The Third Wheel and a New Home (4,000 characters, please subscribe) (continued)
They weren't worried about their safety at all. Yase Motoki was a given, and Akatsuki Kojo Sentouki Yuma, protecting him.
Only Aiba Asagi, who is powerless to even kill a chicken, is now secretly protected by many Attack Mage hired by the Aiba family.
Even if they can't defeat him, they can buy a minute or two, giving Aiba Asagi time to ask William for help.
The reason why meals sometimes take a long time is because people chat while eating; if they weren't chatting, the meals would be quite quick.
Time passed little by little, and lunch and afternoon classes quickly came to an end.
However, he didn't have many classes in the afternoon; it was just a short one-hour session.
Normally, he would have gone straight home by now, since the school is essentially his, and he can do whatever he wants with it.
But today he was waiting for Kishiryu Yukina and her master Yuantangyuan to come and visit, so he simply waited a bit and went back with the girls.
However, he wasn't simply sleeping while lying in his office.
A black magic circle unfolded before their eyes, and a beautiful woman dressed in a twelve-layered palace gown appeared from within it.
"You've come, A-Ye!"
With a casual wave of her hand at the palace-dressed beauty, Sentouki Aya immediately walked behind William, extended her slender, white fingers, and gently massaged William's temples.
"Yes, Lord William, the reconstruction plan for 'Azure Paradise' is progressing very smoothly."
Sentouki Aya's technique was extremely skillful. Even though he had only just started, he already felt waves of drowsiness creeping over him.
Seeing William's relieved expression, Sentouki Aya also smiled happily.
She specifically learned massage skills and bedroom techniques in order to make William more comfortable.
"What stage of progress has been reached so far?"
"The project is 95% complete; it's now in its final stages, and you, Lord William, will be able to move in soon."
The reconstruction plan for "Azure Paradise" was something that had been proposed even before William went into seclusion.
The weather and environment on Island of Gen'ei were extremely harsh because, in order to save money, resin and other building materials were used.
However, this also resulted in Island of Gen'ei having extremely poor heat dissipation, making the temperature of this artificial island always like a scorching furnace.
Since he has already decided to live on this island, he certainly won't live in such a uncomfortable environment.
Rebuilding Island of Gen'ei entirely was a bit far-fetched, so when he was fighting the Third Progenitor, the "Azure Paradise," which had been in a state of near ruin, came into his view.
Of course, it's absolutely impossible for this island to be built like Island of Gen'ei, using resin as a building material.
The island was created using pure soil and sand with a small amount of resin and metal, and then fixed in place by magic.
The area has also increased by about half again compared to before.
There was no need to worry about funding, as all the funds were provided by capitalists who volunteered on Island of Gen'ei.
After all, in their view, spending money to please their future master was already the most appropriate thing to do.
Even with ample funding and current technological capabilities, it still took a full four years to complete, demonstrating just how difficult it was.
"Oh? How's the capture of all the magical beasts in the world that I requested coming along?"
He was actually more concerned about this than how the island was being developed; he didn't plan to let the residents come up to visit.
So he specifically instructed his subordinates to find various magical beasts whose appearances conformed to human aesthetic standards and raise them on the island.
As for personality, that doesn't matter. He believes that no matter how ferocious a magical beast is, it will become as obedient as a dog in his hands, only wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
"Yes, the monsters have been delivered in batches, and the white sand beach you requested was also airlifted from Whitehaven Beach in Australia."
Sentouki Aya spoke, William's lips twitched.
Since he sent Sentouki Aya to take over the construction of "Azure Paradise", all kinds of building materials have been upgraded to the highest level by Sentouki Aya.
Of course, construction costs have also been driven up without any limit.
The initial budget was $200 billion, but it has now reached $350 billion, much to the chagrin of the businessmen who provided the voluntary sponsorship. Fortunately, it is finally coming to an end.
"Alright, you don't need to press anymore. You can go back to doing the finishing touches!"
"I can't wait to move in; I've really had enough of the temperature on this island."
He reached out and gently squeezed Sentouki Aya's soft hand twice.
"Yes, I understand."
"I will make sure those lazy fellows work properly. They've kept you waiting for so long; their sins are countless."
A cold glint flashed in Sentouki Aya's beautiful eyes, and she disappeared silently behind William.
This is the power of Sentouki Aya, known as the "Secretary Witch." She can use all kinds of magic, and even the most difficult spatial and temporal magic, she can still use them to a basic degree.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A soft knock on the door woke William from his dozing.
"Come in!"
"Sorry to bother you."
In the direction of the office door, a middle school girl carrying a guitar case was nervously gripping the strap of the case.
Why is Kishiryu Yukina so nervous?
"Isn't that a transfer student from the junior high school?"
"Is that the transfer student who's called the princess?"
"It's so beautiful..."
"So cute..."
"No wonder those junior high boys were so excited."
At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of high school boys and girls.
There was no other way; since William's office had already been exposed, pretty female students would often come and block the door.
Over time, because William's place was always a gathering place for many beautiful female students, many restless male students would also frequently come here to congregate.
The boys were getting excited because of the pretty girls, and naturally, different voices were also heard from the girls' group.
