Chapter 887: Doctor in the "House"
Reima "Ah young love."
Mathias sputters for a response but is interrupted by the heavy thuds of footsteps, whipping around to confront the inevitably approaching monster, he is presented with a scorched black Barnock who's barely on his last legs.
Barnock stumbles slightly as his body occasionally twitches, the red lightning's effects were still present apparently. "Ah... G-good job!" he manages to say before passing out and landing on his face.
Mathias bends down to look his friend over but is unable to see any injures due to the thick armour covering him. Reima just walks over, rolls the big oaf on his back and dribbles a potion into his mouth from a standing position.
After a moment the barbarians eyes shoot open, quickly sitting up an springing back to life. "Wah!" he shouts as steam erupts from his ears, causing it to gather underneath his helmet.
Reima "Calm yourself, it was just a Pepperup potion... Good for treating most things, exhaustion in your case." he states with a shrug.
Barnock "I... I see. You have my thanks."
Reima nods, "Now, I have to attend to my daughter, try not to cause a volcanic eruption in the mean time." he says, picking Selina and walking over to Quennie.
Reima "How is she?" he asks Quelaag and Ciri.
Ciri "Nothing magical, only mental... Any chance you can bring Diablo back so I can have a turn at him?" she asks sweetly, even if her intentions were nothing of the sort.
Reima shakes his head, "Let's not risk resummoning "Satan", ok?..." he receives a reluctant nod before looking to Quelaag, "Will she be alright?"
Quelaag slowly nods while rubbing her daughters back, "She's hurting, but I think she'll get better after speaking to the both of you. She's under the impression that she's failed you..."
Reima hums to himself and kneels down, taking Quennie from Quelaag's arms and resting her on his knee. "Hey sweetheart?" he asks the still sobbing girl gently, using the pet name she seems to hate the most.
The reaction is small but swift, the girl ducking her head slightly as he called, he pushes her chin up to get a better look at her face, noting the puffy bags around her eyes from her unceasing sobbing.
Reima "What're you crying for?"
She doesn't give a response and instant sobs harder than before...
Reima shakes his head and pulls her into a tight hug, whispering sweet things to her as she held onto him like a koala. Selina stood next to him, looking up at her sister with anticipation and worry.
Selina "Quennie? What's wrong?" she finally asks, unable to stay silent any longer.
Quennie stiffens at the sound of her sister's voice, moving her head in her direction with her eyes widening at Selina. She struggles out of Reima's arms and immediately glomps Selina into a hug, spouting constant apologies for something that'd never happened.
Reima leaves them to it as the support of Selina, Quelaag, and Ciri was more than enough... Right now he needed to get Leah's huge demonic body back to Ichor and see if anyone had any clue at returning it to its original form.
He opens a portal for the girls to return to Kaer Morhen in which Selina leads Quennie through as Ciri and Quelaag follow, both women giving him small pecks at they do.
He then turns around and walks over to Leah, Barnock, and Mathias, getting the men to hold him as he teleported the body to the Church... It might not be the best suited to the task, but it had the best medical facilities available.
Of course, landing inside the church with a large demonic entity scared most of the people present aside from Reah, but the more difficult task was actually just finding Leah a suitable bed to rest on... Due to the large variety of creatures that inhabit Ichor, they'd designed beds for almost everything, giant creatures, fire creatures, ice creatures... But strangely enough they didn't have anything suitable for Leah, her body melted any of the beds big enough for her and most barely fit her anyway.
Eventually, they just decided to lay her down on a flame-resistant bedsheet on the floor, yeah it'd be uncomfortable but it wasn't like she'd be able to feel it. Mathias watched as Rickert, Alphys, Quelina, Luna, Reah, and Anastacia all gathered to inspect the situation.
Rickert and Alphys due to their scientific acumen, Quelina because she has much experience in modifying the body, especially that of demons, Luna was here because she was one of the only experienced witch healers Ichor had produced. And last but not least, Reah and Anastacia, they would be trying to keep Leah's body stable and healthy for the majority of her stay.
Rickert "T-this is strange! The scales are harder than dragon scales!" he exclaims, giving one that they'd chiselled off a whack with a hammer.
Alphys "You think that's strange?! Their internal temperature tops at 1300 degrees! If an insulation bubble hadn't been set up we'd all be dead as soon as we made an incision!" she replies, equally as shocked as he is.
Quelina "Rei said it was the Satan of another world, isn't it a given that it would be hot? My mother certainly was..." she remarks.
Rickert "My apologies lady Quelina, but how hot your mother was doesn't necessarily equate to anything here... Different worlds mean different laws of physics, also taking into account the existence of magic and you have an incomprehensible mess of contradicting information." he says, slightly exasperated.
Alphys "Not only that, but they x-ray we'd taken shows that every bone in the girls body has been broken, whatever caused it has thoroughly made our jobs all the more difficult."
Luna gives a small smile at this, she'd grown taller, but not much more than her younger days. Standing 5.2 ft she was towered over by the others, but it didn't worry her. "Reima must have gotten too excited again, bones tend to break when that happens... It's good we have a stock of Skele-Gro potions, otherwise we'd have to the week it'd take to brew them.
