Just as Ria and the other elves had warhere were some troublesome monsters he mountain. However, as soon as he released his aura, all the monsters fled desperately, as if there were no tomorrow.

  The birds around also panicked, flying in all dires while chirping loudly.

  Mier, everything fell into absolute silence.

  "Alright, now I collect the peace," Zaydas murmured softly to himself.

  Desding, he stood before the part of the mountaihere lenty of red cy. Sihere were some trees and herbs nearby, he used the replication option on the herbs to identify what was useful from what was not and stored the useful ones.

  It was a quid effit way to gather a good harvest while also clearing the area. He cut dowrees, stored them, and then begaing cy tiles right there, st them in his ste space.

  ───────────

  "Ria, do you think he'll return safely?" Rize asked.

  Turning the rabbit over the fire, Ria didn't turn around as she answered, "I don't know, but I hope so."

  "Well, he seemed strong. So, he should be fine. After all, he always choose to fly," Risu reminded.

  "Yes, flying is a great advantage for esg," Rikoto agreed.

  When the meat was ready, they began to eat.

  "By the way, these are from that rabbit species, right?" After chewing, Riri said, "I 't believe he gave us so many as if it was nothing."

  "...Maybe we were w for nothing?" Rita said with a strange smile.

  Their stemmed from the fact that it was getting darker. And this was the time when some monsters became more active—usually the most dangerous ones.

  At this moment, the two moons in the sky became increasingly visible, and the stars shone brightly in the cloudless night.

  When they were almost doing and preparing to take turns sleeping... something came from the sky.

  At first, Ria was o, and so was the rest of the group.

  "It's him! He's back!" Rize excimed.

  "Speak quietly, Rize," Ria warned.

  "Ahh..." Rize felt embarrassed.

  But Ria didn't focus on her; instead, she focused on Zaydas, who was flying toward them.

  Landing on the ground, he said, "Sorry, I took lohan I pnned. It's already night, but that's no problem. We simply teleport there."

  "Teleport?" Ria and the girls said in unison.

  "Yes, basically moving instantly to the pce I mentioned before," Zaydas expined. "It's one of my abilities. I just need you to form a circle and hold hands."

  No one moved. Obviously, it was too muformation to process.

  Su advanced ability—they had heard of it before, but only certain magical creatures or divine beings could use it.

  'Exactly, who is Zaydas? What is he?' Ria wondered. 'Is he really human?'

  Although everything seemed to indicate that he was a human with great magical power, it ossible that this was just a superficial analysis, uo see through his transformation. Perhaps he was a divine being who had taken on a human form.

  After discussing for a bit, they still chose to trust him.

  Ria said, "Very well, we will accept your proposal. We will be ting on you, Lord Zaydas."

  "Just call me Zaydas," he replied. "And for this to work better, let's form a circle holding hands."

  "Okay," they agreed easily, gathering all the luggage they had.

  As soon as the circle was formed, Zaydas began murmuring words they couldn't decipher, illuminating the dark night.

  "Ahh, the fire!" Rize remembered.

  "Don't worry," she heard Zaydas say and saw him simply stomp on the ground. The earth began c the fire, putting it out.

  It was a simple a, but it impressed Ria and the girls.

  Such great trol while casting an advanced spell… It wasn't something just anyone could do. At least, Ria didn't know anyone like that in all her 400 years of life.

  ───────────

  Hiraku got up to take a piss. And, as he was about to return home, a magic circle formed very close to him.

  Stepping back, Hiraku became fully alert.

  When something started to materialize—more precisely, transitioning from beiransparent until fully visible—he was a bit surprised to see who it was.

  "Zaydas!?"

  "Hiraku, I'm back," he said with a smile, stepping away from what seemed to be a group of elves and approag him.

  Meanwhile, the girls were looking around with curious eyes.

  'Where did he get these elves from?' Hiraku wondered. 'And why did he bring all of them here?'

  "You see, these elves have a rather sad past, and I made a deal with them to find a pce for them to live. I hope you don't mind having them stay here," Zaydas said.

  Seeing the elves' gazes fixed on him and after hearing a bit about their past, Hiraku was moved.

  "Well, I don't mind, but…"

  "But?" The one who seemed to be the leader of the elves looked anxious.

  Hiraku tinued, "Unfortunately, there's no pce for you to sleep. Where will you stay?"

  "Oh, that's not a problem. We set up a tent. By the way, I'm Ria," Ria said.

  "Ria, right?" Hiraku said. "Since Zaydas brought you here and you have nowhere else to go, if you'd like, you stay."

  "Yay~" The girls cheered.

  After that, one by ohey introduced themselves to Hiraku.

  "By the way, you don't o set up a tent," Zaydas said mysteriously. "I'm going to do something cool, and if you want, you e watch. You too, Hiraku."

  "Me? Okay," he accepted easily.

  Then, Zaydas led them to where his small house was located.

  , he opened a red magic circle in the air, and from within the circle, several trees began to fall.

  "Wow!"

  It wasn't just a few trees—there were around 100 of them.

  Then, a giant red magic circle appeared on the ground, and from the circle, roof tiles appeared—yes, red cy tiles.

  "Zaydas, this is…"

  "Yes, it's what you're thinking. And I made plenty—if you want some ter, I'll share with you," Zaydas said with a friendly smile.

  "Seriously, you're a real friend," Hiraku was touched.

  "Okay, the iing part starts now," Zaydas said before beginning to float.

  Holy, Hiraku envied his ability to fly…

  In the air, Zaydas created several magic circles in the shape of a dome.

  …

  Ria swore she would never fet this se for the rest of her life. And she knew she wouldn't be the only oo think that.

  From those multiple magic circles, an incredibly powerful magic she didn't reize began to emerge.

  This seemed to alert the hell wolves, eared and looked at them. When they saw the hell wolves, both Ria and the girls swallowed hard. Sihey already knew about them beforehand, they weren't surprised, but instinctively, they wao flee.

  When the hell wolves' focus shifted from them to Zaydas in the sky, Ria sighed in relief.

  She even saw her sisters pg a hand on their chests as they sighed dramatically. Well, it was no wonder—one hell wolf was already difficult to deal with, let alone several of them…

  Back to Zaydas, Ria saw the small house from before starting to be dismantled, with even the furniture and bed being stored. Then, the trees were magically shaped, turning into pnks and boards.

  Each piece began to fit together as a very strong and well-structed foundation took shape, sized to be a mansion.

  The sounds of wood colliding as they were joined echoed while a mysterious white light appeared in the sky in the form of a sun, illuminating the entire area.

  Little by little, what was just a foundation began to rise into walls. Before the roof frame was even started, she saw the interior structure being built—stairs, simple furniture like chairs and a table, a ter and sink, ets, and more.

  'His ability is enviable...' Iably, Ria couldn't help but think this way.

  Her and her sisters' strong point was stru, yet even with several of them w together, they couldn't pete with this speed aail.

  She watched as the first floor was furhe staircase to a sed floor was formed, and the fl for the sed level was id out.

  Bit by bit, the sed floor went through the same process as the first. However, this floor was dedicated to bedrooms—one of which even included something that appeared to be a bathroom. The floor was reinforced to support the weight, and what seemed to be por tiles were created.

  'How did he do this?' She wao know.

  However, she thought it would be impolite to ask.

  As if readihoughts, Zaydas said, "If you're ied in anything you saw, feel free to ask me ter."

  His words made Ria's and the others' eyes shine.

  Even Hiraku, whom she had just met, seemed excited.

  After the sed floor was pleted with a total of nine bedrooms, the four-sided hip roof began to take shape. Then, she saw the red cy tiles—seemingly glowing slightly uhe white light in the sky—being cleverly pced. Then, screws floated into pce, seg the tiles perfectly.

  "Done."

  Desding from the sky, Zaydas nded hem.

  Looking at the roof, Ria pointed and said, "It was to make those tiles that you wahe red cy, right?"

  "Exactly," he replied cheerfully. "Thanks to you all, I was able to find it. Thank you. And for now, if you need a pce to sleep tonight, you choose one of the rooms—I made plenty, and..."

  Anic circle appeared in the air, and several futons floated out, along with pillows.

  "Although there are no beds, this should be better than sleeping on the floor," Zaydas said.

  Ria eechless.

  She took one of the futons that floated toward her and, feeling its softness—especially the pillow—she thought, 'For him, something like this is simple? Then what would an ideal bed for him be like?'

  The other elves had simpler reas, openly expressing their happiness as they snuggled their faces into the futons.

  "So soft~"

  "I love this~"

  "Am I in heaven?" Rize said dramatically, ing herself ion.

  "Girls, don't fet to say thank you," Ria remihem before bowing toward him herself. "Thank you for everything, Zaydas!"

  "Thank you!" x6.

  He snapped his fingers, making the light in the sky disappear, then smiled at them. "Haha, it's all good. Anyway, it's te—let's head inside and sleep. We talk more tomorrow."
