When he finished telling everything he had to tell to Mikan, he did the same with Lala who said: "So... Can I build a house here?"
Rito answered without thinking: "Feel free."
Lala licked her lips in an innocent manner, seeming very excited: "Aiyo! Any requests about your rooms?"
"You intend to make rooms for us too?" Mikan asked.
Lala replied: "Of course. After all, it's going to be our house in this place, right?"
Seeing Lala's simplistic and even innocent look, Mikan smiled: "I don't have any specific preference."
"Okay, I'll make an amazing room for Mikan." Lala looks at Rito: "Also for Rito. And... Asia too?"
The two look at him.
He sighed: "Okay, I'll talk to her about the Garden of Eden, but let's keep the orbs a secret for now, understood?"
The two girls got excited: "Yes~!"
'Looks like Asia already managed to win over these two...' Rito shook his head and smiled.
...
"Garden of Eden?"
Asia after learning about the dimension, looked around with a dreamy look.
"Yes." He said: "I gave it this name because I intend to create all kinds of animals, plants, trees etc. In other words, a place that I can call paradise."
"Is it really okay to tell me and show me this place?" Asia started to worry, but couldn't hide from her eyes the admiration and eagerness she began to feel for that place.
"Yes, it is." He answered: "We decided to believe and trust you."
Upon hearing that, Asia bit her lower lip.
It seems she started to truly understand the weight that this secret has and even so, they believed in her.
For someone who was betrayed by the closest people, it was unreal that these people she met less than a month ago already placed so much trust in her.
She felt moved.
With her hands together in a prayer sign, she said moved: "Thank you Rito, thank you Lala and Mikan for trusting me so much!"
"Hahaha." Lala simply laughed casually.
Mikan was a bit more emotional, saying something like "You're family now" and hugged her.
Leaving them to get along, Rito started running with his body enveloped in wind, gaining distance while using weights on his feet and hands.
In his mind, he used the remaining wind divine art orbs and the purple ones to learn faster.
The speed at which he was able to digest the wind divine art increased when he used a purple orb from the second map.
In less than an hour, he had successfully used 94 wind divine art orbs and stopped.
'I reached the limit of these orbs...'
Of course, the limit was purely up to the limit of the green wolves' wind manipulation knowledge.
There's no way he can expect to gain knowledge that never existed in the first place.
'With this I still have two hundred and eight wind divine art orbs left...'
Another thing: 'Just as I imagined, training in this dimension is much more effective!'
And for obvious reasons. Having purer air was a huge advantage for training without being affected by pollution in the process. Not only was he not affected, but just by breathing he was already benefiting.
This becomes clear to him after he saw Asia sweat and a rotten smell come out of her.
Not only her, even Mikan, although his little sister was in better condition from eating food every day with red orb crumbs.
'Just as I imagined, if I start raising animals in this dimension...' He wiped the drool: 'They will become delicacies!'
It seems he should put the plan to create animals into practice as soon as possible...
'When I have time, I'll ask Lala to take me traveling through the Milky Way to find some exotic animals...'
Interrupting the beautiful dream he was having, he saw Asia come out with Mikan through the wardrobe door.
Meanwhile, Lala seemed to be halfway through building the 'house'. What was actually a futuristic style mansion.
'As expected from the Deviluke princess... What is a common house for her is an incredible mansion for others.' Rito smiled a little, soon returned to training. This time, using the fire divine art orbs from the lionesses.
Soon, his body was enveloped in flames.
Like a human torch, he started running again.
His flame control became high enough for him to choose what burned, so even his clothes, or even the flame he stepped on was not reduced to ashes.
...
Using the last fire divine art orbs that belonged to the lionesses, the flames pulsed in his right hand.
In addition to the increase in flame control, his power rose to level 5 of the Abstruse State.
It was sad to think that he could improve even more if he had more crystal orbs from the lions' divine art, but... He still possessed the flames that burned in the three-dimensional space in his mind.
'It's time to use this little beauty...'
The fire knowledge possessed in these flames was gigantic compared to the fire divine art crystal orbs he had used so far. Even 'Mufasa's' doesn't compare to this.
In addition to containing the flame knowledge, he also felt the knowledge of a flame-derived skill, it was the fire armor that he copied from the lion, but he felt it was still not complete.
He would only feel it complete when he manages to use it perfectly with hands transformed into blades. Just imagining it, he felt good.
In fact, he even imagined the fallen angel wings he copied being enveloped in a flame armor... How cool would that be, right?
But, honestly? What really mattered was the power. After all, if it was just an aesthetic issue... it would be useless.
That's why he aimed for the best of both worlds: to be powerful and have a cool appearance.
While Rito trained, his knowledge regarding flames improved.
"This..."
For a brief moment, while Rito ran in flames, he felt one with the flames.
He stopped and the flames on his body expanded like a domain.
A dome of flames surrounded him.
That space became his domain. The flames danced in the air as if they had a life of their own.
Some began to take the form of small animals, fish, rabbits, birds...
But, suddenly, everything cracked.
The violent sound of flames burning echoed and became aggressive against Rito.
His mind goes a thousand per hour and he uses what was left of the white thread, together with a purple orb that belonged to the sheep from the second map.
The previously aggressive flames become docile again.
Pulling the flames to him, Rito exited the flame mode and gave a sigh of relief.
'That was risky...' He thought.
But then he caught himself wondering: 'What just happened... Was that some kind of domain expansion?'
It was then that he noticed that those flames in the three-dimensional space were not as simple as he imagined them to be.
