“[Stone Wall] …… Mr. Alex. Is this place right?”
“I understand. [Earth Hole].”
The next morning. Taking Lydia with me, we came to the lake where we had met Sophie, and we went to the surface by the method we had used before to get a hole drilled above Shelly’s shrine.
Now we know where we are directly above the lake.
It was further from home than we had expected, but well, I’m sure we could make it work.
For starters, we surrounded the hole that Lydia had drilled for us with a stone wall to keep the Shadow Wolves from coming…
“Alex! Bring us back to the surface too!”
“That’s right! Master …… you will make me cry!”
Ellie and Monica start screaming from the bottom of the hole, but there was no way I’m going to leave them behind.
So, using the stone wall, they were brought back to the surface, and everyone who had accompanied us to the underground cave was safely taken to the surface.
We had come here to check the location of the lake in order to install the magical device that Sophie had made to pump up the water from the underground lake.
Having achieved our goal for the time being, we made a narrow passage south from here ……. which led us to the training area in the northeast area.
“Thank you, three of you. Now we’ll have a watering hole, albeit a little further away.”
“Mr. Alex. If it’s water, I can make it for you, though.”
“Thank you. But I wanted to reduce Lydia’s workload, and we have more dolls now, after all.”
Yesterday, when it was discovered what I had done with Ellie and the others in the underground cave, I was taken to the bedroom in the afternoon with Lydia and the others who had not gone underground.
As a result, there were more dolls.
There were two Lydia dolls and three Sakura dolls that she had secretly brought back from the underground cave. And with five of my dolls, which are the seventeenth pair of dolls.
I’m not bothered by the increase in the number of dolls, since they can do almost everything except defeat the Shadow Wolves.
“Big brother! We’ll soon finish the third house!”
“I see. Thank you as always, Nora.”
“No problem! I’m fine! Golem is helping me out too, so it’s a lot easier!”
As we pass through the east area, Nora, who is building us an additional house, runs up to me and hugs me.
When she first came here, Nora used to be carried by me all the time like this, but I’m glad to see that she’s not shy anymore.
Well, I still hold her in my arms in the bath, but the other members of the group are doing much crazier things.
When Nora goes back to work…
Sophie spoke to me immediately.
“Sophie. We know where the lake is now, so please set it up.”
Sophie put some equipment on the cart that she had made and put it in the hole in the lake that we had just opened.
Sophie worked on it for a while…
“Master. The installation is complete. Now, I have set it to operate using the magical power I contain. Since it is not a big device, it consumes little magic power, but please do not forget to supply me with magic power.”
The device is now safely ready for use.
Incidentally, when I woke up this morning, Sophie was standing outside the small bedroom, so I finished replenishing Sophie’s magic power with Fiine’s blindfold and exquisite tongue, just as I did yesterday.
Well, after that, Fiine also drank …… Ahem.
“Master. We can get the water out right away, but how would you like to do it? It will be powered by my magic power, so I can remotely start and stop it, adjust the amount of water, and so on.”
“That’s great. Well, first of all, I would like to have a small amount of water here …… [Stone Wall].”
Along the wall of the passageway leading to the northeast area, a long, narrow trench is created with stones.
I made it with the intention of it being a waterway, but…
“Oh, I see. If I want water to flow over there, you have to make it slightly sloped.”
The water did not flow well to the south because I had reduced the amount of water and flattened it out.
“Master. Since there is a long distance to the other side, let’s raise the starting point here. Please wait a moment.”
While Sophie was adjusting the magic device, I was working on the delicate control of the stone wall …… I can’t do it.
Although my extra skills allow me to use earth spirit magic, it is difficult to make fine adjustments because I am not skilled in spirit magic.
In a great hurry, I called Lydia and asked her to create a channel with a nice little slope.
Then, as one would expect from a professional, a channel with a subtle slope was created, and the water went into the bath that Nina had made for us and that was now used by the dolls.
“Thank you. It’s exactly what I wanted. And Sophie, it’s amazing that you could make something like this in such a short time. I really appreciate it.”
“Thank you very much for the compliment. It not only pumps the water, but it also filters and purifies it so that it can be used as drinking water.”
So the water that those monsters were floating around in is drinkable.
I was thinking of using it for washing clothes and watering crops, but Sophie has exceeded my expectations.
“Master. I’m going to change the subject, but it’s time for me to replenish my magical power.”
“…… Lydia. I need a little favor ……”
“It’s all right. I will help you.”
We went into the cabin near us and Lydia blindfolded Sophie and …… Wait! I have to stop now, or I’m going to …… Aahhh!
“I’m sorry. I was a little late on stopping. Well, let’s try again then.”
“…… Lydia. I’m about to …… Kuh!”
“Um, what are both Master and Miss Lydia doing?”
After Lydia drank mine about three times, I was finally able to supply magic power to Sophie.
After Sophie left the cabin saying she was going to work on the next development…
“My body started feeling hot after drinking Mr. Alex’s thing. Please let me have some here too ……”
Lydia approached me …… and I did it again today in the light of day.
