Marco: Well, I would get it that the entire furniture costs 3.000.000 gold coins, but a night here…

Alice: Don't worry about it, we are paying only 4 gold coins now… Delicious!

Then she finished eating her AmAma Dango and turned in her human form before ringing a bell. Some minutes later the owner of the inn entered.

Owner: How did you like this hotel's AmAma Dango?

Alice: Even though it's incredibly sweet, it doesn't overpower the flavor of the dango. Absolutely delicious. If you were a monster, I'd make you a d.u.c.h.ess.

The lady laughed at her words and said.

Owner: What a strange remark, young woman. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get enough Happiness Honey. So I can't make any more AmAma Dango… Since Happiness Village doesn't have enough men anymore, I guess there's no helping it…

Happiness Village is a small village to east, they are famous for their delicious honey, but near the village there is another one, Harpy Village, and like the name suggests it is populated from Harpies under the Queen Harpy, who are currently kidnapping men for breeding.

Marco: 'Here it is…' Hm? Did something happen in Happiness Village?

Owner: Yeah… Hmm… Hey, that's right. If it's you two, you might be able to do something. If you're able to beat that swordswoman, it should be easy for you.

Marco just nodded, even if 3 tails aren't enough for Granberia, they are enough for the rest in this continent, except Tamamo who is currently at a cave at north.

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Help the villagers of Happiness Village*

Owner: Well then, have a nice rest.

Marco: You too.

When the owner left the room, Alice turned back in her monster form and gazed at Marco while he sat in a chair and gazed back.

Marco: *Sigh* So… You are the Monster Lord? Since you said you could make the owner in a d.u.c.h.ess if she was a monster and you made Granberia kneel.

Alice: Yes, I'm Alipheese Fateburn 16th, the current Monster Lord… Now what are you going to do?

Marco: Absolutely nothing.

Alice was extremely surprised from his words and her eyes widened.

Alice: N...Nothing?

Marco: Yeah, first of all, I'm a traveler, why should I do something like killing my companion due to her status? I'm not a baptized hero, and I'm not a follower of Illias.

Alice: You… You don't follow Illias? But you came from Illias Village, it is literally the place where she is the most sacred. Why you don't follow her?

Marco: ...Some things are better leaving alone…

Alice could notice that it was a personal matter and didn't asked about his faith anymore, then she asked.

Alice: So… What was that?

Marco: … 'Should I… Whatever, she has my trust…' It is the Nine Tailed Gates…

Alice: Nine Tailed Gates…?

Marco: I have 10 different forms, the first one is the one without tails…

Then Marco was surrounded from a thin layer of red aura and his features changed a bit, it surprised her a bit, but she maintained her cool.

Marco: I can use 4 of the 10 forms, with the maximum of 3 tails, and each tail gives me more strength.

Alice: You said you could use the 4th Tail, but you would destroy the town, what does it mean?

Marco: No comment.

Alice narrowed her eyes and sighed before asking.

Alice: You would get stronger with each tail, so you are something like a Kitsune?

Marco: Yes and no, I am 100% Human, but the gates works just like that, the more tails I get the stronger I become, and my strength boost is different than them, you seen it yourself, just with the 3rd tail I could make Granberia fight seriously, even if I was thrown around like a ragdoll...

Alice raised an eyebrow at his explanation before closing her eyes and thinking.

Alice: You are hiding me some things… But I think you can tell me in the future…

They stood in silence while Marco sighed in relief from not saying anything about the system itself and about the 4th Tail and beyond, he would like to keep the latter as a trump card.

Alice: Hmm… I'm hungry again…

Marco: Holy f.u.c.k… Now wha….

He looked at Alice and couldn't finish his word after seeing that Alice was looking at him while licking her lips, Marco stood up and walked towards the door, but before he could grab the handle, a red tail coiled around him and dragged him at Alice, who was smiling and grabbing his pants.

Alice: Thanks for the meal…

[Tomorrow]

Marco slowly opened his eyes, and found himself in the bed, under a blanket, Marco was clueless about how he was in the bed until he remembered what happened…

[Flashback]

Marco: It's the 4th time, stop it, G.o.ddammit!

Alice: Hehe, it's not enough… Hora, hora!

[Later]

Marco: Jesus… Please, I want to live. Stop…

Alice: *Slurp*

[Later]

*Thump*

Marco fell unconscious in the floor after the 14th time, he couldn't take it anymore while Alice was still smirking and stroking his d.i.c.k.

*Ding*

*Status: Unconscious*

*Recovering time: 7 hours*

Alice: Well, you lasted enough… Maybe a last one before putting you in the bed…

[Back]

Marco s.h.i.+vered in horror after thinking about what happened yesterday night, s.e.x is cool, but doing something like that is possible only for his friend Gabriel...

Then he slowly stood up and stretched his muscles before cleaning himself in the bathroom and dressing up, when he got out from the bathroom, he found Alice looking at him from the bed with a smile.

Alice: So…

Marco: f.u.c.k this s.h.i.+t… I should have sold Kebabs instead of traveling…

Alice was amused from Marco's current behavior, while he walked out to take a breath of fresh air, in the way he encountered with the owner, who had a grin in her face.

Owner: It sounded like you had fun last night.

Marco: I should have opened a food stand...

The owner laughed at his words and patted his back with some force, making Marco stumble a bit forward.

Marco: I will take some fresh air, then we will take our leave…

Owner: Well… Be sure to come again! I'll be glad to welcome you!

Marco: Yeah, I will.

Then Marco walked towards the door to leave the inn, but it was unexpectedly kicked down from the same guy who ran away yesterday evening, he had an evil grin and said.

Man: I'm back like I said yesterday! Now I'll teach ya to not offer me anymore such an high price!

The owner and Marco frowned at the man's words, while he snapped his fingers and 5 big men came behind him, they were at least 3 heads taller than Marco and full of muscles, they looked menacing.

Man: Guys, destroy this place…

Bodyguards: Yes, Young Master!

Marco: 'Young Master…? We are in Monster Girl Quest, not a Cultivation World!'

Then the five bodyguards walked forward and tried to reach for the owner first before destroying everything else.

But suddenly, one of the five bodyguards flew outside and crashed in the ground in front of the inn, everyone turned towards Marco, who was covered in a thick layer of red aura and had one tail behind his back.

Marco: C'mon, s.h.i.+tstains, fight back!

The other men were angered from his words and rushed towards him while the young master was enraged.

Young Master: You dare to curse me?! Do you know who is my father?!

Marco wasn't in a good mood with all the anger he acc.u.mulated during the night since he was ignored from Alice, and shouted back

Marco: How you dare to talk back!? I'll kick your b.a.l.l.s even if your father is the King of San Ilia!

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Kick Christian Nostromo's b.a.l.l.s*

Before the other men could even touch Marco, his tail took the shape of a giant claw and slammed against all of them, and threw them one after another out from the inn, until only Marco, the owner, and this 'Christian' remained.

Marco walked towards Christian, who was frightened from Marco and tried to run away, but he was grabbed from Marco's aura which extended from his arm, that was pointed towards him.

He tried to struggle but he couldn't break free, and he was slowly brought in front of Marco, looking face to face.

Christian: S-sir… We can t NNNYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE….

*Ding*

*Special Quest[Successful]: Kick Christian Nostromo's b.a.l.l.s*

He was interrupted when Marco kicked his b.a.l.l.s like he said before, causing him to release a strange scream, then Alice came down and raised an eyebrow.

There were 5 tough-looking men unconscious outside the inn while there was the same guy that was kicked out yesterday from the inn, that was crying like a baby and trembled in Marco's giant claw, he was even trying to talk but only squeaky sounds came out.

Alice: ...What happened?

Marco: Don't worry about this. Well, owner, we will take our leave.

The owner just dumbfoundedly nodded while Marco and Alice left, after Marco threw away Christian's now-androgynous body.

[Later]

Marco talked to many people to know a bit the current situation in the town, and entered a weapon shop with Alice.

Marco looked around for something that should be only here, and after some minutes, he found it. It was an ordinary looking s.h.i.+rt at the first glance, but if someone would look closer, they could notice many little chains connected to each other, it was a chainmail, it offered protection and agility.

Marco picked it up and looked it closely with a smile.

Marco: Alright, I'll buy this.

Then, the shopkeeper came out from a door behind the counter and smiled.

Shopkeeper: Ahh, you have good eyes, boy. That s.h.i.+rt was woven in a special way, for maximum protection. It's a good piece of protective wear, even if it looks plain.

Marco: I need it to protect myself, not for fas.h.i.+on.

Shopkeeper: Hehe, good words, recently it seems like Heroes have been only caring about looks though. Those kinds of people don't see how good this piece really is. It looks like you're different, though!

Marco: Probably those heroes are already dead or enslaved, meh… It's their fault.

Shopkeeper: Right, right. It costs 150 gold coins.

Marco: Can I get an iron sword too?

Shopkeeper: That will be 260 gold coins in total.

Marco nodded and gave him a bag full of gold coins, the shopkeeper eagerly took it and waved at Marco and Alice who walked away. Marco put on the s.h.i.+rt and tried to move, it was light and didn't blocked his movements, which was a good thing, then he put the sword in his backpack, where he could easily take it out.

Then they entered a tool shop to buy a detailed map about Illias Continent and the entire world, some food and seasonings. After that, they started to head out of the city, but their steps were interrupted from a voice.

?: Fufufu… I found you! My only Hero…

Marco: '...No…'

Then a black silhouette appeared in front of Marco and Alice, revealing itself to be an unfortunate lamia, like a normal lamia she was half snake and half human… But in the wrong place… She wore only black panties and didn't have arms.

Instead of arms, from the chest and beyond there was only a green snake's neck and it's head, which had yellow eyes. Amira, the unfortunate lamia, and one of the best information sellers of the game, but she was annoying as f.u.c.k.

Amira: My name is Amira… You stole my maiden heart.

Marco was getting repulsed from Amira and took a step backward.

Amira: You filled me with love and courage. Ah, my sweet heart… An unbreakable dream.

Marco: *Sigh* Just tell me what you want…

Amira: As you wish, my sweet hero! I have a request. Recently, a band of monster thieves have been rampaging around. Having fellow monsters do such a thing… It pains my heart. Everyone else in the town is troubled, too.

Even though my appearance has quite the impact… My attacks don't. Could you do something in my stead?

Marco: Whatever, where are they?

Amira: At the mountain range at west… I am sure that with your mighty strength, you can heal back my little heart!

Marco: G.o.ddammit, I'll do it! Just stop with this poor excuse of poetry!

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Capture the bandits at the mountain range*

Amira: Ahh, just as I expected… Ara?

Amira just noticed that Marco and Alice already left her.

Alice: Are you really going to go there?

Marco: I said I would visit every places and I already told her that I would do it, whatever I say, I will accomplish it.

Alice sighed and followed Marco outside the city.
