The Goddess Is Obsessed With Me [Complete]

Chapter 49

2 hours ago...

"What quest should we do today?"

Before the embarrassing scene I encountered took place, I needed to know what had transpired. Hence, let's rewind to 2 hours ago when I was more determined than ever to proceed with the main quest.

"How about this one?"

While deciding on a quest for today's adventure, I made a suggestion to Erina, who was scratching her chin with an indecisive expression.

"Subdue the Sea Monster?"

Mumbling the quest title, Erina tilted her head, showing a somewhat unfamiliar reaction.

The quest I chose was closely related to my objective within the game's main story. Whether by coincidence or predetermined fate, while adventuring with Erina, she often chose the main quest on her own, even without my guidance. However, she didn't always pick the main quests. On rare occasions, she would select unrelated, quirky quests. Whenever that happened, the progression of the main story would slow down, and my ultimate goal of reaching the game's ending would be delayed. I'd always been slightly irritated by that. So, seeing Erina in doubt, I casually and naturally made a suggestion.

"At the southern Golden Sand Beach..."

I elaborated on the quest details, ensuring it wouldn't be a hindrance to others.

The quest read:

"Recently, at the southern Golden Sand Beach, there have been increasing sightings of an unidentified creature. Due to this, several tourists seeking relaxation have reported actual harm. Rumors suggest the creature is roughly the size of 10 adult men and suddenly appears, attacking tourists. We, from the tourism department, have dispatched several teams to subdue it, but strangely, none have even witnessed the monster. Yet, attacks on tourists continue. It seems the creature cleverly targets unarmed individuals. Therefore, we've decided to close the beach until this issue is resolved. The details below outline the known characteristics of this creature. We sincerely request your assistance."

After reading the quest details, Erina raised an eyebrow in slight annoyance but soon nodded in agreement.

"They seem to be quite desperate, even willing to cover other expenses."

Probably referring to food, accommodation, and transportation costs for traveling to and from the beach. Given that the beach-based industries haven't been profitable during this hot summer, it must be an urgent matter for them.

"And there's a detailed description of the creature below."

As mentioned earlier in the quest, the creature's characteristics and other details were listed.

Physical Appearance:

A mix of human and animal features, possessing numerous arms.

Creature Traits:

Highly intelligent, known to target only those who can't fight back.

It's recommended to act as tourists and wait for the creature to strike before trying to subdue it.

All required equipment and other costs will be supported by us.

"So, we pretend to be tourists and wait for the creature to target us?"

She casually stretched, speaking nonchalantly as if it was no big deal.

"Should we go with a real vacation mindset? I mean, technically, we're going to work, but it's been a while since we felt the sea breeze..."

It seemed like she was already imagining a fun rest in her head.

"Harold, what do you think?"

She looked at me with hopeful eyes, hinting that she wanted me to join in and have a good time with her. "I guess we'll find out when we get there... But as you just said, we're not here to play, so we shouldn't get distracted, right?"
