Claire crosses her legs while looking very imposing. Asha snaps back to reality and confronts Claire.

"What magic illusion did you use?" (Asha) She pointed her cutlass at Claire.

"It's one of my Skills, Materialize. I can turn any none live object into whatever I want and much as I want." (Claire) She said while remaining unfazed.

When the resistance heard what Claire said, they began looking at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they all thought the same thing.

("If she was on our, we don't need to pirate anymore and focus on saving our people from the evil Church.") (Resistance members)

"Oh yeah. Tell us why should we trust you!? You could trick us and lead those bastards right here." (Asha)

"You don't. All you need to know is that I see the desperate resistance that needs funding, and I'm here to hire you all. And, of course, The Church is not my ally. I don't care if you believe me or not. So sit down and talk business. I don't have all day." (Claire) She tabs the diamond table as if she owns the place.

Asha wants to slap this arrogant bitch in front of her, but her subordinate stop her.

"Boss, let's hear her out. We really need her funding." (Resistance member 1)

"Yeah, Raiding the merchant ship is getting worse, and our last raid lasts us about a week." (Resistance member 2) Asha clutches her fists. She knows that they are that the resistance is on the verge of disbanding. And This outsider is their chance to save them, but She absolutely hates Claire's gut.

"...Fine." (Asha) she sits across the table from Claire. "What do you want from us?" (Asha) She angrily asks while avoiding eye contact. Claire finally smiles.

"I want all of you to work for me." (Claire)

"Ok! That's it!" (Asha) She quickly got up and was about to attack Claire, but her subordinate stopped her again.

"Boss, let her finish." (Resistance member 2) She Asha's arm and pulled her down.

"I want all of you to work for me. But!........right now, hiring you all in the current state is a waste of time. So, I will help you get back on your feet and become more formidable than before. And that time, you all would be instrumental." (Claire)

"Ha! What would a little girl like you can do!?" (Asha) She laughs.

"Well....A lot of things, actually. Let me show you one of them." (Claire) She took a baseball-sized crystal ball out of her pocket. Then she put her hand through the crystal, which shocked everyone. And finally, she pulled a humanoid robot out, which surprised everyone even more.

"WW What is that thing!?" (Asha) She points her cutlass at it.

"A robot, but in this world, the term would be a mechanical doll. They are strong, reliable, and don't need any rest. The perfect soldier. Right now, I have three of them at the moment, and I plan to mass produce them." (Claire) Everyone gathered around to take a closer look at the robot, amazed at how tough and bulky it looked.

"Did you make this miss ummmm…" (Resistance member 3)

"Oh, yes, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself. My Name is Claire Calamity. I'm a master's in robotics and engineering, but recently, I discovered that I excel in the biology field much more than technology science."(Claire)

"I see…...your world must be very advanced." (Resistance member 3)

"Well....yes and no. So many aliens have invaded my world and left their tech behind…..... Anyway, my point here is I will invest all of my resources in your organization, and in return, I'll be relying on your organization in the future. So what do you say? Do we have a deal?" (Claire) The Resistance members awkwardly look at each other.

"Ummm....Can we have a quick meeting?" (Resistance member 1)

"Sure." (Claire) Everyone quickly exits the room while Claire sits at the diamond table. As the door closed, she heard Asha scream, "ABOUSLOUTLY NO!!" and she didn't hear anything else after that. While she was waiting, she was building more robots, and thanks to her Skill, Claire could get any material she wanted.

About two hours later, the door opened, and the Resistance members, but there were more of them this time than before. When they entered the room, they were shocked to see the whole cave room wall become gold and the diamond table. Then an older woman steps forward and locks eyes with Claire.

"Miss Claire, before we accept your deal, we want to ask you a question." (Resistance member 10)

"Sure, go ahead." (Claire) She put down her tools on the table.

"What you think of the Church?" (Resistance member 10)

"...….They are the plague of humanity. They use their God to justify all of their action without remorse." (Claire)

"Great. We accept your deal." (Resistance member 10) She smiles and extends her hand toward Claire.

"I'm Claire. Nice to meet you." (Claire) She went to shake her hand.

"Vicky, the former leader of the group." (Vicky)

"Oh, ok." (Claire)

"Sorry about my hot head of a granddaughter. She has a temper, but deep down. She is a sweet girl." (Vicky)

"It's ok. First, let's get to business. You can take the table to sell in pieces to get the funds you all need." (Claire) She orders one of the robots to destroy the diamond table.

"But isn't it better to sell the whole table?" (Resistance member 5)

"The Chuch know my Skill. If we sell them the whole table, there is a chance it will trace back to me." (Claire)

"I see...." (Resistance member 5)

Next, Claire took out a bunch of items from her crystal ball, mainly food and medicine.

"Here, this should last for three weeks until you have all the diamonds. Take it." (Claire) She gestures to create full of food and med supplies. Everyone was stunned because Claire suddenly took a large of boxes out of the crystal ball.

"Mm, you have my thanks, Claire. You, you, you and you. Put the supply into storage, and you go get whiney the brat." (Vicky)

"No need. I'm here, grandma." (Asha) She walks back in with an angry expression. "Let me tell you this: I still don't trust you, and I will stick close to you so you don't do anything stupid." (Asha)

"That's fine by me. Now, is there any unused space in this hideout? I need to set up my workshop. The more I build these robots, the quicker I can help you all." (Claire) She packs everything and puts the half-finished robot and her tools in the crystal ball.

"I'll show you the way." (Asha) Claire nods and follows Asha. As she was about to exit the room, Claire remembered something.

"Oh! Right, I forgot to give you all the current information about the church." (Claire) Then, she shares some of her information with them and leaves a part of Kana's proxies out.

"Thank you so much for sharing your information with us. To be true, we have been struggling for years. Half of our group left us because of our incompetence. We just want to live a peaceful life, not be judged because we have extra sexual organs." (Vicky)

"Wait, all of you are futanari?" (Claire)

"Yes, most of us are. You are also one of us." (Vicky) She looks confused.

"What I mean, is he a futanari?" (Claire) She is pointing to a buff middleman. The middle-aged man points at himself with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, I have a penis and vagina." (Resistance member 8) He nodded. Claire scans him with her eyes. No matter how she looks at him, she can't picture him as futanari.

("Claire-san, Did you think only women are futanari?") (Clara)

("How should I know that there are male futanari as well.") (Claire)

"Ahh, I'm sorry for my rude reaction. Futanari are extremely rare in my world. Knowing all of you here are futanari surprises me." (Claire)

"It's ok; we understand. Let us work together to get rid of the plague." (Vicky) Claire smiled and nodded, and then she continued to follow Asha.

"Alright, call the other. We have a lot of work to do!" (Vicky)

"Yes, ma'am!!" (everyone) They quickly scatter to their duty.

Day 16

3:45 PM

Tony's Tower

Tony had been asleep ever since last night's activity. Tony should have been waking up a long time ago, but Ashia put him to full rest because Tony had been getting less sleep recently.

"Mmmmmmmm....Yawwwnnnnnnnnnnn*" Tony stretched his arms and blinked sleepy eyes. Tony expected to see his beautiful Elf princess and Tenko beastkin sleeping next to him. But to see an adorable, chubby two-year-old baby sleep peacefully with her tiny mouth open, he can also see her drooling. Tony warmly smiled at her and wiped the warm drool off her face. Then he realized something.

"Wait? Where is Ava Kaguya?"

("Ava-sama and Kaguya are currently working at the Gand Seaport City.") (Aisha)

"Wait...….what time is now?"

("3:48 PM") (Aisha)

"Wowww, I slept that long, huh? But, Now I think about it, I'm surprisingly refreshing." Tony looked around and saw that all of Esta's friends were also sleeping on his bed. He guessed that these children were taking an afternoon nap here. He quickly checked for his clothes because he had slept naked last night, but surprisingly he had his clothes on.

("Ava-sama and Kaguya-sama had cleaned and dressed you this morning before they went to work.") (Aisha)

"Oh, good." He sighs in relief. Then he saw one of the maid babysitters sitting in the corner of the room. The maid stood up and gave him a bow. "Thank you for your hard work. Take a break. I'll take care of the little one for now."

"Thank you so much, Tony-sama." (Maid) She happily smiled, bowed again and left the room.

"Mmmmmuuummmmmm...….." (Esta) She rubs her eyes with her chubby hands.

"Mmmm.....Good morning." (Esta) She looks at Tony with her sleepy eyes. Tony smiled at her and gently picked her up, and her in his arm while lovingly kissing her irresistible chubby cheek.

"Ello, Big Brother~!!" (Esta) She happily smiles and giggles.

"Good Evening to you too, pumpkin. Did you have a nice dream?"

"Mm~! Esta, dream of eating a giant ice cream! It was very, very, very big!!" (Esta) She extended her arms wide at the same other children starting to wake up.

"Good evening, lord Tony~." (Lala) She bowed slightly, and other children made the same gesture. Tony was stunned to see a two-year-old child behave like this. He thought they must be taught like this because she and the others were children of a Noble.

"Don't worry about the etiquette. Just call me big brother Tony." He smiles.

"Ok. Big brother Tony~!" (Lala) Her voice sounds so sweet Tony could feel his heart melting.

"Big brother Tony~!" Big brother Tony~!" Big brother Tony~!" (All Children) He can see why all mothers would call their child their sweet angel and not see their wrongdoing because they were blind to their cuteness.

GOWWWWLLLLLLL* Tony heard Esta's chubby tummy cry.

"Now then, why don't we go have dinner."

"Yayyyyyyy~!!" (All Children) Tony put Esta down and led the other children to the kitchen. As everyone in the kitchen, Tony sits the children on the baby chair on the kitchen counter so he can put on a cooking show for the children.

Today's menu is Omurice. Tony prepares the ingredients and cooks while the children happily kick their legs and watch Tony stir-flipping rice. A few minutes later, finish the baby's portion of Omurice. At the same time, the maids returned from their break and helped feed the children; otherwise, it would get very messy, like the last pasta meal.

"Mmmm~! Yummy~!!!" (Esta) She happily chews while rapidly kicking her legs.

"Big brother, Tony's cooking is amazing~!!" (Aki)

"Yummmy~!!" (Lala)

"You're welcome." He smiles and pats the children's heads. Next, the children had their favourite dessert, and then everyone went to play and watch a movie. After that, he takes them to a bath and tacks them in for the night.

"Big brother, would you play with us again~?" (Esta) She asks while giving puppy dogs eyes, which are 1000000% effective.

"Yes, tomorrow, let's play again." He gently pats her head.

"Yay~! I love you big brother!!~." (Esta)

"Awww, I love you too, pumpkin."

"Good night, big brother. Yawwnnn*" (Esta). She closes her eyes while hugging Mr Bunny. Tony gently kisses her forehead and heads toward the exit.

"Good night, everyone!" He turns off the light.

"Good night~!!" (All Children)

Tony slowly made his way to the living room while checking all his project statuses. The one closest to completion is Project Frontier, a giant spaceport for mass-constructing mega-size spaceships.

"Mmm….next is…..Actually, let's get something to eat first." He changes direction to the kitchen instead. Then, he thinks deeply about what he is in the mood for. "Alight, ramen it is." He prepares the ingredients to cook Katsudo ramen. First, he deep-fired the breaded pork chop. Second, he works on the curry broth by adding a few spices that Elves have used to see if it could improve his recipe. Finally, his favourite part is making the best chewy and smooth, fresh egg noodles. Back in his world, Tony would spend months trying to revolutionize the art of the noodle craft. To this day, he has never reached perfection because Tony thinks perfection is limited, but evolution has no limits.

As Tony was boiling the noodle, suddenly, he felt someone grabs his ass.

"Wha-" When turning around,  Tony's face was instantly buried in soft heavenly mount. Then he looked to see who it was, and it was his favourite dark elf.

"What are you doing?" (Lenna) She wears a short black tank top and black sports shorts, which expose a lot of skin, and Tony can't help but admire her sexy body.

"Lenna-san. When did you get back?"

"Just now. More importantly, what are you making?" (Lenna)

"Oh, it's called Ramen. Would you like to try it?" She nods and opens her mouth. Tony's mind paused for a bit and then realized she wanted him to feed her. Tony takes a spoon filled with a curry broth and feeds her.

"Mm, it's good. I assume that it is not just the soup that you called Ramen, right?" (Lenna)

"That right. Why don't you sit here at the counter, and I will prepare for you." She nods and sits on the counter, waiting with anticipation. Tony quickly and masterfully finishes the Katsu ramen and serves it to her.

"Katsu ramen is serves mi lady." Tony smiles at her.

"Tony, how many times do I have to tell you I'm a man, not a woman." (Lenna)

"But, you all look like a beautiful woman. I can't help it." He shrugs.

"Sigh...…you humans are weird. Anyway, thank you for the meal." (Lenna) She picked up her fork, dipped the deep-fried breaded pork chop into the curry broth, and took a bite.

"Mmmmm~. It is so good~!" (Lenna) She continues eating it.

"I'm glad." Tony came and sat next to her with his own Katsu curry ramen. Lenna noticed that Tony was using only two sticks, not a spoon or fork.

"Hey, why are you using those instead of a fork?" (Lenna)

"Oh, this? A true Weebs always use chopsticks when eating ramen." He says it proudly

"What a Weeb?" (Lenna)

"A very, very, very deep culture of my world."

"Oh, ok." (Lenna) Tony gives her a serious look. Seeing Tony's eyes, Lenna drops the topic and continues enjoying her Ramen even though Tony is just being really dumb.

A few minutes later, both finish their meal.

"Mmmmmm!! That was good! What do you think, Lenna-san?"

"Yes, it was delicious." (Lenna) She nods.

"That's great! Let me take the bowl back."

"Tony, wait. I have something to tell you." (Lenna)

"Hmm? What is it?"

".....Sigh...…..Tony, I'm in love with you. I want to be part of your harem." (Lenna)
