Rein was still expecting a little bit of resistance from the monster girl but that did not happen. Instead this girl's face turned crimson as she slightly nodded her head. Now it was the boy's turn to get angry. He suddenly shouted "Get away from the princess" and attacked Rein.
Rein observed the attacking boy with interest as his hands turned pitch black with fiery veins on it. Looked like this was the real form of this boy. His attack was quite powerful and his pitch black hands were also extremely hot. But this was nothing in front of Rein as the level of this attack had not even reached the UR grade. So he easily blocked the attack without any struggle.
After failing to do something to Rein after his first attack, the monster boy was ready to attack Rein a second time but fortunately the girl stopped him. She was just a bit flustered with how Rein hugged her so she was not able to react properly for the first attack. But now that she had managed to calm down, she immediately took action to restrict the boy.
After that the girl introduced herself as Prucia and welcomed Rein inside the house. After letting him sit in a reception room for a few minutes under the monster boy named Harris' care, the girl returned back with an old man who looked to be in his eighties and was extremely thin and sick looking.
But Rein was able to feel that this man was still quite fit for his age and his life was nowhere near his death even though he almost looked like a corpse.
He had bright eyes which he used to observe Rein and then in his slightly rough voice he introduced himself as Ben Welkins. Rein also returned the favour and introduced himself. It turned out that Ben was quite knowledgeable about UR grade and knew quite a few things about Rein. Some of the things that he knew were not known to the general public.
Most of the secret information he possessed was false as Rein and Sophia had created those informations as a cover. But even just knowing about them was proof of how far reaching connection this man had.

Ben already knew about the reason why Rein came to visit him even though it had only been less than an hour since he made that decision. This proved that Ben's information network was definitely very impressive. So Rein waited for his partners to come while eating the snacks that Prucia served and chatted with her. Prucia never had anyone other than Ben and the little boy who was her follower.
So she was enjoying this rare opportunity a lot.
After about 15 minutes, Sophia and Ruby finally came. The monster boy went to open the door for them and returned to the reception room with them. From the expression on Sophia's and Ruby's faces, it looked like with her sharp senses Sophia had already discovered the true identity of this boy and Ruby was still not sure about it but she was also suspecting the boy to not be normal.
After Sophia and Ruby greeted Ben and sat down, he finally started telling both of them about the task he wanted them to finish. Rein and his team needed to retrieve a special mineral called "Huguocite". Huguocite was something that could only be found at the depth of the Desolate Plains of Gahana.
Not only that but one type of fruit grew very near where Huguocite could be found and this fruit was extremely tasty for monsters of the Desolate Plains of Gahana.
So to retrieve this fruit, Rein and his group needed to fight off again a big horde of monsters. So this was definitely not something that any regular UR grade was capable of accomplishing. But this was not something too hard for top tier UR grades to do. So Rein was surprised that Ben's test was this easy.
Understanding what Rein was thinking Ben told him that they could not just retrieve any regular Huguocite but a particular one that Ben had marked in a map. This Huguocite was exceptionally large and so many more monsters were there in its area. According to Ben, even for Chris himself, retrieving that large Huguocite would not be easy.
Hearing everything about the job he needed to complete, Rein and his team finally left Ben's house alongside his Danger Rover car to complete this mission.
