“Hey, I know you’re hiding there, so why don’t you come out already? Just so you know, I won’t show any mercy to whoever attacks me. I’ll assume those who don’t come out to be hostile, so I’m giving you a warning in advance.”
As I said that, about two-thirds of the people brought by Charlotte emerged from behind the objects and hedges.
“Well then, if you’re still hiding, I’ll consider you hostile towards me.”
“Don’t mess with me, brat!! There’s no way a damn brat like you can defeat Lady Charlotte! What kind of trickery did you pull off!? Wind magic, level 3 [Kamaitachi]!”
Just as I was about to pressure those who didn’t come out, someone hiding behind a tree must have been chanting while concealed.
The moment they showed up, they unleashed wind magic, level 3 [Kamaitachi].
Honestly, I had planned to restrain them with binding magic for about three days, rendering them unable to move, and only providing them with water before letting them go—of course, I intended to make them clean up if they had any accidents during that time—. However, if they were going to attack, the situation would be different.
Moreover, it was already hopeless for them to think they could somehow succeed by attacking me with such gentle breeze-like magic, considering I had easily defeated Charlotte without doing anything.
Thus, I took out the Demon Blade, Doujigiri Yasutsuna, from my storage. It could slash through magic and absorb magic power from the slashed magic. I severed all the attacks from the [Kamaitachi] that my opponent unleashed, absorbed its magic, and then launched a slashing attack using the absorbed power.
“Agh!?”
This demonic blade, Doujigiri Yasutsuna, boasted considerable strength against magic, and in the game, it had the highest rarity rating of ten stars at that time. Looking back, I have fond memories of spending around 120,000 yen to obtain this Doujigiri Yasutsuna.
[EDN: $828 USD wtf.]
Back then, I thought I would stop at around 30,000 yen since it was a pick-up item, but I never expected to go all the way to pity. As it surpassed 60,000 yen, I started feeling uneasy, and I couldn’t stop after that, going past 100,000 yen. At that point, I felt like I was about to throw up from the stress, but acquiring Doujigiri Yasutsuna meant it wasn’t a complete loss, even if I had gotten pity.
[EDN: For the uninformed, the pity system in a gacha is where you get a confirmed pull after reaching a certain number of attempts and not getting anything.]
“What does ‘pick-up’ mean?” That thought did cross my mind for a moment. However, nowhere did it state you would get the item for a certain amount of money. It only mentioned that the probability of obtaining the desired item or character would increase.
