"Hi… good morning…'' It was Ridge who greeted like that with a flushed red face.
After yesterday, I couldn't find her all day. I tried to apologize to her by telepathy but she wouldn't answer me, and then this morning I found her on my bed in the same position that we were in yesterday… My hands were all over her and today her face also had a rather satisfied look in her… apart from just being flushed.. red. This sort of sight first thing in the morning…. Ahh… just where was my life headed? the thing that was more concerning was that, Ridge was looking at me as if I was all she could ever want.
"... good morning… umm sorry about yesterday… but I think I made the same mistake today too...so sorry again.." I was trying to play cool but my head was getting heated. Ridge was beautiful and always had a cute but elegant face on her but now she looked Lewd and sensual, no, not just that, she practically was the embodiment of sexual satisfaction, as if she had the night of her life. It was arousing me to no end just looking at her like this, also it was morning… I had to go… nature was calling!
"No, I have finally understood something.." on the other hand Ridge wasn't taking off like yesterday, she was rather composed or should I say that she had come to an understanding maybe but still she was red in the face…
"What do you mean you understand..?" I asked Ridge, by now, I had also extracted my hands from her. As hard as it may have been… I can't say that I felt as guilty as I looked.
"Yes I understand, since Rekka you're the man that has been able to make me…. Um um….uh…. I...I.. I will be only yours now okay! That's all...!!!!!!" While she made that shocking declaration, I was left in my room as she had flown out of the room again in her small form.
I couldn't find the head or the tail In this situation… as the sudden urge overtook me and I finally sniffed my hands….
[It is said that spirits can get attached to the things that can overpower them…]
Hey..!! from when did you start to know this trivia about spirits...huh! Amanori….I thought you only cared about killing people…
[Well, I don't really know myself…maybe from a boring decade in my life that I don't remember…?]
It was extremely embarrassing… I had just smelled my hands as if I was a pervert after touching Ridge… I hate to say this but I am a pervert who actually felt nice after giving into his urges… ah… what have I done..
As usual Mai was looking at this scene from a corner of the room. it really is fascinating that I can only see her after the scene unfolds...like she was a stealthy Ninja..
"I think you have something to say….Mai?" It seemed to me that Mai was rather quiet… I was sure she would make a drama again…
"Young master, I would like to apologize.." she said as she helped me change.
"Hmm? what for…?"
"For doubting your natural talents…" She said, making my thoughts even more obscure.
"What natural talents….?" I knew that I would regret asking this question but I feel like I just had to.. I don't remember last night at all, if Mai can at least clear what I had done… maybe I could get to know just what Ridge was experiencing.
"Young master from the day you have come, you have shown your knowledge and natural talents in many aspects but you never approached any women or girls, so I had thought that you were inexperienced and to shy to approach, though you made a confession to Lady Asadeli you hadn't approached her after that, so I had thought you needed some confidence in yourself… but after seeing you subduing a spirit like that only in mere nights, I feel that your talents are beyond my comprehension… it seems even if you break a girl into submission, that girl would still walk to her destruction every single night!" Um miss! You are talking about a boy who has only stepped in his teen years okay!
"What..... These talents you speak of…." Composing myself I asked, feeling my head beginning to hurt.
"Yes, Young master, you are a master at pleasing girls, I can't avoid that fact anymore…" As Mai said that with a cherry expression….. And a new found pride forming within her...
So she is calling me that! I am a womanizer huh...
"I am sorry to say this Mai but I don't think I am that great, as great as you are saying…." It's not like I go left and right charming girls. It was special with Leila. I was naturally drawn to her. Apart from that I don't think I have done many lewd things… Well I do sometimes fantasize about some maids but … that doesn't make me a ladies Man does it!? Moreover if I really knew how to pleasure women, I definitely would have been way more confident around them.
then again, I did do things in my sleep... and I don't remember a bit of what I have done at all, no matter what heaven defying things I may have done... Mai who was proclaiming about my perverted deeds in a great way only made me feel even more like a scum bag.
"Yes Master I know You are beyond my comprehension! The way you made Lady Ridge moan was really devine!" oh man I was done, Mai was looking as if she had made up her mind about something.. I am sure that she will do some radical things...
As those thoughts went around in my mind, I finished my breakfast and then Systy came to me..
"Master… what are we going to do today…?" She looked full of energy. I guess she enjoyed working with me… After the guild incident was over, she had changed somewhat, her behaviour was a little more casual towards me. I of course welcomed that attitude. Systy was near my age and I seemed to be able to be normal in front of her… to think that someone would treat me normally even after I had Amanori... although all the maids treated me very fondly, still, there was just something more about the maids like Mai and the others around her.
"Hmm I want to keep it on the 2nd floor for now, I think from today we will be working underground floors and then we will finish the small tasks, ooh yeah Mai are there any light magic users among our maids…?"
"Yes. there are 3 who can use light magic…"
"Hmm, then can they come with me…? the underground floors would be dark and I want to make a plan to light it up…"
"Hmm, using light magic? but master, that won't be permanent, even a light orb can stay for only 2 to 3 hours at best."
"Don't worry Systy, I've got an Idea, I just need someone who can use light magic to make those orbs…" As I answered Systy's questions, her doubts had been cleared and Mai said "as expected form master"
Well I don't know what she expects from me but I do know…..this was a brilliant Idea that I had created.. Self sufficient energy source… who knew I had the biggest boon already in my hand.
...….
As the 3 maids came forward, they were actually someone who I had already known all along. Although I knew most of the maids in the mansion, I was familiar with all of them. There were some who I was more close with than the others... I mean, it had only been a few months or more since my stay here but I knew that I had been able to make a space in everyone's hearts with my food and friendly attitude. Moreover, I was a kid, girls tended to pamper me around the house.
At this point I had no idea just how many hugs and kisses I had been given on many occasions. The maids were very clingy. I know it was not because of any sexual tension, but because of my cute face. Yeah, being a kid was good. Moreover… I felt myself falling more and more in my granny's ways… I wonder if in the future I'll also try to conquer these maids. Sadly in the future, I would never have to do any conquering. Because the grown up me is gonna be a little more than just a handsome man… and I say sadly because I would see these saintly maids turning into something I would never have hoped for.. .even in my worst of dreams...
As the light mages came forward I saw them...
It was Lia, Elia and Sarah, they were always with Mai so since Mai was most of the time taking care of me, I knew all three of them very well.
"Master, we will be at your service." they said in perfect sync. Sarah was timid and shy but also showed a bit of enthusiasm. To think they would be so happy to get to work…
"Well I can certainly say that you guys do look like you can use light magic with Lia and Elia's bright nature and Sarah's saintly looks... I would expect nothing less!"
"He he he '' the younger teens were happy by my praise and Sarah got a bit shy so this house certainly didn't have any shortage of beautiful girls. I wonder what would have happened to me if I were in older…. Being around that many girls all good looking can be like heaven and hell…
After getting set and giving everyone my instructions, I went to the building that I had just finished yesterday. from the first floor a staircase went downwards. it was dark, so I asked Sarah to make a light ball and just as the name, a ball of light came to be after her chant….
"This would probably last 2 hours, Master, is this alright?"
"Yes, it will be fine."
The whole building was encased in void spirit energy; it could easily power a spell if it was attached to the building. Since void magic didn't have a distinct nature. with some modifications, low level elemental magic could be powered by it. As I went down, I took the Light ball spells in my hand and attached them to the house like light bulbs. I had learned how to enchant from some books in the library so I was just enchanting the spells to the specific places that I might need. As I went down the stairs, I used 3 light balls to brighten up the stairs. The places I put the bulbs in were already designated when I built this whole thing.
Now we were in the underground floor one… it was huge in size. Over 100 meters was really large for a home. but hey, when you make something, it's better to make it big rather than small.. Having a big home made others think that you are wealthy in this world and who is to say We won't get visitors and guests. Since I have proposed to Leila, the country's princess, even if I don't like to be a man who flaunts his wealth, I still have to let people know that I am not a normal guy. The princess of their nation would be living in a place that is far from just the word luxury could describe. Not to mention, I have over the top money… not making use of it was… kinda waste wasn't it?
The first floor was divided in 3 places… one was the pool area. Yes that was right! It was an underground pool that would take 50% space. surrounding the pool were some open space that could be used for other side activities. The pool itself was big too and it was deep in different sections of the pool so even if someone can't swim, they can just stay in the shallow water. You may not know it but you can do many different types of training in the pool, as such I made the pool's structure sturdier than it looks. Not only that, after suddenly getting a power boost it could be useful in figuring out your body's improvement if you train underwater.
The remaining 2 rooms were obviously empty but one could be used as an underground game-room and the other can be used as a basement or other means. as I lighted all these rooms, 10 Light balls were needed but it still looked like it could use some more brightness.
On the other hand, Sarah was getting tired. I guess even the Light balls took a lot of mana. She did make close to 15 light balls in less than 30 minutes, which must be a lot. So as she took a rest, Lia was the one to volunteer next.
"I'll light the whole place up!" her resolve was strong so we proceeded downwards again, as such, soon her mana was also depleted. It took 10 Lightballs to exhaust her. She looked depressed but I patted her head and said that was great, which brought her back to her usual upbeat self.
Elia also puffed her chest as if to say she would try to do better…. The 2nd basement floor was mostly open space. I hadn't made any compartment on this floor, so it was just a huge open area… I used 5 more light balls to brighten up the place then moved to the 3rd basement floor. This floor looked different than the others. It was 80 meters wide open space and in the 20 meters 2 rooms were made, there were still a lot more open spaces here and there but for now, I had no plans. I was thinking that one room would be used as the Lost dimension and the other would be used to keep equipment and other items that were needed while training, since the 80 meter space would be used as a training space or a field. This whole floor was made the strongest of all the other floors… it could easily take blows after blows of my 300% charged attacks.
The whole space was ventilated so even fire magic could be used easily. If we stayed in one place, we could feel a slight wind going around all over the floor. This was possible by systems calculations; all the underground floors had been made the same way so the wind would flow through the floors…. After I made the whole floor light up with light balls, I made some final adjustments with miasma. I coated the walls with paint and made the ceiling look smooth. It was all miscellaneous tasks… but those were the things that brought the beauty in the work.
The walls and ceilings were white. That's how I painted the whole interior of the house too. one by one, the floors became a lot more lively only with changing colours.
"Wow Master, I can't believe you can do these things…" Systy was fascinated while seeing this.
"Well…. I do like to build stuff, guess I am a bit too much into my hobbies…. It is kind of weird since I have the cursed sword of destruction…."
After our works on each floor were finished, the building looked like a finished modern day flat. Apart from the missing doors and windows… I wanted to make them too but I thought to also see what this world had to offer. Since it was still midday by the time we had finished our work on the building, I asked Mai while I was having a drink…
"Mai, arrange some good carpenters…"
"Hmm Young master.. He he.. I have already arranged for them, they will arrive shortly.."
"Wow you're really resourceful…" I was done being surprised by her. In my view, she was the best maid one could find… apart from her forcing things on me that is….
After a while, some people arrived. Everyone of them looked 40 or more but they had well built bodies and they also had various tools with them too… I guess that they really liked to stay prepared to start working anytime.
"It is an honour to meet you Sir Rekka.. I am Vladim Crest.. And these are my crew." a slightly old looking man came forward. He looked old but his eyes were clear and as he was introducing he was also checking out the construction behind me... it seems he is someone who lets his curosity do half the work.
"Hello Nice to meet you."
"Master, these are the finest craftsmen around here, Master Merlin always got their help for these types of works…" Mai said from the side. I guess being in a good position helps find good workers too..
"Oh my, we are just mere workers, we don't need such praise Miss maid, we were just happy that we could be in help of the Hero's grandson." He looked pleased to be here, guess working for the heroes is also a work he is looking forward to. Being in a position of high caliber… I never had this opportunity in my first life… the feeling was really empowering...
"Well I believe Praise should be given where it is due, so then Mr. Vladim the work I want you all to do is….." I started to explain that I wanted to get some windows and doors installed, I also showed them some types of doors that I had a general Idea of. They were really surprised by my Ideas and then I asked if they could also do the flooring work. I had many leftover trees that could be really useful to make a great floor… for the building.
Like that the final phase to completing my home was going to start. Thinking about it… I really feel glad that my home was nearly done. The place that would always be mine after all.. Being stranded… the feel of standing right there looking at a place that I could come back to no matter what… It felt so reassuring.
