Nine Tailed System 103 ...........

Alice: *Nom* How will we find the Purple Orb?

Marco: ...We'll talk to people until we find the right person that can te-

He was never able to finish when an white gloved hand patted his back, Marco and Alice turned around and found a woman dressed with a white dress and a red long skirt, she was wearing a pair of white gloves, and had a blue gem on her collar.

She had red long hair and big breasts, blue deep eyes and a smile on her face.

?: Hehe… I heard that you want to find the Purple Orb.

Marco: 'Well, finding her was easier than I thought…'

Alice: And you are?

The woman bowed a bit and said.

?: I'm sorry for my behavior, my name is Selena. And you two?

Marco: We are travelers, Marco and Alice.

Selena: I can give you some informations, but could you come to my house for a bit?

Marco shrugged and followed Selena with Alice on his back. They entered her house and looked around, there were pearl white walls with clean windows, which shown the backyard.

Inside the living room there were two long blue sofa, and a blue chair that surrounded a wooden table. The three of them sat on the sofa while Selena sat on the chair.

Selena: I want you to come on the ocean with me, and help me look for Captain Selene's ship. I've already prepared a ship.

Marco: ...You said you have informations about the Purple Orb…

Selena: Yes, it is on Captain Selene's ship. If you wan-

Marco: I don't care about where you find out the information.

He talked with a casual tone, any clue was important for the two of them, or only for Alice since Marco already knew where it was.

Marco: We will go, I presume you want me as a bodyguard.

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Go with Captain Selene to pick up the Purple Orb.*

And like the last time with the doppelganger, it revealed Selena's secret identity...

Selena: Smart too… Yes, that was the reason, I heard the stories of the "Crimson Fucker"... Being able to terrify some monsters too, and it was said that he won the Queen's Cup at Grand Noah…

Alice's eyebrow raised a bit and looked at Marco suspiciously, however he ignored Alice and said.

Marco: Stop about that, I said already that we will go.

Selena: Alright, then let's head to the port right now. Everything's already prepared, so we just need to set out.

Marco shrugged and he and Alice followed her, it was evening, the sky was slowly darkening, Marco and Alice reached the ship that they will use to reach the place where Selena thought that Captain Selene's ship is.

Over the ship, there was already a small crew, there were only armed women, meanwhile Selena came out from her cabin with a blue coat and a captain's hat.

Pirate 1: No issues here, Boss.

Pirate 2: Man, haven't seen a wind this good in a long time! This is lookin' good for us!

Selena: It had been a long time since we last went on a voyage, I hope your senses haven't dulled.

Marco: ...I miss my other ship…

Selena: Oh? You sailed in the sea too?

Marco: No, I stole a ship and modified some things, before using it to reach Sentora, it was a good moment when I found a pirate ship and going over it…

Every sailor turned towards him with a dumbfounded gaze.

Pirate 3: Wait, it was you who destroyed Anna the Gunslinger's ship?!

Marco: So that woman was called Anna?

Selene: Pffft… Hahahahahahaha! Good! We have a madman with us! Girls, raise our flag and make the ship move!

Sailors: Yes!!

Someone raised the veil and the wind pushed the ship away from the port, meanwhile Marco and Alice watched everything.

Marco: 'Finally we will reach the last orb… Then there should be the little mess with Sara's kidnapping and Illias Kreuz's problem… Unless Lazarus disband the group. If he doesn't then I will make a small chat with him… Fuck! NO!'

He just realized what it means by going to get the Purple Orb, and a scar of his past started to hurt a bit… The main reason were the Beelzebubs and their game over scene…

[Flashback]

Marco was with a sleeveless shirt because it was summer, he was currently playing in the computer because he didn't had anything to do and promised to himself to finish the game he was currently playing, Monster Girl Quest.

Right now he was frowning a bit while his hand was on the mouse, clicking skills after skills: Summoning the spirits, Meditation, Serene Demon Sword, Earth Rumbling Decapitation, Lightning Sword Flash.

He read on the fandom wiki that if he could lower their health below the 67%, Alice would help the fight, however their bindings were really annoying, and he consumed too much Stamina Points to continue to heal, and finally he lost all of his HP.

Marco: *Sigh* Well, maybe the next time will be easier…

[3 minutes later]

Marco: …

He looked like someone was eating his mother's flesh in front of him with some ketchup. In front of him, in the screen, there was Luka in the ground, and was mounted from a blue Beelzebub while she used her ovipositor to lay eggs in his rear.

Then the screen went blank and a small menu with "Re-Fight", "Evaluation", and "Back to Monsterpedia" appeared, some moments later of reconsideration about his life choices, he checked the evaluation.

Illias appeared on the screen, she was holding her chin and covering her mouth while her left hand was on her left side, she had a suspicious face.

Illias: ..................

Then another image with a surprised Illias with her right hand on her left side of her chest appeared, her eyes were wide open and her mouth had a small "o" shape, the other hand was behind her back.

Illias: .....................

Then she closed her eyes, and a text appeared under her.

Illias: *Sigh* Their attacks are powerful and dangerous. You will want both Sylph's evasion and Gnome's reduction to reduce as much damage as possible. In addition, Gnome is essential due to their powerful binds. Sylph isn't required, but dodging attacks every so often will help a lot.

The path forward will open if you can just manage to defeat one of them… Now go, oh brave Luka. You must not allow those disgusting fly monsters to reach the outside world.

[Back]

His eye twitched a bit from the memory, but his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a song coming from an unknown source.
