Mixed Feelings

"That's… good, and I promise to take care of you to the best of my ability," Lena assures.

"Thank you very much, team leader," I appreciate it.

"Well, I expect you to be out in five minutes! And Owen, you don't need to call me team leader, just call me by my name, please," Lena suddenly says in a serious tone, her demeanor taking a turn.

"O-Okay," I reply with a small nod, causing Lena to nod her head as well before walking out of the room.

What was that, Darkus?

{I noticed it too. Her face changed when you called her team leader. Moreover, master, what do you think about that cat girl?}

Hearing Darkus' question, I think about it for a minute.

I...I think I like her. I answer truthfully.

{Welp, that was expected. I think she also likes you. And I am glad you didn't start calling her "big sister" yet like a moron.}

Haha, I wouldn't do something so dumb like that. But I still don't know if she likes me and will be willing to date a loser like me. Sigh.

*BA-DUM* *BA-DUM*

{Fuck, I can tell you have fallen in love with her just from the way your heart is beating.}

Man... I'm really screwed. I can't even stop thinking about her since yesterday. I feel like I have the courage to flirt or woo other ladies right now, but I can't even face her properly.

{That's strange for the inheritor of Uther, the god of deception and pleasure. By the way, you still have some unfinished business, would you like to continue?}

Oh...hell yeah!

[Ding~!]

[You have completed the mission designated to you. You have successfully created your first pleasure skill; Wonder fingers.]

[You have successfully fucked and conquered the Harpy queen, Menora, and made her experience such apex of pleasure and delight that she has never experienced before.]

[You have been awarded twenty Gacha Points. Ten Gacha Points for successfully creating your first pleasure skill and another ten Gacha Points for fucking the Harpy queen.]

Wow, that's crazy. I didn't name the skill myself, I just did a random thing.

[Would you like to change the name of the skill?]

Nah, that's fine...

By the way, Darkus, what are Gacha points used for?

{Ahem... It's actually simple. Gacha is a game that involves chance-based mechanics. It requires spending in-game currency which are Gacha points, and it involves choosing from nine loot boxes each round. It requires ten Gacha points to run each round.}

I pay careful attention as Darkus explains to me. So, it's basically gambling, huh?

{Errgh... A bit like it.}

Well, I guess I have to play a round to see what it looks like first.

{Okay...}

[Arranging Loot Boxes.]

Suddenly, before my eyes, a huge screen appears. Inside the screen, I see several boxes about nine precisely, arranged three in each row with question marks on them.

The boxes then begin to re-arrange themselves, swapping positions in a very fast motion. After a while, this shuffling stops and a sentence saying; "Please Select A Box", is boldly written above.

[Please Select A Box]

[Cost Per Round: 10 Gacha Points.]

[Available Balance: 20 Gacha Points.]

{Master, please choose a box.}

Mmmnh~ which box should I choose?

I ponder intensely about the box to choose while scratching my head in confusion.

{Master, just choose a random box. Even if you end up looking at the boxes for a whole day, you might end up picking a trashy box.}

Sigh...

I choose the sixth box.

As these words leave my mouth, the other boxes disappear and the sixth box emerges, engulfing the whole screen while shaking intensely. At the same time, I notice that my Gacha points have been deducted, with ten remaining.

After staying still, the box slowly begins to open with smoke emerging from it at the same time.

When the box finally opens, my eyes widen in shock and almost pop out of their sockets due to the anger I am feeling right now.

"AN EMPTY BOX?!" I voice out my annoyance as I look at the empty box displayed before my eyes. What triggers me more are the words written below the boxes.

[Oops, Your Luck Sucks. Try Again.]

Are you kidding me? Despite all the drama of shaking and after nearly blinding me with bright lights from the screen, I could only get an empty box?

{Fufu, master, I told you that staring at the screen for a long time before choosing a loot box doesn't mean you'll hit a jackpot.}

First of all, I hate that giggle of yours. But well... I would like to try again.

[Arranging Loot Boxes.]

[Please Select A Box.]

Seeing the same question again, I don't hesitate this time.

I will choose the first box.

With the words leaving my mouth, the same thing that happened a while ago occurs again. As the smoke disperses, an unfamiliar item pops out from the box, floating a few inches above the box.

[You've Unlocked An Epic Item; Demon Lord Purple Quince Strain.]

Eh... Looking at what I unlocked, my mouth opens in shock. Without a doubt, I know what that is. It is something similar to what my dad usually takes.

Weed!
