"Do you mind? I haven't even stepped in here and you're already dirtying the water! Get out!"
I glared at the woman, Healia didn't seem to learn, but when she looked at Gobby, and he started to growl, she started to get out. I turned and let her get a towel wrapped before fully turning around. I had no need to start at that big-titted bimbo's chest, and I wanted some semi-privacy, that didn't incline Healia.
"I'm not leaving yet, we have things to talk about," Healia said in a haughty voice, putting her nose in the air.
I looked at Gobby and he rolled his eyes.
"I can just eat her K, who needs magic?"
"You wouldn't dare!"
Both Gobby and I squinted our three eyes at her and Healia backed out of the room.
"Fine, I will talk from...here."
I slammed the door at the last part, so it was a bit muffled. I didn't want to see that woman right now, and I didn't want the lecherous beast to see me without clothes on. Gobby went and jumped in the tub before I could stop him, and dove into the water, and then back out, a shiny red blob, and sparkling white eye. I looked at my bath in horror and turned on him.
"Hey! I didn't even get to try the water! No, I have to empty and refill it!" I complained looking back at the water, but then I noticed something.
"Yeah, sorry K, I should have told you first before just jumping in! My bad! But! All is not lost! This bad boy is the 'Even Clean When You Pee In Your Bath Water Cleaning Machine Three Thousand'!"
"Is that what is really called?"
"No, silly. It's just an Auto-Bath, just cleans and reheats the water, but I think my name is way better! So, you don't have to worry!"
Gobby was right, all the crud and dried blood was gone, sucked into a hole in the side. I relaxed and started to get undressed fairly quick. If I wanted any time here to soak, I would have to hurry.
"K, can you hear me?" Healia's muffled voice came through the door.
"No! Go away!"
"Listen, K, I think you should get to the repair shop first and then talk to your father about…"
"Done, Done, and done, go away, I will figure it out for now, if I need something I will come to find you!"
"Fine, I let you soak. I think I heard the girls downstairs, I'll go check on them, sounds like they brought guests!"
"Gobby, can you go with that witch and make sure she behaves, please?"
"You bet K!" Gobby said while jumping up and pulling the door handle down. "I'm coming to your old bag! So you better behave, or I'll let you take a solo tour of the inside of my mouth!"
Well, that would buy me a little bit of time, and I had already used three points to upgrade the Repair shop for my father, and I was about to put points into the cost of living when I noticed something called a Mana Tesla.
The description was that it gave all guild members a base Mana regeneration of 5% a minute. This would be good for Mei and the other magic users since she only used it twice in one day and was out. If she would have only had to wait twenty minutes, we might have been able to go longer, but she was also tired from the day.
The Mana Tesla was only two points, so I made the purchase, and a box on my wrist filled in the smallest bit, that was five now. The boxes barely even filled, but it was easier to see on the total member's bar, but that was the biggest bar, three times as long as the rest. After finishing with that, I let myself sink up to my nose and closed my eyes.
'You're doing well, but there is so much more for you to do. You need to find the girls, you are all stronger together.' -Drania.
'I only wanted five minutes of silence! I know what you're saying, but, other than the smell of them, how do I find them?'
'You need to become a beacon of hope. Stand above all and let the world feel your presence, they will come if they know where to find you. I have no idea what the Game Master has done to the girls, but I think it is vital to find them as soon as you can...I...you...make...pay! Grrr! This is so frustrating! I hope that child figures it out this time!' Drania.
'I'm not even going to ask, because you can tell me, and not even if you try it seems, hm. I will try to make myself stick out and such. I really don't know what else to do, running around and trying to find them won't work, so I will just make the Crimson Legion the strongest guild in the land!'
'It will take more than one guild, girl. I am getting ahead of myself, but just you remember that I wasn't slacking in reminding you.' -Drania.
Now that was weird. It almost sounded like she was worried I was going to get mad about something in the future. Highly suspicious, but my time of relaxing was coming to an end. I could hear the patterning of small and even smaller feet. I contemplated just sinking under the water and hiding, but there was no soap in the water and any that was put in just cleaned itself out right away, leaving warm and sparkling water.
"K! Look!" Mei cried as she burst into the bathroom, and a cute and frilly yellow dress, but her hair was long blonde, and no knots.
"Mei, you look very cute, and your hair looks beautiful!" I congratulated her.
She looked good and clean, so maybe the women already bathed her? Well, break time was over, and I needed more guild members!
