Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

Chapter 28 - Dog Beastkin Love the Number 100



Tomorrow is the day the business suspension ends.

The long march of hardships filled with disgrace finally comes to an end.

It’s time to return to a happy life full of glorious gold bars.

With the daily guard doggy at my side.
After finishing preparations for the shop’s reopening and returning to the guild house.

An odd combination caught my eye.

Elise chatting and laughing with Yohena while Tinya sat on her lap.

“Lumi, why did they become so close?”
“Myong…? I don’t know woof!”

I was worried they wouldn’t get along well since Tinya always criticized her as a “milk tank monster” and “woman with only big breasts”.

Moreover, Yohena is a saint.
Is it okay for a saint to become friends with a demon?

Anyway.

“Welcome back, Ark?”
“Is my shop okay!”
“Welcome back, Ark.”

Big, petite, and small ones.
Warmly welcoming the head of the household who returned from walking the dog.

This is healing…

I smiled contentedly.

Moreover, the guild house that was a complete mess, no, just a mess since Lumi and Tinya were mainly making it messy until noon.

Sparkle sparkle!
It was shining.

Now they clean everything without being told…
I feel like crying from emotion…

To respond to that effort.

“Today we’re having pork.”

I held up the bag containing pork I bought at the market.

“My my.”
“Master, the best! The best!”
“Woaaa…!”

…Kids.
Did you dislike orc meat that much?
This, despite appearances, is several times more expensive than orc meat…

Sizzle sizzle──

Although the number of people increased, cooking was still my responsibility.

Honestly, it’s a bit annoying.
But I feel like I should fulfill my duty as a cooking level 4.

Since it has a significant effect on the heroes’ performance, I couldn’t be lazy.

If we eat this now, it will be a great help for climbing the 11th floor tomorrow, so I bought pork on purpose with a firm resolve.

“Yahoo!”

…While blankly watching Tinya who immediately took the meat as soon as I put the grilled pork on the plate.

I made a firm decision to request Yohena to double the time for character education.

Sizzle sizzle──

While flipping the pork that started grilling again.

I drew plans for after the 11th floor in my head.

Floors 11 to 15 are the labyrinth section.

As if declaring that boring tutorials are completely banned.
It’s a section where the difficulty starts rising rapidly.

Befitting the name labyrinth.
What gets the worst reviews from users is path finding.

Because of the vicious structure where you have to wander around finding the path even when repeating farming if you don’t get 3-star clear.

The gallery would burn fiercely almost monthly, saying they’re grinding newbies.

Of course.
Those who have it get more.

The newbies’ whining posts would always be swept away by the downvote terrorism of the veterans.

When newbies who crawled up like that show reactions like ‘They say it’s fun after passing the labyrinth? Is it really fun?’

The gallery’s unwritten rule was to respond with ‘If you’ve come this far, you’re already having fun’.

“Ark? Is it still far?”
“…Take it.”

Ari too, it’s time for table manners education.
There’s no respect, no respect!

Tsk.

Sizzle sizzle──

Anyway.
Being an incarnated veteran doesn’t mean you know everything.

Even when I was raising my main account, or sub-accounts, I always had a walkthrough open next to me and just followed it.

Memorizing all those complicated paths with a human brain?

That’s nonsense.
It’s impossible unless given a perfect memory cheat.

So I was a bit worried.

“Ark? We’re out of meat.”
“…Even Yohena?”

Hero party.
This won’t do!

 

Since there’s a saying that even Lumi doesn’t bother you when eating.

After all the heroes finished their meal.

“Repeat after me. I respect the cook!”

“I’ll respect the cook!”
“I respect the cook nya!”
“I respect the cook…!”

“‘Nya’ is informal. …I won’t touch you if you just keep what you should. You know that, right?”

I gathered them and educated them in our world’s hero style.

I don’t make you sun-dry on weekends.
I do everything for you.

I even skip morning jogs.
Just me alone, no, now there will be one companion every day.

Anyway.
I did everything for you!

After finishing the time to rearm the heroes’ mindset like that.

“Dismissed, let’s sleep early today. Busy days await us again from tomorrow.”

I gave the dismissal order.

“Lumi?”

You, don’t tell me.

“Master! I’ll protect you woof!”

“Okay…”

I didn’t even have the energy to stop her anymore.

But the child is kind.
She’s the most gluttonous but never complained even once.

And because she’s the purest child.

Without any worries.

I should be able to sleep comfortably.

 

When Ark, who had fallen asleep before he knew it, was making deep breathing sounds while completely asleep.

Lumi, who had been purring with her eyes half-closed.
Carefully got up.

And after staring down at Ark’s sleeping face on the bed.

Lick.

She lightly licked Ark’s cheek.

“Mmm…”
“Myong…!”

Because something wet touched his cheek in his sleep, Ark sleep-talked.

Lumi’s ears stood up straight, startled by that sound, but.

“Mmm…”

Fortunately, it was just sleep-talking.
Lumi soothed her startled heart.

Marking.
Territory marking.

Coloring a liked male with her scent.
It was a traditional ritual of the dog beastkin tribe.

Of course.
Because Master was really, really fragile.
If Lumi hardened her heart just a little, she could woof woof grr kyaooo right now, but.

She had no intention of rushing the deed.

Traditionally.
Dog beastkin loved the number 100 very much.

They forgive minor mistakes up to 100 times.

They can eat their favorite food 100 times in a row.

And to declare something completely as their own──
There was a tradition of marking for 100 days.

Today was.
The 15th marking.

Moreover.

“Grrr…”

There was an uninvited guest.

“Oh my? Lumi? You weren’t sleeping?”

Elise woof.
The female who surrendered to Master today.
A female with ‘charm pouches’ slightly bigger than Lumi’s.

Lumi’s tail stood straight up.
Lumi and Elise’s eyes met and sparks flew.

“Can’t touch Master woof.”
“Reaaally… I’m sure that Master would like it too?”
“Grrr…”

It wasn’t wrong.

Lumi, with her highly developed sense of smell.

Sometimes.
There were times when an attractive scent wafted from Master’s lower body.

Lumi learned from Mama woof.
That’s the scent that comes out when a male wants a female but resolves it himself when he’s not mentally prepared.

But.

“Master is sleeping woof. Go away woof.”
“Okay, can’t be helped. I don’t want to fight with our cute Lumi.”

Lumi chased Elise away.
Only then did Lumi’s tail, which had been completely stiff, wag again.

Ari woof and Tinya woof are okay.
Those two haven’t had woof woof grr yet.

Yohena woof is suspicious these days.
She’s starting to woof woof grr little by little.

Saha woof and Elise woof…
They were dangerous.
It felt like they would woof woof grr kyaooo Master right away if I let my guard down even for a moment.

Of course, Master is a good person.
He deserves to embrace multiple females at the same time.
Lumi didn’t intend to be possessive either.

But because the current Master is not mentally prepared yet.
Lumi must protect him from being violated.

So.

Lumi will wait.
Until Master is mentally prepared.

Or──
Until she reaches 100 times.

 

“Then, Elise and Ms. Harong. Please take care of the shop until we return. Elise? Just follow the recipe I wrote down.”

“Take care! Ark!”
“This humble one will fulfill the duty my husband has ordered.”
“Grrr…!”

Lumi is strangely wary of Elise.
Is it because their big breast positions overlap?

Well, like with Tinya.
They’ll probably become close after bickering for a while.

Now our heroes have grown to respectable rank 4, average level 47.

If we had poured in even the ones for alcohol sales, we could have aimed for level 50, but.

We had to stop because Tinya and Ari threw so many tantrums.

Saha and Lumi drink really well.
Good kids.

Anyway.

The monsters get stronger too, but.

It’s a section where equipment starts to have options like skill cooldown, critical chance, etc. in earnest.

…The nightmare of endless retries to get criticals is coming back a bit, but.

It might be different for boss raids that open later.
The 11th floor is still the lower floors, so.

“Heroes, enter in order of readiness!”

“…?”

“…It means let’s go in.”

I collected five hooks.
Shouldn’t some kind of achievement window pop up with a ta-da at times like this?

 

[Tower of Wishes 11th Floor – Great Labyrinth Labyrinth Entrance Zone 1]
[★☆☆ : Escape the zone within 1 hour.]
[★★☆ : Escape the zone within 45 minutes.]
[★★★ : Escape the zone within 30 minutes.]

“…”

“We seem to be lost, right?”

“…Yes.”

Is this for real.

It’s too complicated even for being complicated.

I’m rather grateful that it gives 10 times more time than the original.

“There are too many dead ends…”

It’s exactly as Yohena said.

It’s a sticky spiderweb paradise everywhere.
To the point where I doubt if we’re going in the right direction.

Moreover, thanks to its high elasticity, it doesn’t break easily either.

There was no hero wielding a big and beautiful greatsword that could cut through spider webs.

Hmm.

The system doesn’t particularly distinguish between thrusting and slashing, but.
It’s a bit disappointing in this aspect not to have slashing attributes.

Isn’t there any way…

“It’s, hic, Tinya’s fault, hic, for finding the wrong path…”

“Stop, Tinya. Don’t cry. It’s not Tinya’s fault.”

“It’s not Tinya’s fault woof! Lumi couldn’t smell well either woof!”

We benefited greatly from Tinya’s virtue in breaking through Elise’s traps, but.
This time it seemed to have no effect at all, perhaps because it was composed of pure physical force rather than magical power.

At this point, I suspect we’re only finding the wrong paths…

Hmm…

Hmm.

“It might be worth trying.”

“Oh! Ark, did you come up with a good idea?”

At a fork in the road.

“Tinya. Left? Right?”
“Uu… Left?”
“Okay. Let’s go right.”
“Eeh…?”

“This time, up? Or down?”
“Down?”
“Let’s go up.”
“…Are you bullying Tinya now…?”

“Tinya.”
“…Left.”
“Let’s go.”

…Like that.
As a result of avoiding Tinya’s choices in the opposite way.

“Did we… arrive?”
“…Myong?”
“Hmm… We arrived…?”

We saw the exit.

“T-t-that… Tinya did it on purpose…!”

I patted Tinya’s head as she sobbed.

“I know. Tinya did nothing wrong.”

…You’re just a terrible sense of direction.
And you have the judgment of a strategist with 3 intelligence.

──I didn’t say that out loud.

It’s also a talent to only give wrong answers.

Labyrinth.
It might be unexpectedly easy?
