Re:Monster - Soul Eater

Day 76-80

- Day 76

A scream echoed out from one of the mines. When we went to check, it turns out that Asue and her miners discovered an underground hot spring which, after lots of hard work from Rou, Asue, Kichi and, after some convincing from Emery, Me, we finally completed the bathhouse. Complete with a male, female, mix and top brass bath.

I joined Rou, Kichi, Asue, Mi and the human girls in the top brass bath. It was quite nice and the water seems to contain some potent healing abilities. Since I can't exactly take in the essence of a bath, I just spent my time in there relaxing, watching as Kichi and Asue lost themselves in the baths' perfect temperature and I, myself doing the same with Emery as she cuddled up next to me and the other human girls washed each other at the side.

- Day 77

It was decided that it wouldn't be necessary for me to participate today which was unfortunate but it did give me some more time in the bathhouse to myself. A swear this might become one of my favourite places if this goes on.

After a quick nap in the bath that I'm still not too sure when it started, I decided to add to my golems by restocking the rock golems that were killed a few days ago. After this, a red dear with four eyes and antlers that look to be made of a red quartz wandered too close to the caves so I killed it and ate it's Soul, gaining the {Wild Horn Dance} and {Red Crystal's Tone} skills.

A few moment after I dismantled its corpse and placed the antlers in Alchemist lady's workshop, a goblin that was left behind came to inform me that a female elf was asking for me. When I got to the entrance, I saw the short haired elf woman yet again. When I greeted her, she bowed politely before asking if we could talk privately. I complied and we went to my room, where I had set up a table and chairs crafted from wood using {Item Creation} in advance for situations such as these.

She sat down and I made some herbal tea for the both of us. She stated that the taste has gotten better so I told her that the materials had improved. She seemed like she was going to inquire about such materials so I quickly changed the subject towards the purpose of her visit. The fact that she came alone was rather suspect to begin with but asking to speak privately just added to my curiosity.

She cleared her throat and delicately places down her drink before reaching into her clothing and pulling out a small vial with a small amount of red liquid inside. When I asked what it was, she simply stated that it was a reward from the Elf Chief to me specifically. Apparently my intervention in multiple clashes between them and the humans outside my pay grade got me noticed. Another interesting topic is that when I had saved her the last time, they were on an important task that, thanks to my intervention, was able to go on without anymore problems. I suppose that's why they didn't need me to guard them.

When I asked her what the task was, she changed the subject back to the vial of mysterious liquid. Oh well, we all have our secrets. She told me that the liquid inside the vial is something that should not be taken lightly, saying that I should only use it in severe situations. After I bid her farewell, my curiosity got the better of me and I took the essence from the strange liquid. I gained {High Speed Regeneration} and {Blood Elixir}.

Hold up, did it just say {Blood Elixir}? Because I'm pretty sure it did. To check it's effects I took out my sword {Gomon-Sha} and slit my wrist. The effects of the sword were felt in full as my wound gained vein-like markings around it and wouldn't stop bleeding. The moment I activated {High Speed Regeneration} however, the wound disappeared in an instant. If {Blood Elixir is half as effective as this, I get the feeling I should keep it a secret.

After that I got the idea to peruse the prison full of slaves and found a suitable subject. A young woman with long brown hair and missing her left leg. I picked her up and carried her back to my room as the noblemen locked up cursed at me and the young woman seemed afraid. That's to be expected though since I didn't give an explanation before taking her. It probably also didn't help when I placed her on a table created with {Earth Control} and told her not to move.
