I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Seeing the second World Announcement, and the unmistakable text displayed on the screen “Acquired Demon God's Accessory”…… Aoi-chan and I exchanged bewildered looks.

Frankly, this is bizarre. Even pulling something with a one-in-ten-million chance once is absurdly lucky, but doing it twice in a row? That’s basically an astronomical probability.

If it had only happened once, it could still be brushed off as something like winning the lottery…… a stroke of extreme luck, but not entirely impossible.

However, this consecutive streak makes me suspect that there's more at play than just luck. Shiro-san mentioned adjusting her Blessing so it wouldn't affect things, but there could still be another factor at work.@@novelbin@@

For example, this is purely speculation but…… Eden-san…… or rather, Makina-san, might have granted me something akin to a Blessing.

That explanation would actually make the most sense. This online game is connected to a parallel world, but it's still part of Earth's cyberspace. If Makina-san's blessing were exerting a powerful influence, granting me extreme luck, it would be a reasonable conclusion.

I mean, it's Makina-san we're talking about. There's no way she wouldn’t do for me what Shiro-san and Fate-san have done. Saying something like “It’s a mother’s duty to bless her child”, and secretly doing it? That wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Though, maybe out of consideration for Shiro-san, she usually ensures that the Blessing doesn’t take effect in Trinia or something like that. That could be possible…… Well, this is just complete speculation on my part……

[……Aoi-chan, I’m thinking of selling the remaining boxes. What do you think?]

Honestly, I think we're still safe for now. Sure, we pulled two ultra-rare drops in a row, but we took some time to check the Heavenly God's Accessory’s effects and discuss how to use it. So, there was a reasonable gap between the two World Announcements.

From the perspective of other players, they might see it as someone extraordinarily lucky pulling two ultra-rare accessories in a short period, but they likely haven't realized that they were obtained consecutively.

If there’s a forum somewhere, this might already be causing a stir. But even then, it’s probably just along the lines of “Wow, some guy hit the jackpot twice”. At this stage, it’s still within the realm of insanely lucky but not outright impossible.

However, as Aoi-chan said, if I open another box and get a third one, then people will absolutely suspect a bug or cheating, and it’ll cause a huge commotion…… And honestly, I have an almost certain feeling…… if I open another box, I’ll definitely get another accessory.

That’s why selling the remaining boxes is the best choice. There are tons of players with four-letter names starting with “C”, so there’s no risk of me being singled out, envied, and harassed.

[W- Well, for now, let’s check the Demon God's Accessory’s effects.]

[Yeah.]

[It looks like an accessory for magic users. The +20 to all stats and 100% HP increase seem to be standard for this series. Its unique ability lets the user ignore 100% of the enemy’s Magic Defense and gives a 5% chance for magic damage to double…… I see, Aoi-chan, as a magic user, what do you think?]

[It’s ridiculously strong. Normally, even with specialized skills and equipment, you can only manage about a 90% Magic Defense Ignore at best. My character has a lot of passive skills that boost Magic Defense Ignore, but even then, it only totals 67%. An accessory that alone grants 100% Magic Defense Ignore is already insane. With that equipped, I could focus the rest of my gear purely on boosting firepower. And the magic damage doubling effect is amazing. If it applies to multi-hit spells, the overall damage output would skyrocket.]

Since I’m a physical fighter, I wasn’t too familiar with skills or equipment that ignored Magic Defense———– none existed before I retired. But from what Aoi-chan was saying, this seemed to be the ultimate piece of gear for magic users.

[……Then I’ll give this accessory to you, Aoi-chan.]

[Ehh!? N- No way! I can’t accept it! This is so valuable you could sell it and get a full set of top-tier frontline gear!]

[Yeah, that might be true, but selling it would basically be like announcing to the world that I pulled both the Heavenly God’s and Demon God’s accessories…… And honestly, it’s wasted on me as a physical fighter. If you equip this and I use the Heavenly God’s Accessory to strengthen myself, we’ll be able to take on even more difficult areas together.] 𝑅ÅƝՕᛒƐṣ

[U- Uuuu…… When you put it like that…… Yeah, I do want to challenge high-difficulty dungeons with you…… A- Alright. But I’ll definitely find a way to repay you for this someday!]

In the end, Aoi-chan accepted the Demon God’s Accessory, seemingly convinced by my reasoning. With this, she gained a massive power boost, and with my new tank-oriented gear, we’d be able to take on even tougher dungeons without issue.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [High-difficulty dungeon…… 5% chance to nullify damage…… Ah.]
