"Ah~~"
Sylvia suddenly gasped in incredible surprise after feeling someone's pat on her soft butt followed by an unexpected caress.
But before she could understand what just happened, she found herself teleported into a dark forest along with Aria.
"What happened? Are you alright?"
Aria, who was close to her, of course heard her gasp and asked worriedly. She thought she might have been influenced by the teleportation.
She heard it could affect someone who had low mental power, like Sylvia. After all, she did faint in the practical class before and left early.
Not only her, but Aurelia and Evan also looked at her; the latter looked particularly worried.
"N-nothing... d-don't worry, I was just a bit startled."
Sylvia found that everyone was looking at her, and hurriedly stopped her hand that was about to caress her butt where the lingering warmth still teased her skin. Her face was already flushed red with shame.
After all, she couldn't just say she felt someone patting and caressing her butt just now, could she?
Not when she knew that someone was...
"What happened? Where are we?"
...this bastard Soren Kingswell.
'Damn pervert, how dare you?'
The moment Soren got teleported into the forest, he felt Sylvia's death glare piercing his body.
If looks could kill, he would be dead already.
After all, unlike before, he really went a bit far this time
Unlike yesterday, he didn't even hide and directly feel her up when she was about to teleport.
Sylvia was so angry that she really wanted to beat this guy up in front of everyone. But her rationality stopped her, or rather, her shyness.
She really didn't want anyone to notice what he had just done. What if they also realized what happened yesterday?
She wouldn't be able to show her face to them anymore.
So, even though she was unwilling, she still reined in her anger, trying hard to appear normal.
"Hmm? Sylvia, are you alright? I think I just heard you yelp."
But this damn pervert just wouldn't leave her alone. Instead, he looked at her so innocently, as if he wasn't the reason behind her embarrassing yelp.
For a moment, even Sylvia was confused about whether he was the one who had just slapped her.
"I-I'm f-fine…"
The poor girl could barely reply without showing anything on the outside. Unable to endure Soren's behavior any longer, Sylvia finally turned her head away and stared into the dark forest instead.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Shrsss..."
"Someone is here..."
Fortunately for her, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the rustling noise coming from behind a tree.
"It's a Goblin."
Soren's eagle eyes immediately picked out a small, hunched figure with green, scaly skin, sharp yellow eyes, and jagged teeth.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as he spoke, Evan drew his sword while Aurelia readied her staff.
*Piercing Shot*
But before they could do anything, Soren's arrow shot forward, impaling the tree and the goblin behind it in an instant.
"Ugh..."
The goblin died without even realizing who attacked, its eyes wide open.
"It seems we were teleported near a goblin settlement. Be careful."
Soren walked to the goblin's corpse, examined it, and spoke. Everyone could see that this was just an ordinary goblin, not even a warrior.
Which meant they might have arrived near one of the goblins' bases.
This F-rank dungeon was called Goblin Nest, so it was possible that there were many settlements inside.
From their location, it was clear they had been teleported to the edge of the dark forest, while their objective lay at its center.
"Yeah... judging by its level, it seems to be just a low-rank one. It shouldn't be hard to kill them all."
Evan lowered his body and examined the corpse carefully.
"From its footprints, the nest is probably close. Let's go."
He concluded after surveying the surroundings and then led the way cautiously.
With this first kill, their adventure in the F-rank dungeon officially began. Their plan was to use these random settlements to train their teamwork and eventually defeat the Goblin Chieftain.
As long as they became proficient in using their skills and working together, they could level up efficiently.
Evan led the way, everyone following behind, while Soren leisurely tagged along.
But unlike the others, who stayed wary of danger, he was focused on the prompt he had just received from the system.

'It seems the rewards from the side quests are slightly lower than normal,' Soren thought, looking at the screen.
'But that's to be expected. Besides, completing the side quests actually increases the progress of the Main Quest.'
He wondered whether Sylvia would magically become his if he completed the main quest like this.
But recalling all those vulgar side quests, he figured that wouldn't even be his biggest worry if she actually let him do them to her.
'But her butt feels just as squishy as her breasts. If only I could touch them without clothes…'
He thought remembering that soft sensation just now, inadvertently glancing at Sylvia only to meet her gaze head-on.
Surprisingly, she was also looking at him, too, although not as kindly as him.
'It seems she is quite angry this time,' he noted as her hidden glare was piercing.
Seeing her like that, Soren just smiled at Sylvia innocently, making her pout before turning away immidiatley. To be honest, he found her incredibly cute.
Just as he thought, this girl didn't immidiatley reveal him after his mischievousness.
After all, compared to playing with her naked breast in the infirmary, just a light tap on her butt seemed too mild.
She was just startled that he dared do that to her openly, as he didn't see 'hatred' emotion on her panel yet.

[Chastity: Intact]
[Current Emotion: Flustered, Annoyed, Slight Anger, Thrilled]

'Maybe, if I play my cards right, I can complete a few more side quests with her.'
Soren couldn't help but think like that after seeing her current emotion, his gaze lingering briefly on Sylvia's curvy figure before he quickly looked away.
As long as he was discreet, maybe she would allow it. After all, she always seemed thrilled when he did something unexpected.
"Hmm?"
Just as Soren was making plans, he noticed someone watching him; someone who definitely wasn't Sylvia.
'Aria?'
Surprisingly, the gaze belonged to the little elf, who immediately became flustered when their eyes met and turned away abruptly.
However, watching the embarrassed elf's gaze darting between him and Sylvia, Soren realized he might not have been as discreet as he thought in that portal.
Someone definitely knew what he did.
'Interesting!'
