Hazure Skill “Gacha” de Tsuihou Sareta Ore wa, Wagamama Osananajimi wo Zetsuen Shi Kakusei Suru - Volume 2

We discussed having all the northern werewolves become our subordinates. Monsters fundamentally think under the principles of a meritocracy, so they place themselves under the strong.

Of course, we didn’t say a word about forcing them to become our allies and told them that each individual was free to move on their own, but all of them came along.

Well, I’m not sure what everyone thinks on the inside, but it seems a large portion of them were being controlled by fear of the werewolf king. In any case, I left the rest of their management to Orphe.

After we returned to the village and finished medical care for everyone, I gathered everyone in the village centre. Goblins, slimes, werewolves… all-in-all they totaled 200 members. I already finished naming all of the slimes. Finally, I named the slime queen.

“So ‘Sufi’, is that alright?”

“Yes, Sufi please.” …Of course, I essentially had all of the monsters come up with their own names. I mean it would be a huge task to come up with names for everyone. I can’t think of that many names one after the other.

“Well then, from today onwards you are now Sufi.” I gave her a name. After that, I checked Sufi’s status.

…Her stats were pretty high. I was only really curious about her particularly low intelligence.

“What’s the matter?”

“…No, it’s nothing.” Well, her intelligence is at the very least enough that she can understand our words. I probably don’t need to worry about it much. She hasn’t acted in a way so far that would particularly mark her as an idiot from what I can tell.

There’s probably something that the status is missing. While I pondered that, I raised the cup I was holding.

“This is a new beginning for our village! Let’s have a big party!” For our victory, as well as to welcome our new comrades. A party to celebrate all of that commenced.

…Well, there were some merry people outside, but I returned to my room to think about some things. While I laid down on my bed, I pulled a magic stone out of my pouch. It was the one the lower world manager Leon brough with him had.

…A lot happened after that, so I’d yet to have a chance to take a close look at it. When I was about to appraise it, there was a knock at the door.

“Yes, lord Crest. I’m here.” Livia closed the door behind her and came in. …Perhaps she’s here to sleep together again tonight. Livia didn’t mind it much but sleeping with her hugging me every night is troublesome in various ways.

I got up and Livia bowed to me apologetically. “…Had you already settled in to sleep?”

“No not yet. I was going to think about some things first. So, I won’t be going to bed yet if that’s alright?”

“Yes.”

“Alright.” Livia sat down next to me.

“So then… is that magic stone one of the ones the norther werewolves were using.”

“Yeah.”

“…I thought all of them were already gone though.” We heard from the northern werewolves that they used up all their magic stones in that battle.

“This is one that my older brother brought with him.”

“Your elder brother held that one?”

“Yeah. Before anyway. We’re not family anymore or anything. …Remember hearing about that human to the south? That was my brother, and he used one of these to turn into a monster.”

“…So, then it’s a dangerous item for humans to use then?” In order to confirm that I used appraisal on it.

…There’s nothing particularly listed about monster transformation.

“…It might be just as you say Livia. Without asking the creator, or actually testing it out we have no way of knowing.”

“…I see. Is that right. The werewolves who used them didn’t seem to become strange either right?”

“Right. That’s why there’s also the chance that the vampires who probably made them also made them purely for the purpose of body strengthening.”

“…So then you’re saying there’s a chance we’ll see these stones used in future battles for body strengthening as well then?”

“…I guess so. It’s questionable as to whether or not the northern monsters will invade this far though.”

“They should be coming.” Asserted Livia firmly. …That’s unusual. I thought, but then I figured something may have confirmed that to her.

“…Do you know something?”

“It’s something my mother told me. …That one day our world would be wrapped up in a massive calamity.”

“…A calamity huh?” …Speaking of which, Leon said something about that. Something about my skill being meant to save the world from a crisis… Also, Ellis and Minue have similar skills.

“Yes. In order to face this large calamity, we must unite everyone’s power.”

“…So, monsters are fighting and gathering more comrades?”

“That’s right. Of course, there are some individuals out there fighting to protect themselves too. That’s why the mindset to position themselves under those stronger than them has become natural.”

…I guess everyone had a proper reason for it, rather than just their wild lifestyle.

Really though, a large calamity huh.

I’m pretty sure Ellis was… something like a saintess? And Minue had a skill called hero…

Of course, in a different meaning than with me… they should be amazing skills. When Ellis prays, people’s wounds instantly heal, and Minue should be able to cut the earth and sky with a swing of her sword.

Gacha’s certainly convenient, but that’s it. However, let’s suppose God meant to for the three of us to cooperate to save the world and split our power us.

Ellis heals people, Minue takes care of enemies. Then I take care of what’s left.

Supposing that’s the case, then that means there’s likely still time before the calamity begins.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten this gacha that rotates out on a monthly basis. …Well, God does have their scatterbrain moments too. They forgot to mention the part of my power regarding points after all. Or they may have done that on purpose so I would be sent to the lower world; Well, thinking more about it probably won’t do me anything.

“In that case, we don’t know what will happen if we don’t unite everyone’s power in the lower world.”

“…Yes. And I think the one meant to become the king over the lower world is you, lord Crest.” Livia looked at me with her face dyed red.
