140-2nd pickup gacha




 I was almost drunk and drunk in Sisha's room, but I was awakened by the notification of the gacha.
 I left the room with her to immediately turn the gacha, and went to wake up Noor and the others.
 I was completely sober, but I asked Sisha to cast a recovery spell on me, just in case. And, just in case, I'll get rid of the smell of alcohol.
 If Noor and the others find out that we've been drinking alone, they might say something about it.

 I'm going to go wake up Noll and Esther and leave Luna in charge of Sisha.
 Noor was still playing with Moffoot in the petting shed, and Esther was asleep, but her sleep was shallow, and she woke up soon after.
 And Luna was also woken up safely by Sisha, and they all gathered in the living room, even though it was late at night.

''It's an annoying mess to come at this hour, isn't it?

'Huh ... yes. But I've always waited until this long to turn it in, so I'm still okay with it.

I was asleep, and I'm sorry to wake you up.

...sleepy.

Mr. Luna, should I not have woken you up after all?

'It's fine. If you're going to mess up, I don't blame you. I'd rather have you wake me up.

 There was an option to turn it in in the morning, but I didn't know what to expect depending on the outcome of the gacha.
 In the worst case scenario, I could use up all the magic stones and go hunting... so I wanted to pull it out early.
 I mean, I can't hold out until morning!

So, what kind of a mess is it this time, sir?

It's a pickup.

'That's the mess you got the Sisha summons for, right?

'I've been picked up? Uh-huh, that's me indeed!

 Sisha sniffs and puts her hands on her hips, grinning with satisfaction. Are you that happy to have been picked up.......

It's not the mess I was expecting, but is it okay?

'Hmmm, it's a touchy subject but let's see what's being picked up anyway.

 I just saw a notification showing a pickup gacha being held, so I haven't seen what it's all about yet.
 That's why I quickly switched my phone to the gacha screen to check it out.

------
 Pickup target
 UR
Cloe Aurelia.
Heidi Bruegel.
Grimoire "Gras
The Ring of the Nibelung, "Twilight of the Gods
Imbolc.
 SSR
Adamant system
Grimoire type
Nibelung type
Bracelets
-------

The Nibelung's ring, is there an UR as well?

''So Grimoire has UR stuff too...''

The top two are a unit. Khloe is a princess and Heidi is a magic warrior. Eimur was a regular UR weapon, I believe.

Picking up 5 URs........ It's going to be a little tough to go after the units.

 Last time there were 4 pickups, but now there are 5 more.
 And they even picked up SSR's this time?
 I think the adamantines are the armor I use... but I converted the shield to points last time.
 Why the hell is this coming at this time! I guess I should have left this one unconverted....
 I don't blame you for regretting it because of the consequences, but it's frustrating!

 Still, I'm surprised there's UR for Grimoire and Nibelung.
 I wonder if this is something if I get them all.
 The SSR's have been picked up as well, so I'll be lucky if I can get the rest of them as well.

Heihachi, do you want to spin it or not?

I will. If you don't play the lottery, then what is Heihachi?

Hmm, as if I didn't know what that meant, but I understand.

So, in the end, you will turn it in, won't you?

 Oops, it seemed like you were wondering if you should turn it in because you were thinking about it.
 Picking up five URs is a lot, but there are two units in it.
 If you give out at least two URs, you'll probably get at least one of the summonses.
 Besides, unlike the last pickup, this time it's an 11-round pickup and a one-shot pickup.
 Since you can draw a lot of them, there's a sense of relief in that.

Which one is your brother's target?

I'd be grateful for either of you to be here but if I wanted to, I'd say Krowe.

You're a capability-improvement kind of guy, aren't you?

''Yeah, the GC has greatly improved the status of each unit and reduced the cool time of their skills. And he himself has a reasonable amount of combat ability.

'Wouldn't it help to have Clawe here to relieve my post-skill muscle aches and pains?

That's a possibility.

 I didn't have Clawe, but it's only a UR buffed unit in GC, and it seemed to have a ridiculous ability boosting effect.
 Noll also has a buff, so with the synergy of the two of them, there's nothing to fear.
 However, I've heard that she has a rather high-handed personality, perhaps because she's a princess.
 I'm worried that if I invite her to join me, she'll have a lot of trouble.

 Heidi, as her name suggests, is a warrior who can use magic. The closest image I have is to think of Noll being able to use magic.
 Of course she's strong because she's only a UR, but if I compare her to Clawe.......

What's the order in which we'll turn in this time? How much of the gacha do you plan to spin?

'Ummm ... I guess I'd like to run it until either Clawe or Heidi is out. I might as well just end it when the unit comes out.

That's a very humble thing for a guy like Heihachi to say.

Haha, I understand the concept of quitting time! .... hmm? What's wrong with you looking at me like that?

Nothing....

 I'm not the kind of person who draws a lot of junk without a care in the world.
 Just because I have a lot of magic stones doesn't mean I'm going to use them all up.
 The main purpose of this one is to increase our strength, and I'll consider stopping when a unit comes along that doesn't involve a pickup.
 Luna is staring at me with zit eyes, but I don't care, I don't care.

 More importantly, I need to decide how much I'm going to turn it in.
 I'm not going to use up all of the 2100 magic stones I have. It's too risky for me to bump them all up with this pickup; if I'm only going to go for Clawe out of the five, it might not be enough to melt them all down.
 I want to save them for when a box-like mess comes along, so let's keep it at around 1,000 pieces first.
 Let's see........3 times each would be just right, 5 players and 1 animal, so that's 18 times in a row of 11, consuming 900 magic stones.

''Alright, let's start with three times each.

It's a good thing that everyone can draw the same number of times when there's enough magic stones to spare.

'It's all thanks to the hard work your brothers have done to save up for the night.

'No, no, no, we certainly worked on it all night, but the only reason we've saved up so much is because we all worked together. Also, I have to thank Dius, Mr. Glynn and the others.

 I'm the one who did the best this time, but it's also thanks to Noll and the others who hunted every day and Luna helped me at night.
 It was with everyone's help that I was able to spin the mess like this.
 Also, there were magic stones sent by Dius and Glynn-san. I'll have to go and thank them next time.

 After discussing what to do with the order of the gacha, we decided to start with Sisha.

''Uh-huh, I'm sorry for always letting you draw first.

'In the middle of the game, I got UR and couldn't pull it out! I don't know what the fuss is about.

No, no, no. It's not like I'm going to make a fuss about it.

 With one hand flapping, Sisha reacts as if she's being joked about.
 If it ends in the middle of the game and I can't pull out, she'll definitely make a scene........

''I'd like to share some of Sisha and Okura-dono's brazenness with you........''

We're very much alike. But I like that about you.

Well, it sounds like you two have hit it off. And earlier... no, it was nothing.

 Why am I in there too........
 Compared to Sisuha, I'm a sensitive and pure-hearted person.
 I'm very vulnerable, so treat it carefully!

Well, first of all, let's get the gacha. Dude!

 Finally, he started the gacha, which was the main topic of the game.
 Sisha, the first one, boldly taps her phone and spins the eleventh consecutive gacha.
 A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure box is silver.

[R Food, R Plushie, R Flash Ball, R Lunchbox, R Candle, R Lamp, R Perfume, R Gold Bullion, R Potion x 10, R Cutlass, R Magic Dynamite]

Hey, you're upside down.

''Ugh it's only the first time, the first time. Don't be in a hurry, let's calm down!

Sisha should calm down first.

 Luna taps the fussing Sisha on the shoulder to calm her down.
 Could you please stop putting out gross images from the first one........

 After turning the gacha twice more, the treasure chest was gold and white.

[R Speaker, R Safe, SR Excalibur, R Plushie, SR Pot Lid, R Bone Necklace, R Chakram, R Amulet, SR Tomahawk, R Sword, SR Magic Shield]

[R Snacks, SR Blessing Necklace, R All-Purpose Medicine, SR Clairvoyance, R Camp Set, SR Magic Shield, R Transceiver, R Animal Video, R Ice Ring, SR Twin Saber, SSR Adamant Armor]

'Huh, I didn't want to just end up with money...'

But it's a bit of a dupe.

''It's good. This will strengthen Okura-san's armor.

Yeah. Besides, now I know the pickup is working properly.

 I've certainly found this to be a pick up.
 And even though it's a dupe, I don't know if it's a dupe, but if it's an adamant system, it's good because it can be stacked, except for shields.
 I don't know if Grimoire and Nibelung systems can be stacked... but I have a use for converting them into multiple equipment and house extension points, so I don't have a problem with that.

 After replacing Sisuha, it's Luna's turn to take second place.

''Hmm, last time I dabbled in UR, so I'll give you a proper UR this time.

Oh, Luna is going to do it, sir.

Good luck with mine!

I'm on it.

 The last time I saw her, Luna drew a UR in the box gacha.
 Maybe that's why her eyes, which usually don't feel motivated or alive, have a light in them.
 

 First, Luna presses the eleventh gacha.
 A treasure chest is shown on the screen. And the treasure chests are silver and gold.

[R Food, SR Excalibur, SR Arm Cover, SR Autoguard Sphere, SR Chaos Ring, R Panacea, SR Beacon, R Log, R Hinoki Stick, R Long Coat, and SR Gold Mace]

 Second time.
 The treasure chests are silver and gold.

[SR Excalibur, SR Nike Shoes, SR Ring of Charity, R Shovel, SR Ring of Protection, R Longsword, R Bogan, SR Stabilizer, SR Fist of Shura, R Magic Potion x 10, R Camp Set]

 .... for the third time.
 Silver, Gold.

[R Snack, SR Excalibur, R Thin Book, SR Basho Fan, SR Emblem of Caduceus, SR Treasure of Life, R Metal Whip, R Mask, SR Beacon, R Shuriken, SR Waist Pouch]

I'm going to bed.

Hey, don't look so cocky!

I don't have any scruples.

Oh well, don't be so grumpy.

Ugh.

 After finishing the third mess, Luna had returned to her usual lifeless eyes. Rather, it might be worse than usual........
 Putting her phone on the desk, she got up from her chair and was about to go back to her room, but Sisha hugged her from behind and stopped her from moving.
 I'm not happy with my mouth, but then I'm placed on Sisha's lap, and she's quieted down, seemingly reluctantly patting my head.

 After a fuss, it's time for the Nol of Expectations.

''Since it's early this time, we can turn it around without worry.

What are you confused about? Noor, because I believe in you. I have faith in you that you'll definitely draw UR, you know.

I wish you would stop pressuring me like that! Why are you being so mean to me, sir!

'Ha, bad bad. Just kidding.

 Noll is often an afterthought, because she's so much more likely to mess up while everyone else is expected to.
 That's how much I trust her luck with gacha, though.
 Even if you only consider the acquisition rate of SSRs without URs, she's probably putting out enough to compete with Moffitt.
 As proof, the first one I just started turning in is also........oh, white.

[R Potion x 10, SR Nikeh's Shoes, R Chrome Helm, SR Excalibur, R Transceiver, R Knife, SR Spike Shield, SR Gorgeous Shoes, R Hot Ring, SR High Quality Eye Mask, SSR Grimoire 'Ela']

 With the momentum, Noll drew yet another 11 stacks, and this time it was gold.

[SR pot lid, R stuffed animal, R ice ring, SR beacon, SR high grade lamp, R cloth clothes, R copper leggings, SR high potion x 10, R smoke ball, R telescope, R estok]

Okura-dono, are you sure you want to go for the tenth inning next time?

Come in.

Thank you very much, sir.

 You're going to have a single shot here. I knew Nol seems to prefer the single shot teaching.
 For me, it's a delicate point because I'll lose money for one time, but....
 With that in mind, I watch as Nolle spins one-off gacha after another.

【R Vacuum Cleaner】, 【SR Excalibur】, 【R Snack】, 【SSR Nibelung's Ring 'Gold of the Rhine'】, 【SR Francisca】, 【R Panacea】, 【SSR Dimension Bracelet】, 【SR Fang Tiangui】, 【SR Gold Bracelet】, 【R Food】.

Mmm, that's okay, I guess.

'Is it sarcasm to say it's so-so when there are three SSRs out there?

'It looks like Heihachi has a lot to live up to. Share your luck with a little blood.

What, what? Don't bite it, sir!

 Sisha and Luna, who ended up being cruel, are looking at Noor with a resentful look on their faces.
 Instead of looking at them, Luna walks behind Noor and puts her hand and chin on his shoulder and looks like she's about to bite him.
 I didn't expect to get two SSRs in a single shot...I didn't get any URs, but Noll's luck with gacha is still astounding.

 When the Nors have settled down, it's Estelle's turn to go.

'Well then, I'm next.

'I'd like to see Clawe and the others come, but from Esther's point of view, would you like to go after Grimoire as well?

''Yes, that's of course. The only thing left is the light-attribute Grimoire, so I think that's what this UR thing is...''

 This time around, the highlight pickup is the UR Grimoire.
 I'm wondering if this is the last one since we have the Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Dark Grimoire.
 If we have them all, there might be something in there, and that's pretty interesting, even for me.

 Estelle looks calm and taps the 11-ring gacha.
 A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver and gold.

[R Bone Necklace, SR Ring of Protection, R Potion x 10, SR Beacon, SR Excalibur, R Hardcover, R Bone Knife, R Shoulder Pad, SR Thick Book, SR Shoulder Bag, and SR Nikeh's Shoes]

 Once again, Esther taps the 11-round gacha, but the result is.......gold.

[R Snack, SR Angel's Clothing, SR Pot Lid, R Panacea, SR Beacon, R Plushie, SR Treasure of Charity, SR Corona Ring, SR Fangtian Geuk, R Sleeping Bag, R Teardrop Ball]

Mmm, I'm at my wit's end.

Esther should join me.

I'm going to be like that. I've always been like this, haven't I? I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

 Luna is happily talking to Estelle, who had stopped at gold for two consecutive years.
 It's really frustrating that only one person ended up in gold........

 Estelle taps her phone with a slightly unflattering expression, probably because Luna has made her anxious.
 A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver, gold, white and rainbow.

'Eh ... yay. Is this my first UR?

'Whoa! Well done, Esther!

'Huh, you could have given me more compliments.

 Estelle, who drew a UR, clenched her fist in one hand and raised it in a small way.
 Thinking back, Estelle had never drawn a UR before.
 Well, that's a delight. 

'What's inside, what's inside!

d*mn, what a mess but congratulations.

'I hope this is enough to get Clawe or Heidi to come to you...'

 It's nice to see UR out, but the problem is what's in it.
 Since it's in pickup mode, the chances of getting one of those five are high.
 However, in the usual pattern, if they come out early, they're usually off.
 With a lingering feeling of joy at having drawn a UR, Esther taps the screen further and watches the contents that came out.

[R Transceiver, R Wind Rod, SR Magic Blade, R Tiara, SR Beacon, SR Nikeh's Shoes, SR Explosive Ticket, R Junk Ring, SR Air Rope, SSR Grimoire 'Awaritia', UR Freesia]

 What? Huh, freesia?
 He slipped out of the pickup........seriously?

"Oh my God, it's Freesia. I know it's not a pickup target, but since there's a unit, I guess I accomplished my goal?

''That's right. It came out much faster, and it's a good thing we didn't consume too many magic stones.

Huh, so that's the end of the mess for now. Well, it's a good thing.

'So it's over. It's too bad we didn't even draw an SSR this time.

 The Noles look like they want to be done with it. But........is this the end?
 It's coming ... a stream, a steady stream! We should continue here, that's what my instincts are telling me.
 I mean, I haven't even pulled one yet. There's no way I'm going to let the process end like this!

I'm sorry, I'm just finishing up, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to play a lot of games.

'What do you mean by that, sir? The unit is already out!

'You haven't seen the UR pickup yet! We should target this stream! First I said until either Clawe or Heidi came out!

'I think he said it could be over when the unit comes out...'

After all, what's the point of never pulling it off?

'They said I might make a fuss if I couldn't pull it off, but isn't that true for Okura-san too...'

 If it ends like this, even if you haven't pulled the pickup, it will end in victory.
 But....it's still hard to just watch it end. I want to play the gash, too.
 At the very least, I'd like to be able to draw it, even if it's just once.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. Your brother might go crazy if you let it end like this.

Oh, that's true, too.

'It certainly sounds dangerous to leave it incomplete as it is, doesn't it? Okura-san, how's that working out for you?

Thank you!

 Thanks to Esther's help, me and Moffitt were also given permission to turn them three times each.
 Thank you so much, thank you so much.....
 According to the order we had decided on at first, Moffoot was next, so we decided to continue.

Then, Moffoot, we're going!

You're not letting him walk this time, are you?

You're tired of playing with me.

 Even though it's nighttime, I've been running around in the petting shed.
 Noor brought the phone in front of Moffoot, who was holding it in his arms, and made him press the button for the eleventh series of messes with his paws.
 Moffoot, as if he wanted to sleep, booed and popped it repeatedly.
 And after spinning the gacha 3 times in one go, it's 1 gold and 2 white.

[R Food, R Snack, SR Ring of Protection, R Shortspear, SR Magic Blade, SR Excalibur, R Thunder Rod, SR Butterfly Grip, R Panacea, R Potion x 10, SR Basho Fan]

[R Plushie, SR Fangtian Weapon, R Longsword, SR Shoulder Bag, SR Chaos Ring, SR Ring of Protection, R Chrome Armor, R Animal Video, R Deodorant, SSR Adamant Shield, SSR Snake Belly Sword]

[R Smoke Ball, SR Beacon, SR Stocking Wand, R Magic Potion x 10, R Bone Knife, SR Magic Blade, R Transceiver, R Camping Set, SR Thick Book, SR Pot Lid, SSR Power Bracelet]

Even if you don't get a UR, that's still a mo-foot.

''How lucky are you and Noll-san to get three SSRs in three times...''

Moffat, share that luck with me.

That's a good thing.

 The lucky rabbit is not a date........I didn't get any URs, but I got three SSRs.
 After finishing the gacha, Moffitt is lying down on Noor's lap with a pat on the floor.
 He did a really good job. I'm not going to lose either!

Well, the real fight is finally here, isn't it?

Okura-dono has always been very confident when it comes to gacha, hasn't he...

'Hmm, that's nice like your brother. Good luck.

 Finally, it's my turn.
 Since I'm going to finish it off, I still want to pull a UR and finish it off with a bang!
 With that enthusiasm in mind, I tapped the eleventh consecutive gacha.
 A treasure chest appeared on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver and gold.

[R Panacea, SR Pot Lid, SR Beacon, R Plushie, SR Excalibur, SR Magic Blade, SR Ring of Happiness, R Bone Ring, SR Philosopher's Stone, SR Gold Mace, R Food]

Gulp.

Enthusiasm alone won't get you out, will it?

You're going to bomb with me.

"Don't try to drag me into your bombing crew! I'll give you an UR in the next one!

 Luna is smiling at me and beckoning me to join her.
 Stop trying to drag people down like that!
 As if to decline Luna's invitation, I tapped my phone vigorously.
 A treasure chest appeared on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver, gold.

[R Food, SR Pot Lid, SR Protection Ring, R Snack, SR Magic Blade, SR Beacon, R Lamp, R Spatha, SR Nike Shoe, R Sandals, SR Treasure Ball of Life]

Ho-ho-ho!

That's why I told you not to do this...

But there's one more time left. You might get the next one.

Oh, well I guess so.

 Oh no........................2 consecutive gold stops.
 If it continues like this, all the chances we've gotten are ruined.
 At least, if only they'd come up with SSR and SSR...!

Whew.

 Calming my disturbed mind, I meditated.
 My mind is distracted, dismissing my thoughts and thinking only of the gacha. The image I imagine is me always drawing UR.
 ........Okay, good! Let's go!

 A treasure chest is shown on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver.

[R Snack, R Spatha, R Plushie, R Transceiver, R Potion x 10, R Sleeping Bag, R Thin Book, R Boots, R Steel Scythe, R Basket Hand, R Sword]

'Whoa, whoa!

Heihachi, my friend.

Ughhhh.....

We can't do it again, sir.

There, there, there! Please have mercy!

No, sir!

 One last gory detail. It's not just Luna and her friends, it's me, and I'm worse than her!
 I tried to beg Noor to let me pull it again, but he adamantly refused, and I confiscated my phone.
 d*mn it, d*mn it! .........But, well, I was able to spin the gacha, and I think it's good that I got Freesia.
