LUCKY GACHA EPISODE 4

One night with meals for two people, 8,000 rin. According to Rifua, it seems that nothing will be cheap here.

With two people this is same price as Japan, or even cheaper! First, we decided to eat, and the bar was in the first floor dining room which it served as as well.

“Isn’t that the guy that won the magic flame sword?”                                                                          

“Magical– I wish.”

Those already eating and drinking are saying such things.

It’s all focused at me, and it doesn’t stop.

When I sat down supper for hotels guests was brought out. It was soup, with pasta and two small loaves of bread.

Immediately Rifua takes a bite out of her bread. I eat my bread and the potato soup. Yes, it is delicious. I thought it might not be palatable, but this is a relief.

After we finished dinner we went up to our room on the second floor. Rifua immediately jumped onto the bed.

“I’m soo full. I still can’t get a connection to the heavens, and since we need to get along in this world in earnest, so we should sleep….”

I sat down on the other bed.

On a neighbouring bed, a beautiful girl idles. Thin legs extend from the divine dress. White thighs, a small butt, I take it all in with my wavering eyes.

I can’t calm down!

“Hey Jinta, what do want to do next? Become an adventurer?”        

“When you say adventurer, do you mean the monster slaying, treasure finding, quest going types?”        

“If you have the ability, you can earn money. But it’s not a very secure job.”

“A dangerous choice.”    

“Hmmm……. So…..”

At that point Rifua fell asleep.

I think I’ll go to be. I am quite tired. But….. as expected, I can’t fall asleep.

HP and MP have recovered considerably. ….. Can’t fall asleep anyway, so let’s go and try out the magic flame sword.

I left the inn and walked towards the main gates, and headed out for the Levon Plains.

In the town, only bars and clubs were still dimly lit. Approaching the gates, I see the two guards who are on duty.

It appears to be an anti-bandit measure or something like it. I don’t appear to be suspicious, do I? There isn’t anything in my possession that would show any social status. All I have is my work clothes and company ID.

—But here I can’t pass by on fellow worker-like greetings!

The two guards are yawning and chatting, their conversation drifting off to boredom.

Okay–.                                                                             “I’m ~~ tired.”

“Glad you could make it.”

Well, I made it! I‘ll leave as quickly as possible and—-

“Hey, you.”

Crap.

“Are you perhaps, the bro from earlier today?”

Huh? Bro? Oh! This was the guy with the gacha addiction! Since he’s wearing armor, and his stance is different, I didn’t recognise him as a quote-unquote ‘soldier’.

The guy from the gacha shop today is now working the night shift at the gate. Thank you for your hard work.

“Umm…. Thanks.”

The man began to explain the situation that had happened at the gacha shop to his coworker while I nodded lightly.

“Okay, so this guy actually won the grand prize on a single try? Seriously, what the hell?”  

“My purchase was that amazing? What’s with that aura that appeared at the mention of my deeds?”

Oh, they’re colleagues. ……There’s that much to admire?

The coworker approached me and shook my hand.

“Oh! Now maybe I can get something good next time from this!”

This makes me feel like some kind of mascot. The first guy shakes hands with me as well.

“Bro, You shouldn’t go out at night, the plains are way too dangerous right now. Are you aware that there’s a behemoth out there?”

“It’s just a short walk, I’ll be fine.”

That is what I said as I exited the town. To be threatened in that sort of manner, makes me feel like a scared little peasant.

Currently, my fighting experience is zero. That goblin really didn’t count as I happened to fall on the thing. But I’m an adventurer now, and I need the experience.

As I relied on the moonlight, I saw what appeared to be a big black rock in the distance.

A big rock…. Was there one here before? Oh well, this is as good a place as any to try out my sword.

I placed my hand on the handle, and quickly unsheathed the sword.

“……? Even though Rifua said people couldn’t use it, maybe I can?”

Let’s do this, I’ll start by using that rock for target practice.

“Let’s see here…. It said something about shooting magic from a long distance.”

To start with, how do I go about shooting with this thing? Crap, I should have asked Rifua about this.

I raise the sword and hold it out before me.

Whoa. A magical circle appeared at my feet.

“Wow, Awesome! I’m like a wizard now!”

I was surprised by my childish comments. It looks like I can use this sword after all.

A sinister black flame envelops the blade of the sword. Can I fire off a shot with it? Will it even hit something?

There’s a sensation of power leaving my body. I guess that means the sword has absorbed some of my MP.

A dark red magic circle appeared at the tip of the blade before I was even aware of it. I raised the sword above my head, and struck downward with it as I called out the skill’s name.

“[Black Fire]!”

At that moment flames began to converge at the tip, and a gout of black flames shot out. Growling, the firebomb spat out and struck the rock.

DOGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Just after it hit, a black light filled the night sky. A roaring sound rang out, and a terrible shock ran through the field.

“GUGAAOOOOOONNNNNNNNN—-!????”

The the thing that I had taken to be a rock let out a great scream. That’s…. a hand, and a foot, and a tail. …..Is that….It’s not a rock?

“…eh? It was the behemoth?”

It wasn’t a rock. It’s got zero HP!

As it burned in the black flames, the behemoth’s body turned to dust, mingling with the smoke from the fire. When the smoke finally cleared, there was a crater of about 100 meters. (TN note: roughly 328 feet and 1 inch in diameter.)

The flames were so powerful that the body of the behemoth disappeared with out a trace, leaving only the crystal core.

“What. The. Hell.”

A single spell from that sword is like firing off a nuclear weapon?!? I didn’t even need bothering to aim with this thing.

Extreme distance + Ultra wide area + Insanely destructive power.

I’m a total novice at this, and I beat a monster that supposedly had a large group of people fighting it.

The surrounding grass and trees have been atomised in the blast.

I’ve surpassed the level called [Burn], it seems….

I approached the crater and surveyed the center of the blast.

The crystal core was silver this time as well. Rifua said that it had a 3% chance of dropping, so my luck must be holding up for me.

Since I defeated it, I guess I’ll go ahead and collect the spoils.

For reasons beyond my understanding, pieces of the behemoth have started to fall here and there. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be large scales and fangs– various body parts.

I decided to collect it all and tossed it into my item box. Oh, I just hit level 18 from defeating this thing.

There’s been a considerable increase in Endurance and Agility. But the MP consumption is quite severe, indeed. I’m glad that I can adjust the amount.

“For my first fight, this is pretty amazing.”

Still tasting the scorched flavor of the plains, I returned to the road and made my way back to town.

I again met with the two guards from earlier as they continued their watch at the gate.

“Are you alright, bro? There was a terrifying sound not too long ago…..”                                   “Oh, that? That was the behemoth that I just defeated.”

““Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaat!?””

A voice is tightened.

“Be-be-behemoth, the one that the [Crescent Lights] party tried to subjugate……?”                                                          

“That group you mentioned…. Who are they?”

“You don’t know, bro? They’re ranked 4th in the listing of super famous hunting union.”

“Here, see this fang and these scales?”

I take them out individually from the item box. Because of the explosion, my clothes reek and are somewhat burned. I should buy some new ones tomorrow.

“Was that loud sound from a while ago your doing, bro?”                                                                 “Oh, yeah.”

The coworker edged back while rolling his eyes in bewilderment.

“Crescent Lights fought it for seven hours and still had to retreat…..”

The man stares at me in utter surprise and shock. Would you guys stop staring at me, it’s starting to get annoying.

Because I used magic, I’m starting to feel fatigued. If I go to bed, I should fall asleep immediately.

“Well, I’m heading back to my inn, goood night.”

Is what I said to the two dumbfounded guards and headed back to the inn.

“Where have you been…..?”

Huh? Why does she sound like she’s been crying?

“I couldn’t sleep, so I took a walk outside.”      “Please don’t leave me alone like that again…. I thought you’d abandoned me.”      

“Please don’t cry.”

I sat down on the bed next to Rifua and began to stroke her golden hair.

“I’m not crying!”

She says while sniffling and wiping at her eyes.

“You’re not crying?”

Rifua begins to stare at me. The unexpected distance of her face is surprisingly close.

There was just enough light to see her beautiful face. I could tell that she was blushing.

“Um, I-I’ll be sleeping over there.”

“Okay. If that’s the case, then I’ll go sleep then.”

Rifua’s attempt to move pulled me in, and it seemed a little too strong.

“Eh? A-ah.”                                                      

“――”

Our lips met in that moment.

“Oh…m-my!?!?”

As our eyes met, Rifua tried to look away, and her face got even redder, before she collapsed on the bed. Yes, right now…… I’ll kiss you. Even with her softening face, my face warms as well.

Let’s got to sleep for today………

“…………………………………………………………”

It was my first day into my new reincarnation, and even though I was exhausted from using magic, I couldn’t sleep at all.
