I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Big Settlement!

◆ Demon God’s Hall – Guild Room [Lobby] ◆

Instead of punishing Lia-chan, who really did nothing wrong, I decided to discipline the truly naughty Laura-chan, who frequently messes up and has no intention of restraining her cold jokes. After collecting that rainbow-framed ingredient, I sent Pers-chan a personal message:

“I want to punish Laura-chan, so let’s go back quickly.”

Pers-chan responded with an extremely wicked full grin, so we returned to the guild room at top speed. And the first thing I did was—yes, the Avatar Gacha.

“Selected the Paid Content Tab. [Female Avatar Gacha] was chosen.”

“[Female Avatar Gacha] received 5 [Avatar Gacha Tickets].”

I suddenly remembered I had some gacha tickets given to me by a Donta fan, so I used them right away. I did! Yes, indeed!!! So, I thought I’d dress Laura-chan in some cute clothes as punishment if anything fitting came out. And it did. Oh, it really did! The administration knows, right? They understand Laura-chan needs to be punished! Well, it was probably just luck that it happened, though!

When I shared the result and item information with Pers-chan, she gave me a full-on thumbs up (compared to her usual smile), so I decided to make Laura-chan wear it. Right to refuse? Don’t think you have one.

“Laura-chan.”

“Nooo, I don’t want to…!!”

“Laura-chan.”

“Nooo, I really don’t want to…!!!!”

“No. Guilty.”

“Laura-san, unfortunately, it’s a fair judgment!”

“That joke at that moment, guilty, no doubt.”

“(；´∀｀)”

“Laura, that was no good, indeed…!”

“It was almost deserving of the death penalty depending on the situation!”

“Hiii~~~!? No one’s on my side~~~…!!”

“It’s time to settle everything up till now, Laura-chan. Guilty. Wear this.”

“Nooo wayyyy~~~!!! Ah!?”

“I have the ability to force you to wear it!!! From today, this is Laura-chan’s outfit!!!”

“Nooooooooo~~~………!!!!!”

Hehehe…! It suits you perfectly…! Hmm… 100 out of 100 points!!!

By the way, here’s what I got from the gacha!!

“[Black Feathered Headdress] has been won.”

“[Carrot Earrings] has been won.”

“[★Scandalous Maid Set] has been won!! Congratulations!!”

“[Black Thigh-High Socks] have been won.”

“[Black Alice Shoes] have been won.”

“Thank you for your patronage.”

Except for the carrot earrings, I equipped everything on her! I never thought I’d get a hidden avatar, and not just a French maid but a Scandalous Maid, which has an almost identical name but is even more revealing! Hehehe…! How do you like that, Laura-chan! Feel the power of the master’s right to force an equipment change!!! Pay for all those awful jokes in one go!!

“Oh my, how cute!”

“It looks good…”

“I can’t get married like this!!!”

“Give up and wear it! Besides, it suits you, right? It’s cute!”

“Wow, Laura-san, you’re amazing, I mean, in various ways…! I hope I can—”

“Lia-chan, you’re fine as you are.”

“Eek…!?”

“Oh~… This is good, very good. How about it? Shall we form a ‘Shameful Outfit Alliance’?”

“Let’s do it…!!”

“(´∀｀)”

“Don’t look at me!!!!”

“(○　　|￣|＿)”

Ah… Poor Oniichan. Laura-chan’s full-swing with the lyre just blew his head off…! His head getting blown off whenever something happens is becoming a tradition for Oniichan…! And what’s more, it always goes flying so cleanly…

“Well then, why don’t you all take a break in the cafeteria? Laura-chan, you go like that, of course.”

“Come on, let’s go, hurry up!”

“Nooo, aaaaahhhhh~~~~!!!”

“Come on now~ you’re actually happy to wear such cute clothes, right? Laura-san, right!!”

“No, no I’m nooooot!!!”

“It’s okay! We’re used to it, so Laura-dono will get used to it too! Next time, Tornado should wear cute clothes too!”

“Oh no, I’m good!? I’ll pass! Wearing something this cute would kill me!!”

“Cute, isn’t it, Pers-chan!”

“It’s a sight for sore eyes!!!”

“Right~”

So, we decided to let everyone take a break in the cafeteria while Laura-chan, with her eyes all spinning, was with us. We have to wait until we can revive Donta, after all. Actually, I once secretly met with the undertaker Misha-san and the necromancer Reza-san, the NPCs from the necromancer faction. They seem willing to revive beasts for Beast Tamer types, but they gently said, ‘Both sides handle their own undead… okay…?’ In other words, revive your own undead. If I relied on Babylon-chan, she might revive him, but since it’s not an emergency, I shouldn’t trouble her. It’s not good to take advantage of her kindness too much.

So, I have to find something to kill the remaining 40 minutes until I recover from the NP break. I thought I might make some cursed items, but I can’t do that during NP break either. I was planning to use the four True Slayer and True Annihilator corpses (Killer Whale and Slaughterer Whale, I call them) in the morgue, but no luck.

“Well then, Pers-chan, let’s go to that room and have some alone time—”

“Alone time to do what exactly!!!!!!???????”

“For, for appraisal or something… too close, too close.”

“Appraisal…? Oh, appraisal! Yes, let’s do that! Let’s appraise! Just the two of us!”

Pers-chan, you’re a little too excited, aren’t you? Sure, Laura-chan’s maid outfit is cute, but you’re getting way too worked up. Your eyes are spinning with excitement too, Pers-chan.

“(∩´∀｀)∩”

“Huh!? Oniichan, you’re still here?”

“Up?! You’re going to see Lady Babylon?!”

Oh, so Oniichan is still here. Oh, he was looking for his head that flew off… Poor guy… And up? He’s pointing upwards, so he’s going to Babylon-chan’s place.

“( ´ ▽ ` )ノ”

“Okay. Be sure not to make any mistakes, alright?”

“So now, we’re really alone, aren’t we…!?”

He’s gone. Oniichan going to Babylon-chan’s place alone is really unusual, right? He usually either plays at being furniture or sits quietly in a corner enjoying watching everyone. What’s going on…? Is it because he became the Demonic Soldier and needs to greet her? I hope he doesn’t make any mistakes and upset her… Will he be alright?

“Let’s head to the usual Room 3.”

“The usual…! The usual, the usual…!”

“Hey~? How long are you going to stay excited?”

“Well, you see, just now!! Acchan looked into my face and said ‘Hey~’! I could have endured it if it was through the veil…!!!”

“A veil…? Huh? Oh!? It’s gone!? Since when has it been gone!?”

Huh, huh!? The veil, the veil is gone!? Search the past logs… ‘veil’… It’s true!! It says the loan period has ended!!!

“You hadn’t noticed!? When the Demon God’s Hall was established, and you fainted after greeting Lady Babylon, it was swapped then!? So I thought I’d use this instead!”

“I-I had my face seen by so many people…!?”

“I just wanted to show off my cute, cute Acchan!!!”

“…Next time, I’ll pull from the avatar gacha and get you a cute outfit too, Pers-chan.”

“Eeeeek!? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any harm!?”

After all, it was Pers-chan’s avatar originally, right? Yes, yes. Pers-chan isn’t to blame. But she is, actually. So next time, Pers-chan will wear a cute avatar too. Pers-chan may have lots of avatars, but it matters that she wears the one I draw. I’ll do a bit of gacha next time, so be ready for it. Pers-chan…!

◆ Usual [Room 3] ◆
Now, let’s get back on track. It’s time for the results announcement! By the way, I have something to report. It turns out I can access Big sis’s treasury from my item inventory! I already sent a mental message to Big sis saying—

“I’ll take out what we just picked up.”

And she replied—

“Sure thing!”

So, everything is already laid out on the table in Room 3!

“This sight always makes my heart race!”

“Thanks to Big sis’s treasury, we’ve gathered so much!”

“82 items!”

“You counted them for me, thank you~”

“Ack!! My face…!!!”

“Come on, pull yourself together, will you?”

“Huff…! Well, let’s start with the less exciting ones!”

This time, we have 82 items, which Pers-chan counted for us. She makes a dying sound every time I thank her and look into her face, which is so funny… Since I love Pers-chan so much, looking into her face does a lot of damage to me, too. If we ever had a staring contest, both of us might end up dead, unable to decide a winner. Oh, the appraisal is starting.

“[? Sword] was a [Longsword].”

“[? Spear] was a [Broken Fork].”

“[? Sword] was an [Aqua Shortsword].”

Oh, it’s a unique piece of equipment. A water-attribute one-handed sword! For equipment like this, which nobody can use, Pers-chan usually sells it through the official auction feature accessible in the city interface. If it sells, she handles the settlement and later distributes the money. Initially, it was a 50-50 split, or when we went with Rena-chan, it was 3:3:3 with 10% going to the guild. But in the end, considering the effort Pers-chan puts into the registration and pricing, we decided to give Pers-chan an extra 10-20% share. Registering and setting prices takes more time than you’d think.

“[? Instrument] was a [Violin with Broken Strings].”

“[? Dagger] was a [Knife].”

“[? Shoes] were [Sandals with Holes].”

“[? Bow] was a [Composite Bow].”

“[? Blunt Weapon] was a [Rusty Hammer].”

“[? Sword] was a [Copper Raccoon].”

Here comes a joke weapon… It’s not a Dōtanuki (Japanese Sword) but a Copper Tanuki (Raccoon in Japanese)… The description says that when sheathed, it makes a ‘pon’ sound like a tanuki belly drum. Hmm, hmmmm…!!! Chiyo-chan would probably get really mad at this sword…

“[? Dagger] was a [Kitchen Knife].”

“[? Spear] was a [Harpoon].”

“[? Hat] was a [Straw Hat with Shells].”

“[? Bracelet] was a [Gold Bracelet].”

“[? Axe] was a [Blunted Battle Axe].”

“[? Ring] was a [Gold Ring]——”

……

……

……

Yeah, that’s right. Except for the Slaughterer Whale, there haven’t been any treasure chests above gold. At best, they were silver… The ones omitted from display, like [Pouch of Gold Coins] or [Pouch of Cursed Coins], were even more exciting compared to this lineup. Let’s be honest, it’s disappointing… No legendary items…

“The Killer Whale is over too…”

“No way…”

“Everything, it’s just, junk…”

“No way…?”

Finally, the Killer Whaler’s appraisal is complete. Sadly, this is the reality… Maybe this is what’s normal… Or perhaps, was there someone exceptionally unlucky this time? There might have been. Considering there were also lucky people like Oniichan, it balances out… let’s stay positive…

“Now, for the Slaughterer and the drops from the boss area…”

“Alright, I’m prepared.”

“Here we go…!”

“[? Sword] was a [Large Rusted Sword].”

“This is definitely a fake of the Large Red Whale Sword.”

“I think so too…”

Damn you, joke weapons, damn you, joke weapons…!!!

“[? Clothing] was a [Prison Uniform].”

“[? Shoes] were [Broken Leg Irons with Ball].”

“[? Clothing] was a [Chafing Shirt].”

“I absolutely won’t forgive this.”

“The only decent thing it dropped was the [Proof of the Conqueror]!!!”

“And there are four [Proof of the Conqueror] in total…”

“Acchan will probably use this a lot, right? I already have mine, so as long as I get the ones to sell!”

“Yeah, thanks… What about the Conqueror’s…?”

“Depends on the rainbow frame after this! I seem to have ended up somewhat parasitic on Acchan.”

“Remember you’ll get wiped without Pers-chan’s Aegis? You know the phrase ‘mutually beneficial,’ right?”

“Eek, eek, your face… so close…!”

“Is it good? Want it? Take it.”

“Yes…”

Alright, I’ll push various equipment onto Pers-chan with this… But seriously, this time, all the equipment with silly names, and hardly any Legendaries… Now, it’s just the contents of the boss area’s treasure chest…

“Alright, onto the boss area.”

“Yes, indeed! Looking forward to this~!! Here we go!”

“[? Axe] was a [Firewood-splitting Axe].”

“[? Sword (Rainbow)] was a [★★ Zantetsu Sword]!! Congratulations!!”

Zantetsu Sword!? Oh, wow!! It may have a knockoff-sounding name, but this one’s seriously strong!!

[★★ Zantetsu Sword] (Top Quality・Mystic・Great Sword・No empty slots)

When Enhancement Value is +7 or higher, Slash attribute attack power +50% against opponents wearing metal equipment.

When Enhancement Value is +10 or higher, additional Slash attribute attack power +50% against opponents wearing metal equipment.

When Enhancement Value is +12 or higher, complete ignore Slash attribute resistance against opponents wearing metal equipment.

Basic attack power addition 0%+0%

Forced vulnerability against opponents wearing metal equipment

・Forced vulnerability against mechanical monsters.

… Once again, something boring… Sorry-For-Cutting-You-Down, by the Great Swordmaster of Gold.

Enhanceable・Equipment Registration: [–]・Weight: 1.5kg

It’s strong, but it’s dependent on enhancements, and requiring +12 is just insane… Have you heard how ridiculously difficult it is to achieve that?! And to do it mystically… It’s not something you can just casually use.

“If Baldy gets his hands on it, he might do it…”

“Ugh…!?”

“He’s a demon when it comes to enhancing equipment. If he buys it, he’ll probably do it.”

“R-Really…!? Ahhh…!”

If it ends up in Baldy’s hands, it might just meet its potential at +12… Scary… so scary!!

“Next up!”

“Yeah, next… Next is probably the parts box.”

“Ahh…”

“Well, let’s not get discouraged…”

“[? Book (Rainbow)] was a [★★ AI Unit Creation Manual]! Congratulations!”

“[? Parts] were [Weapon Maker].”

“[? Parts] were [Mail Maker].”

“[? Parts] were [Weapon Maker].”

“[? Parts (Rainbow)] was [★★ Dress Changer]! Congratulations!”

“I have no idea.”

“Two for making armor, two for making weapons, and this… I don’t know!”

“Should we send it to Rena-chan?”

“I’m sure she’ll figure something out for us! Rena-san seems surprisingly into these kinds of things!”

“Complete bias. But if she hates it or isn’t interested, she won’t go to Magna’s place, right? I’m not interested at all~…”

“That’s true… It was just too difficult for me to grasp. I realized there are things even I can’t do…”

“Anyway, let’s send this to Rena-chan. By the way, isn’t the shooting instructor NPC called Princess Automata Grimm Hilde? Knowing there are already automatons, it wouldn’t be strange if they had the capability to create such things. Rena-chan might even create a beautiful girl robot that looks just like Babylon-chan… Oh, but would that be okay? It might be disrespectful… ‘I’m not this low-performance~♡’ and a flick on the forehead could turn it into scrap… That would be bad.”

“I’ve sent it off! Now, onto the next!”

“Yup yup! Next is… a massive haul of rainbow items!”

“We can only expect the best from these! This will completely make up for the lack of legendaries earlier!”

“Here we goooo! Appraisal time!”

“Appraisal timeee!”

“After safely sending the email to Rena-chan, it’s fun time! Thanks to this, I can forgive the lack of legendaries! Now, reveal yourselves, items imbued with mysterious power!”

“‘[? Large Shield (Rainbow)] was [★★ Hell Whale Engine Room Door]! Congratulations!!'”

“What’s there to congratulate about this?”

“…It says ‘Large Shield’ but it could also be used as furniture!”

“It’s amazing, but it only has a +15% cut rate, nothing more.”

“I guess I’ll just display it… Maybe there’s a hidden function…”

“There’s not even an empty slot. Haha…!”

“First time getting such a useless Mystic equipment… Ah!”

“Hey, where are you looking right now?”

“Um, at your… panties…”

“Representing the epitome of a dud Mystic item… I thought it might upgrade oniichan’s shield…”

“And Pers-chan, my panties are not a miss! This is a genuine Mystic, you know! It can even soar through the black rain! The flavor text is all ‘madness, madness’… Wait? Did I just realize this is actually Laura-chan’s? No, I must not speak of this aloud. Never. This newfound knowledge must be buried deep in the depths of my heart.”

“Right… Laura-chan… such intense… oh…”

“Next!!!!”

“Y-yes, next…”

“‘[? Ticket (Rainbow)] was [Premium Avatar Gacha Ticket]! Congratulations!”

“A Premium Avatar Gacha Ticket?! Guaranteed to get a hidden avatar…!? This ticket is amazing!! It said ‘This ticket can be obtained through means other than payment’, but it wasn’t lying!! Pers-chan’s eyes lit up too, but yeah. If we keep reacting like this, we’ll waste the whole morning with appraisals! Let’s appraise the next one! Ownership can wait!”

“‘[? Book (Rainbow)] was [★Special Card Binder]! Congratulations!”

“Oh!! With this, I can split the Special Card Binders evenly with Pers-chan! Yes!!”

“‘[? Accessory (Other) (Rainbow)] was [★★Whale Backpack]! Congratulations!”

“‘Whale Backpack’…”

“I couldn’t help but react to this one. What in the world is a Whale Backpack!? When I thought about it, oh, it’s shaped like the upper half of an orca, with the mouth as the zipper, super cute!”

[★★Whale Backpack] (Top-notch・Mystic・Other・No empty slots [●] )

・ [Curse] Not usable as avatar equipment

・Expands item inventory weight limit (total up to 200 kg can be held)

・Skill [Whale Jet Propulsion!] Usable

・ [Hellbound Undersea Whale Train, Hell Whale No. Card] Freeze and petrification immunity, VIT +99, AGI +99

… Packed with cuteness and incredibly light!

Not enhanceable ・ Equipment registrant [–] ・ Weight 0.1 kg

“Oh my, this is adorable…”

“Despite its playful appearance, this must be incredibly powerful, right…!?”

“It comes with unique capabilities that everyone would want… It’s definitely going to be pricey.”

“It boasts benefits like no other! But if I were to wear this…”

“Ah, it definitely wouldn’t be elegant. The skill’s efficacy would likely decrease.”

“Kuuuuhhhh~!!!”

It’s too cute… overwhelmingly so… I want to wear it too, but to give up Crimson Pearl’s water nullification for this… And wearing a Gothic Lolita dress with a whale backpack… Not usable as avatar equipment, noooo!!! It definitely wouldn’t match, and Babylon-chan would be like ‘What’s that? Doesn’t match at all~♡’… No, no, that’s just… no!!!

“It’s frustrating, but let’s move on to the next!”

“Next it is…”

“‘[? Material (Rainbow)] was [★★Babylonium Super Alloy]! Congratulations!”

“‘Babylonium'”

“‘Super alloy'”

“This… what could it be? A special alloy material mixed with elements from Babylon-chan…? Where do I even begin with this? It feels like something I’d want to keep as a charm, but 20 kg is just too heavy… And two pieces make it 40 kg?! Oh no!!! But Babylon-chan isn’t heavy! I’ve never held her, but she’s definitely light!! Babylon-chan is not heavy!!!”

“Rena-san…?”

“Rena-chan. Sending this along as well.”

“Golden…? Sending it, I’m sending it. Sent it.”

“Sent it, good job Pers-chan.”

“Good job, I’m happy… Mmm, mmm!!! This should be the last one.”

“Donta’s use.”

“Feels like it’s going to be very ‘Donta-chan-like’…”

When it comes to metals and parts and things like that, I’ll send them to Rena-chan when in trouble. By now she’s probably saying, ‘Another one arrived… It’s distracting, it’s troublesome.’ I’m sorry, Rena-chan. I’ll apologize later…

“Well then, here we go…”

“Yes…”

And here it is, the last one, sounding very much like it’s for Donta. Please take care of it…

“‘[? Ingredient (Rainbow)] was [★★★Hellbound Seafood Feast Train, Edible Edition]! Congratulations!!!'”

The one with the most absurd name has arrived…!!!!!
