With his highly selective "truth" delivered and the initial allocation of tasks complete, Akira decided the immediate council meeting had run its course.
"The meeting is adjourned," Akira declared, bringing the first strategic session to a close.
He issued immediate, practical orders:
He instructed Chachamaru to carefully escort the still-fainting Madoka to one of the newly prepared rooms in the castle for rest, ensuring the young girl was tended to immediately.
He then looked directly at Serafall Leviathan. He knew the hyperactive Devil had been silently using her vast power to link minds with the hundreds of summoned girls outside, keeping them updated on the meeting's proceedings via telepathy. Akira decided to leverage her natural energy.
"Serafall, tell the girls outside to choose their own rooms and settle in." Serafall nodded repeatedly with a beaming smile, clearly delighted to be in charge of a massive operation.
Akira then delivered the final, most unsettling piece of information:
"Know this: this entire domain's location exists in the boundary of the world, courtesy of Yukari. And it is connected directly to my mind."
A wave of palpable dread washed over the handful of girls who truly understood the implications of this statement. The powerful figure went instantly pale.
They instantly knew the terrifying truth: because the domain was tied to Akira's thoughts and his {Boundary Eyes} could see through things, he would be capable of periodically peeping at them without anyone realizing or being able to detect the intrusion.
The pragmatic schemer had just confirmed that he was not only their commander and provider but also their unseen warden.
With the meeting over and the domestic command structure loosely established, the leaders took over.
Serafall immediately used her amplified telepathy to unleash the hundreds of waiting girls to swarm the massive castle, quickly claiming rooms and establishing temporary living quarters.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth and Bismarck swiftly moved to organize the vast Azur Lane fleet into operational defense and maintenance groups.
Just as Akira was preparing to retreat to his private room, he was immediately cornered by a group of girls who had observed the council meeting from outside and demanded clarity on their roles.
Standing before him were the ones who had been excluded from the first meeting:
Erza Scarlet, Juvia Lockser, Wendy Marvell, Akashiya Moka, Kurumu Kurono, Shirayuki Mizore, Hyūga Hinata, and Kuroneko (Ruri Gokou).
Kurumi watched the scene unfold from the sidelines and let out a wide, appreciative grin, thoroughly entertained by Akira's self-inflicted predicament.
Akira, however, smoothly moved into delegation mode, immediately assigning them, specific tasks:
"Erza, your mastery of Exquip magic is invaluable. I need you as a sparring partner to rapidly develop my own combat skills. I will also arrange for Scáthach to assist with this training."
"Juvia, your water magic is indispensable for the team. You are key for regulating the reservoir and providing irrigation for the farm."
"Wendy, your Sky Dragon Slayer magic can provide critical support. Your buffs will enhance the efficiency and stamina of the teams."
"Your collective mastery of Yōki (Yōkai power) is a crucial source. Specifically, Mizore, your ice power can be used to moderate the climate of the surrounding area. You are to seek out Serafall and request her help in mastering more complex, large-scale ice-based power."
"Hinata, your Byakugan is essential. Later, I will lead teams outside to look for survivors. You will be my unrivaled reconnaissance officer for those missions."
Finally, Akira addressed the last, and most challenging, individual: Kuroneko. Before he could speak, she erupted into a furious, high-speed complaint.
"Why me?! Why was I summoned here?" Kuroneko demanded, gesturing wildly. "I saw plenty of other 'normal' people still sleeping in your domain! Why call me, who has no magical combat ability, and not them?"
Akira fixed her with a direct, honest look that momentarily dropped his guard, letting his true, simple motive show. "Because," he stated bluntly, "I simply like you. I didn't want any other summoner, should they appear, to have the chance to claim you."
The effect was instantaneous and profound. Kuroneko's face turned a violent shade of crimson. Overwhelmed by the direct, unadorned confession from the very person she just knew, her mind short-circuited. She fainted, collapsing backward, only to be caught in a swift reflex by the nearby Moka.
Akira, satisfied that the immediate chaos was delegated, quickly directed the remaining group. He told Moka to take the unconscious Kuroneko to a resting room and instructed the other girls in front of him, to find quarters for themselves.
As he turned, he noticed several Heroic Spirits (Artoria Pendragon variants being particularly numerous) already wandering around, holding various fruits from the island's. The inherent, massive appetites of the legendary "Gluttons" had kicked in, and they were already hunting for food. Akira could only shake his head, silently grateful the island's fruit growth was perpetual, or he'd never have dared summon this multitude of hungry Servants.
Before he could teasing them, Ria approached with a report, demonstrating the High Elves' natural efficiency.
"Sir Akira," she reported crisply, "we have already harvested several batches of the fruits, counted them, and sent them to the designated inventory room in the castle."
Akira gave a rare smile of genuine approval. "Excellent. Ria, please designate and set aside the following: Breadfruit, oranges, bananas, and pears. Those will be the first produce we use to trade with the military personnel later today."
With the trade goods identified and the farm teams organized, Akira confirmed the final piece of his logistical puzzle. He stepped out of the Domain and back into the expanded penthouse suite to retrieve the one item essential for the real-world operation: the {Bag of Infinite Space}.
