After examining the lists thoroughly, I closed my system window and looked ahead.
I was currently walking with Lia and Diana in the hedge maze zone.
After walking continuously for about 10 minutes, I felt a sense of boredom creeping in.
We hadn't encountered a single monster, and the silence was getting to me.
Yeah, I know I can't fight stronger monsters, but now that I'm at Iron rank, I'm excited to battle some lesser-ranked monsters.
I really like leveling up...
As I walked, I remembered that I could use my appraisal skill on any being.
Curious about the sisters, I decided to try it out on them.
First, I looked at Lia, who was wearing lace-up leather pants with a bandeau top and statement shoes.
Now that I thought about it, it was indeed strange to go hunting dressed like that.
Maybe this world was like a modern world but with monsters. I wasn't sure, but it seemed possible.
I activated my appraisal skill and focused on Lia. A system window appeared in front of my eyes, displaying her details:
---
**Name:** Lia Parkour
**Height:** 5'6"
**Weight:** 125 lbs
**Age:** 20
**Personality:** Naive, Kind, Optimistic
**Evaluation:** Bronze Rank Hunter
---
'She is just as I expected.'
The information was fascinating. It gave me a glimpse into who she was beyond her appearance.
Now...
Next, I turned my attention to Diana.
'What's about you?'
Her fake name made me even more curious.
I activated my appraisal skill on her and another system window popped up:
---
**Name:** Anna Parkour
**Height:** 5'8"
**Weight:** 130 lbs
**Age:** 21
**Personality:** Cautious, Intelligent, Protective, Bitch.
**Evaluation:** Iron Rank Hunter
---
Anna Parkour? It's a good name, but too bad her personality is such a pain in the ash..
What a waste of a great name.
I decided to play along, keeping the fact that I knew her real name to myself.
Shifting my focus back to the screen, I saw that Anna's strength was superior to her sister's.
After taking in the information, I closed the system panel and concentrated on our walk.
After a few more minutes, we finally exited the maze and found ourselves in front of a dense jungle.
As soon as we stepped out, the bushes ahead of us began to shake, accompanied by a rustling sound.
We all stopped in our tracks, alert and ready for whatever might come.
"I think we might have company," I said, slipping my hand into my pants pocket to take out a knife.
Anna and Lia stood still, showing no signs of tension. It was as if they were sure they would win, which made me confused.
What did they have to be so sure about? Were they overconfident, or was I just overthinking?
The rustling grew louder, and my heart raced in anticipation.
Whatever was coming, I was ready to battle it to the death.
Just then, another screen appeared in front of me with a quest that was truly unexpected:
---
New Quest: [Booby Trap]
A lesser-ranked monsters has blocked your path. Kill it either on your own or with your companions.
Objective: Kill the monster 0/1.
Reward: World's Monster's history
Bonus objective: Touch Lia's Boobs
Reward: Bronze-Rank Dagger.
(Accept/Reject)
---
'Touch her boobs now, are you kidding me?'
Fighting a monster while touching her boobs was too risky, but the reward...
The reward was too good to pass up.
It was way better to fight monsters with daggers than with some random kitchen knife.
But why should I even bother?
Sure, I'll accept the first quest, but I'm not interested in the bonus quest.
I mean, why would I?
I'm the son of a billionaire, so why should I care about cheap stuff?
Soon enough, I'll be able to get much better weapons than these.
Why take risk?
After a few seconds of thinking, I accepted the quest.
I closed the system and focused on the bush.
After a few seconds, a creature jumped out fast and landed on a branch of a tree close to Lia.
Hmm?
I was startled by the creature's speed and its appearance.
It had a monkey face but spider legs with no hands. In short, it could be called a Monkey Spider.
I immediately used my appraisal skill on it and found it had only one vital body part: its head.
I readied myself with the broken dagger, but what I saw next shocked me.
Diana and Lia both took out... a gun. Yes, a pistol.
They began to shoot, but instead of bullets, lightning balls burst out of the pistols.
'What are those guns? Are they imbued with magic or something?'
One of the balls hit one of the Eight legs of the spider, instantly making a hole.
"Hu-ugh."
It cried out and jumped from one tree branch to another, trying to avoid the bullets.
I watched in awe as Lia and Diana handled their weapons with precision.
They were definitely more skilled than I had anticipated.
The Monkey Spider was agile, but the lightning balls from their pistols kept it on the defensive mode.
After a few minutes of constant jumping from branch to branch, the Monkey Spider went into berserk mode.
It began to spit a green liquid in every direction, and both Lia and Diana had to constantly change their positions to avoid the acidic substance.
But while they were busy shooting, I was thinking about another thing...
Fuck, I was wrong about their skills...
What are they even doing with their weapons?
Can't they at least hit the spider monkey, or whatever it is and manage to injure or kill it?
I mean, sure, it's moving fast, but it's way too big and tall to miss.
I'm starting to think they might need glasses for their poor aim...
Anyway...
Wherever the liquid landed, it burned through the foliage, leaving smoldering patches.
That's definitely acid.
I am sure.
The creature's condition was worsening.
Five out of its eight legs were destroyed, and green blood oozed from the blasted stumps.
Despite its injuries, the spider suddenly stopped moving and spit a web in Lia's direction.
Lia tried to dodge, but her leg slipped, causing her to fall.
"Ouch..." (Lia)
Diana's panicked shout echoed, "Lia!!"
I'm not sure why, but for some reason, my body instinctively reacted to save her.
I immediately sprinted towards Lia and leaped to shield her.
As I landed, the spider web covered my back, sticking me to the ground.
Lia looked up at me, worry etched on her face. "Uhmm, Mi-michael, are you okay?"
I couldn't hear her voice.
Why? Because...
I was in heaven.
My main goal was to save her but...
In the process, my right hand had landed on her right breast.
It was accidentally, purely...
It was incredibly soft, and I couldn't help but give it a gentle pinch, feeling something strange under my fingers.
Lia gasped, her cheeks flushing red. "Ahh... Michael, what are you doing?"
Realizing I had pinched her nipple, I immediately withdrew my hand. "Oh, so-sorry, Lia. I didn't know."
I actually knew it...
But fuck my horny brother... I couldn't keep myself in control and, crossed the line...
Lia's face was a mix of embarrassment and confusion, her cheeks a bright shade of pink.
She is really naive.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp kick in my stomach, and I was thrown to the side.
I heard Diana's angry voice. "What are you doing, pervert?"
I landed roughly on the ground, the wind knocked out of me.
Diana stood protectively in front of Lia, glaring daggers at me. "I was trying to save her," I protested weakly, still catching my breath.
"Save her?" Diana spat, her eyes blazing. "It looked like you were taking advantage of her!"
I groaned, the pain in my stomach mixing with my frustration. "Look, it was an accident. I didn't mean to—"
Before I could finish, the Monkey Spider, now desperate and enraged, charged at us despite its injuries.
Diana and Lia quickly turned their attention back to the monster.
Diana fired more lightning balls, while Lia struggled to get back on her feet, her movements hindered by the slippery ground.
Summoning all my strength, I stood up and grabbed the kitchen knife I had dropped earlier.
"Let's end this," I muttered to myself, determination fueling my movements.
I circled around the creature, looking for an opening.
With its attention split between Diana's attacks and Lia's attempts to dodge, I saw my chance.
I lunged forward, aiming for the creature's head—the only vital part according to my appraisal skill.
The knife sunk into its head with a sickening crunch.
"Heurhghhhh!"
The Monkey Spider let out a final, agonized screech before collapsing to the ground, twitching as its life faded away.
A system window popped up in front of my eyes:
---
**Quest Complete: [Booby Trap]**
Objective: Kill the monster 1/1
Reward: World's history
Bonus objective: Touch Lia's Boobs
Reward: Bronze-Rank Dagger
---
Two more messages followed:
---
**(Ding, congratulations host! You have completed the quest and the bonus objective!)**
**(The Bronze-Rank Dagger has been added to your inventory.)**
---
Panting, I looked at Diana and Lia, who were both watching me with a mix of relief and suspicion.
Lia's face was still red, and she avoided making eye contact. Diana, on the other hand, kept her glare fixed on me.
"Thanks for the help," I said, trying to ease the tension. "And... sorry for the misunderstanding."
I really didn't get why I was thanking them when I was the one doing most of the work.
Their aim at the spider was terrible.
Diana crossed her arms, still fuming. "Just stay away from my sister, pervert."
Lia finally spoke, her voice soft and hesitant. "It's okay, Diana. He did save me."
Diana's expression softened slightly, but she still kept a wary eye on me. "Let's just get out of here."
As we made our way out of the jungle and towards Ambrosia, I couldn't help but feel a mix of satisfaction.
I really enjoyed her boobs. It was my first time touching any girl's boobs.
I had completed the quest and earned a valuable new weapon, but I had also managed to make things awkward with Anna and her sister and, might also have angered her...
One thing was for sure: I needed to be more careful in the future.
I then out of curiosity asked the system in my mind, "System, what are the chances that I could get killed because of this incident in the future?"
[1 percent, host!]
What?
1 percent?
That's way too high; it should be zero, not one.
