Ranking System

Three days had passed, and tomorrow was the party. I asked if Reina could join, but she was denied since she wasn't part of the organization.

Nene and I were now inside the IUC headquarters. Linsey told us to stay here for the night, so we could get everything prepared.

"Charles. Since your maid didn't tell you much about the party, let me explain it."

The two of us were in Linsey's office. We had arrived thirty minutes ago, and it was now late at night. There were two hours left before midnight hit. And that's when we get our monthly reward.

"But Boss~! I have never been there~! I don't know the details very well~!"

"That's because you slept in."

Nene looked away, unable to look Linsey in the eye. Linsey sighed and continued to speak.

"The party will start first thing during the afternoon, and many talents will be there. Not only will there be talents, but also people with some influence within the organization."

"At the party, we will be playing some games. Since you're representing me, you better crush everyone."

"Especially that bitch Amanda. If you crush her representative, I will reward you handsomely."

From the way Lisney talked. She must dislike the person named Amanda. I wonder what she did to Linsey for wanting to crush her.

"What are these games that you keep mentioning?"

"You'll be competing with the talents coming to the party. I don't know precisely what competition you will be doing but expect some fighting.

"With your current capabilities, you shouldn't have it too hard. But be wary of those people from the third-rank world and above. Our organization has people from the fifth rank."

This was my first time hearing it. Unless I want to win, I have to make sure to kill them. But this is a party. I doubt I could get away scot-free if I did that.

"What if my skill accidentally kills someone?"

"That would be troubling. You're 213th ranked overall. I doubt you would need to go so far to use your skill."

"Here, take this. This is a third-rank physique capsule. You won your bet, and here it is."

Ah, that's right. Linsey and I made a bet on a day when she called me. She was bored and made a dungeon/maze for the prisoners. I had won a bet, and she got me a third-rank physique capsule.

I had already used one from Reina's mom. So the second one shouldn't be as tough as the first one.

"I would use that now if I were you. You could never be too prepared."

"Is there a place where I could use this?"

"Follow your maid. She knows the place."

"Thanks, Boss. See you in a few hours."

With that said, Nene and I left the room. I don't know where we were going, but I trusted Nene enough for her to lead the way.

"Nene. Where are you going?"

"We're going to a private bath~."

Arriving, Nene swiped a card at the door, and it opened. The place was clean, and I used the shower room before going in. Now that I was in the bath, I took the capsule and let the item do its thing.

[Monthly Received Updated]

[Reward: Random Monster Egg.]

"..."

Nene and I looked at one another. We both have received our monthly gift. My gift, I don't know how I feel about it.

"Nene, what did you get?"

The cat girl is now in the 794 rank in the overall ranking. So what she got should be decent.

"I got this~! What about you, Master~?"

What Nene got was a giant golden hammer. She got an artifact for a weapon for her monthly reward. The hammer was even larger than her body.

"I got a random monster egg."

Then getting the egg out, a giant egg the size of my head popped into my hands. What am I supposed to do with this thing?

"Monster egg~! Could I touch it~?"

"Sure."

I handed the egg to Nene. Do I sell it? Or should I raise it? I don't have a clue about how I should raise an animal.

"Nene, what should I do with it?"

"You're not going to raise it?"

Nene looked surprised. Even her playful voice disappeared. She looks like she wants to keep it.

"Should I? I don't have a clue on how I could raise it."

"Are you sure? Tamed monsters are popular. They could be monsters from the fourth or fifth rank if you're lucky."

"Then do you want it? You'll be a better person to take care of it better than me."

Even if Nene is clumsy and acts like a child. She knows how to take care of things better than me."

"Could I~?"

Nene looked excited once I offered her to have the egg, and she happily accepted it.

The effects of the capsule were still in progress, my body was aching, but it was something I could easily shake off.

Another hour had passed, and the effectiveness was entirely worn off. This time the body strengthening lasted for three hours.

"Master~! Did you finish~?"

Nene, seeing that I was now fully relaxed, asked. I nodded, confirming the process was done and lay on the water.

"Let's leave. I need all the rest I need."

"Ok~!"

After finishing washing, I left the bathroom along with Nene. The egg was still in Nene's arms, and she looked carefully at it.

It brought a small smile to my heart to see how Nene could be like that. This isn't something that I would usually see.

Nene then brought us to a room big enough for the two of us to sleep in. I then stripped and lay on the bed.

"I'll get something for the egg to lay down on."

Before Nene went to bed with me, she left the room to get the monster egg comfy. I wonder what Nene would get from the egg. But that's for another time.
