After Shelly went back to the shrine, I went to the forest with Golem to ask Nora to build a house for the dolls.
I asked Nina to make a large axe for Golem, and thanks to the axe, Golem could cut down the tree and carry it to the east area by himself.
And although his movements were not that fast, he could carry several trees at once, so it seemed faster to leave the work to Golem.
“Meilin, I’ll leave Golem to you. And be careful not to cut too many trees.”
“Yes, I understand. But what are you going to do, Husband? Are you not going to stay with me?”
“I’m going to extend the wall in the east area. No attacks are effective against the monsters outside the walls except the holy attribute, so I have forbidden them to expand without me.”
However, Nina’s dolls are making a lot of iron swords and handing them to my dolls in turn, and Monica is training them in combat, so I think they will be able to beat the Shadow Wolves soon.
When I arrive in the east area, I worked with Lydia and the dolls to expand the house and field for five more sets of houses and fields, and we expand it to a much larger area.
However, it took a long time to expand the area, and the Shadow Wolves came along the way, and when I quickly defeated them…
“L-Lord Alex!? Wasn’t that the Shadow Wolf, the monster of hell!?”
Ms. Sakura, who had been looking around the east area where the dolls lived, came over.
“Hmm? Monster of Hell …… I don’t know about that, but it’s certainly the Shadow Wolf, though?”
“To defeat that monster with a single attack …… As expected of the person who was recognized by Lady Meilin as her husband. You’re not only strong in that, you’re also strong in battle. “
“…… Um. Ms. Sakura. Why are you sticking around so much?”
“Lord Alex. Please refer to me as Sakura.”
“…… Sakura. If stick to me that much ……”
“Are you feeling horny? I’m okay with it, you know? I won’t tell Lady Meilin.”
I don’t know what misunderstanding she was thinking about, but when Sakura pressed her breasts against me…
“Hey, Ms. Sakura! We just talked about it that we’ll do that at night!”
Ellie, who had been teaching the dolls magic, came running.
“It’s true that we talked about something like that at lunch, but it can’t be helped. I got wet after witnessing Lord Alex’s heroic performance.”
“What are you talking about! …… No, you don’t have to explain!”
I ignored Sakura who says something I don’t understand and finished expanding the wall.
But the east area is really getting bigger.
Well, there are more dolls than us, and even though they are small, they are building houses and fields for each pair.
Also, in the northeast area where the dolls’ houses are located, we only expanded the wall and made it an empty space.
This area is a training ground, where Monica and Ellie teach the dolls combat skills and magic.
Recently, it seems that the dolls have been training with each other, and although they don’t have muscle strength, they seem to be getting quite strong.
However, after watching the training for a while, I found that my dolls were supposed to be paladins, experts in defense, but they were not very good at defending themselves, let alone attacking.
“Okay. I’ll teach them the basics of defense.”
Even if they don’t have a shield, there are defensive techniques using a sword.
When I go to the training ground, I call out to two of my dolls that are attacking each other …… or rather, attacking and defending each other with iron swords.
I taught Aleslie, the third pair, and Arefo, the fourth pair, how to parry attacks with the sword and a few other tricks, and we begin a light mock battle.
“Oh, you’re very quick to learn. Good. Next, let’s see the attacks Monica taught you. I’ll only play defense, so you can attack as you like.”
When I told them to attack at the same time, they attacked in perfect coordination, as if they were communicating with each other.
It seems there would be no problem even if they enter the underground cave.
But not enough for me to use my shield yet.
I kept lightly blocking the slashes that kept coming from the two of them.
“I don’t think our swords can reach him.”
“Hahaha. But that was a good attack, Monica taught you well. If you continue to train like this, you will probably be stronger than me, who specializes in defense.”
I blocked all the attacks until the very end.
Should I have at least taken a blow since I’m against a child?
No, but it’s part of the training.
“I’m going to land a good attack on father someday, so will you train us again?”
“Of course. Come at me anytime.”
With that, I left the place and invited Lydia to join me on the south side.
I wondered if it was too soon to be called father? I thought to myself.
“How many children would you like to have, Mr. Alex?”
F-For the time being, let’s leave that kind of thing for the night, so we worked hard until nightfall.
