Zeke turned his head towards the source of that feminine scream, and found a noble-looking woman running away from a giant sea cucumber rolling after her.

"Ahh! Get away from me!"

From the giant sea cucumber, another woman's voice came out. "I'm hungry… Even someone like you is fine, let me suck out your energy…"

"Stop!" The giant sea cucumber almost reached her.

And then, a kick flew at the giant sea cucumber, making her roll away from the noble woman.

"Ouch!" The woman inside the sea cucumber yelled out as the kick reached her. The sea cucumber stabilized itself and a red haired naked woman popped out from it, glaring at the one who dared to kick her.

[Notification(1)]

Zeke opened the quest list and saw the quest.

[She's a TRAP!: Save yourself. Reward: 5 Bonus Points.]

"A trap…?" Zeke glanced at the noble woman with a suspicious look, there was something wrong with her, but he couldn't pinpoint the source of his discomfort… Was she a man or what?

Zeke took Angel Halo and looked in front of him, seeing the Sea Cucumber Girl entering back inside her sea cucumber and roll towards him.

Since the quest gave him that much bonus points, it means that it must be a easy or medium-level quest. For safety, he used Monsterpedia.

[Sea Cucumber Girl: An extremely greedy monster, they infest the shorelines. Their staple food is male semen. When they find a healthy male, they attack and suck his body into her mouth. Looking like a huge female genital, she is able to control every muscle inside of her to force the man to ejaculate. Able to shrink her inner wall, the Sea Cucumber Girl is able to give an amazingly pleasurable squeezing stimulation. Like that, she can force her catch to ejaculate until they are sucked dry.]

"Ok, nothing-" Zeke jumped over the rolling Sea Cucumber Girl, and finished. "-interesting…"

However, the Sea Cucumber Girl wasn't stopping and rolled towards the noble woman. He narrowed his eyes and threw Angel Halo between the Sea Cucumber Girl and the woman.

The giant sea cucumber bounced from the sword and jumped over the woman, landing at the other side. The woman held an amazed look on her face and turned towards Zeke, who landed in the ground.

Then he dashed towards the Sea Cucumber Girl and grasped Angel Halo. "The early strike decides the fight!"

He reached the minster and anchored his feet on the sand, and pushed his entire body forward, using Thunder Thrust.

Angel Halo penetrated her sea cucumber, sticking inside the monster.

"Kya?!" From inside, the monster screamed in surprise.

Zeke grasped tightly the handle of Angel Halo and slowly lifted the monster up, before slamming her in the ground again.

He pulled up Angel Halo from the giant sea cucumber and struck 2 more times, leaving gashes over the surface.

Dark magic was flowing out from these injuries, weakening the Sea Cucumber Girl. And then Zeke gave the last attack in the hole from where the human part of the monster was hiding, striking her directly.

The monster shrieked in pain and glowed, the scream disappeared, and so did the glow. From where the Sea Cucumber Girl stood, there was a natural-sized sea cucumber.

Zeke let out a long sigh to expel the small bit of tiredness in his body, and sheathed Angel Halo in its scabbard.

Suddenly, someone hugged him from behind. "Thank you very much, my hero!"

The woman looked very happy at what Zeke did for her, so, since it was just a gesture of gratitude, Zeke let himself be hugged…

...But… There is no notification.

"Uhm… Would you… Please be my husband? I want to have your babies." The woman asked with a blush on her face.

As soon as those words entered in Zeke's ears, he grasped the woman's arms and pulled himself out from the hug. "Now wait a second there! How did we get from being strangers to asking to set up a family?!"

"Huh? Isn't that how it works in the human world?" The lady curiously asked.

"In the huma…" Zeke paused, and attempted to use Monsterpedia on the woman as he started to have some flashbacks regarding this situation in the game.

[Shellfish Girl: An aquatic monster that often infests beaches. Able to catch men off guard by her human female form, she catches men in her shell and squeezes out their semen. Since they do not generally eat too much, the Shellfish Girl doesn't kill her catch by sucking out too much. For some reason, they tend to fall in love very quickly, claiming that they have met their "Man of Destiny".

Once they fall in love, they will confine him in her shell and forcefully mate. They mate by wrapping the man's penis directly in her fallopian tube. Unfortunately for the male, once the mating finishes, he and the sea-dweller are bound for life. They will live out the rest of their lives together as a married couple.]

So that means the "She's a TRAP!" thing…

"No way! First you need to know each other a bit more, then you can think of marriage."

"Oh…" The Shellfish Girl in disguise let out, before she asked. "What's your favorite color?"

"...Purple?"

"Alright! Now we can get married!" The Shellfish Girl threw herself at Zeke, who stepped away. "No!"

The disguised monster stopped on her steps and asked. "Then… I'm no good, master?"

"Can you just get away? I don't want to have anything to do with this bullshit of marriage for a while."

The Shellfish Girl pouted, while her body started to morph. Her skirt curled upwards, turning into a giant shell. In the end of her transformation, she stood naked inside a shellfish, surrounded by tentacles with orifices.

"I see… So I need to be forceful about it. That's right, if I remain shy then I will never get an husband!"

Zeke unsheathed Angel Halo, not seeing any other possibility… He could run away, but he didn't want to risk losing 5 Bonus Points.

Seeing him taking out his sword, the Shellfish Girl barely closed her shell, leaving a gap from where she can look from.

Zeke raised Angel Halo and slammed it on the monster's shell, but it just bounced off, surprising him.

"Darling, you will never break my shell, please just accept my proposal and stay with me forever!"

"I'mma breaking it."

"You will not."

"I will."

"You won't."

"I will!"

"You won't!"

Zeke raised Angel Halo again, and his eyes turned red from Evil Soul. "I will!"

He brought down his sword, and surprising the Shellfish Girl, her shell broke.

The broken fragments released a black energy, caused from Angel Halo's curse, but the blade didn't stop there and reached the Shellfish Girl, slicing her body in two.

The attack that was worth 160 strength points also broke the lower part of the shell, effectively splitting the monster in two.

"...I will."

The two parts of the monster glowed, and they turned into a small shell.

Zeke raised Angel Halo from the ground and put it back in his sheath, meanwhile another notification signaled the end of the fight.

Alice went back at his side and looked at the shell with an annoyed expression. "What an annoyingly forceful monster. A monster girl like that only ruins our reputation…"

She picked up the shell and looked at it. "Your new appearance looks a little painful, but… I hope you change your ways next time."

Her tail swiped on the sand, making a hole, and then she buried the sealed Shellfish Girl and the Sea Cucumber Girl.

Zeke sighed and said. "Let's go, in 3 days we should reach San Ilia."

"Alright." Alice shrugged and followed Zeke towards west, while he updated his profile with his new 5 Bonus Points.
