Chapter 16: Progress

[Day 13]

I woke up today by myself in my comfy bed. Apparently, Aimi was working on a blanket yesterday but we fell asleep before we finished so she gave it to one of the maids to cover us. It wasn't until I got hungry that I got out of bed. The long-forgotten feeling of a comfortable sleeping surface tied me down to the bed below me. When I was in Japan I got the opportunity to sleep in a futon but to be honest I liked sleeping in a bed more.

My stomach started to growl loudly so I got out of my bed where my maids already had my dress ready to be changed into. It seems that it was a new dress but this time the color of it was black and kind of frilly with holes for my wings which the other dress didn't have which was extremely uncomfortable. Aika handed me a bra that Aimi had finished last night as well. I wasn't an expert at putting this on, but it was much different from earth since there was nothing to snap it together. I had to tie the ends of them together which also gave me a lot of room to adjust the fit since obviously, I didn't know my cup size.

After putting on my dress I made my way outside where everyone was already doing their job besides the builders who were waiting patiently outside for me to wake up. I also couldn't help but notice that none of my servants were around which Aika immediately read and gave me an answer.

"Miss Kumo and Miss Homura have gone hunting in order to level up. They also wanted to deeply apologize for going without your permission and hoped that you could understand why they did what they did," said Aika.

"It's alright, I was the one who encouraged them anyway so no need for them to feel sorry," I replied.

It seemed like Aika was worried about me getting mad which seeing my response let out a huge sigh.

I casually walked towards the new pile of food but I noticed this time that it was on a wooden stand of some sort. As I got closer Aito ran up to me saying that he had prepared breakfast. I kind of forgot that we now had a cook and I didn't have to eat the raw meat like a savage. Aito on a wooden plate served me grilled Constrictor Koi with some greens on the side that looked like lettuce. I gobbled this up immediately and asked for seconds since I was still hungry. Aito handed me another dish which had Aqua Boa and with something that tasted like a tomato but looked like a peeled lemon right next to it.

After finishing these delicious courses I felt sated and immediately ran back to my cave to check up on the progress of my home. The walls were made into a circular shape with corridors in the walls that are supposed to be hallways. 3 of the builders are helping carry out rocks from the cave in order to build houses or at least shelter for the spirit elves and elves outside. Thankfully it hasn't rain yet otherwise we would have to cram everybody in this cave and I like my personal space. I walked down one of the corridors to find the rest of the builders inspecting something.

"Oh, master! Look at what we found, now we can make proper weapons and not ones out of wood and stone," Akio calls out.

As I walked closer I carefully inspect the rock that they were all staring at.

[Nodril]

[A commonly found ore that resides only in the [Waterfall Hills]. Its color can change depending on the amount of heat and humidity it is in.]

"It's Nodril, I'm guessing we can use it for weapons," I say while tapping the ore with the back of my hand.

Akio uses [Earth Control] and manipulates the wall surrounding it, pushing it out onto the hallway floor. When it landed it made a giant thud, scattering dust all over the place. I recommend myself to carry it which Akio disagrees but after saying that I was bored he let out a laugh and finally agreed. As I picked it up I couldn't help but notice it felt heavy, it's not like I couldn't pick it up but it just felt like picking up a car tire. This surprised me since I had all of this strength stat but the ore was still heavy, I let out a smirk and carried it to the weaponsmiths. As I was exiting the cave Aika saw me carrying this hunk of ore and started blurting out how I shouldn't do this and let my subordinates do it.

"It's fine, I got nothing to do since I don't want to go hunting with my bad sense of direction. If it weren't for Kumo leaving a trail of string, I would've never come back here," I said while giggling.

"As you wish master, but next time, try and rely on us more," Aika responded.

"Sure!" I said with a smile.

When I got out of the cave I think I heard Aika cursing out Aiko for making me do this. I let out a sigh and walked towards where Aiso and his assistant were making weapons. It seems like I wasn't interrupting anything important so I called out to Aiso and showed him the Nodril.

"Ooooo this looks fun, we can finally have proper weapons now," Said Aiso with glittering eyes.

I set the ore down on what looked like a furnace of some sort. It seemed he prepared in advance for this as if knowing we would bring him some type of ore. He immediately called over his assistant which was watching the ore from afar with glittery eyes. They lit the fire in the furnace and immediately started working on this new project. I decided to not interrupt and leave them be.

I then walked back over to my cave and instruct the elves that were carrying rubble from inside to outside the cave to start building something in the shape of a house. I called over Akio who had a pair of eyes glaring at him which he tried to ignore but felt the pressure and started sweating.

I draw an outline of the houses and the materials needed on a neat blueprint drawn in the dirt. Akio ordered some of the spirit elves working in the cave to cut down some timber which they would need to build the frame of the house. What I designed was just your regular day fantasy house that looked similar to a cottage.

When it was lunch it pretty late in the day so I just decided to make it big so I wouldn't have to eat dinner later. It was the same dishes from before but also came with a salad that Aito recommended and said that it was tasty and healthy. It was a mix of the lettuce looking plant with what looked like small white beans. While eating I couldn't help but think about my servants, and their well-being.

They should be fine since both of them are incredibly strong individuals and if they learn to work together, they would be able to injure me, not kill me but probably inujure me.

I rid the thought of bad things happening to them and distracted myself by checking my status.

Yep, both of them are still on my servant count so they should be fine. Also, I forgot about the body modification I gained [Body Modification: Metal Bones]. After finishing my meal and checking my status the sun started to set. I assumed my servants were going to come back early in the morning or late at night so I just went back inside my home.

My maids helped me change into my nightgown and removed my bra and underwear for me. I didn't feel embarrassed since... actually I don't know why, it's just not awkward.

"Master, your body is so beautiful and your skin is so perfect. Your wings feel like touching clouds and your hair is so silky smooth and pretty," said Aika.

"Really... thanks for the compliment I guess," I reply.

After lying down on my soft bed I suddenly come to the realization nobody has taken a bath or shower. It seems everybody is used to it but it's still not Hygenic so tomorrow or the day after we should try and take a bath... and make a nice toilet. I want to hunt with my servants tomorrow so the bath idea should come after that, then plumbing. I got used to it but the more I think about it, the same as the bath the more I wanted it.

Before getting comfy I use [Body Modification: Metal Bones] which sends intense pain throughout the inside of my body. It was like when you had an itch in your throat but this time it was my entire body and just pain. I muffled my screams with my hand but eventually, the pain became so unbearable and with my sleepy body I passed out
