Volume 3 - CH 1

Several days passed since the battle against the northern werewolves. In the meantime, there were various problems regarding the three tribes of goblins, werewolves, and slimes being in the village.

The scale of things had gotten pretty big. There were some small quarrels, but life was getting pretty smooth for everyone now.

It’s not as if I’ve done nothing for these past few days. Little by little I’ve acted as the chief of the three tribes, expanding our base and strengthening my comrades. I gave the new slimes and werewolves places to live and trained them in an effort to fulfil the conditions for them to evolve.

Like that, the end of may was soon approaching. I opened the gacha skill screen and checked the number of days left.

In only two more days this gacha will end. If things continue this way, the June gacha should come next. What sort of skill will I be getting? I could only look forward to seeing it.

Oh right, there were some new monsters around the northern werewolves’ base. Thanks to subjugating those, my current points totaled 10,000. Now I can make twenty two gacha rolls.

Normally it would be good to save them up, but I’ve yet to max out the level on my monster taming skill. I’d like to max it out, but it’s a difficult problem.

Should I roll the gacha now, or should I save my points up?

Will the summoner gacha ever come again? There’s a chance it never will.

But a new gacha could be more likely to strengthen me directly. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I can almost certainly gain new skills by rolling the gacha after all.

I know there are more monsters to the north based on what the norther werewolves have told me. Even now I know there are vampiric type beings as well. Knowing I may come into conflict with them later, I was currently feeling that it would be better to focus on building up my strength.

Now then, what should I do. As I pondered this, Livia who had come into my room tilted her head.

“So what will you be doing them, lord Crest?”

“I’m still conflicted as to whether I should roll the gacha or not.”

“The gacha? Isn’t it better to roll it?” Said Livia, staring at me blankly. Oh right, I haven’t told her anything about how the gacha resets. When I went over that with her, Livia’s brow creased as she made a difficult expression. “That certainly is a hard problem. How much can you feel the effects of monster taming?”

“That’s still hard to tell. There’s a chance that raising the skill level would make everyone stronger.” When I tried using it I didn’t get a feeling that it was either strong or weak. The fact that I can’t see it’s effects with my eyes is exactly why it’s a difficult question. There’s a chance it might have its effects increase drastically if I raise it to its max level.

If we have more disputes against monsters from now on, then my own personal strength won’t be enough to deal with them. With that in mind, it would be best to do as much as I can to combat that issue.

“…I guess I’ll do some rolls.” That was the eventual conclusion to my worries. I thought about it earlier, but right now it seems that new gachas come out in a frequency of one per month. However I don’t know when the gacha itself will end.

There’s a chance leaving any points over will turn out to be useless. In that case I’d better raise my skill levels as much as I can.

I’m afraid of getting overlaps, and I think I may end up getting more bronze silver and gold skills, but more than that I have a skill I definitely want to aim for.

“In that case, I’ll leave the room.” Livia got up from the bed with an apologetic expression on her face. Looks like she was still bothered about that. How If I roll the gacha with her, nothing good will come out. That was because there really wasn’t a lot of outcomes that weren’t bad by this point, so it can’t be helped.

I grabbed Livia by the arm before she could leave the room. Although her arm was thin, I knew that she was by no means weak.

“No, you’re fine here.”

“B, but… I get the feeling that the gacha won’t give you anything good if I’m here.” I shook my head at Livia as she looked down to the floor sadly.

“That’s not the case. It was just a coincidence. More than that, I want to be with you as much as possible, Livia.”

“I, I understand. In that case I’ll pray for something good to come out.” Livia seemed a bit embarrassed as I gave her a smile. It’s embarrassing, but I love her. It’s comforting just having her there with me.

“Well then, let’s go ahead and roll the gacha.”

“Yes. Give it your all!” With Livia’s wholehearted words of encouragement, I turned to the gacha window. I shakily raised my arm so Livia could see it from next to me. It’s not as if firing myself up will change any of the results from the gacha.

You probably understand, right God? Livia’s franticly praying so adorably for you. If nothing good comes out, I’m going to be incredibly pissed off at you. With that threat to God inside me, I pushed the eleven-roll gacha.
