Chapter 117 - Bonk Commander

"Yes." The wraith nodded.

Albert suddenly received the notification from Bonkey.

[You've gained a subordinate.]

Mission: Get a disciple or subordinate (5/5)

Reward: Bonk Commander

[You've acquired Bonk Commander Job.]

Without hesitation, he immediately took a look at the Bonk Commander, wondering what effect it would bring.

Title: Bonk Commander

Effect: Increase your disciple or subordinate's potential, efficiency to learn skills, and growth by 25%. You now can give one special task every month to a certain disciple or subordinate. The reward will be the understanding of a certain skill. The difficulty of the mission will also result in how much understanding they will get after completing the mission. If you have more disciples or subordinates, the effect will improve.

'Oh? I can give them some understanding? Is it like when you transfer the information to my mind?' Albert asked.

[Yes.]

'Still… the amount of understanding corresponds to the difficulty of the mission… I now feel bad for them, Bonkey. I just want to teach them as quickly as possible. Why are you making it hard for them?'

[I'm programmed this way.]

'Okay. Bastard Creator.' Albert sighed inwardly before looking at the mission that was born from completing the Bonk Commander mission.

Mission: Get 50 disciples or subordinates (5/50)

Reward: Bonk Lord

'What? 50? That's such a huge jump.'

[We're going for the legion.]

'That's true, I guess.' Albert didn't put too much thought into it. He believed he could somehow reach out to some pixies later.

After sorting his thoughts, Albert turned to the wraith and asked, "You said you have no memory. So, I guess you don't have a name…"

"Yes, I ask Milord to bestow me a name."

"I'm not good with naming people since there is a lot to be thought about, but considering you possess the desire you had when you were alive, I will call you Shella."

"I understand, Milord. Shella greets her lord."

"So, what's the deal with this Lord thingy?" Albert raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit weird to be called as Lord.

"Does that displease you?"

Albert looked up for a moment, recalling how he had been called Teacher and Master. He somehow didn't care about it that much at this point.

"Whatever." Albert shrugged. "Anyway, it's hard to see you like this… Do you have anything that can make me see your real body?"

"I do." Shella nodded, showing her real appearance. Her body was that of a skeleton, and Albert could see her skull and hands. She was covered with a white rag that seemed to be the rag they used when burying her.

"Does this appearance displease you, Milord?" Shella asked. Her jaws were moving as though she was talking, but the voice and the bone movements were not synchronized, so it was a bit weird.

It felt a bit creepy, but Albert had seen so many new things in this life. Since the skeleton didn't have skin that could be called a mouth, he knew it wouldn't be the same.

Hence, he smiled and said, "Nah, it's fine."

"I understand."

"Since you've accepted me as your master, I'll teach you a trick or two later. For now, let's go back first. The others are waiting for you."

"Yes." The wraith was lowering her head and floated, so she was only straightening her back and gently flying around like a ghost.

Raisa couldn't believe what she saw.

'That's it?' Raisa widened her eyes, not expecting that the wraith was this easy to subdue. She even wondered what exactly happened when Albert bonked her.

If not because of Lilith's order to prevent herself from getting bonked, she would have asked Albert to bonk her to experience the feeling herself.

"Anyway, thank you for helping me today," said Albert to Raisa. If not because of her restraining the wraith, he wouldn't be able to convince the wraith.

"No, no. It's fine." Raisa waved her hand as she had abandoned the thought of convincing the wraith. It was close to impossible since they really needed to show something that matched perfectly with their lingering desire.

And normally, their lingering desire was something unattainable, so this showed how perfect the compatibility of Albert's power with Shella's lingering desire was.

Since the problem had been taken care of, they could finally lead the army to strike the Risourin Kingdom.

"I would like to thank you for solving this problem for us." Raisa politely thanked him.

"Nah." Albert shrugged. "I've got Shella with me now, so it's not a problem."

"I'm pleased that my presence makes you happy, Milord."

"Yeah."

"But if I can be rude, I would like to ask Milord about that power."

"I'll tell you when we return and meet my students and subordinates." Albert waved his hand. "I'm sure you're going to like it."

"I understand." Although reluctant, Shella agreed. Her priority was still her lingering desire after all.

Before leaving the forest, Albert turned to Raisa and smirked. "No eavesdropping, okay?"

Raisa widened her eyes and looked away. "Aren't we on a date? The end of the date is…"

She made a circle with her left hand and pierced it with her right index finger.

"…" Albert's eyebrows twitched as he calmly said, "No."

"That's what the date with a succubus means." She smiled.

"No. This is what the date with me means." Albert stuck his tongue out.

"But you were the one who asked for a date."

"I asked, I led. So, my rule." Albert harrumphed, not wanting to lose.

"You do know what you're saying is pretty shameless, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Albert looked away.

"…" Raisa looked into his eyes and added another thing. "You can't do anything if I force myself on you."

"You dare?" Albert smirked, not feeling afraid. Unlike Alisa, who didn't have anyone stopping her, Raisa still needed to look at their relationship and consider the future. So, there was no way she could force herself on him.

And it wasn't like Albert could be affected by her charm, so it was impossible to do it unless Albert agreed.

"I don't know what to say. I give up." Raisa sighed.

Albert smiled and said, "Anyway, we need to go back."

"Yeah."

The two then headed back to the camp with Shella following them from behind.
