Chapter 59: So, This “Amazing 10-Draw Gacha” Is Truly Amazing…

…

“Um, Akito… Huh? Where’d he go?”

Long before Yuigahama had even bowed her head, still trying to figure out what to say, Himekoji Akito had already turned tail and run off with his tail between his legs.

It was obvious, right? Since even Totuska’s task was nicely wrapped up, only an idiot would stick around!

What, was he supposed to wait there for Miura to snap out of it and come chasing after him?

“That jerk!”

Yup, right on cue, the very next moment, Miura was already tearing around the entire Tennis Court like a crazy person, looking for him.

Why was she looking for him?

Well, it definitely wasn’t ’cause she missed him.

…

Himekoji Akiri got home and did one thing first. He took a bath and changed his clothes. He had to wash off all the bad luck.

After all, what he was about to do next was a sacred and solemn rite—

The Amazing 10-Draw Gacha!

He had to take this seriously!

You know the deal—if you get good stuff, reaching life’s peak overnight? How could that not be a dream?

He took a deep breath and sat up straight.

The Buddhist prayer beads blessed by monks, bought with a whole month’s pay from his writing work, were already on his wrist.

Scented candles for luck? He went way out of his way to get sixty-six. Not one was missing as they blazed away, filling the whole room.

His butt was firmly planted on the spot chosen for him too. A super positive Feng Shui spot the fortune-teller picked out. The place in the house with the most powerful vibes!

Everything was prepared. Every little thing was covered.

Today, he would be crowned as the Emperor of Luck!

“‘Amazing 10-Draw Gacha Free Participation Ticket,’ use it!”

[Ding!]

[Success!]

[New User Bonus Triggered!]

[All users using this feature for the first time: 1 A-quality item guaranteed in the first 10-Draw!]

[Good luck!]

An A-quality?

A best-selling light novel, a comic… or maybe a permanent skill?

Not bad at all!

Akito nodded in satisfaction. Hope rose inside him.

But you know, hope is called hope probably because it has nothing to do with reality.

…

[First Draw: Yukinoshita Yukino’s Indoor Shoes.]

Huh?

Akito froze for one second. Then, his eyelids blinked—looking a bit stupid.

“Um… Looks like the draw app has a bug or something?” Akito kindly gave the System a heads-up.

[Bug? Sorry, the System program doesn’t understand what the User is saying.]

[First Draw reward delivered. Please confirm.]

Plop.

One very familiar pair of Indoor Shoes dropped out of the air abruptly.

They landed perfectly slap-bang in Akito’s hands. He’d been desperately holding them out to catch the shoes.

This familiar size. This familiar neat-as-a-pin shoe lace tie-up. Even this familiar cozy warmness and the familiar smell…

No mistake. The very first reward from his 10-draw really was—

Indoor Shoes. Yukinoshita Yukino’s Indoor Shoes.

But hold on now, that ain’t right!

Rewards should make sense. Even if it wasn’t a skill, a novel, or a comic, it should at least be something 2D Points-level reasonable!

What in the world are Yukinoshita’s Indoor Shoes?!

This cheap junk you can find anywhere? How does this get to hog one whole draw slot?!

Come on! I’ve already got tons and tons of this stuff lying around the house!

Seven pairs, a solid SEVEN PAIRS!

Add today’s into the mix? That makes EIGHT shoes—a matching set!

Isn’t there that famous saying? The Eight Immortals cross the sea?

Did this pile of shoes plan to gather eight shoes and go cross the sea or something?!

What’s worse? I seriously bet even Yukinoshita herself doesn’t have as many Indoor Shoes for changes as what I’ve got lurking around my place by now!

Are you kidding me! This totally sucks!

But no matter how much Akito complained, how much he griped, the System didn’t care about one word.

Yeah. That’s reasonable. Isn’t it?

The draw kept rolling—

[Second Draw: Katou Megumi’s White Beret.]

Hmm… He really was being played for a fool, wasn’t he?

He looked dumbly at the hat in his hands that looked frighteningly familiar. At a loss for words for a long while.

He already had this hat too…

Just like the one he’d stuffed into his pants not long before…

Katou Megumi’s White Beret?

Katou Megumi… Katou Megumi…

With the stocks, and now this… So, what kind of big deal is this Katou Megumi person, anyway?

Our readers all only know Kato the Eagle, for crying out loud!

[Third Draw: Takanashi Rikka’s Eye Patch.]

Akito: “…”

Just… kill me…

Well, just kidding. Better to keep grumbling to let off steam…

Damn it!

What the heck were all these things you drew?

Can’t you give me something reliable for once?

So, with the anger of the “royal European” Master Himekoji, the next three draws—

Miura’s lip balm, Eriri’s drawing pen, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s black stockings…

???

Himekoji Akito was going crazy!

Hey, am I some kind of pervert with a crazy fetish hobby?

Why was everything girls’ daily stuff and all?

Enough! Stop it already!

Only this time, the System responded to him—

【Draw seven: Hayama’s underwear.】

Damn, it would have been better not to respond!

Or change it to Saika’s!

Himekoji Akito was totally desperate.

No, not yet! It was not the time for despair!

Wasn’t there still a guarantee?

Yes, there was an A-quality item guarantee!

Pull yourself together! Himekoji!

Just rely on the guarantee and turn things around nicely!

One lucky draw!

Thinking this, Himekoji Akito’s eyes lit up, and finally, by encouraging himself, he got back his spirit.

The eighth draw, Yukinoshita’s underwear…

Damn, why was Yukinoshita’s stuff drawn again?

Will this ever end?

If you’re really capable, just give me one each of Yukinoshita’s underwear, stockings, short skirt, blouse, and so on!

It could make a “Yukinoshita Set,” and maybe it would activate some big “set skills”!

Probably like—

“Cup size -99999” or something?

But the “Yukinoshita Set” did not appear.

The ninth draw was Reikadou Ayame’s false chest secret…

Hmm, another pointless thing.

I really don’t get it—when did secrets become ten-draw rewards?

Then isn’t this ten-draw too cheap? All junk stuff?

The tenth draw, also the last one.

An A-quality should come out now!

Himekoji waited eagerly, and in the face of harsh truth, he fully saw himself as the unlucky chief.

【Draw ten: Miura forcing a kiss on Himekoji.avi. Collector’s edition, HD no blur, sent to your email, check it.】

Toxic!

When the last draw ended, the hoped-for treasures weren’t seen at all.

Even with a good mood, Himekoji Akito couldn’t take such teasing; he couldn’t bear it and shouted out loud!

Damn, what was the point of this ten-draw? Was there one useful thing? And, where’s the promised guaranteed A?

No, cursed System, if you don’t explain, I won’t let it go!

【A-quality already out; it is the underwear from the eighth draw, Yukinoshita Yukino’s.】

??????

Himekoji Akito’s head was full of question marks.

What are you talking about? Did a donkey kick your brain? Yukinoshita Yukino’s underwear, you call that A-quality?

After wearing it, does defense +10000 or dodge rate +10000?

【Yukinoshita’s underwear, A-cup underwear.】

Himekoji: “…”

Lines of sweat covered his forehead; inside, it was like ten thousand angry goats running wild…

Ten-draws pulled out a heap of trash; Himekoji Akito meant to cry, but now, he unexpectedly found that even the System mocked Yukinoshita’s A-cup, so suddenly, he felt like laughing.

Ah, well, is this the so-called laughing when sad?

Hurt for myself…

【Ding!】

【Feel bad for the user.】

【Since the user’s luck is really terrible, now this big-hearted System kindly decides to give an extra draw chance, take it or not?】
