Infinite Gacha

"Oh, brother ...... are you really going?"

'...... will have to go. It's an order from the Chieftain."

A port in the south of the Queen Elf Kingdom.

From there, two beast bear brothers stand in front of a dense forest.

Both brothers are over level 200 and are active as adventurers of the beast-man bear species.

Moreover, the "Giant Tower Witch" has informed them that they cannot complain if they are killed for "trespassing" if they go to "Giant Tower Town" by any route other than the regular route with a handbill.

Therefore, the merchants who carry goods are those who have a solid identity.

The profit from transporting goods is about 1.5 times the price of ordinary peddlers, and the "Giant Tower Town" goods carried on the way back are of high quality and are bought at a high price in the town.

At first, the merchants are feared and do not want to approach them, but when they realize that trading with "Giant Tower Town" is explicitly "profitable," they try to enter the market somehow.

However, it is difficult to obtain permission for newcomers, except for those merchants who have been involved in the business since the beginning.

Even if they do, only a small number of them are introduced by the merchants who have been involved in the business from the beginning.

The merchants who entered the market in the early stages were those who came out of the "Infinite Gacha" cards, and those who entered the market in the middle of the process were almost the same.

The fact that they are paid 1.5 times the profit of other merchants' prices is just an internal money spinning around.

Because of this, it was not unusual for a merchant who entered the forest without a bill and tried to make a direct appeal to the authorities to be defeated by a monster along with his escort.

Of course, this was limited to those who had been warned first and still did not back down.

These days, as might be expected, there are no more merchants who would do such a reckless thing.

The brothers bear the responsibility of stepping into such a dangerous area without a bill.

The reason is that this request came directly from the chief of the bear tribe.

The contents are ...... to go secretly to "Giant Tower Town" and deliver a letter to the "Giant Tower Witch".

They do not know the contents of the letter and have been instructed to burn the letter immediately if they are badly injured or attacked by a third party.

If the letter is passed to a third party, the worst that can happen is the destruction of the Beastmen Confederacy. At best, the bear tribe will be extinguished.

I don't want to accept such a request with such a serious responsibility, but please contact me at .......

If the other side refuses for any reason other than what is acceptable to them, the parents, siblings, and relatives of the bear clan will be treated coldly, which is more obvious than seeing fire.

Therefore, "refusal" is not an option for them.

According to the chief, as long as they read the letter, they will never be killed as trespassers. Even according to the story of the port city in the Queen Elf Kingdom, even if you trespass, you will be warned at least once without being killed instantly.

But that's just a rumor, right?　I'm scared, I want to go home ......"

I'm the same way, but I have to go. Here we go!"

The younger brother bear species, larger in stature than his older brother, shrugs and shivers.

Looking back at him and saying strongly, the elder brother stepped into the forest alone.

The route they chose for their entry point was not the regular route.

It is a place off the port town where it is not visible to third parties.

The chief had ordered them to enter the forest as unnoticed as possible.

The unmanicured forest was overgrown with grass, but this was not a problem for the large bears of the species.

The two of them proceeded in the direction of "Giant Tower Town," holding a blunt weapon in their hands and using their sense of smell and hearing to be on the lookout.

After about an hour or so, they notice something unusual as they continue on, keeping a wary eye on their surroundings.

At first glance, it appears to be a nice, quiet forest. ......

'Yes, it's too quiet for any amount of time, this forest.

Oh ...... no sign of monsters, animals, or even small animals."

The United Beastmen States also has a dense forest between it and the Elven Queen State.

The bear siblings have been in the forest since they were young, picking up firewood, setting traps to catch animals, running away from monsters, and many other experiences in the forest.

There are several creatures in the forest, and there should be more signs of life, smells, sounds, etc. ......

At the moment, the forest is devoid of any of these things.

Stop."

!"

As we were puzzled by the discomfort from the forest we knew, a dignified third party's voice rang out.

The bear species beastman brothers were level 200 and were frantically searching for signs of their surroundings so as not to be attacked by monsters or other creatures.

Because they are beastmen and have more acute senses such as ears and noses than other species, they were confident in their ability to spot enemies, and thanks to this, they had survived many life-threatening encounters as adventurers.

Despite this, he was unable to recognize the girl in a maid's uniform standing in front of him until she called out to him, and the huge monster that looked like something out of the mythical world of "a giant four-legged beast with a snake for a tail.

The bear species beast race involuntarily starts rattling and shaking.

One of the fairy maids warns them again.

You have entered the forest belonging to the "Witch of the Giant Tower" without permission. If you have lost your way and come to the end of the forest, we will take you to the entrance. If you have entered with malicious intent, please contact us at ......."

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

The snake hellhound standing behind the fairy maid lets out a menacing roar.

'You will redeem it with your life. Which will you choose?"

Oh, yes, ah......"

The brothers together lose their voices from fear.

Barely able to move their trembling bodies with the pride of being the older brother, they fumble with their trembling hands for the letter given to them by the chief and hold it out to him.

He takes the letter from the chief and holds it out to him.

"Huh. ...... is that a common direct appeal letter ......?"

The fairy maid gives the Snake Hellhound a 'not again' look and instructs him to go get it with just his eyes.

In fact, merchants and others who hire adventurers often make direct appeals to the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

Most of them were not good, but I could not ignore them, so I checked them out.

Hee!

The snake hellhound approaches slowly and soundlessly, dexterously adding the proffered letter and returning with it in its mouth.

The fairy maid took the letter and patted the snake hellhound.

The Snake Hellhound squints happily like a domesticated dog.

After a round of praise, she opens the letter.

He checked the contents and was about to say his usual words of rejection, but...

......!　Are you sure that there is no mistake in this content?

?"　No, no, I--we weren't given any information about the contents of the letter ourselves. ......"

One moment, please.

The fairy maid takes out her "telepathy" card and starts to contact somewhere.

To the bear-breed beastman brothers, it seems as if she is suddenly speaking into the void.

The fairy maid, who had just finished her report, changes her condescending attitude toward the trespassers.

She now treats them as if they were her guests.

I am very sorry," she says. The fairy maid, who had just finished her report, changes her attitude toward the trespassers and begins to treat them as if they were her guests. The transfer item will be used, so the move will only take a moment. Would you be so kind as to come with us?"

To be honest, I'd like to say no and quickly return to my home, but .......

I was so frightened that my brother, standing behind me with tears in his eyes, looked as if he was about to start crying, but I could not choose refusal as an option.

The older brother replies with a tight smile.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Thank you for your generosity."

The fairy maid bowed again, approached their side, left the snake hellhound behind, and moved inside the "giant tower" with the bear species beast with the "transfer" card.
