Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Somewhere in Neo-Hanyang.
In a dark room without a single light, dinosaur men with grim expressions sat, relying only on the flames rising from their tails.
The current highest dignitaries of the Great Imperial Empire.
The truly loyal among the loyal who received the Emperor’s favor.
The Five Dinosaur Ministers.
“This won’t do.”
The one sitting in the highest seat.
The Chief State Councillor Lee Je-hak threw out the topic.
It had been almost finished.
If only they had been given a little more time, they could have grasped everything in this country with their hands.
But the meticulous plan they had built up over several years was crumbling from the bottom, one by one.
Of course, along with the resistance from the First Imperial Successor—the Imperial Princess.
The dissatisfaction of a potentially hostile force, Edo Corporation, had been anticipated.
But no matter how capable they were, he thought they couldn’t even keep up with his group, who had the Emperor at their back.
“How did the Minister of War allow things to come to this state! Didn’t you say there was absolutely no way we would be discovered before the day of execution!”
“I’m the one who wants to ask. How could a foreigner notice and destroy the safe house that was set up in triple layers underground? Undoubtedly, information must have leaked from somewhere!”
“Shouldn’t we have just arrested and transported that traitorous gang of shameless people to the Office of the Inspector General? You said you could control them!”
As arguments began and loud voices erupted among the meeting attendees, Lee Je-hak quietly closed his eyes.
Even at this moment, the things they had arranged were turning into bubbles.
What would be the point of asking who was responsible here?
What’s important is, if left unchecked, there would only be a more miserable failure.
“…Let’s move up the date of execution.”
When the low voice echoed, the mouths of the remaining lizard people who had been blaming each other closed tightly.
“But, Your Excellency…”
“There’s no choice. We must first depose the First Imperial Princess and then accuse Edo Corporation of treason all at once. I will report to the Noble Consort myself.”
“…We obey your command.”
Although the lizards’ standing might diminish a bit during the distribution of merits and rewards.
This would still be better than a miserable failure.
Thinking so, Lee Je-hak left the secret room first.
And he immediately entered the palace and requested an audience with the Noble Consort.
The wait was not long.
“Oh my, the Chief State Councillor, a lower life form who can’t handle a single task properly. What brings you here at this late hour, and with what face?”
A voice mixed with coquetry.
An appearance that was charming whenever seen.
Towards their true master, the only woman who would lead the future unified great empire.
Lee Je-hak prostrated himself fully.

In recent days, I could feel that the more time we gave them, the stronger their response and defensive posture became.
Isn’t growth supposed to be exclusive to protagonists?
The enemy’s growth wasn’t in the plan.
Therefore, without giving them time to grow as much as possible.
I planned to push through from the 24th floor to the 25th floor at once.
Even better, good news—
“It was quite advanced technology, so analyzing it was difficult, but the modification is complete.”
“Finally!”
The welcome news that my water-rocket-revolver had been thoroughly modified with Ryu-a’s help.
Of course, it didn’t resolve the penalty of depleting my funds, but it was now sufficient to protect myself in this power-inflated world.
“Let’s start the meeting.”
Though it was late at night, I gathered all the relevant people to do a final check on our operation.
The first briefing was by Elise.
“Ultimately, the enemy we must face is the Demon of Domination—Yeo Hui.”
Knowing your enemy and yourself leads to victory in every battle.
We needed to consolidate all the information we had.
“True to her title, she’s a girl who enjoys dominating and ruling over others. Her personality… I can’t say it’s good, even as a courtesy. Even among demons, her reputation isn’t very good.”
“Yeah! Totally tactless! Disgusting!”
“I agree.”
Elise explained, and Tinya and Neb added their interjections.
I didn’t know what level of character she must have to evoke such intense reactions.
I wasn’t planning to recruit her anyway, so I decided not to worry about it.
Originally, she wasn’t just ending at the 25th floor but was a persistent one who would escape to the 30th floor.
《She entered the palace as a concubine, but quickly subdued my mother and rose to become the real power in the palace. I had suspicions that she used some kind of trick, but now those suspicions have turned into certainty.》
To that, Dan Minha, who was now attending via video conference, added the story from within the palace.
《Departments with significant lizard influence—the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Justice—should all be considered her pawns. If we include the agencies under their jurisdiction, practically more than two-thirds of the palace is hostile.》
She expressed a not-so-bright outlook.
“Then what can definitely take the Imperial Princess’s side?”
《Nothing is certain. However, I think I can prevent outer defense units from entering the palace due to internal disturbances. The Imperial Guard would be difficult though.》
“Hmm.”
Still, the largest armed group.
Not having to cause large-scale conflicts with the regular army was good news.
“Hoho. Even if such a thing happens, we can overcome it with EMPs. I designed them with that in mind.”
《…That sounds like you’re saying you planted backdoors in the equipment supplied to the military.》
“Oh come on, Princess. How could a girl like me do such a thing?”
As I half-listened to Dan Minha and Ryu-a having a passive-aggressive battle of wills, I checked another variable.
“38?”
《Difficult. If something happens, there’s a high possibility of being immediately ‘silenced.’ This… no, Duiju No. 38 will be loyal to the Imperial Princess, but the attitudes of the other monitors are unclear.》
“Hmm.”
When full-scale combat occurs, gaining advantage in battle is obviously important, but obtaining accurate information in real-time would be even more crucial.
Outside the palace, Edo Corporation’s CCTV would serve that function.
But in the main battlefield of the 25th floor—inside the palace—the cooperation of the Duijus would be essential.
“What if we promise liberation?”
《Liberation, liberation… Does that word mean you’ll set Duiju No. 38 and others free from here?》
The concept of Duiju No. 38, who had been speaking in a tone seemingly stripped of all emotion, momentarily wavered.
Early discharge.
Would there be anyone who wouldn’t be tempted by this?
For a smooth transition here, I glanced at Dan Minha.
Through the monitor, I could see the Imperial Princess’s gaze fixing on Duiju No. 38 in Elise’s arms.
After a moment of silence.
《…As the Imperial Princess, I have always been deeply interested in the unfair treatment the people receive. I’ve repeatedly proposed improvements to those harsh working conditions, only to be ignored by officials. How can anyone say it’s not a problem to spend one’s youth inside a box? I will at least make it possible for you to commute.》
Dan Minha spoke rather sincerely for someone who had been nudged, and in response, Duiju No. 38’s LED changed violently before settling on [ㅠ_ㅠ].
《Loyalty. I will stake my life to persuade my colleagues.》
…Doing this really makes me feel like I’m plotting treason.
As if Arthus Dan Minha is going for the Emperor’s throat saying “Succeeding you, mother.”
《So, when is the execution?》
“Hmm.”
We had spent all day preparing and hadn’t used up our entry count for today, but it was already night.
Should we wait until tomorrow, or should we push forward while everyone was gathered?
I was pondering whether we should return to Celestia and enter the tower so that Team 2 could teleport directly to the event location, when…
《…The other side has moved too.》
The video screen showing Dan Minha’s upper body momentarily crackled, the image quality breaking up, and then…
[DISCONNECT]
With only a warning sign displayed where her chest had been, the connection was severed.
Simultaneously.
[Entered Tower of Wishes 24th Floor – Imperial Palace Zone 1.]
[★☆☆: Occupy the Office of the Censor-General.]
[★★☆: Complete the mission without anyone dying.]
[★★★: Secure the safety of First Imperial Princess Dan Minha.]
Once again, I felt the unpleasant sensation of being dragged into a fight not by my own will, but by someone else’s.
“…Looks like we need to start right away.”
But unlike last time.
This time, we were sufficiently prepared.
“Team 2, please head to the Eastern Palace immediately and rescue the Imperial Princess. Then, proceed to the Office of the Censor-General. Team 1 will go with me to the Office of the Inspector General. Renatel, please keep an eye on communications.”
I wasn’t sure how effective Duiju No. 38’s persuasion would be on its colleagues, but assuming at least minimal effect.
Although it’s not the main objective of the mission.
From a broader perspective, it would be the right decision to deal with enemies who would consistently appear as hostile forces on the 24th floor.
There was no time limit either.
“Elise?”
“Yes, Ark.”
“Give Ryu-a ‘that’ set.”
“Ohoho.”
To avoid repeating the same mistake.
I had prepared a comprehensive gift set for temporary allies.
The preparations are perfect.
Well, whatever.
If we fail, it’s treason.
If we succeed, isn’t it revolution?
Tonight seemed like it would be quite long.
