Looking at the stunned red-haired girl in front of her, She put up a wry smile on her face while wondering,<em>How did ite to this? Maybe if I had stopped midway, this situation wouldn''t happen, but if I didn''t save her right on time she would have been dead. I didn''t expect the investigation quest to ended up like this,</em>with those thoughts in mind, She looked up and the memory of three hours earlier shed within her eyes.


    "So, how was your stalker day for today? Find anything new?"


    Ria asked when She had just stepped into the room, but from the look of her face, she understood that it''s the same result as the other days. Heaved a helpless sigh, She fall onto the bed before opening her mouth and said.


    "The people she was stalking hadn''t done anything strange up until now yet, she was still firmly trailing right behind them. It had been three days now and it resulted in nothing, I''m starting to get tired of this."


    Ria nodded her head in an understanding manner before chuckling softly to herself. The day when She hade upon the sight of Angelica trailing on someone, she had thought that the quest would beplete right on that day, but even now, the quest was still there.<em>That was three days ago! If this continues, I might just inquire in person- no, ''forcefully'' inquire so that I canplete the quest!</em>


    "What are you going to do now?"


    "I guess I''ll just ent-"


    Before She could finish her words, the phone in her pocket vibrates intensively. With a confused look on her face, She pulled the phone out before touching the screen with her finger to unlock it but when she saw the caused of it, She was stunned on the spot. If Ria had not called her out, she would have stayed like that for a couple of minutes.


    『 The Investigation Quest has been updated! 』


    『 The system urges the host to check it immediately! 』


    "She? Did something happen?"


    "Uh... no, wait."


    After pulling herself together, She clicked onto the quest category before clicking on the quest on top of other quests with an exmation mark on it.

    Punishment Upon Failure: Leveling System will stop functioning for three years. 』


    "!!! What the hell is that girl doing over there?! From all the other ces she could go, why go there?!"


    She couldn''t help but cursed under her breath, and without wasting a second for time to pass, She told the important bits to Ria while opening the only window of the room. Once she was sure that no one is around, She jumped out of the window without any hesitation, leaving the stunned Ria behind. While she was jumping off from rooftop to another, She didn''t want to cause any unnecessary problem on the way there so she would submerge herself within the shadow when there are people around. If not for the urgency, She would have been thrilled experiencing jumping from rooftop to another, but that would be for another time.


    On the way there, She was also using her brain wondering how did Angelica happen to be there of all ces.Did she know about the Earth Dragon living there? <em>Nah, that''s possible but so far that I had been trailing after her, never once did she ever pay a visit there. Then the other possibility is...</em>


    "It must be those guy who she was following, huh? They must havee here to investigate for a reason I didn''t know, and today, they must have found out about that monster''s existence on the mountain. I had thought she had stopped trailing like any other days, that was why I went home first but to think ite to this."


    And if they had stepped over the line of the Earth Dragon''s territory, they would have been attacked by now. If that red-haired girl still trailing behind, she would be caught in their predicament, no doubt that must have happened.


    <em>Even after all the grinding, I don''t think I can take that Earth Dragon just yet, that monster''s level is too high.</em> If not for the punishment if she failed the quest, She would have not gone to save the girl, after all, she was not close enough to risk her life for her matters. If it''s just a kidnapping case like Yuna, She wouldn''t mind putting her noisy hand into the matters but this is different.


    Once she arrived near the mountain, She immediately spread her awareness deep into the mountain, searching for that one presence. It didn''t take her long to locked the presence into her mind before sprinting toward the location. The jade bracelet on her suddenly disappeared before a handgun materialized in her hands, though not before equipping the mask she had taken from the inventory.


    As She ascended higher and deeper into the mountain, she could feel many presences around Angelica slowly dispersed one by one. When she arrived on the scene, a massacre between humans and a huge monster was happening in her sight. What else can she say other than massacre when the humans were helpless against it as even when they tried running away from it, and though it was slow, they couldn''tpletely dodge the earthquake attack that the monster had conjured at them. In a corner of her view, She could see a familiar red-haired girl on her knees, holding onto her bloody arms while staring at the tragedy happening in front of her.


    From the fear in her eyes and the bloody wounds on her body, She could tell that Angelica was in no condition to move, don''t even mention running away. Since the others were attracting the attention of the Earth Dragon, she could use this chance to save her, and without hesitation, She immediately sprints toward Angelica. When Shi makes her appearance known, all the people on the battle immediately give a cautious look at her. And before they could say anything, the masked girl picked up the injured girl from Ernest Family before swiftly retreated. Though they wanted to stop the masked girl, with the Earth Dragon keep attacking them, they couldn''t do anything but defend themselves while some others also use this chance to escape on their own. In the end, the only one left alive is the huge alligator with menacing slit eyes that of a dragon, the Earth Dragon.
