The Morning Routine and the Gacha Gamble

A day had passed. I greeted the morning with a throbbing sensation in my crotch, a buildup of desire that had been simmering since I woke up. I couldn't hold it back and let it all out. Squish, slurp.

"......?"

To think this would happen first thing in the morning. I tried to pretend I was still asleep, feeling the delicate, teasing flick of a tongue licking and sucking on my glans, but the moment I let out a breath, the movement stopped.

"......."

Ryun, who had climbed on top of me in the 69 position I’d taught her yesterday, froze with my erect glans still in her mouth. Her stomach let out a loud growl, and she began rubbing her vulva against my lips.

"......."

Her movements were quite clumsy, but I decided to quench my thirst first. Slurp, suck. Just as my own pantry had been replenished through a night of rest, Ryun’s reservoir had also filled up with plenty of nectar overnight. Lick, lick. We quietly explored each other, and once our short meal was finished, I felt remarkably refreshed for the morning.

With such a clear head, there was only one thing to do—

"Time for the gacha."

"Eek?!"

Ryun shrieked, even though she knew I was awake. Her teeth grazed my glans in the process, but I endured the pain, hoisted her up, and perched her on my shoulder.

"I-I'm sorry! I was just so hungry!"

"It's fine. Do it more often."

"...Pardon?"

"From now on, you’re the one who wakes me up like this every morning. Got it?"

The morning dew was sweet. I sat in front of the summoning facility, savoring the feel of Ryun’s adorable buttocks on my shoulder.

"Ryun, let me borrow your honey for a second."

"W-what?"

Squish. I inserted my index finger between her labia. Ryun’s upper body swayed at the surprise, but she gripped my hair tightly to keep from falling.

"Done."

My finger was coated in Ryun’s peach-scented nectar. Now, this gacha was perfect. Hummm. The Monster Summoning Scroll automatically rose before me. Ryun gasped ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠in awe, and I took a deep breath before tearing the scroll open.

"Gacha!"

Today was the day for a new effect and a 5% chance at a genuine 3-star!

I hit the 10% chance. Wow, I really am lucky. But another slime?

Pop. A new scroll appeared before my eyes. The green Big Slime was staring up at me blankly.

"......."

I picked up the Big Slime and set it down gently outside the summoning circle. If it were just a 2-star, I would’ve kicked it, but since it was a Slime Dragon Mark II capable of evolving into a 3-star, I gave it preferential treatment.

"Ryun."

"Yes. Hnnng..."

Ryun spread her legs slightly the moment I called her name. As expected, she was quick-witted and smart. But this time, it was a little different.

"One finger got me 10%, so two fingers should get me 5%, right?"

Squish. I forcibly shoved my index and middle fingers inside her. Ryun covered her mouth with one hand, gripping my hair to stifle her moans. Squish, squish. I worked my fingers until her nectar was running down to my palm, and the moment I felt she was sufficiently wet, I pulled them out.

"If I tear it now, this is the one!"

Gacha!

"......."

Today’s lesson: Too much is as bad as too little.

The second day of dungeon life had begun. I finished my two summons and deployed my new subordinates to their proper places. The Big Slime was assigned to Lime’s squad. With that, including Lime, there were now 11 slimes in total.

'Let’s change the squad leader this time.'

I appointed the newly summoned Big Slime as the squad leader. The armband I’d taken from Lime was placed on the Big Slime’s head, and I ordered it to expand the dungeon.

'It’s just digging in a straight line, so it doesn’t need any intellectual capacity.'

What I was aiming for was to create an exit. There was a risk that digging a hole would create a new entrance, but I couldn't just stand my ground and risk being burned to death inside the cave.

"You guys, dig a path ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠this way."

I ordered them to dig a straight tunnel leading directly to the right from the cavern. And just in case, I attached Ryun to the Big Slime’s squad.

"You collect the magic stones that drop, and if you see a hole opening to the outside, return immediately and report to me."

"Yes!"

Having eaten a hearty meal since the morning, Ryun smiled brightly and carried out my instructions. The movements of the blockheaded slimes required a smart brain, and Ryun was the optimal choice for that.

Kkeureureuk. Lime, having lost her armband, looked disappointed, her shoulders slumped. However, I called her aside to assign her a special mission.

"Lime, watch closely."

I drew a picture on the floor with my palm. It was an L-shaped pipe, and I pointed to the pipe and the ceiling.

"Your job today is to dig a ventilation shaft."

To live here, I needed ventilation. 'But I’ll dig it through the ceiling.'

A space just wide enough for a single slime to pass through. "Lime, look carefully." I needed a very small hole leading upward, not to the left or right. The end of the ventilation shaft would face the dungeon entrance, and some slimes would be stationed there to illuminate the visibility throughout the tunnel.

"Dig it so it passes through the ceiling. Understand?"

Nod, nod. Fortunately, Lime seemed to understand my words perfectly. I instructed her to try it on another wall for practice, and Lime accurately stuck her head into the upper part of the spot I pointed out.

"Perfect."

Kkeureuk. As expected, my knack for offloading work to my subordinates from day one hadn't gone anywhere. After leaving the ventilation installation to Lime, I checked on the prisoners.

'The prisoners are still unconscious.'

Harsus, standing guard like a jailer in front of the prison, was staring at Mei without a single movement. Mei was pretending to be asleep, trying to steady her breathing, but I could see her trembling with fear at a glance.

'She must have heard the sounds of us sucking and licking since the morning.'

And she was misunderstanding that the Orc was treating her not as food, but as an object of paraphilia. Her staff and sword had been taken, and her chance of a successful escape was a mere 14%.

'She’s just afraid of getting caught by me if she runs.'

Mei didn't seem to have the courage to bet on a 14% chance. That made things easier for me. I turned my gaze to Eila. Eila, unconscious for two days and several hours now. I had given up on counting her unconscious time.

'She’ll wake up eventually.'

For the time being, I would keep a close eye on her, and if any of my subordinates reached level 25, I’d have them watch over her.

'Then the problem is Mei.'

A mature mage. I knew Mei’s level and taste, but I didn’t know her exact background.

'Detailed information.'

'A 38-year-old married woman with a child...'

Of course, that daughter had been replaced by the slime Lime, but the fact that Mei had given birth to Mary remained unchanged. I had already found Mei’s erogenous zones, and seeing her condition, I nodded to myself.

'No wonder she dared to attack alone.'

Richard’s knights were around level 15, so she must have been overflowing with confidence, being level 47 herself. Since a Big Slime grows up to level 35, the previous dungeon owner, the Slime Dragon, must have been at least level 36. But I’m sorry. I’m level 75.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

"Kuh-huh."

The more my hand brushed against her buttocks, the more intense the tremors in Mei’s body became. Does Mei know? That I had already devoured her front and back while she was unconscious.

"Harsus, keep a good watch."

I grabbed Mei’s sagging breasts firmly once, then left the prison, savoring the sensation on my hand. It wasn't too late to gather information about Mei after I had expanded my forces.

'Let’s test how much better she performs compared to Ryun’s honey.'

If she hits the jackpot, I’ll keep her alive. I put my hand that had touched Mei’s breasts behind my back and opened the storage with my other hand.

"Hehehe."

The storage contained the magic stones I’d collected yesterday. Thanks to wrapping them in leaves, they were easy to take out. 8 low-grade magic stones. 50 lowest-grade magic stones. What I needed right now were the lowest-grade ones.

'Thanks to Ryun, one of the conditions for the summoning facility is cleared.'

Thanks to the Big Slime (★★☆) summon, one of the conditions for upgrading the summoning facility to level 2—securing three ★★ subordinates—had been achieved. Lime, Harsus, and the Slime Dragon Mark II. Now it was time to fulfill the other condition: 20 summons.

I had filled two slots through the Monster Summoning Scrolls. Now it was time to use the magic stones to fill the quota for monster summons.

"......Putting all my ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠eggs in one basket isn't good, right?"

I hope creatures as star-studded as Mei’s breasts are born. I poured the lowest-grade magic stones into the summoning circle.
