“Good morning, Owner.”
“…What is it, Kihara (Yukuerin)? What are you holding?”
“It’s today’s login bonus.”
It was morning at The Great Tree Building No. 3.
After being doted on by Nina, I woke up to find Kihara bringing something to my bedside.
“What is this?”
“First, an ‘Energy Drink,’ then a ‘Stamina Drink.’ Furthermore, a ‘Magic Stone Set’ and a ‘Free 10-pull Item Gacha Ticket’.”
Hmm, I feel like I’ve heard the term ‘login bonus’ somewhere before.
“Hmm, why am I receiving this?”
“Because you stayed overnight on this island.”
“Is that for anyone?”
“Yes, but not for summoned or Tamed Monsters.”
…I remember now. It was Mr. Iwamoto.
“Excuse me, Kihara, could you call Anju for me?”
“Yes, right away… I’ll use Nanna then.”
“Please do.”
While waiting,
I drank some water and chatted with Nina.
“It seems like if you keep someone around for a long time, you get something in the morning.”
“Ah, it looks like the magic stones can also be put directly into this tree as well.”
“So you’re saying we should live here?”
“It’s a good hunting ground too, so let’s have someone from the second string stationed here permanently.”
Or we could even rotate them!
If we’re going to have someone stationed permanently, maybe those two slave maid female heroes.
And then there’s also, if only that Young Master Hero would come here…
“Good morning, Studio!”
“Ah, good morning, Anju!”
“The old one, right?”
“??? ”
“Shiga-chaaaan!!”
She’s saying something strange again.
“Morning, Anju. Did you sleep well last night?”
“Yes, Boss, I played with MAINA.”
“Did you call her?”
“I went over!”
“Eh? Anju, where did you go?”
“Wood assembly apartment, subspace.”
You can go there!!
“Since when could you go?”
“Hmm, when was it? Quite a while ago.”
“Can I go too?”
“Since the Boss could go, it’s fine.”
“Nina!”
” …I didn’t tell you?”
When did that happen?
“Speaking of which, please call Mr. Iwamoto.”
“Come forth, old man whose false teeth fall out when he plays guitar with his teeth!!”
He arrived.
When I looked closely, he was coming out of a very narrow hole in subspace.
When returning, a more obvious entrance opens up, like a gate.
“Hello. This happened on a music program that was broadcast on a certain TV station in Akasaka.
There was a story about having a mini-game for an idol group that was at the peak of its popularity at the time, and giving them whips…”
“Iwamoto, is that story going to be long?”
“If written out, it would exceed 2000 characters.”
“Then it’s fine.”
“Sigh.”
I have a feeling it would be dangerous to hear the whole thing.
“Um, Mr. Iwamoto.”
“Yes, good morning, Lord Derus, and Lady Nina too.”
“Mhm.”
“About this ‘login bonus,’ do you have any idea?”
“Ah, how nostalgic! It’s based on something from an online game!”
“What about this ’10-pull Item Gacha’?”
“If you’re lucky, you might get convenient potions or Rare Magic Stones, and more!!”
So, Nina and I got out of bed and headed towards it to use the ‘Free 10-pull Item Gacha Ticket.’
I summoned it with the image of using it on the bed… but how do I use this?
“Mr. Iwamoto.”
“Just click it, and it should work.”
“In other words,”
“Pry at it a bit.”
“Ah, yes… It lit up!!”
And then it disappeared.
A hole from subspace appeared on the bed,
and magic stones dropped out, along with recovery potions. And then…
Thump!!
“Ah, what is this yellow sphere?”
“Oh, this is ‘Bakubakukun.’ It’s a rare item.”
“What happens when I use it?”
“It will hunt for you automatically for a whole day.”
It started rolling on its own when placed on the floor.
“Hmm, Iwamoto, does it attack by ramming?”
“No, it opens its mouth wide and swallows. It’s invincible.”
“Mr. Iwamoto, what’s its power source?”
“There isn’t one. It’s an item, after all.”
Anju is chasing it.
“Wait! You’re under arrest!”
“By the way, it automatically returns to its owner after 24 hours.”
“But if I defeat it, will I get EXP?”
“Lady Nina, the owner will receive it.”
“Eh? What about the items?”
“They go into its mouth, Lord Derus.”
Anju seems unharmed by being hit with a stick; it looks sturdy.
“What about its durability?”
“It’s invincible.”
“So it can defeat the Demon Lord too?”
“For Demon Lord-class enemies, their natural regeneration would overpower it.”
“So it’s best for weak enemies?”
“It’s also good for assisting in hunts, ideal for leaving it on overnight.”
Ah, Anju took it.
“Owner registration, what should I do?”
“If you click, you can choose from those currently present.”
“I’ll try… Here I go!”
“Anju, please use Nataira.”
“Roger!”
…The registration seems to be complete.
“So, what should I do with this?”
“Yes, Lady Nina, Lady Nataira can carry it herself and release it at your preferred hunting ground.”
“Can we do it on this island too?”
“Yes, it will automatically collect both EXP and items.”
I get EXP without doing anything? That’s amazing.
“Does this item disappear after a certain time?”
“As it’s a paid item, it should be fine.”
“Even though it’s a free 10-pull?”
“It’s to make those who don’t get anything buy gacha tickets. You were lucky to get it.”
“I see. Then let’s have Nataira carry it. It’s fine now.”
“Hah. By the way, the punchline to that story earlier was ‘a great disaster led to its shelving’.”
Then Anju opened the exit to subspace.
“Um, may I go too?”
“If Summoner Anju allows it.”
“Okay! I’m going too!”
“Then, Nina.”
“Ah, go ahead. I’ll take care of things in the meantime.”
So, I followed Mr. Iwamoto and entered subspace, where Otherworlders are said to live, along with Anju.
(I’ve only heard about it in stories, but what is the actual world like…???)
I’m a little excited.
