Chapter 199 Do You Have A Girlfriend?

I pressed my hand to it and then through it to connect with Mr. Tree, but I had to blast through three feet of concrete before I hit the dirt. The moment I did, I could feel Mr. Tree again, and the roots came to me as I pulled my arm back, and tree roots came with it.

"Wah?! You can control trees?! What else can you do?" Cecil asked as she rushed over to my side, grabbing my arm, her blonde hair swinging in the air.

"Anything that you can think of," I said as an apple grew from a pink flower from one of the roots. It grew over to Cecil, and she grabbed it and started eating right away as more fruits of different varieties started to grow.

"Do you have a girlfriend or a partner? I might not be much, but I can do whatever you need! This is amazing! Having you would be like dating paradise!" Cecil moaned as she bit into a peach that leaked down her cheeks.

"I have ten already," I said with a smile, and Cecil waved her hand.

"Even numbers are for squares! You need a good odd one in your life! I can not only be the odd number, but I can fill the role as your oddest girlfriend yet!" Cecil declared, swinging her half-eaten peach dramatically.

"Sorry, there is a long line of women trying to get a position that doesn't exist. Like I said, I will get the girls to find you the perfect man just for you," I said, and Cecil let out a sigh and let go of my arm.

"Well, it was worth a try. You are the king of the world, so it doesn't hurt a girl to try to get in on that action, right? The other girls aren't going to attack me, are they? Do you have a bunch of Yandere? Or are they all Tsundere? You seem like the type that likes a difficult woman!" Cecil giggled.

"The harem is pretty diverse. Every girl has their own special personality that I get along with. So more than others. They will also not try to attack you, but if you run into Melody, ignore her and walk in the other direction," I said, smiling to myself. I couldn't introduce any women to her, or another fight would break out.

That made me curious to know what the meetings must be like? I wished I could get in on them, but at the same time, I probably didn't want to know what went on there.

"So now what?" Cecil asked, taking a bite of another peach.

"I am going to relax in the bath for a bit and think things through. There must be a way that I can defeat the Shalgoth," I said and started to create a regeneration pool in the far corner of the room.

"You are going to what? Take a bath? Right now?" Cecil asked skeptically.

I nodded as roots stretched over and started to pump out the green liquid. It had become oozier then when I first started to use it, but it also worked much better.

"Yes, the fight with the Shalgoth took a lot of me, and I have been dealing with other things as well. I don't need to sleep; I just need to recharge with this pool. You can come in as well. I will leave a towel for you to wear so you can strip down," I explained.

"You want me to get in the bath with you? Are you sure you don't just want to have some fun while we are at it? It can be our little secret?" Cecil asked as she casually stripped off her clothes and got into the pool. "Ooo, that feels amazing!"

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"No, I just want to think for now. Once I have enough cement removed, I will make an elevator, and I will send you up to the top. I will come up with you so I can talk to my wife, Sofia," I explained as I walked over and got into the pool.

I let out a sigh and leaned back as I felt the regeneration of my energy begin. I closed my eyes and started to think. Knowing that there was a person under the Shalgoth told me that it needed a host just like the Annokale. That could mean that there might be a way to separate them, but I wasn't sure. I wished I could have gotten a scan of the creature, but the Silence was preventing me from using any of my menus or scanning.

"If you can get Floyd out of the creature, then he might know how to deal with it. If he is still alive," Cecil said, and I opened my eyes to find her sitting beside me. "Sorry, I have been down here for a week now, and I thought that I was going to die. I just want to be close to you for now, if that is okay?"

"Sure, I don't mind. You are strong for keeping it together," I said.

"That is because of Mox. I know that he didn't seal the door for me, but having him here to talk to and bug kept me sane after the monsters killed everyone. It was really horrible to watch," Cecil said, and I put an arm around her shoulder, and Cecil leaned into me, closing her eyes.

Within minutes, Cecil was softly snoring on my shoulder, and I let her sleep as I created the elevator to take us up. I might have to see if Omega knew what the Shalgoth was or maybe Calishora. Her body should be ready by now.

For now, I closed my eyes and relaxed as I let my body recharge for the next round with the shadow monster Shalgoth. Whatever this thing was, it couldn't be left here, but I couldn't let it go either. If worse came to worst, I would just go and study where it was being kept before to get a better idea of how to deal with it.
