‘Wait a minute. Swords, huh …… Master. How about teaching the dolls how to fight?”
“What? How to fight!? They’re children, you know?”
“But they can use our skills, right? Even if they can’t kill a Shadow Wolf, they can at least kill the cave scorpions, can’t they?”
Seeing the dagger made by Nia, the fourth pair of dolls, Monica said she would take the dolls to the underground cave.
“No, no matter how many skills they can use, they are still children. I’m not too keen on the idea.”
“But, Master. Since there are only two people searching the cave, Ellie and I, we have not been able to go deeper into the cave, just in case we have to. If we formed a party, we would be able to explore deeper into the cave.”
“That may be true, but it is also a precaution.”
“Then, let’s see what the dolls can do in combat.”
“…… I got it.”
For the time being, Me, Monica, Ellie and Meilin stayed behind, while the others move off to do their own work.
The dolls are Arefo, who got Nia and the dagger, and their child. Eru, Ellie’s doll, remained, and the other dolls went about their business.
“For now, [Devotion] …… now, no one will get hurt easily.”
Monica and Arefo were going to fight first, so I protected them with my higher paladin skills.
“Now, come one. Big sister will show you the ropes from top to bottom.”
Monica provoked him by showing her wide-open bosom …… Ah, he’s attacking her with all his might.
Well, Arefo has Nia, after all.
And their child, Phonia, a little girl of about 3 years old, is also there.
“Get her, Papa!”
And since she’s cheering for Arefo, he can’t afford to be distracted by Monica’s breasts.
“[Holy Cross]”
“What!? Hey …… that’s dangerous!”
Arefo released his paladin skill …… but even though he could use his skill, he was blocked by Monica’s sword, perhaps because he lacked muscle power and agility.
From there, Monica regrouped and finally shifted to fighting to instruct.
Meanwhile, next to her, Ellie is watching Eru’s magic.
“[Firestorm]”
Like Arefo, Eru can use Ellie’s skill, but it seems less powerful.
But then Ellie hands her own wand to Eru…
“[Firestorm]”
Compared to the previous one, although it was not as powerful as Ellie’s skill, a fairly large whirlpool of flames was created.
“I see. Alex, as for my puppet, with a wand as a medium of magic power, she should be able to take down a cave scorpion or so.”
“A wand, huh. Should I have Tabitha send some here?”
“Let’s see. We’ll go with that or, if Shelly or Lydia can grow a tree for me to make the staff, I can make it here.”
“Lydia looks a little sad when we cut down the tree. I’ll ask Shelly next time.”
She knows we need wood to build the house, so she never says it out loud, but Lydia has a complicated look on her face when we cut the tree.
If it’s a broken branch prepared in advance or something, Lydia doesn’t seem to mind, but I’d prefer not to have her grow one for the sake of cutting.
“Phew, that’s about it. Master …… he’s not powerful enough to take me down, but if it’s just a cave scorpion, I think it should be fine.”
Before I knew it, the battle on Monica’s side was over.
But as expected of a doll, I guess.
They should have been moving very hard, yet they’re not short of breath.
…… After the one I saw at the cabin, they stopped doing it for a while, but I wonder if that is different from this or something else.
Or maybe they were moving so intense that they couldn’t move …… well, I don’t really care either way.
“Meilin. Can I have some of your dolls trained in combat?”
“If that’s what my Husband wants, then of course I’m fine with it.”
“Oh, I see.”
Since Meilin agreed, so we had a new task, which is combat training.
We finished the day by building houses for the dolls, cultivating the fields, and training the dolls in combat.
Afterwards, in the bath…
“Husband. Please hold me too ……”
"
"
“Big brother. Hug me!”
Just as Meilin was about to hug me, Nora came running and jumped on me.
For now, let’s not run in the bathtub because it’s dangerous.
It looks like Nora is wary of Meilin, though …… I’m sorry somehow.
I’m holding Nora in my arms, and Meilin and the others are watching me …… but I think it’s still too early for Nora or Nina.
It’s not that I don’t like them, but it’s because that I care for them …… I wonder if they would understand.
