When I got home, the black dragon Mycron, who had been keeping an eye on me, flew over, so I stroked her face.

Seeing this, Shinhō went ahead and carried the few chickens we'd caught back to the coop in my place.

With new members joining the team and plenty of eggs being laid, there was no problem since I could just store them in my 'Inventory,' so I went ahead and captured the ones I found as a precaution.

I also managed to grab a few eggs that were lying near them.

"Huh? The mud and grass are gone; it's all clean now, isn't it?"

The dirt from when we leveled the land for the house had been washed away.

Her scales looked a bit shiny and moist—maybe she'd taken a bath in water.

"Welcome home, Master, Lady Summoned One, Shinhō-sama."

The entrance opened, and Roa came out, bowing gracefully.

She was wearing the maid's outfit I had just given her.

Her hair and skin also seemed to have regained their luster.

"Aah, I'm home. How's the maid outfit fitting?"

"Yes. It fits surprisingly well. To already be mastering such abilities is truly characteristic of Master."

Having generated the girls' clothes so many times, I had gradually developed an instinct for estimating sizes by eye.

"I'm glad that's settled. Did you wash Masyro too?"

"Yes. Was that overstepping?"

"No, thank you."

"Yup yup, thanks a lot, Ruo-chi! As a reward, there'll be plenty of fruit!"

She seemed pleased to have her companion's phantom beast treated with such respect, as Shou was beaming.

"It is my greatest honor to be of service."

And there, Fenrir's Mashiyo came up to me and started nudging my back with her nose.

...Got it, got it.

"Right, Ruo. When the girls go to bathe at night, could you wash Masyro too? Since everyone else has experience, I think it'd be easier if you helped."

My Masylo is a male Fenrir who loves girls.

"Understood. ...Forgive my presumption, but is it acceptable to wash only Master's Masylo?"

"Huh?"

"I also wish to wash Master's back."

Roa’s cheeks flushed as she spoke, and the words made my heart skip a beat.

"S-So, Shuuso is not the kind of person who would force anyone into such lewd acts,"

Mibun finished putting the chickens in their coop and interjected into the conversation.

"Indeed, he is not. I have heard from Ms. Chiyu and Ms. Shion about your master's character. Therefore, this is purely of my own volition."

"Oh, come now... We knew Shuaso was a good guy, sure, but Roa-chan never really hung out with him, did she? S-So, wanting to have sex with him feels a bit premature, don't you think?"

It's true that Shion and I didn't interact much before the transfer either, but thanks to her ability to detect lies, there was an element of trust in how she viewed me.

But as for Roa, her connection to me amounted only to the gratitude of having saved a life when I had been down on my luck.

Well, if someone helped me out, I'd certainly be thankful, but whether that translates into romantic feelings is a whole different matter, I think.

At Miko's remark, Roa smiled calmly.

"Hehe. A master's caliber cannot be measured by time."

"I'm not really the type to have such stature."

"No, you are. At least regarding this household, my lord possesses both the qualification and the capacity for the role of head. It is something that becomes apparent just from a brief observation."

"Is it really that simple, though..."

Well, looking at how organized we were compared to the other transferred persons during the event, perhaps that was indeed the case.

Even accounting for those who couldn't move like Roa, there were still too many students missing from the scene where we secured the light orbs, so I have no idea what state they're in.

"Anyway, let's put the bath thing aside for now; my stomach is growling."

With a casual, off-the-cuff delivery, Moshiko said "let's put it aside," rubbing her belly at the same time.

Fukupo, who had been listening nearby, seemed to be pondering something like, "Is rhyming really that important...?" But since people just say these kinds of things off the top of their heads without much thought, as long as it makes general sense, it's fine to just let it go.

"On a related note, Poine-sama... no, I mean—the Chef would like to have lunch in the garden. It's an honor beyond our station, but she's planning to hold a barbecue party to double as your welcome event." "Yaknikuuu! Sweet!"

Men absolutely love yakiniku (beef and pork BBQ).

"Wasn't it yakiniku when I came, too?"

"Yeah, yeah. It kinda feels nostalgic, doesn't it?"

Fukupo and Moshiko said this, reminiscing about the past.

I understood why, even though it had only been six days, it felt like I'd been there a long time—every single day was incredibly intense.

"Everyone wait here. Let me go check the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

I stepped through the entrance and headed toward the kitchen area.

"Oh, welcome back, Souzou-kun!"

"Welcome home, Master!"

"I'm home. Or rather, Chiyu, stop it."

"Not only did you get your own place, you're even hiring a maid. That's not something a normal high school student could pull off."

Well, I suppose that's true.

I was about to say something else when I noticed a deep, humming whoooosh of machinery kicking in.

Glancing at the massive appliance enthroned in the kitchen, I nodded.

"So, the fridge is installed?"

"Mm-hmm. It’ll take a little while to get cold inside, but it’s working properly."

Shiine sounded delighted.

"Glad to hear it. If it runs stably, we might as well add more solar panels or buy new equipment." "Heh, yes. That sounds good."

"Now then, Sou-kun.

Did you get the item you were after?" Butsu?

"Yeah, I got a ton of fruit and plenty of other edible stuff. Could you check them out for me later?"

I said, looking over at Shiine.

"Okay. Ah, actually, I might want to do a quick check on just the fruit right now."

"Understood."

"Sou-kun, that's not Sou-kun. What I'm talking about is what I asked for."

My childhood friend grabbed my hem and pulled me down.

"The eggs. And yeah, I didn't forget the extra chickens either."

"Condoms."

Soreya lost her patience and cut straight to the point.

"……As for the rubber tree, I searched around quite a bit and managed to find one."

"Wah. Then, Sou-suke-kun, did you… succeed in making it?"

Shion blushed, yet her expression turned eagerly interested.

It was only Soreya who had explicitly asked for it, but it seemed the other girls were curious too.

"Ah, ah yes. The recipe got unlocked as well."

"Glad to hear it, Sou-kun. Tonight, become a grown man."

Soreya said so while patting my shoulder.

"What kind of perspective do you have on that……"

"The gaze of an innocent maiden who is about to lose her virginity to Sou-kun."

"Ugh!"

Once she said that, I was left with nothing to say back.

"Ah, aha. That story sounds good, but how about we talk about lunch now? There’s a lot of stuff I want you to help me with, Sou-suke-kun. Like storage and layout things."

「Of course, feel free to say anything you want」

The meat was raw since they were grilling it outside, but the kitchen already filled with a delicious aroma.

「I made some egg soup」

「Ah, I see.

That sounds perfect!」 It seemed like the ideal pairing for yakiniku.

「Hehe, seeing Sousuke get all energized over grilled meat is kinda cute, don't you think?」

「Mm. It's kind of adorable how he acts like a kid」

Being teased like that by Shion and Chiayu, I felt my cheeks heat up, realizing I'd gotten way too hyped up.

「E-everyone's waiting outside, so let's hurry up」

My abilities were perfect for carrying things and keeping the food warm.

He finished his preparations with a swift snap and stepped outside.

“Yakiniku!”

Moushi was bouncing up and down.

Finding someone whose love for grilled meat rivaled my own, I felt a sense of relief.

I'd lit the lanterns in the kitchen, but I thought about using that fire to start a campfire…… and then I stopped myself.

"It's better to be able to stand up and eat, just like at a barbecue."

So, I crafted a table out of stone. I made the section corresponding to drawers deeper, using it to feed wood into the fire.

That completed a stand equipped with a stone griddle.

Then, I placed a regular wooden table nearby as well.

A simple campfire would have sufficed for just grilled meat, but since there were other dishes to prepare, a table became necessary.

"Whoa! That's handy! This way, we don't have to place plates on the ground or worry about them every time."

"I see. Even without metal, various things can be formed depending on Master's perspective and ideas. Truly remarkable."

Youko and Roa praised me.

"We have wild boar and venison for the meat. I'll grill the venison with just salt and butter."

Shion took the plate of meat set on the table and began arranging the cuts onto the griddle with serving chopsticks.

Soon, the sizzling sound of splattering oil and a delicious aroma began to drift through the air.

"Suso-kun, can I ask you for the other dishes now?"

"Leave it to me."

I placed a clay pot containing egg soup on the table, along with flatbreads resembling naan, and bowls and cutlery for everyone. "Eh? Bread!?"

"Is it chapati? Certainly, unleavened bread can be made without yeast."

Meiko's eyes widened, and Fukaho nodded in approval.

Since there was no rice yet, this would have to serve as the main course.

The combination of yakiniku and bread wasn't exactly a classic pairing, but meat and bread were generally compatible enough.

"Let's save the fruit that the three of you and Mashiro-kun brought back for dessert."

"Ah...! How wonderful. By pooling our collective strength, we are able to enjoy such a meal even though we are stranded on a desert island."

Loa clasped her hands together in awe.

"Everyone, it's almost done roasting!"

We picked up our chopsticks and plates, said "itadakimasu," and began our lunch.

The yakiniku party under the blue sky was a huge hit, thanks in part to the excellent taste of the food.

When I got home, Mikuron the black dragon flew over and I stroked its face.

Seeing this, Shinpo took the chickens I had caught and brought them to the coop instead of me.

With the new members joining, I could store the eggs in my 'Inventory,' so I had temporarily captured the ones I found.

I also got a few of the eggs that were near them.

"Huh? The dirt and grass have fallen off, and it's clean."

The dirt from when they leveled the land for the house had washed away.

Its fur seems a bit softer, so maybe it took a bath.

"Welcome home, my lord, my master, Shinpo-sama."

The door opened, and Roa came out to perform a graceful bow.

She was wearing the maid outfit I had given her earlier.

Her hair and skin seem to have regained their shine.

"Oh, welcome back. Does the maid outfit fit okay?"

「Yes. It fits remarkably well. You're already using your abilities, as expected of my master.」

After repeatedly generating clothes for the girls, I somehow managed to get a sense of their sizes just by looking at them.

「I'm glad. Did Miku and Loa wash them?」

「Yes. Did I do something extra?」 "No, thank you."

「Yeah, yeah, thanks, Loa! I have lots of fruit to thank you with!」

The familiar was probably happy to have been treated nicely by her companions, and she was smiling.

「I am glad to be of service.」

Then, Mashiro from Fenrir came over to me and started poking my back with her nose. ...Okay, okay.

「Oh, Loa. When the girls take a bath at night, could you wash Mashiro too? Everyone has experience with it, so it'll be easier than doing it alone.」

Our Mashiro is a male Fenrir who loves girls.

「Understood. ...But, may I wash your back as well, Master?」 "Huh?"

「I would also like to wash your back.」

Blushing, Roa said something that made my heart skip a beat.

“Y-You, Mr. Sōsuke, are not the type to force people into such lewd acts.”

After finishing putting the chickens in their coop, Shinpo joined the conversation.

“Of course. I have heard about your character from Miss Senyuu and Miss Shion, so this is my own decision.”

“No, no… We knew you were a good guy, but Roa-chan didn’t have any involvement with you, right? D-Doesn’t it feel a bit too early to be doing something so erotic with Mr. Sōsuke?”

Well, Shion hadn’t had any involvement with me before the transfer either, but she could trust me because of her ability to tell lies.

But Roa only owed me a debt for helping her when she was down and out.

No, I would certainly be grateful if someone helped me, but it’s a different matter whether I would develop romantic feelings for them.

Roa smiled gently in response to Shion’s words.

“Haha. A master’s worth is not measured by time.” “I’m not that kind of person.”

“No, at least in this household, you have the qualifications and worth to be a master. That much is obvious after just a glimpse.”

Well, looking at the situation of the transfer students during the event, it might be true that we are well organized.

Even considering those who were unable to move like Roa, there are still many students that I didn't see at the place where the light balls were secured, so I have no idea what their condition is.

"Well, I'll put the bath thing aside for now, but I'm starving."

While saying "put aside for now" in a way that sounded like "mochi-mochi mochi," Shouko patted her stomach.

Deepo, who was listening next to her, was thinking, "Is it important to rhyme...?" But this kind of thing is just said off the cuff, so as long as it makes some sense, it's fine to leave it as is.

"Regarding that matter, Shion-sama... no, the chef said he wants to have lunch in the garden. It's a bold request, but he's going to host a barbecue party in honor of my welcome." "Barbecue? Nice!"

The boys love barbecue.

"My welcome party was also barbecue."

"That's right. It feels nostalgic."

Deepo and Shouko said in a nostalgic tone.

Maybe because each day was so intense, even though it was only the sixth day, it felt like I had been there for a long time.

"Everyone, please wait here. I'll go check the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

I went through the entrance and headed to the kitchen. "Oh, welcome back, Sohaku-kun." "Welcome back, sir."

「I’m home. By the way, Chiyu, stop calling me that.」

「Not only did you buy your own house, but you even hired a maid. A normal high school student couldn’t do that.」 That’s true.

I was about to say something else, but I noticed a humming sound in the middle of my sentence.

I nodded when I saw the giant machine in the kitchen. “The refrigerator’s working.”

“Yeah. It’ll take a while for it to cool down, but it’s working.” She looked happy.

“That’s good. If it keeps running steadily, we could add more solar panels or buy new ones.” “Hehe, that’s right.”

「By the way, Sō-kun. Did you get what you were after?」 What do you mean by "stuff"? ###

「Yeah, I got lots of fruit and other things that look edible. Can you check them out later?」 I asked Shi-on as I looked at her. ###

「Okay. Oh, I might want to check the fruit now.」 「Sure.」 ###

「Sō-kun, that's not what I meant. I was talking about the thing I wanted.」 ###

My childhood friend tugged at my skirt. ###

「Eggs. Of course, I didn't forget the extra chickens.」 「Condoms」

Painstakingly, Senyuu goes straight to the point.

「...It's a rubber tree. I looked around a lot, and I finally found one.」

「Wah. So, Sōsuke-kun, did you make it?」

Shion blushes but her expression shows great interest.

It was only Senyuu who had clearly asked for it, but the other girls were apparently interested too.

「Ah, ah, yeah. The recipe was unlocked.」

「Good for you, Sōsuke-kun. Tonight, you'll become a real man.」

Senyuu says that and pats my shoulder.

「What kind of perspective are you looking at this from...」

「The perspective of a delicate maiden who had her virginity scattered by Sōsuke-kun.」 「Ugh.」

When she says that, I can't say anything back.

「Ah, ahaha. That's a good story, but how about we talk about lunch? I need your help with a lot of things, Sōsuke-kun. Like storage and placement.」

「Of course, you can tell me anything.」

The meat was still raw since it was being grilled outside, but the kitchen smelled delicious.

「I made egg soup.」

「Ah, that's great! It'll go well with the barbecue.」

「Hehe, Sou-suke-kun getting all happy from the barbecue is kind of cute.」

「Yeah, it's kind of adorable, like when he was a kid.」

Being told that by Shion and Senyuu, I felt embarrassed that my spirits had risen too much.

「E-Everyone's waiting outside, so let's hurry.」

My ability was perfect for carrying things and keeping them warm.

I quickly finished up and went outside. 「Barbecue!」 Shouji was jumping around.

I felt relieved to see someone who loved barbecue as much as I did.

I had lit a lantern in the kitchen, and I thought about using that fire to start a bonfire...

「It's better to stand and eat like at a barbecue, right?」

I made a stone table there. I dug the part that would serve as a drawer deep and put firewood in it. The stone grill table was complete.

And I also brought out a regular wooden table nearby.

If it was just grilled meat, a regular bonfire would do, but when there are other dishes, you want a table.

「Oh! That's great! This way we don't have to put plates on the ground every time.」

「I see. Even without metal, it seems that various things are possible with the Master's imagination. Truly impressive.」 The maids and Loa praised me.

「The meat is boar and deer. The venison will be cooked with salt and butter.」

Shion took the plates of meat set on the table and arranged them on the grill with chopsticks.

Immediately, the sound of oil splattering and the delicious smell spread around.

「Sousuke-kun, can you do the rest soon?」 「Leave it to me.」

I put a clay pot with egg soup, thin flat bread like naan, and enough dishes and utensils for everyone on the table. 「What? Bread!？」

「Chapati, perhaps? It's true that unleavened bread can be made without yeast.」

Shouzi's eyes widened, and Shenpo was impressed.

Since there's no rice, it'll have to do as the main dish.

Grilled meat and bread don't go together much, but the combination shouldn't be bad.

"Let's eat the fruits that the three of them and Mashiro-kun got as dessert."

"Yes...! How wonderful. By pooling everyone's strength, we can have such a meal even on an desert island."

Loa clasped her hands together in amazement. "Everyone, the meat is starting to cook!"

We took our chopsticks and plates and began our lunch with "Itadakimasu."

The barbecue party under the blue sky was a huge hit, not just for the taste of the food.
