A/N: First of all, take lots of love from me. Secondly, this chapter is system-heavy, so I won't count the system text toward the story progression's word count; instead, I'll write a longer chapter to make up for it.
————————————————
[Main Mission: Get a beautiful female to like you] [Passed]
[Passing Grade: SSS+ Tier]
[Reward: Angel Machina 12 Transcendent Archangel Frame Model. (Item)]
[Press here to get the reward.]
Huh?!!
Max stared at the system pop-up with a shocked expression. He did not know how or who had fulfilled the condition, but there was now a beautiful woman out there who liked him. Seeing the SSS+ Tier reward, he knew that her beauty must be exceptional.
H…How, system? Is it Jennifer?
[Passing Criteria: The Host had two females like him simultaneously, both considered extremely beautiful by the Host's subjective standards.]
He received another shock when the system answered his question on its own. For a moment, he thought the system had come to life, but that idea quickly faded. It was only explaining how he had performed during the mission based on his actions and why he had received that grade, and Max realized this was also an option he could use to understand his performance better next time.
Two? Wow, what the fuck is happening?
Max was flabbergasted by the situation he was in. He was getting ready for the day and wanted to eat some breakfast, but his circumstances changed all of a sudden. He got two women who liked him, and he got one SSS+ Tier reward.
Wait, last time I got two rewards even though my completion grade was lower tier. System, is there a mistake?
Getting no response from the system, Max got dressed. His hands were getting fidgety from the cold, so he turned the AC up and put on a woolen sweater. He then sat on the couch in the living room. He did not dismiss the system as he usually did, and the whole time, he stared at it nervously.
This reward must be very superior compared to the Palladium Card and Locksmith skill. Sigh!
Max's hand felt cold. He was not sure what to expect from this reward, but after receiving it, he would be able to see the new main mission. He felt both excited and nervous. It felt like he was leveling up, like a game, but in the real world. With a pale finger, he pressed the Get Reward button in front of him.

Tons of system pop-ups flashed in front of Max's eyes, but all he could see now was a woman kneeling in front of him. She appeared out of nowhere and didn't move at all. Max carefully read the whole updated reward section, then dismissed it.
[New Main Mission: Acquire a Real Estate]
[Side Mission: Get a nice motorbike]
Seeing the new mission appear, Max only glanced at it before dismissing it as well. There was someone in front of him, kneeling on the floor. It was a woman with long, lustrous golden hair. She did not move, nor did she make a sound.
"You can get up now."
Shining green eyes, like a beautiful gem, greeted him first. Then she stood up in a mechanical way. She looked completely cold, like a corpse or a robot. She did not breathe, did not blink, and showed no emotion on her face. Max was confused, unsure whether he should speak to her at all, or if talking to her would only make him look foolish.
"Hello?"
Max decided to test the waters. Even if he was speaking to something cold like metal, his calm and slightly restrained greeting made her pink lips tremble. It looked as if she was trying to say something, but she did not have the strength to speak it out loud.
He quickly stood up and stepped closer to her. Even though he was six feet six, he did not need to bend much to bring his ear near her lips. From that, Max guessed she was tall herself, maybe around six feet three or close to it.
"Do you want to tell me something?"
Max gently encouraged her to speak, even offering a small smile in the hope of getting a response. Her beauty far exceeded normal human standards, yet up close, she looked strangely similar to him. Maybe that's why he was not afraid of her. Then her lips gently moved again, this time with a more human-like motion.
"Master, I am your sex doll."
"Wait…What!!!"
A clear, bird-like sweet voice came from her, followed by a mischievous smile. Max was shocked and jumped back a few steps. He then looked at her face again; this time, it carried a clear human expression, as if she had successfully pulled a prank on him.
"You… you can talk?"
"Yes, I can talk and dance, Maxi."
Anything robotic that Max had felt earlier was gone. She twirled around him with a smile on her face. She was wearing an expensive-looking silk power dress. Max was a bit scared of her weird antics, but he knew the system wouldn't reward him with death or harm.
System, can I see her profile or stats?

Max took a few more steps back. The huge system pop-up in front of him was filled with detailed information, but he quickly picked out four things to react to the situation. First, she was a robot. Second, she was mischievous. Third, she had superhuman strength. Fourth, she was absolutely loyal.
He took deep breaths. The morning hunger made his situation worse. He didn't know how to control a woman who danced around him happily. He closed the pop-up and massaged his temples a little.
"Stop."
She did instantly, then looked Max's way with curiosity. Max sat back onto the couch once again. He was not sure where to begin or end with her, so he decided to question her instead.
"How am I going to introduce you? I can't just throw you out."
"Well, I am your stepsister."
"What do you mean?"
Max was extremely confused. Then he saw her take out some documents—her passport and German legal papers, including an ID showing she was eighteen years old. She gently sat beside him and told him that her official identity was his long-lost step-sister. They did not share any parents, but her mother had once been his father's wife.
"I am Machina Karla Weber, and I am basically your permanent bodyguard, now housekeeper, and girlfriend in bed if you need."
"You are very, very naughty. Do you feel hungry?"
"Yes, I can also poop and conceive babies when upgraded to level 2."
"Alright, we are eating outside. Let me show you where I live."
Max was overwhelmed by her presence. She was naughty and completely opposite of what he was. She even took breaths. He couldn't treat her like a doll, could he? So he decided to change the location and think about this later.
Max wore his boots. He planned on having a pizza with her. What surprised Max was that she was humming a latest German song. He understood the system had made her extremely compatible with his current environment.
I must let the landlord know and set some boundaries with her.
As they got out of the elevator, which she pressed the button for the ground floor, she locked his arm very intimately. She didn't give the vibe that she was hatched a few minutes ago at all.
"Max?!"
A slightly loud, surprised voice called out to him as soon as he stepped out of the building. He looked across the road and saw Jennifer standing there, smiling broadly and waving at him excitedly.
Y… Yeah, only this was missing in my life, right?
