Chapter 352: CH.346 Making some crop fields

Cailie’s confession of love and her wanting to take a spot in my harem wasn’t a massive surprise, considering what she said in the restaurant, but I still wasn’t expecting her to just come out and say it. I guess it really shows her gaining confidence. I just wonder how Alice will react when she gets back. In case you were wondering, she was staying over at her parents house, as she decided to visit. She was already in Burch city trying to get some leads on the illegal slave mark mission she has, so a flight home in Gradius didn’t take her too long.

Lua’s reaction to Cailie’s confession was about what I expected. She was willing to accept Cailie. Maybe it is because of how she ‘stole’ me away from Laura, or maybe it is just Lua’s nature. I don’t know. But she did still ask for … a fun night after the little discussion with Cailie, and I was more than happy to go along with her idea.

Sure I know this will lead to Alice demanding her own night when she comes back, but that is just part of the process. 

 

But that is enough about my nightly … I don’t want to call them problems, because I love having that problem… Nightly pleasures? Yes. Enough with my nightly pleasures. I have work to do, so let’s quickly head to my office so I can hear the reports before breakfast. Then, I think I have something I can have Cailie start doing on HomeBase. Or more like inside HomeBase. She might have just the skills I need for something I haven’t done yet.

At my office, a few things were waiting for me. One was from Marquess Oroco, the ruler of the city where Alice and I took down the Ursa Major. He had sent me a letter regarding materials of the Ursa he’d like to purchase. I did agree to give him first dips after all. He was after the SS-rank monster core, as well as the hide of the bear, but nothing else. That is good, because I had something I wanted to try with the bear’s claws. Just a shame I couldn’t keep the monster core, I could have used it for stuff.

I also had two tabloids from the Hero’s country. They had been sent to me by Ula with the letter exchange box I gave her. One of them had a small story about our race through the city with the greater water spirit, and the other had an announcement by the Believe Singer Agency. It announced the departure of Cailie, and offered refunds to anyone that wanted them. So maybe that dog has some semblance of business sense.

I also got a letter from Cressida, asking to come meet her later today. I quickly made a mental note of that, aka. I asked Laura to remind me in case I forgot.

I wrote a response letter to Marquess Oroco and also a quick note to Ula thanking her for the tabloids, and with that, all of my office work was done.

 

So after a quick stop to see how Wilma is doing, and remember that she evolved just recently so I wanted to see how she was fairing with that, I teleported myself into the depths of the HomeBase dungeon. … Well, actually I was on floor 8, so I wasn’t that deep.

What I was working on was a project I should have done a while ago, but now with my Aromage monsters, I felt a bit better about committing to it. And Cailie moving in most certainly didn’t hurt either. I mean, she worked in an herb store, so she has some knowledge on taking care of plants. So maybe I can let her take over this place when it is in a better state.

What I was working on was of course the crop fields of HomeBase. At first, the idea was to just have basic grains and some fruits, but now I think I can do a bit more. Things like rice and potatoes are also important. We just need the common staple foods.

But what we can also plant are herbs. Sure I didn’t get any of the seeds from the store Cailie was working at, but I do know what plants they were, so I can search the HomeBase catalog for the seeds or seeder plants.

But first, I needed to make the fields. And for that, I was going to ‘sacrifice’ floor 8 of HomeBase. It wasn’t really a sacrifice, as the floor would stay, but I was going to purge it of all of the monsters that currently habit it. Some of them would be moved to other floors, while others would have to … disappear. 

 

After clearing the floor, I turned the floor into a non-monster zone with a customized version of Ground Collapse. I had to use a custom version, because normal Ground Collapse would also prevent my avatar dolls from coming here, as they are considered monsters. But with a customized version, I was able to make one that only prevented ‘regular monsters’ from coming here. Sure it might lead to a few monsters appearing here, but as long as we collect some data, we should be fine.
