(POV Alexander)
"Eureka !! F-Finally... I was finally able to create a potion!!
Well ... it's only in the [J] rank though, so maybe I shouldn't be so happy ... no, it's ok, this is a great achievement after all. Now I am one step closer from meeting with the little Huldra-chan! "
It had been a few days since we returned from HOTD to Gaia again, but things on this side had not changed much… well, with only a few days away this time, I think it was normal.
The good thing was that now I am a debt-free man thanks to the fact that I obtained a little more than 2 and a half million crystals that people had collected in the camp there, and I was able to pay the Lord of Barl for thethe0 thousand tons of food.
Although the death line to pay him had not come yet, it was better to pay off that debt now that I could. I didn't want to end up as a slave after all... or worse, the girls becoming ones. Well, there was also the option to escape, but by doing this I would have to start again in another Kingdom and the truth is that I didn't dislike this one.
So after that, with nothing else to do but to just watch how the mansion was getting build, I decided to focus on alchemy, reaching my current achievement… the issue about protecting the workers, the women I had rescued from bandits were now more than capable of doing this without much risk.
Furthermore, if for any reason any abnormalities such as a troubling monster came here, there were my faithful servants Scythe, Leona, and Vrana-chan to help them.
Even the other girls were able to have more free time compared to the first days when we left for the capital. When this happened, each one found their own way of spending time.
Saeko, for example, she was spending her free time practicing the sword technique that I had given to her. She uses to spend several hours in the forest using the monsters for practice, and when she returns, then she'll focus on cleaning the sword that I had given her during the ceremony of my skill [Blessing of Origin].
Rei and Rika also did similar things. The former seemed to have taken up again the first weapon which I saw her with the first time we ran into each other in HOTD, a spear. Well, at that time it was just a stick with a pointed tip... so when she told me that she wanted to practice fighting like that, I ended up giving her an H-rank spear that I probably got from the thieves' booties and that's why it was in my inventory.
What I did have to spend a little on, was on finding a suitable spear technique in the system shop, since what she knew was rather basic movements. So after searching in the system for a technique for her, with the suggestions that she gave me, in the end, I choose one with the name [Hozoin-Ryu].
Now in the afternoons, I could see her practicing with the spear. Apparently, she was concentrating on first mastering all movements and improving her spear handling, she probably still didn't have the confidence to fight monsters with just the spear.
Whoever, she choosing to fight like this was already a very good thing, I don't think I should rush her in her training. Therefore, it's better if she goes at her own pace and does it without putting herself at risk if she doesn't feel ready yet.
She was a girl quite sensible for those kinds of things, so I don't think I have to worry about her doing something crazy and getting in trouble...
Besides, her training place was near where the mansion is being built, thanks to that, I could also entertain myself by watching her… to be honest, she wasn't at Shisuka's level. The body of that alchemist was so voluptuous and smooth than with each of her movements whenever she exercised, caused her body wave greatly... ... I even come to think that she should be exempt from the laws of physics, as sometimes it seemed a bit too exaggerated even for me how that pair of breasts moved…
Still, it's not that Rei had a flat body… maybe it's just that her muscles are firmer and that's why when she trains, the display wasn't so remarkable. Of course, when I start to observe it, there is no lack of complaints and claims about it... although it is not like she chases me away either.
In fact, I even think she usually waited for me to finish off doing alchemy to start practicing..... the time when I take a break is during midday, which is when it is hottest and the sun is showing its splendor and so I don't think this is the best time to do physical activities.
…Even her skin has tanned a bit thanks to this. I may need to change the moment I take a break from doing activities if not maybe one of these days she will end up with sunstroke. Well... thanks to this, her body sweats a lot and the clothing clung to her body and highlighted her figure... this is a difficult decision. I know that I should worry more about her health, but I also do not want to lose that...
As for Rika, having a little more free time now mainly concentrates on watching the progress of the rescued girls' training. It seems that she is a very responsible leader.
By the way, these two girls are the only ones with whom I have not been able to perform the ritual of my skill [Blessing of Origin]. It can be said that both of them meet the conditions for it, but the problem is that Rei swearing to love me for the rest of her life is probably something too advanced for her to do... although in order to achieve that, perhaps it will be only necessary a little time to deepen further our relationship.
In fact, I'm more concerned with the other girl. When I told Rika about it, she replied that we have to wait to do something like this and furthermore that we already have a promise to formalize our relationship in a few years.
...we can't wait that long for that, so I'll have to insist on that with her and push her a little more.
The 3 most intellectual girls in our group, Kurisu, Saya, and Shisuka, I still have my doubts about including the latter in this group... Well, the fact is that each one of them spends their time on things that I had asked. The first one should now be following up with the remodeling of some military vehicles that I brought from HOTD this time.
Since our group had grown quite a bit on this side, I believed that these would be necessary and it was also much better than having to buy them here. So I brought two troop transport vehicles [Hunter TR-12] and 8 Jeeps, I think those will suffice for now.
At first, I thought about bringing the ones that had already been modified to work with crystals, but Kurisu told me that she could do that job here and therefore I only brought what was necessary for her to do so. Besides, we also brought an energy shield tower structure to place it here.
Now the girls we rescue… it's kind of bland to have to refer to them this way every time I talk about them, I should tell them to decide on a name for their group and maybe even form an official group in the guild.
Well, the thing is that now they should be placing the towers together with some workers from the construction organization while Saya supervises them.
Saya's work has remained the same since before that we went to the capital. She has been in charge of monitoring that everything is being done correctly concerning to our new home.
With these three girls, I had already performed the ritual so that they would receive the [Consecration of Origin ] skill. The item that I gave Kurisu was an [Inter-Dimensional Ring-G] that I had obtained with a ticket from when I completed her conquest mission.
She was quite happy when she got it, plus, she was even happier after we did the ceremony and I put the ring on her ring finger from the left hand… of course I knew the meaning of this for people, but to be honest this wasn't my choice.
While carrying out the ceremony, that was the hand she gave me while she had also made her ring finger stick out from the rest, and so making it clear that she wanted me to put the ring there. Well… it's not like I have a problem with that either, after all, I had already decided to make her my woman from the moment I summoned her.
The item I gave Saya as a gift was a pair of [Smart Earrings-G]. I think she was a little envious of the glasses that I had given to Kurisu earlier, and so I looked for a similar object.
Since the glasses that I gave Kurisu were very simple, they were not very suitable to fulfill our promise to be together for life after all.
So after searching for a while, I chose those earrings.
The truth is that the name seemed me somewhat exaggerated for some earrings and I was about to ignore them... is because I did not understand how something like that could be called smart, did they change shape and fit to the ear when you put them on?
But since they had a [G] rank, I thought that they should not be that simple and so in their description, I discovered that they had the skills [Translation (Visual and Auditory)], [Evaluation ] and [Artificial Intelligence (Basic)].
When I gave them to her and she put them on, she was quite happy too. When I asked how they worked, it seems that these had something similar to my system and showed a holographical screen to the user... in the end, rather than smart earrings itself, were instead more like a computer with holographic function...
Well, since she liked them, then I should be happy about it. But... now it was Kurisu's turn to have some envy for these earrings... really is a bit difficult to please several girls at once.
For Shisuka who had spent her time continuing learning alchemy from Lena, I chose an item that I thought would be useful for this. A [Dimensional Necklace] similar to Kurisu's ring, that way she could keep the ingredients, cauldron, or any item she needed for alchemy always with her.
…That I chose a necklace instead of a ring was because I wanted the gift to be something different. Seriously, the fact that now I had an excuse to put my eyes on her breasts without anyone complaining was just an added benefit...
As for my three servants, Scythe and Leona, as they both already had the weapons that I had given them previously, I only performed the ritual with them using these.
But I must say that Vrana-chan was probably the one that received the most expensive item that I have bought in the system so far...
Since she did not use weapons to fight, and in fact she had no interest in the same kind of objects as the ones I gave to the other girls, the decision to choose her gift was even more difficult.
Finally, what I thought she would like and it would be quite useful to her, it was a [Transmutation Bracelet-F] that now she wears in her right ankle. The effect of this was simple but quite surprising, it could modify the body parts of a person and now her wings and feet could be modified to be similar to a normal person.
The only funny thing about it was that these body parts when transformed gave the appearance of being covered by long gloves and long black stockings with feather patterns on them… maybe it was because even though it had a high rank, it still wasn't enough to fully match the appearance of a normal limb. Or it could also be because is related to the fact that it is her wings that change.
Either way, she was quite happy to be able to use a pair of hands now. Besides, there was a further gain, in this way she would not call too much attention at being in front of a crowd and we can avoid some unnecessary troubles.
...another benefit was that now we did not have to worry about bedtime. Until now, we had to cover her feet with pillows to avoid hurting someone with her claws while she sleeps and in case she moves in the meantime.
We could certainly make her sleep in a different place than ours, but I think it was a very cruel thing to exclude her. And it wasn't just me who thought like that, the girls did too and that's why we ended up doing that. Even so, the claws of her feet were indeed quite sharp, and even taking precautions she had managed to ruin several sheets...
But I think she still prefers or feels more comfortable having her wings since she only activates the bracelet when she has to eat or sleep… well, I also think that she looks prettier with wings since these were part of her personality.
"So you could finally make a potion, boy. That's good, but I think Shisuka is still ahead of you on this… "
"Oh, it's good that you came!"
"I'm not going to taste the potion… I heard from Saeko that a man was poisoned after he consumed one of the potions you made. If I need one, I think I'd better ask Shisuka for it. "
"… I still hadn't perfected my alchemy at the time, you know? This potion is safe… although I agree that it is better for you and the other girls to use the ones that Shisuka makes, or also the ones that I get from my system… the ones that I make, I can give them to Lena, she can sell them in her store.
But that's not what I wanted to discuss with you, after thinking about it for a while, I believe the best thing is for you and me to perform the same ritual as with the other girls"
"E-eh? T-That... I told you to wait... why you have such a hurry? We already have a promise after all, don't we?
... I-If we do something similar to what you did with the other girls, t-then it would be like as if I marry with 12-year-old boy... maybe they can because of the age difference from the other girls with you is not so high, so they can accept that but I am… no, there is also a girl who is almost the same age as me… "
"That ritual is not only to make a promise between us, as I have said before, this also has several benefits ... fine Rika, I will not pressure you now, but I hope you can think about it so that we do that after I come from my trip to the next world to which I will go.
We definitely can't wait too long to do this ritual. "
Since I had been thinking about the rituals with the girls and then Rika approaches the place where I was practicing alchemy after she heard me scream for my success, I decide to talk about this topic again with her.
Her response remains the same, but after she finishes muttering things to herself, I urge her to reconsider her decision.
"Eh? Are you going to another world? "
"Oh, right. This is one of the things I had to discuss with all of you... I think it would be better to gather all the girls to do it.
Don't worry, I'll explain things to you once the others get together. So, please now help me to tell the other girls that I want to talk to them "
"…okay"
Several days had passed since we returned from HOTD, and now I was able to use my grimoire again, and now that I have succeeded in making a potion, I think it is a good time to go to the next world, so I must tell this to the girls.
I had begun to think for a while about what would be the next world I would go to, and a few days ago I finally came to a decision together with Aurora. So apart from performing alchemy, I was also making preparations for this.
Although it seemed that Rika wanted to know more about this topic, in the end, she nods at my words and goes in the direction of where some of the girls should be. I also keep all the instruments for performing alchemy in my inventory and then proceed to go in another direction to do the same as her.

Hello!!
I just wanted to make an announcement. If I close a month (2nd day of the month) with 75 p-a-t-r-e-o-n-s supporting the novel, then I promise to get 5 chapters a week during that month, Monday through Friday (from the region where I live).
So be sure to invite and recommend the novel to all your friends !!
https://www.patreon.com/Drack21
Is seems that WN is baned the word (p-a-t-r-e-o-n), so "*******" is (p-a-t-r-e-o-n) without "-"
I also wanted to ask to see if there was someone who wanted to support me to edit the previous chapters, I think that way there will be more people who are a little more demanding with grammar interested in the novel.
If you are interested in supporting me on that, you can leave me a message in the comments or on Facebook.
Thanks for the support!!
