Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Chapter 40 - The Effects of Demon Attraction



Putting the trait aside for now.

I checked the ‘special reward’ first.

Thump thump, crunch crunch!

A small box emitting a dazzling light popped out of thin air, and soon opened with a click.

Inside were three pieces of paper.

“Oh…!”

Paper has never disappointed me in this game.

Ah, except for 3-star and 4-star hero contracts, and Lumi’s contract.

…I have been disappointed quite a lot actually.

Anyway, with the innocence of a child receiving New Year’s money, I grabbed it excitedly, yap!

[Party Reserve Member Summon Ticket x3]
[Temporarily materializes a reserve member to fight together. The materialized reserve member lasts until exiting the tower.]

“Hmm.”

While thinking it’s a bit ambiguous to call this a special reward.

Arithmetically speaking, it feels like we can clear the tower with 6 people instead of 5 people who should clear it.

It seems pretty good.

When tackling difficult floors seriously, if we tear one from the start, a 6-person party will be maintained directly from Zone 1 to Zone 10.

It is good.

But the box that didn’t disappear even after taking out all the papers.

Looking inside, there was one more thing left.

That’s right.
It wouldn’t be a special reward if it ended with just giving these three papers!

[Ring of Absolute Protection (RANK β)]
[A ring with a thick diamond, the symbol of eternity, embedded in it. The goddess’s blessing is faintly imbued in it, granting the wearer the power to escape death once.]
[Death Avoidance LV.1 / When taking fatal damage, become invincible for 5 seconds. After the invincibility time ends, 50% HP is recovered. Cooldown 24 hours]

“This is awesome!”

A 200% concentration big smile naturally seeped into my face.

Even if an AI as old as AlphaGo’s grandfather came, it couldn’t find any emotion other than 100% happiness on my face.

Of course.
With this!

I no longer have to be overly cautious or overly restrained!

Possession in the game world, 20 days from that…!
The pain, no, overprotection I had to endure…!

“Oh, a ring. It’s pretty?”
“It’s pretty nya!”

Ari and Tinya, who like shiny things, watched with sparkling eyes.

Taking advantage of that moment, I puffed out my chest and shared today’s harvest with the heroes.

“Thank goodness. I was so worried that Ark, who’s more fragile than a hamster, might be in danger.”

Saha?
No matter what, I’m not less than a hamster…?

“That’s right. It will be a good lifeline for Ark, who was always in a precarious state.”

Yohena?
I wasn’t that precarious?
I was just slightly injured here and there?

Anyway, it was undoubtedly a truly, really helpful special reward.

While storing away the happy feelings.
Next, I checked the hidden trait.

[Demon Attraction (LV.1)]
[A mark given to those loved by demons. Increases the likelihood of demons showing affection and respect, and enables special interactions with converted demon-type heroes. Also, gains insight to see through demons’ true forms.]

Let’s pretend I didn’t see it.

Special interactions…

Let’s pretend I didn’t see it.

I didn’t see anything.
This trait doesn’t exist.

[15th Floor Zone 10 has been breached.]
[Prepare for the revelator’s invasion.]

[The revelator has the ‘Demon Attraction’ trait.]
[You can either support the revelator as a new demon king candidate, or side with the current demon king to stop the revelator.]

“Hmmnya.”

Neb, who brushed away the message that appeared before her eyes with her front paw as if annoyed, rolled over again.

“I really hate bothersome things…”

She thought she could rest comfortably around the 20th floor, but the fact that it’s already time to work made her feel annoyed from the start.

After that, messages popped up one after another saying she could change object placement and whatnot.

She just swept those away with her front paw too.

“They’ll figure it out themselves…”

Anyway, the 16th to 20th floors of the tower are modeled after her hometown, the Great Forest at the border of the demon realm and fairy realm.

Even if she, Neb, doesn’t do anything particularly.

If the revelator has the ability to climb, they’ll come up.
If they don’t have that ability, they’ll fall out on their own.

“Nyaa–”

Just stretch and.
Take a little nap.

That was the conclusion Neb reached.

Arachne, who has now transformed from enemy to ally.

The first thing I did after gifting her a necklace was.

“From now on, I’ll call you Rene.”

Deck compression, no, name compression.

Honestly, a five-syllable name is too long, right?

Of course, I opposed the name Rene.

“Since it’s Arachne, how about Arch?”

“…Do you perhaps remember what your own name is, Ark?”

“Oops… Then Ara? Or Lara?”

“How do you get such names by shortening it? Let’s just take the last two syllables and call her Rene.”

“Hmph.”

My Ulala-class naming sense was mercilessly trampled by Yohena.

Therefore, Arachne, shortened to Rene. Confirmed.

Originally, we should have gone around once from Zone 1 to Zone 10 with the determination to lick everything clean, but.

“…15th floor… nothing hidden…”

When the dungeon owner says so.

Is there any need to waste precious stamina charge tickets?
I don’t think so.

So today is an early finish!

“See you at the shop at 8 PM!”

I gave the heroes a fresh and peaceful afternoon.

Yohena to the sanctuary. Ari shopping. Saha to the knights’ order.
Tinya and Lumi playing doggy games in the park.

…I just let them go because the moment I asked what doggy games were, I felt like I’d suffer serious brain cell damage.

So the two remaining were.

Elise and Rene.

…Is this what the ‘Demon Attraction’ insight from earlier meant?

Focusing my eyes a bit to look at Rene, spider legs shimmer faintly next to Rene who looks like an ordinary woman.

Her attire also started to look like a red bodysuit instead of ordinary clothes.

Turning my gaze to the side to Elise, oh boy…

“…Come to think of it, wasn’t Elise excluded from duty last time?”

“Huhu, my abilities have been recognized?”

Making virility enhancers, love potions, and aphrodisiacs is an ability?

It is an ability.
Let’s give credit where it’s due.

“Right, Elise. About those potions on that shelf.”

“My my, you saw those? How embarrassing. Would you like to experiment with me today–”

“…I’ll pass. Anyway, then I’ll leave it to you today, and please take care of Rene too.”

“Of course. This concubine will educate her wholeheartedly.”

It’s a bit unreliable but.
What can I do?

Usually I leave new employee education to Yohena, but.

Yohena is surprisingly shy, and because her job is a saint, she tends to avoid demons.

Moreover, Rene is slightly, no, very lacking in communication skills.

I believed that Elise, who goes around being friendly everywhere, would help her adapt well.

I have to believe.
If I don’t trust my heroes, who else would I trust?

“I trusted her! I trusted Elise…!”

“My my, making a fuss over seeing a naked body. Huhu.”

Trust my ass.

I was going to take a hot shower and sprawl out for a nap, but.

Unconsciously, after showering and drying my body with a towel, when I came out to my room.

Elise and Rene were sitting side by side on the bed with sparkling eyes.

“Revelator… huge…”
“Right? Isn’t it amazing? It’s awe-inspiring every time I see it.”

Shut up, you crazy ones…

But what do you mean every time you see it?
Were you perhaps not a first-time offender but a repeat offender?

I wanted to ask but it felt awkward so I just kept my mouth shut.

They say don’t take in black-haired beasts, but.
With a white-haired beast in pair, just.

Why are they so blatant?
It’s not because of that demon attraction or whatever, right?
Oh my, my fate…

“…Nevermind. If you have nothing to do, let’s go to work.”

“Oh my, already?”

“I was originally going to take a nap, but thanks to you I’m wide awake. Come on, let’s go to work, work. By the way, what is Rene good at?”

Rene tilted her head.

Right, what’s the point of asking?

Sighing, I checked Rene’s specialties on my smartphone.

Cooking level 1.
Sewing level 3.

That’s good.

Sewing is an advanced skill that can make cloth equipment that can’t be made in the blacksmith shop, or create rare skins using rare and special materials.

Since the sewing room was unlocked after clearing the 15th floor.
We can expand the shop to 3 floors, move the secret workshop to the 3rd floor, and build a sewing room next to the alchemy workshop.

If we have her cook too.
My complete shop liberation happy life is coming soon!

“Hehehe.”

“Ark-niim? Your laughter sounds ominous. Perhaps you’re having lewd thoughts about this concubine’s breasts–”

“I wasn’t?”

Sorry.
I did sometimes.

Arriving at the shop, I invested the shop points that were like blood to be put into the Special Gacha Machine, and built facilities quickly.

Since the shop level has increased too, it’s finally time to move on from the long 4-rank era to 5-rank equipment.

Substance is important.
And my abilities were specialized in substance.

As I was busily preparing for the heroes–
“Rene, what’s wrong?”

“Food…”

Oh my.
Living up to her name.

“Wait a moment.”

I was already too lazy to grill meat.
I roughly made toast by spreading butter on bread, sizzle sizzle, cracking eggs and grilling ham too.

She eats well and neatly.

Rene with a very satisfied expression.

If I relax my eyes, she’s just an ordinary silver-haired beauty.
If I focus my eyes…

Spider legs tap-tap-tapping.
She was doing a tap dance very happily in my sacred shop.

Can I return this insight?

“Yahooo! Master!”

Tinya came in with a cheerful voice, fluttering her dress hem.

Seeing the tattoo engraved on that soft lower belly.

Hmm.

This insight might not be so bad–

“Master! Your gaze is lewd!”

“It’s not.”

Sorry.
It was a bit lewd just now…

Fortunately.

“Phew~ Ark, nothing happened, right?”
Mix Master Ari.

“Woof!”
Serving Master Lumi.

Our workers arrived at work on time, so we could quickly disperse the awkward atmosphere.

While taking in the sight of the busy employees and intern (glutton) preparing for the opening.

Let’s make a ton of money today too.

And hope nothing happens in the Great Forest we’ll start climbing tomorrow.

Smoothly, peacefully, safely, and cleanly.

I prayed like that.

“Elise…? Do you think our heroes are looking for me?”

“They’re probably searching with their eyes rolled back by now?”

16th Floor Zone 1.

I was kidnapped from the start.

…The original story was like this too.
I had completely forgotten…
