Infinite Gacha

The office at the lowest level of "The Abyss.

After informing the members of their roles, Mei, Nazuna, Ice Heat, and Suzu, the members who are to secure Doc, one of the "Masters," get ready with great enthusiasm.

I, Ellie, Nemmu, and Gold, who are in charge of securing Gira, the founder of the "Assassination Society Executioner (Blow)," were asked to stay in the office to continue the discussion.

The topic of discussion was "How do we secure Gila?

According to Miki, Gila is a level 7,000 or so, and is a founder of the "Executioner (Blow)," a group of assassins, so he has excellent assassination skills. Miki can see that the enemies are falling before he knows it. I don't know if it was a weapon, attack magic, or how he was defeated."

I sit in my chair in my office and ask Ellie, Nemmu, and Gold who are standing in front of me.

It's eerie that we don't know how they attack, what their moves are, or how they fight, but they are only at level 7,000. It's not hard for me and Ellie to crush them with our hard push. ...... The question is how to catch Gila without letting him escape.

?"　I don't see how we can escape, but isn't Lord Ellie going to be in the fight to catch Gila and keep him from escaping?"

Gold questions my words.

I answered honestly.

I had already exposed him after defeating the "Deadly Sword (Morte Spada)" that came after the adventurer Dirk's life and destroyed the reputation of Gila, the boss of the organization. ...... If you set a trap too blatantly and say, "We are ready and waiting for you," he will escape. Because there is a possibility. It's surprisingly difficult to find the right balance between the two."

The top five assassins of the "Assassination Society of Executioners (Blow)" attacked me, Dirk, an adventurer who works on the ground, aiming for my life.

We fought off the "Morte Spada".

After extracting the necessary information from them, we did not kill them, but used them as material to destroy Gila's reputation.

We were thinking of fishing out the adventurers "Dirk" by making them hostile to us by overtly destroying their menace. ......

"That was surprisingly difficult,....... If I wandered around town, I'd get into trouble with people around me. On the other hand, if I waited in the wilderness, ruins, or an abandoned village to avoid causing damage,...... there's a chance I'll abandon my mensch to spare my own life and run away."

It's certainly possible," he said. After all, he is the boss of the Morte Spada. ...... There is a possibility that they will be blown away by the wind of cowardice and run away, just as Light-sama feared.

Nemmu looks bitter as she remembers the "Morte Spada" and the others.

Nemmu is the best assassin in the lowest level of "The Abyss.

So, when he found out that assassins were trying to kill me, he warned me about various things. ...... But in the end, it was the "fake" assassins who showed up.

Gold teased me and I even made Nemmu depressed by laughing at his voice mimicry.

It seems that no matter how many "masters" he may be, he thinks that the top of such "fake" assassins is just too high.

I myself do not intend to be that dismissive, but I don't think I'm stupid enough to charge into a place that is ...... blatantly "setting a trap".

Gold folds his arms, stroking his chin, and snarls.

'Hmmm ...... sure is surprisingly difficult when you think about it like that. In the city, the damage is done. Though, in the suburbs, is there a chance they'll be wary of the traps and not get caught?"

I know," he said. So guys, I'd love to know if you have any input. ......"

Light God."

Ellie, who had been silent until now, raises her voice.

I look at her and urge her to speak up.

Ellie, do you have any ideas?

Yes, I do. So, please let me be in charge of the fishing out of Gira, one of the "Master" on the Majin Nation side.

"Well, first of all, what's your plan?"

Of course!"

Ellie proposes her idea with a beautiful voice sounding like a clear bell.

The contents of the proposal made me, Gold, and Nemmu a bit surprised.

I understood Ellie's idea. I understand Ellie's idea, but I think it's a bit much.

The Lord of Light's mercy is like a rain of blessings that falls not only on us but on all people everywhere, but the other party is the ringleader of the thugs who wanted the Lord of Light's life!　There is no need for any mercy!

Ellie further makes an impassioned speech.

She continued, "Also, no matter how dirty and filthy the other party is, it is the Lord God of Light!　We need the right stage, the right class, the right space!　We can't let anything slip through our fingers!"

Nemmu and Gold, who had been somewhat donkeyish about the Gila calling method in the first half of her words, nodded repeatedly as if convinced by Ellie's line about the location of the battle in the second half.

(Personally, I don't care where we fight, as long as it doesn't cause unnecessary damage to the surroundings.)

Above all, it is the adventurer "Dirk" who will be dealing with Gila.

I don't think we should be that concerned about it. ......

Ellie steps forward to pack up to assert herself along with her passionate speech.

I'll have ten or twenty other tricks up my sleeve, of course. So please order me to do it!

............"

I lean back completely in my chair and ponder.

(In the extreme, I don't care about calling Gila or the content of the place where the battle will take place. ) I was just hoping to capture Gila as a result. ) I'm sure that Ellie, who has the highest level of intelligence in "The Abyss," will be able to capture Gila without any problem. He is very confident. (And I'll also use this one incident to make up for the punishment I've been putting off.)

I raise myself from the backrest and turn to face her.

I turn to her and say, "...... Ellie, you seem very confident. I'll leave it to Ellie, then. If you can capture Gila safely, I'll make up for the blunder ...... you committed earlier in the day with the security arrangements in the city. If you fail, however, you will be guilty of more crimes.

By the way, the "blame for the security posture" means that one of the "Master" on the demon race side failed to discover Miki's true identity and allowed him to enter the "Giant Tower Town.

Furthermore, information leaked to the outside world, and Daigo, another "Master", attacked the "Giant Tower".

Miki was captured and Daigo was defeated, but Ellie, who was in charge of the "Giant Tower," felt a strong sense of responsibility and offered him her head.

Naturally, he rejected the offer, but the punishment for her was long overdue.

（If she had to be punished because of Miki and Daigo, it made sense to make up for it by capturing Gira, who was also a member of the magical race "Master". This way, everyone in the "NARAku" would not feel discriminated against Ellie as if they were giving her special treatment. (More importantly, since Ellie is so confident, I think it's safe to trust her with the job.)

I myself do not believe that Ellie is responsible for that incident.

That's why I've been pondering over 'how much punishment to give her,' but if the damage was done by 'Master,' I think catching 'Master' and writing her off is a good idea that makes sense to me personally.

At my suggestion, Ellie, perhaps remembering her previous failure, makes a penitent expression for a moment, but then immediately makes a spirited face and speaks up.

Yes!　Of course!　Please let me try!"

I nodded my head in satisfaction.

Thus, Ellie's plan to "capture Gila" was decided.
