Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

Vol. 8 - Chapter 422 - The Ever So Gratitude to Our Great ‹Sachineko-sama›!

"Wee-ho, it's ‹Beauty-four phenomenon›!! I thank you from every fiber of my being, ‹Sachineko-sama›!!"

The instant I caught sight of four gleaming ‹Silver Chest›, almost reflexively, I said my prayer to ‹Sachineko-sama›. How could I not?

Right, I bet it must be the payback from ‹Sachineko-sama› for the offering I had served the other day during the party! I knew it; the gaze of ‹Sachineko-sama› was always on us! You know what? Once I have my schedule free, I'm going to hunt down the ‹Golden Topple› and offer its meat to ‹Sachineko-sama›!

And—Ack! Damn, I completely forgot that dungeons will be off-limits starting tomorrow for two weeks. Oh Wait, what if I keep serving offering to ‹Sachineko-sama› in the meaning, then maybe, like jussst maybe, the accumulated fortune drew even the jackpot of the jackpot, the ‹Perfect Beauty-four Phenomenon›!?

Holy Blazes! How the hell did I not realize such a ground breaking point? Stupid me. I am going to secure a two week supply of lavish meat to serve for the upcoming two weeks!

Just as I had reached that conclusion, Lulu and the rest of the members had already taken their place in front of the treasure chest.

"Hurry up! Zephyr onii-sama! It's a fun time!"

"Fuhahaha! You bet, it's truly a fun time!"

Swept away by Lulu's statement, I decisively land at the center of ‹Silver Chest›. If I grade myself, I think I was even faster than Karua.

"Hn, I'm picking a vibe from this one."

"Oh? Then you wanna give it a try?"

"Hn-nn. To Rika. I'm sure it has something good. Try opening it."

Saying that, Karua pointed out her recommended ‹Silver Chest› to Rika. In fact, even my senses were tingling, in a positive way, at that ‹Silver Chest›. Y'know, if I had one of those ahoge, I could bet it would have been pointed out like those treasure finders. I really want to open it.

"What about you, Lulu? Do you want to open with your big sister again?"

"I want to be with Zephyr onii-sama today!"

"Hrgh!! N-No way...... ——Zephyr-dono?"

On the other side of me were the duo Lulu and Celia. Celia apparently suggested another joint operation to Lulu, but hearing that she voted for me, I received a huge shock.

I was sure she would burst into tears if I left her alone, so I decided to help her with this. Just kidding, I was actually a bit terrified of her eyes.

"Y'know, can't you just open another chest with Lulu after me?"

"O-Oh silly me! Lulu, why don't you open the chest with me as well after Zephyr-dono?"

"Two? But I don't know… treasure chests are one per person only, no?"

"Fear not, your big sister will blow away such a dictatorship!"

Then, following that, Celia made an imposing declaration about smashing the rule. But for all that matters, I had already said my words, so my role was over.

Though perhaps finding her statement cool, Lulu was looking at Celia with glittering eyes. And Celia, being herself, gave a satisfied snort at the gaze, almost akin to admiration. If I said anything here, I would have stolen her show, so I left them on their own accord for a few moments.

In the end, the treasure chests were allocated to ‹Lulu and I›, ‹Celia and Lulu›, ‹Rika› and ‹Karua› each.

We also had the audience of Team B—who were waiting at the safety area and entered when the door to the boss room opened—as we opened them one by one.

First were Lulu and I.

Like last time, Lulu snuggled herself in between my arms while I supported her as we turned to open the ‹Silver Chest›. Wish me some good fortune, ‹Sachineko-sama›!

Reflexively, I also turned to peek at Lana and Sierra's reactions; however, they were both calm, focusing on the treasure chest instead. It was a mystery why I felt suddenly relieved.

I turned my focus to look inside the SW as well.

“Ohhh! It's a bit! Like a hero, like very cool!”

“Heck yeah, that's a delightful surprise! It's name is also ‹Hero Belt› in fact, you know?”

I wonder if it's because Lulu opened it. The thing inside the ‹Silver Chest› was a piece of accessory.

‹Hero Belt›.

It offers +20 to defense value and a skill ‹Mighty Hero› that grants +3 to attack value with each strike and caps at +60. A good quality equipment.

Moreover, it also looked cool. Fashioned after a mecha like design, the needlessly huge belt somehow tickled the inner hero. I really want Lulu to try it.

Moving forward, ‹Lulu and Celia›, and ‹Karua› took their turns opening the ‹Silver Chest›.

In ‹Lulu and Celia› turn, Celia, for some mumbo jumbo reason like ‘I have to support Lulu or she might fall’ relegated herself to assist Lulu. So it was pretty much Lulu alone who opened in.

Inside was ‹Gold Jackpot (Intermediate)›. It was an unforeseen, unexpected jackpot! Celia, while hugging Lulu, twirled thrice on the spot. And that was supposed to be my role...

Following up, Karua drew ‹Equipment Reinforcement Jewel ×10). Not a bad pull per se, but quite mediocre among the bunch.

And finally, the turn I was waiting for was Rika's. After all, both Karua and mine's ‹Instinct› were rattling off.

“Then I will open it.”

As if saying, ‘Time to take a stand,’ Rika prepared herself and opened ‹Silver Chest›. Everyone leaned in to take a look.

“Hmm? What is this?” (Rika)

“Hn?”

Rika took out the drop in puzzlement. Karua followed with the same reaction. That thing sported quite a different appearance for them to put their heads around, which had caused confusion for both.

Lulu, nearby, exclaimed, “Waah! Lulu's arms are now inside it! Look, Lulu's arm is now Iron Arm! But it's a rusted piece, though?”

Arm, Iron, and Rusted—as Lulu put it, it was Rusted Iron Arm. Used for defense.

“Well, well. Now, I will say this was completely random. It's an arm gear called ‹Rusted Iron Arm›. I might look unassuming, but once you strengthen it, it will change its name and become on par with ‹Gold Chest› class equipment. It's actually a part of ‹Rusted› series.”

<Dungeon Activity> had quite an extremely weak equipment series like ‹Rusted› just now or ‹Unawakened› , ‹Cursed› etc series. As it is, they couldn't even hold a candle against anything, but they would change their name when strengthened and display their true power. They're so-called growth equipment.

Dropped from silver chests, they become strong on par with Gold chest drops. If you could gather the whole set, you would also be able to obtain a strong set skill. I used to often gather them in the game for that.

As a matter of fact, this ‹Rusted Iron Arm› was on par with advanced-low class. Honestly, if you could gather the whole set and learn all the set skills, I dare say it could easily be ranked among the top equipment lists in this world.

Well, since we have gotten one, I think I would see if I should get other parts as well. Overall, mine and Karua's ‹Intuition› were spot on, and it was quite an excellent draw.

That said, now it's time for team B.
