In the Wonderland space, on the soft, plush living room sofa.
Eula's coat had been removed, revealing her black, form-fitting, one-piece leather suit. From the middle of her chest to her lower abdomen, a smooth, semi-transparent black mesh lay snuggly.
Because she wasn't wearing an inner vest or bra, the pale skin of her chest could be clearly seen through the mesh.
Nolan's hands traced her elegant abdominal lines, gliding down to her pressed-together, voluptuous thighs.
The tops of her over-the-knee high-heeled boots bore a black, non-slip strap cinched tight against the inner side of her snowy white thighs.
Nolan was preparing to loosen the straps a bit and pull off her boots; otherwise, removing the bodysuit would be a bit troublesome.
But Eula reached out to stop him, her cheeks tinged blush as she glanced sideways at Amber, parted her soft lips, and murmured:
"…Dummy, don't undress me here, we're about to have dinner!"
She still felt embarrassed having someone else see their intimacy.
"All right."
But having come this far, there was no way Nolan would just give up.
Instead of continuing to remove Eula's boots, he reached to unzip the back of her bodysuit.
As the zipper slid down, Eula's graceful back slowly revealed more snowy skin and fine lines of her spine, only stopping above her plump, round hips.
With nothing holding it together, Eula's curvy body gently pushed the snug leather suit open and down.
So, her upper half was bared, and Eula instinctively covered herself with her arms, shooting an embarrassed, aggrieved glare at Nolan:
"…You asshole, I told you not to take it off!"
"I can't just tear your clothes, can I?" he replied. Eula, cheeks burning, couldn't muster a rejoinder, only let out a disgruntled "hmph" to show her displeasure.
She probably kept a mental tally of his mischief, one score added.
Nolan pressed on the suit at her waist and pushed it down to hang around her thick thighs, fully revealing her soft, white, shapely rear.
"…Mmm!"
He kneaded Eula's round hips and plump white thighs, his own back sinking into the sofa's embrace.
Eula lay atop his chest, her face turned as he captured her soft, moist lips in a gentle, lingering kiss…
More than half an hour later, as dinner was about to begin, Eula was sweating buckets, streams trailing down her skin and her bangs sticking damply to her forehead.
Flushed to the roots of her ears, she quickly pulled up her tight black bodysuit and put herself back together.
"Hurry up and zip me!" Eula turned her face back with an angry huff.
Nolan gave her one last peck on the cheek, then stood up and zipped her suit.
Afterward, Nolan and Eula sat at the dining table and began to eat, but even as he did, his hand slid over to Shenhe's thigh.
She, too, wore a tight, black one-piece bodysuit, this one running all the way down her legs.
Shenhe's expression didn't change, she merely moved her chair a little closer, making it even easier for Nolan to caress her thighs.
Everyone else shot him contemptuous looks—was he really incapable of behaving, even at the dinner table!
Nolan, pretending nonchalance, fixed his gaze on the delicious food before him.
After dinner, he continued using his energy to boost everyone's strength, then finally pulled Eula and Shenhe along for a soak in the hot spring, thus bringing the wonderful day to an end.
The next morning.
Eula dragged Nolan out of bed early, urging him to hurry up and eat breakfast so he could go with her to the Beast Realm.
At present, the Beast Realm was under the rotation management of several captains from the Knights of Favonius team—last month it was Kaeya, this month it was Eula.
After all, with more and more adventurers around, someone had to keep an eye on things.
As for the specific tasks that needed to be done, they were also to be assigned and managed by whichever captain was on duty that month. Since it was Eula's turn this month, she was particularly attentive.
Nolan had no choice—he had promised her he would help, so all he could do was dutifully fulfill his commitment.
Because Eula herself usually teleported in at the base inside the Beast Realm, Nolan simply followed her out, stepping directly into the realm.
By now, the Beast Realm base was no different from a small adventurer's town. Streams of people were coming and going, with many adventurers looking to make a fortune in this curious alternate world.
Following Eula, Nolan headed to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, where he received a map showing the areas surrounding the base, painstakingly drawn by the knights through diligent exploration.
"It marks the places that the geologists, after surveying, consider most suitable for building reservoirs," Eula explained, folding her arms.
"Got it," Nolan said with a nod, his eyes already following the map's marks for "reservoir" locations: four of them labeled on the map, one each in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the dire bear's territory.
Since agricultural production was still small in scale, these four reservoirs would be enough for now.
"Let's get moving. I'll go with you," Eula said, pulling Nolan to the door, then unfurling her Wind Glider, gesturing for him to quickly generate a wind field.
Most of all, the scholars had been pestering her the past two days, urging her to get the project underway.
But the scale of the job was huge, and recruiting enough workers was tough—so she figured she'd just let Nolan handle it.
Knock out all the work in one go, saving not just time but costs, too.
"Fair point, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can clock off." Nolan guided the wind element to create a wind field, sending both him and Eula soaring into the sky.
After considering for a moment, he decided they would build the reservoirs in the order of east, south, west, and north, so the two of them first flew east—roughly five kilometers before they reached the location marked on the map.
Since the base would likely need to expand in the future if more people came, there was no need to build the agricultural reservoirs too close by.
But setting them too far away would be inconvenient, so they agreed on a distance of five kilometers from the base.
When Nolan arrived at the spot, he didn't hesitate at all—he directly summoned the "Sword God" and enlarged it to his current limit, about a thousand meters in height.
Next, he condensed his sword intent into a golden shovel, and with a few swings toward the ground, a pit of over ten square meters appeared at once.
"Digging out a pit around 500 meters in diameter and about five meters deep will be enough," Eula said.
The scholars, aware of the labor involved, had suggested a reservoir with a diameter of a hundred meters would barely suffice. If possible, the bigger, the better.
Eula simply had Nolan dig a five-hundred-meter one—at that size, it was basically a small lake.
Even if the terrain of the Beast Realm was rather dry and the sun extremely fierce, water from the reservoir wouldn't evaporate that quickly.
"No problem!" Nolan spent just a few minutes digging out a pit of about the right size, then a few more to smooth it out.
Soon enough, a circular reservoir five meters deep and five hundred meters across was complete.
Immediately afterward, Nolan channeled water element into the reservoir, and in no time at all filled it to the brim.
With his current strength, filling such a reservoir by controlling the water element wasn't difficult—just a matter of a few minutes, though quite energy-consuming.
