v2c46 - Nora with her fluffy tail and making a new home
Something fluffy wraps around my hand.
There was a strangely comforting feeling that made me want to touch it forever, and as I was enjoying its fluffiness…
Nfuuuh …… B-Big brother. T-That …… that is ……”
“Alex. What are you doing to Nora!”
Ellie’s loud voice woke me up.
In my vision I see Ellie’s face looking into my face, I feel Nina hugging me on my left arm, and my right hand feels the same fluffy touch as in my dream.
The touch is so good that I subconsciously move my right hand…
“Ahhh …… b-big brother …… I, I ……”
“Look, there you go again! If you want to touch something so badly, touch me!”
“…… What are you talking about?”
Ellie’s angry gaze led me to look to my right, and I saw Nora, her face flushed bright red, staring at me with a mixture of hope and worry in her eyes.
“Nora? Ah! I’m sorry ……. I must have unconsciously stroked your tail.”
"
"
“I-It’s okay. If big brother want to do it, I …… I’m fine with it.”
“What’s fine! Alex, take your hand away from Nora’s and you get up too, Nora. Nina is …… sleeping so happily, so I can’t wake her up!”
I noticed that Lydia had already made breakfast and was looking at me from the table.
Probably, Lydia woke up first and started to cook a meal, and then Nora fell on my right side, and that’s when my hand touched her tail.
That means, I had been touching Nora the whole time!?
I apologize to Nora first and then wake Nina up to eat.
So we’re talking about today’s activity plan…
“Mr. Alex. We have been cultivating to the south, but the distance is too far, so it would be nice to have some kind of rest point.”
Lydia made a request.
“It’s true that it’s hard to go to the southernmost point and come back …… and repeat that. And we are going further south now.”
“A rest point …… something like this cabin? If you help me, I can make one.”
“Nora is really awesome. I’m thankful, but …… there is one problem.”
“Big brother. What problem?”
“I’m trying to figure out how to transport the wood. We’re talking about how hard it is to get there because it’s so far, and the forest is in the opposite direction too.”
“I see.”
We went to the forest that Shelly had made for us, chopped down the trees with an axe, and cut them into the necessary shape with a saw.
The work up to this point has not been that difficult, since Nina has been able to cut very well with the tools from the cabin, using her blacksmith magic.
But for now, I have to carry that wood by hand, and there’s a limit to how much I can carry at a time.
Well, I could do my best, but that would stop Lydia’s work, which is the trouble.
“Big brother. Well, shall we make a trolley to make it easier to transport the wood? If we make rails out of iron and lay them out from the forest to the south, I think it would make it a lot easier to transport.”
“Trolley and rails!? I see! That would make transportation much more efficient! The forest is to the northwest, so if we lay the rail straight south from there, we won’t have to destroy the existing fields.”
“Well, we already have some iron, but I think we need to get a lot more.”
With this conversation, the purpose of the underground cave group changed from exploration to iron mining, Nina decided to join Ellie and Monica, and the surface group became me, Nora, and Lydia.
“…… Huh? By the way, where’s Monica?”
"
"
“Oh! She’s on the upper bed, so I forgot to wake her up!”
“Then, I’ll go wake her up.”
It seems that Ellie heard Nora’s strange voice(?) and came down in a hurry, apparently forgetting all about Monica.
I climbed up a few rungs of the ladder, looked up at the bed above…
“Hey, Monica. It’s morning …… Whoa, I’m sorry! I …… but why are you completely naked without a blanket on!”
For some reason, I saw Monica’s body at close range, not even wearing underwear.
I went down the ladder and listened to what she had to say.
“I’m sorry, Master. I’m a nude person when I go to bed.”
I found out an unbelievable fact.
“What!? In other words, last night, Ms. Titty Girl and Ms. Ellie were completely naked ……”
“Why am I naked too! Rather than that, Ms. Monica was fully clothed before she went to bed last night and this morning! What are you doing!”
Oh, sure.
She was fully clothed when she slept next to me before.
So, Monica’s pretending to be asleep in bed all this time after she woke up this morning and took off her clothes …… What is she doing?
“Those details don’t matter! Come on, master! Come up here, and I, Monica, will serve you to the best of my ability!”
“Mr. Alex! When the new house is finished, let’s leave Ms. Titty Girl here, and let’s all move. It’s a bad influence on Nora.”
“Me? I don’t know about you, but I’m fine as long as I get to stay with big brother, you know?”
And with that, Nora ran over to me and clung to me like always.
“Then, after we clean up after the meal, let’s do our own activities. Nina, I’m sorry, but I’ll leave the iron mining to you.”
“Yes! Ellie, let’s go!”
“Right. If there are no new hands, I’ll be enough on my own.”
I took Lydia with me, and Nora and I left the cabin to do some cultivating work.
“Wait! I’m going to change now! I mean, isn’t it a little bit too much!? Miss Ellie! Miss Nina!”
Hearing Monica’s cries behind my back, we moved south.
