Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Entering the kitchen set up in one corner of the Guild House.

I rolled up my sleeves with a solemn expression.

If it was just for me to eat, I could do it sloppily.

But this was food for the esteemed heroes to eat.
I must put in my utmost effort to create the best result.

The reason.

[You are starting to cook.]
[The grade of the dish is determined by skill level and ingredient quality.]

The game system that keeps popping up in strange places.

In the original game, it ended with just tapping yap-yap in time with the rhythm game format.

…Unfairly, here I had to cook directly.
And diligently too. Doing my best.

What if I fail to season properly or burn the meat while cooking?

[Disappointing Wild Boar Skewer (★)]
[A wild boar skewer burnt to a crisp inside and out, to the point where one might doubt the cook’s qualifications. It’s no exaggeration to call someone who can maintain a smile while eating this a living Buddha.]
[Recovers 5% HP. Increases attack power by 3% for 24 hours.]

The blade of sarcasm forged in the form of a status window stabs me.
The price for not cooking the meat evenly is this cruel.

On the other hand.

[Extremely Excellent Wild Boar Skewer (★★★)]
[A masterpiece in the world of skewers boasting the essence of crispy outside, juicy inside. Not only has it eliminated gamey odors with the appropriate use of spices, but it has also captured its unique flavor more intensely.]
[Recovers 20% HP. Increases attack power by 10% for 24 hours.]

“Huhu.”

I’m scared of my own talent.
Perhaps this body is a god of cooking?

Anyway.

Not simply for the purpose of filling stomachs.
Cooking is something that can provide all sorts of buffs depending on how it’s prepared.

“Woof! Smells good woof!”

“Lumi, wait.”

I chased out Lumi who couldn’t wait and poked her face into the kitchen with perked ears and sniffing nose.

You’re shedding fur.
Fur shouldn’t get into the food.

After struggling hard in front of the hearth like that.
I completed skewers that taste good and look good!

“Food’s ready~”

“Woof!”
“Wow! Ark, you’re good at cooking too?”
“You worked hard, Ark.”

I served the heroes who worked hard today and will work hard tomorrow.

Lumi, who took a hearty bite.

“Woof woof! Woof! Woof woof woof!”

Forgot human speech and sparkled her eyes while wagging her tail.

“Ahh… I want beeeer…”

Ari showed the typical behavior of an alcoholic.

“For our daily bread…”

Praying at the dining table.
The saint indeed has different manners, but.

“Ump──”

“Yohena. Eat quickly before it gets cold.”

No, I’m the one who gave you your daily bread.
Why are you praying to God? Hm?
It tastes better when you eat together with others.

I stuffed a skewer into the saint’s mouth.

After feeding them well, it’s time for them to earn their keep.

“Beeeeer…”

“Do this first and then you can drink. It’ll be over soon.”

When I checked by staying up all night last time.
The shop’s daily purchase limit resets at 5 AM.

Since there’s also an entry limit for the daily dungeon.
We must definitely run it today before the reset to avoid losses.

Moreover, it’s a brutally cruel system where you can only choose to participate in either the experience dungeon or the gold dungeon once a day.

There’s no time to hesitate!

Late at night.
We arrived near the Tower of Wishes again, but.
Contrary to the thought that no one would be there──

“Stop. This is an area where an anomaly has occurred. It could be dangerous.”

A very familiar face was in front of the entrance to the daily dungeon.
A crack that appeared next to the tower entrance.

“Saha-nim, you’re working hard.”
“Saint-nim, you’re working hard too.”

The undisputed 0-tier tank of the fire deck.
The core key card of my original account.
The root of my nickname ‘LoveFireLoveSaha’.

Saha-nim was flashing her red eyes.
It’s really full plate armor. So damn cool…

Come to think of it.
Saha had a setting where she formed her own order of knights and acted as a vigilante group.

With the heart of an innocent boy facing a popular celebrity in person.
I was about to take off my hood and step forward to greet her, but.

“…Yohena?”

“I’ll explain.”

After effectively stopping my action by snatching my clothes.
Yohena, who threw me to Lumi, approached Saha a bit closer.

Whisper whisper.
Chatter chatter.
Murmur murmur.

“Hmm. So that’s how it is. I should believe it since it’s the saint’s words. But be careful.”

“Yes, thank you for your concern. Saha.”

The two of them whispered and reached a conclusion on their own.

“What did you talk about?”

I asked while moving past Saha into the crack.

“I explained it roundabout as if you received an oracle. I thought that would make the conversation go faster than if you stepped forward.”

Hmm.
Is the saint supposed to lie?
Anyway, if it passed without incident, that’s fine.

It was quite disappointing at times like this not to be the protagonist.

If I were the original protagonist?
Saha might have immediately knelt down saying, “I greet the Revealer!”
Something like that could have happened.

Tsk.

“Well then, shall we go?”

Someday when all the bugs are resolved, that day might come.

Rewinding time a bit.
Right after the wild boar skewer party.

While the shop owner was clanking away doing the dishes.
The three heroes who had eaten their fill and were sprawled out were enjoying the peace.

The first to break that calm was Yohena.

“Ari? There’s something I want to ask.”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Did you do anything with Ark last night?”

In the end, Yohena couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.

“Last night…? Ah, that… I was half-forced again…”

She ended up pressing Ari’s trauma button.

Most moments with Ark were a series of joys for Ari.
But occasionally, there were times when she fell into a hell where she thought she might die.

The potion force-feeding torture.
At first, she drank it willingly, feeling her body improve dramatically and getting stronger with each drink.
Thinking that the name ‘Elixir of Growth’ was fitting.

But even something good for your body and tasty gets tiring when you eat it continuously.
Today Lumi bore that pain instead, but.
Gulping down over 20 bottles non-stop was truly torture.

“Ugh, suddenly my stomach…”

Just imagining it made her stomach hurt.
Just imagining it made her feel like retching.
The feeling of the delicious wild boar skewer she had just eaten churning in her stomach.

“I think we’ll do it again tomorrow, so let’s stop talking about this…?”

Ari ended up changing the subject.

Yohena wore a serious expression.

Half-forced…?
Stomach hurts…?
Even retching…? No way…?

Of course, she probably wasn’t really forced.
With that overwhelmingly handsome face under the hood to begin with.
It’s understandable to be enthralled even if a bit forceful.

“Ari, and Lumi. Let’s talk.”

A countermeasure was needed.

Even if Ark is only half, no, about 3%.
It’s true that he can exert the power of a Revealer.

But if Ark’s promiscuous lifestyle becomes known, problems could arise.

Heroes with weak sense of chastity might approach Ark targeting his body.
Ark might target children who are still mentally immature.

“As you all know, Ark’s appearance is fatal.”

“That’s true…?”

“Right woof! Master is handsome woof!”

Yohena looked into Ari’s and Lumi’s eyes.

“As you know, a hero party can have up to five members. Having too much contact with too many heroes could cause problems.”

“…I’m only 3-star…”

“Woof?”

“So, please try to prevent Ark from taking off his hood outside as much as possible. To avoid drawing unnecessary attention.”

“That’s a good idea…!”

“Woof!”

They hatched a plot.

The experience daily dungeon had a very simple structure.

There wasn’t even much of a structure to speak of.

Just a square room, with one slightly large scarecrow.

[Dimensional Rift: Elixir of Growth (Stage 1)]
[★☆☆ : Endure until the time limit expires.]
[★★☆ : Leave the Rift Scarecrow with less than 30% HP.]
[★★★ : Defeat it within the time limit.]

Actually, it’s not even “endure”.
The scarecrow doesn’t do anything except get hit.

In other words.
Just hit it and you get experience.

Of course, the three heroes on their first visit were clueless.

“Now, let’s hit that scarecrow with all our might. Then good things will happen.”

I kindly suggested the strategy.

“Bark!”

The loyal dog Lumi immediately jumped in and started unleashing woof-woof punches on the scarecrow.

“Hyah!”

Ari also quickly nocked arrows to her bow and fired thwip thwip, thwip thwip.

And.

“Yohena, why don’t you go beat it with your book too? It’ll be good stress relief.”

Where are you trying to just cast buffs and freeload?
Saint-nim, it’s time to use your body.

Then Yohena also reluctantly ran over and started hitting the scarecrow bang bang while shaking her pouch of holy power.

Small breasts are nice too.
But they do look a bit lacking compared to the oversized puppy next to her.

Anyway, it was definitely a rare sight.
This much is worth giving 5 stars to the incarnation manager.

After spending time enjoying the view like that.

“Oh!”

Just as the scarecrow finally went pop and burst.
A treasure chest appeared with a ta-da.

It dies quickly since it’s stage 1.

“Ark! Open this!”

Ari, enchanted by the treasure chest, tried to open it while grunting, but it seemed heroes’ hands weren’t allowed as it remained tightly shut and wouldn’t open.

So Ari called for me.

“Yes, coming.”

Usually these treasure chests open with a touch.

If I put my smartphone to the treasure chest like tapping a transit card.

Beep─ Thank you─

…Of course no such sound was made.

Just creeak, thud!

The treasure chest opened.

“Kyaaaaaah!!!!”

Ari had a seizure and fell backwards after checking the contents.
What an overreaction.

“Whine…”

Lumi also left a disappointed bark and backed away.
Did she think there would be bones?

Yohena also shook her head after checking the contents.

Why are they acting like this?
It’s something they can’t get enough of.

I stuffed the potions into my inventory while smiling brightly.

And it’s not even the lowest grade, but low-grade Elixir of Growth!

I wonder if it tastes different?
I should get a taste review from Ari later.

Some time after clearing, we were automatically ejected outside.

“Oh, you’ve returned.”

Saha greeted us with a calm face.

She’s working hard until late.
I should give a reward to this noble knight.
And to satisfy my fan heart that I couldn’t earlier.

Rummaging through my inventory.

There are various types of affection items.
Items that everyone universally likes.
Items that specific individuals are crazy about.

Fortunately, among today’s daily sale items, there was one affection item that Saha officially likes the most.

“You worked hard. Please take this.”

I placed one ‘Phoenix Tail Feather’ on Saha’s glove.
And as a bonus, I also held out one experience potion.

“T-This is…?”

A flustered voice.
Ah. You can’t hear this in the game.
This is gourmet.

“It’s a gift. See you next time.”

Cool and not clingy.
The farewell was perfect too.

Building connections in advance like this.
When I receive revelations later, huh?
The probability feels like it increases intuitively.

There’s a gacha superstition like that too.
They say you’ll get the character you want if you draw fan art of them.
…Though my disastrous drawing skills earned harsh criticism for symbolizing avant-garde destruction.

Anyway.
Really, see you next time.

The figure of Ark, leading three women and suddenly returning to the city.

Saha stared at his back with blank eyes.

In Saha’s hometown.
The City of Flames had an old tradition related to phoenix tail feathers.

One means welcome.
Two means joy.
Three means touched.

And finally giving seven means──

Eternal love.
Give me your life.
Then I will become your world.

It was a story from oral folklore passed down from the distant past.
Saha loved that romantic story very much.

“Haah.”

Until now, she had lived a life without connections to men.

Today for the first time.

Saha was able to feel an emotion called ‘heart-fluttering’.
