Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

[The Cockatrice on the Verge of Death from Illness protests vehemently. ‘Cock-a-doodle! Doodle!’]
[The Flying Squirrel Starving for Three Days bares its teeth and expresses anger. ‘Grrr!’]
[The Very Gloomy Dog That’s Been Neutered looks at you with a depressed expression. ‘Whine…’]

“Hm hmm~ Hmm hmm~”

Ignoring the malicious complaints filed by the summoned magical beasts.

Elise hummed while twisting her body, thinking about the ‘conqueror’-nim, whose name was Ark, was it? Ah, even his name has a wonderful ring to it…

She carefully packed ‘ones full of eggs’ and ‘robust ones’ into each zone according to his instructions.

She double-checked meticulously for any traps that might have been left unremoved from last time.

“Hehehu, this should satisfy him, right?”

Elise stretched with a satisfied expression after finishing the setup.

And recalling the appearance of the heroes she had met earlier.

“Mine were the biggest…!”

She was determined to win.

At best, only the dog beastkin could somewhat compete, but she was already overwhelmingly superior in exposure.

Victory in bitch power too!

And, with such devoted support.

Victory in legitimate wife power too!

“Huhuhe, hehehe…!”

Elise was lost in happy contemplation of when to pop out again and dance the dance of submission.

If he recognizes her value like this.

Eventually, she would be able to stick with him 24 hours a day.

When that happens.

“I’ll make him unable to live without me…!”

Elise burned with ambition.

“Whoa, this is amazing.”

The corners of my mouth were rising uncontrollably.

The 8th floor’s main theme, the Orc Village, was an open plain with a clear view.

If it had progressed normally without changing the gimmick.
I felt like we could have been easily surrounded when numerous orcs rushed out.

However.

“Kuik! Kuiiii──!”
“Kwek, kwek!”

The orcs, who were screaming in anger.

Were oinking while stuck in a huge sinkhole, unable to get out.

Thanks to that.

“My arm hurts…!”
“Hehe, I just need to flick flick!”

Only our heroes with ranged attack capabilities, Ari and Tinya, had to work a bit hard.

It’s literally click, free meal!

This is how games should be normalized.
Now it finally feels like we’re playing a game.

“So, does Ark trust that demon?”

“Huh, me? Of course not.”

Once bitten, twice shy.
There’s a saying that true betrayal is stabbing someone in the back one more time.

I couldn’t blindly believe a promise made only with words.

In this bleak modern society, people should always be prepared for betrayal.

Elise, you know what?
I liked you…

“Then are you not going to accept the surrender request?”

“Of course I will.”

With this much effort, I should accept it.

But.

“After we go to the 10th floor Zone 10.”

It’s best to create an environment where betrayal is impossible in the first place.
…And there’s not much use in recruiting her anyway.

Well, Elise’s performance is poor…
There’s not much use for her in the field either…

All distribution characters are like that originally.

They’re naturally weaker compared to limited gacha characters that are blatantly designed to suck money or characters with beach skins equipped.

Tinya is just being used in the role of the lacking magic attacker we need right now, but in the long term, she’s second or third string.

Elise… I might use her in all-out battles later, maybe.

I’ll probably just display her in the guild house as a decorative demon.
Well, it’d be nice if I find another use for her. Mhehe…!

While thinking that, I suddenly looked at the necklace around Tinya’s neck.

…It looks like a dog collar every time I see it.

“Yohena, that necklace, does she have to keep wearing it like that?”

“Well, if she goes around in her demon form, other heroes might think it’s strange, and, um, her clothes are a bit…”

Tinya’s clothes are a bit revealing.
It’s a bit of a shame to only enjoy it in the tower…

No!
I’m not an extremely wicked lolicon!

Anyway.
Thanks to that necklace, Tinya could change into normal clothes when returning to the city.

Elise had quite an aggressive costume design too…

…Then is there not much meaning in having her as a decorative demon?

This time, I should subtly ask Harong to make a necklace that lets me dress her in clothes that match my taste.

Starting from the 7th floor Zone 10, today’s tower climb ended at the 8th floor Zone 9.

After lightly obtaining experience potions from the daily dungeon, we returned to the guild house and took a nap.

“An orc’s skull! Umm, 113 gold!”
“Thank you, little miss~”
“Heheh.”

While observing the work attitude of the new night part-timer who officially started work today, I mixed cocktails diligently.

…The glory days are short-lived.

It didn’t reach the frenzied popularity of the first opening.
But there was still some demand, so the profit graph was still achieving surplus.

The biggest reason for the drop in sales was probably because the ‘drug effect’ wore off.

Maybe the regular customers’ levels have already easily exceeded 10?

Because of that.

“Aaark. You’re not watering this down, are you? It’s been kinda off lately?”
“Haha, of course not.”

I had to deal with such groundless slander.

…I didn’t add water.
I just increased the proportion of orange juice a bit.

Do business honestly.
But ‘minute numerical adjustments’ should be made for healthy balance, right?

The next level up for the general store is at the 10th floor.

Since Elise is doing a mid open, if we rush to the 10th floor quickly and destroy the nexus, we’ll have more room to buy potions.

Soon, if we develop cocktails using low-grade Elixirs of Growth and sell them a bit more expensively, sales will normalize again.

“Hehe…”

I felt pleased.

“The breast meat salad hasn’t come out yet!”
“Yes yes, coming right up!”

Our party’s official bad inventory, orc breast meat, was also starting to gain popularity as a side dish.

A frugal economic system that wastes nothing!

“Ark… But this is a bit…”
“Shh. If only Ari closes her eyes and quietly lets it slide, no problems will arise.”

Right?
It tastes exactly the same, even chewier.
The nutrients are probably similar too.

It’s just that our heroes are full of prejudice based on appearance and are picky eaters. They eat thigh meat well saying it’s delicious.

There’s no mandatory country of origin labeling system.
No need for HACCP certification marks.

Isn’t the other world actually a paradise for restaurateurs?

“Augh.”

…Everything was going well except for feeling like I was going to die of heat sitting in front of the oven grilling meat with my hood on.

Yeah.
Everything is going well.

…Usually problems arise at times like this.

Huck.
Shit.
What am I thinking, like ‘I’ve taken care of it’…!

Bang──

The next moment.

The door swung open, and knights including Saha entered in a group.

Ah, it wasn’t a problem but a group of customers.
Oh my, welcome our lucky tank!

Of course, I couldn’t show it outwardly.
Just thinking it inside.

“Welcome, Saha! And fellow companions!”

I greeted them cheerfully.

But Saha’s expression wasn’t that good.
Well, did something difficult happen while patrolling?

“We’re here for underage drinking enforcement.”

“…Pardon?”

…?
What nonsense is this?

“Please show your IDs, everyone.”
“Here!”
“Haha, we met once at the meeting pub, right? Here it is.”
“…!”

What’s going on?
No, shit, how are there IDs in another world? And why are you all showing them?

I desperately tried to regain my composure while forgetting about the burning meat and surveyed the whole store.

And in my eyes.
One purple-haired woman trying to sneak out through the back door of the store.

Yeah.
Just run away…!

“Over there, please stop for a moment.”
“Ugh…!”

No, why don’t you run!
You should have just ignored it and fled!

Eventually, the purple-haired woman was caught by Saha.

“Ah, I’m still eighteen…”
“Hmm. I see. Don’t worry too much. According to city law, the fault lies with the owner who didn’t check IDs.”

She was let off with a warning.

…?

This is a situation I experienced while working part-time at a convenience store──

“Ark? Would you mind coming with us to the knights’ headquarters for a moment.”

“Pardon…?”

You’re joking, right?

“…It was official duty. I had no choice, Revealer-nim.”

“Y-yes… It’s not Saha’s fault…”

The result of the disposition.

3 days business suspension.

…In reality it would be 1 month, so compared to that, it could be said to be a relatively light sentence, but…

“B-but… No, what kind of law is this?”

It’s unfair, so unfair!
It’s too unfair!
Just when I normalized the heroes who don’t spend money!

“To be honest, in my hometown, the City of Flame, there’s no concept of minors… But in this city, the laws created by Goddess Sweety are strictly applied.”

Saha handed me a book.

[GAME INDUSTRY PROMOTION ACT]

“I don’t really understand the meaning of the sacred letters written on the cover, but the contents inside are translated into the common language. Our knights’ code of conduct is also included, and there’s a clause called ‘Confirmation of Harmfulness to Youth’.”

“Urgh…”

I grabbed the back of my neck and fell backwards.

I’ve been framed…!
