Re:Monster - Soul Eater

Day 46-50

[Kei] "Don't worry, we won't be competing so you've got a chance."

The elves then watched as Rou devoured the remains of the recently deceased elf and made up their minds that they would get out of here. When I returned to Sigul she asked me if what we were doing was considered justice. I replied by saying that they attacked and the fact that they are even being given a chance at all to survive is merciful. She went quiet for a moment before agreeing with my statement.

As time went on, it was easy to see that a lot of the female elves were being given preferential treatment, although a few males did survive. Rou offered me the dead elves souls and I gladly accepted, gaining {Spirit User} {Archery Proficiency} {Tracking} and {Hiding}. I synthesised {Tracking} with {Total Area Perception} and {Hiding} with {Presence Erasure}.

By the end of the day, it was decided that no one would touch any of the elves until Rou's aphrodisiac had broken through their wills and they began to ask for it. As for the elf leader, Rou and I shared a rather bland meal that earned us both {Selling Price: 30% Increase} and {Buying Price: 30% Reduction}

Synthesis results:
{Selling Price: 30% Increase} + {Buying Price: 30% Reduction} = {Expert Bartering}

- Day 48

I spent some time with Dou today as he continued to train and hunt and by the time we finished, he had a big grin on his face which I wouldn't expect to see from someone with so much pride.

- Day 49

Today's the day. Yep. Two Hobgoblins have ranked up. Kichi ranked up to an Ogre Variant with copper skin and chiseled muscles while Dou ranked up to something called a Half Gale-Lord. Apparently he's also a Variant, although his skin colour is the normal light cream colour and his eyes are red, small horns protrude from his head, he has what are known as {Ogre Orbs}, small green orbs, on the backs of both of his hands that allow him to summon his new Katana that appears to have a very strong Wind aspect to it while both of them can also help him access his newfound control over the wind.

According to Dou, he received the {Blessing of the Demigod of Swords} and {Blessing of the God of Gales}. The last thing worth mentioning is the green tattoo on the centre of his chest that gives me a feeling of familiarity.

One thing that occurred almost instantaneously is that Dou and Kichi decided to have a sparring match. It was quite an impressive display of power from both of them. Their elements pretty much cancelled each other out so it just came down to a match between a bruiser and a dancing blade. Even without his blade, using just his hands, Dou was able to cut through Kichi's durable skin and muscle while nimbly avoiding Kichi's attacks. The result was an upset with Dou finally toppling the giant, red skinned Ogre, Kichi.

I spent some time making some new clothes for Dou afterwards. A green and white Kimono I've enchanted with {Durability}, {Auto-Repair} and {Reinforcement}. He also received a few bits and pieces from Velvets tomb from Rou. He thanked both of us and after Rou had left, he turned to me once more and bowed, saying that his sword would always be mine to wield. I appreciated the gesture so I asked if there was anything else he wanted. When he told me that all he required was to continue working with me, it almost brought a tear to my eye. To think, this once ball of pride is now showing me so much respect.

I don't plan on taking it easy on him because of it though. When all's said and done, with all of my abilities, he's still far weaker than me. I decided to keep him on his toes with a quick sparring match.

- Day 50

I received another surprise from one of my Allies today. It started when I woke up and realised that Fu wasn't in bed with me. The second strange occurrence was that her gloves were discarded carefully on the ground nearby. When I Analysed them, it seems that the insides have been corroded by something.

When I asked around the settlement as to the whereabouts of the strange girl, no one seemed to have an answer. Taking note of this, I used {Total Area Perception} with the target being the person that wore the corroded gloves. I followed the tracks to an area nearby where trees had been decayed and rocks had been melted. That's when I found her.

Wearing a simple yet elegant black dress, with pale, lifeless skin and long black hair is Fu. Seeing the destruction she's been causing, I'm guessing that she doesn't yet have control of her new skills. She probably woke up and freaked out thinking she was going to melt me or one of the other girls.

I used {Presence Erasure} to sneak up to her before placing my hands on her shoulders. She was startled and quickly tried to pull away until she saw that it was me. Then she started trying harder. I let go of her shoulders and as she attempted to run, I grabbed her hand. She freaked out for a second before realising that nothing was happening. I told her about my {Corrosion Resistance} skill and she started doing something I don't believe I had ever seen her do before. She cried. There's something to say here about me causing women to cry but that can be left for another time. I noticed that on her legs were a pair of black tattoos intertwining with smaller yellow tattoos.

I kept her in my embrace for as long as she needed until she calmed down. Once she did, her usual look began to resurface and we ended up spending most of the day together in the forest.
