Chapter 103: Chapter 34: A Village Reborn.

Lancelot was currently using his resources to modify and improve the village of Sumika, sometimes using his own body to remove debris with his shirt and armour off—he was showing his muscles to impress the fox girls as they seemed to like attractive men.

Instead of the wooden walls, he replaced them all with stone but kept the slight Eastern touch of the outer wall and built a second inner wall that protected the important village objects.

'Let's have Sumika send her summoning platform to my base and replace it with a new one here... I think a visit to the black market is in order when we return.'

In the background, Sumika and many of her kitsune kunoichi were watching as Lancelot was fixing the village all on his own. He insisted on keeping the village in a style they could call home. Thus, three kitsune were standing around him with clipboards.

They were the more intelligent girls with less fighting prowess than Izuna, Nami and Yomi.

Izuna was a pure orange-furred kitsune with cute green eyes, fluffy ginger hair, and a tail with a white tip, and they enjoyed blacksmithing.

Nami was a more sensual fox with larger breasts than all the others and a plump figure. She was a kitsune that enjoyed cooking and making the meals for the girls with golden blonde fur and silver eyes—she stuck close to Lancelot as if her hands were measuring his muscles and other things.

A whisper sounded in his ear, "Let's enjoy each other's company tonight for a nice drink~ Fufu, I'll show you the wonders of a kistune kunoichi."

Nami's blonde tails swayed as she rubbed Lancelot's buttocks with a wink before the last fox kicked her away into the dirt.

"Don't seduce our new master with your slutty body—go find a man your age!" Yomi, with black fur, pulled out her small tongue.

Yomi was shorter than the other girls, but she was cute with very pretty features and a small face that could beat any of the girls Lancelot knew.

'Although she's flat-chested, the girl has a strange sex appeal..'

Her long black hair cut with a box fringe and hime bangs reminded him of a certain eastern princess known for her blade skills...

Another who was unlike Sumika but came from a long line of Samurai...

'But she's a third year and will probably be hard to bring to my side...' Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lancelot smiled at the girls, asking where they would prefer their buildings to be and what kind they liked from his Lord panel.

It was surprising, but they didn't mind the black citadel look.

Instead, they seemed happy when he said the eastern look was beautiful and made him feel at ease, noticing their little tails swaying with delight.

'It seems they are proud of this little village, so let's not abandon it as planned... Let's make it my foothold into the human realm.'

He originally thought it might be best to find a deeper territory to make his base in the human kingdom; a big candidate was his former cliffside territory from his last life.

However, seeing their faces, he decided to change his thinking.

'If I am too caught up in the past, I will miss what the future and this new path offer me. Let's try to save the people who died horrible deaths, but for land and equipment...'

'I will keep an open mind.'

"Hey, Sumi~ is he your husband?" A brunette fox asked, her brown eyes watching Lancelot with a hungry gaze.

"Mmm~ he's my master but treats me like a wife!" Sumika said proudly before tapping the noise of the brunette. "Don't lust for him or force him. If he wants you, you will be in his bed and crying in pleasure before you know it."

"Eh!? Is he that good?" Another fox leaned her soft chin on Sumika's shoulder as they watched their dingy wooden wall suddenly grow to a five-metre tall wall made of beautiful red and white stones, keeping the eastern look of their village...

"Ah!? Look at the gate and towers!" A fox cried with a soft voice.

On the village's front gate was a beautiful stone statue on either side of two kitsune maidens who seemed to be wearing a shrine maiden outfit and carried a long naginata like an eastern glaive used mainly by females.

Then, on the towers of each side of the wall was a lovely image of several foxes along the stone walls.

"Eh... isn't that Mistress!? Ah! That is Yomi!"

"Where?! Oh! It's me!!"

Lancelot had taken all the kitsune warriors here and made them into sculptures using one of the most resilient and hard stones he could choose so they would never weather or be damaged by anyone below the highest grade.

He even paid extra coins for an automatic wall repair function but would take the stone.

"Sumika... Your master is kind. In our world, when a new lord takes over, they normally destroy everything, and some even kill the maids and servants that followed the previous lord too." A white-haired fox with red eyes whispered, her eyes never leaving the sight of Lancelot.

"I will stay here and help him keep this village safe." She continued.

Sumika turned around and looked surprised before biting her lips and nodding, "If Konoha says so... but what if I need you to fight?"

"Silly Master, I can be summoned anywhere you are instantly. I want to ensure the man you love is worthy of your affection. Please allow me to stay, Sumika."

Her eyes turned back to Lancelot, carrying Yomi and Nami using his biceps as they chirped happily at their images on the walls and buildings.

"Mmm..." Sumika sounded a little worried.

'If I leave you here, he will have you in his bed in a week...'

***

Lancelot spent around four hours completely remodelling and upgrading the village as a huge group of people finally emerged from the mountain.

A group of one hundred Frost Hares, fifty succubi, ten angels and Marimo, who was leading them and looked extremely beautiful in her new armour.

"Marimo..."

He could only say her name as her beautiful black hair was tied in a side-sweep braid while the rest was messy and wild but suited her gentle and calm face too much—he felt his heart throbbing as she approached him.

However, the graceful figure was ruined by her dragging a woman tied in thick ropes and half naked being dragged through the mud with her mouth gagged with her own black scaled tail...

'Marimo, you are quite cruel to other women...' Lancelot thought but still found it slightly sexy.

He walked forward and quickly caught up to her, embracing her tightly before lifting her into his arms and spinning her in a circle a few times before holding her so that her body was leaning back and they were face to face.

"My beautiful Marimo," Lancelot said while looking directly at Marimo, making the beauty in his arms bashful. At the same time, the people behind them, staring in shock, turned their gazes away in embarrassment.

"M-master... the people are watching."

Lancelot leaned close to her soft rabbit ears, kissing her once before speaking, "Who cares? You will be mine in the end." The fluffy ears on her head flopped from his words as she slammed the rope carrying the dragon several times in her delight.

"Why did you bring her here anyway?" He asked, stroking her smooth back and teasing the small black tail hidden behind her armour, "It's strange to see you wearing clothes, though—I kind of like the naked Marimo. Haha."

His words caused the poor Hare to turn bright red; the many times they met and how often he saw her naked drove her crazy, "I thought there would be other men... so.... only for you."

'This girl is too cute!' He shouted in his heart.

"Why did you tie this dragon up? If she was annoying, you should have killed her and thrown the corpse in the lava. Hahaha." He joked, knowing the Hare would never do that, and his prediction was proven right.

"T-this person is... Well, Lady Morgana said she would be most calm beside you and that you might be focused here and with Guinevere for the coming month.. so I thought, why not strike while the iron is hot?" She asked innocently, which made Lancelot's heart shake.

'Why am I always surrounded by good-looking girls who have bad thoughts and are too adorable?' He thought, yet could not help himself.

He brought the Marimo inside, not sparing any glances toward the dragon even as the golden eyes stared straight into his back and her tail lashed wildly.

"If you keep moving like that, you will bite your tongue and die!" Marimo suddenly said while kicking the dragon in her head, sending the dragon onto her back, and the breath from the tip of her fangs ceased as the golden eyes closed.

"Did you kill her?" Lancelot asked in surprise as they stepped inside the house.

"Ah?! Master, what should we do? Did I kill the idiot Lizard!?"

The next moment, her eyes snapped open, sharply looking at Marimo. "Oh! She's not dead, false alarm master!"

Like this, the two spent most of the time bickering, with Marimo having absolute victory as the other troops all began to get to know each other and populated the formerly quiet town, now bustling with life as the various races intermingled.

Sumika, who saw her village looking so full and vibrant, felt a sense of happiness in her chest, finally realising that accepting his help, meant she wouldn't lose this place, and the sentiment seemed shared with all her kitsune troops.
