The campfire was still burning when the demi-human girls finished eating. Some of them even looked like they were holding back tears while holding the remaining meat in their hands. Not because they were sad. It was a feeling of happiness because there was a human who was kind to them.
Takuya watched them with a blank look. He scratched his head. He wanted to ask something, but the cat girl was the one who dared to step forward first. She took one step ahead with respect. Her body was still shaking.
"M Master..." she said softly.
Takuya tilted his head. "What is it?"
The girl lowered her head, her ears drooping. She was hesitant, but when she saw her other companions, she forced herself to speak.
"Please forgive me if this sounds rude," she said in a soft and unsure voice.
"Say it."
The cat girl felt relieved when she heard what Takuya said. She became more confident.
"Can you save our other friends too? I am sure they will be useful to you. Some of them are fighters who can help you," the cat girl said.
Takuya stayed silent. He already had another plan, which was to go to the palace and cause chaos there to take revenge and steal the treasures in the palace, then leave with a lot of stolen wealth. Live rich and become a great anti hero.
That was an amazing plan in Takuya's mind. He felt that he should do that first, but he also did not want to ignore the request of the cat girl in front of him.
"I was already..."
"There are also some children there. They really need you," the cat girl said again.
The eyes of the demi-human girls were focused on Takuya. That made Takuya scratch his head again. He was a little moved by the hopeful looks of the demi-human girls. As a man, of course his heart was touched.
But his plan still felt more important and bigger.
"I want to ask one thing," Takuya said.
The demi-human girls looked at Takuya with serious faces. They wanted to hear what Takuya was going to ask. They hoped it was good news.
But before Takuya could ask, something suddenly appeared in front of his face.
[Notification Alert]
[Protect the Demi-Human Village]
Reward:
+50 Servant Potential
Takuya's eyes widened. It was a huge number. It was bigger than what he expected. Fifty new servants was a lot. It would increase his stats by a very large amount.
After seeing that notification, Takuya started to hesitate about the original plan he wanted to do.
He looked at the demi-humans in front of him. He thought about what decision he should make. After a while, he let out a breath and finally nodded.
"Alright, I will help you," Takuya said.
The faces of the demi-human girls became bright. They looked relieved and happy after hearing Takuya's words. This was very good news for them.
But while the other demi-human girls were happy, the cat girl looked at Takuya with a questioning look.
"Earlier, what were you going to ask?"
Takuya quickly stood up. "Forget it," he said. He looked at Lyssia. "Can we help them?"
Lyssia nodded. "Of course."
Takuya looked at the demi-human girls. They looked very happy. Some of them were even hugging each other.
Takuya opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but something appeared again in front of his face.
[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
[Unlimited Quest Progress Reached]
-10 Servants Recruited
[MISSION COMPLETE]
You have fulfilled the first condition of Unlimited Quest.
All stats increased by 5 percent
Takuya's eyes widened. He was shocked when he saw that notification. This was the first time he had completed his quest and not just once.
It happened four times in a row. Takuya managed to get 40 new servants. That meant he got a 5 percent increase four times.
"I managed to get 40 new servants. If the previous notification is true, that means I will have 90 servants. I only need 10 more servants to complete the main quest. This is amazing. I can become stronger very fast."
Takuya felt that this was crazy. It felt like he had a cheat system. Before this, it felt useless.
"This is even crazier than what I thought," Takuya said.
He looked at the demi-human girls again. He nodded with strong determination.
"Alright, we will leave soon. Do not waste any more time," Takuya said with excitement.
