YM778.TV Chapter 76 - Monke Plays Surgeon
After the alraunes were given a brief and detailed tour of the monster city, I immediately set up a garden large enough for the rest of them to stay, with some room leftover for future possible additions.
It cost me about 1,000 DP, but hey, money well spent if it\'s to gain more income, a workforce, and defensive monsters.
Plus, they\'re also giving the orcs, and the horny demi-human, Krag, a good time, if the screen in front of me is any proof…
Why am I peeping at them doing the dirty? Well, the reason is very simple. I don\'t want a report about casualty in the process of their lewding. I had asked Merethyl about alraunes, and it turns out, not only do they ingest semen as a part of their diet, but sometimes they get so carried away with their mates that they digest their mates\' entire bodies, although this is only applicable to those alraunes with a flower lower-half.
And it also turns out, Krag has the hots for those alraunes with flower lower-halfs… Yeah, I\'m not questioning him why he has that fetish, I\'d dump burning oil in my ears and go deaf rather than hear the reason.
Anyway, closing the screen to avoid watching Krag and an alraune make out, I barely avoided seeing them undress – although the alraune was already naked. She had big boobs, not gonna lie – and was going to the next base.
I sighed. \'To each their own, I guess…\'
DP: 9699
I think it\'s time to reward Merethyl for all her hard work. Since the potion for reattaching her sister\'s limb only costs 5,000 DP, I could\'ve bought it before, the moment she accepted to do my bidding, but I was a little low on DP at the time, as well as my low income prevented me from taking that route so early.
But now, with me gaining about 6,000 DP a day – if my calculations are correct – I can afford a single-use 5,000 DP potion without that much of a decrease in my DP reserves.
Purchasing the potion, I quickly stuffed it inside my inventory. Once that was done, I opened the Dungeon Menu and accessed the Communications tab to contact Merethyl.
"Hm? Jionni?" Merethyl asked through the screen, a confused expression on her face before she turned it into a mask of focus. "Do you have a job for me?"
"Not quite." I said, causing no further reactions from her. She waited patiently for my next words, and once she heard them, a hopeful and joyous expression came on her face.
"You have done well so far, and such dedication entails a fitting reward, does it not." I stroked my chin, my trolling spirit forcing me to say those words. "Go meet your sister. I\'ll be there soon with the potion to reattach her leg."
She nodded at me, tears pooling in her eyes as she gave me the warmest smile she had ever given me during her stay here in my Dungeon. I smiled back, feeling a bit good about myself for helping an amputee recover her lost limb.
I cut the connection off and got off my lazy ass, which imprinted a visible spot on the grass on which I sat. Amusing, but otherwise, useless information now when I\'m about to do a good deed.
A good deed that I am not doing to land me at least a loyal elf serving me until the day she dies. Nope. Nuh-uh.
My motivations aside, it just feels wrong to see a somewhat innocent person suffer this kind of pain, and even if I can\'t empathize with the person suffering, the least I could do is give my sympathies to the person suffering.
Sometimes, religion can go a bit too far. Back on earth, I still remember the topics of witch hunts and crusades some religions back on that planet did in the past.
Luckily, I wasn\'t alive during that timeline.
Removing those thoughts from my mind, I proceeded to make my way towards the Human area, where Merethyl should now be waiting after her daily job of ensuring the goblins and orcs don\'t mess up some construction details.
Domino was nowhere to be found right now, and that\'s because she is back in our house, playing some games. More specifically, Pandemonium Infinite. The metal without guitar just sounds so good, and it seems Domino agrees.
Creating another passageway heading to the Human area, I checked my inventory to see if Mariona\'s dismembered leg was still good.
Time being essentially stopped in my inventory was a literal boon. No spoiling of food, no weight, nothing to hinder you, even when you carry an arsenal large enough to fit a continent full of weapons and still have some leftover.
Plus, it makes it impossible to notice the things I have in my inventory through normal means.
"Welp, time to play surgeon."

~ Third Person POV ~
It was time. Finally, the day her leg comes back to its rightful place is here. Mariona could not help but kiss her sister lovingly as she celebrated the day her leg was reattached, after those damned human fanatics cut it off.
"M-Mari, not now…!" Merethyl squirmed and struggled as she did her best to separate herself from her sister, who was giving her loving attention. "Jionni might come at any moment!"
"Aw… Fine, we\'ll reserve it for later." Mariona chuckled at the sight of her blushing older sister. No matter what, teasing her normally formal sister – as well as getting her to her bed – was a favorite pastime for the younger elf twin. "But, are you okay…? You look haggard."
"It\'s nothing to worry about." Merethyl instantly countered, not wanting her twin sister to know she\'d been breaking her back just to fulfill Jionni\'s requests so her sister could have her leg back. \'Not anymore, it isn\'t.\'
Merethyl smiled. Mariona noticed this smile wasn\'t that tired and depressed one she kept on bringing whenever she came. This one was a relieved smile. A smile that showed that her worries were beginning to fade, and in light of said worries fading, joy and happiness were taking place.
Seeing this smile, Mariona couldn\'t help but smile back, a few tears slowly cascading down her cheeks as she stared at the only person she could give her full trust in this rotten world.
"Merethyl?" Merethyl looked at her sister, her smile getting more radiant the moment she saw the smile on her sister\'s face. "Thanks... For being my big sister."
Merethyl couldn\'t do anything but hug her twin lovingly in response. They spent a few moments basking in each other\'s touch, until a sound broke them from their reverie.
"I\'m here." Jionni, Merethyl\'s trustworthy boss, spoke out loud, a smile gracing his lips as he watched the family bonding. "Don\'t worry, this won\'t take too long. I\'ll get out of your hair soon enough."
Jionni hummed, understanding that the two twins wanted some alone time after having finished healing.. Merethyl and Mariona could only smile in response.
