As my explanation to Mr. Vladim finished, he nodded after taking notes.
"Sir Rekka… I have understood your requests… I can see that most of the heavy work is done. We just have to install the doors and windows. The glass can be easily obtained too… and with the highest quality of wood that you have offered, fear not, everything shall be prepared with the best work we can offer!"
Mr. Vladim said feeling proud, was working with Treants such a big deal? But not only him, his workers looked sparkling in anticipation at when they were going to start.
"Ooh that's great! So when do you guys want to start then…!" I was happy with their attitudes. I had given them everything related to furnishing designs to fully prepare the mansion, all of these were the designs from the 21st century but even if a bit different, they didn't falter seeing this new aesthetic at all, on the contrary, I seem to have sparked their interest even more.
Since only skilled carpenters can do this type of work… I guess it was best to call them here. They did look bewildered when I brought out Treants one after another but they got used to it. Being the heroes grandson, I was more than qualified to possess high quality monster materials.
After taking note of the work, Vladim did some calculations and started answering.
"Yes, we can start as soon as you order… although I suggest that we procure the glass materials first… it is a bit hard to travel with…" well that was true, glass was valuable in this world. If not for the over the top money that I had now, I couldn't even dream of buying enough of it to complete my home.
"Well I can handle the carrying, so how about now…?"
"But Sir Rekka we can't let you do our work… that would be.." He looked like he was freaking out.. Ooh I forgot that this was also included in their work but I also wanted to make their work a bit easier…or rather faster.
"Don't worry I'll just help you guys with the carrying, that would save a lot of your time since I have storage magic…" Even though I said that he looked a bit troubled. Then Mai came forward and said,
"Think nothing of this Mr. Vladim, Master Rekka does not judge people by heritage or class… This is normal for him. I hope you accept our Master's help; he does it in the goodness of his heart.. Sir Merlin has passed his humbleness you see..." After hearing that everyone let out sighs becoming less worried and Mr.Vadim also got a bit relaxed…
"Indeed forgive me for not taking your help Sir Rekka but I am very happy that we could be of your help too… I can assure you this. we can offer you the best work there is." He said that proudly. His crew looked full of motivation to do their best work. They did look capable. I should expect everything to go well.
So after our business talks were over, we got to buy some glasses and I took them all in my storage. Since it was a lot of glass, taking all of those back to our place would have taken more than just a little amount of time and money… By the end of the day, they had all taken measurements and all the data they would need for the work. Mr. Vladim said that they would continue from tomorrow early in the morning. Their workforce looked really efficient. I can't believe they did all the measurement work of 5 full floors in half a day.
Since they would work on the building, I was planning to work on the grounds of my mansion.
The field isn't dead anymore. I could even see some green grass growing here and there, so behind the building, I built a shading umbrella and a big place to relax in the backyard… I built a small fountain too. I also paved the way to the building from the backyard. I planted some trees in a place that could be called a garden. I had gotten some good flower seeds too, so I sowed them in the garden. That's how a nice garden in the backyard came to be.
At the side of the building, there was an open space 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. so I tried to make a greenhouse. We could probably grow some vegetables and fruits there. Since the front looked rather open and only had the front gates, I wanted to do something about the open space but I couldn't get any Ideas at all…
That's when Ossan our Butler came and greeted me. He looked around as I shared my Ideas with him about the greenhouse. He was really fascinated by the Idea. Normally he would be with my grandparents all the time, since they haven't returned home in quite a while, Ossan might have come to see what I was doing.
"So what do you think about the front Ossan? Do you Have any Ideas..?"
"Master Rekka, I believe the open space also looks good. We can make a small pond that would look good with your fine mansion. and make a dedicated corner in front for outdoor cooking. We can also make a paved road to the front gate from the entrance.." Wow, Ossan just gave me a whole bunch of good Ideas that would look good too... rather than standing structures, some ponds and bar-b-q set up would be more appealing in front of the mansion.
"Wow Man, that's some good Ideas."
"I am pleased that I could be of help to Master Rekka…" He looked happy to be of service. Ossan may be strict about his duties and over the maids to always be prim and proper but deep down he was a nice old man.
"What's that ?" I asked Ossan because he brought out a large paper with a magic circle on it. After digging through magic books from Granny's collection, I was now able to tell when I saw magic scribbles.
"Master Rekka, I heard you were planning to use magic to control light and some other things in the Mansion, so I have brought a controller so anyone can utilize the spells that are enchanted in the mansion, you would only need mana to make it active and if we attach this magic circle on the Mansion anyone can use it…. There is also a security system in check so you can limit the controlling people so just anybody can't control the spells.."
"Well that's a handy thing to have. I thought I had to control the whole mansion individually, well thanks! That's one less hassle to worry about." That was one thing off my mind now.. The house can easily maintain its own mana so this controller can be like a remote tool.
...….
"Wow today really was a long day…" I was laying on the bed in my room after dinner. Granny and Gramps were still at the capital and Alice hadn't come home too, so I could say that only me and the maids were home.. Well, if Granny were here, she would have talked or spent time with me. It was nice and fun spending time with her. Although I would like more if gramps would have told me more about his personal life other than just lecture me on every way you could fight… really, he was a true battle junky. Trying to drill in every method to fight, he was the exact opposite of granny who only wanted me to know how I could fool around more and more.
But right now I was alone…. And for some reason, I was also a bit horny….. It seemed that I had entered puberty earlier than I thought… Leila was the one that I was daydreaming for now… I had a really hard time forgetting the lewd maids and especially Ridge… oh man… Why are the girls in this world so passionate? What happened to all that modesty? a girl was supposed to have…? or am I the reason the girls are like this? Where was the struggle that all those protagonists had to go through? While all these events that can be considered lewd happened.. Not once had I been called pervy… well.. can't be helped since I was a kid… but still… Was it really this easy?
When the workers worked in my mansion, the maids accompanying me were all looking rather emotionless like dolls…. Their faces that used to light up when they were only around me were nowhere to be found. Girls are a weird existence. I hope I can understand them more as I grow up. But thinking that they only let me see their smiles… as a guy… yeah… I feel embarrassed to admit it but it is more than pleasing to think about.
Since I was forbidden from leaving home alone, I couldn't even sneak into Leila's house. I didn't know myself what I would want from her right now… granny taught me many things, but all those surpassed rated-R knowledge by a long leap… just thinking about it makes me feel like a degenerate. I could hardly try any of that with Leila who had just become my girlfriend. Thanks to this dilemma, I had no idea how we can approach one another while still being new to each other. While I was pondering over stuff like this,
At that time Mai came in. Following her, Lia, Elia, Sarah and Seri came. Systy was already outside my room since that seemed to be her place to be for some reason… well she also came in after everyone.
"Master…. Lady Asadeli has invited you to her home…. We have already prepared, we can leave if you want…" Mai said something that piqued my interest.
"What now? but isn't it night already..?"
"Yes you will be staying there for the night…. Lady Alice also wants you to go.."
"Hmm, okay but do you all also need to come….?"
"We are Masters Personal maids, we will go with Master everywhere, even Mistress has ordered us to accompany you at all times!" Lia answered enthusiastically…
"Yes Master, that is correct, we were even ordered to not leave you alone on the bed too but since you never accepted that offer we had to endure not doing our work." Mai said, looking dejected. Don't give me that face! I have a proper girlfriend now!
"Yeah, alright I get it. You don't have to bring that subject up okay…?" What can I say? I wanted to be faithful to Leila. so I really tried hard to not get in the temptation of my maids. Apart from Mai, all of them were honest and pure. I doubt they even knew about anything past kissing..
Mai had said she was given proper education on developing bodies so she knew the whole history about intimacy… So I guess the rest of them had been excluded from those teachings...
After getting in my black outfit which could be called adventuring gear too, I went to Leila's home with the Maids. I was also thinking about why Alice wanted to meet me. That girl had disappeared after that morning spar.
Anyway, Leila also lived in a mansion provided by the guild. since she was a guild master, she got some perks like these…
After we got to Leila's mansion, I found a maid. She looked like Mai or should I say that Mai was the one that resembled this middle aged lady. She let us in and showed us the way. since I was looking a bit questioningly at the lady, Mai introduced us.
"Master This is my mother…"
"I see, no wonder you resemble her beauty…" that's right, Mai's mother was beautiful alright. Maybe even more than Mai. She looked so prim and proper… the mature elegant vibe I got from her was overwhelming. As a maid she probably was a master at her field.
"Oh my such a sweet talker, I can see that my daughter has got a fine Master, how proud I am!"
"Oh thanks Mother!" Mai showed genuine happiness from her answer. but I thought what good? serving me isn't really worth much. I mean, I didn't have that much worth like my grandparents yet.. Rather I don't even pay them, My grandparents do.
As such talks went among the mother and daughter, we arrived. Leila was sitting on a sofa and Alice was there too. after seeing me, Leila smiled and came towards me but unlike her usual reserved behaviour, she came towards me and hugged me, I guess she was more comfortable when at home… I did come to meet her any time I could, but I think since we are working at the guild usually, we have gotten closer over our meetings when I passed on my monster materials.
As she embraced me, a sweet scent hit my nose. It was Leila of course and after sitting beside Leila, the maids got some tea then the room was emptied with only Leila, me and Alice there… Alice looked composed to me but Leila's happiness meter was on the roof for some reason. Whatever happened had to be good.
"Rekka, Mother just sent a letter saying she has proposed something….to master Merlin and Melinda…."
Leila said while getting closer to me, she was flirting with me without any reserve but I was embarrassed a little cause Alice was looking straight at me with dead eye's
"Okay…. What is it…?" I asked while keeping Leila at bay.. Unlike when we are at my place or the guild, Leila can be daring when we are alone. And today she felt even more resolute as if she was going for something risky today. her eyes that denied any and all negative outcome would probably even say yes to any and all proposal I I give her today.
"It was Marriage between the 3 of us." Alice was the one that said that.
"What!?" I was left speechless. I could think of a reason that Leila was in potential for marriage but how did Alice get into this?! Was this like buy one and get one free? Leila who grumbled that Alice was the one to announce it again looked at me and started saying.
"Yes! I was surprised that my mother approved of this.." Leila looked happy. Unconcerned that her sister was also going to get hitched to me.
"Okay... I get that but why Alice too… I think marrying me is the last thing she would want." rather Leila was happy about getting married to the same guy as her sister? did I miss something? wasn't Leila very upset with men who didn't have proper delicacy?
As I said that, I looked at Alice…
"That is true, I can't stand people like you, you have strength but you do what? you build a house and cook!…. Rather delicious foods so I won't complain over that but over all you have strength, no matter what, when you having so much strength still humble yourself soo much, I can't just look and do whatever I want when I have less strength than you? I believe that the strong make the rules, and if you make yourself humble and have tolerance of things that make my skin crawl.... I have to accept that... so I will accept this marriage too! I did give my word that whoever could overwhelm me in a fight, I will marry him. So be glad that you were able to beat me!"
"Wait a minute then what if someone stronger came along! Will you leave me for them then?" I was freaking out, I mean… If Alice thought like that… I would definitely not like that situation.
"You fool!! You think I would wag my tail for anyone..!!!?? If someone like that came by, I would kill you myself before seeing you get beaten!...I would never let the 2 heroes' grandson get beaten like that….!"
As I was shouted at by Alice, I did realize that the girl had her priorities to protect… in a way, it was amusing to think that even if someone was stronger, she would at least think of killing me rather than go with someone else.
"Well.. sorry… but….. I don't mind Marrying both of you.. Also sorry to think of you like that Alice… but Leila is that alright with you? For me, I would be happy even after only marrying you... rather I had only the plan of marrying you, I don't actually see myself making you happy with other women accompanying me." I said my true thought's, I don't even know what kind of relationships I had in my 2nd life, and in my first life, I didn't actually have that much of a relationship going on, so I was walking blindly on a rope, I don't want to grab everything only to slip it from my hands like sand.
"Rekka you are a charmer, I knew that I couldn't have you alone the day I fell in love with you. but all great men tend to marry a lot of girls. I am sure in time you will have to be prepared for things like this. what ever happens, even with other girls, I will support you with them too, intern, they can support me with you too." Leila was mature and knowledgeable it seems, so she could easily take this decision or maybe she was already done thinking about the future, I guess my mind was the one that was at fault. But what was this calmness… Why was Leila so calm in a situation like this…? wasn't this a big deal? If Alice were to get married to me too.. Well… I guess nothing much would change… at worst… yeah… I might actually get to live a fantasy where I get to have two sisters to myself.
But man, I didn't think I would get a chance to marry 2 sisters… and both of them are beautiful too. That is rather tempting! But what about my stone-like defenses! I am trying so hard to resist other girls… and here Leila said others would be likely to fall for me and me in reverse…? That meant she never had any faith in me at all!!
