It seems I spent the entire day focused on the subjugation. I found out why the Those Who Recite Sins Cult is so terrifying.
These bastards were adept at guerrilla warfare. For so reason, they were also well-inford about us.
Just when we thought they’d appear sowhere, they were already launching attacks from the opposite side.
It felt like half the ti spent on the subjugation was just wasted on traveling back and forth.
Thump! Thump!
As night fell, Lord Weaverpool erged in his armor, looking pleased. His armor was drenched in blood, as if he had fought his fill too.
"Your words were true. I apologize for doubting you, even for a mont."
"Not at all, Lord."
Of course, I maintained proper etiquette.
’Son of a bitch. Smiling like that, but behind my back... I’m pissed off.’
Such people were common in reality too. But that was reality, devoid of justice and hope, so it was understandable.
It angered that I had to encounter such a person even here.
Unaware that I was grinding my teeth, Lord Weaverpool made an offer.
"Rest at our mansion today."
"I appreciate the offer, but I have sowhere urgent to go today."
Even if not now, that offer would co up again anyti. Why? Because I would make it so.
"Heroes are truly busy people."
"I will assist you again next ti, just like this."
"Haha! Then next ti, please do accept my current offer."
"Of course."
"Right, what kind of reward would you like? Just na it."
I shook my head. Reward, my ass.
"I didn’t do it expecting anything."
Lord Weaverpool’s face beca solemn. Suddenly, a shadow fell over him like a plaster statue.
"When a person accomplishes sothing, there must be sothing that follows. The driving force that moves people is ultimately hope."
Honestly, I was a little surprised. That kind of villain knows such things.
’This guy is at least better than most bastards. He realizes sothing they would never comprehend.’
Only then did I understand how such a man could be a Lord and maintain his image.
Lord Weaverpool chuckled and complained.
"If only I had a daughter, I would have her propose to you, hahahaha!"
"May I request so water, bread, or other food items and so clothes?"
"Daily necessities? Is your household in a difficult situation?"
Lord Weaverpool tilted his head. The people around him also stared at in surprise.
Of course, I shook my head and replied.
"I wish to share them with those who truly need them."
Lord Weaverpool was impressed. At that mont, it wasn’t an act; it felt very genuine.
Of course, I requested this with a purpose in mind.
"Not only are you capable at a young age, but you also possess a heart that cares for the weak. Perhaps we are facing a hero from a story!"
He showered with praise. As I stood silently, the people around were quick to agree.
Having already witnessed my performance, they praised until their mouths were dry.
This part is nice.
"Understood. I shall provide a large sack! Head Maid!"
The Head Maid I had seen last ti appeared subtly, as if she had been there all along. Her appearance was as impeccable as ever.
"I will prepare it."
She entered the mansion. It seed she was preparing sothing.
In the interim, Lord Weaverpool asked.
"So, has anything changed since you beca a Hero?"
"The way people look at ."
"Indeed! For a man, honor and strength are paramount. Without them, there is no value in existence."
How macho. I just nodded vaguely, and the Lord let out a hollow laugh.
"Still, aren’t you happy to have taken your first step as a Hero?"
"I am overwheld with emotion."
"Your parents must be pleased as well. Ah, how are your parents doing?"
"Yes, they are doing rather well."
"And a girlfriend?"
"...I don’t have one. I’m too busy with work."
"What do you usually do at night?"
"I rest. And you, Lord?"
"I don’t rest even at night. Those cultists never rest!"
Why is he asking this stuff? To brag? Every question this guy asks annoys .
Thump!
The Head Maid effortlessly brought out a large sack. She must be stronger than she looks.
The Head Maid placed the incredibly heavy-looking sack in front of . She turned and left, indifferent and chic.
"Can you carry it?"
I could use the ring to solve it, but I needed to show my strength here.
To show why a Hero is different from an ordinary person. I lightly lifted it with one hand.
"It’s not difficult. Then, if you’ll excuse ."
Riding Lyn, I galloped towards Ravenscoft. Today was a day where I gained quite a lot.
’I gained Lord Weaverpool’s trust. More importantly, I imprinted myself on the people of Weaverpool. At the very least, they’ll treat favorably.’
[Side Quest ’Lucian!’ Cleared!]
[Random Item Appraisal... Appraisal Complete!]
[Acquired ’Noble Mage’s Circlet’!]
I finally checked the quest reward.
[Noble Mage’s Circlet]
Rarity: Noble
*Unique Passive ’Cultivation’: Recovers 5 MP per second.
*Unique Passive ’Piercing Spell Formula’: Magic Penetration increases by 50%.
「Covers the bald spots of mages with M-shaped hairlines.」
It wasn’t for , but a useful item for a mage had appeared.
The problem was that I had no one to gift it to right now.
’It’s not like there’s a mage around .’
Still, it was a gain in itself. It was one of the things needed to transition from Runner Late-stage to Expert Early-stage.
Saved myself a dungeon, then.
’Today was a success. Next ti, I’ll gain more trust and then target the people around the Lord.’
I arrived in Ravenscoft. I headed not to my house, but to Dinora’s.
When I knocked on the door, Dinora appeared a mont later.
"What brings you here at this hour?"
"Dinora, aren’t you uneasy living here?"
"What can I do? Housing is expensive."
"What if there was a world where Dinora could live comfortably?"
It was a coincidence, but it was also why I felt at ease leaving Dinora here.
Originally, I had planned to earn a lot of money and buy her a house, but by chance, a thod had presented itself.
Dinora was astonished. She asked, trembling.
"Lucian, can you use magic?"
"Haha, you know I have the Mana-less Condition. That’s impossible."
"Then how?"
"Like this!"
I held out the ring. The gem on the ring emitted an intense light.
As it glowed, energy spread in all directions, enveloping both of us. It unfolded like a galaxy.
"Co with !"
"Where?"
" Your’s new ho!"
Dinora hesitated for a mont. The situation itself was strange and frightening. But soon, she made up her mind.
"I’ll trust you."
She took my hand. At that mont, the surroundings glowed pure white, and everything flickered away.
When I opened my eyes, the location had changed. This was the Subspace embedded in Canape, my own personal space.
On a plot of land about 11000 square feet, there was a two-story mansion, and next to it, a small building like a warehouse.
Dinora looked around, her mouth agape.
"Oh my, what is this?!"
"I just found out about it myself. It’s the power of my ring."
As soon as I finished speaking, a unique sound effect played, and a notification appeared.
[Canape’s weight limit is removed!]
[This place is a Floating Sky Island that embodies the owner’s inner world. Bring items from reality and decorate it!]
It was truly my own sanctuary.
’Right, this is the ability I gained by unlocking the gem. No, it’s more like I awakened an inherent ability.’
Aunt’s advice was crucial. Dinora was delighted.
"This place is so wonderful! Look at the clouds over there, they’re beautiful!"
"Are they? Haha."
"But what’s below? It’s floating, isn’t it?"
"...I don’t know either. I tried to fly down and check, but the mont I tried to fly, I plumted down."
Dinora gasped in surprise. Honestly, I almost died.
I knew it was a Floating Sky Island, but I was curious about what was underneath. I was terrified when I tried to check it the first ti I ca here.
Strangely, my flight or abilities didn’t work here. No, should I say I lost quite a bit of power?
Dinora gave an awkward laugh. Everything must still be unfamiliar to her.
"R-right. As long as we can live well here, that’s all that matters. I should go get my luggage."
"I’ll leave this here. It’s daily necessities like water and bread."
"Okay, thank you!"
We returned to reality. Dinora imdiately went into her house to pack her belongings.
I watched her, smiling silently.
’There’s a common saying, isn’t there? Wanting to carry your lover in your pocket. I can make that a reality!’
I took a deep breath and looked around. A sky island adorned with translucent clouds, where a cool breeze blew.
This place was my own utopia. I wanted to decorate it beautifully.
’How should I decorate it? The house and surrounding scenery seem to follow my will, but it’s still unfamiliar. I want to decorate it like a hot spring.’
Hot spring sex, and even sothing like a reverse gangbang.
The won would feast on , keke. Just imagining it makes my dick hard.
Dinora ca out, carrying her luggage.
"I didn’t have much luggage to begin with..."
"But if you leave here, you won’t be able to do your massage business. Is that okay?"
"It’s fine! Rather... couldn’t my little Lucian take responsibility?"
Dinora, holding her luggage, pushed her breasts together and gently swayed her hips. Damn it, if she does that, I can’t not take responsibility even if I don’t want to!
"Don’t worry. You can send your thoughts whenever you want, and I’ll provide daily necessities."
I gave her reassuring words. Now she was mine.
Dinora blushed like a young girl.
"Thank you. Doing all this for a woman past her pri like ."
"Past your pri? You’re still beautiful and look like you’d be good at breeding."
"Ugh, you idiot...!"
"I love you, Dinora."
"Ugh, I, I love you too...♥"
After a brief mont of being lovey-dovey, we returned to the Floating Sky Island. I guided Dinora to the mansion.
It was truly a mannsion in the style one would find at a foreign resort. The interior was sophisticated and clean.
It was even more spacious than it looked from the outside.
Most importantly, as if following my imagination, there was even a natural hot spring on the first floor, connected to the back area of the mansion.
Dinora, who had co back outside, exclaid in admiration.
"In this high-altitude climate, such a building. How did you build it?"
"Uhm, actually, with my imagination."
"With your imagination? Are you a god?"
"I told you I’m not, keke. Sohow, a mansion appeared. It looks a bit strange, doesn’t it?"
"Yes, but it’s good that it looks like several people can live here."
That’s true. Originally, I wanted to keep all my won here, but...
I respect their opinions too. In truth, I brought Dinora here under the pretext of protection, but...
It felt strange, like putting a bird in a cage.
"Where’s that?"
Dinora pointed to the warehouse-like building next to the mansion. I knew that place well.
"My horse is there."
"A horse...?"
I took her there.
Neigh!
When I opened the door, Lyn was standing upright, doing squats. If you look closely at that guy, he has an athletic girl trait, just like Lumina.
"...A horse doing squats?!"
"Ahem, I was surprised too. Anyway, he’s gentler and kinder than he looks. You won’t be lonely."
"Yes! Thank you so much. Lucian, you saved ."
"Oh, it was nothing."
"Mwah♥"
[Affection for ’Dinora Soarib’ increased!]
[Current Affection with ’Dinora Soarib’: Favorability♥♥♥♥→Favorability♥♥♥♥♡]
She tiptoed slightly and kissed my cheek.
Huh, she had this fresh innocence too. I asked mischievously.
"I didn’t even buy you luxury goods this ti. Is this okay?"
"This boy... do you think I’m just a crazy woman obsessed with luxury goods? Your very existence is the greatest luxury to ♥"
I couldn’t refute that. Receiving her sweet gaze, I returned to reality.
I returned ho, washed up, and went up to my room. As I sat on the bed, a ssage suddenly popped up in the corner of my vision.
It was a ssage from Dinora.
-[Dinora]: Lucian, next ti you co, could you bring so at and vegetables? I want to try cooking!
-[]: Yes, I understand!
I should rember that.
But it’s really aweso to communicate like this with soone living on a sky island.
In reality, it must be sharing thoughts, but it was truly amazing.
It’s good, this system.
I lay down on the bed and went to sleep. I felt like I would sleep well today.
