As Hoshino Sora pressed the 'expand' button in the void, the land of the Gourmet Manor immediately began to shake violently.
The animals and people on the land became unsteady due to the violent shaking of the ground. During this process, Hoshino Sora was attacked at least twenty times by Forest Elves who couldn't keep their balance due to the earthquake.
Each time, these Forest Elves' hands would coincidentally land on his vital parts: his abs, chest, and even his butt. Once or twice could be called an accident, but after many times, Hoshino Sora realized something was amiss.
These little girls were taking advantage of him and having fun at his expense!
Of course, the most significant was Windsor; the other Forest Elves at least knew how to act, putting on a wobbly posture.
This one didn't even bother to act; she charged directly, throwing herself into Hoshino Sora's arms, then looked up and stared deeply into his eyes, her cheeks flushed and incredibly alluring.
If Hoshino Sora were still an innocent novice, he might have truly been manipulated by her. In fact, as their master, he could do anything he wanted to these slaves.
However, despite the severe earthquake that made the people on the soil sway, the crops rooted in the soil remained completely unchanged, still firmly planted in the ground.
After more than ten minutes, the earthquake gradually subsided.
"Master, look over there! There's a piece of land we've never seen before. It looks so big!"
"It's true! And the air around here feels much better. One breath makes me feel so much more energetic, full of vitality. This environment is amazing!"
"Now this place is so much like home. The air quality is so high, and there are so many delicious crops. Master occasionally cooks delicious food for us too, so happy!"
"So happy! Is it really okay for me to be this happy?"
"Master, you're the best!"
The surrounding changes were immediately noticed by the Forest Elves who had regained their footing.
Originally, the edge of the manor was a dense fog, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. You couldn't enter beyond two meters, or you would be blocked by an invisible force.
Now, the mist at the edge had dissipated, revealing a large expanse of land.
"Has it expanded to ten thousand square meters…?"
Using his legs, Hoshino Sora's figure quickly moved through various parts of the manor. What used to take a minute to reach the end now took about ten minutes.
The newly opened land was still a desolate sight, barren without any vegetation. However, the color of the soil was excellent, indicating amazing fertility suitable for growing vegetables.
A small portion of the extra area could be used to raise chickens and cows. Once the chickens and cows grew up, they could increase the supply of Shuihu Beef and Small JZ chicken, earning more money.
The manor area got larger, more animals were raised, and more meat was produced. This was easy to understand.
Of course, Hoshino Sora couldn't use all the land for raising animals.
After a simple mental sketch, Hoshino Sora planned to use 50% of the land for raising animals, 30% for growing crops, 10% for aquaculture, and the remaining 10% for the Forest Elves' residences. Don't ask why he gave them such a large piece of land; the answer is just because he's generous!
He looked at the chattering, curious group of beautiful girls surrounding him, and the row of small wooden houses not far behind them, all clustered together, actually occupying less than one hundred square meters.
Previously, because the manor wasn't large, he could only provide the Forest Elves with such living conditions. Now that conditions were better, he naturally wanted these little elves to live more comfortably!
A very simple thought.
However, the construction of the village would still take time. Before that, the Forest Elves would have to make do for a while longer. Anyway, they had lived here for so long, a little more time wouldn't hurt.
"Gather."
Stopping his steps, Hoshino Sora looked at the Forest Elves who were still looking around and shouted, channeling his voice from his dantian.
The next moment, all the Forest Elves, as if summoned, ran over quickly and stood in a disciplined line in front of Hoshino Sora.
"I'm giving you a few tasks.
First, plan the pastures and reasonably place various animals throughout the manor. Second, plan the vegetable gardens, with the same requirements as the pastures. Third, I will leave one thousand square meters in the center of the manor for your 'village,' where you can build any buildings you like for living and use.
Can I entrust this matter entirely to you, Windsor?"
Looking at the Forest Elf in front of him, Hoshino Sora clapped his hands and said in a gentle voice.
There were many things to deal with after the manor expanded. It was clearly unrealistic for him to do everything himself, and he didn't plan to put too much energy here, as that would waste a lot of time.
"Windsor accepts the command."
Hearing her master's words, the Elf manager Windsor immediately knelt on one knee, her face filled with respect. Whether intentionally or not, Hoshino Sora's gaze could clearly see a patch of pure white.
"Ahem, you all go get busy."
The large expanse of white was truly shocking, which made him cough twice awkwardly, then he pretended to casually wander around.
"Yes," the Forest Elves said in unison, then scattered, and the air was immediately filled with their bell-like laughter.
Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Hoshino Sora, who hadn't walked far, revealed a satisfied smile. This was exactly the scene he wanted to see.
"They're really taking good care of them."
His fingers gently rubbed the leaves of the crops. Looking at the perfectly formed various crops in front of him, Hoshino Sora's eyes showed satisfaction.
When choosing slaves, after determining their gender, he specifically chose Forest Elves, who were of great help to the farm, to ensure the crops received better care.
Forest Elves not only had good physical qualities but also a natural affinity for plants. They could also use growth-accelerating magic to make vegetation grow faster and move plants without damaging their roots.
See? They were growing wonderfully.
His gaze shifted upwards to the surroundings. As he gave his command, the Forest Elves quickly moved through the manor, carrying plants in their arms, moving them to designated places according to the plan.
After watching for a while and confirming that there was nothing for him to do, Hoshino Sora left the Gourmet Manor. When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had already changed to his room in Yōbi Dormitory.
"Hmm…"
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Hoshino Sora stretched lazily, fixed his hairstyle in the mirror for a bit, changed into a clean white shirt, and pushed open the door to leave.
Soon, he arrived downstairs, then left Yōbi Dormitory and walked down Far Moon Mountain.
Today was his date with Kitagawa.
They had been planning it for half a month, and the destination was Autumn Leaf Plains in Tokyo, which was the dreamland for all otaku, and Kitagawa was no exception.
So, half a month before the Autumn Leaf Plains Comic Convention began, Kitagawa invited Hoshino Sora, planning to have a private date with him.
Hoshino Sora didn't refuse. He hadn't been down the mountain for a long time due to the Elite Ten ranking competition.
And then there was the feeling of owing Kitagawa and the others, because he had spent very little time with them recently. He truly was an incompetent husband.
So the moment Kitagawa Marin invited him, he nodded in agreement without a second's hesitation.
— — — — — — — — — —
"Over here, over here!"
Playing with her phone as if bored, but actually observing her surroundings with the corner of her eye, Kitagawa Marin soon spotted Hoshino Sora slowly walking towards her.
Immediately, the girl's calm expression turned to joy. She looked left and right to make sure there were no cars, then ran quickly towards Hoshino Sora. As she got close, she leaped like a large bird and threw herself heavily onto him.
"Oh, be careful, you're so clumsy."
Reaching out to support Kitagawa Marin's butt and holding her steadily, Hoshino Sora said gently, his gaze on her face. He noticed she had put on makeup today; it wasn't heavy, but it was very beautiful.
"You can't kiss my cheek! I spent a long time on this makeup. If you want to kiss, kiss my lips; lipstick is pretty easy to reapply."
Seeing Hoshino Sora leaning in to kiss her, Kitagawa Marin immediately put her hand over his mouth. After saying this, she proactively kissed him.
"It's been so long since we kissed, I really miss this feeling."
After a while, Kitagawa Marin got off Hoshino Sora, her breathing slightly ragged, her eyes shimmering with water, looking incredibly alluring. Hoshino Sora felt a surge of heat in his heart and couldn't help but sigh, "What a tempting little succubus."
"Let's go, I'll take you to Furei-nee."
"The older sister who's good at making cosplay costumes?"
"Yes, she specially made you a set of Black Dragon Prince armor. I'm really looking forward to seeing you wear it."
Holding Hoshino Sora's hand, they walked towards Furei's secret workshop, chatting as they went.
"Black Dragon Prince? Why does that sound a bit strange…?"
"Oh, that's an R18 work, and it's pure love, you know. It's basically about a Black Dragon Prince whose clan was annihilated falling in love with human princesses from different countries, kidnapping them, and having a whole litter of black dragon babies to strengthen the dragon race."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's confusion, Kitagawa Marin immediately began to explain.
The most interesting part of this work was the female lead's emotional journey from resistance to acceptance, and then there was the suggestive, semi-forced plot which was truly very stimulating!
"I don't quite understand, but I'm deeply shocked."
"When we go home after the comic convention, I'll play that game with you again."
"Okay, I'll be looking forward to it!"
Watching Kitagawa Marin's increasingly excited expression, Hoshino Sora patted her head. This girl was either playing R18 games or on her way to playing R18 games every day.
Being with her often unlocked new ways to play.
"Welcome, you're here."
Looking at the two at the door, Furei's face showed a dazed smile, her gaze fixed intently on Hoshino Sora. As she spoke, she stepped forward, looking at his perfect physique and couldn't help but swallow.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Furei-nee. We're here to try on the clothes."
"Come in quickly. The clothes are already prepared for you in the fitting room. Hurry and put them on so I can see the effect. That way, my all-nighter won't have been in vain."
Her voice was filled with excitement, and even her breathing was a little heavy. Looking at Hoshino Sora's straight posture, her mind was already fantasizing about him wearing the cosplay costume.
For an extreme cosplay enthusiast, Furei's greatest wish was to see others perfectly recreate a character after wearing the cosplay costumes she made!
"Let's go in quickly."
Seeing Hoshino Sora still in a daze, Kitagawa Marin immediately pulled his hand towards the changing room. Then Furei heard the sounds of a man and woman playfully bickering coming from the changing room.
However, she didn't mind; she just couldn't stop twirling in place, her anticipation almost overflowing from her face, until a sound came from the changing room, and she instantly turned her body around.
It was a set of medieval black battle armor, consisting of a heavy black iron plate, a black leather waist guard, and a pair of black leather boots. It looked very heroic on Hoshino Sora.
"I love this outfit so much, Miss Furei, your craftsmanship is truly excellent! This armor, from its overall design to its details, is perfectly polished. It's really hard to imagine this is the work of a college student!"
Standing in front of the mirror with his arms spread, looking at his heroic self in the black armor in the mirror, a surge of pride suddenly welled up in the young man's heart, a heroic spirit of conquering the battlefield!
The black iron armor was made of thick steel, assembled from many small metal pieces. They were tightly connected to form a protective layer perfectly fitted to the body.
The surface of the iron armor was covered with uneven patterns, making the entire equipment look even more majestic.
The black leather waist guard was made of thick leather, inlaid with metal decorations, making the waist guard look even sturdier.
The black leather boots were also made of thick leather, and the metal details and heels gave the entire boot a very textured look.
"Prince!"
As Hoshino Sora stepped, the wooden floor echoed with a thudding sound, each step resonating in Furei's heart, making her instinctively embrace him.
"Ah, um…"
Facing the older sister's sudden affection, Hoshino Sora showed an awkward expression but didn't push her away, mainly because he was still wearing the clothes she made, and turning around and pushing her away felt a bit strange.
Fortunately, Miss Furei knew her limits. After her excitement subsided, she released her embrace of Hoshino Sora, but Hoshino Sora could clearly see the lingering reluctance in her eyes.
"How is it? My outfit…"
Kitagawa Marin emerged from the changing room, her voice tinged with shyness; her incredibly beautiful face perfectly harmonized with the costume, making her look like a true medieval princess!
The top was a loose robe, adorned with exquisite embroidery and inlaid jewels, complementing her fair skin and golden hair, causing Hoshino Sora to swallow hard!
The skirt of the lower half was loose and long, even reaching the ground, with various trimmings and patterns, looking extremely luxurious.
The shoes below were soft leather, with various patterns embroidered on the vamp, exquisitely crafted and looking delicate and lovely—truly a masterful skill to the extreme!
After admiring Kitagawa Marin's entire outfit, Hoshino Sora turned his gaze to Furei again, his admiration for her reaching its peak once more; compared to last time, her craftsmanship had improved significantly!
"Then let's head to the anime convention now."
Clenching her fists, Kitagawa Marin was ecstatic at this moment; dressed in her splendid attire, with her boyfriend in battle armor beside her, they would surely be the most dazzling duo at the convention!
And take many beautiful photos!
"Then we shall take our leave."
"Bye-bye, remember to take some nice pictures!"
Hoshino Sora nodded politely to Furei as a farewell, and he and Kitagawa Marin left Furei's cottage; however, no sooner had they turned from the alley onto the street than an exclamation of surprise came from behind them.
"Holy cow, has the Middle Ages invaded modern times?!"
Looking at Hoshino Sora and Kitagawa Marin's outfits, a corporate drone who had just finished his lunch break and was about to return to the office rubbed his eyes and said in shock, "This is just too realistic!"
"This is a cosplayer, Uncle; the Black Dragon Prince and the Kingdom Princess, characters from the game 'The Black Dragon's Breeding Plan'."
Hearing the corporate drone's words, Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but chuckle, then she took Hoshino Sora's hand and struck a strange pose with him.
This was just a small interlude, but it was enough to show how realistic their costumes were.
In fact, many people wanted to take photos with them along the way, and each time Kitagawa would nod in agreement, then pull Hoshino Sora to pose for others.
They walked, stopping and posing, until it was almost evening when they arrived at the convention center; however, it didn't matter, as the convention officially started the next day, and their original plan was to stay nearby for a night.
Being a famous area, many hotels were established near Autumn Leaf Plains, including some that specifically catered to cosplayers, and the one they chose was such a hotel.
In Kitagawa Marin's words, cosplayers living together would have common topics, support each other in a foreign place, and after getting to know each other, they could even explore the convention together—this was a unique unspoken understanding within their circle.
I must say, I learned something new!
After checking in at the front desk, they encountered many more cosplayers who wanted to take photos with them; after obliging as usual, the two, who had been forced into some 'business', arrived at their hotel room.
"The environment is pretty good."
A king-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom, exquisite wooden floors, solid wood bedside tables, and a balcony directly overlooking the bustling street of Autumn Leaf Plains, which was now filled with people.
Although it wasn't time for the convention to start yet, many otaku, both male and female, had already arrived early to scout out the place; the grandeur was definitely something that local conventions couldn't compare to!
"Right? I looked at over a dozen hotels and compared them for half a day before deciding on this one. The bed here is also very soft, you can try it later."
Hoshino Sora gazed at the twilight by the window, while Kitagawa, having shed all her restraints, cat-walked to his back, her voice tinged with a hint of provocation.
"My Prince, your Princess wishes to bear you healthy dragon babies~"
Her fair and slender fingers caressed Hoshino Sora's armor, disassembling it; soon, Hoshino Sora also became completely defenseless. Looking at the alluring girl in front of him, he couldn't hold back!
So he roared, "I want ten babies!"
Then he had a great time.
