Saturday!

I wake up and feel something small and warm on my chest. It feels hard and rough to the touch. I open my eyes and see Eimbis curled up on me. He's looking at me and lifts his head up once he sees I'm awake. I start petting him and he seems to like it. After a bit, he jumps off me and I sit up. I look outside and see it's night out. Makes sense, I did sleep a lot yesterday after passing out at the Forests Heart. I think to myself while standing up. I check the time and see the girls should be up in about an hour. The girls... Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? Hmm, what is it? Oh yeah! My quest to make Innu a two-handed sword! I had 24 hours, and I got it around 9 AM. So I should still have a few more hours. But what to make it out of? I guess I'll check the market for materials. I enter my Blacksmith's Workshop and take out my L-market device. I start looking for materials I can afford. Fortunately, I have 18 Magic Steel Ingots left, which I'm hoping is enough. After fifteen minutes of looking at materials, I either can't afford or are low level and/or grade I put the device away. I open my bag up, figuring a normal Magic Steel blade will be better than nothing. I take out my Ingots and facepalm when I see what else I have. I take out 6 of my 21 Legendary Rock Drake Scales I got from its nest in the Ruins. I melt all my ingots down and mix in the scales. I pour the liquid into the casts and freeze them with Draconic Ice. I then take them and start hammering away. It goes much smoother than I expected. My body knows what to do and moves in ways I don't even think of. After about an hour and a half, I finish the sword. I Observe the large two-handed sword before me.

Rock Drake Slayer Lvl 35, Legendary

This sword was made with a Magic Steel alloy made with Rock Drake Scales. The blade has the high defense of the drake making it very tough and durable. Deals 450-500 Melee Damage. Hidden Properties: The Rock Drake was a Ruins Monster, giving it greater power than normal. The scales retain that power. This causes the blade to give its wielder +10 Strength while equipped. Durability: 1150/1150

I smile, satisfied with the results, and walk out of the Workshop. I find Asami and Ramia sitting on the couch.

"Eric! When'd you get back?" Asami asks jumping up to greet me.

"I got back yesterday after you all went to bed. I didn't want to wake you so I slept on the couch." I answer and she smiles.

"Thank you. But, I would've been happier waking up to see you." She replies.

"W-what were you doing?" Ramia asks.

"I was making Innu a weapon. I told her I would and I did get some good materials from some Ruins. Speaking of, where are she and Luna?" I ask.

"They're outside. They decided to do some exercises while we waited for you. So what were you doing? Sugano called saying that you might not be home until tomorrow, well today, but she didn't know why either." Asami asks me suspiciously.

"You remember how I told you Liz was raised by Dryads? Well, they had a Poison Dragon try to flee from a guild and hide out in their forest. They got rid of it, but it poisoned the forest and they wanted my help healing it. Since the poison weakened the Dryad's powers. But I might've gotten poisoned myself. But don't worry I'm fine. The Dryads healed and fixed me up." I answer and Asami sighs.

"How did dropping off two swords turn into healing a Dryads forest?" Asami asks aloud, not wanting an answer and I chuckle.

"E-Eric?" Ramia says and I turn to her. "Could you t-take me to the forest?"

"Why do you want to go?" I ask curiously.

"The Dryads f-forests are rich in m-mana. This makes i-it great for gathering materials for A-Alchemy." She says and I think it over.

"I'll have to ask, but I do have something else you might like." I say taking out the Mini Forest Core Treena gave me.

"W-what is it?" Ramia asks while looking at it.

"The Dryads forest gets its high mana from its heart, or core. This is a Mini Forest Core. It'll create a small forest, like the Dryads one. It might create some of the materials but I don't know. Oh! Ramia, speaking of materials, did we ever tell you about the Apiary?" I ask and she looks at the core with wonder before turning to me confused and shaking her head no.

"Oh yeah! I forgot about it too." Asami says and I smile, glad I'm not the only one.

"I got an Enchanted Aipiary that produces honey, that apparently will enhance potions in Alchemy. Oh, and it calms the bees so they won't attack or harm you." I say and she looks at me in disbelief.

"Where is it!" She asks excitedly and I lead her to the back of the cabin. She runs over to it and I help her gather all the honey inside. On our way back I see Innu and Luna talking with Asami. Ramia runs past them to get something to store the honey in. For now, I just stored it in my inventory.

"Alpha!" Luna says upon seeing me. She hugs me and I start petting her.

"Hey, Luna." I say and Innu joins the hug. "Innu, I have something for you." I say taking the sword I made out, once they pulled away.

"Thank you!" She cheers and takes it. She gives it a few test swings and I notice she swings it much faster than I would've thought.

"So, do you have any plans for today?" Asami asks me.

"Yep." I answer.
