A familiar blueish transparent window snapped into existence beside me.
「BITCH ಠ益ಠ Hey! Get your hands off my host. Let him choose!」
The woman slowly let go of my wrist and stared at the floating window hovering in front of us.
"Oh wow…" she snickered softly. "It… talks too. That's amazing."
Then she casually wrapped an arm around my shoulder and leaned closer to my ear.
"Well, let me tell you something," she whispered. "Ask it to increase your reward. Since you can do it… remember, your quest was Extreme. I saw it earlier when I was above the tower."
"Trust me. And ask me anything."
She stepped back, clapping her hands once. "Alright! Go ahead."
The text inside the window suddenly shifted.
「ಠ益ಠ Okay. Now, Si Hon… choose your reward.」
…Oh. Now that I think about it…
Why are my rewards so low for an Extreme-difficulty quest?
Well… I guess I was fine with it anyway.
I cleared my throat.
"So… now that I think about it…"
I slowly stood up and side-eyed the window.
