11 Target or not?

Dave stood up to talk with Lilly; at least, it didn't seem like she had any plans to kill them. It was better than being surrounded. He was just hoping they wouldn't offend her.

"Thank you very much for the help, miss," Dave bowed and said.

"Don't mention it; it's just a trivial thing," Lilly said, waving her hand, as if killing those men meant nothing. Well, technically, it didn't for her.

She didn't have many social skills and common sense due to being surrounded by powerful people from birth; after all, even those maids in her home were tier 10 and above, especially the head maid who was a tier 14.

Because of this, her common sense was totally broken. But that didn't mean she was weak in other areas, especially combat. Her father, the only god, had personally trained her, so how could she be weak?

When she was 14, he had actually thrown Lilly into the Wolo Forest where deadly and powerful creatures resided. She had heard the strongest was a tier 13 monster. She had spent two whole years in that forest all alone, with no one to even guard her from the shadows.

And these weren't the only ways her father trained her, so one could easily say she was a walking calamity; nobody was able to beat her on the same level aside from her father.

That's why for her, killing these bandits meant nothing.

Lilly scratched the back of her head and said, "Well, I actually need your help a little."

Dave's eyes lit up as he said, "You've saved our lives, so just order, and we'll try our best to fulfill it."

His team also nodded in agreement; they weren't an ungrateful bunch and would gladly help her.

"Oh, it's nothing major; I was just traveling around the world and got lost. So I'm just wondering where I am; can you help me with that?" Lilly asked.

Dave was surprised as he thought, 'Looks like she's a daughter of someone powerful and just wandering around. If that's the case, maybe someone powerful is guarding her from the shadows; she herself is this powerful, what about her guard?'

Just thinking of that made cold sweat run down his back. He hurriedly shook off those thoughts and said, "I'll be honored to help you, but there is a city nearby. Why don't you take a rest there, and I'll explain everything to you?"

"Sure, I also need some rest, so the city is a perfect place," Lilly smiled and said.

Dave got stunned in place seeing that smile on her pretty face.

"Eh leader, looks like the bandits had actually damaged the trucks. We can't go with it, so what should we do?" One of his team members' voices woke up the dazed Dave.

He turned around, and indeed the truck was badly damaged; fortunately, there was an extra layer of protection for the goods, so they should be safe. But the truck was in no condition to move, and they couldn't really carry the goods.

They fell in a dilemma as to what to do.

"Well, we'll do it like this. You four would stay and guard the goods, and I'll go to the city with miss; then there I'll inform the Salo company about this so they'll send someone to pick these up. Understand?" Dave said, displaying his composition as a leader.

He then faced Lilly and said, "Just a minute, miss, I'll settle some things, and then we'll go to the city, is that fine with you?"

Lilly nodded, and Dave went to his team.

Lilly could have offered her storage ring to carry the goods, but she had often read in books that storage rings were rare. So even though she had seen storage rings on practically every person she encountered before, she kept it a secret.

Robb would have surely given her a head pat for this.

'By the way system, you didn't generate a mission this time?' Lilly asked; Dave was an above-average man, and this situation perfectly fitted the damsel in distress, so she thought he would be a target.

[...]

'What?' Lilly was confused by the system's speechlessness.

[...Host what is going on in your head, why would I make a random person a target?]

'Hmm? Well, I've read Harem system genre books, well ml-oriented, and in those systems made every female a target for the main character to conquer.' Lilly shrugged.

[Host don't compare this Great and mighty system to some pieces of shit, no, that's even an insult on shit.]

This time Lilly was speechless by the outrage of the system, so she asked, 'Didn't you tell me that your emotions would be unsealed when I rank up the system, what happened now?'

[Ahem, forgive me host but you just went too far comparing me with those trashes.]

Lilly shook her head and asked, 'Anyways so is there a requirement or what for targets?'

[Hmm, you can say something like that. I can't really tell you the truth as the system is still in rank 1.]

'Aghh, again rank up.' Lilly groaned, hearing that again.

[Host, you've already done something which previous hosts never did, you unsealed many emotions of the system without ranking up.]

'Oh, guess I should be proud.' Lilly mused. 'Anyways that means that I won't be getting missions to conquer random men, right?'

[You don't have to worry about that Host, only when the system judges that person to be worthy enough to be with you would he be able to become a target. Well, there's also that situation where the host decides to pursue someone herself.]

'Great, you're the best system, system (?), wait I haven't given you a name.' Lilly thought. 'Or maybe you have a name already?'

[No host, I have no name. Just system]

'Not even the previous hosts gave you a name?' Lilly got confused, wasn't giving the system a name mandatory? What were this previous hosts doing?

[No]

'Hmm, Fine then I'll give you a name myself.' Lilly smiled as she began thinking of a name.
