Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

I was a bit anxious that we might not get a reward for not completely defeating her, but.

“Still, she’s a demon friend with some manners.”

“Hmm, even if Arachne is quite gluttonous, she’s not very greedy in other areas.”

A treasure chest appeared with a poof where Arachne’s avatar disappeared!

A satisfied smile automatically appeared at the corners of my mouth.

Well.

“Tsk.”

Just because there’s a treasure chest doesn’t mean all rewards are satisfying.

Maybe because my threshold has become too high.

A man who doesn’t bat an eye at ordinary rewards.
That’s me.

“Let’s keep going up without repeated clears today. Before that, let’s go to the guild house and prepare a little bit.”

The cooking buff is still active, but.

How can you resist freshly butchered beef?

So returning to the guild house, as I was grilling steaks, slowly cutting the firm thigh meat of the minotaur while it sizzled.

“Nya!”
“Woof!”

The two short-answer heroes of our party who don’t particularly care about dignity started watching with sparkling eyes.

One was carefully observing the whole cooking process as expected of the future shop manager.

“Sniff sniff, good smell!”

The other was just having a full dopamine party with her nose.

Come to think of it, a scene I saw in the tower earlier flashed through my mind.

Co…oking…?

Grilled… meat…

Didn’t they say Arachne was quite gluttonous?
Her character overlaps a bit with Lumi, but Lumi likes to eat things, not necessarily eat a lot.

Hmm.

Hmm…

As I plated the well-done steaks on dishes and served them to the heroes.

“Saha? This might be a bit of an unpleasant question, but.”

“Yes, Ark. What kind of question?”

Saha lightly stroked her hammer handle.
Why are you being scary?

“If I were to bring this brazier into the dungeon, could you light a fire in it?”

“…? That much is fine.”

Saha’s eyes softened.
What kind of question did you think I was going to ask?

A brazier… might be a bit much.

“Please enjoy your meal. I’ll go to the shop for a bit.”

“Nya! Tinya wants to come too!”

“Alright, alright.”

With one sticky note attached, I moved to Harong’s ever-open blacksmith shop.

Surprisingly, Harong has a workaholic tendency, so even when I tell her to rest, she says hammering is more enjoyable.

It was an idea I couldn’t understand.

What? How?
How is that possible?
Her company loyalty, reminiscent of the ‘I love my company too much villain’ I saw in communities when I was in the modern world, was quite amazing.

“If only Tinya could be half as diligent.”

“Uung?”

“It’s nothing.”

Well, our shop manager has been growing her professional consciousness lately too.
Soon I might be able to take my hands off shop management duties.

I love auto-hunting!
I love auto-clickers!

“Oh, Ark! Perfect timing. I improved this, combining a saw and scissors–”

Harong, who created a giant version of the pinking shears I saw in stationery shops as a child.

Soon she started lecturing about her work.

…We probably won’t need it once we escape the labyrinth…

Still, there’s such a thing as sincerity, so after spending some time listening intently and giving crisp reactions.

“Can you make something like a small brazier? Ah, not for melting metal, but for grilling meat outdoors. It looks roughly like this.”

As I explained while drawing something resembling a camping brazier on paper.

“That’s easy! Just wait a moment!”

Harong soon started clang clanging, creating the result.

In the meantime, I quietly slipped a few pieces of charcoal rolling around into my inventory.

“Master! That’s not allowed!”

“Just once…?”

“No!”

I was about to head to the 2nd floor thinking I might roll the Special-Gacha since I had some gold to spare, but Tinya stopped me.

Is this that master-servant role reversal world or whatever?
Me, the master, unable to freely use the master’s money…
Is this okay?

In the end, I gave up on the gacha and just looked around the shelf where Elise stores her alchemy works.

Whether she actually has talent for alchemy or not, there were many potions besides antidotes.

“Master, what’s this?”

“Uh…”

I broke out in a cold sweat as I belatedly cast my gaze on the potion bottle Tinya found.

Although there was no special label attached.

I could check the item’s tooltip with the revelator’s power, so.

[Special Virility Enhancer (★★★)]
[A virility enhancer made by combining various ingredients known to be good for men, including Arachne’s poison. The moment you take a sip, you’ll feel like you could easily go four rounds.]
[Manufacturer: Elise]

“…It’s probably just something good for the body…”

I left her alone and she makes things like this…!
Fearing this potion might be used for improper purposes, I immediately put it in my inventory.

And as a result of a full investigation.

I confiscated all kinds of potions like Love Potion (Failed), Mild Aphrodisiac, etc.

I thought it was amazing that her alchemy level had already reached 2, but.
She was making things like this?

Confiscated, confiscated!

…Honestly, it’s not that I’m not interested.

Of course, Elise might have made this to tease me.

Since I didn’t know if the heroes had feelings for me or not, it felt a bit awkward to make the first move.

It would be awkward if I got rejected.

Relationships that become rapidly awkward after confession…
The shadow of discord falling on the party…
Eventually, unable to bear the awkwardness, the heroes one by one…

Ugh.
A terrible bad ending route.
Let’s just live an upright life of self-improvement like now.

“Ark~? It’s done~!”

Shaking off my thoughts at Harong’s voice.
I went down to the 1st floor and obtained Harong’s special portable camping brazier.

Fortunately, it fit right into my inventory, as if I had Doraemon’s pocket.

Anyway, battle preparations complete.

15th Floor Zone 5.

“Unforgivable… ?”

“Now now, we’ll have a little meal time. As a proud demon race, you can wait that much, right?”

Greeting Arachne’s avatar who appeared again.

I took out the portable brazier and filled it with charcoal.

“Ark…?”

“Saha, please light the fire.”

“…?”

Question marks seemed to pop up over not just Arachne’s head, but the heroes’ heads too.

But Saha still obediently lit the fire as I instructed.

Sizzle–

Soon the minotaur meat started cooking vigorously on the iron plate.

“Gulp.”
“Swallow.”

The sound of swallowing saliva echoed in surround sound.
Not just from our heroes’ direction, but also from where Arachne’s avatar was.

I smiled.
According to plan.

Sprinkle sprinkle of spices including pepper, sprinkle sprinkle of salt.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on my dazzling hands.

Feeling inspired by the attention, I properly displayed my usual skills in a flashy manner.

“Arachne?”

“Uuu…?”

“Would you like to try some?”

At my temptation, she shook her head while drooling, but.

I had SD Elise hold a plate and sent it in front of Arachne.

Sniff sniff.
Tap tap tap.
Gulp.

The instinctive sound of nostrils flaring.
The sound of legs tapping in place to match.
Decisively, the sound of swallowing saliva.

The three beats harmonized.

“Hmm, our Ark-nim is truly merciful? Offering this precious grilled meat even to a child like you. Know that it’s an honor?”

“Uuu… grilled… meat…”

Whether Elise was mocking her or not.
Arachne just started savoring that smell.

Eventually.

Arachne’s hand slightly rose to touch the plate, then picked up the meat and popped it in her mouth.

“…!”

For the first time, surprise and a smile bloomed on Arachne’s face that had been expressionless until now.

She’s pretty charming when she smiles, this friend who didn’t smile.
…It would have been extra points if she didn’t have multiple spider legs attached.

After hurriedly eating all the grilled meat like that.

Arachne stared at me blankly.

As I had already become a pro at training heroes in my revelator life, I could clearly understand the meaning in her eyes.

That’s.
Asking for more.

After grilling about two more pieces of meat like that.

“…”

Arachne, belatedly realizing she was eating food from the enemy, flinched.

Then disappeared with a poof.

“…Ark. Is this really okay…?”

Yohena sent me a slightly anxious look.

“Even a dog doesn’t bite the hand that feeds it.”

“Isn’t that a racist remark?”
“That’s right woof! Lumi doesn’t bite woof!”

Ari objected to my words, then the one with the closest bloodline to dogs here issued an official certificate for my statement.

Huhu.

The last, Zone 10.

Right before entering the boss battle, I took out the brazier again and declared neutrality.

“…Delicious…”

“Now now, there’s more. Lumi, eat too.”

“Woof!”

The heroes who had been fighting hard until Zone 9 seemed hungry too, so they started eating after spreading out a picnic mat.

Of course, while keeping some distance from Arachne.

For a while, the smell of beef cooking filled the grand temple interior.

“…Can I… eat this… every day…?”

“Of course.”

“Then…”

Carrot and stick is the optimal strategy for melting the hearts of people and beasts regardless of time and place.

Finally, I was able to receive the surrender declaration, no, the conversion contract.

Of course, in that choice.

You’re scared of the spider legs? Hmm, if we put on a collar like the one on this concubine, those would probably disappear too?

Elise’s advice had the greatest impact.

…I didn’t want to see those spider legs tap-tap-tapping a happy tap dance even in the village.

It could be called a major issue.

Anyway, as I ripped apart the conversion contract Arachne hesitantly handed over–

“Please… take good care of… the meat…”

Somehow I feel like her loyalty is directed more towards the cooking than me.

But I figured that’s just how the Demon of Gluttony is.

Anyway.
Enemy commander! Tamed!

“…?”

An unfamiliar hidden appeared again.

It’s all good, but what’s demon attraction?
I have an ominous feeling about this.
