[You have 3 Daily Quests! Clear them to receive rewards!]
[Your Side Quest, is still ongoing! Clear it to receive rewards!]
After the recent events, I had even forgotten about the existence of the daily quests. Even more shocking was that I had a side quest which I was apparently still performing. I curiously looked at that first.
[Side Quest (Optional): Save the dhampyrs]
[Status: Ongoing
[Type: Time Limit [5 days remaining]
[Description: The little dhampyrs Ulva has been kidnapped. Who knows what manner of deeds are being performed on her! Save her as quickly as possible!
[Possible Rewards: 1 vampiric servant
5000 gold coins
2000 experience points
50 stat points
I was a bit curious now. The design for this was similar to the first one I saw, but now it had new features attached to it. Giving me the status and type of quest it was. The possible rewards too were quite good. But I didn't like the fact that it termed Ulva as a vampiric servant.
I shrugged then looked at the daily quests instead.
[DAILY QUESTS]
1. Suck the blood of 5x human beings [0/5] (Incomplete)
2. Join a Guild [0/1] (Incomplete)
3. Steal from 10 people [0/10] (Incomplete)
'Ah… stupid system master, giving me stupid daily quests! Is this because I'm in a city?! Tch… ah well, hopefully the reward will be good.'
After that, I remembered the events of the previous night vividly. Last night I went towards the location I noticed Ulva was. It looked like any ordinary part of the city with its poor people and stuff, but after using [Analyst], I realized that they were mostly stronger than the average human. The poor people, that is. This got me very suspicious, so I simply used [Shadow Travel] to move about unannounced and get closer to my target. There, I found carriages being drawn to one ware house surrounded by lots of poor looking people. That wasn't obvious to me at first till the agent pointed it out though.
Then I realized that the entire district was literally a slave prison where they stored all their slaves. To be honest it was unbelievably huge and had top notch security. I could sort of understand why the Boss guy was now feared. If he could put so much of his resources into slavery alone, just how much more did he have for his other businesses? I wanted to go a bit further in, but the agent alerted me to there being a giant crystal creating a protective barrier around the ware house, so I wouldn't be able to sneak in.
From there, I didn't know what to do and my stamina was running low. Meaning I would lose my transformation quickly. Agent told me to use the [Blood Sucking] skill to recover stamina. I was a bit reserved about it at first, but after the first time there was a sort of rush. Like an addictive adrenaline boost that made me go on a rampage.
Well, it was good for the stamina drain and filling up my hunger. But, I doubt I'd be doing something like that often, since I really couldn't control the urges that came with it.
"Hinotori-sama. What are your plans?"
I sat up on the bed and noticed Nukeme down on one knee.
'What are you doing?'
"I just wished to know your plans."
'Well, I'm going to rescue my sister like I said. Nothing more to it. You, are just here to keep me company… Erhm, I mean, learn about the how money works and stuff.'
DING!
[You have 1 pending message from the servant Kawaii]
'Hmm? Kawaii? That's weird… lemme see.'
[Kawai: Meet up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
There were only two words and it was more than confusing. Well, there wasn't much I could expect from a slime that barely had any intelligence.
'Nukeme… I'll be going out for a bit. Take care of things here.'
I told him, before flying out of the room. I was still in my original form, so I had stealth on so I could go about unseen or unnoticed. Since I doubt people would find a bird flying in the sky suspicious. I flew towards the location Kawaii currently was.
It was a mansion, with a few guards patrolling the area. So far, I hadn't found some mages or stuff around, so it would seem I was dealing with regular soldiers. I landed on the building's roof and simply allowed for myself to activate [Shadow Travel] to infiltrate the place.
If I could, I would rescue Ulva and Kawaii today. If not, I would simply wait on Yokino's plan. Still, it definitely was weird that Kawaii and Ulva weren't together. They were quite some distance away from each other.
I reappeared in one of the halls. Unfortunately I hit one of the moving guards.
"Huh? What the hell?"
One guard yelled. I looked up at the one who I crashed into and he was just confused, staring at me.
"What the hell is this thing?"
The other pointed his blade at me and took a defensive stance.
"S-Should I get it off me?"
'Don't bother asking.'
I used [Light shot] to blind the soldier pointing his blade at me simultaneously shooting a web into the other's face, covering his eyes and mouth so he couldn't make any noise. Quickly I drew a sharp arc across his neck with my claws, slicing it open using.
As the other crumpled to his knees, yelling in pain, I jumped at him and stabbed his forehead using [Horn Protrusion]. After which, I shoved both of them into my item box to avoid anyone seeing them.
'Well… that was… ah… did I just… ah… let's just ignore this.'
I activated my stealth and moved through the shadows, searching every nook and cranny of the building. It took me some minutes, but I ended up stumbling upon the master bedroom. That was where Kawaii was according to the map.
"Teehee, Massstewwrrr!"
I turned around and noticed a being slowly approaching me. This thing had half of its body melting away in a horrible grotesque fashion. I took a step back, realizing that I wasn't in my human form. The sight was so bad, I almost felt like puking.

'K-Kawaii?'
"Yeewwwssss!"
She jumped at me, catching me unawares and just all round covering me. Normally, I wouldn't mind this, but right now her [Super Acid Body] was starting to hurt. A lot.
'Get off me! Y-You'll kill me!'
