Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Swoosh──

Falling leaves in autumn wind. An unstoppable force.
The power of brand new Ari was truly formidable.

“Master, I’m bored woof…”

“Lumi, fetch!”

“Bark!”

To the extent that Lumi could leave the front line and leisurely play catch with me.

The reason why Ari receives high evaluations despite being born a 3-star.

Basic skill? Strong with area damage.
Ultimate skill unlocked at 3rd rank? Just strong as a single-target skill.

But her true value lay in her enhancement skill.

[Enhancement Skill: Wind Spirit (LV.1)]
[Summons a wind spirit where the arrow hits, pulling monsters towards its center. Affected enemies take 200% of attack power as damage.]
[Cooldown: 12 seconds]

An overpowered grouping skill that even 5-star characters rarely have.

Pull!

Moreover, since the range is quite wide, in the original game a whole wave would be neatly cleared every time the special attack triggered.

“Kuoh!”
“Kurrrr!”
“Kuguk!”

Its power was faithfully implemented here as well.

Of course, since the multiplier was on the low side, it would later degrade to just a grouping shuttle.

If I wasn’t a shop owner but the Revealer.
If I was a newbie with poor game understanding.
From this section onwards, I would already be struggling hard with a 5-person party, writhing from lack of experience potions…

Satisfaction welled up.

Now if the blacksmith starts running properly, the equipment farming problem will be solved too.
And if the tentatively named ‘EXP Cocktail’ sells well, I can completely empty the heroes’ pockets.

Everything’s going smoothly!
Keep going, Ark!

Nice job, Ark!

My perfect plan led to perfect success.

“Cheers!”
“Is this drugs? Why is it so delicious?”
“One more cocktail here!”
“And wild boar skewers too!”

Business is going well, too well.
As expected, I’m a genius.

There was a reason I was incarnated as a shop owner.
Could it be that God recognized my talent?

“Achoo, cough cough…!”

Ah shit, it’s spicy.

When a drop of oil from the wild boar meat being grilled to great acclaim fell onto the hearth, the thick smoke tormented my nose.

Sparks flew too… My skin stings a bit.

“Ark, is it ready yet?”

“Yes, coming right up!”

I double-checked the properly cooked wild boar skewers with the status window and plated them.

Then.

“Woof!”

Lumi took over and delivered them to the customers.

Let’s see, there were cocktails too, right?

I rushed to the counter, poured into the shaker according to the exquisite ratio, and shake shake!

“Ooh…!”
“So cool!”

The heroes sitting at the counter applauded me, and I responded with even more vigorous shaking.

And pour pour.
Pouring into glasses according to the exact amount.

“Um, I came to sell items…”

“Ah, yes! Let’s see, Slime Essence, that’s quite rare? 100 gold. Since you’re here, how about having a drink?”

“There’s a line outside… Is that okay?”

“You brought such a precious item, we should serve you. Ari! Put a wooden chair here!”

I handled one concern.

“One more wild boar skewer here!”

“Yes! I’ll make it right away!”

……
Business is going well, too well.

I took a moment to catch my breath and looked at my business partners.

“Doesn’t it taste good? Kyahaha, come visit often. I’ll give you service too!”

Ari in the role of madame.

Originally, I was going to push her into the kitchen, but Ari was a goddess of creation who could turn wild boar meat into charcoal.

The one useful thing was that she was exerting her insider power, holding a talking bar with the people at the counter and chatting away very freely.

And.

“Woof!”

“Yay yay, I’m going to cook.”

Lumi as server and mascot.

The fatal cuteness emitted by the dog beastkin seemed to work directly on other heroes too.
She made everyone laugh as she struggled with heroes clinging to her, asking to touch her ears just once.

As for Yohena.

“Don’t worry. The butterfly will return soon.”
“Really…? That’s a relief…!”

She was exercising her power as a saint, counseling the trivial worries of the neighborhood heroes.

I just accepted it. Everyone has a role that suits them.

Then what about me?

Cook. I grill wild boar skewers.
Bartender. I mix cocktails.
Cleaner. I clean the tables.
Cashier. I collect payments accurately without a penny’s error.
Shop seller. My original job.

……
I felt like something was going wrong.

But the fact is that my wallet.
No, my gold coin chest is getting healthier.

That alone is enough.

“Good work today too, Commander!”

“Yes. You worked hard too, Riley.”

They say that since the Revealer started climbing the tower, the monsters pouring out of the tower have decreased exponentially.

But perhaps due to the lingering effects of distorted space, monsters were still sporadically popping up around the city.

The Celestia Knight Order was formed to prevent problems that could arise from this.

It took its name directly from the city’s name and was a group officially certified by the sanctuary.

“I’m tired.”

Saha, who had finished today’s patrol, stretched and prepared to go home.

It was a day when she found it particularly hard to concentrate.

If she had to pick a reason, it would undoubtedly be one thing.

The fateful encounter this morning.

That moment which gave her an intense fateful tremor as if she had met an angel descending from heaven.

Golden hair as if it had absorbed the sunlight that had just risen to brilliantly illuminate the earth.
Features that could only be described as close to perfection no matter which part you looked at, be it eyes, nose, or mouth.

And especially the mouth and nape.
That Adam’s apple vibrating with panting breaths and the white breath leaking from those parted lips, despite running at a slow pace.

The very epitome of a man you want to protect!
The number one marriage candidate in the City of Flames!

She was so taken aback by the appearance that hit her preferences so perfectly that she couldn’t even greet him at first.

Only after he had passed by and gone far away.

“Commander, do you know him? He’s so handsome…”
“A fiancé? Is he your fiancé? Right? Kyaa!”

No, no.
…It’s a man I’m seeing for the first time today.

And then a question suddenly occurred to her.

How did that man know my name?
And although extremely subtle, the feeling of being intertwined by threads of fate. Like when I first met the Revealer…

“No, it can’t be.”

Saha shook her head, coming out of her reverie.

The Revealer hadn’t shown his face for days since their first meeting, so he was probably still struggling inside the tower.

Notices related to tower conquest were continuing to ring out intermittently after all.

Then who was that man?
How could he know my face and name when I’ve never seen him before?

As Saha was returning to her mansion with her mind full of unsolved questions, she suddenly heard noisy sounds.

Listening carefully, it seemed to be the voices of women, presumably heroes, laughing and chattering.

It felt similar to when they occasionally went to the Meeting Tavern for company dinners.

“At this time, here…?”

But.
This was far from the Meeting Tavern.
As far as Saha knew, there was nothing ‘fun’ around here.

Curiosity aroused, Saha moved towards the source of the sound.

And what entered her eyes was.

Ark’s General Store.
A place she had never visited before.

The place run by that strange shop owner wearing a hood who was with the saint recently.

From a place that had been wrapped in quiet silence until recently.
Boisterous laughter was now ringing out.

What is this?
What’s happening?

In the end, Saha entered the general store as if drawn in.
Of course, entering in armor would draw attention── so she temporarily put aside the hero’s blessing.

“Welcome woof! Come this way woof!”

As soon as she entered.
A cute dog beastkin dragged her arm and guided her to a table.

After sitting down in a daze.
As she surveyed the entire shop──

She saw it.
The figure of the shop owner doing absolutely ‘everything’.

A man who was constantly wielding cooking utensils with arms so thin you’d worry if they could even hold a sword, heating oil and grilling skewers.

The sight of him flying over as soon as a table emptied and wiping it clean with those thin arms.

Moreover.
The sight of him showing off those slender arms without even a hint of muscle while shaking unknown liquids in strange containers.

Truly.
While watching the figure of a man who met all the conditions of an ‘ideal man’ to the point where she wanted to kidnap him for marriage.

Gulp.

Saha swallowed unconsciously.

“Yes, coming!”

Although his voice seemed somewhat distorted, perhaps due to some perception-hindering magic cast on the hood he was wearing.

Rather, that added more mysteriousness.

What kind of face is under that hood?
No way… No, it couldn’t be that man…

Laughing once at the thought that such coincidences don’t exist in this world.

“Excuse me, could I have one of those cocktails or whatever here too?”

“Woof!”

Drawn in by some cheerfulness emanating from the place itself.
Saha, who normally didn’t even touch alcohol, ordered a drink.

Manly wok tossing.
Manly shaking.
And manly cleaning too.

For the first two hours or so, I thought I was going to die from exhaustion.
But as they say, humans are animals of adaptation, now it was starting to feel manageable.

By the way, an unexpected point was that there were a lot of 3-star heroes I’d never seen before.

Like that friend over there who awkwardly resembles Saha.

The basic character design of green hair and red eyes is the same.
But Saha has a ponytail while that hero just has her hair down.

Moreover, wow, breasts.
Lumi-level, wow.

My Saha doesn’t have breasts that big. At most small breasts?
Well, you can estimate just by looking at the breastplate size.
Full plate armor doesn’t lie.

Anyway.

Shake shake──
Jingle jingle──

“Wow!”

The first work of our blacksmith was.
Not equipment, but this shaker.

And its performance was quite good.
Showmanship-wise too.

Then what is our blacksmith, Harong, doing?

“Phooo──”

“Wow, shit, that’s crazy!”
“Harong-ssi, isn’t that hot?”
“Fire is coming out of a person’s mouth!”

She was putting on a fire show to great acclaim.

Diligently hammering away while sipping alcohol befitting the second biggest drunkard.

And when she gets caught up in her own excitement, even fan service.

Anyway, she was providing a spectacle rivaling my shaking.

This is teamwork.
It could be said to be hard work itself.

“One more!”

…Or.
Maybe I’m the only one having a hard time…?

Anyway, looking at the sales so far.
At least if we keep going like this, we can worry a bit less about money.

From tomorrow, I should focus a bit more on conquering the tower.
