Alex was standing in front of a mountain of limestone with a satisfied smile.
It turned out that he only need to use Creation Magic, and not Metamorphosis Magic. But it took him a lot of effort to finally turn an ordinary rock into limestones.
He needed to take a natural formed limestone as a reference, but even then, it took him dozens of times before he succeeded on making limestones.
Of course, he won't just make the entire mansion made of limestones, he needed woods as well. Because he was sure that the amount of limestones he has might not be enough.
He don't know how many trees he cut down—he took them from the forest and not the trees inside his space, of course he planted a new one there.
He just piled up those trees besides the limestones. Nodding a few times, he finally decided to start building his mansion.
"Alright! Let's get started!"
————————————
Let's go back in time for a bit, back in Ashiya's point of view after Alex left to modify his room.
Ashiya has his eyes closed, with Alice sitting on her lap while sucking her thumb, staring at the oneechan's in front of her.
Sagiri especially, was staring at Ashiya with a serious expression. She couldn't forget the way Ashiya addressed Alice and Alex.
Nonko was sneakily drinking sake, trying her best to not let Alice see what she was doing.
While Chitose was now back in the kitchen, washing the the plates, with Yuuna helping her.
Yaya was on the roof, sleeping with the Cat God. As a part cat, sleeping and being lazy is in her nature.
Sagiri was about to open her mouth to ask Ashiya but was interrupted by him.
"I'm not gonna answer."
Sagiri blinked, before narrowing her eyes, "What do you mean by that?"
"It means what it means." Ashiya answered, "Whatever you want to ask, I will neither agree nor deny."
Sagiri glared at Ashiya, "....I don't trust you. So know this, I will continue to observe you, and if you make even a slight move that I deem dangerous, I will do my best to eliminate you."
Even though she said that, she doesn't know if she really could bear killing them. After all, if they are gone, Alice will grow up without any family.
Nonko noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stood up and hugged Sagiri from behind, pressing her large breast on her back.
"Wha-?! Nonko-san?!"
"Mah~ Mah~" Nonko took out a cup of sake and presented it to Sagiri, "Don't be serious Sagiri-chan~, here have a drink~"
Sagiri groaned and tried to force Nonko off her, but Nonko was just way stronger than her, "Get off me! I don't drink, I'm underage! And don't drink in front of a child!"
Ashiya looked at Nonko, thinking that despite the lazy and sultry look she was showing, she was rather sharp and intelligent.
Under the table, the green light that was coating Ashiya's hand vanished.
Nonko somehow noticed that as she inwardly sighed in relief before breaking the hug she gave to Sagiri and observed Ashiya with wary eyes, while still having her usual erotic look.
She was about to grab her bottle of sake when she noticed it was missing.
"Eh?"
Ashiya raised an eyebrow before he noticed that his princess was also missing.
"Eh?"
Sagiri noticed their reaction and raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Hn?"
They looked around, and noticed Alice at the corner of the room, holding the bottle of sake and was about to drink it.
"Princess stop!" Ashiya, in panic, forgot about his magic and ran towards Alice.
"Ah!" Nonko followed, she was sure that Alex is going to kill her if he found out that Alice drank her sake.
"Alice!" Sagiri yelled, she blamed Nonko for this. She used her speed that she cultivated after years of training and ran towards Alice.
However, they were too late, the bottle was already touching the lips of Alice.
The three people's eyes widened in horror.
And when Alice tilted the bottle upwards, she stopped. Well, she was stopped by Chitose who just came out of the kitchen.
"Chito-neecha!" Alice smiled.
Chitose merely smiled as she caressed Alice's head before taking the bottle of sake, before glaring at Nonko, Ashiya, and Sagiri with a smile.
"You three....maybe I should give you a curse of misfortune?"
Yuuna just happen to walked out of the kitchen after helping Chitose. She saw Ashiya, Sagiri, and Nonko trembling.
Turning her head, she saw Alice looking at Chitose while sucking her little thumb.
———————————
"Well, that should do it." Alex smiled as he stared at his newly made three-storied mansion.
It was beautiful to say the least. Though he wasn't sure why he decided make all of this, but at least he's got some satisfaction.
And maybe, once he finds Emilia, maybe he could ask her to live here. After all, even though he really doesn't harbor any romantic feelings towards her, Alice still considered her as her mother.
Well, he already found Emilia though. It was last night, when he felt another "Gate" open, and sensed the presence of Emilia along with her two companions.
He'll just let her be for now and let her adjust in this new world.
Anyway, back to his mansion. The stone was white and it texture was like lime; All of it felt so clean. In the entrance, there was a light sphere that was at the tip of a pedestal projecting from the ceiling.
It was a tree stories mansion, with an atrium on top.
He wanted to explore it, but decided to held it back for now. He glanced at the red crystal at the center of the space and flew towards it.
He observed it for awhile before touching it. It was smooth, and hard. Alex could even see his own reflection—of his face, despite the crystal being only a fist-size.
After he was done, he caressed Judecca and took it out of his neck. "Judecca, you know what to do."
{Understood, Master}
The pendant expanded and grew to its regular size as a sword before it started to glow.
{Coding—}
{Compiling—}
{Execute—}
With a bright flash that only lasted an instant, the sword disappeared, and was replaced by an incredibly beautiful and young slendar woman with a large busom, dark skin and long white hair, purple eyes, as well as a short pointed ears.
Her main attire consists of a white short one piece dress that exposes her shoulders, back, and hips, opera gloves and thigh boots with neapolitan cuffs.
The two looked at each other before surrounding the red crystal as they raised their arms forward and interlocked their hands.
"Can you do it Judecca?"
"Probability is 98.99% my master."
Nodding, Alex used three of the Age of Gods magic one by one, using Judecca as a medium. He channeled his magic into her and just leave everything to her.
Like a boss and his secretary.
Judecca closed her eyes and started to do her work.
{Analyzing Three Age of Gods Magic—}
{Coding—}
{Compiling—}
{Activating Age of Gods Magic—}
{Activating Restoration Magic}
{Activating Spirit Magic}
{Activating Evolution Magic}
{Combining—}
{Creating Concept—}
Judecca opened her eyes and looked at her master, waiting for his next words. She already did everything, now all that is left is to make a "Concept" and apply it.
Alex already thought of a concept to use for this trial, he stared at Judecca's bright purple eyes and nodded.
"Apply the concept "Rejuvenation"—."
Judecca and nodded and did as she was told.
{Creating Concept "Rejuvenation"}
{Interfering with the World Laws—}
{Applying Concept—}
The red crystal the two of them were surrounding suddenly released a flash of red light.
