Kiada, Blood Servant System Reborn

Chapter 39: Chocolate Mint

"What do you mean you can't help me?"

"The dungeon is stuck for your party, and you are at twenty-eight percent. What happened?!" Healia asked me, still sitting down.

"I was trying to tell you. The third room was a Boss Room, and now the place won't reset. Even Tim tried to go in, but it was still the same for him. Do you know what's going on?" I asked hopefully.

"No idea, go to bed, there is a second room for Mei upstairs now. Lesha's I left it for you on the nightstand, remember what I told you. Good night, we will figure this out in the morning."

Then she left and I was left stunned. No idea? What did that mean? Tim's voice cut into my thoughts.

"Alright, I'm going to get some rest. Maybe I will see what's in the kitchen, Gram! What's Cooking?" Tim asked with his nose in the air.

"Leana is in the kitchen with the boys getting food ready, go get clean and come back down. We will even get some more tables out here, hehe!" Gram said with a chuckle.

I needed to relax, we had no idea what any of this meant and there was no point in getting worked up about it. I walked up the stairs with the girls and when we got to the top, the place had changed. Half the fireplace and room were cut off by a brick wall and an open door.

"Is that my room?!" Mei asked, barely able to hold in her excitement.

"Yes, go see," Lesha said, patting Mei on the back.

Both of us smiled as she slowly tip-toed over, gasping for air when she got to the door. I was worried something was wrong until she screamed and ran inside. I looked at Lesha with a bewildered expression, but she just smiled at me, and took my hand, leading me to the room.

Mei was inside rolling around on a pink bed set, and as I looked around the room I noticed that everything was pink yellow, or light blue. The place was almost hard on the eyes with the flickering firelight, but Mei loved it. That's what mattered, and would keep her in her own bed.

"I've never had a room like this! It's a girl's room!"

"Well, girl, you need to go have a bath."

"But I already had one today!" Mei complained.

"And you were in a dungeon, so go have a quick clean before we eat."

Mei grumbled but went to have a quick bath. While she did, I walked over to sit down on the bed.

"Don't even think about it! Keep your dirty ass off the clean sheets!" Lesha commanded, making me jump up.

"Hey!"

"Don't you hey me! You need to go get clean, you are dirty. Once Mei is done we will send her downstairs and" Lesha's voice was cut off by the sound of my father calling my name up.

"KIADA!"

Both of us ran out of the room, and down the stairs as fast as we could. When we reached the bottom a woman was holding a massive sword standing in the doorway, but nothing was going on.

Then it hit me, Chocolate Mint, that smell, what was a chocolate mint? I knew the smell but I had never tried it before, but I loved it. I looked at the tall woman and she was of average build but held her greatswords like a toy. Red hair, but not bright, and her eyes were green, and they were glaring at me.

"Have you found her yet?! Or have you just been playing house with your little," The woman froze in the middle of her speech.

Lesha had her sword, and I was already hovering over her neck, the flavor was mine.

I was thrown before I could sink my extended teeth into her neck. But I caught myself in the air and righted before landing in a crouch. She was fast and tough, and now she was glaring at me and Lesha.

I tried to take more blood from Lesha, but the woman seemed to see through what I was doing and she rushed me. I was about to use some of my stored blood when Mei yelled from the step, making the woman stopped dead in her tracks.

"Stop!" Mei cried coming down the stairs in only a towel. "Don't hurt K and Miss Lesha!"

I didn't wait, I used some blood, and then streaked around the woman, sinking my teeth deep into her neck. It was like sweet electrified Milk but refreshing. It was like her blood left a cool feeling on my throat, and when I let go, she looked at me in confusion.

[Platelet Service] Acquired!

I had taken in some brief flashes, and they were all of Mei, but older and with this woman. I could see the pain in her eyes as she looked at Mei, who was in the body of a child. This must have been hard for her to see the person special to them with something wrong.

"Sorry for attacking you like that, I could smell your blood and that meant that you were one of my servants, but I look like you already partially knew that, right?" I asked the woman, but she wasn't paying attention to me.

"Who are you?" Mei asked the woman, and the woman grabbed her chest over the left side, squeezing her heart.

"Gloria, and it is a pleasure to meet you," She said after taking a deep breath.

"Time for supper, can you all help with the tables!" Leana asked, sticking her head out of the kitchen and shouting.

"Come on Lesha, We can carry them!" I said, grabbing Leshas hand and dragging her with me.

"Hey! Don't you want to know what happens next?" Lesha asked with a big grin.

"I Want to know what happens after our bath!" I said while dragging Lesha into the storage room.
