Gacha Game Girls Are Obsessed With Me

I am a pacifist.

If I could get by easily like with Tynia or Elise, I didn’t want to create unnecessary friction.

“Ah! This feels strange!”

“Hehehe, it’s my first time manifesting inside the Tower.”

There will be a brief position change.

Compressing Ari into SD Ari, and decompressing SD Elise into something fluffy, wow, bam, ka-pow.

…I captured the true essence of Elise, something I couldn’t see in the city or the Guild House.

While I was standing there…

“Betrayers…!”

“Kyahaha, what are you talking about?”

“Ara-Krené. Our master is very generous, you know? Even with a body like this, she should be able to embrace you.”

No.

I don’t have a preference for monster girls…

But perhaps Elise’s words had the opposite effect.

“Vulgar…! How could I… forget my pride… as a demon…!”

Ari countered while blushing.

“Heh, does pride feed you? Our master is an excellent cook, right? Even with strange ingredients, she makes it taste great?”

Strange ingredients, huh.

I don’t use what I can’t eat.

“Co…oking…?”

Why are you tapping your hind legs at that point?

Come to think of it, her alias was the Demon of Devouring.

What does she eat?

The people trapped in the cocoon seemed mildly thin, but there were no signs of skeletons or anything like that.

I couldn’t contain my curiosity and whispered in Elise’s ear.

“Ahaaa. Are you curious?”

A strange smile danced across Elise’s face.

Then, she got close enough to seemingly lick my ear, whispering.

“She eats the essence of humans. Inducing strong dreams that make them not want to wake up by poisoning them with their own venom, and ‘devouring’ the essence that flows from those imaginations. Hehehe.”

What?

That’s like an infinite Tsukuyomi.

Recalling the moment I was poisoned by Ara-Krené.

It felt like the dream I’d had while hugging Tynia—muhuh, ehehe, chuchu, mmm…

This game.

Is it really rated for all ages?

The settings are just at the level of an adult game, aren’t they?

“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t I be in danger if I got absorbed?”

“Oh dear, you’ve put such a cute collar on me, just like you would for a slave pup. Hehe, if only I could take this off at home, my master’s sympathy would be—kyaah.”

The heroes have sensitive hearing.

As Elise was about to cross the line, Lumi quickly bit her arm with a growl.

“Ellis-mung! Bad words!”

I desperately managed my expression and turned my gaze back to our intelligence 0 strategist persuading Ara-Krené.

“Minotaur meat is tasteless if eaten raw, right? If our master cooks it, it’ll surely be really, really delicious?”

“Roasted… meat…”

What’s this?

Even with an intelligence of 0, is the political power at 100?

Why is the persuasion going so well?

A little saliva gathered at Ara-Krené’s lips and fell to the ground.

“Ugh…! Lies…! Ara-Krené… won’t be fooled… twice…!”

Raw meat, huh.

Should I try steak tartare next time?

Being a monster, I suppose it might have parasites?

While I was indulging in such trivial thoughts, it seemed like the persuasion had ultimately broken down.

Kwahng!

The wild Ara-Krené’s clone roared!

As expected of a boss monster, I saw her body swell several times in an instant and quickly switched positions with Ari and Elise.

Then, I deftly aimed at the debuff—one-tool—revolver and fired, bang!

Ping—

“Divinity—aha—!”

The sound of a BB bullet tearing through my chest echoed magnificently, and Ara-Krené’s eyes immediately turned toward me.

“Gah! Gah-gah!”

Now that my bond with Lumi was approaching max, she barked appropriately to draw aggro without me saying anything.

Checking the information casually…

“Whoa.”

For a clone.

It was almost on par with the specs of the boss on the 15th floor, if not stronger.

How much energy had it gathered from the 13th and 14th floors?

It seemed its pattern was nearly identical; as the actual battle began, baby spiders started pouring down from the ceiling on spider webs.

“Lumi! Pass aggro to Saha and focus on the minions! Tynia, help Lumi, and Ari, focus on the boss!”

After giving suitable commands, I pressed against Yo-hena.

From several close calls, I came to understand.

The one who could save me in a life-or-death moment was only Yo-hena.

“Eek.”

Having gotten too close, Yo-hena let out a bird-like sound, but soon she stuck to her main duties as a saint—buffing and healing.

Saha swung the three large weapons and struck the longest and largest hammer against Ara-Krené’s body.

At that moment, flames erupted.

“Gyaaah…!”

“…?”

Ara-Krené burst into laughter reflexively.

What’s going on?

Is she saying it tickles? It should have dealt a decent amount of damage…

“Bark!”

As I slightly turned my gaze, I saw Lumi grabbing a baby spider’s leg, swinging it around, and then hurling it against the wall.

“Yay!”

On top of that, Tynia shot her magical beam at it.

This side seems fine.

“Ari? Turn slightly and aim for the behind.”

“Okay!”

Even though it might sound strange, the heroes now followed instructions smoothly.

Why were we aiming for the behind?

Not simply because there was a behind there…

But because webs were constantly coming out from around that area, rising to the ceiling.

If that web accumulated…

“I’ll cover it all!”

Special pattern.

A pile of webs would drop from the ceiling, creating traps that would bind our feet if stepped on.

Even when facing the boss raid version of Ara-Krené.

The foolish melee AI (Lumi or anything) would walk into it and trigger a pattern that would tear my clothes.

But there’s an old saying.

The one who finds and removes the source of damage is the true supporter.

I am not reminiscing, Storm of Time.

But that teaching has been very helpful to me.

In reality, while dealing with monsters, I realized that it indeed was possible to eliminate the sources of damage.

Especially in the case of monsters wielding weapons, simply disarming them could greatly diminish their combat power.

Puh—puh—

“Gyaaah!”

The web blockade operation seemed to be somewhat effective.

The momentum of the webs that had been steadily climbing toward the ceiling began to slow down gradually.

“Ugh.”

Every time such reasoning pays off, a strange thrill wells up within me.

As we steadily wore down Ara-Krené’s health…

“I won’t… forgive you…!”

Ara-Krené, having filled her rage gauge, showed the prelude to a big attack.

“Saha, now!”

I immediately signaled Saha.

Suddenly.

The spacious temple, the background of the spider colony changed into a midnight sea.

Boom! Boom!

And the blue night sky that had replaced the ceiling exploded with fireworks!

Within the paused time, Saha shyly made her chest bounce once, firmly gripping her hammer.

As the magnificent wave illusion surged behind the frozen Ara-Krené, she swung with all her might.

In that moment, an intense flame wrapped around the hammer.

Time that had stopped began to flow again.

As the space changed back to normal…

Saha (in a swimsuit) activated her ultimate skill.

“Phoenix That Cuts Through the Tempest.”

“Wow….”

“So cute!”

A small phoenix that gives a very warm and cozy feeling appears beside all the heroes, including me.

It has…

3 instances of damage negation for the duration.

One of the reasons Su-Saha, the absolute rights of the Flame Deck, can increase the number of damage negation instances by leveling the skill.

Although it shows slight weakness to multi-hit attacks, there was no OP skill quite like it for dealing with one big hit.

And typically in the meta, a spear is the most threatening weapon.

And the following attack pattern of Ara-Krené was a typical giant spear.

Boom—!

As Ara-Krené’s leg slammed into the ground, the earth shook, and a massive shockwave swept through.

Even the moment something like a thick web shot up from beneath my feet, trying to pierce my precious lower body.

—Peep!

The phoenix chirped once brightly.

As if the attack had never existed, it melted away into nothingness.

And the largest phoenix…

The one wrapped around Saha’s hammer, instead of saying “peep,” it was crying out in a wild manner—

“Gyaaaah…!”

Began striking Ara-Krené fiercely, engulfing her in flames.

…I decided not to think about why it was laughing while on fire.

Perhaps there was some all-ages system that transfers pain to tickling?

Or maybe not.

Anyway, having landed a perfect counterpunch, Ara-Krené fell into a groggy state.

“Now! Rainbow total attack!”

My stream of nonsensical words seemed to conjure a hook above the heroes’ heads for a moment.

But Lumi and Tynia, who succeeded in exterminating the baby spiders, also said “yay.”

Ari continued to shoot arrows at the behind.

Saha kept whacking Ara-Krené’s head with her hammer.

In the blink of an eye, we wore down his health significantly.

How about that!

This is the power of fully-farmed heroes!

Anyway, since the debuffs will persist indefinitely until the target dies, I also experienced something like a pseudo-damage dealer while firing my robust Love and Peace revolver.

…I won’t waste gold again.

This time, I’m serious.

Anyway, as we whittled down her health to 50%—

“Ugh… I’ll get you next time…!”

Originally, we would have entered phase two.

But for some reason, as a clone, Ara-Krené retreated cleanly right here.

The enemy leader has been defeated!
