(Blake's POV)
Once the next morning arrived, the news about Elfriedden's family and several other elves waking up arrived at my doorstep. By then I was still sleeping, trapped in between Erika, Elizabeth, Eleanora, and Saphira. But the news quickly made us all spring into action.
Yesterday we had investigated a lot and discovered many things, and today it wasn't going to be any different. From the discovery of the Majin Energy and the Nephalem Essence, as I called these new types of purified demonic energies, we also discovered that the Spirit Orbs properties changed, gaining new elemental affinities.
So far, the Majin Core and the Nephalem Core seem like the only two ways the Spirit Orbs will end up, true purification is impossible due to the properties of the spirit orb being permanently changed due to the demonic energy infestation.
There was a lot more to investigate, I needed to test the transformations several times, look for variables and dangerous things, and more. It will truly take a week no matter what, I believe.
However, that'll be for later, I stepped out of the room with the girls, and went to have breakfast, greeting Elfriedden and his family. They were indeed there, healthier than I imagined and looking alive and well.
"Good morning, it looks like your family is awake, Elfriedden," I said with a smile. "Lady Everfrost, young lord Sapphirus, I am glad you're feeling better now."
"Oh, the Summoner! I've heard from my son everything you've done, thank you, we owe you more than you imagine..." Elfriedden's mother sighed. "I am still... processing everything, but so far, I am okay..."
"I'm glad," I nodded, sitting down. "Elfriedden, how is Rosenheim?"
"She's fine, but still a bit tired, went to take a nap after I brought her breakfast," Elfriedden said. "Have you found anything on your research?"
"Yes, a lot," I nodded, taking a sip of the tea served by Cattalina. "Thank you, mother-in-law."
"No problems dear, I'll bring you something to eat too. Erika, Elizabeth, sit down as well," Cattalina said.
"Eh? Really mommy?" Erika wondered, sitting by my left side. "Well okay then~" she took out a piece of bread, covered it on butter and jam, and took a big bite off it. "Cronch! Hmm! I was hungry!"
"I will wait for the pancakes," Elizabeth said with much more patience, Erika's mother was preparing just that.
"I was rather thirsty for some of blood today, so excuse me," Eleanora gently drank from a cup of red and fresh blood.
"Hey, easy there, buddy, I'm a half-demon, I'm called a Cambion, and it's not bad," smiled Erdrich.
"I-I don't care! I am not a demon! Buaaah!" Sapphirus suddenly started crying, running towards his room.
"S-Sapphirus?!" his mother ran to go look for him.
Silence then took over the breakfast again.
"It seems that it'll take time for everyone to process what happened, even poor little Sapphirus is going through a lot," sighed Elizabeth. "Let's make sure to help everyone and support them, guys."
"Yeah, I know..." Chris nodded. "I think I'll go help in the reconstruction of Rosenheim; I can't just sit around doing nothing here."
"But you should rest!" Erika said.
"I know, but I feel totally fine, I swear," Chris said. "Erdrich, do you want to come?"
"Hmm, sure, could do well to keep well exercised," Erdrich nodded. "Anybody else want to come?"
"I can send my golems!" said Alberta. "I would love to join but I was already invited to help Blake."
"Sure thing then," Erdrich nodded.
"Any help is appreciated, thanks..." Elfriedden smiled faintly. "You guys... You're really good friends, you're perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me, well, after Rosenheim..."
"Aww, aren't you all baby and tender with us today?" Erika teased him a bit.

"Such a good friend, yes, now better come with us and reconstruct your girlfriend's home too!" Erdrich laughed, patting his shoulders.
"Why would a prince like me do such type of labor for commoners?!"
