**Day 44 Morning Cave**
It's unusually raining. Maybe rainy season started? Annoying curtain of endless raindrops. Almost never rained before—only light night sprinkles at most? Well, seems like it'll stop soon, so cave rain shelter. Continuing last night's thing from morning would be bad… looks super tasty but probably bad… yeah, just thinking it gets glared at!?
Casually remodel rooms, make new furniture to pass time.
Got in mood—made hammock, fooled around in hammock, ended up round two. Secret.
From inside cave, magically landscape garden, planted fruit trees bought in town/village, added terrace connecting rooms, linked to river for small pond, placed tables/benches around.
Made stone path on riverbank, arched bridge over river, benches on opposite bank—playing like that, rain finally lightened.
"Looks like it'll stop soon? Light rain now—go home or stay overnight?"
She's torn but leaning toward home? At night alone she comes on strong, but morning deadpan glare—probably overdid it. High school boy—daytime can't win. Yeah, only night… field of activity?
Yeah, zero spotlight so overdoing bedroom scenes—not my fault.
Anyway, Armor Committee Chair seems worried about girls—let's head back. Alone time nice, but she looks happy having girl friends to chat with. Can come anytime—time to return. But what do they do in girls' meetings? Ask—maiden secret, won't tell?
Acceleration—blast through forest. Monsters extinct, mushrooms overharvested—no need. 'Walking Technique' effect—whoosh through forest. 'Walking' + level-up combo—movement speed insane. Armor Committee Chair follows normally. No hunting—round trip tens of minutes. Town in sight. Uh, some town?
"New good stuff in? Buying, buying—big spender here, humble general store? Kinda?"
Back in town, peek at general store. Armor Committee Chair dives into new clothes. Yeah, radiating killer aura—better step away.
Stock quantity/amount increasing slowly. Store cramped, goods everywhere.
"Not making much? Invested tons in mushrooms/funds—why still cramped?"
"Mushroom sales good, but procurement can't keep up. Just expanded—already too small, can't display everything. Someone's fault!"
Bought next building, knocked through wall—connected only. Uneven floors, ugly, crammed chaos—no order.
"Bought back land? If short cash—lend? Payback in ero-lingerie fine? Ero-dresses too! Those were amazing!! Seriously!! Thank you very much!! Kinda!!"
"Whoa whoa whoa—in stock, calm down. Land bought, but no carpenters. Undecided warehouse or store—have to run like this till build. Someone's fault. Super busy every day… seriously, what happened to this town? Whose fault?"
Bought next store for expansion—still short, bought back land, no money left, no construction yet. Invested food/ero/magic stones—three great desires, two maxed, sleep desire ignored—every night sleep-deprived effort?
"Back land bought—build? Stone anyway—4-5 floors max, quick. Basement? Dungeon?"
"Haaah—build what? Why so fast? And why think general store needs basement dungeon? What do you want from general store besides ero? Basement wanted, dungeon absolutely not."
"Then connect this building first, clear back wall goods. Armor Committee Chair help too. Later pay with clothes raid."
Yeah, back land included—almost square. Normal building fine—sales 1-2F, reserve 3F, warehouse/office/big sis home 4-5F, extra warehouse, basement 1F—enough space for now. Building style—add floors later, basement expandable anytime. Yeah, do it.
Measure current store precisely with 'Rashin Eye'—record, calculate, pre-reinforce. Pour mana underground—groundwork, gather/crush soil/stone, raise walls enveloping store, build columns. Hmm… 5 floors—mana borderline? Slowly weave mana, 'Grasp' bind soil into structure. Thicken/reinforce corners/center columns, arch-support upper floors. Spiral stairs/rock wrap center column—reinforce walls/columns. Basement loading entrance outside—complete.
Tougher than thought— if no ero payoff, wasted effort! Yeah, high school boy—anything for ero, dreams infinite? But clothes always needed—beautiful, suits anything. Want to dress her? Well, undress too, mostly ero clothes… but want sexy matching beauty? Yeah, high school boy style? Kinda?
Back to store—they're slowly clearing. I worked hard? Still only half, middle area.
"Done already, still clearing? Connect here only—rest tomorrow, mana critical?"
Solidify/reinforce back wall, merge into building wall, expand/connect… mana… tiny left. But bit more… made it, barely! Yeah, interior/decoration tomorrow. Limit.
"Wait, what done? What… ah… aaaaaah! What is this! Where are we! What got done!"
General store big sis panics alone, rushes out, stares up mouth open. Townspeople gather staring—still rare buildings? Just dirt/stone box building? Square—yeah. Paint/decoration tomorrow, hungry—home?
Mana drain = starving, dizzy. Starving, but why big sis frozen staring up? Yeah, what about my ero? Hurry back or Armor Committee Chair raids all clothes for pay—seriously? Already arms full—ok?
Overflowing smile—Armor Committee Chair thrilled with cute clothes, I'm thrilled with ero clothes. Yeah, home = dress-up play. Undress then maybe no dress—but dress-up play. Details after undress. Probably can't think after undress—undress starts something not dress-up. But can't undress without dressing! Well, definitely starts.
"I'm home~. Dinner extra extra big? Hurry—starving. Pekopeko~ Seriously."
"""Welcome back—garden done? Wait, those clothes! Which shop?"""
Heard new stock at general store—girls sprint out. Some use 'Instant Step'/'Shukuchi'. But good stuff already bought out—by happy neighbor?
Refill till stuffed, sign girl busy running—gave her bought clothes as gift. She danced weirdly happy. Stranger might think crazy girl, but fun-looking so fine… probably?
Now bath and sleep! Mega sleep! Sleep till no sleep left! Tonight sleep sleep sleep! Well, high school boy style?
