Infinite Gacha

"Sasha, we are pleased to inform you that you will be accompanying us safely."

!"　Really!　I'm so happy!"

After the meeting, Mikael, Deputy Commander of the "White Knights," leaves his special quarters and meets Sasha in a private room of a top-class restaurant in the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom.

The restaurant's culinary skills are one of its selling points, but the private room and high level of secrecy is also one of the restaurant's selling points.

Sitting facing each other, they enjoy their meal and engage in conversation.

Sasha makes a powerful gut-punch in his chest.

（Now we can go inside the tower where the lights are!　This time I have to kill him with my own hands for sure!)

The Prime Minister has been supporting our efforts with all his heart. As proof of this, he is lending us the Fantasma Class weapons that have been passed down in the Prime Minister's family from generation to generation. And the Count's family as well, right?"

Yes, sir!"　My father-in-law will also lend me a fantasma class weapon that has been passed down in his family for generations. He has asked me to protect myself and Mikael-sama with it.

This is reassuring."

Of course, the vizier and the counts do not really lend fantasy-class (phantasma-class) armaments out of the goodness of their hearts.

Naturally, it is for the benefit of both houses.

Even though Sasha was late to the race (human) adventurers, he was the second to obtain important information about the "mysterious giant tower" and report it to us.

This is a big plus.

Furthermore, if the two fiancées participate in the national crisis together and play an active role, Sasha and Mikael's right to speak out will be undeniably enhanced.

If their fame increases, the vizier and count faction, which seeks to destroy the matriarchy and change the social structure in favor of men, will be able to support their daughters and push them to the top of the list of candidates for the next queen.

If they succeed, they will become the next queen and will be able to destroy the matriarchy with a cushion.

Therefore, the prime minister and the counts want them to be active, so they have even lent their treasured fantasma-class weapons to the Counts.

You can see how enthusiastic both families are.

From Sasha's point of view, all she needs is to kill the lights and be promised a happy future for herself.

Mikhail, on the other hand, would have been happy if he could have won over "Quiet Hardy" and expanded his influence.

Thus, the four intentions overlapped nicely.

（The "White Knights" and the "Phantasma Class" weapons lent by the Prime Minister and the Countesses. Since we're going to deploy a force capable of bringing down a whole country, there's no way we can fail. ...... But we should always have insurance in place.)

The cautious Mikael always assumes the worst and unconsciously caresses his own pocketbook.

He may be a bystander, but he certainly has royal blood in his veins. He is not without heirlooms that have been handed down from generation to generation, like a prime minister or a count's family.

He unconsciously stroked that heirloom, the insurance policy.

Sasha tilts her head at the unnatural movement.

Before she could ask, Mikael consciously made a smile and picked up the wine glass.

Sasha, why don't we make a toast to our bright future together again?

'Good. Now let's go to ......."

Well misled, Sasha takes the wine glass.

The glass was already filled with blood-red wine.

The two clinked wine glasses with the expression of two engaged couples who are, on the surface, on good terms.

The two of them clinked their wine glasses, looking on the surface like two engaged couples on the brink of love.

Cheers!"

A clear, hard glass sound echoes.

The two listen to the sound and moisten their lips with wine, dreaming of a rose-colored future.

"--I received a request by name from the Adventurers' Guild in the capital of the Queen Elf Nation.

The throne room on the fourth floor of the "Giant Tower.

As I sit down on the throne, I tell him that we are the best in the world.

The Queen Elf Kingdom has adopted the strategy Ellie predicted. It seems that they will use us as a diversion (decoy) and surprise attack the giant tower with the White Knights, which is their main objective.

It's nice to be right, but it's not nice to be too predictable," he said. I was thinking of a countermeasure in case they came with another move, but it turned out to be too predictable.

Ellie, standing in front of me, lets out a cold chuckle.

I smile as coldly as she does and tell her that we have the best we can muster out of the "abyss" in front of us at this point in time.

The stage is finally set for revenge against Sasha. ...... I wonder what she will look like on this stage.

I imagine the image and make myself smile even deeper.

With that smile, I called out to everyone in turn.

Ellie, I need you to take charge of the whole operation and make sure that the girls we've brought inside the tower don't escape.

Ellie smiles, "I swear I will not disappoint the Light God."

Aoyuki, I want you to move the monsters so that no one but Sasha and the White Knights will get in the way during the operation. Also, Gold, who will act as a diversion, and Nemmu and the others, I want you to direct them so that we can raise our reputation as adventurers and raise our profile. On the day of the event, my impostor will be on the team, so please be careful.

Aoyuki cuts his gaze with his hoodie and tells us, "--As the Lord has said."

'Nazna. Nazna's opponent, the leader of the 'White Knights', seems to be the strongest elf species in the Queen Elf Kingdom. He's probably a small thing for Nazuna, the strongest in the Natsura, to deal with, but try him out as a yardstick to see how strong you are on earth."

I get it!"　I'll do my best for my master!" Nazna replied cheerfully.

Tin's opponent is said to be the best long-range type among the elven species that use bows. I heard that Tin's opponent is the best long-range type among the elves who use bows. And you can use it as a touchstone to measure your own abilities. However, I heard that he is a typical elf type who uses up his race (human) as an example. I feel bad. We won't kill you to get information out of you, but you can crush them to your heart's content."

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

Raito-sama no wish, supreme wo motte oshimasu--tonokoto desu."

Ice Heat and Mera's counterparts are twin elven species. These two also seem to enjoy torturing and killing humans. It's extremely unpleasant - now make them do the same to you, break their hearts, and then crush them. Can you do that?"

Ice Heat, I will surely live up to your expectations, Master."

Kkekekekekeke!　It's my specialty. You can count on me, master."

I finish talking to everyone.

I mention my last catch.

Sasha and I will take care of the deputy commander. Everyone stay out of this, okay?

When I hear each person's reply, I nod happily and put on a big smile.

Let the fun, fun, revenge drama (Walpurgis) begin!

The way I smile happily, Ellie and the others make a truly joyful and loving expression on their faces.

The preparations for welcoming Sasha and the others were complete.
