Gacha Game Female Characters Become Obsessed with Me

In a tiny room not even 2 pyeong in size.
That was the workspace of Duiju No. 38, no, So-eun.

In fact, it was closer to punishment than work.
From the moment she opened her eyes until she fell asleep, she had to control and monitor the automatic machine Duiju No. 38 connected to her.

It would be bearable if the meals were good.
Today too, what was on the tray was fried myeongsun and dried pollack soup.

Still, today was a very lucky day.
Usually assigned to patrol the desolate border areas, her surveillance duty was extended to the city center after encountering foreigners.

Thanks to that, she got to see the streets, saw a handsome man,
And feasted her eyes on exotic and lewd outfits.

“Haah.”

But the more she experienced, the greater her sense of deprivation grew rather than satisfaction.
A deep sigh flowed from So-eun’s lips.

In the Great Imperial Empire, when one turns 18, men must fulfill the ‘duty of production’ and women the ‘duty of surveillance’ for 2 years.

No matter how advanced Hwan-dan engineering was, there was a limit to the work that could be replaced by automatons, so men were conscripted to work in various factories or, if particularly physically fit, drafted as soldiers.

Women, like So-eun, had to act as the eyes and ears of the state.

At first, So-eun didn’t feel much dissatisfaction with this fact.

Until she overheard the ‘theory of innate human rights’ that the First Imperial Princess dared to assert in the presence of the Emperor.s exist before the state.
What a heartstring-tugging statement…!

From then on, So-eun became a fervent believer of the First Imperial Princess.
Absolutely not because she had more than a year left in her service period, but because she was fascinated by the ideology itself.

And now.

“Negative. That cannot be an excuse. If you do not prove your identity, the emergency protocol will── Huh?”

Although she felt sorry for her bestie Elise, just as she was about to submit the report video because reporting subversive elements could earn her a reward,

An unfamiliar message appeared before So-eun’s eyes.

[Secretly guide the group of outsiders who passed through immigration to Jaseon Hall. This is an order from the First Imperial Princess, and burn the letter immediately after reading.]

“Uh…”

So-eun’s brain stopped for a moment, then started working more actively than ever before.

Jaseon Hall means the Eastern Palace, the First Imperial Princess’s residence.
No wonder they proved their identity with unfamiliar objects I’ve never seen before, they must be people the First Imperial Princess wants to bring in top secret…!

After clicking the incinerate button to destroy the evidence from the database,

Ahem, ahem.
So-eun moved her mouth away from the microphone, cleared her throat again, and tried to make a tone as close to a mechanical voice as possible.

Step, step.
Watching Renatel quietly draw her sword and approach the back of Duiju No. 38’s head, as if she was going to resolve this crisis with violence after all,

I rapidly turned my brain for a brief moment.

The giga-angel in my mind whispered with Yohena’s face:

Hey, Ark-baby. I believe in you. Don’t abandon your comrades, let’s overcome this hardship together with destruction and war.

The giga-demon in my mind whispered with Elise’s face:

Hey, Ark-baby. I believe in you. Don’t abandon your comrades, let’s get through this crisis with deception and lies.

Both the giga-angel and giga-demon were useless.
…If problems arise later, it seems most rational to tie up the heroes and Renatel, throw them in, and sell them out saying ‘They broke it!’

Just as I had such a bad thought,

《If you do not prove your identity, the emergency protocol will── Huh?》

“?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere of Duiju No. 38 changed.
I felt like a clear female voice flowed out for a moment instead of the modulated mechanical voice.

Swish!

Just before Renatel’s sword was about to split Duiju No. 38’s body in half,

《The policy has changed. This Duiju No. 38 will exercise flexibility and overlook the existence of the handsome man’s ‘friends’. Friends are important. …What is the meaning of that gesture?》

Thunk.

As I raised my hand, Renatel’s sword stopped precariously above Duiju No. 38’s head (probably).

We almost killed a friend.

Trying my best to maintain a refreshing smile on my lips,

“Friends are good.”

“Ohoho. We’re friends, friends.”

Elise chimed in at a strange timing.

Our new friend didn’t spare any advice for us.

《Exhibitionist friend, bookworm friend, kyahaha friend, and beastkin friend cannot go together. Identity unknown. You’ll be reported again when you encounter other Duijus. That would be troublesome.》

“Hm? Wasn’t it resolved?”

《Half affirmative. It can be fully resolved by accompanying this Duiju No. 38. Until then, the four friends are illegal residents. They cannot operate through normal channels.》

Illegal residents, huh.
It’s not wrong, but the nuance feels a bit off…

《Therefore, finding a workaround. The Silk Road Train has a cargo compartment. Board as cargo.》

“Pffft──”

I burst out laughing without resistance as soon as I imagined the heroes crammed tightly into small boxes.

It really is the typical illegal entry route for third-country residents.

Ari, Yohena, and Saha’s faces all crumpled at once.

What can you do?
It’s your karma.
Accept it gracefully.

“Who’s the beastkin you’re talking about, woof?”

Lumi’s voice pointed out a fact I had been missing.

Come to think of it, both of them freely moved between Party 1 and Party 2, so is the standard Lumi, who originally entered with Party 1?

《Regrettable. In the Great Imperial Empire, beastkin cannot be distinguished by appearance except for dragon-kin. All beastkin look the same.》

“…?”

It seems like a racist-like thought akin to ‘all Asians look the same if their eyes are slightly slanted’ just popped out.
Is it okay to show such a narrow-minded way of thinking in an empire with an Asian background? Isn’t this grounds for creating a ‘Great Imperial Empire/Controversy/Racial Discrimination’ document?

“Um, Ark…? I’m too tired…”

Renatel hesitantly spoke to me with a very desperate look in her eyes, but.

Bang!

Lumi’s tail naturally struck my butt.
…Tail whips hurt too…

The sword is far and the tail is near, so there’s no choice.

After apologizing to Renatel in my heart,

“This dog beastkin with a flower on its ear will accompany Duiju No. 38.”

Bang! Bang!

Once again, Lumi’s tail gently hit my butt this time.
Renatel’s tail drooped so much it almost dragged on the ground, and her ears drooped just the same.

“Oh my, Renatel. Did you not like us?”
“How disappointing, Renatel. Were we not comrades who practiced martial arts together?”
“N-No, that’s not it…”

With the sounds of Yohena and Saha grilling Renatel in my ears,

I sat in a quiet cafe with few people and sipped on an iced sikhye that tasted like home after a long time.

The bizarre concept of cyberpunk-Joseon is good in this aspect.

Even though I had already surpassed cooking level 4 and was about to reach level 5, I still hadn’t made this kind of Korean food.

Well, that’s because.
There was no recipe in the game.
And there was no recipe in my brain either.

If I had known I would possess someone, I should have gotten a Korean cooking certificate.

“One more sikhye, please.”

《Order received. One sikhye. Confirmed. Payment is in advance.》

I handed the local currency to the robot-waiter to settle the bill, and calmly looked at my smartphone.

There were about 40 minutes left until the 3-star clear.
And the same amount of time left until the train departure.

Wait until Elise and Duiju No. 38, who went to buy large boxes for cargo, return, then neatly pack our heroes and load them into the cargo compartment, and it’s done.

Originally, it seems the clear design itself was set up with 3 stars in mind for boarding the train that departs exactly on time.

At this point, the game is left with only traces of its system, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that clear conditions and such have been completely restructured.

How many times have I cheesed boss battles by now?

Originally, the VS Neb battle would have been like the 4th Ninja War, with all sorts of beastkin resurrecting and going woof woof growl in a furry all-star battle, but it was cleanly skipped.

I hope the 25th floor can be cheesed like that too.
And the 30th floor, 40th floor, 50th floor…

What would I do if I cheesed through?

“Did you wait long~?”

“Ugh.”
“Wow…”

Elise’s cheerful voice.
And that shocking visual paralyzed my reason.

Not only the dizzying temptation of that midline bouncing as she lightly dragged a huge cart,

But the luggage loaded on it caught my eye.

A must-have item that never fails to appear in Oriental folklore.
It was a coffin.

…No way.

“Hehe. The Great Imperial Empire has many strange things? Among them, there’s something called sex-automatons, and my goodness, it’s the name for mechanical women who relieve men’s loneliness. This is their storage container. This way, it’ll be perfect, right?”

…?

No.
Not a coffin.
But a love doll packaging…?

This is truly maddening.

“Heave-ho. It’s more comfortable than I thought?”
“Hmm, it feels a bit strange…”
“At least we can repay our debt this way.”
“Squeak…”

Seeing the heroes enter the love doll cases without any resistance, neatly lying down with their hands clasped,

No, they’re not love doll cases.
Those are traditional funeral items, coffins…!

“Ark? Shouldn’t we get going soon?”

“…Just a moment, just a moment…”

This is truly maddening…

This damn game, this damn country.
I wish it would all collapse.
