Selina hesitates before doing anything and Leon starts counting "10, 9, 8,7..." Selina rushes over to him and puts her hands on his cheeks and kisses him "6,5-" After her kiss, she panics and moves her down but hesitates as Leon continues "4,3,2, and 1. Times up!" Selina remains unmoving as Leon looks at her "I-I didn't even get to do anything meaningful..." Leon pats her head and laughs "Don't worry, one day I'm sure all of you will get your turn. Until then, you can always ask for a kiss."
Selina slowly shifts to a smile and hugs Leon who almost falls over "Ok, so what I wanted to tell you all was that I made the hideout larger, it's now about the size of a small castle and without furnishings or anything except stone."
All of the girls listen but Naomi butts in "I have favor with a builder in the town. They might be able to help." Leon nods and lays out the plan "First, Naomi will go get her builder friend then Selina and Violet will move all of the required materials to the entrance, and Ill help the builder set the house up for building."
They all nod in agreement as Naomi grabs her dagger and puts it in her holster and leaves to get her friend. Selina and Violet change into more suitable clothing and head out to collect as many resources as they can. Leon sighs and spends his time finding his ring to enter the hideout, he searches all of their packs and finds nothing "Maybe it was stolen? No, nobody is around here-" Leon remembers seeing Jenifer back at the hill with Violet.
Leon didn't suspect Jenifer yet, he wanted to believe that he just lost it somewhere. He sat outside and thought for a moment as Naomi appeared with a light blue-haired girl, she was about as tall as Selina but she was wearing an apron and had some tools on her belt "This is my friend, her name is Ms. Josephine and she accepted the build request." Josephine curtsied and smiled at Leon "Hello, I came on behalf of Naomi, she needed a favor from me."
Leon was showing Josephine the plans for their hideout while Violet and Selina played with some animals, Selina chased any big birds around and Violet was feeding the baby birds. Naomi was relaxing in a nearby tree when she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. She hopped down and went to investigate.
She traveled through a few overgrown areas when she reached a small clearing with a girl gently relaxing in the middle "This forest is not safe for citizens to be in. Many dangers lurk around here, you should return to the village." The girl turned to look at Naomi and smiled "Well, nice to meet you. My name is Jenifer, most people call me Jenny."
Naomi remembered something as Jenifer quickly pointed at Naomi and snapped her finger, Naomi looked at her and couldn't remember what she was thinking about "So why are you out here all alone? Are you looking for someone?" Jenifer smiled sweetly and stood up "No, I know where my someone is, but he has forgotten about me so I came to survey his life and see if he had a good reason."
Naomi walked up and relaxed as she sat down "Well, do you still love him?" Jenifer kindly put her head into her hand and thought "Something like that..." Naomi gestured to herself "Well then you should be like me and be more assertive, that might get him." Jenifer's face flashed wicked for a split moment but quickly returned to normal "Well, I think your advice was helpful, maybe I will go to the village and find a way to get him to love me back."
Naomi looked up at Jenifer who had stood up with a determined look on her face "Good for you, just make sure you be careful of the other girl he's got his eye on." Jenifer looked shocked at Naomi "If you are wondering how I know, its because any guy would fall for you but if they already had a girl they loved they might be too busy to notice you." Jenifer giggled sweetly and turned away from Naomi "Well, I shall be careful of her, she might not take kindly to me."
Naomi sighed and relaxed a little bit more as Jenifer's turned face returned to its naturally wicked form and glared over her shoulder at Naomi, she giggled sweetly and walked off out of the clearing. Naomi was too busy relaxing to notice, she was thinking about how she was lucky to have someone like Leon instead of being alone like Jenifer was.
By the time Naomi realized Jenifer was gone, it was far too late for her to go get her. Naomi stood up and sighed "I feel like I've heard of her for some reason but she looked unrecognizable." Naomi thought for a moment then shrugged as she walked back to the hideout, Jenifer who lay in waiting in the bushes nearby smiled wickedly and backed into the darkness of the trees again.
Leon had finished going over the plans for Josephine when Naomi had walked back into the area "Th-that's not a hard task to do but it will require way more magic then I have..." Leon laughed and waved her off "Don't worry about magic, I have plenty to share if you need it." Josephine flinched and Naomi walked up "What's going on?" Josephine looked over at Naomi still shocked "He offered to share his magic to let me build the plans."
Naomi flinched too as Leon remained confused "Wh-whats wrong? It's just to help you finish building right?" Naomi walked up and whispered in his ear "Leon, the way to share magic between people is by kissing them." Leon flinched too and sighed "Sorry, I didn't realize that was the way to share the magic in this world. I might be able to help you without doing all of that though." Josephine calmed down as Leon pulled out a small ring "This ring can hold magic and give it to the user, so if I pour magic into the ring as you use in on building we can share without kissing."
Josephine sighed in relief as Naomi repeated her "That is a good system, Mr. Leon." Leon looked down and smiled awkwardly "Yeah. But you don't have to use any prefix you can just call me Leon." Josephine nodded and looked around "So where am I building this building at? Also, do you have any materials for me to use?" Leon thought for a moment then looked at Josephine "Youll find out where when the times right, plus we have plenty of materials... So can I ask how do you build it? I thought all people in this world had a basic element of magic."
Josephine giggled and Naomi sighed and put her head into her head and shook it "I have a Unique Magic, whatever I imagine because reality if I have the right materials nearby." Leon thought for a moment then gave it up as he looked up at the sun and saw the sun going down "I was just thinking we should continue this in the morning too." Leon looked back Josephine as she continued "Do any of you have a crystal for me to use to get back?"
Naomi pulled out her crystal she had and handed it to Leon who routinely transferred the data to his ring and quickly checked it "I can take you there, you three go inside and get ready for bed." Josephine looked confusedly at Leon as Violet and Selina walked back and went over to the wall with Naomi, then disappeared. Josephine noticed it and walked over to see what had happened but Leon had already teleported her into the middle of her shop "I... What? How did we get here?"
Leon grinned and pointed at his ring "I made this ring with a teleport crystal, I'll explain it tomorrow, for now, you go get some rest and I'll be back in the morning to pick you up." Josephine nodded hesitantly and repositioned herself as Leon waved and left. Josephine rattled her brain since all of Leon's inventions seemed impossible to her.
Leon appeared directly in the hideout and looked at Violet fighting with Selina over some meat and Naomi eating peacefully on the opposite side of the fire "Girls, you do know there's more than one piece of meat right? Just grab a different piece." Violet looked over at Leon as Selina snatched the meat from her took a bite "Haha, I win, now this meat is mine." Violet growled and tackled Selina as they rolled around and fought, Leon muttered as he sat next to Naomi "They aren't even listening, are they?"
Naomi seemed lost in thought as Leon waved in front of her face "S-sorry, I was thinking about this girl I met in the woods today, she was looking for the person she loved in that forest, but he hadn't noticed her love for him. I felt sad thinking that someone didn't get as lucky as I did with love." Leon thought for a moment then suddenly went wide-eyed as he thought about who she was talking about "By any chance is the girl's name, Jenifer or Jenny?..."
