After that awkward encounter, we all got back to work.
Everyone headed into the main workroom where Lion usually spends his time. I showed them the designs I had created and they were fascinated.
The siblings showered me with compliments, while Orm, momentarily forgetting his arrogance, seemed genuinely interested.
Lion, standing a little too close to my side, tried to materialize the designs using magic.
Now, I have all sorts of eyewear here, magically adjusted for all kinds of creatures.
Nyma and Puoma excitedly tested the equipment, gushing over how amazing it was.
While the siblings were engrossed, I showed the others another new invention: the hand mirror.
Sly's eyes widened and he immediately yelled at Lion to produce dozens of them at once.
Lion declined, stating it was time for Orm to show off his abilities.
Orm scoffed but instantly produced mirrors in all sizes, colors, and designs.
I was intrigued.
Ghost and Sly excitedly began making plans for them.
Orm smirked at me, raising his eyebrows as if to say, "What else?"
When I noticed Lion getting visibly annoyed, I hurriedly showed them my next design.
Sly got distracted from making plans as he asked me what it is.
I told him that it's a stove then explained how it worked.
Sly looked as though he was about to offer me all the world's riches.
Unlike stoves on Earth, this one didn't need electricity or gas, as those things are still unknown in this world.
You simply press a few buttons to adjust the heat to your desired intensity.
While Lion was busy contemplating how to construct it with magic, I approached Orm and showed him a design for condiment bottles. These required a rune on the front with a blank space underneath where I could label the contents.
Orm looked at the design thoughtfully, telling me he had never met anyone so talented.
Feeling Lion's gaze on us, I quickly told Orm that the bottles should be transparent so the contents would be visible.
Most bottles I've seen here are translucent or opaque that sometimes you have to pour a drop out just to know what's inside.
Orm agreed, noting that it's often a hassle when different liquids are stored in identical-looking bottles.
He proceeded to make hundreds of bottles in various shapes and sizes until the room was nearly full.
I laughed, amused by the result and asked everyone to help me move them to a vacant room.
I reminded them on not using any magic for now.
The siblings went to their room after helping clear the workroom.
Ghost went to the garden to pick fruit for the condiments we planned to make. Sly headed to the building I intended to use as my clinic, bringing the eye equipment with him.
Thankfully, Orm and Lion reached a truce as they discussed how to build the stove.
I think they would make a great team someday as despite his arrogance, Orm is incredibly talented in magic and even Lion seems to recognize his abilities.
They finally managed to build the stove together.
Soon, the stove was moved into a vacant room that I declared would be our kitchen and mini-dining area.
They both looked at me as if I were a goddess.
Then they both asked me simultaneously on what else I needed for the room.
I sighed and told them I needed cabinets, tables, counters, and chairs. They were going to be very busy soon.
They started arguing again, so I silently slipped away.
Feeling drained, I went into my bathroom. I have my own, while the males share another.
Theirs isn't small, though as Ghost told me Lion magically expanded it to accommodate everyone.
Lion also gave the siblings their own bathroom inside their room.
Nyma mentioned they don't need to submerge themselves in water unless they are extremely filthy because they don't sweat.
Puoma told me that it's a good defense mechanism when they are around predators.
Both of them feel comfortable around Lion and Sly, which is a relief. I want them to feel at home.
Of course, this castle is already their home, as they are fulfilling their life's purpose with me.
I undressed and submerged myself in the water. The pool is quite large, which I love since I enjoy swimming.
Wait, that's a good idea.
I made a mental note to design a proper swimming pool, as I haven't seen one here yet.
Though this world is more magical than Earth, it has its ups and downs.
I want to introduce them to things from my world that I know they will enjoy.
Of course, I haven't forgotten Sly's warning. I am filled with excitement about opening the clinic soon.
Fortunately, they don't have licenses or universities here yet. If you are capable, you can do whatever you want without limits.
I stopped swimming and sat on the edge of the pool. I have come a long way. I've made friends, at least in human terms.
My life feels colorful and fun every day. I am more confident. I'm using my imagination to improve upon existing designs. I am living the kind of life I used to only read about in novels.
I can finally lead. I am more honest with myself and others.
Yes, I have finally found the change I was looking for.
