussion, it was decided that Sisha, me, Moffitt, and Noor would draw in that order.

''Then we'll turn it around.

 Sisha, the first one, quickly tapped her phone.
 The first one is confirmed to be SR or better.

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

[SR Beacon]

Ah........I knew it.......

 Sisha looks at the results and bang on the desk with one hand banging on the desk in frustration.
 The first one wasn't very promising to begin with so I can't blame her.

'Okay, my turn. Hmmm, I'll show you. I'm going to show you my luck of getting over the probability barrier, my luck of getting the gacha!

Do you really mean that?

I like the way your brother never gives up.

 My turn next.
 The second time around, the odds of getting an SSR or better are up.
 I won't say SSR here, I'll pull a UR, proving that I'm lucky enough to be in the gutter!

 I tapped my phone vigorously.
 A treasure chest appeared on the screen. And the treasure chest was silver, gold. It stopped at gold.

[SR Excalibur]

'How did you come up with this? Haha!

 I slammed the desk with my hands and shouted, as did Sisha.
 f*ck you! You're not just an SSR, you're an SR!

''Uh-huh, I can't believe it's the same SR as mine, even for the second time. Okura-san is loved by Excalibur.

 Seeing me fussing, Sisha holds her hand over her mouth and grins happily.
 

...don't you think you're making too much noise?

Okura-dono's passion for gacha is extraordinary. It's better that he doesn't just roll on the floor and cry.

Rolling on the floor......... Heihachi.........well, what the hell, you should take care of yourself a bit.

 Luna is pulling back slightly as she sees us pulling out the mess and making a lot of noise.
 And when she heard that we had rolled on the floor in the past, she called out to me while looking at me with pitying eyes.

 .........I wonder. For some reason, it makes me sad to be told to take care of myself by a young girl with these eyes.
 Should I weigh myself a little more?

Now it's Moffoot! Now, we must go!

 With an indescribable air in the air, Noor placed Moffitt on the desk to advance as if he were re-partitioning.
 As usual, he trotted closer to the phone and Moffitt tapped the button on the gacha.
 The third one was confirmed to be SSR or higher. With Moffitt's good fortune added to that, even UR is not too far off.

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

[SSR Grimoire 'Inwidia'

 .........seriously?



Let's hope that one is a lock-in and we can get a ticket.

 Hopefully I'll be able to get three URs just this time, but reality is grim.
 All that's left is the fourth and the ticket.............I'll have to get two somehow.

 I glanced at Luna expectantly, and my body shook with a momentary jolt as I glanced at Luna.

''What, what?''

Luna, please. We have two choices, SSR or UR! Luna can definitely pull it off. You have to believe in yourself!

'You can do it, Luna! Good luck winning the UR!

 I let Luna hold my phone and I send her a pep talk.
 Sisha follows, clenching her fists, and tells her to go for it.

 But Luna sees us, and gets off her chair and hides behind Noor.
 Huh........what's going on?

'Nole, Esther these two are scary...'

Okura-dono, Sis-ha, you can't do that, can you? The two of you are too stimulating for Luna.

It's your first time, so you shouldn't be putting so much pressure on him. You've got to take it easy on him.

 Noll strokes Luna's head, goodness gracious, and shields her with his body so she can't see him from us.
 And for some reason, Esther even scolded me.
 What's the point of being irritated..............I was just encouraging her in a normal way.

''Then we'll do it.''

 Luna, who was frightened by me and Sisha, went back to her seat and began to spin the gacha.
 The premium ticket is a confirmed SSR or higher.
 Please pray that we get an UR!

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

[SSR synthesizer]

 My wish was vain, and the result was SSR.
 Now, UR is only a confirmed portion.

This is....a failure? I'm sorry....

'It's all right, Miss Luna! You don't have to worry about that at all! Right? Okura-san.

'Eh ... oh, yeah. Luna, you don't have to worry about it.

Mmmm... okay.

 Luna looked down at her face apologetically and slumped.
 Then Sisha immediately came up next to me and put her hand on my shoulder and told me not to worry about it.
 I don't mean to say anything, but.......well, I'm sure it's a pity that it's the first time I've been treated like a bummer.

 So although I told her not to worry about it, Luna replied with a frown on her face, looking unconvinced.
 I hope you'll be properly pleased the next time you do it.

'So it's me at last, it's kind of comforting to think that UR is confirmed.

'Haha, funny you should say that. What do you think I did with Noor and Moffat in the second half of the year for?

Huh?

 It was Noll's turn, but he was in a loose and reassuring mood because it was UR confirmed.
 Oh come on, you're not forgetting, are you?
 You're going to think that anything goes as long as you get UR.

I'm hoping they don't dumb it down.

Why are you pressuring me like that?

Oh, well, you can't blame your brother.

 If it's dumbed down, all the hard work I worked so hard for will be ruined.
 So even if it's a confirmed UR, it's ridiculous to be distracted.
 Good equipment, or I had Noll or Moffat pull it for a new unit.
 When I said that, Noll, who had seemed distracted earlier, began to shake with a buzz.



 Noor tapped his phone, his fingers shaking as he plopped down in a crying voice.
 A treasure chest appeared on the screen. And the treasure chest was silver, gold, white, and rainbow. It stopped at the rainbow of course.

[UR Centimeter Turbra]

 Whoa, there's a UR I don't know about.
 From the name, it's not a unit, is it an equipment system?

Good for you, Mr. Noll.

I'm really glad to hear that... Why do I have to be so nervous when all I have to do is draw a gacha?

'No, I believed in Noor! You've done a great job!

It's a lie it's an absolute lie.

 After finishing the mess, Nolu was relieved to see that she got a UR without a dupe.
 I called out to her that I believed in her, but she doubted me.
 I trusted her to do it because I believed Noll would do it.....but that's okay.

 Now, let's get on with it and see what we've done this time.
 First up was the fourth Grimoire. When I took it out, it's a blue book with a mermaid-like creature on it.

 ------
Grimoire's "Inwidia
 Water magic attack +100%.
 Increases the user's MP recovery speed.
 ------.

 Finally, we have four strains of fire, wind, earth and water.
 So that means the remaining two strains are Darkness and Light?

Anyway, these are Esther's.

'Hmm, thank you. Now we can do more powerful magic.

What do you intend to do with this strengthened...?

 I'm fighting mainly fire magic, but it's all a hell of a lot of magic.
 The variations are increasing, which is scary but reliable.

 Next is the synthesizer. When I materialized it, a white box about 1 meter in length and width, about half my height, came out.

 ------
Synthesis machine
 The two materials can be mixed together to create a new one with a certain probability.
 ------.

 You mean you can put stuff in here and mix it up?
 But I'm afraid of the constant probability.......what happens if I fail?

That's a pretty tough one.

'Yes. It's amazing that you can mix things together to make things, but what does it look like?

 Luna is checking out the synthesizer, banging on it with interest.
 I'm curious to see what kind of things I can make, but I'll have to wait until next time to try it out.

 Alright, only UR left!
 Hmmm, this is the best part!

 ------
Centimeter Tarbula
 Changes its shape using brain waves to create a remote-controlled object.
 Up to five objects can be created at a time, and if they are destroyed, they will be replenished after a certain period of time.
 ------.

 When I materialized it, a hemispherical, transparent crystal that could fit in the palm of my hand came out.
 ........What is this?

They are rather small, aren't they?

'It's UR, so I'm sure it's a great thing in its own right, but...'

It's a mess.

But this remote control thing sounds kind of awesome.

 Hmmm... making an object and controlling it remotely, huh?
 Isn't it very, very subtle?
 Let's just try and create it for now.........

''Whoa! Gross!

It's undulating, like a slime.

 When I reminded him to come out like a magician, the crystal started to glow and a silvery sizzling liquid started to flow out.
 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

 What is this........it's like mercury.
 It reminds me of the iron slime in the maze.

Why don't you try moving it around, bro?

Yeah. How well do you think they can operate it?

 I reminded him to move while looking at the silver sphere, and he began to move forward, jumping around in a ponytailed manner.
 It moved like a complete slime.
 Moffoot is watching it, booming and floor-donning and threatening.

'You're slow,'

'Yes. Can't you move it other than to bounce?

 Luna is playing with the slowly bouncing sphere, poking it with her fingers.
 The vibrations are transmitted all at once from the place where it is touched, and the whole thing seems to undulate, which is interesting.

 

What? And I flew, Heihachi!

It's great, sir! There is a silver sphere floating in the air!

 The moment I imagined flying or something, the silver sphere emerged about one meter above the ground.
 This.........this means that it moves completely as I imagined it would?
 The reason it bounced and moved earlier was because I was imagining a slime?

 Well how about this?

'Yikes! Oh, brother, it's dangerous!

Okura-san, stop it, please stop it!

You can't... You can't control it!

 The moment I thought of how quickly I could move it like the slime in the labyrinth, it suddenly accelerated this time and crashed into the wall of my home.
 Then, as soon as I thought it had stopped, it hit the ceiling, hit the floor, and flew around the room in all directions.

 I was able to remind it to stop right away, but it's going to be difficult to use without proper practice.
 But this might be a pretty good one to get.
