Chapter 28: Something Something, We Made A Village [1]

Lancelot managed to pry himself from the dangerous claws of the man-hungry succubi.

His body felt a sense of pleasure that caused him to lean against a tree and hold his breath as the Ether from over 30 imps entered his body at once.

Sadly because he was present, the Ether needed to enter him and then be dispersed to the various troops slowly afterwards.

So for 30 minutes, the Hares ran around the forest collecting shiny things and cutting down trees.

Lancelot suffered, his body watched by the three demons like hawks.

'I swear to god—I hate this feeling!'

The problem became less of an issue the stronger you became as increasing the Lord's level got more difficult once past level 10.

However, because of the sheer amount of kills which slowly increased as he endured, Ikumi found a small pack of wolves or random imps that weren't tied to spawn but naturally born lingering around.

Most likely to join the small gathering.

'Phew...'

Once the intense pleasure ended, Lancelot retained most of the Ether—then the rest was syphoned to the troops.

Ikumi and Morgana were different due to their ranks and would increase their power along with Lancelot.

This didn't mean they would never increase their strength through fighting independently as their grade and race could evolve, and that was separate from the experience needed to advance.

But this was something that, even after one lifetime, Lancelot had no clue about. Not to mention the Empire, after 2,000 years, barely knew the triggers and caused monster and troop evolution.

Sometimes it was finding a strange item related to the race—others happened through combat, but what happened for Troop A might not cause evolution for Troop B of the same race, which was confusing for most scholars.

Lancelot lifted his left hand, looking at the glowing pink sigil to see the changes in his body.

'Come to think of it, when did I last view the changes?'

He shook his head, causing silver hair to dance across his face at his lack of attention. Lancelot lifted both hands and slapped his cheeks.

"Focus!"

"Thankfully, all the base building and Lord things are unrelated to the combat page; otherwise, I might cry about the layout..."

He gave a wry comment before turning to look at the sky. Currently, the sun was a few hours from setting, and he wanted to head back to the real world for a short period to take a moment to relax.

Despite being in Avalon having great benefits, the bed in the Empire would give him a far better rest, and he was a student; first arousing suspicion so early would be foolish.

There were people he needed to meet, like the slightly foolish eastern girl Sumika and although lessons didn't start till next week, it might be good to visit the class and prepare, maybe asking Sebastian to buy some decent food if possible.

'I'm glad I can sell the imps parts for gold and silver used in the Empire without asking Sebastian, although he serves me. His primary Master is the academy and Merlin!'

[My Lord~ what are you doing?]

[Fufu~ do you need a hand from one of the cute girls to help you release your pressure?]

'It's okay—maybe I'll ask one of those cute sanguine girls to help me.'

[!!!]

[Never! My King, don't you have me? The Queen of Succubi?]

'Hmmm? Oh... you existed.'

Morgana was standing less than an inch from his back—Lancelot could feel her warm breath and almost felt hyperventilating as she breathed heavily and sniffed his neck.

"Morgana, we need to hurry the hares up and head back—I want to finish building the basic structure of the place before I go back to the Empire."

"Mmm~ such a boorish man, doesn't even play along with big sister anymore."

"There is far too much to do. Otherwise, I might play with you."

"Fufu~ big sister knew that Lancelot couldn't hate her!"

Seemingly refreshed, Morgana's body shot into the air, her wings flapping before covering Lancelot in dust and dirt from the braid and ground before vanishing.

A short while later, the shouting and chirping of Ikumi and Morgana arguing filled his ears.

Then Ikumi shouted, "I'm telling Master on you."

Moments later, her loud thumping began approaching him.

{Master! Master!}

{Morgana said she wouldn't let me get my reward and would say I did bad things!}

'...'

[That Rabbit Wench is lying! She didn't want to carry the logs and kicked them at me!]

"I don't care..." He whispered before returning to where he could feel all his troops grouped up.

The white Hare rushed towards him the moment she spotted him.

"Masterrr~ that bad old lady is being too cruel!"

"I know, I know~ how about I take you back home later and leave here?"

"Hehe~ Master is the best!"

With a few simple words and using the fact he needed Morgana to defend the base anyway, he managed to calm the immature Frost Hare down.

Said Hare was now hopping beside him and speaking about various ingredients...

Maybe for dinner?

When the pair arrived, the scene was rather picturesque.

Ten Frost Hares all carrying a small sledge with several logs of wood on them, while the two poor Sanguine Succubi looked at Lancelot with tears in their eyes as they, too, were forced to haul some of the things collected, stone, cloth, coins and wood.

'Morgana is too cruel...' He thought before giving them all an elegant wave and smile.

He knew their pain because the goblins were too lazy to cut the trees down the first time he made his village.

This forced him to do it himself, as the Lord!

"Marimo! State our gains!" He said with a commanding and elegant voice.

The cute black Hare jumped to attention with a slight yelp—somehow, he liked to tease Marimo more than Ikumi...

Maybe it was a sexual thing, as he could only see Morgana and Marimo as women due to how much older and more mature they seemed...

Looking at Morgana again, who was flying around on her with nothing in her hands.

'Well... sometimes they seem mature.'

Lancelot wanted to rush back and construct the wall because tonight, there would likely be an attack from a monster tribe.

The newbie barrier only affected humans and similar races.

But monsters, demons and random units that spot his land can attack him now!
