When I woke up, it was to Sylphie rubbing her face in my chest and making happy little sounds. Light streamed in through the windows and the bed was cold behind me.
I frowned, wondering where Eris could have gone. Yes, we normally got up early to train, but I had thought that we'd all sleep in this morning.
Rudy: Hey Sprite, where's Eris?
Sprite: Ah… she asked me to give her a head start, master.
I frowned.
Rudy: A head start where, exactly.
Sprite: Eris and Ghislaine left together just before first light. She left a note on the dresser.
I summoned the note to hand and read it.
You know I'm not good at words, so I'll keep this short. I want to get stronger, to protect our family together, and I can't do that here if all I'm doing is sharpening myself against you and the others. I need other people to test myself against and to learn from. I'll come back in a year or two, when I think I'm ready. Tell Roxy and Sylphie I love them.
I love you, Rudeus. My husband.
Eris. Your wife.
I got out of bed and put the letter down as I began to dress.
"Rudy? What's wrong? Can't we sleep in a bit longer?"
"Why don't you stay and keep Roxy company for a bit, Sylphie? I've got something I need to do."
"What's that?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just track down my missing wife and spank that little ass red for not talking like a normal person."
"Ooh… What did Eris do?"
"Left to go on a training trip with Ghislaine without even saying goodbye."
Sylphie winced, before it shifted into an angry pout. "Give her a smack for me, too!"
"I will. And one for Roxy, too," I promised with a laugh. "Sprite, overhead view. Eris's position."
I found my redheaded wife zipping across a field on her red speeder bike, Ghislaine beside her on her own bike. And of course, flying high behind them, the Eris. Focusing on the area ahead of them, I channeled mana into a teleport and disappeared.
I reappeared half the country away, directly in the path Eris and Ghislaine were taking. Turning to orient myself on them, I drew a stone sword up out of the ground and waited. A few moments later, I spotted Eris riding along on her bike. Those red eyes locked with my green, before narrowing into a glare. She accelerated forward, quickly picking up speed. I rolled my eyes as she charged.
"I keep telling you to use a seat belt." Holding out my hand, I reached out for the bike, touched the mana inside it, and twisted, shutting it off.
The bike nosed into the ground immediately and Eris went wide-eyed as she was launched off of it in a tumble. She managed to recover mid-air, pulling her sword and launching herself at me. "RUDEUS~! That was my bike!"
"It's gonna be your ass in a minute!" I caught her blow on my sword, the ground cratering under my feet from the force of it as she used wind to shove herself down and I used earth to distribute the force of the blow. I shoved upwards, throwing her off of my sword and breaking the lock, then I went after her. Touki filled my body, mana rolling off of me and extending my senses, my Demon Eye of Foresight telling me what she was going to do before she did it.
I used every advantage I had to beat her down, not holding back anything but my strength as I wailed on her. Eris fought back with fire, wind, lightning, and earth, throwing out every trick I'd seen her use and coming up with a few new ones on the spot as we danced around each other, blades and spells clashing and canceling each other out, in the air and across the ground.
There was just an instant of warning from my flank and I reacted on instinct, dumping momentum into my body and moving out of the way, before tearing into Ghislaine for interrupting our fight. The big bitch of a woman wore a huge grin, her own Demon Eye uncovered as she bought a moment for Eris. "You've gotten better, Rudeus!"
"This is between us. Fuck off and wait your turn, Ghislaine," I growled.
"Can't handle us both?" she asked, wagging her eyebrows as she launched into an attack. An attack that I stopped cold with telekinesis, before throwing her up and away, then slamming her into the ground and burying her up to her neck, because I wasn't in the mood to entertain her at the moment.
I turned back to catch a fist to the face from Eris. I dropped my sword and returned it with a punch to the gut that folded her over my fist, before grabbing her hair and using it as a lever to slam the fiery redhead into my knee, once, twice, then finally the ground—where I stomped on her head and rubbed her face into the ground for good measure. She lay there and panted and I kicked her onto her back and dropped down, straddling her chest.
"Good, pant, spar," she grinned up at me. "First time, you took me seriously, in a while."
"You little idiot."
Reaching down, I began stripping her clothes off. Shirt tossed one direction, pants jerked off and tossed the other way. Eris leered up at me as I kicked off my pants and jacket, before grabbing her legs, folding them into her chest, and hilting myself inside of her.
"Ung!" she grunted as I fucked her into the ground, our hips clapping together with loud, wet slaps.
I grabbed her throat, squeezing hard enough to make her face turn red, and my wife only grinned up at me. At least, until her beautiful red eyes rolled up in her head and she clenched around me, letting out a strangled moan as she came hard and fast.
"Get knocked up, you little brat," I growled, burying myself in her tight cunt and filling her up as her hands locked around my wrist, holding tightly as her legs locked at my back. This time, I didn't use water magic to pull my sperm out. Nope, I used it to shove it all up into her womb. If she actually got pregnant, then that was just a natural consequence of her actions.
I let go of her throat and Eris laughed—a happy, giddy sound as she clung to me and pulled me down into a kiss. "Did I make you that angry, Rudeus?"
"You could have stayed long enough to say goodbye."
"I knew you'd try to argue—ah!"
I shut her up with a smack to her ass, followed by two more good swats for Sylphie and Roxy. "Or I'd have let you go because Sprite can just teleport us around. Dumbass."
She blinked. "Oh, right. Forgot about that."
"Of course you did," I sighed, thumping my forehead into hers. "Sylphie was disappointed you weren't there, you know?"
"Mm. Sorry—"
"Nun-uh. Call her and apologize."
Eris huffed out a sigh. "Fine. Sprite?"
Eris's phone flew out of her pocket and projected a hologram of the inside of our bedroom back in Roa. Sylphie and Roxy were… a little preoccupied. By which I mean, the pair were hugging and Sylphie was kissing our mentor. The pair blinked as they spotted the hologram and looked over. Roxy sighed and looked straight at me. "What did you do?"
"Why's it have to be me that did something?!"
"Rudeus beat me up and fucked me into the ground, then filled me with his seed and told me to get knocked up. He hasn't pulled it out, so he might have done it. Who knows?" Eris grinned.
"Okay, all of that is true, but it's missing context. This brat," I smacked Eris's ass, earning a yelp, "tried to leave without saying goodbye. She just left a note."
Roxy turned a glare on Eris. "Idiot."
"Yeah," Eris nodded, "I'm kinda dumb. Only really good at two things. Fighting, and fucking this idiot."
"Well? Why did you leave?"
"I want to get stronger—"
"The real reason."
Eris winced. "…I didn't want the adventure to end there. And I wanted to catch up with Ghislaine. And I do want to get stronger! I want to learn more sword techniques and get better."
Roxy and Sylphie exchanged a look, before my white haired wife demanded, "You'll visit. Every week."
"But—"
"Every. Week."
"'kay."
"If you need help, call," Roxy added.
"I won't—"
"Eris."
"'kay."
My other two wives smiled. ""Good!""
Eris's eyes sought out mine. "Have they been practicing that?"
"Probably," I shrugged.
"Well, have fun and stay safe, Eris!" Sylphie beamed a smile. "I have to finish showing someone how much I love her and missed her!"
Roxy's eyes went wide. "Rudy, Rudy help! She, she, ahn~!"
Sprite cut the call and I rolled my eyes. Eris wrapped her arms around me and buried her head in my chest. "I love you."
"I love you too," I answered her, squeezing back. "How do you feel?"
"Sore. Good kinda sore," she chuckled. "And full. If you don't leave that in me this time, I will hurt you."
"Fine, fine," I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Come on. We should go unbury Ghislaine and I'll give her a quick spar and a fuck just so she doesn't feel left out. Sprite, could you fix their bikes—?"
"Already done, master," the spirit assured.
"Thanks."
I helped Eris up and we quickly got dressed. My wife leaned against me as we made our way over to dig out Ghislaine. The big cat-woman was not happy at being excluded and she made sure I knew it as we fought. Then again, when she tried to break my hips. Then Eris decided to join in and we lost another hour, but none of us was complaining by the end of it.
I sat in the bath with Sylphie tucked into one side and Roxy the other, my arms around my wives. Across from me, Kishirika and Elinalise sat, the lewd elf reaching out and stroking my cock with her foot as a smile pulled her lips up. Of course, on the other side of her foot was Kishirika's foot, doing the same thing, the Demon Empress wearing an identical lewd look.
The door to the bathroom opened and Lilia joined us a moment later, slipping quickly into the water and settling down on the other side of Kishirika. A moment later, a hologram joined us of the interior of the bathroom of the Eris, where Eris and Ghislaine sat in their own tub.
Looking around, Eris asked, "Where's Ariel?"
"Coming!" the girl in question called, hurrying inside and slipping in, where she settled on the other side of Roxy, between her and Kishirika. "Let today's meeting begin."
"I'm glad we have your permission, your highness," I snarked, sending the blonde a grin.
Ariel stuck out her tongue. It was Roxy who got everyone back on task. "We're agreed that we aren't going to stay in Roa?"
"I don't care," Kishirika shrugged, making her breasts bob in the water.
Elinalise wore a wry expression as she said, "I'm going where you go, or it's back to sucking and fucking my way across the countryside."
"My place is by master Rudeus's side," Lilia answered with a small smile.
"I don't have any preferences, as long as we're all together," Sylphie beamed a happy smile, before rubbing her face against my arm.
Roxy looked around at the others. "I still say we should have invited Zenith and Therese at least."
"Wives, mistresses, and lovers only," Kishirika countered immediately. "Zenith may be your mother in law, but this is the same woman whose poor choice in judgment led to her staying with a philanderer even though she knew of his nature. Therese is Rudeus's family, but this doesn't directly impact her—or anyone else. They can choose to live in Roa, or wherever suits them."
"Zenith will stay with master Rudeus," Lilia opined. "Therese will stay close as well, because being near him offers safety to herself and her charge."
"Mm. So, what are we thinking? Build our own little village somewhere?" Eris asked as her hands fondled Ghislaine absently under the water on their side of the feed.
"Somewhere quiet and peaceful," Sylphie suggested.
Ghislaine nodded. "Easily defensible."
"Distance to resources doesn't really matter, since Sprite can find and teleport them as needed," Roxy murmured.
With a grin, Elinalise suggested, "If you're going to build it yourself, you may as well go for something prestigious. Something that says that this place belongs to the strongest wizard in the world."
"A palace, definitely," Kishirika agreed.
Roxy looked considering, before turning a fond smile on myself and Sylphie. "I don't know. I think a small farm house in the middle of nowhere would be just as nice."
"Yes, I'm sure some of you would enjoy that nostalgic feeling," Ariel allowed. "However, we have to take planning for the future into consideration. Assuming each of us has at least one child with Rudeus—"
"Heh. Just one," Eris snorted. "Three, minimum."
"One sounds nice," Sylphie countered, before grinning impishly. "One a year."
Chuckling, Ariel's blue eyes swept over the group. "Yes, I see some of us are more ambitious than others on that front. Be that as it may, it merely proves my point. At a minimum, four children within the next year. Perhaps as many the next year. When Eris returns, at least one more—"
"I ah," Ghislaine spoke up, drawing everyone's attention. She coughed and looked away. "Rudeus, I want one too."
I sent the big woman a leer. "Alright."
She nodded and Ariel continued. "Within three years, potentially nine to ten children. I'm sure we're each going to want our own bedroom outside of a master bedroom, including Rudy, because sometimes you just want some time to yourself. Even if you make love that night, you may not want to sleep in the same room." There were nods of agreement all around at that, except from Sylphie, who looked a bit mulish on the subject. "Factoring in bedrooms, toilets, bathrooms, kitchen, and various other rooms for living, work, study, or otherwise… Something small isn't going to cut it. If we're all going to live together and not in separate homes, then we need something large. If we're considering multi-generational living, allowing our future children and grandchildren to live with us, then it's going to need to be very large."
There were some thoughtful looks all around as they considered what she was saying. Eris murmured, "It'd definitely need to be at least as big as the manor in Roa."
"Probably double that size," Roxy shook her head.
"A home and family that large would require staff," Lilia added. "Even if master Rudeus were to use magic to make the entire thing clean itself, there is still the matter of collecting food, meal preparation and cleanup, and child rearing. We cannot, and should not, simply push those duties off to Sprite. Especially handling our children. Yes, it can be an onerous task at times, when they aren't eerily peaceful." Her green eyes found me and the woman sent me a fond smile. "But there is nothing quite as rewarding as caring for your own child."
"Staff requires housing for staff," Kishirika pointed out. "Typically separate quarters—"
"No way!" Eris protested immediately. "Rudeus! We need cute beastgirl volunteers! It wouldn't be home if we couldn't just bend one over and make her squeal!"
I palmed my face and Ariel sighed. "I had almost forgotten what I was marrying into," the blonde murmured, sending my redheaded wife an exasperated look. "Eris, have you perhaps considered that some of us might not want to take advantage of the staff?"
"You don't have to if you don't want to," Eris shrugged.
"There are lots of staff in Roa who volunteered specifically because they hoped to be working for, or under, Rudy or the rest of us," Roxy inserted herself between the two. "In fact, we had to turn away a lot of them because there were too many people looking for work for the manor. We can do some reshuffling and offer the new hires the same deal as the rest. That is, working on the condition of understanding that they may be asked, not forced," she sent a pointed look at Eris, who nodded, "to participate in sexual situations."
"Still not really comfortable with the idea of just pushing down some random maid," I shook my head.
"You should," Kishirika sent me a look. "Take it from me. You should spread your seed far and wide, Rudeus. With as many girls, in as many places as possible. But especially at home. If you teach your future children the way you've taught Sylphiette, or your sisters, then every last one of them is going to be an absolute monster with magic. You've made a lot of enemies lately. Putting yourself on the stone by taking Badi's place put your name out there, so there will be people looking to cut you down to claim the title. Marrying her," she nodded at Ariel, "would make you king of Asura, if my understanding is correct?"
"Yes," Ariel confirmed. "Some queens would choose not to elevate their husband to the position of king, but I want to rule as equals. Even if my husband doesn't want to take an active role in ruling, he should have the position and respect he deserves as my husband, partner, and equal in all things—not just the man I married. Which means that Asura's enemies would be your enemies, and your enemies the enemies of Asura."
Kishirika nodded. "Thought so." Turning back to me, she twitched her foot against my cock and smirked. "A standing army of mages just as powerful as Norn and Aisha, loyal to us because they're family and an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Even if half or more of them are bastard children and the get of beastkin, demons, or otherwise you can create cadet families specifically for them."
Looking around, I frowned when I saw an alarmingly large number of women nodding along with her, among them more than one of my wives. Deciding to distract them from that line of thought for now, I said, "How about we focus on a home first? If we're looking for something defensible, remote, and peaceful you can't get much more for any of those than going the Laputa route."
Ariel perked up immediately. "Can you?!"
"I remember that story," Eris murmured, before perking up. "The flying castle?"
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Already trying to outdo Perugius?" Roxy chuckled.
"Oh, I like the sound of that," Elinalise murmured. "How big are we talking?"
"Well," I hummed, before turning a grin on Ariel. "Go big or go home."
"American," she accused, but her lips twitched upwards. "How big?"
"I'm thinking… flying island. Go pull up a bunch of material to work with from the seabed. Dry it out properly and with a little earth magic, it'll be super fertile. Transplant and flash grow plants across it. Then build a big fuckoff castle on top of it. That, or go the Aincrad route, where the exterior is a huge floating castle and the interior is a layer cake of environments…"
"Maybe, but I prefer the more classical aesthetic of Laputa," Ariel shook her head.
"Why not…"
I sat back and watched as the girls began to plot and argue amongst themselves. Looking bored, and a bit mischievous, Elinalise met my eyes, before sinking under the water. A moment later, Kishirika blinked and raised an eyebrow as Elinalise moved her foot. Then, the horny elf's mouth descended on my cock and she set to work sucking on me and bobbing away like my dick owed her money.
Sylphie and Roxy noticed immediately, Sylphie giggling quietly and Roxy moving her hand over to grab the elf by her hair and force her head down. I managed to keep a straight face, even as Elinalise just kept going. At the five minute mark, I started to worry for her, but she never showed any signs of stopping. Eventually, with her thin fingers fondling my balls and her mouth around my cock, I gave in and let go.
Elinalise stood up immediately, her cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk. Her ass swayed as she moved through the water, back to where she'd been sitting, then swallowed audibly before sitting down. Ariel took on a very conflicted look, before with a sigh, she stood from the tub. "Alright, I'm going to bed. We can continue this later. I'll leave you to your fun."
I stood up and made my way over to her, the woman's blue eyes tracing over my body as I did. She bit her lip as I drew near, then drew her into a hug. Ariel's legs parted and she trapped my hard cock in the gap between her thighs, the top of my dick brushing against her hot, wet slit as she drooled on me. Her breasts were soft and her nipples two little hard points against my chest as I reached down and cupped her ass.
Then, I kissed her on the lips, my tongue slipping into the slightly taller young woman's mouth. Ariel moaned, her hands clutching me to her desperately, her nails digging into the flesh of my back but not breaking the skin. Her hips swished forward once and she gasped as her clit ran down my length. Breaking the kiss, she rested her forehead on mine and stared into my eyes.
"Please don't tempt me any further, Rudy. I won't be able to resist. I'm so close to giving in. I want this—I want to feel you, to make love to you, so badly it hurts. But I want to be married when we do. It means a lot to me. So please, don't make me give that up. Because I will. If you push me even just an inch more, I will."
I leaned forward and pecked her on the lips. "You want me to push you that last inch."
"Yes~," she mewled, and I felt her shaking in my arms.
"The wedding is the day after tomorrow."
"I know!" she whined, sounding like it pained her to say it.
Grinning, I squeezed her ass. "Alright. Go to bed, Ariel. Or you can stay and watch me fuck everyone in here silly, and not you. Wouldn't that just push your buttons?"
"Hng," she grunted, clutching me tighter. "Yes, but if you do that, I really won't be able to resist."
Pulling her down, I kissed her ear. For her ear alone, I whispered, "Alright, Shizuka. I won't take your wedding night from you."
"Thank you," the blonde whimpered, letting out a sigh of frustration and relief.
I let her go and turned her around, before slapping her ass hard enough to leave a hand print and sending her out of the tub. "Ahn~!" she let out an indecent sound, before turning and glaring at me. "You just had to get in a parting shot, didn't you?!"
"Yep. Now, you'd better run, unless you want to give up that special night."
"Nng! You will make this up to me!" she pouted, grabbing her towel and hurrying out of the room.
"That was cruel," Roxy shook her head as I turned back to the others.
"It's what she wants," Sylphie pointed out, before hopping out of the water and throwing herself into my arms. "Me first!" Then, she turned around in my arms and bent over, looking at the others with a grin as she eased herself back until she hilted herself on my cock. "Ah! Mmf, so full," Sylphie moaned happily. "So! I know how to guarantee conception now! Who wants to get pregnant tonight?"
I grabbed her by the hips and slowly thrust forward as several hands shot up. Sylphie bit her lip and pointed to Roxy and Lilia. "Already pregnant," she moaned out.
As I began to work myself in and out of my white haired wife, Kishirika hummed. "I wouldn't mind having another. My body is fit to bear children now and Rudy has proven himself strong…"
"Same," Elinalise agreed. "It's been a while since I had my son. I wonder how Laws is doing."
Sylphie went limp and collapsed face first in the tub, going underwater. I reacted first and jerked her back out of the water. The girl spluttered and coughed as she came back up and I sat down, pulling her into my lap in a hug, while carefully extracting the water she'd inhaled with water magic. "You're okay. Deep breaths," I soothed her, rubbing her back.
"Did you drop her?" Roxy asked, coming over and laying her hands on Sylphie as she began casting healing magic.
"No, she just fell over," I shook my head.
"It, um, it's, I'm fine," Sylphie murmured, shaking her head.
Lilia looked over to Elinalise and answered the elf's question. "The last time I saw Sylphie's father was just before the teleport disaster. Neither master Rudeus nor Sprite have mentioned finding him, and I know that even with their falling out, he would still at least make the effort to retrieve him. So it stands to reason that either Laws was teleported to a region Sprite has not yet checked, or…"
"Oh," Elinalise murmured. Then, she blinked and looked between Lilia and Sylphie. "Wait. You said her father?!"
"Yes."
Elinalise turned wide blue eyes on Sylphie, who had recovered a bit from her fall. Sending the woman a hesitant smile, Sylphie asked, "You're my grandmother?"
Elinalise's mouth fell open. "I… guess so." Quietly, she muttered, "I'm sleeping with my granddaughter's husband. I, I've had sex in front of my granddaughter. I was going to have sex with my granddaughter!"
Sylphie carefully extricated herself from my lap, grabbed Roxy, and pulled the bluenette over to take her place. Then, careful to avoid another fall, made her way over to Elinalise and pulled the elf into a hug, before kissing her cheek. "I'm so happy," Sylphie quietly said, rubbing her cheek against Elinalise's own. "I thought it would only be my mother and sister from now on."
"Sylvia and Elin. He named his daughter after me?"
"Mhmm." A mischievous smile pulled at Sylphie's lips and she moved towards Elinalise's ear. "Do you know what Eris would say about this?"
"No?" Elinalise asked, confused.
Sylphie's smile turned into a leer. "Gimme them ears."
"Huh?" the blonde blinked, before Sylphie opened her mouth and nibbled the elf's ear. "Ahn~! N-n-no, that, that's sensitive! St-stop, you, nnf, you can't~!"
"I see why it's so fun for her now," Sylphie giggled, before beginning her assault of Elinalise, who couldn't bring herself to fight back. "Rudy was right, you really are a lewd elf, grandmother!"
"Nooo!"
Roxy turned and shifted in my arms. "Well, if they're busy…"
"Yep," I confirmed, before picking her up enough to settle her on my cock. Quietly, I asked, "So, would you prefer to be called wife or mama?"
"Mm," Roxy panted quietly. "Wife now, mother after."
I settled my hand over her belly, rubbing her gently as we made love. "Soon."
I couldn't wait to see her swell up.
In the end, it was agreed that the 'Laputa' design would work just fine, with a few changes. Namely, I would be scaling it up a bit.
Between me and Ariel, we figured that the Miyazaki take on Laputa was about a mile in diameter. But like many Miyazaki works, Castle in the Sky was based on another work and then retold by Miyazaki. The original Laputa was supposed to be a huge flying castle town and the part seen in the anime was only the very top. And we didn't want to add on too much in the way of extraneous stuff and ruin the look, so it was decided to just scale the one from the movie up.
We all gathered together as a family and got to work with Sprite designing the flying castle. The exterior aesthetic was kept as true to the original as we could manage, while the interior, we changed a bit to suit our needs for essentially building up a town—living areas, small farms, water sources, training areas, storage areas, airship docking facilities, and more. The proposed finished design wound up being about three times the original size.
Then, we brought in everyone else for their opinions and expertise. A few changes were made, but eventually, that was the design we went with.
"There is one point of concern," Sauros mentioned as we all stood around a hologram of the proposed castle, set hovering over Roa for scale. "Other nations may take this as a challenge or a threat. Especially if it flies over their countries. It's an international incident waiting to happen."
"But Perugius does it all the time—" Zenith protested.
The old man nodded. "Yes. And he's Perugius. What are they going to do, tell him no?"
Phillip chose that moment to interject. "Rudeus, for all his power, is still a relative unknown even within Asura, outside of Fittoa. What's left of the royalty, nobility, and merchants at least know of the king being retired and Ariel's ascent of the throne by now, even if they weren't there to witness it personally. But from what we've seen, there is much skepticism as to Rudeus's strength even among those who were there. Perugius, by comparison, has a legend behind him. He and his own flying castle are just another fixture of the world. Something told of in stories that you might be lucky enough to see some days. It's a feat of magic most people think has been lost to the ages, because we don't see mages doing it today."
"Then along comes Rudy, with flying ships and now a flying castle," Roxy murmured, earning a nod. "They're new, prove it can be done today, and that there's someone alive who can do it."
"And when people start asking who it belongs to, they're going to discover his ties to Asura. They may suspect this is some new weapon or fortress that belongs to the kingdom—because that is the explanation that makes sense, rather than something for family," Sauros pointed out.
Sylphie hummed. "What about making it invisible?"
"No."/"Absolutely not!"
Ariel and I shared a look, then both laughed. I continued, "It defeats the purpose. It's supposed to be seen. It's as much a piece of art as it is a functional construct."
"Like one of the wonders of the world," Ariel added. "No, I would rather either deny knowledge of it, or claim responsibility fully and openly flaunt it."
The hologram of Eris leered. "So, you're saying Rudeus should just whip his huge cock out on the table and ask what the fuck they're gonna do about it? Yeah, you're gonna fit in real nice. Hehe."
Reaching up, Ariel pinched the bridge of her nose. "…I can't argue that it doesn't work."
I pulled the blonde into a hug against my side, before leaning in and kissing her neck. "You like it."
"Yes, yes. It brings out the Japanese girl in me."
"Alright. You all have fun adding things and designing rooms. I need to go sit down with Sprite and work out a way to keep the thing in the air that doesn't require me to power it directly, then apply that to our ships too, just in case."
With that, I made my way to the lab.
