274 Gaiden Yataro's delight




 A few days after the annihilation of the Kanazawa Liberation Army.

My Lord Theon, the appointed hour is here.

 Yataro came to my room, dressed in his monked hakama.

''........What's that outfit?''
"Now we do the sacred ritual... It's only polite to wear formal attire.
The sacred ritual is called... "Random Number Creation"?
'Indeed! It's a day to give all of Lady Theon to the goddess of random numbers!

 Giving my all........well, it consumes all my CP.......but there's a way to say it.......

Last time I remember.........
Goblins our prayers have been insufficient.
And before that...
Slime, then I'm just tired of being subject to the whims of the goddess of random numbers.
Hey, now is the time of year when there are more lords and ladies in need of things to do. Don't you think we should cut back a little bit?
I don't think so!

 You old bastard I said it.

"Over 20,000 CP spent on one goblin. Do you know how many goblins you could create if you created them normally?
"Master Theon is still young do you know the term 'total amount of luck'?
I don't know... but does it sound like bad luck followed by good luck?
'Indeed! Last time and the last time before ... the charge of luck, so to speak! Hence, today is the day for the SSR.......no! I have a feeling we're going to get a UR!
'Do you remember what I said last time I created Setanta? There are waves of luck, you can't miss this big wave! And you've been pestering me every day to create a random number...
'Huh? Now, now is not the time for questions and answers! Gacha ... or we will perform a sacred ceremony!

 This old man he said clearly that he was a mess.

"By the way, do you have enough men for the defense?
I have enough! We have a full complement of equipment!
How are the people living in their own land?
No problem!

 Yataro replies to my question with a bite.

'I promise......... It can't be helped.''

 I let Yataro's enthusiasm get the better of me and started to prepare for the Random Number Creation.

''We've got a little over two hours to recover all of our CP.
Hello? How long is a little?
Two hours and 18 minutes ... is that all right?

 I calculated the time it takes to recover all of my current CP and told Yataro the exact time.


Yataro I don't want you to be the only one to say that.

 I let out a big sigh from weakness.

'Speaking of which, how's Kufrin doing?'
It's a controversial issue, sir.
Well it's a lot more useful than it was in Setanta, isn't it?
In terms of fighting ability, you're on par with the former Demon Lord's leadership.
'Then why are there so many different opinions? Don't tell me ... do you have a personality problem?

 I feel that Kufrin's personality is similar to Izayoi's. He values civility and loyalty to me. However, too much loyalty can cause conflicts with the rest of the team.

But Koo is an honest man, you know. He's matured and grown up, and his cooperation has grown a lot.
If you're strong and coordinated you're going to be great.
He's a reliable leader. As a matter of fact, Master Kotetsu paid a great deal of money for Cu.
I'm glad you like the Cottagers.

 If Kotetsu, his immediate superior, likes it, it won't be a problem.

''Well........Koo has grown up....... It's no exaggeration to say that he has evolved from SSR to UR in terms of strength and appearance.

 Is an ultra-rare (UR) better than a special super-rare (SSR)... I'm not familiar with gacha culture, so I don't really understand Yataro's criteria.

But Setanta lost something important when he evolved into Kufrin.
What?
"It's all about loveliness..... Setabou may have been a selfish child, but he was also a child who cared for his grandfather. But... he was also a gentle boy who cared for his grandfather.

 I wonder what the old man in front of me is saying.

'Koo is an excellent subordinate. But I also miss Setabou, who I used to call old man Yata, old man Yata.... However, I can give the UR-evolved Koo the same love that I give Setabo. The one I feel sorry for is Saburo..... Saburo loved Setabo in particular.........
'So you're saying that Setanta evolved into Kufrin - from a child to an adult, and Sabraw is sad?
Yes.

 So, in other words, there's nothing wrong with that.

 After that, he continued to make small talk with Yataro until his CP was fully recovered.


  ◆


 Two hours and 18 minutes later.

'You've kept me waiting,'
I, too, have finished my prayers to God.

 Yataro's face was five times more dignified than usual.

'You ready? Are you going to push?

 I finished preparing for the "Random Number Creation" by using my smartphone. All I have to do is click on the tab labeled "Random Number Creation" and I'm done.

 I still don't know what Yataro's preparations were, but this exchange had become a regular occurrence.

'Soooo........huh.........soooooo......huh........mmm. ........coming......this feeling.......! --Theon! Now! You will put your soul at your fingertips!

 Yataro took several deep breaths and scraped off his eyes and shouted my name.

"Aiyo.

 I'm creating a goblin with the same exchange last time. However, it's all CP to consume, and I put my finger tips to work, knowing it's useless.

'Pushing?'
Mm. My thoughts....!

 In the still air, I press my index finger into the screen of my smartphone.

 A glowing pentagram appears on the ground - a small figure emerges from the light.

 This silhouette is........not a goblin, is it?

 As the light converged there was a young girl standing there with a pair of wings on her back.

'Master? Nice to meet you! I look forward to working with you.

 The little girl smiled a pretty smile and bowed her head deeply to greet him.

''Do you understand my words?''
'Yes! I know what my master said!

 My language - if you can understand Japanese, is that a high ranking subordinate?

 I operate my smartphone to check the information on the young girl in front of me who has just been created.

'Name :.
 Race : Angel
 Rank: D
 Body : E
 Magic power: D
 Special Ability: Enhanced Light Attribute
      Light magic (D)
      → Light Arrow
      → Heels
      Archery (D)

 Angels...?

 It's the first type of dispensation I've seen.

 Its rank is D. It's the same rank as Kobold, so it's quite low.

 An unknown race - an early subordinate of the Demon King (a fallen species)?

This is.........this is UR.......my wish has been granted to the goddess.......

 Yataro's whole body trembled and he looked ecstatic.

 UR.........? No, it's a C (common) in terms of rank........

 I decided to call Kanon to find out more about the little girl in front of me - the angel.

'Kanon, do you know the race called 'Angel'?'
An 'angel'? I know the name but I don't know of any race of demons in this world that are called 'angels'.

 There doesn't seem to be any 'angels' in the canon's knowledge.

'Aren't they some kind of early subordinate of the Demon King (a fallen species)?'
The initial demon king's troop of demons are demon-like creatures like 'Ukobaku'.
Does that mean... this little girl is under Unique's command?
I think so.

 The little girl in front of me has a low rank, but she seems to be under the unique subordinate.

 If it's a unique subordinate, should I take care of it and raise it?

"Yataro.
....
Yataro!
What--? Ha.....what the hell?

 Yataro comes to his senses at the second call.

It's the same unique group as Setanta. It's a unique group just like Setanta. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm not sure if this is a good time, but depending on how well he grows, I'll form him into an invasion team.
Yes, sir! Even if it costs me my life...!
No, don't risk your life...
'Do not! This is the UR that the goddess sent me. It's worth risking your life. So, Theon, I have a favor to ask of you.
What? We'll get you the best equipment, okay?
Of course, but would you be so kind as to make her one of your own?
...What?

 Yataro pleads to me with a serious look on his face.

"Setanta........was named after his race, but his race is 'Angel. I think we should give him another name.
You want me to be part of your family just because of my name?
Indeed!

 You need to spend all CP to make it a family member. Since 'Tenshi' can handle Japanese, I feel it's nonsense to spend it just for a name.

'You don't need to make them a family member, just give them a normal name, right?
"--? Theon, the Lord is a genius!

 It's not that I'm a genius, it's just that Yataro is an old geezer.

'So what are you going to name it?'
"A name will determine the course of this child's life and I don't want to take that chance too soon!
Well, let me know when you decide.
Yes, I agree.

 This is how I got my new unique dispensation.
