Did she already know what I would ask her for?

Ch 163: Monster extermination

Ch 163: Monster extermination

***Let's go back in time.***

*Omniscient POV*

Before Emir demonstrated his gift as a disaster summoner, Alessia approached the three annoying beauties and explained her situation.

"So… Do you want to spend some time with us? No problem." Miria gave her thumbs up.

"It'll be fun." Zia smiled.

"Yeah, having extra company isn't bad at all," Irina nodded.

Hearing their answers, Alessia smiled. That they would accept it so easily was expected. She and Emir have a good eye for distinguishing people. And, despite the attitude of the three annoying beauties, with Alessia they have always been very kind.

Then the four women turned around and, looking towards Emir, gave a thumbs up at the same time. It was all very coordinated, as if they had trained all their lives for this moment.

Emir: "..."

'- Was it a terrible decision to leave her with them?'

At the same moment Emir walked away from the place with a complex expression, the 4 women looked at each other.

"Hahaha!"

"Since you'll be staying with us, why don't we accept an extended mission?" said Miria with an evil grin "I've been really annoyed that we're not allowed to accept the high-level difficulty missions on the board. But now that there are four of us, those guys will have no excuse to refuse!"

The quest managers perform the same job as the receptionists in the adventurer’s guild; the only difference is that they possess greater privileges. They are able to pick and choose the clients they want! And if they don't like something about their clients, then those clients should prepare their wills because the quest managers will only give them extremely dangerous missions.

In the case of the three annoying beauties, the exact opposite is true. They are so beautiful that the mission managers don't want to see such women get hurt, so they only give them easy missions!

The only exception was the Golden Lion Guild case, which applied its power to pull the strings behind the scenes.

"Haa, even though I'm normally against Miria's impulses, I feel like my muscles are atrophying from doing nothing. I need to move my body a bit," said Zia, tapping her finger on the shield in hand.

"Fine by me. What do you say, Alessia?" Irina asked.

'-Ah, these women recently managed to overcome a dangerous situation but still don't feel content, and now they are thinking about a similar mission... I think it was a good decision to come with them.'

Alessia was about to nod when a glowing stone lit up over her head.

'- No, wait a minute. Isn't this whole situation happening because they just got a new teammate? Is this my fault?' Alessia looked up at the sky. It is hard to keep up with the pace of the three annoying beauties.

"Yes, let's go. It'll be a nice change of scenery." In the end, she ended up nodding anyway.

On the way to the board with the missions, they talked about their positions when fighting. Although they had seen Alessia fight, it wasn't to the point of knowing her completely, so they asked everything they needed to get an idea.

As soon as they managed to define their style as a team, they arrived at their destination.

"Gorgeous ladies. What brings you here?" said the one in charge of the missions, closing his right eye and straightening his posture.

Alessia: "!!!!"

Alessia felt a shiver run through her body. She originally thought she was already used to cloying flattery, but the attendant's attitude made her understand that she was still far from acquiring full immunity!

'- Ah... My friends’ dead eyes seem very accustomed to this man's words.'

And not only the eyes. Their bodies stiffened to the point that they partially turned to stone, implying that they gave up on the outside world.

Without responding to the manager's words, the four of them headed towards the board with the missions and, after discussing a bit, took out a sign.

"We will accept this mission," Irina said.

"Impossible, impossible... Darlings, this mission is too dangerous for you. How about choosing one of lesser difficulty?" The manager threw stars out of his eyes.

*Ting*

The stars bounced in their bodies and flew far away in the direction of outer space. Now Alessia understood why their bodies turned to stone. It is the best anti-star shield.

"No, since we are not alone this time."

"You're not alone? Don't tell me..."

The three annoying beauties stepped aside, revealing a new woman with blue eyes, golden hair, a broad chest, and above all, a very beautiful face.

Upon seeing her, the attendant instinctively crouched down in front of her and took her hands.

"Please, marry me!"

Three Annoying Beauties: "!!!!"

'- This guy! He's forcing me to pull out my saber!'

'- I won't stop Miria this time,' Zia thought.

'- Haa, not again...' Irina put her hand to her forehead.

They all had a different reaction. In their minds, the manager was already dead. It is just that nobody warned him.

Alessia: "…"

But contrary to her expectations, Alessia lifted her chin slightly and glared with deep hatred at the attendant. Her look of hatred is at an incredibly high level, to the point that even experts would have no choice but to look away without daring to look directly at her.

Anyone would think Alessia is a vindictive woman who constantly looks down on people... And they are not entirely wrong.

Alessia delivers that look more than once a day to her master; it's just that since Emir gets off on seeing that look and hearing her grunts, even she hasn't realized the level of perfection she's reached.

The manager: "!!!!"

'- W-What's this pressure on my chest... ... ... ... I- It feels so good!'

The manager discovered a new fetish.

Three Annoying Beauties: "!!!!"

Miria instinctively sheathed her saber while Zia and Irina corrected their posture; seeing Alessia with a look of hatred made them shiver but also thrill. They know that Alessia would never look at them like that, and being the ones who know the kind side of her gives them a bit of pride.

Without Alessia saying a word, the manager himself released her hands and walked away from her. But his attitude is very different from the one previously shown, as now his cheeks are flushed! He's about to awaken his M side!

"We will accept that mission!"

Since the atmosphere was a bit strange, Alessia redirected the topic to the mission.

"Yes, right away, as you command!"

'- Ah. Why is this guy acting like that? It almost seems like he wants Alessia to give him more orders!'

In fact, Miria wasn't wrong. The manager is two orders away from being a M.

Obediently, the man looked at the mission. And, after checking the status of the three annoying beauties, he wanted to check Alessia's status. But when he was about to do so, she withdrew her hand with displeasure, as if the attendant carried some sort of disease.

"As you desire..." 

One more order, and the attendant will be a M.

'- Haa, I almost forgot my status shouldn't be registered in this place since I shouldn't have been here from the beginning. It's a good thing the attendant didn't pursue the matter.' Alessia didn't notice the way she looked at him.

"Everything is in order. The mission has already been logged as ordered. Any further orders?"

The attendant made sure to stress the word 'order', hoping the suggestion in Alessia was successful.

"That's all. Thank you."

The manager: "..."

And so, the manager who was about to take a step on the road of no return was saved by luck.

The mission they accepted was one of monster extermination, but not just any monster but the [Teriar] monster. It is a monster similar in appearance to a panther, but its special quality is based on its capacity to modify its body, especially when talking about its two forelegs.

In a fraction of a second, it can extend its legs up to 2 meters away. And not only that, it can also widen them. When attacking with them, it applies incredible strength, and only a knight in heavy armor would be able to survive a direct attack.

"According to the information, it is a pack with 120 of them. So, there are a large number of teams that have accepted the mission." Irina reported.

"What is their level?" Miria asked.

"Let me see..." Irina read the report and then said, "Level 11."

'- With Master, we have only defeated monsters of level 9 at most. Hmm, although outside the labyrinth they lose strength, they consequently gain intelligence. I will be more vigilant from now on...'

Alessia pauses for a moment and then smiles.

'- Haha, this reminded me of my previous team. Since I always have Master next to me, I've lost all caution. He's a map with legs, after all. Hehehehe.'
