56: Black and White

"Ok, since everyone is ready, I guess it's time to use the remaining [SP]" - said Cloud as he looked at his teammates, who were wearing more comfortable clothes for the occasion - "And I see you're enjoying it"

"It's the least we can do" - replied Saeko as she shrugged her shoulders and started drinking a tropical drink - "Not bad, it's delicious and refreshing."

"I think we'd better start with that... roulette..." - Saya said as she interrupted her beloved's conversation with the most dangerous girl in the group, at least psychologically.

"Hmm" - Cloud frowned slightly before taking the two tickets.

[Editable option roulette ticket (SSR)]

[Roulette whose options can be chosen by the player, these are divided into category and subcategories, among them recruits, consumables, weapons, or armor. Depending on the user's choice, there may be more or less options, that's why you have to think about it carefully].

[The probability of getting a high level prize increases considerably during the first three roulette].

[Additional Information: The first roulette has a 100% chance of getting a double prize. The following roulette wheels have a 1% chance of getting a double prize]

"This is... interesting..." - Saeko said while stroking her chin - "What do you think, girls?"

"Honestly, I don't like to put my fate in the hands of luck, mostly because it always ends up biting my ass" - replied Rika Minami as she folded her arms - "Other than that, this is a good chance to get a considerable upgrade without spending anything"

"Rika-san is right, for example, succeeding in getting a high-level weapon, could ease your way through the next worlds, it could even make you change your focus from your main weapon" - Saya replied while looking at Saeko, who simply hugged her Katana, showing that she didn't plan to change her "job".

"On the other hand, I think we'd better choose recruitment" - Yuriko said as she gained the attention of all the members of their group.

"May I ask the reason?" - Cloud said while raising an eyebrow, after all, Saya's proposal was the most feasible one, however, the option Yuriko was giving him was also appealing.

"It's simple, the first roulette will give us a double prize, one that is possibly high level, in this case, two extremely powerful allies that could help us improve considerably" - Yuriko replied as she looked around - "From my standpoint, the best thing we can do is to improve our foundations instead of becoming dependent on weapons that we may not even use"

Cloud was silent as he frowned slightly, after all, Yuriko's words made sense. Just because he got a high level weapon, didn't mean he would use it, not to mention that this would cause him to modify his options to something specific if he wished to use said weapon, for example, let's say he managed to get a bow, then he would not only have to train the handle it, but he would also have to use his [Stats Point] to complete the requirements needed to use said weapon.

"The other reason for my decision, is that with a strong ally, it could help you more than a weapon in the following worlds" - Yuriko continued while looking around - "Think about it, one of the allies could help us with the training, while the other helps Cloud to not only improve, but also help him to pass the future tests."

The girls were silent, however, they had to admit that Yuriko's words were becoming more and more seductive, to the point that the girls were starting to accept this proposal as the best. Cloud was also being seduced by Saya's mother's arguments, though he still asked for the opinion of the others.

"Sounds like a good idea" - nodded Miku as she looked at her companions - "However, our partner has to be a woman, because I'll be honest with you, Cloud, I don't think I can stand a man with all of us in this place."

Cloud was silent as he nodded weakly at the orange-haired girl's words.

"I agree with Miku" - nodded Kyoko as she laid her argument on the table - "Not to mention that it's possible that being stronger, this man might overstep certain limits..."

"I agree too" - Rika simply folded her arms as she looked at her friend, who simply remained silent - "What do you think, Shizuka?"

"Cloud has the last words" - replied Shizuka while shaking her head - "After all, we have to take into account that if the fictional stories are worlds, then the most powerful recruits should be men, for us to ask for only female recruits could restrict the options, or even make our plan ineffective"

Saya and Yuriko were silent at these words because that had not occurred to them, in fact, it was a detail that all the women in the group had overlooked.

"What do you think, Cloud?" - Saya asked seriously.

"I think Shizuka's words make sense, however, I think I will still follow Yuriko's idea" - Cloud answered while taking one of the Tickets - "I want to activate the roulette, main category, recruit, and subcategory, female"

[Starting the roulette, please wait a few seconds...]

[Increase in the ratio of good result, and double reward has been activated, we wish you good luck, player...]

To the surprise of those present, a huge roulette wheel appeared in front of them with hundreds of names on it.

"I guess the roulette first chooses a world, and then chooses the prize" - mused Saya as she watched the roulette slowly come to a stop - "Makes sense, I mean, it's the best option, unless you want the roulette to spin forever..."

Cloud simply kept silent, though his expression changed drastically as he watched the roulette wheel stop on a specific square - "Oh, this I don't know if it's good or bad..."

"Why do you say so?" - Yuriko asked while raising an eyebrow as she saw the roulette - "Kuroinu: Kedakaki Seijo wa Hakudaku ni Somaru]? What's that?"

Before he could give an answer to the beautiful purple-haired woman's question, two silhouettes appeared in front of the group.

[World has been designated, extracting two characters compatible with the chosen subcategory...]

[Congratulations on getting the recruits...].

"Oh, this is going from bad to worse..." - Cloud muttered upon hearing the name of the two women who had appeared in front of the group.

Saeko and the others watched in silence, though their expressions changed when they saw the seductive features of the two women, though there was one detail that was the most surprising, and no, they weren't talking about their curves, but rather their long ears.

"Elves!" - Saya exclaimed as she felt her glasses about to fall off her face, a situation the others would have if they too wore glasses.

The first woman was beautiful, long blonde hair that reached her knees, beautiful emerald green eyes, silky white skin as snow, a figure superior even to Shizuka's, huge breasts, small waist and hips that looked ready to bring offspring into the world, all covered by very small clothes that barely did anything to hide the woman's most intimate parts.

The second woman seemed to be the opposite of the first, although that did not mean that she was ugly, quite the contrary, she was also beautiful, although unlike the purity of the blonde elf woman, she was seduction in its purest state. This woman had black hair at the same height as her worldly companion, cold golden eyes, one being covered by a lock of hair, a skin of a delicious chocolate color, and finally, a body of equal proportions as the first woman, and with few clothes to cover it.

"Where am I?" - asked the first woman as she looked around, confused at the situation.

"That voice!" - exclaimed the second as she focused her attention on her dimensional companion - "Celestine Lucross! Fucking bitch!"

"Olga Discordia! You're still alive!" - Celestine exclaimed, the blonde elf as she took a close look at the chocolate-skinned woman, only to be surprised to see her perfect condition, incomparable to the image that mercenary had shown her - "Impossible, you... Ugh"

The two women grabbed their heads as they felt unfamiliar information enter their minds.

"Are they okay?" - Saya asked with concern - "They looked like they were about to kill each other..."

"That's because they were going to, those two are enemies, they are basically the opposite of each other" - Cloud replied as he felt a huge headache at the presence of these two women, and although strong, they had hundreds of problems, especially the woman called Olga Discordia.

"This has to be a fucking sick joke..." - Olga snarled as she stood up and looked directly at her [master] with hatred - "You fucking human!"

"Stop acting like a rabid bitch, Olga!" - Celestine exclaimed as she scowled at her dimensional companion, then looked at Cloud with a complex expression - "We need to talk"
