354 - - 352nd opening.

I asked Deene to wash the gravity stones, and then asked Nomos to adjust the gravity stones and place them in paradise. I was able to surprise Gina and the others, and I had a good idea. The gravity stone is doing a good job.

After visiting the island above the clouds, we returned to the ground. Gina and the others were also excited to see the big island above the clouds, but since there was nothing to see but the view, they settled down quite early.

You know, an island in the sky is romantic, but it can't be just an island. I guess an island in the sky shines when it is combined with fascinating facilities. Well, I still haven't decided how to use only one of the three islands, but I want a facility worthy of a flying island.

"Yuta, I set up the island to some extent as you said, but the details are your decision. I'll make adjustments, so decide quickly. And what about the gravity stones to be installed in the rose garden?"

Come to think of it, you asked us to install gravity stones in the Rose Garden as well.

"Well, Gina and her group built the Rose Garden, so I'll leave it to them. Nomos, help them. I'll fine-tune this one in the meantime."

"Mm."

"Gina and the others, as I was saying, you will work with Nomos to install gravity stones in the rose garden. I'm picturing a tea party with an elegant aerial view of the rose garden in full bloom, but if Gina and the others want to do something else, that's fine too. You can help them out too, Mel."

Gina and the others are surprised by the suddenness of the event and get involved in planning the Rose Garden Tea Party.

The Rose Garden reminds me of a shoujo manga (girls' manga). It should be fun, since it is usually associated with a tea party.

The tea party by the spirit tree and the tea party in the rose garden ...... are covered by the tea party, but it's okay because the situations are different. I'm sorry Gina and her friends were supposed to be on a holiday.

"A tea party with a view of the Rose Garden from a flying island. It sounds so fancy, but do you think we can do it?"

Gina looks a little nervous. Gina has never been involved in fashion because of her father's influence, so she is not very good at fashionable things.

"The gravity stone can be moved as many times as you want, so it doesn't matter how many times you make a mistake. Besides, the Rose Garden is a beautiful place. We were able to make it, so it's okay if we all talk and think about it."

"...... that too. Then I'll give it a try."

Perhaps relieved by the fact that it was okay to fail again and again, he took on the project while smiling at Sarah and the others. I can't wait to see the evolution of the rose garden. We see Gina and Fukuchan and the others running to the Rose Garden with high spirits.

Hmm?　Gina and her team are in charge of the tea venue in the Rose Garden. And I'll be fine-tuning the tea venue by the Spirit Tree. ......　I have to do my best for the dignity of a master. ......It's hard to say I'll do it after all these years, and I have to do my best.

In fact, it is unlikely that Gina and her friends, who are very nice girls, will judge me on how good or bad I am. But, though it's a silly obsession, I'd like to be told that I'm a great master anyway.

...... No. Is this a chance to ruin Mel's opinion of me?　But it would be hard to lose not only Mel's reputation but also that of Gina and the others if I cut corners.

I'll do my best to ruin Mel's reputation by myself. ...... First, we need to summon Dolly. She's related to the spirit tree, so she'll be a great ally.

Yuta, is something wrong?　

"Yeah, I'm sorry for coming out of nowhere. Actually ......"

Talk to Dolly about the Gravity Stone tea room. Don't tell her I have a rivalry with Gina and the others in my heart.

"I see, a tea party at a place where we can feel close to the spirit tree. Hmmm, that would please the spirit tree too.

The spirit tree will be pleased. I remember you said it had a will even though it was young. He said he'd make a guardian and come visit us eventually, so I'm happy if he's happy.

"So, I want you to think with me about how to set up the gravity stone so that the spirit tree will be happy, it will look cool, and it will be a place where we can have an elegant tea party. Of course, Sylphy will join us."

"What?　Do you want me to think about it too?"

"I'm thinking."

While I'm talking to Dolly, Sylphie gets involved, poking at Belle's pouty cheeks in a "I don't give a shit" kind of way.

"Belle think about it... cue cue!" I'll do my best.""Koo koo.""I'm gonna make you look so cool!"" ............"

Well, it seems that Bell and the others are thinking about it with us. Normally I would be overjoyed to have them think with me, but this time my pride as a master is at stake.

There is a possibility that the belles' innocent talents will create a wonderful spot for a tea party, but I can't deny the possibility that it will be a modern-art tea hall that I don't understand and that is peculiarly crazy to children.

Hmm?　If we say that Bell and his friends thought of everything ......, I'll stop because that would be shameful to me as a human being before a master.

"I want you to help me. I'll give you the instructions from here and I want you to move the gravity stone as I told you, can you do that?"

I can do it, cue, I can do it, cue, I can do it, cue, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it. ......"

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Feeling a little guilty, I thanked Bell and the others as much as I could and pet them as much as I could. The belles cackle with joy and say they'll do their best. ...... Sorry about that.

Then, please check the gravity stone for Belle and the others.

The belles flew to check the gravity stone with a "Okay!

"Yuta ......"

Sylphy looks at me with a subtle expression, as if she understands what I am thinking. Haha, I can now understand Sylphy's feelings perfectly, even though her expression has hardly changed on the surface. But I didn't want to understand now.

"Well, how shall I place the gravity stone?"

And I think I've gotten used to going through Sylphy's eyes lately. It's sad to see the growth in less favorable directions.

Oh, I'll let Sylphy and Dolly come up with some ideas, I'll have to change the height of the gravity stone adjusted by Nomos. I'll plan accordingly.

***

"Tulu, move the gravity stone at Tamamo a little more to the right."

Move it. - Coo!

"Belle, let's get Rain's gravity stone a little closer to the scaffold. ...... Oh, I got it a little too close."

Cue the return.

"Flare, no!　Move the gravity stone that Moon is pushing right now!"

Oh, man! ............"

"Whew, it's pretty hard to give detailed instructions."

It's even harder when you're working on a piece of wood to realize your idea.

"Yuta. Wouldn't it have been easier if you had just thought it up with Bell and the others?"

"Maybe it was."

The belles are very eager to help me when I ask them to. However, they are a little out of control, so it's sometimes harder than I expected.

Well, the fact that Belle and her friends are so cute as they work hard in pairs to move the gravity stone should be a plus or minus, slightly.

"Oh, Dolly, can you put this wood together for me?

"Okay."

I was going to do a quick and easy installation, but the thought of not losing makes me do a lot of work.

"Tulu, I need this wood plated. Can you do it with adamantite?"

"...... can do it."

I'm starting to wonder if this is all right, since we're going in a different direction than I first thought the tea room would be.

"Okay, let's move the gravity stone of the islet together and we'll be done. We'll put them between the gravity stones, so make sure they're evenly spaced!"

"tokankaku-" "cue" "shinchou ni" "koo-koo" "rakusho da!" ......"

Bell and his team carefully push the gravity stone of the islet between the scaffolds. I check my position while Sylphy keeps me afloat.

"Okay, stop right there!　It's done!"

"kansei", "cue", "it worked", "coo", "moeruze!" ............"

The belles, delighted at the completion, gather around to praise, pet, and give another round of compliments. We need to get Nomos to fix the gravity stone, but now is the best time for everyone to rejoice, so we'll be flexible and call it finished now.

"Okay, now that this one is finished, let's go check on Gina and the others.

We only need to set up a small island tea place in the Rose Garden and a gravity stone for the scaffold to cross over to it, so it should be in some shape even if we are struggling with the idea. I ask Sylphy to help me, and head to the Rose Garden with Belle and Dolly.

"Sarah, how does it look?"

We arrive at the Rose Garden and talk to Sarah who is curiously touching the gravity stone with Fuchu and Puru. Seeing Sara like this makes me smile.

"Ah, Master. We've decided on the approximate position, and Mr. Nomos is fixing it in place. It will be finished soon.

I see, I'm done too, except for fixing the nomos. May I ask what you were thinking when you made this arrangement?

At a quick glance, it looks like a simple arrangement of gravity stones, without any eccentricity.

"Gina-san, Mel-san, and Dine-san are the main members of the group, so I think it would be better to have the three of them give explanations. Shall I go get the others?"

...... Deene?　Come to think of it, there was no Dine, who usually appears out of nowhere when we are doing something interesting. She was helping Gina and the others. Deene is a natural, but she is also interested in love affairs and may be a formidable opponent. An unexpected foe has appeared.

"...... I guess so. I'm sorry, but can you go get him for me?"

"Yes, I'll be right there."

Sarah runs to get everyone. I'm a little afraid to listen to her explanation. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the gravity stones on the islets have been modified. Somehow ...... no, but they are definitely getting bigger.

I have arranged the gravity stones so that I can enjoy them, but it seems that Gina and her friends have modified the gravity stones themselves. I had an image of gravity stone as a precision machine, so I never thought of modifying the gravity stone itself.

But in reality, it is not a precision machine but a fantasy ore that can be adjusted by nomos. I guess my preconceived notions have hardened my brain. Maybe I'm going to lose?

......No, I'm also doing some modifications with the help of Dolly, even though it's external, so it's not a given that I'm going to lose yet. ......

I was scared that I might be in a lot of trouble when Sarah came back with Gina and the others.

"Yuta! You did your best, sis!"

"Yeah, I heard you helped everyone. Thank you."　

You're welcome. It's going to be a lot of fun, you can count on it.

"Master, I've got a great idea. Everyone was so surprised!

Deanne reports confidently and Marco proudly.

"Do you think it was Marco's idea to have the gravity stone modified?"

"Yes!"

"Hmmm, well, I'm looking forward to seeing what Marco comes up with. Surprise me."

I'm just trying to be cool. I'm determined not to lose to my disciples, and I'm scared to death inwardly. ......
