Raven walked along the morning path; last night they did nothing but watch stupid romance and crime films together; after he ate, Lilith returned to her usual childish self, that shine in her eyes seeming to have vanished like some fit or trance.

"She was more relaxed and clingy, though..." He thought, seeing the usual bus passing by; the old man's face seemed shocked, then smiling warmly, his wrinkles growing before the bus vanished in the distance.

Today Raven wished to walk to the bureau instead of taking the bus; his skin felt great as the morning breeze washed over his body, today the sun was out, as he wore a black shirt with a purple tie, the same shade as Lilith's eyes, somehow he felt a little more confident and less sombre with something the reminded him of her presence.

The killing of those thugs no longer bothered him immensely, but he didn't feel comfortable knowing he'd taken human lives.

'Forget it; let's head to the bureau and hope Emily is working today.'

He placed the serpent's head, various fangs and ears from the goblins into his amethyst ring. He wanted her to help him process them, get some more credits, and move towards improving his guild rank.

No, he had a class; it was almost time to help Lilith get hers.

That's because the guild accepted anyone who had already managed to gain a class, whether a monster or not.

Because sometimes, people might be in the wrong place, and a new monolith would spawn, sucking everyone in the nearby inside and have to finish their alternate dungeon level, be killed by monsters or die slowly without food or water.

Raven didn't want to hold any prejudice towards others. However, the moment he saw passing humans with adventurer's gear, the purple energy inside his body began to pulsate, the anger he felt boiling.

'I won't party with strangers, at least not until I can grow as a man and accept everything.'

His steps were brisk and powerful as he began to approach the bureau's huge towering black figure, the same elegant entrance that made it look like a top-class hotel,

Clack!

Raven's mind was too clouded right now, feeling a trapped in a macabre mood as the faces and things he had done vibrant inside his mind.

He pushed open the first doors, entering inside as the scent of flora and sweet flowers filled his nose; entering the second glass doors, noticing once again the same cafe was filled with women, not making the same mistake twice, he saw the [Girl's Only] sign and maybe realised this was a permanent thing.

Suddenly a charming voice sounded from the desk, her beauty seemingly even more incredible than before, no longer hiding her roots or the slight green tint of her skin; Emily waved to him with her hand and several vines with several colourful flowers sprouting and teasing Raven.

"You didn't even call me back and just vanished! I thought something bad happened to you!"

"Do you know how worried I was when we found out!? But your phone was answered by some annoying woman that kept saying you don't want some skanky ass hoes!" 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜

Thanks to her words, Raven remembered he had left his phone at home when going to the dungeon with that group of bastards. The voice was likely Lilith's.

'I'll make sure to scold her when we get home...'

"Why do you ask that?" He wondered, feeling apprehensive about whether she knew he was now a murderer.

Instantly before he could even react or hear a response, a green flash filled his eyes, causing him to feel stunned; a soft body, both flesh and vines wrapped tightly around his body, as her head only came to his chest, her soft hands tapped his chest.

"I'm so sorry... I had no idea they might be the demi hunters... but you didn't answer my phone for me to warn you... then all of their signals died... yours went to near death... I was so worried!"

Her beautiful eyes gleamed with slight tears as she looked up towards him; Raven felt a sense of relief; the feelings and emotions were so powerful at first, he wondered if she did it on purpose, unable to give a complete response, his huge thumbs brushed against her cheeks wiping away her tears, as her soft cheeks were like bao buns wobbling and squishing under his force.

"I'm sorry, I left my phone at home, and that girl is a little cheeky. As for those people....I..."

"Don't... It's fine... I know..."

Emily's hands wrapped around his giant fists and narrowed her eyes, the vines around her body all bursting with vibrance and vitality from his body.

"Oh? Do you feel better? I can feel how energetic you are..." Emily muttered as she blushed at the amount of vigour and energy oozing from his body, almost making her entire body shudder; having never eaten so much, she felt a little light-headed.

"I..." Raven not wanting to divulge too much of his secrets as the bureau card didn't show half of his attributes or the information he could see.

Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, lifting the dizzy girl and carrying her to the desk, the vines from her body all wrapping around him, coiling his arms and stroking his skin as she looked at him with a dazed and embarrassed face.

"S...sorry... because you have such a powerful vitality, my race subconsciously saps the surroundings for such things, this is why we are a D-Class danger level... sometimes we can reach B-Class or greater depending on age and hunger levels...."

Emily looked embarrassed, her vines still stuck to his arms, her little cheeks turning brighter red as she noticed and pulled them away.

"Don't worry, I know you've done things to help me, and even yesterday, don't be so hard on yourself. You were helping me, right? 30 credits for a simple task; that's more than some Grade-F Adventures get for quests."

Her roots began to join together with the soft dirt under her desk, tapping the black marble with branch-like appendages; looking away from him as she tried to recover, his body sat on the edge of her desk, filling her with a powerful burst of his wonderous, delicious vitality and masculine scent that caused the poor Emily to be flustered.

'So for the ones that need essence, it doesn't have to be sexual, just being close, huh?' Raven thought upon noticing her admission.

"Well... I wanted you to keep coming and choosing my desk..."

'Choosing her desk? What does she mean.' He thought.

Instead, he changed the subject and just wanted to clarify one thing for her, not wanting it to affect their dynamic.

"Emily..."

"Mmmm?"

"Can you not pair me with others again, at least... Until I'm ready?"

"Definitely... I will check their backgrounds properly next time... forgive my lack of professional conduct."

"Nah, you helped me a lot, so don't feel so down."

He was too used to messing with Lilith, rubbing her head or playing fighting with her.

Thus Raven's hand reached out and began to stroke the soft hair of Emily; it was silky and smooth to touch, like a soft layer of water covered the strands, as she looked up with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

When he tried to pull away, the vines from her body started to wrap around his hand as she rubbed his palm against her head with more power.

"Just a bit... A little more...." Her soft voice sounded, the eyes that watched him like a begging puppy."

Raven ignored these small things after reading the book before bed about monster girls and the information the strange manticore stone imbued in his mind. He realised that some races were different or had weird habits that shouldn't be interrupted or laughed at.

'She's just taking some nutrition like a cute, big-breasted plant in my garden...'

"How come there are never any other adventurer's here? I am not that special yet, haha."

"To me, you are..." She whispered with a slight pout; Raven heard it but just smiled and pretended he didn't hear, stroking her head and hair more thoroughly as her eyes narrowed.

"Ahem!" Emily cleared her throat, then continued, trying to resume her customer service voice, despite her dancing vines and the soft ones coiling his body with pretty flowers and petals blooming.

"That's because this desk is private and reserved mostly for high-level female adventurers... mostly those of a monster race or those needing essence to live..."

"Hmmm? Did I become a woman!?" Raven acted shocked, his face with wide eyes and an open mouth, looking at his own body, grabbing his chest, then crotch with an exaggerated sight as if he thought it might be gone.

His stupid actions caused Emily to giggle from his horrible sense of humour.

"No... you see, the bureau buildings are all built in former monoliths; the top brass will subdue them, then change the rules inside to suit them. Once you entered the first door, did you never find it strange that there was a slight delay and dizziness before the door opened for you?"

"Hmmmm... I just saw the pretty face at the desk..."

"Ahh.... stop, we're already going on a date~ no need to butter me up!" Emily said shyly, despite the various roses and other romantic flowers sprouting in her green hair like a beautiful bouquet of loveliness.

'I just said the truth, though... but is this woman cute? How is she not married? Miriam, forgive me, but Friday you're probably going to die... This woman pushes all the right buttons...'

"Well... When a person enters the door, a strange mechanism will scan them; of the various desks, there are some suited to humans, elves and other races to avoid issues as you see in those stupid novels where a newbie is hazed or has to fight a stupid duel with a wastrel."

'Emily likes to watch anime, huh.... is she also into R18+ stuff?' Raven's mind wandered to finding a certain manticore watching those things labelled [Orc X Monster Girls] on the laptop at 3 am last night.

Raven shook his head, then continued to listen to her conversation; as she flicked her wrist, the walls of both sides of the building vanished; on the right was a room filled with hundreds, maybe more human adventurers, with over 8 receptionists constantly shouting and calling them over, it was chaotic and wild as some even started arguing at the desk.

"Also, you are treated differently for various reasons; firstly, your mother was a high-ranked adventurer, so sending you with those brutes would be stupid. Second, because of your high vitality and recovery, the monster girls here would benefit most from your presence; even if they come just after you leave, they will feel perkier and more vibrant."

Emily looked at him; her lips opened with her last point spoken in a less sultry but more cute and quiet voice. "The last reason, it's because I found you attractive... and wanted to get to know you after reading your information."

He looked at her with strange eyes briefly, then gave a confident smile, ruffling her hair, before looking at the other side.

To the right was a quiet room filled with monster girls who seemed more of the beast type, orderly approaching and submitting their quest rewards and skipping outside with their cute fluffy tails and ears.

"Oh... you like beast girls?" Emily asked, her voice a little thorny as Raven watched the bodies of the attractive beast women, who were very rare outside in public as they were usually very isolated to protect themselves and weaker males due to the existence of heat, which drove them almost mad once a month.

"Ah, those tight abs and powerful muscles... not to mention their big butts and fluffy tails... what red-blooded man doesn't love such amazing women... Argh!?"

He felt a slight prick in his arm as her vines seemed to poke them with some thorns as she turned away. His mouth turned into a large smile, leaning close to her soft, petal-like ears.

"But I prefer the cute, dryad girls the most how their colourful flowers bloom, showing their emotions and feelings; such cute and honest girls are more wife material."

"Hahi!?" Emily's body shot backwards, her vines all suddenly swaying and fluttering in the air, filled with a myriad of different flowers and petals, from those symbolising romance, lust and passion, to those for embarrassment and shock.

"Don't forget our date on Friday, my cute dryad, we'll be meeting at 4 pm, and I'll take you out to eat; make sure to message me what you would prefer to eat. You look the most captivating when all your petals and vines bloom."

"Ahhhh!" She watched him walk away quickly, her little hands hammering her marble desk as she tried to still her racing heart.

"Don't compliment our flowers and bloom so much.... beautiful... captivating...." Her voice became more sultry as she watched his body slowly vanish out the doors. "Because those kinds of words will make a dryad attached.... obsessed... don't think I'll release you from my root's now... my future sexy orc husband~ fufu!"
