Monster Integration

"Chew chew chew!"

After buying a few miscellaneous things, I was walking toward the exit of the marked when Ashlyn started to chirping again frantically.

She waved her wings, again and again, saying me to walk toward it.

Signing I decided to follow her directions, I just hope if this time she picks up a herb, it would be better than the previous ugly shriveled looking herb that picked.

Soon we come to girl peddler who had put up some ores and herbs messily on the table and is watching a movie on holowatch without care for the world.

She is not keeping watch on her things but no one would think of stealing from her, she is at a Peak level of Corporal grade, a top-level powerhouse in this space realm.

"Are you sure, this is the thing you want?" I asked with uncertainty.

The thing she wants is normal size cherry, one would think what’s wrong with the cherry?

The cherry is poison green color, whoever looked at it would definitely think it’s poisonous.

I asked her three times before making sure this is the thing she wants, I don’t want her to poisoned by eating some poisonous thing.

Seeing she is very sure about this cherry, I’ve decided to buy her for it.

’’Excuse me, how much is it?" I asked motioning towards the cherry, she moved her gaze from her movie and looked toward cherry im pointing.

"Give me something of ten thousand credit value, don’t try to negotiate it, I will not change the price," she said in fix tone.

Why my luck is so bad! that fatty also doesn’t want to negotiate but at least he gave me a reason for the high price but this girl didn’t even spare time for that and went back to her movie.

I put two Specialist Grade monster cores on the table and carefully pick the poison green berry and walked away.

’’Here take it?" I said, giving Ashlyn a cherry but I already removed anti-poison potion from a pocket in case of any accidents.

’’Chew chew chew!" She shook her tiny little head and said it is for me, I got little startle hearing that as this little glutton barely left anything for me.

’’Do you want to kill me or something?" I said as she asked me ate the berry, she looked so angry at that I thought she would spit fire from her tiny beak.

’’I promised I will never make fun of you!" I said waving my hands up, she just snorted at my fake apology.

"Chew chew chew!" she chirped again and said that she smelled that this cherry will be good for me.

"Okay okay! I’ll eat in the tent," I said as she piercingly looked at me, her action clearly showed that she wanted me to eat this cheery.

Seeing nothing much interesting in the market, I walked back to the tent with Ashlyn.

I slowly walked back to the camp enjoying the starry night while listening to the conversation or a group of people on the street.

There are many interesting things that I’ve heard, such as, one group friends making fun of their two red faces friends who they caught having sex in the tent.

I opened the flap of my tent and went inside, seeing there is not much to do I took the cherry from my pocket that Ashlyn asks me to buy earlier.

This cherry is poison green and looked really poisonous if not for Ashlyn’s confirmation I wouldn’t dream to it.

’’You are definitely sure about this cherry right?" I asked Ashlyn one last time before eating it.

’’Chew!" She affirmed in annoyance, seeing I am asking her time to time.

Still, as a safety measure, I have anti-poison potion in my other hand.

Taking a deep breath, I popped that poison green cherry in my mouth and bite it with closing my tightly, to prepare myself for the coming bitter taste.

"It’s quite sweet!" I exclaimed it tasted delicious, I thought it would be bitter but it is quite sweet with little strangeness in it.

The sweet juice if went down my throat as waited for its effect.

I didn’t lose me vigilance toward it after tasting it being delicious, it’s good or it’s bad, I am ready for both.

Few minutes passed by when I felt slight heat around my body, it disnt feed but instead, it felt very relaxing.

My body started to sweat a little as laid on the bed but soon sweat started to pour all over my body that I have to lose my cloth quickly.

I checked my body, sensing it’s just relaxing heat and sweat, I let it be.

As time passed, I started to sweat more and this process, I sense the minute change that is happening in my body.

I sense that my body is healing, whatever internal and external injuries I had on me are starting to heal.

Not only that, the extremely faint scars left behind by injury and wouldn’t go away even after drinking potions are starting to fade at a visible rate.

The only problem is sweat, I am sweating like crazy and all the sweat is caking on my skin, it feels really comfortable and creepy but it would stop.

Time passes on when the sweat my skin also started to feel off, I got quite a scare seeing this but I relaxed knowing that only old skin is peeling and the new skin which replaced is radiant and baby soft.

"Miracle Fruit!" I shouted with a low voice, two miracle fruits in ten days, I looked at Ashlyn with horror and excitement.

Horror because if other people even got the wind of it that she can sense the miracle, both will not able to live in calm especially me.

Some people even kill me to get Ashlyn, even knowing its nearly impossible to bond with the once bound monster.

And I am excited because if Ashlyn keeps finding miracle fruit, there may chance of us becoming a high-level powerhouse.

I am sweating for half an hour but my sweating still hadn’t stopped, there is even small puddle of sweat at the base of my bed.

I hadn’t moved since I ate the fruit except for moving my hands to clear wet dead skin off my face.

I first thought it was a healing type miracle fruit but sensing changes that keep going in my body, this fruit much more than healing type miracle fruit.
