[TOTAL CONVERTIBLE ROLLS REMAINING: 488]
Yes. She spent a total of... 2010 pulls.
She started at 67 pity.
And immediately lost the 50/50 after spending 70 pulls. After that, a series of losses ensued. Yes, a total 20 five star cycles... guess how many losses? Nine losses. Nine losses until she got Eastiel’s 7th Rank.
How much did she spend? 1190 pulls.
Thankfully, at this point, she also already managed to upgrade Arkai’s Scenario to its 5th Rank, and Oathran’s to its 4th Rank.
After that, things kinda went... downhill.
10 rolls, loss.
70 rolls, guaranteed. She got Eastiel’s copy and Oathran’s Rank 5 in ten pulls. A copy down the drain.
60 rolls, loss.
50 rolls, guaranteed. Finally getting Arkai’s Rank 6.
70 rolls, loss.
70 rolls, guaranteed. Another of Eastiel’s useless copy!
40 rolls, loss!
70 rolls, guaranteed, finally Oathran’s Rank 6!
70 rolls, loss again. When was she going to win?!
60 rolls, guaranteed. At least she got Oathran’s last Rank, Rank 7 here.
70 rolls, loss. Oh, God.
70 rolls, guaranteed. Now a useless copy of Oathran’s scenario.
40 rolls, finally won. But just another of Oathran’s scenario’s useless copy.
1940 rolls spent at this point.
And lastly...
70 rolls later, she won the 50/50 again, and got the last rank she needed, Arkai’s scenario, Rank 7.
2010 rolls spent.
488 rolls left.
Cecilia chewed slowly, watching the numbers with hollow eyes. She had gone through this before and would do it again. The banner had promised rewards, limited-time scenarios, and helped her understand her husbands’ secrets, after all.
But beyond that...
...was knowledge and strength.
Though... well, this was still excessively expensive.
Gacha had another name.
And it was SCAM. S-C-A-M!
To use this spending as reference, if every month she needed to gather this much... she would go broke.
"You’re glaring at your food," Arkai observed.
"Just thinking," Cecilia said, stabbing a date with unnecessary violence.
"About?" Eastiel asked.
"About probability theory," she muttered. "And injustice."
Oathran looked up from his examination of his own fingers. "Ah, are you going to throw us into another different dimension or alternate universe, Saintess?"
Cecilia blinked innocently, guiltily trying to sound excited. "New scenario every month!"
Her three husbands either groaned or chuckled or immediately lay down flat on the ground.
It wasn’t sustainable!
She ate another date.
"Let’s meet again at Arkai’s birthday."
At winter’s solstice.
At that time, there should be a new banner online.
For now, she had lentils, hard bread, and the bitter wisdom of someone who had chased probability curves into bankruptcy.
"Eat," Eastiel said again, nudging the figs toward her. "You’ll need your strength."
For the scenarios. For the pulls. For the endless, endless cycle.
And for whatever the gods prepared them for.
Cecilia ate.
***
Before she left with Oathran, she had not only given Arkai and Eastiel their school uniform, she also gave them other tasks rewards and skill orbs.
She explained what the functions of the artifacts were, and how to use the orbs.
Eastiel was surprised that the uniform already gave him +50% AGI, something he severely lacked compared to Oathran and Arkai. Cecilia was confused, though, since Eastiel totally was leaps and bounds more agile than any other beast she had ever known.
These three... the moment they start comparing with each other... the longer the debate goes...
Eastiel got his 5 Stars Weapon, Bully!Eastiel’s Brass Knuckle for +50% ATK, his 5 Stars Artifacts, Bully!Eastiel’s Woven String Bracelet for +50% CritDMG and Bully!Eastiel’s Metal Neck Cuffs for +50% CritRate, and his 5 Stars Skill Orbs, Blacksmith and Leathersmith.
[You can unlock a random percent per second DEF Bonus if you wear all the weapons, skin, and artifacts of Bully!Eastiel at the same time!]
Cecilia heard the System’s words the moment Eastiel equipped everything, and she told him.
"Sweet!" Eastiel chuckled. "I’ll wear my coat over this uniform. Ha... I really don’t want to get it dirty... But I don’t think I need this for the war either. I’m already stronger than I was."
Cecilia glared at him. "Please just wear them."
"Fine, worrywarts," Eastiel teased.
For Arkai, other than his School Uniform that gave him +50% STR, Cecilia also gave him the same set. But one specifically for President!Arkai.
His 5 Stars Weapon, President!Arkai’s Great Sword for +50% ATK, his 5 Stars Artifacts, President!Arkai’s Woven String Bracelet for +50% CritDMG and President!Arkai’s Glasses for +50% CritRate, and his 5 Stars Skill Orbs, Sound Magic Echolocation and Scent Shifting.
"I can’t believe I got this as a ’magic skill’ while alchemists in this world had to make scent-changing potions with extremely rare ingredients to hide and mask their scents..." Arkai muttered.
He turned the orb over in his palm. The thing pulsed with a soft amber light. "And this echolocation skill... what a massive upgrade."
The two seemed very pleased with their new enhancement, so she left satisfied alone with Oathran.
In the sky, in his embrace, as they soared through the clouds, Oathran stole glances at her a couple of times.
The wind tore at her hair, cold and thin at this altitude, but his arms were steady around her waist. No matter how many times she experienced it, dragon-flight was different from any other transport.
No teleportation gate disorientation, no horse’s jarring rhythm, just the powerful beat of wings and the vast expanse of blue above and white below. She should be enjoying it.
But those glances... trying so hard to be casual and failing.
"You... also want the set?"
"Me?" Oathran tried his best to look disinterested. His jaw tightened. "Why? Do I look like I need it?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Also, I already accepted too many things from you, Saintess. The cane on my birthday... and the... the... ring... for Richard."
Cecilia pressed her lips together.
Why was this dragon so... adorable?
To be honest, the cane had been lackluster. Meanwhile, the ring had been... lewd. This was completely different.
This was "Bully!Eastiel" set and "President!Arkai" set and "Transfer!Oathran" set.
"Your Majesty, the set came with the scenario. I got all of it for you too."
"..."
"..."
"...thank you, Saintess."
"Look how happy you are."
Other than his uniform, that also gave him +50% STR, Cecilia handed over his 5 Stars Weapon, Transfer!Oathran’s Lance for +50% ATK, his 5 Stars Artifacts, Transfer!Oathran’s Woven String Bracelet for +50% CritDMG and Transfer!Oathran’s Metal Heeled Shoes for +50% CritRate... and...
His 5 Stars Skill Orbs, Psychoscopy and Tactile Empathy.
"WHAT IN ISAIAH’S NAME ARE THESE BROKEN SKILLS?!"
Yes, Oathran, yes. They were very broken.
