Today I woke up feeling better, maybe because I used my ability to heal myself many times or maybe because my body is the body of a monster.
Well, none of that matters to me, what matters is that I'm not in any pain, the problem is that I'm going to start that torture again today.
The truth is that I'm weak, I have a lot of skills, but most are at low levels, some of them I've never used because I don't know-how.
It's no surprise that I was the last to get up today, after that section of torture I call training I was in a lot of pain and tired, if it wasn't for having to be on guard in the first shift I would have slept a lot more.
I get out of bed and leave the cabin, I see the girls making another pot of stew, with the meat of the Earth Monkeys, they were dismantled yesterday by Erica while I was training with Kira.
"Good morning, girls." (I)
"Good morning, got up late today master." (Kira)
"Good morning Master." (Ibuki)
"Good morning master, are you better?" (Érica)
"I'm fine Érica, at least for now." (I)
"After we eat Kira and I will resume combat training." (I)
"I'm still against this training." (Kira)
"Me too, the master was injured several times yesterday." (Érica)
"I know you guys are worrying about me, but this training is the most effective for me right now." (I)
I talked to the girls for a while until the stew was ready, so we all ate together before we split up to each do their training.
Kira and I go to the same open space where we trained yesterday.
"Are you sure master?" (Kira)
"For the last time, I'm sure." (I)
"Now let's get started." (I)
This time I tried to start attacking, I ran to her but on my fourth step, Kira became a blur and kicked my leg low making me spin in the air and take a punch that made me fall to the ground.
"The master is too slow, I realized that gradually the master has been able to see my movements a little, but that's useless if you can't move in response." (Kira)
"Ouch...ouch..." (I)
"You're right, but the mere fact that I can gradually follow your movements makes this training worthwhile." (I)
While talking to Kira I use my ability [ Weak Recovery: 9 ] to recover.
After a few minutes of recovering I get up off the floor and resume my training.
Once again I run up to Kira and jump to give her a flirt, but she dodges easily and punches me in the face, knocking me to the ground again.
I start to recover once more with my skill before resuming training.

In the late afternoon, I ended the training, once again I see the benefit of this training, but I can't do it every day.
Even though my body can recover, my mind can't, feeling so much pain continuously is making me mentally tired too.
I gathered everyone inside the cabin for another meeting.
"Are you all right, master?" (Érica)
"You have a horrible face." (Érica)
"I'm fine, just tired and in a lot of pain." (I)
"Master, why are you burdening yourself again with this training?" (Kira)
"Because I'm weak." (I)
"If I want to continue living in this world, I can't be that weak." (I)
"You already told me that monsters are not accepted in any society, only Demis are accepted." (I)
"But even the Demis suffer a lot of discrimination, no matter how far I or Ibuki evolve we'll still be Demis." (I)
"I need to be strong to protect Ibuki and all of you when the time comes." (I)
"We thank the master for thinking so, but we cannot continue to see the master with this torturous training." (Érica)
"The master can count on us when he needs to defend himself against discrimination." (Kira)
"I can't do that, the moment I accepted you, girls, as my handmaidens I made a promise to myself that I would take care of you and protect you." (I)
"In order to fulfill this promise, I have to be stronger." (I)
"But you're right, this training is very taxing not only for my body but also for my mind, I'm going to take a break from it for two days." (I)
"There are other skills I have to test and practice in the meantime." (I)
"What shall I do then, master?" (Kira)
"You're going out with Ibuki to hunt, I want to try to make her evolve one more time before the third prince's plan." (I)
"Ibuki will evolve and grow stronger to help the master." (Ibuki)
"So are we going to start hunting every day?" (Kira)
"No, just help her gain some combat experience, let her fight a little alone." (I)
"Since Ibuki became my servant I never let her fight alone, in fact, most of the time I immobilized enemies and let her kill." (I)
"That's really not a good master, even if she continues to evolve like that, she won't have skills that match her status." (Érica)
"I know that, so I want her to go hunting with Kira so she can get some combat experience without taking too many risks." (I)
After talking to everyone I ended the meeting and let Erica and Ibuki sleep first while Kira and I took the first watch.
"Master, what do you think Ibuki will evolve into?" (Kira)
"She will evolve into an Ogre, probably an Ogre Variant with a closer human appearance." (I)
"Ogres are still considered monsters." (Kira)
"But if what the master said comes true, then she can look like an Oni." (Kira)
"Are Onis considered Demis or monsters?" (I)
"They are considered Demis, they are good at both melee and magic, some ogres sometimes evolve into Oni." (Kira)
"But how is the master sure she won't look monstrous like the Ogres?" (Kira)
"Since I met Ibuki, she has always been a Variant monster, she was a Goblin Variant and then became a Hobgoblin Variant." (I)
"That's why I'm sure when she evolves she'll become a Variant too, another thing that surprised me about her is that she always looked more beautiful and humanized as much as she was a Goblin now." (I)
"I've never seen another Hobgoblin besides Ibuki, but I'm sure they don't look like her." (I)
"Now that the master spoke I realized, changing Ibuki's skin color and the shape of the ears she looks human, I've never heard of a Hobgoblin like that." (Kira)
"The master may be right, if she evolves into an Ogre and continues to humanize her appearance she can easily pass as a member of the Oni race." (Kira)
"Let me ask you a question, do you know why Érica wanted you to get a Tailor too?" (I)
"She talked about it a couple of days ago at the meeting where I told her she wanted to buy illegal slaves who know the Forge and Alchemy." (I)
"The reason is simple, master." (Kira)
"Your lines." (Kira)
"What about my lines?" (I)
"To put it in context for you, people usually wear hemp clothes, nobles are those who wear silk clothes." (Kira)
"But the silk that nobles wear comes from weak monsters, only adventurers who fight monsters wear monster skin clothes or silk made from the threads of a strong monster." (Kira)
"The reason for this is that just like a blacksmith who can awaken the power within the metals or materials of monsters for their weaponry and armor, a component tailor can use leather or thread from monsters to add features, abilities, and spells to the clothes that make." (Kira)
"I think I know what you're getting at." (I)
"As you can produce these lines, having a Tailor would be perfect, the stronger you become, the more valuable the line you produce will be." (Kira)
"You can be right, be prepared, you will be the one to participate in this Black Market auction." (I)
"I know master, it will only happen after the prince's plan, we have time to prepare." (Kira)
"But I don't know if there will be a Tailor in this auction, there will certainly be a Blacksmith and an Alchemist, who is much sought after by criminal groups, but a Tailor is not very much in demand." (Kira)
"We'll think of something after the auction if we don't find one there." (I)
I talked with Kira a little longer until shift time, then we went to wake the others up and went to bed.
My body is still aching from training, but I must say it has helped to increase a lot of my skills, but I am not able to maintain this type of training daily, so I will do it every other day.
Tomorrow I have plans to train some skills that I've never used, I have to test them and confirm how I can use them.
Before going to bed, Kira goes to the warehouse and brought me a canteen, she said that it is the canteen that has spacious storage inside that I asked for, she also said that she kept all the Earth Monkeys blood inside for me, I appreciate it and I drink all the blood.
Ding! Ding!

After I have a full barrel I'll go to sleep.
