Chapter 162: Prize Exchange and Mystery Capsule<hr>


    Apparently, the prize exchange is like choosing from a list.


    Let''s look at the contribution points first. That''s a lot of points! Come on, anything I want!


    I was in high spirits, but the moment I saw the list, I froze when I saw the top item.


    <b>Capsule 100.000 pt</b>


    This is...obviously telling me to use it, right? Capsule...what is it? Is it like the old gacha gacha? Is there a hit or miss? If it''s off, it''ll be a mess.


    This is the item below it.


    <b>Dragon Egg 100.000 pt</b>


    What the hell kind of capsule has the same value as a dragon egg?


    Anyway, if you can get a dragon, it''s a dragon egg. However, this dragon egg is for beastmasters only, so I couldn''t get it.


    On the other hand, the capsule was for summoners only. I feel like I''m being told to exchange it.


    Anyway, let''s check out the other items. To give you a rough idea, contribution points include materials, drop items and tools for production. These are the ones that were particrly high.


    <b>Magic me Smelting Furnace 80000 points</b>


    <b>Stone Stove 60000 points</b>


    <b>Magic Weaver Machine 60000 points</b>


    <b>Magic Cultivator 60000 points</b>


    <b>Magic Chainsaw 60000 points</b>


    I thought it was something that Ruin-san and the others might want. I''d like to trade the magic me smelting furnace for Hephaestus, but it''s too expensive.


    The other expensive ones are magic ice stone, sapphire and ice-based stone. The drop materials of the Guardian Ice Spirit are alsoexpensive. There were some other things I hadn''t seen before...I don''t think I need the fur of King Gori or the barbell. I''m curious to see how they work, though.


    I''m not sure what I want, but I''d like to have an ice-based stone and a variety of magic stones. I have some ice stones, so I can exchange them for rare ice magic stones. But herees the emergency. I checked my inventory and found that I had no ice-based stones.


    "Wh, What''s going on!? Why isn''t it there!? I thought it was there until the end! ...Ah"


    So it should have been there until the end. If so, then the only thing I can think of is the Despena at the end of my return to death. But I thought the Despena on the floating ind was supposed to be a raft, but let me recall.


    What happened to the raft in the boss fight? It was destroyed when Astaroth and Astaroth Dragon arrived at the floating ind. Naturally, there was no sign of the raft in my inventory.


    "Did I lose the ice-based stone to Despena at thest minute...?"


    I didn''t expect that...going to take a lot of damage...this.


    "Takuto? Are you okay?"


    Lily and the others looked worried. It''s not good. I''m not trained enough to make Lily and the others look like that.


    "Ah. It''s okay. It''s not a problem as long as I get the Ice Magic Stone!"


    That''s right! I can fail, and as long as I get the ice magic stone here, there''s no problem!


    The point is 10000pt. This is all I can do. Other high magic stones are light and darkness. Both are 5000. I''m curious.


    If I were to buy the capsule, I''d have 120,000 for the capsule, ice magic stone, light magic stone and dark magic stone. I''ve got 13,600 left. Is there something else?


    When I was looking up, I found something good. Intermediate Smelting Furnace 3000. Intermediate cksmith Hammer 3000.


    "Hephaestus. I found an intermediate smelting furnace and an intermediate cksmith hammer, what do you think?"


    "Eh!? I, I''d love to have them...I''m sure I could make some good weapons with them and increase my sess rate. But"


    "I see. Then it''s settled"


    "You''re being pushy...are you sure?"


    "It''s a plus for us. No problem"


    So, it''s decided. I have 7600 pts left and I''ll figure out the rest at school. It looks like we have a week to exchange them, so there''s no need to rush.


    But not for the mysterious capsule I''m interested in. I''m going to pick it out right away. I wonder what it is?


    When I select the capsule and execute the exchange, a capsule containing a person from a science fiction movie appears in front of me.


    Eh...that''s the capsule!?


    "Takuto? What''s this?"


    Lily asks me, but I can only answer that it''s a capsule.


    It''s not going to open up out of nowhere and some alien is going to jump out, is it? As I approached with my alertness at maximum, I heard a voice from the capsule.


    Human summoner detected. Please register as a master


    Ma, Master registration? What am I supposed to do?


    Please touch the panel on the right


    "The right panel...this? Touch this with my hand"


    I touched the panel with my hand and the machine locked my arm.


    "I!? Wh, W, What the hell is this!?"


    Blood collection will be performed for master registration


    "Bl, Blood collection!? Wa, Wait! Don''t ask me that"


    Ah...the feeling of having my blood sucked...


    Master registrationpleted


    My arm is released and I fall down.


    "A, Are you okay? Takuto-san!"


    "A, Ah...somehow..."


    I''m okay, but...okay! This is too much! It''s a trap! This is harassment! You''re harassing me! You should have asked me for permission!


    While I was gripped by anger, things were progressing.


    Establish path to plete. Initiating magic plete. All systems go live. Activating Ex Machina!


    The capsule was opened and a girl with short purple hair appeared...I''m not surprised anymore...but she''s not wearing any clothes! No, she''s barely hidden by mechanical parts where she should be, but it''s so dangerous that there is no problem with Setia! I''m sure of it! This isn''t an all-ages game!


    "Takuto...why isn''t this girl wearing any clothes?"


    Lily asks, but why? I want to know! Is it a reward from the admins? I don''t know, I''m confused.


    "Ha!? Ta, Takuto-san! Don''t look!"


    Ion, I think it''s toote to hold your eyes.


    "Does Master want me to wear clothes?"


    Ex Machina asks. Master is that me?


    "Ah...yeah. Can I help with something?"


    "Imagine clothes"


    Clothes? I don''t know what it is, but the first thing that came to mind was my uniform.


    Master''s image is confirmed. Analysisplete. Executing conversion


    Uh? Conversion? I don''t know what''s going on because Ion is covering my eyes. Then when Ion let go, there was a girl in my uniform in front of me.


    """"Cu, Cute clothes...""""


    Ah, I have a bad feeling about this. This is not the way to go!


    "Ah...are you sure you want me to be the master?''


    A gaze pierces me from behind! Don''t turn around!


    "Yes. I''m confirming the path with Master. Please enter my individual name into the capsule"


    Enter the individual name and it''s mechanical one by one. What about the name? By the way, there is an alphabetic name that I like. That would be fine for a girl''s name.


    So I entered it and heard a voice from the capsule.


    Confirm individual name input. Individual name Ix. Formal contract with Master,plete


    Then the informationes through.


    Ex Machina, you have made a contract with Ix


    You have made a contract with five female subraces, excluding synthetic summoned beasts. You have earned the title Lolicon


    I don''t want it! I don''t want that title! But when I saw the effect, I changed my mind.


    <b>Title Lolicon</b>


    <b>Effect: Increases the chance of summoning female subraces</b>


    <b>This title is given to those who have madepanions with five female subraces by means other than synthetic summoning.</b>


    ...Regardless of the name of the title, it''s nice to know that it''s easier to find female subraces. And this brings the number of summoned beasts I can summon to 9.


    I don''t think I can summon anything but girls without a title...no, I''m also a man, so I''d be happier with girls, but it''s hard when there are more of them...like the gaze attack.


    Anyway, let''s take a look at Ix''s status.<hr>


    <b><i>Name Ix Ex Machina Lv1</i></b>


    Vitality 15


    Magic Power 15


    Strength 15


    Defense 15


    Agility 15


    Dexterity 15


    <b><i>Skills</i></b>


    Machina Armament Lv1


    Analysis Lv1


    Detection Lv1


    Conversion Lv1


    Link Lv1


    Magic Recharge Lv1<hr>


    All of the skills were things I didn''t know. I feel like I''m in trouble.


    -----------------------------------------


    Author note:


    It was the appearance of Ix of the mecha musume machine race Ex Machina. I think many people were expecting it from the event''s Robot. Ix is like a 1st ce reward, so it''s a dragon-ss broken character. I''ll exin her abilities in detail next time.


    As you can see from the effect of the title, the number of subraces will increase considerably in this episode.
