Chapter 426 - 426: The Story of the Base Getting More Complete

Hey, not yet? I've started getting bored of the confession.

"But when I went home what floated in my mind was only Aoi-kun's face. Why am I so concerned about Aoi-kun I wondered. And I remembered. Aoi-kun's face at that time. With that face I felt like Aoi-kun was saying 'again.'"

I didn't say it though.

"So I contacted Karen-kun. Don't contact anymore, it's a nuisance. And I also contacted my close friend. I did something like this. Then, she said no matter what he says the friendship with Akie won't change."

What are you crying about. You didn't come to make me hear such friendship play. Is 'I like you, please hold me' not yet?

"Now I can apologize. Aoi-kun, I'm really sorry. Even though we were childhood friends, I couldn't help you at that time. Saying I was weak at that time is an excuse though. I'd be happy if you forgive me. I also want to become strong like Aoi-kun. Today I want to make it a small first step for that."

Huh?

"Thank you for listening to the talk. Sorry for this hour. You don't have to see me off. It's right nearby. Next time I want to talk slowly. Contacting is fine, right?"

"Ah."

Akie stands up straight and extends her hand. No matter how I look it's not pulling that and hugging, but a handshake. Can't be helped so I also stand and shake hands. The sensation of the hand after a long time. In lower elementary school there were times we went to school holding hands together.

"Then, good night."

"Ah, good night."

Eh, eh, eeeh. The end? This is the end? The erotic development?

Too much so I ended up standing there for a while.

W-well, fine. She said let's talk again. At that time she might say hold me, haha, hahaha.

I took a shower, felt refreshed, and headed to the PC. I launch the site. It's the same "Demon God" festival as always.

I sent a simple summary of the events directly to "DD."

After a while a reply came. Indeed there was a clan member called "Banchou," and he was called the undead killer. That he left the clan without notice, and after that personal contact also couldn't be made. I searched, but it seems his Master lost.

It was as we assessed.

As a result of the subsequent exchanges with "DD," it was decided to hold a clan master meeting inside "World." The so-called serious ones. Those trying to approach the mysteries of "Demon God" and "World" while contacting Master-class monsters. That also applies to clans other than the Ten Greats. Of course the scale would be inferior compared to Ten Greats clans, but encountering a case like this time is fully possible.

Then, it was a meeting to gather the clan masters of the serious ones, have various common understandings, and be able to exchange information without waiting for information upload to the site.

"Welcome back, Master."

"O-oh. Ohh?"

The remodeling of the room is remarkable.

Around the children's bed there's a small dresser, table and chairs, and for some reason even a kitchen is complete. Cupboard, washing machine, refrigerator. Wallpaper is pasted on the walls that were rock surface.

It's a house.

"This is, Akie?"

"Since Master said to leave it to me, I boldly bought various things and completed it."

"C-completed?"

"Yes, after all that child came to the base. Environment is important for children's education, right? A house remaining as rock surface is no good, right?"

"A-ah, right. Good work."

Do as you like. I don't even feel like getting angry anymore.

There are too many things I have to do.

"Yes, gather. Ah, leave the 'Dragonewt.' You don't have to bring it held."

"Yes, Master."

I also materialize the two who were cardified.

"It's long."

I involuntarily said it out loud.

"Eh? To who? And Master said to do it?"

"Ah, fine fine. My talk."

I face everyone again.

"Now, let's discuss the next policy. Opinions please."

Akie raises her hand so I nominate her.

"Yes, Master. The electrical appliances lined up now are all decorations."

"Decorations?"

"Yes, they're furniture that can be purchased with 'G,' but they're for liveliness. Because there's no electricity."

"So a generator is needed? Just obtain one."

"It's a paid item. Solar power generation system."

The management is doing ruthless business.

"How much?"

"1000 yen."

"Cheap. It's a pain, I'll buy it now."

I search for the solar power generation system from the item list and buy it. Install it later.

"Next."

"Yes, Master."

"What is it, Nanao."

"We bought a bath for Gill, but hot water doesn't come out."

"Hm? Are you all using it too. So, why doesn't it come out? Broken?"

"No, because there's no water heater."

"If there isn't… don't tell me it's a paid item?"

"Yes, this is also 1000 yen. But hot water can be used in the kitchen too, and if you make it a floor heating set the floor will also be warm."

Stupid Nanao. It's summer now. Do we need floor heating. However since it's a pain I also purchase the water heater.

"Next."

"Yes, Master."

"What is it, Mizurii?"

"This place is too narrow."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"I want to train, but here it's narrow and I can't."

"What? You want to do training or something? Do it outside."

"No, when Master is absent we cannot go outside."

Ah, right. Basically the characters cannot leave the base unless I order.

"Do it around there. Quickly."

"What are you saying, in such a narrow place. Movements are too restricted and it won't become training."

"Lime's 'Gorky of Slime' can't be used because it's narrow."

"Item cards like 'Gigantes' are also impossible."

"Ah? Eh? What?"

I involuntarily asked Akie back.

"No, so 'Gigantes' also can't be brought out."

"Eh? Can it be brought out inside the base?"

"Because it's a card. It's just that using it in battle is only once."

"Then what. If there's a wide place, and by bringing those out and having them fight each other experience points accumulate?"

"No, experience points and Allocate points are unrelated. It means we can gain so-called experience in the field."

"I see, against this kind of enemy fight like this, or if done like this it becomes like this."

"That's correct. I want to protect the Master I devoted loyalty to. However if I don't still extend my own power, when the time comes I won't be able to protect Master."

"No, Mizurii is plenty strong, right, everyone."

"No. No good. Last time too I couldn't protect Master from the 'Draugr.'"

Was she concerned about that. Well, it's a thankful story. However even if said a wide space.
