Vacuse did as he was told quickly, not because he liked listening to Rith, but because he heard an unfamiliar urgency in his voice that made him quickly take out energy potions from his ring and begin to drink them.
And almost immediately, his soul space began to hungrily suck in the energy. It was as if his body was starving.
In the blink of an eye, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he had drunk up to twenty bottles, and he was only just starting.
"Well... someone must be really starving," Kagerou said, shaken out of his terrified state.
After he drank the potions, his soul space had the energy it needed, and his stomach growled with hunger.
"I don't like this," Rith said.
The Captain ordered her men to begin roasting meat for Vacuse, while water was provided and a cloth-parted area for privacy. The second thing Vacuse noticed was how badly he stank, so he ordered a wash.
"What don't you like?" Vacuse thought back.
