Mog, You Can Tell Me About That Power Now, Right?! / Have They Recently Gained Any New Companions?

But with so many people, it would obviously be cramped and inconvenient.

It would be better for each person to have a simple little house out in the garbage heap ruins.

At the very least, it would ensure everyone had their own private space.

But when it came to the most crucial issue of resources, there was absolutely nothing to worry about with Mog around.

Mog, You Can Tell Me About That Power Now, Right?!

"As for food, you don't need to worry about that. Leave it to Mog."

Uvogin was still as carefree as ever, not taking it to heart at all.

Nobunaga swallowed the last bite of fried rice.

Well, someone who could casually produce such strange fruit lunch boxes and give away such fragrant dishes as gifts...

Nobunaga was fairly willing to believe that this person named Mog, whom he had just met, could solve the food problem.

But as for housing space... they couldn't possibly expand the place, could they?

Not to mention whether they had the ability or skills to do so, even if they really did expand it...

Those Meteor City bastards eyeing them greedily would never let them off.

These children could band together, but couldn't the others do the same?

Once they finished renovating and expanding the house, they would probably be the first to suffer, with someone else reaping the benefits of their work~~~

"Housing space isn't a problem either."

Phinks was even more confident than Mog himself.

Having witnessed Mog's miracles firsthand and benefited from them himself, he now had a somewhat blind trust in Mog!

Still not a problem?

Nobunaga remained skeptical as he turned to look at Mog again.

Then he saw Mog casually take out the [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box].

Immediately afterward, Nobunaga wore the same dumbfounded expression Uvogin and Phinks had shown earlier.

"It really did expand the space..."

Nobunaga stared at the staircase that had suddenly appeared in the corner by the wall, as well as the upper space connected to it, and muttered.

And the key was that it wasn't just one floor.

"There are six of us here, so I added five extra floors."

As Mog spoke, he added five more building blocks inside.

"I want the top floor!!"

Before Mog could even start assigning floors, Uvogin directly claimed his own.

"I'm staying at the very top!!"

No one competed with him.

Even though Phinks was slightly annoyed by the way Uvogin had put it.

Once he considered that getting to the top meant climbing six flights of stairs, he lost interest.

Well, although the [Four-Dimensional Space Expansion Box] could add floors, it did not come with an elevator.

The only way up was by climbing the stairs, which counted as a minor drawback.

Just like in the original world of Doraemon, when Nobita raised his room dozens of floors in one go.

But the toilet remained on the first floor, forcing him to keep climbing down without ever reaching the bottom.

In the end, he couldn't hold it in halfway down and wet his pants.

"Then I'll take the fifth floor."

Machi, who likewise disliked staying down below because it made her feel unsafe, spoke calmly.

Phinks and Feitan had no objections. Neither of them wanted to be next to Uvogin.

Machi happened to provide a buffer between them.

"Then give me the fourth floor."

Mog said with a smile.

This middle position suited him perfectly—not too high, not too low.

"Then I'll take the third floor."

"The second floor is mine, then."

Phinks and Feitan quickly divided up the remaining two floors.

Leaving Nobunaga, who had not even had a chance to speak, opening his mouth slightly.

They seemed to have~~~ not considered my opinion.

"What opinion do you need?"

Uvogin casually patted him on the shoulder. "This is your home to begin with."

"The first floor is yours. No one's going to fight you for it!!"

Nobunaga: "..."

Was there any chance that I also wanted to live on a higher floor?

"Uvogin's right. This was Nobunaga's home to begin with."

Machi also spoke up for once. "Everyone outside knows that you live here."

"So if you stay on the first floor, you can deal with anyone who comes knocking at any time. That'll reduce suspicion as much as possible."

Well, not avoid it—reduce it.

After all, so many of them were crammed into Nobunaga's house.

Given enough time, naturally some observant people would notice.

Since Machi had put it that way, Nobunaga could only agree with a pained expression for the sake of safety.

He actually wanted to live on a higher floor too, so he could look at the scenery outside.

But fortunately, after Uvogin and the others moved in, it was not only that they could band together and help one another.

At the very least, with Mog around, he would no longer lack food in his daily life.

At that thought, Nobunaga subconsciously smacked his lips.

Well, it did not need to be anything fancy. Something like the fried rice Mog had given him as a gift when he opened the door for them earlier would be enough.

Afterward, the others secretly moved everything from their original homes over to Nobunaga's place.

Uvogin and Phinks did not have much, but Feitan actually brought over the dead tree from his home.

Their food still had to rely on it.

"Alright, now we have the most basic level of security..."

After everything had been settled, Phinks rubbed his hands together and looked at Mog expectantly.

"So now, Mog, you can tell me about that power, right?!"

That power?!!

Nobunaga's heart stirred at those words. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have perhaps, maybe... forgotten to ask Mog about this miraculous ability of his~

Well, Enhancement Type users were like that~~~

"This~~~"

Mog raised his head and looked at Phinks's eager expression, Feitan's leaning body, and Machi's calm gaze.

Then there was Uvogin, pretending not to care while pricking up his ears, his curious gaze fixed on him as well.

Only then did a smile slowly spread across Mog's lips.

"Sure."

Have They Recently Gained Any New Companions?

While Mog explained this power to Phinks and the others.

On the other side, Chrollo had not stopped making moves either.

Although Mog's miraculous display and the unimaginable scenes he had shown made him extremely curious.

Chrollo was also clear-headed enough to know that rashly approaching them without understanding anything.

Would very easily place himself in danger.

So he decided to see whether he could learn more about Mog's group.

And among the children who knew Uvogin, Machi, Phinks, Feitan, and the others, and whom he happened to know himself...

"Ooh, is this a Cleaning Squad videotape?!"

With two upward ponytails split to either side of her head, an old yet clean heart-shaped little bag hanging from her waist.

Sarasa, a little girl in a simple, plain dress, had been invited by Pakunoda to the Church screening room.

When she saw the images playing on the television, she could not help becoming extremely excited.

"I heard from Paku that, Chrollo, you wanted to dub a Cleaning Squad videotape and show it to all the children in Meteor City..."

Sarasa enthusiastically patted her chest. "After I heard about it from Paku, I was more than happy to help you out!!"

"Then I'll be counting on you, Sarasa."

A clear, innocent smile remained on Chrollo's young face.

Then he turned to the girl beside him, who was slightly taller, constantly held a book in her hands, and wore hair ornaments resembling little rabbit ears.

"Sorry for the trouble, Shira."

"You're welcome~~~"
