My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gacha: Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon, I'm Out for Revenge! (信じていた仲間達にダンジョン奥地で殺されかけたがギフト『無限ガチャ』でレベル9999の仲間達を手に入れて元パーティーメンバーと世界に復讐＆『ざまぁ！』します！)

You two better be able to pull your weight, hear me?

We already showed you our levels.

We're both well over 300.

These two have a decent reputation as adventurers, but I'm not so sure they'll be useful.

Maybe I shouldn't have gone so hard on them.

I recognize that voice...

You there! Human child!

I figured there was a chance we'd have a run-in with her,

but I didn't expect it to happen so fast.

I've never forgotten for a second over these three years.

The way she betrayed, disparaged, and tormented me...

with that smug, irritating voice.

I can't lash out, not just yet.

I've waited three years for this.

There is a proper time and place to deal with scum like her.

To get the ultimate revenge...

I must play nice.

How dare you!

Nemumu.

Ew, gross!

No more! Cover that hideous face right now!

Yet, she was the one who demanded to see it. Typical.

Good lord! I need to wash my eyes out!

With a face like that, you're better off dead!

Seems the illusionary burn scars that I made using the Fool's Mask worked wonders.

Thanks for not jumping in, you two.

It was a close call.

Blimey, what an absolute insufferable bellend.

You said it.

But it frustrates me to think back to three years ago,

when I was dumb enough to not even realize how big of a piece of shit she is.

There's no time to waste. Let's go.

Righto.

Yessir.

The drying trail

And the mystifying sky

Come together as a guide

At the hour of death

The fate reeled in by hand

Is a haze of countless lies

Abruptly there come whispers

The falsehoods of sinners

What are they asking?

Where is the trust?

Worlds connected

By tears that flow

The sound of solitude

Was supposed to change

If we joined hands

Now it fights incessantly

To reach for you

The beat simply dances

Do not resist

Life has already

Slipped right through

These hands that snatched the shell

Jeez. You guys don't give up, do you?

You better stop chasing us, unless you want to die.

Oh yeah?!

Fat chance of that!

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Get back here, dammit!

This should be the place.

Nobody's here yet, though.

Good point. Let's just wait for a bit.

What a surprise. They actually managed to keep up.

Run all you want. You won't escape from us!

We're tougher than nails!

Here I thought you'd give up and turn back. Guess there is some bite behind all your barking.

A shame they don't put their talents to work at something more worthwhile.

Using their gifts in such a petty way has led them to their own deaths.

Pure irony, wot.

Huh?! You're the only ones dying today!

Getting killed by elves is a real honor. You should thank us!

Hey, Mera! Take care of them, would you?

Hah! Who are you even talking to?

Don't try to bluff your way out of this!

Think you're hot shit because people have been calling you the "Black Motley," huh?

You never should've messed with us, cuz now we're gonna bury you six feet under!

But it's not too late to beg for your life. Grovel hard enough and maybe we'll let you off!

That's a two-way street, cretins.

You made your choice when you hurled all those nasty insults at our dear Master.

Now you'll pay for it with death.

Wh-what the hell?

And for the record, I couldn't care less how hard you beg.

So just shut up and die!

Sorry about that, Mera. I hate to waste your time.

Aw, don't mention it!

I mean, they tasted like absolute shit. But for you, my Master?

I'd gladly devour a thousand of those bastards or more, bones and all!

You're a bally good member of the team, Mera. But blimey, you send shivers down the spine.

I hate to agree with a blockhead like Gold, but yeah. You do.

Aw, we're all friends here! What's there to be afraid of?

Indeed.

There is no one among us who considers your orders a waste of time, Master.

After all, our very purpose in life is to serve you to the best of our ability.

My partner here agrees with every word you said, Lady Iceheat!

Damn, straight. You can always count on me to have your back, my man.

Please excuse us for being late.

Iceheat, Mera, Suzu, and Jack. Reporting for duty.

Hey all! Good to see you!

Sorry to saddle you guys with escort duty.

It's fine. Flying isn't really an option when there are so many adventurers around who might spot you.

Thanks. Well, lead the way.

Of course. Just leave everything to us!

Suzu?

Speak clearly, would you? The Master is with us now.

Shucks! Let me apologize, Lord Light and Lady Iceheat.

It's okay. I know how she is, Lock.

Don't force yourself, Suzu.

I must say, I'm surprised that you went to the trouble of joining us, Jack.

Gotta uphold the bro code.

I can't just sit on my ass when my man is out here putting his nose to the grindstone, ya know?

Well, I'm just chuffed to bits to see you, mate!

It was all Lady Ellie's idea.

And I'd never leave the Lightmeister hanging.

Hot damn. I'm sensing some hostility, ladies. What's with the all the death stares?

Does my little nickname for him really bother you that much?

We're all part of the same crew here. No need for fancy titles.

Besides, the Lightmeister doesn't want us to act like we've got sticks up our asses all the time, ya dig me?

Jack, old chap! I think you've made your point!

Let me flip the script.

Don't you realize that your arbitrary need for proper decorum with Light

is only forcing him up on a very lonely pedestal?

Cuz if that's what you want for him, then we're gonna have to throw hands.

That's enough.

Chill out, Jack. Don't pick a fight with everyone.

Same with you ladies. You know Jack and I have an understanding.

So keep your cool, okay?

All righty, then.

We hear you loud and clear.

Sure.

Well, shoot. That did nothing to fix the bad vibes.

What a mess.

I haven't seen you like that in a while.

Huh?

All geared up with your gauntlets.

I only see you wearing maid attire down in the Abyss.

Well, that's because I've been learning the ins and outs of the maid's code under Mistress Mei.

In fact, it's been so long that even I feel weird wearing these now.

Then why not just ditch the maid outfit entirely?

Excuse me? I'm not going to strip in front of Master Light like some sort of floozy!

I'm going to have to knock some proper sense into you later, Mera!

Good. They helped lighten the mood.

You know I'm always happy to have a slugfest.

Gold, my dude. You didn't skip out on training while I wasn't around, did ya?

Perish the thought!

Really, now?

Then, you won't mind sparring with me later.

Looks like Gold has things covered on this end.

Get your act together, partner!

You have to pay proper respect to Lord Light or else Lady Mera's gonna gobble you up!

Suzu suffers from extreme shyness.

So her musket, Lock, is the only thing she can really converse with.

Say, Nemumu?

Yes?

Suzu is a girl, right?

Huh? Well, I assume so.

She was listed as "androgynous" on her card.

What do you suppose that means?

Maybe it's some kind of skill.

I'll have to ask Ellie later.

Yeesh! They're late!

Mya!

Mew, mew!

It's His Blessedness!

Wow. It's pretty imposing up close like this.

Master Light!

You're finally here!

Mew!

Welcome!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We know you've been busy. Come, let us talk inside.

Meow!

I'll show you the way!

As if you had any idea.

Wow. It's just as huge on the inside!

I haven't activated anything yet, but the interior is furnished with my magical enchantments

as well as technology that I reversed engineered by analyzing the dungeon core from the Abyss.

It's completely impervious to outside interference, whether magical or physical.

So please rest easy.

Say hello to one of my pets. I summoned him to help enact the plan.

Wow, this is your pet?

The top floor has been made into a wedding hall to host the main event.
