209-Ceiling gacha




 After we fought off the demon attack, we helped rebuild the damaged town.
 The Adventurer's Association had set up a treatment center for the injured, so we left Sisha and I to patrol the town.
 We're busy fixing dangerous places with collapsed buildings and impassable roads, and if there are injured people who can't move, we give them potions to recover.
 Working together with adventurers and various other people, the town finally settled down around midnight.
 I'll report on some of the events in the Holy Land, and I'll have more details later with Irina-san.

 Instead of going home today, we're staying at the inn that the Adventurer's Association has prepared for us, and although I don't think there's anything more to do, we're prepared for just in case.
 If something happens, I'm sure the staff will come running over in a heartbeat.
 Both Freesia and Luna are staying with me since they helped me as long as their identities are not exposed.
 I'm also bringing Moffitt home with me from his hut.

 So the time for the mess I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

''Fuhahahahaha! Here it is, finally!

Despite all that's happened today, Lord Okura is in good spirits...

'It's been like this ever since I got the notification. Was it that good of a mess?

'Oh! Don't be surprised to hear that! It's a ceiling gusher!

What's that ceiling gacha all about? It doesn't seem like a bad mess from the reaction, though.

The ceiling gacha is literally a gacha with a ceiling! If you mess up a certain number of times, you'll get a definite UR to be released!

'Confirmed and UR! It's a great, great mess!

 Freesia is jumping up and down, expressing her awesomeness with her body.
 But Luna, on the other hand, heard my explanation, crossed her arms and opened her mouth with a pensive expression.

'It sounds benign. But is it really a good mess? I have a feeling there's something more to it than that.

'Oh, come on, you're getting a definite UR. This time it was 110 times, or 11 in a row, 10 times. That's all it takes to get an UR for free!

I've said something strange again.... But it's not bad if you can get the UR confirmed 11 times in a row and 10 times in a row.

'A mere 500 magic stones are enough to confirm UR, it's an explosion of cheapness.

'I know, I know! Together with this reward, I have about 2,000 magic stones on hand, which means I can draw 4 times for a definite UR! You'll get four URs for sure, which is huge! If things go well, Karon-chan.......then let's get on with the mess--

 I was about to say, when Soooo Esther raised her hand and came to a standstill.

''Wait, is it really a good deal for 500 pieces to confirm UR? Sure, it's tempting to get URs for sure, but I think 500 is enough of a consumption of magic stones to be confirmed.

Hmm, it's a number that could be reached with a few turns.

If you think about it, 500 is quite a lot. My senses were completely numbed. It's probably best not to use all the magic stones without thinking about it.

 Apparently, Esther and her friends are reluctant to play the mess.
 Naturally, since it's a ceiling gacha, I was planning to tup all the 2,000 I have now.
 But I had an idea.

'Heck, don't worry, I've got a perfect, perfect plan for you. I have the perfect, perfect plan for you. There's no way I'm going to spin the mess without thinking about it.

Uh-huh, Okura-san has a great sense of humor.

I know it's not a good idea anyway, but I'm going to ask you just in case. What is that plan, sir?

'You're getting four confirmed URs. In addition, there are three premium tickets that were given as rewards. If I draw this many, I should definitely be able to draw at least one summon stone. That way, the efficiency of the magic stone hunt will increase even more, and you can collect the amount you've spent right away!

''I feel like it's out of whack when the assumption is to draw the summons from the beginning...''

It's not a good idea to be too optimistic since there's a cost issue. It's a good idea to keep a few things in reserve for the next gacha, even if the UR is confirmed. And wouldn't it be better to have a boxed gacha where you know the target in advance?

 ........If you ask me, that might be true.
 Even if I could draw units from this, I wouldn't be able to summon them right away because of the lack of cost.
 If more event gacha came with that, then we would definitely be short on numbers.

''That's right. As expected, it's not a good idea to hit all the magic stones. The ceiling is a sweet temptation. In the first place, there's not even a pickup just because it's a ceiling UR...''

But when the UR is confirmed, you'll want to spin it. It's a good idea to use the 1,000 magic stones that you received as a reward, so how do you think you'll be able to play the 220th consecutive gacha?

 Yeah, I guess that's about right...if I have 1,000 pieces saved, I can get some back.
 Once everyone was satisfied with that, they decided on the allocation of this time's gacha.

In that case, we'll each get three tickets this time, and the last one will have the right to draw three premium tickets instead of two.

 We're six and one of them, so we can't all turn three times each.
 We have premium tickets this time around, so that'll make up for the 11 stacks and one less time for each of us.
 Since the UR is confirmed and the premium ticket is a premium ticket, the expected value of the UR might be higher than one time in 11 series.
 Of course I'm going for the last one!

Then you can start with Sisgah.

'Ohohohohoho, don't mind me. I'll be the last one.

Haha, don't be shy. I'll be the last one in line and you'll get the first spear.

We're both aiming for a confirmed UR, and we're not hiding it at all...

It's ugly.

'Yes! I want to be the first to mess up!

"Come in!

''We were fighting and our thoughts match there........ Let's give the two of you a definite share.

 Sisha and I held out our phones to Freesia, and Esther and the others looked at us with dumbfounded eyes.
 Then we discussed it, and it was decided that the first one would be Freesia, and me and Sisha would be either the fourth or the last.
 First, it's Freesia's turn to be the first spear.

''Ehehe, Icchiban again! I'm trying to get the UR out!

Haha, he said he wouldn't have a hard time if UR came out so easily.

''That's why it's a ceiling gacha! If this is the way to get URs, I'm even willing to stay with Freesia-san for an entire day out.

'Really! We're definitely going to get UR out!

 Haha, it's nice to be enthusiastic, but that's not the only way URs come out.
 Even Freesia, who is suspected to be a lucky guy, would be difficult to pull off with this ceiling gacha.
 She tapped the gacha twice as I looked on, thinking that.

[SR Pot Lid, SR Caduceus Emblem, R Chrome Shoes, R Plush, SSR Defense Bracelet, R Safe, SR Air Rope, R Ice Ring, R Transceiver, R Knife, R Vacuum Cleaner]

 And one last time, even Freesia gulped and tapped under her breath from nervousness.
 A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure chest is silver, gold, white.......and a rainbow.
 Yes?

'Yes! I got a UR! Come play with us, Sisha!

'Abba ... well, did I say that? I don't remember.

'Seriously, you're putting it out there Sisha, I think you should take responsibility for what you say.

'Would you say that, Okura-san? 

 Sisuha's shoulders slumped and turned white, as if in contemplation.
 Ah, that's what happens when you talk lightly and say unnecessary things.
 You underestimated Freesia's luck too much.......I didn't expect it to come out either, but....

[SR Pot Lid, R Snack, SR Ring of Protection, UR Nibelung's Ring 'Twilight of the Gods', R Smoke Ball, SR Treasure Ball of Life, R Panacea, R Transceiver, R Shoulder Pad, SR Magic Blade, R Teardrop Ball]

'Oh, it's the ring that was picked up before! That's all there is to it, isn't it?

'Hmm, I don't know. It'll probably change the set effect, and we'll just have to wait and see.

 I would have been grateful if the unit came out, but I guess it won't work out that way.
 However, the UR from the Nibelung Ring series that I've been wondering about came out.
 I don't know if we have them all now, but I'm sure they'll be even more capable, so I have high hopes for them.
 After a good start, it's Luna's turn next.

'I don't think I'm going to get out after Freesia. I'll get lucky by sucking blood........Mmm, come to think of it, I've never sucked the blood of an elf before. I wonder what it tastes like.

'Hee! I mean, I don't want you to look at me like that!

It was a joke.

 Receiving Luna's gaze with a jitose thin smile, Freesia is shivering with a buzz.
 
 This is the result of Luna's gacha in such a way.

[SR Pot Lid, R Flash Ball, SR Guardian Ring, SR Blessing Necklace, R Sticky Ball, R Snack, R Kukri, R Magic Paper, R Bone Ring, R Hardcover, R Camp Set]

 After all, there's no reason to get an UR so easily.
 But thanks to the SSR coming out, Luna handed the phone to Estelle without getting into a bad mood.
 And Esther, who will follow, also seems unsure, and she turns the gacha hesitantly.

[R Thin Book, SR Ring of Protection, SSR Liberation Stone, SR Explosive Fishing Rod, SR Fine Cuisine, SR Magic Blade, R Smoke Ball, R Telescope, SR Fist of Shura, R Ice Ring, R Cutlass]

[SR Pot Lid, R Food, R Animal Video, R Spatha, SR Jewel of Charity, R Panacea, R All-Purpose Medicine, R Claw, SR High Grade Cutting Board, SR Prominence Finger, SR Eclipse Sword, R Hardcover]

Hmmm, we can't get a good one without a pickup... I guess it's better to have an SSR.

Well, three times each can happen, can't it?

'It can't be helped. Now then.....

 While looking disappointed, Esther tried to hand her phone to the next guy... but she hasn't yet decided who's going to turn it in, me or Sisha.
 Next up is the fourth of the 11-round gacha, a valuable order that includes the 110th round of UR confirmation.
 And what both Sisha and I are aiming for is the final UR confirmation and premium ticket.
 While glaring at Cis-Ha, whose eyes were bleeding, I decided which one of us would turn in three rounds of rock-paper-scissors...and the result was...I won.

'Way to go! I won! Heh, sorry about that!

Gosh, it's a shame...

''Just confirming the UR is enough, but they both have bloodshot eyes...''

That's deep. The premium ticket is also a confirmed SSR, so I understand how you feel.

 That's why I decided on Sisha for the fourth time.
 We'll start with the 11th gacha for the 10th time with UR confirmed.

[UR Psycho Horn, SR Pot Lid, R Food, SR High Quality Sake, SR Thick Book, R All-Purpose Medicine, SR Beacon, R Magic Dynamite, SR Magic Blade, R Transceiver, SR Philosopher's Stone]

 Thanks to the URs, Sisha taps more gacha with a hokey face.

【R Flash Ball, SR Explosive Ticket, R Treats, SR Happiness Ring, R Magic Potion x 10, R Sticky Ball, SR High Quality Candy, R Sleeping Pill, SR Healing Treasure, R Candle, SR Crux Earrings】

''Ugh, it's terrible except for the confirmed UR...''

'Well, there's no probability increase or pickup. How could Freesia get a UR out of this...?

Heh, not so much.

Freesia is pure without greed.

 
 With an indescribable expression on his face, probably because of the URs, Sisha handed the phone to the next Noor and Moffoot.
 Moffoot let out a pu-pu-pu sound like he was talking in his sleep because it was late at night, and tapped the gacha with Noor. That's six times for two people at once.

Mm, there were no URs, but that's about right.

The wall of UR is still so high. But it's amazing that both of you can consistently draw SSRs.

"We both drew six. It's hard to believe we're both drawing the same gash.

 Even if you don't get any URs, the Nolls are on average rare... they're giving you SSRs like it's a given.
 It's really like Luna says, it's like they're running a completely different gacha.
 The highly anticipated Nolls' gacha is over, and now it's my turn, the true love of them all.

Hehe, I'm going to draw at least 4 URs along with a premium ticket!

I wish it were that easy, but...

I can pull! I even have this good luck charm that Karon-chan gave me!

''Oh, I've been wondering about it for a long time, but that's the power I've been feeling oddly, isn't it? Are those...claws?

'Oh! If only this was the case, Karon-chan would be here!

''So that's what made you so confident? However, it certainly seems to be beneficial if it is the claws of the Dragon God-sama. It doesn't look like he didn't give it to me for the gacha, though...''

 I'm going to make the most of this nail charm that Karon-chan entrusted to me!
 First of all, the normal 11 series.

[R Snack, SR Nike Shoes, SR Pot Lid, SR Excalibur, R Panacea, R Panacea, R Sleeping Bag, SR Beacon, SR Fangtian Geuk, SR Guardian Ring, SR Thick Book, R Plushie]

 .... well, okay, this is just like breaking in. The next confirmed UR is the real deal!

[R Flash Ball, SR Ring of Happiness, UR Grimoire "Gras", R Panacea, SR Pet Hut, R Magic Potion x 10, SR Escape Device, UR Bloodstained Black Clothes, SSR Power Bracelet, SR High Potion x 10, SR Prominence Finger]

'Noooooooo! That's without two URs!

Mmm, my equipment.

Congratulations, Miss Luna!

''You've also got your UR Grimoire. I can't wait to see what he's capable of.

 That's a hell of a good start! Haha, I guess I still have it!
 It's a shame it wasn't a unit - but I'm grateful that Grimoire even got Luna's equipment.
 To think that this will further strengthen Esther, it's reliable but terrifying.
 Well, that leaves me with 3 premium tickets, I'm ready for it!

[SSR Emergency Summons] [SSR Hate Absorber]

 Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
 I'm going to put all my resources on this one!

"Whoa!

 Tap the gacha with a roar.
 A treasure chest appears on the screen. And the treasure box is silver, gold, white ... and a rainbow.

'Oh, we got an UR!

Hmm, that's unusual for Heihachi. I thought you'd miss them all.

Good, good, good! It's a total win! I'm giving this UR everything I've got!

[UR 3D Map App]

 Ah.

''You've successfully removed the summons, haven't you...''

'Maybe the summons are hard to hit. But it looks like we can use the equipment that came out. Grimoire came out too.

''Well, it's not a bad result overall, and it's probably a good idea to compromise in moderation. Hey, Okura-san?

 Smiling, Sisha turned a smile on her face.
 ........That's it, you say?

'Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet! A little more of that and you might get out!

We will not let it go any further! Once you have done it once, you will surely say something like, "Well, we're going to the ceiling! Everyone, seize Okura-dono!

'd*mn it! Let go, let go!
