Gacha Game Girls Are Obsessed With Me

The ones who kidnapped me were large wolf beastmen riding on Omokkuni.

In terms of species, they were the Lang (狼) tribe.

I was usually not very interested in stories or settings.

Since in the beginning, there were humans and animals.

So it was clear in my memory that the mythical story of beastmen being born because humans with animal-like tendencies broke taboos was an impressive one.

They could be called absolutely insane.

Anyway.

There’s a saying that even if you’re bitten by a tiger, as long as you keep your wits about you, you can survive.

Although they were not tiger beastmen, but wolf beastmen.

And instead of a den, it was quite a luxurious bedroom.

It was rather the fact that it was a bedroom that made me feel more uneasy.

The one thing I could trust, at least.

“Elise, I have a suspicious feeling…”

Even when I was being kidnapped, SD Elise floated by my side like a guardian spirit.

In fact, the main reason I could maintain my calmness now was largely thanks to Elise.

What if things don’t go well?

Really, really really regrettably?

If I borrow the power of the party member summoning ticket?

Elise, equipped with a full set of top-tier gear at level 5 would pop up next to me.

“Hehe, it’s clear to anyone that this is the angle.”

“What angle?”

“Oh my, are you trying to make strange words come out of a lady’s mouth? Arc, you have quite the devious side to you?”

Were they thinking of a Yas angle?

These guys, surprisingly had a well-made Korean patch…

As I lay there with my legs bound tightly and my arms awkwardly tied to the bed.

Crack──!

With a grand sound.

The window was ripped off along with the wall.

…Earlier I glanced out and it was the fifth floor, wasn’t it?

And what appeared was.

A face I was quite familiar with from 2D illustrations──

“So you’re not as reluctant as I thought. Are you perhaps a virgin?”

The moment she opened her mouth, she shattered the image.

Renatel. A Lang tribe beastman. 5 stars. A little shedding.

An earth attribute melee dealer. A tier 1 dealer for the earth deck.

By the way, Lumi is ranked 5 on the tier chart.

Anyway, as I evaluated the short-haired wolf girl in front of me with the calculations of an adult.

“It seems you don’t quite understand the meaning of being kidnapped by the Lang tribe. You’re quite pretty, so it’s not surprising that your kin are in heat, but to kidnap you after another beastman has already marked you? The pride of the Lang tribe has indeed fallen to the ground.”

What the heck.

Was it really ‘that angle’?

I took another glance at the red ribbon tied cutely at her waist.

As I was slightly bewildered.

“If you don’t want to lose your chastity, follow me willingly. I’ll rescue you.”

Renatel sighed and uttered a statement whose intentions—whether it was a threat or goodwill—were hard to discern.

At the same time.

Swish!

With a speed that couldn’t be followed by the eye, she swung her sword and cut the ropes binding me.

“Uh, if I just wait here, my heroes are probably going to come rescue me.”

I believe in them, our heroes.

“As I snuck in, it seemed like within 10 minutes, the leader of the Lang tribe, who wishes to reward your chastity, would likely arrive. If being overwhelmed and squeezed by a group is what you like, I won’t stop you.”

“Thank you.”

I sincerely bowed my head to the savior.

Is this girl going to assault me?

Please tell me that’s not how this plays out.

I shouldn’t have skipped the story…

Reluctantly, I followed Renatel──

“Ugh!”

“Be quiet.”

I was being carried like a piece of luggage as we moved.

* * *

Just after the hero party entered the first sector of the 16th floor, a rather wide canyon.

“Hmm.”

Arc made a subtle expression.

“What’s wrong, Arc?”

“Well, normally they would provide guidance on how to break through a sector, but it hasn’t shown up yet──”

“I hear something strange!”

While Arc continued talking with an uneasy expression while looking down at the prophecy tablet, his words were interrupted by Lumi’s shout.

Thud thud…

Thud thud thud thud…

As if something was coming, the ground began to shake slowly with the sound of beasts charging.

“From behind!”

At the same time as Saha’s shout, the heroes got into position to prepare for an attack.

Saha struck his hammer down with force towards the source of the sound.

Lumi, who had gone to the outskirts as much as possible, was on guard in case something jumped down from the canyon.

Yo-hena and Ari kept watch at the back of the formation, while Arc and Tynia observed the surroundings from the center.

Thud thud──

Thud thud thud thud──

The sound of heavy footsteps became clearer, stronger, and more intense.

“It’s a group of wild boars!”

A herd of enormous wild boars charged towards the hero party.

“Argh! The boars are acting strange!”

Upon Lumi’s shout, Ari, who had the best eyesight among the party, squinted and observed.

“They look a bit scared! They must be being chased! And… a giant… bird…?”

Ari doubted her own eyes.

Behind the rushing wild boars.

It looked somewhat like an Omokkuni──

But it had legs so thick that calling it a bird would be absurd. And its tiny wings barely looked like they could ever allow it to fly.

And the size of these Omokkuni was incomparably larger than that of the wild boars.

They were what we called “Pocoron” in the Great Forest, which could be seen as oversized pigeons that had been bred in a modern sense with cute faces.

“Dinner!”

“Meat!”

“Pigs!”

“Hunt!”

And on the backs of the Pocoron, beastmen rode one by one.

Shouting all their war cries, they dashed like a rampaging gang, paying no heed to anything in sight as they pursued the wild boars.

The unfortunate part was.

The hero party was right in the center of their path.

“What do we do, Arc?”

“Well, not all beastmen are hostile in the Great Forest, you know?”

As Arc said.

In the eyes of the heroes, the “enemies to be dealt with” were clearly visible.

A red aura fluttered around their target.

While the approach of the wild boars had a red aura surrounding them, the beastmen pursuing them did not have any such aura.

“Uh, for now, we should avoid──”

“Watch out, Arc!”

But the speed of the advancing wild boars and Pocoron was too fast to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, the hero party was swept into that charge.

Arc was nearly glued to Tynia.

Worried that Arc would get caught up, Tynia was swinging her tiny fists at the boars.

But the wild boars only paid attention to their own survival, running straight ahead without regard for the heroes.

The bigger problem was──

“Yay! A man!”

“He’s handsome!”

“Outsiders are offering tributes!”

As the beastmen riding the Pocoron shouted out comments every time they laid eyes on Arc.

Especially when a gigantic Pocoron whisked by──

“Whoa──”

“Master?!”

Suddenly, a thick whip flew out of nowhere, wrapping around Arc’s body without Tynia having a chance to react and hoisting him upwards.

“Outsiders! Offering such fine tributes, you must be well-mannered! I’ll feast well! Welcome to the Great Forest!”

The boisterous voice of a heroine rang out from atop the soaring Pocoron.

“Wait, it’s not a tribute! He’s Tynia’s master!”

Tynia shouted belatedly.

But her voice was drowned out by the booming sounds of the Pocoron thundering beneath their feet, unheard by anyone.

“Master! Masteeeer! Arc! Oooooh!”

Tynia dashed desperately to catch the huge Pocoron, trying to grab its tail feathers.

But even for a human, with one leg only slightly shorter than Tynia, it was impossible to keep up with the striding pace of the Pocoron.

“Wah, wahhh…”

In the end, Tynia crumpled to the ground like a broken potato, sobbing.

A little while later.

Only then did the heroes, having grasped the situation, gather around Tynia to hear the whole story.

But the train had already left the station, and Arc had vanished.

“Damn it! I should have stopped them, even if it meant slaughtering them all…!”

Saha was unable to contain his anger.

He smashed his fist down on a rock, shattering it to pieces.

Not just Saha, everyone wore expressions of anger, resentment, and sorrow, but among them, one hero expressed their fury the most intensely.

“…The impudent wolf folks. If this goes on, Lady Juin will be assaulted…!”

With an expression that seemed like the typical clumsiness of their speech was suddenly shattered, Lumi gnashed her teeth.

Her face looked as if she had shredded a hundred yellow cards in a shredder.

“Lumi… sniff, do you know something…?”

“This place… resembles my hometown, the Great Forest. In the Great Forest, when men are offered as tributes, there’s only one meaning behind it. Krrr…”

Lumi did not bother to elaborate on the meaning.

Men. Handsomeness. Tribute. I’ll feast well.

The words that Tynia had stammered out had already been shared among the hero party.

At that moment.

[Tower of Wishes 16th Floor – Great Forest: Outer Sector of the Lang Tribe]

[★☆☆: Locate the Prophet’s traces.]

[★★☆: Complete the mission within an hour.]

[★★★: Complete the mission without harming any beastmen.]

Originally, the mission window that only appeared before the chosen prophet, Arc.

It popped up in front of all the hero party members.

“This is….”

“So this is what the three-star clear that Arc always casually mentioned meant.”

“Since he’s not here, are we just supposed to take care of it ourselves? How annoying!”

The hero party shared their respective feelings.

And all of their gazes turned towards the temporary leader, the Saint, in Arc’s absence.

“We can’t just sit here like this. Saving Arc is our top priority, but let’s consider the three-star requirements in the process.”

Yo-hena said calmly.

Though Lumi was furious that her intended boyfriend had been snatched away in an instant.

“Krrr… I want to pluck every single hair from the Lang tribe, but since they said not to harm them… I’ll bear with it for now…”

In times like this, unity of opinion was critical.

They agreed with Yo-hena’s judgment.

Up until now, the hero party had been operating in a self-driving mode akin to mounted knights.

Finally, they began advancing in the first fully unmanned autopilot mode.

Gritting their teeth, they started to charge forward.
