#5

As I roared, Ruby, who had somehow approached me, slammed her tail on the ground and shouted.

…She’s also a magical beast, so maybe her pride was hurt?

Looking again, Ruby’s sharp teeth seemed to look somewhat valiant.

Even an Epic-grade rare species at that…

Our cute Ruby is actually incredibly strong?

I covered my constantly grinning snout with both hands.

I might have picked up something incredible…

“Kyuuuung!”

“Oh, sorry Ruby. Our Ruby is super strong! The best!”

I frantically petted Ruby, who had a sulky expression, to soothe her.

Right, so what if she’s a magical beast. Our Ruby being cute doesn’t change.

More importantly, that reward Lucky Gacha ticket…

Please, I hope something I need right now comes out.

“Our great magical beast Ruby-nim, shall we eat?”

I filled both Ruby’s and my stomach with the sweet pumpkin left over from last night.

Today was scheduled to drain even more stamina than yesterday, so worry was already creeping up.

“Come here, Ruby.”

I rummaged through the wardrobe in the cabin and changed into the most comfortable-looking outfit, then tied a cute handkerchief around Ruby’s neck.

“Phew, shall we go now?”

Just as I was about to leave, a Quest window appeared.

[【System】 Quest occurred! ‘My Own Vegetable Garden Cultivation Operation!’]

-Reward: Farming skill acquisition

-Upon failure: Muscle loss

Damn, muscle loss is absolutely unacceptable!

I opened the cabin door wide with tears in my eyes and headed outside.

The destination was…

The second inheritance my parents left me, the Vegetable Garden.

* * *

“Oh, so this is the, small Vegetable Garden…”

I discovered the Vegetable Garden in the Backyard of the Cabin and let out an exclamation.

“Here, I have to farm…”

I was dismayed by the Vegetable Garden, which was larger than expected.

Hellish manual labor is about to begin…

The game I had played, Animal Park, was a special limited edition game released by a company that had a huge hit with RPG games.

Actually, before this game was released…

I had seen a news headline from the game company’s CEO: “Amidst the flood of stimulating content, the rise of healing RPGs targeting niche markets with peace and healing.”

Right, the intention was good.

Since the previous work was such a huge hit, people’s expectations reached maximum.

However, the purchase reviews after the game was actually released were absolutely vicious.

[Pros: The animals are cute. Cons: That’s all there is. Deleting it lol]

[Ah, I paid because they said it was a sequel to that previous game, but what is this? Boring as hell;]

[Aggressively pushes microtransactions; but then there’s nothing to do even after you spend money lol]

But despite the vicious reviews…

I gave a full 5 stars to the rating prompt that appeared mid-game.

I even made in-app purchases while drunk.

Why? Because the animals in here are cute.

Cute is everything. 【- This point perfectly hit my taste.</p】

But the reason I was dismayed looking at the Vegetable Garden now was because of this purchase review.

[Not even worth one star. What kind of game makes you farm all day every day; The operators here seem seriously obsessed with farming;]

Right, the point that farming was too realistic.

Why, in ordinary healing games, farming should be simplified like: plant seeds, water, harvest. Done!

Shouldn’t it be simplified like that?

But this game wasn’t like that.

These vicious game operators made the farming part 100% realistic.

So I immediately abandoned the farming content.

Rather than wasting time farming, it’s better to see even one more cute animal, right?

But now the situation is different.

“Ugh, Around the house is all fields overgrown with weeds…”

I let out a quiet sigh looking at the empty wasteland with nothing.

For me, who hasn’t even adapted to this world yet, going down to find the Village that exists somewhere on the map is high risk, and even if I go down, I’m penniless with no remaining assets, so I’d have to beg…

In the current situation, there was no other option but to be self-sufficient with the Vegetable Garden.

There’s also the system Quest that’s holding my precious muscles hostage.

“Heh heh heh heh! Kyuu!”

Watching Ruby bouncing around the Backyard, so excited about something, I steeled my resolve once again.

‘To feed our baby, let’s just dig…’

But contrary to such determination, no matter how thoroughly I searched every corner of the house and Backyard, I couldn’t see any farming supplies and tools.

“How exactly am I supposed to farm! There are no tools, no seeds, nothing.”

…Should I try using this after all?

I entered the item window with a solemn expression.

[*Heart-pounding Lucky Gacha!*]

Normal tickets: 5

Rare tickets: 3

Special tickets: 1

The reward gacha tickets I received thanks to achieving the Demon Tamer title.

If I use these, might I drop some helpful items?

Though my gacha luck being absolutely terrible is concerning.

“Whatever, let’s pull!”

[【System】 Would you like to use Heart-pounding Lucky Gacha?] [ YES ] [ NO ]

Right on cue, the system window appeared.

Really, it’s like a ghost.

When I pressed YES, the surroundings suddenly brightened and small light particles began gathering in the air, gradually growing larger and forming a sphere.

Pop!

Soon the blinding light disappeared and an animal-shaped gacha machine appeared with a pop!

“Huh, it’s cute. It looks like our Lulu?”

The gacha was panda-shaped, with a round body and circular spots drawn around the black eyes.

The panda’s fluffy front paws looked exactly like handles that made you want to press them right away.

“Hmm, should I press those front paws?”

【Panda: “Heart-pounding, try pulling the Lucky Gacha!”】

As if showing affirmation, a cute voice flowed from the panda-shaped gacha.

“Good… First, starting with normal tickets.”

[【System】 Would you like to use a normal ticket?] [ YES ] [ NO ]

“YES! Normal ticket consecutive 5-pull!”

When I pressed 5-pull in response to the system window’s question, the gacha tickets instantly transformed into bamboo.

【Panda: “Please press my front paws with all your strength. Wooong!”】

Following the panda’s words, when I pressed the front paws firmly, the gacha tickets that had become bamboo began getting sucked into the panda’s mouth one by one.

【Panda: “Yum yum yum!”】

“Somehow it seems a bit, bizarre…”

I was naturally captivated by the panda’s dual appearance, not knowing whether to call it cute or bizarre. Soon after all 5 bamboo were sucked in, a flash! of light sparked in the panda’s eyes.

[【System】 Here are the results of the normal ticket 5-pull.]

-Vegetable Garden Cultivation Set (mini shovel, hoe, fertilizer, scissors)

-Small Potion Set (2 Health Recovery Potions, 2 Mana Recovery Potions, 2 Strength Enhancement Potions)

-Crop Seed Set

-Panda Apron: An apron with a panda face drawn on it. Feature: Very cute.

-Sweet Dreams Reservation Aroma Candle: If you light the candle before going to sleep, your sleep quality improves.

“It came out, the Vegetable Garden Cultivation Set! I can finally do some digging!”

I cheered in triumph and quickly scanned through the gacha list.

An apron with a panda face drawn on it. Feature: Very cute?

Ah, so that one just ends at being cute?

I felt completely deflated by that pathetic item’s description.

I even had the reasonable suspicion that ‘Maybe the System Administrator is a panda fanatic?’

Still, this is pretty good for what it is.

For someone like me who has absolutely no gacha luck to pull exactly the items I thought I needed right now…

With a thoroughly encouraged expression, I proceeded to roll the rare tickets.

[<System> Here are the results of your 3 consecutive rare ticket pulls.]

-Spirit Bedding Set: A blanket and pillow set crafted by the hands of spirits, made of pure white fabric embroidered with golden thread. Sleeping on this bedding will restore a certain amount of the player’s health and mental strength.

-Healing Handkerchief: Wiping wounds with this handkerchief will heal them quickly. However, there is a cooldown period before it can be used again.

-Adorable Cutie Bean Pod Sunglasses: Vision correction sunglasses that make even disgusting and horrifying beings appear cute and lovable.

“Oh my god, a bedding set! I’m finally free from that filthy bed!”

I looked at the Spirit Bedding Set in the rare ticket rewards and shouted with pure joy.

It was such a delighted voice that anyone watching might think I’d just achieved the feat of winning four Olympic gold medals.
