Vol. 7 - Ch. 386 - A storm after the celebration

"Hurray! They really did it!"I jumped in delight as soon as I confirmed the two drops and charged toward where Karua and Pamela were.

"Oooh! It's two drops! two! Holy smoke, the drop is even ‹Golden Cat's Coin›!" (T/N - Oval shaped gold coin, like the one Meowth had from pokemon)

‹Gold Cat's Coin›—it was one of the most valuable items that could be obtained from rare monsters. Its ability was in a match with ‹sachineko-sama›, a luck factor equipment.

――――――――――

Accessory Equipment (Gold Cat's Coin)

‹DEF 0›

‹MDF 0›

‹Gold Chest Drop Rate Up LV1› ‹Boss Material Drop Amount Up LV1›

――――――――――

The abilities were simply broken.

Cats were the apple of the player's eyes, as they seem to spread good luck wherever they go. Hehehe, I've absorbed some of that luck myself.

One of the definitive reasons why I had chosen this dungeon among other Inter-mid dungeons was precisely for the drops of fortune cats.

And one of those drop items was this gold coin in my hand. In the game ‹Dungeon Activity›, ‹Cat-Dun› was also called by its other name—‹Sachineko-sama Galore›.

As a matter of fact, the drop rate of ‹Sachineko-sama› in this dungeon was much higher than others. It was one of the frequently visited dungeons in the game by the players in search for ‹Sachineko-sama›.

Furthermore, beside the drops like ‹Gold Cat's Coin› from rare monsters, there were many excellent drops that could be sought out for. This was another reason why players used to frequent here even after getting ‹Sachineko-sama›.

As for ‹Gold Cat's Coin›, its abilities were a clear indication that it was designed specifically for boss battles. The effect would apply as long as there was a single character equipped with them. The downside was it would take one equipment slot, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

It's a pity that their effects couldn't ve overlapped but at least, this would increase the chance of ‹Gold Chest› and boss drops. And It was possible to upgrade the level of abilities up to LV10 by the ‹Skill Reinforcement Jewel›! As well! As long as I could pull that, I will be......hehe! Fuhahahaha!

In the game, If you have the ‹Sachineko-sama› and ‹Gold Cat's Oval Gold Coin›, riches were just round the corner, you know. So being able to encounter rare monsters in just our first exploration and even getting two drops must be god's work! No wait, it's definitely the guidance of ‹Sachineko-sama›. Definitely so.

Alright, it's time to prepare some delicious meat for ‹Sachineko-sama›!

"Hey, Zephyr, calm down. No, Calm down at once!"

"What are you doing, Zephyr! Get away from Pamela and Karua!"

"Wake up, Zephyr-kun!"

"Hn, ah!?"

The sudden shouts brought my overloaded tension back to reality. It seemed like I had lost my cool to that extent.

When I looked around, there was slightly plushing Pamela and expressionless Karua in front of me—or to say, we were sticking to each other. I looked down and found the reason. My right hand was circled around Pamela's waist while my left hand was around Karua's back. ......Err, what in the world...?

"Zephyr, hurry up and take off your hand and get away from there."

"How long are you going to keep dancing like that! If you really want to do so, j-just come to me!"

"Zephyr-kun, that's no good!"

Sierra, Lana and Hannah shouted. I finally realized the situation.

It seemed like I was dancing around with Pamela and Karua in the heat of the moment. It was completely unintentional. How could I not? The drop was two ‹Gold Cat's Oval Gold Coin› you know? Anyone who knows its value wouldn't be able to help themselves for sure!

Albeit, the situation seemed like this excuse wasn't going to fly, and I was made to do a dogeza on the spot.

"Goodness, even if you're excited, keep it in check."

"Yes. ......It was my fault."

Strange. I was so happy as if I was ascending to heaven just a while ago and a few moments later, I was suddenly baptized by Sierra's sermon while in dogeza. The ground was cold too. Was I caught between heaven and hell?

"Did you get it? You can't go around and hug a girl's waist so casually. It's not acceptable, you know? Especially not so intimately... Even if you're inviting someone to dance, you shouldn't force them. Get their consent first. Girls can feel uncomfortable too, you know?"

"Um, I didn't really mind that-desu?"

"Can you stay quiet for a moment, Pamela? I'm trying to teach this guy some common sense here."

"Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry, ma'am-desu."

Terrifying. Pamela tried to say she didn't mind but hurriedly retreated after being showered by the frosty glare of Sierra. Don't leave me behind!

Sierra's lecture continued for a good ten minutes. During that time, everyone except me was focusing on the ‹Gold Cat’s Coin›, They tried touching it, equipping it as they squealed. I wanted to join in too.

"Are you listening, Zephyr?"

"Yes, ma'am. I am! I'm listening!"

I couldn't escape Sierra's lecture. Somehow, I managed to endure her preaching, and just when my legs were about to give out, I was finally released.

I explained about the ‹Gold Cat’s Coin› on the way, and decided that from Team A, I and Lana from Team B would be equipping it. Everyone safely arrived at the 20th floor.
