234 Upgrade Ticket
(Rose POV)
"Talk!!"
"I don't want to! It's embarrassing!!"
"Come on give the details… how it was? Did it hurt?"
"You really want details of my first time with your brother? Pervert!…"
"So you really did it!"
…
"Come on… I just want to know how my best friend first time went…"
"I told you that I don't want to tell you!!"
She suddenly made a face as if she was distraught.
"Wow… so reluctant, you said it was embarrassing… Don't tell me… did he had a weird fetish??!?! Did he mistreated you and you liked it?!?! if you didn't like it just tell me and I'll go kick him in the nuts right now."
"No!! he was really sweet and gentle!!"
I just noticed what I just said… Hope was smiling at me…
"mmmm, I see? Tell me more."
I can't believe I fell for that… until now I really thought that Spencer was just messing with me when he said that Hope had a skill called puppy eyes and a manipulation perk but…
Those big sparkling eyes and how she always made me say embarrassing things … those are years of training!!!… It all makes sense now.
"Stop that!!!"
"Stop what?!?!"
"Using your Puppy eyes skill on me"…
…
"Tch…"
She does it on purpose!!!
"Whatever…will you tell me? you already told me the most important part right?"
She is never going to drop it.
"After we arrived at your house…"
"Please if you did it in every corner of the house please avoid the part where you did it in my room…"
… Why would we do that?... that gave me an idea.
"…Spencer took me in between his strong arms and kissed me with passion."
"Hey, don't ignore me… just tell me that you didn't do it in my room."
"Without stopping his kisses, your "brother" picked me in a princess carry and brought me to the room…"
I tried to be careful of not talking about "his" room and talk clearly about her brother to make her uncomfortable… I could feel my cheeks burning with each word that left my mouth, but I had to do this or she will never let it go…
"Wait why you didn't say his room?"
"…He softly put me on that soft bed as he took off his shirt showing me his nice abs, did you know that Spencer looks so good shirtless… you probably haven't seen him since you were little… I assure you he probably changed a lot… I mean as soon I saw those abs, I crawled to him and wanted to…."
"Ok, Ok. I get it … I don't want to know…"
"I told you, it would feel weird to hear it."
"Don't ever mention it again…"
"Gladly…"
She sighed in defeat with a worried smile on her face…
"That wasn't my room right? …"
"Why would we do that in your room?"
"I don't know… my bed is softer and bigger than his…forget it I don't want to know anything now…" she made a little pause before giving me a soft smile. "I'm glad everything went fine Rose…I have been rooting for you for years, we are sisters in law!"
I answered with a smile, she is getting a little ahead tho.
"It was amazing Hope… all I ever dreamed… and it wasn't your bed."
I started to daydream as recalled each and every kiss that I received that night…
"What are you planning to do about that other thing by the way…have you thought about it?"
Hope question brought me back from heaven and stopped my heart…
"I… Why?... Why do you have to ruin this moment!?!?"

"I was starting to think that we were never going to do this…"
"Bro, you are making Gerhard think, you know that his brain can't handle that!!"
"Hey!!"
"Hope, don't tease him… It took a while to heal everyone's wounds, so we had to postpone this a few times, but don't worry I think it was worth the wait…"
Right now, we were finally reunited to see spencer's system rewards. The recovery process took a little longer than we expected, but everything was fine now.
"We have quite a bunch of things this time…"
With the help of the system, Spencer grouped the rewards and started to tell us the list of things that he got.
- 4 material box
- 7 F-Rank tickets
- 4 E-Rank tickets / 1 E-Rank ticket (Shareable)
- 2 evolution tickets
- 2 Low tier Surprise box
- 30 skill points
- 15 attribute points
- 4600+ points
- Upgrade ticket
- 2 ??? system function
From what he said he got three achievements during the last mission, because of them his system points got a huge boost, two of his achievements were due to him hunting a great number of beasts.
[Legendary Hunter] at the 500 beasts it also gave him the E-Rank shareable ticket, and [Exterminator] at one thousand beasts, which was accompanied with an unknown system function that was going to be unlocked with the upgrade.
The other one was [Tourist] thanks to him visiting a pocket dimension, and it gave him also an unknown function for the system.
These were all the prizes that he got after we finished the war against the Swamp and the Farmlands beasts.
From all the prizes I was interested in the unknown functions and that upgrade ticket…
"Do you know what the upgrade ticket do?"
I had to wait for a little since he seemed to be talking with the system.
"It enhances a skill or Esper ability to the next tier… it also works on tickets."
"… Wait so you can enhance any of your time abilities to D rank??"
"Why not upgrading the D-Rank ticket to C-Rank?"
He had enough F-Rank ticket to fuse them and get a fifth E-Rank ticket, he had the shareable one, but it would be a waste to use it in that way as it might be useful for some of our other members. With those five regular E-Rank tickets he could get the D-Rank ticket finally.
As Gerhard said upgrading the D-Rank ticket to C-Rank was also an option, but I didn't think it's a good idea.
"But if you use it to get a C-Rank ticket you might get a useless ability… what will Spencer do if he gets a C-Rank enhanced taste or something like that?"
He looked at me as if he just noticed this problem. Spencer interrupted us at that moment.
"I'll just use the ticket, and I'll decide where to use the upgrade depending on what I get. Now give me a few seconds…"
We all focused on him as he used the ticket…
He was dumbfounded and seemed to be asking something to the system… After a few seconds, I could feel that he was annoyed with the system for some reason now…
"What did the system do?"
He looked at me for a few seconds.
"I asked him about taking out the remaining tickets in case that there is a hard reset… It just said that he was just playing with me and that I'm not going to lose anything after the upgrade…"
Hope and Gerhard started to laugh as I looked at him with a wry smile.
"I told you that you ignore him too much, he probably was just bored."
"Don't side with him!!"
"What did you get?"
"A D-Rank skill called Physics Defiance. I'll try it before I decide if I want to upgrade this or one of my time abilities, but it seems promising from what I heard from the system."
I nodded to him, just from the way it sounded I thought that it should be a useful ability but without trying it, we would never be a hundred percent sure.
"Well, I'll go use it."
""Wait!!!""
Hope and Gerhard yelled…
"What?!?!"
"Open the other stuff first…"
I knew that he was feeling guilty right now… he is a little excited about the upgrade, so he kinda forgot about it… so cute. I giggled a little subconsciously.
"Right…!"
Different boxes appeared on the table, two with ribbons that we already knew were the low-tier Surprise box, one E-Rank ticket for any of us to use, and four wooden chests of different size that were probably the material boxes.
"Help yourselves. I'll go use the ticket."
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"I will be okay, just see if there is something you like in these boxes."
Without waiting for me to insist he kissed me and went to our room.
When I turned around, I found Hope and Gerhard already attacking the boxes…
Three of the material boxes contained monster parts, a white colored pelt, one thing that was either a giant tooth or a horn and a large-sized shining grey stone that at first sight I thought that it was an ore, but I noticed that it was the heart of a beast. The last box, which was also the biggest one, had a dark colored wood inside.
We were in dire need of new weapons, my brother had to drop the hammer as he ran away, Spencer's spear was lost when he was sucked into that other dimension, and the Hope's MRGR was left in the building where the snipers took cover during the battle.
At least the material boxes are a pleasant and unexpected surprise already.
