“It’s great. Although I was a little worried at first, we don’t have to worry about food here, and there are lots of people to play with,” Yuri leaned her head against Senju. “The sun is warm, and Senju is happy. This is the life we’ve always wanted.”

"That's good," Senju stroked Yuri's hair. Here, they also took off their helmets, put on other styles of clothes, and played with the children. "As long as Yuri is happy."

"Hmm, maybe it's because I've been traveling so much, but stopping here is actually a bit tiring," Yuri said drowsily, leaning against Senju. "Also, we can't just take the food here..."

“Yu,” Senju sighed softly, carefully supporting Yuri, who was sleeping against him. He also felt the warm sunlight and soon fell asleep next to Yuri.

When Senju woke up again, she found herself woken up by Chito. "Wake up, lunch is already over!"

"Hmm," Senju glanced at Yuri in her arms, who was still asleep, then looked at Chito beside her. "It's alright. As for food, I still have some here. Has Chito eaten yet?"

"Yes, she's finished eating," Chito said, then looked at Yuri with some concern. "But these past few days, Yuri seems to have become much lazier. She's not as lively as before. Is she alright?"

"It should be fine. I'll take Yuri to see a doctor in Nigoran later," Senju stroked Yuri's hair, then looked at Chito. "Speaking of which, how much have you learned, Chito?"

"Luckily, Senju taught me some letters before, so learning the language here is much easier now," Chito excitedly said, taking out his diary and showing Senju a string of letters on it.

The text reads, "This is..."

“Uh,” Senju looked at the string of characters above, completely clueless about its meaning, and could only smile wryly, “Senju learns really fast.”

"It's alright," Chito said, scratching his head sheepishly. "Nephren taught us, and I'd also like to learn about magic and stuff."

"Hmm, I've been learning magic lately too," Senju tried hard to imagine gathering magic power in her hands, but after a while, she found that nothing had changed. "Ahem, Senju, how's your learning going?"

“I’ve only just started learning, and I’m grateful for the books I found before, which helped me understand things quickly,” Chito said, taking out a book and then seemingly remembering something. “But Ishii learns much faster. He’s recently started researching airships and seems to want to build one.”

“Ishii still likes flying, but it’s good that he has found a goal to strive for,” Senju sighed, then said to Chito something, “By the way, it doesn’t seem very stable here. If anything happens, you can go through that portal and run to Hell to deal with it.”

"I understand, but it's so peaceful here, it should be fine, right?" Qianhu thought for a moment, and although he remembered it, he didn't take it seriously enough. "Oh right, I have to go study with Nephren now, see you later."

“Well, I’ll go to Nigolan first, then take Yuri to your place. She needs to learn some magic too,” Senju said, watching Chito run off into the distance. Then he whispered in Yuri’s ear, “Breakfast, lunch, dinner, roast meat, bread, canned fish.”

Yuri's ears twitched a few times, then she slowly woke up, staring blankly at Senju beside her, and said, "I really wanted to hear the sound of food just now."

“It’s just my imagination, Yu. Let’s have lunch together,” Senju said, taking out bread, grilled fish, and jam and placing them aside. The jam was from Nigoran.

Yuri was delighted to see the food. She took out a knife, fork, and water pitcher, then glanced at the sun. "Hmm, it's lunchtime. Oh, right, I don't see Chihiro and the others?"

"Chihiro went to the library to read," Senju replied from the side, then looked at Yuri, "By the way, Yuri, how have you been sleeping these past few nights? It seems like you're always sleeping."

"Mmm," Yuri mumbled through her noodles, "I slept very well last night, but I've been so free these past few days, and the weather's been nice, it would be a shame not to sleep."

“Uh,” Senju paused for a moment, then looked at Yuri, “Yuri, how much do you know about this place?”

"Hmm, I'm not quite sure," Yuri thought for a while while holding the grilled fish, and found that there was nothing she needed to pay attention to. "By the way, Chi seems to be experimenting with something mysteriously."

"They're probably practicing magic," Senju guessed after a moment's thought, but Yuri looked completely bewildered. "Can't you get magic just by fishing?"

“I’m talking about magic that can give people all sorts of abilities,” Senju explained to Yuri for a while, then watched as she started drooling. “Then, there must be magic that can create all sorts of food, right?”

“I think so,” Senju said uncertainly, then saw Yuri suddenly perk up, grab a loaf of bread and run off. “Really? I’m going to learn such convenient magic.”

Watching Yuri run off in a flash, Senju was speechless. After eating some food, he began to study the product catalog, which was like a picture book. Fortunately, this allowed Senju to get a general understanding of the uses of the products.

After selecting a batch of clothes and bedding, Senju began to choose some animals as food and raw materials. Then, Senju looked around for a while and wrote down the things that looked strange.

After finishing the preparations, Senju ran to Nigolan to inquire about the price and ask her to make the purchase.

After Thousand Hands knocked on Nigolan's door, her voice came from inside, "Come in."

Senju pushed open the door and saw Nigolan sitting at a desk, seemingly working on some documents. "Wow, that was fast. I just had Chtholly come to you. There are some things I need to tell you."

"Hmm?" Senju was surprised for a moment, then avoided mentioning that she had never met Chtholly. "What is it? I happen to have something to ask you."

“Well, regarding the plan I mentioned last time, the higher-ups have decided that our people should explore it first before proceeding with the next step,” Nigolan said, handing a stack of documents to Senju. “Is this alright?”

"..." Senju stared at the document in his hand speechlessly, then looked closely at Nigolan. "This has a big problem. I don't recognize the words on it."

Chapter 219 Vegetables and Magic

“Uh,” Nigolan seemed to be stunned for a moment, then told Senju about the contents of the above. The gist of it was that the higher-ups attached great importance to this plan, but they couldn’t spare the manpower at the moment. They hoped that after a thorough investigation, accurate information would be submitted for a judgment. The investigation would be handled by the warehouse’s secret weapons.

“It seems you didn’t report those side effects,” Senju said, realizing that Nigolan had been withholding some information. “And it seems that the higher-ups aren’t in a hurry.”

“Well, after all, they’ve lived in the air for five hundred years, so a little longer shouldn’t be a problem,” Nigolan said, reflecting on the mindset of the higher-ups, then looked seriously at the Thousand Hands. “However…”

I can't wait that long any longer; I hope you can let us investigate as soon as possible.

"Alright, but I happen to be short of some supplies, and I hope you can help me purchase them," Thousand Hands seized the opportunity to extort money, "and it would be even better if you had any special energy cores."

“Hmm, okay,” Nigolan gritted her teeth as she looked at the list, then seemed to remember something, “By the way, about the energy core, how about a pyrotechnic furnace? That’s the energy core that powers the airship.”

“Of course,” Senju said, having roughly understood from Nigoran’s words that it was likely a magical version of the engine. “However, it must be very expensive. How much money would it cost in total?”

“No problem. The higher-ups have started investing in this project. There are still many people who want to leave here and live a peaceful life,” Nigolan sneered. Thousand Hands took a few steps back. “Alright, whatever you want. Once we’re ready, we can start exploring. By the way, it would be even better if someone who can fly could participate.”

“No problem, my kids can fly,” Nigolan said proudly, then looked at the list in her hand. “Just wait for my good news, I’ll send people to collect these supplies.”

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you," Senju nodded, then pushed open the door and left. After walking for a while, she saw an angry Chtholly walking towards her from the opposite side. "Ah, I found you! Where did you go? Nigoran wants to see you!"

“Haha, I’ve already met Nigolan,” Thousand Hands chuckled at her, then pointed behind her and shouted, “Yo, William.”

"Hey, hey, hey," Chtholly hurriedly turned around to look, only to find no one behind her. Senju took the opportunity to try to slip away, but after running a few steps, he saw Chtholly suddenly appear in front of him.

"Huh, that's strange," Senju looked at Chtholly in surprise, then looked behind him and found that no one was there anymore. He could only laugh awkwardly, "Oh, you're really fast."

“Oh, really?” Chtholly sneered, clenching her fist as she looked at Senju. “William was faster, wasn’t he? He just turned around and disappeared.”

“Haha,” Senju took a few steps back, then looked behind her and his eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh, William.”

"Hmph, you still want to lie to me?" Chtholly glared angrily at Senju, ready to teach him a lesson, when she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Yo, Chtholly, Senju, what are you doing?"

“William,” Ctholly quickly turned around and saw William behind her, her words becoming stuttered. Thousand Hands took the opportunity to slip away. “She was sent by Nigoran to find me, but we’ve already finished talking, you two can chat.”

After saying that, Senju ran away, leaving the two of them standing awkwardly together.

After running outside for a while, Senju went to the kitchen to find some plant seeds. There were many vegetables there, including potatoes, pumpkins, watermelons, and beets, as well as a bunch of other vegetables. He took some and prepared to try to see if he could grow them.

Once outside, Senju saw many little girls playing there. Seeing how lively they were, Senju didn't join in. Instead, she went to the side and started cultivating the farmland.

When he finished planting the seeds, a group of little girls gathered around and watched. One of them, a girl with long, cherry-blossom-colored hair, excitedly asked, "Hey, Senju, what are you doing?"

“I’m farming,” Senju replied, then looked at her and asked, “I remember seeing you in Nigoran. What’s your name?”

"My name is Ke Rong," the cherry-colored loli said proudly, then looked at the ground where green shoots were sprouting, "Are plants growing this fast?"

“Yes, this is special magic. If I had bones, it would be even faster,” Senju said proudly, but he wasn’t planning to use the bone powder on his body for the time being.

“As for bones, I know where to find them,” Ke Rong said excitedly, raising her hand. “There are leftover wolf and bear bones over there.”

"Are there bones here too? But where do they come from?" Thousand Hands followed Ke Rong toward the forest and heard her answer, "When Nigolan is unhappy, she goes to the mountains over there to fight wolves and bears, and then everyone gets meat to eat, but it doesn't taste very good."

"Uh," Senju was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected Nigoran to be a humanoid bear. He must never make her angry in the future.

After walking for a while, Senju saw a pile of garbage and bones, with traces of animals rummaging through them. Senju went up and dug out the bones, then turned them into bone powder. "That should be enough. Ke Rong, let's go back."

"Hmm," Ke Rong happily led the way, while Qian Shou cautiously looked around at the surrounding woods. However, after a while, when no wild animals appeared, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon arriving at the farmland, the little girls around were still waiting and playing. Seeing the two return, they came over. Senju stood in the farmland, holding up the bone powder, and said, "Look, a miracle is about to happen."

"Oh!" A group of little girls watched expectantly. With a scattering of the thousand hands, the potatoes ripened. With another scattering, the beets ripened. After a while, all the vegetables in the field were ripe, and the little girls around clapped their hands happily.

However, Senju stared blankly at the pumpkin and watermelon for a while, but neither of them were ripe, so Senju could only wait on the side.

"Oh, right, Ke Rong, take these vegetables to the kitchen," Qian Shou said.

He gave the order to the excited little girl, Ke Rong, who immediately ran over excitedly, "Yes!"

After saying that, he led a group of friends to harvest the vegetables in the field and then sent them to the kitchen. Senju watched over the watermelons and pumpkins on the side. After they finished collecting the vegetables, Senju saw the pumpkins emerge from the ground. He was relieved and collected the square pumpkins. After a while, the watermelons were ripe.

Senju then noticed that the two types of melons only appeared when there was an open space nearby. After collecting the watermelons, Senju looked at the little girls around her and finally decided to send them to the kitchen so that the staff there could arrange when they would eat them. As for how they would deal with the square watermelons, Senju didn't care.

Chapter 220 Girl and Lolicon

Then, Senju planted pumpkins and watermelons in the field and went to the side to practice magic. After a while, Ke Rong also ran over. After seeing what Senju was doing, she proudly gave him instructions. Only then did Senju realize that Ke Rong also knew a lot of magic.

Senju, ashamed of losing to the little girl, listened attentively to Ke Rong's teachings until dinner time, when Ke Rong's desire to teach was finally satisfied. Senju also felt that she had learned a lot, and then everyone went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, they saw that in addition to the usual food, each table also had a slice of watermelon. The girls excitedly shouted, while William looked at the watermelon, seemingly thinking of something yet also not quite.

After finishing his meal, Senju returned to his room to continue practicing. After a while, he finally managed to condense a faint glow on his fingers, which could only be barely seen in the dark. But Senju was already very excited; maybe he was a genius.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw William still helping the little girls everywhere. Although they were no longer very scared, they would still run away when they saw William coming. Thousand Hands could only pat his shoulder helplessly, hoping that he would never find a way.

After walking in the corridor for a while, Senju ran into Chito and the others. Hearing that they were going to air out their quilts today, Senju went back to her room and took the bedding from her room to the rooftop.

When he arrived up there, Chito, Chtholly, and Nigoran had already started hanging some clothes and blankets out to dry. Chito found a spot and started taking out blankets to air them out.

After a while, William came up too. He confided his troubles to Nigolan, wondering why all the cute little girls were wary of him.

“The kids here aren’t used to interacting with mature men, so they don’t know how to talk to you,” Nigolan explained helplessly to William.

“I know all that,” William said, though his expression was still not good. “But it’s been several days and the children still look like they’re scared of me. It’s really frustrating.”

“Well, not every man is liked by children,” Senju said, pretending to comfort him. William looked at Senju speechlessly. “But this is really troubling me.”

“I see,” the blankets drying nearby were lifted, and two girls carrying baskets of clothes walked over. One of the girls spoke; she had curly orange hair that looked like cat ears, and a fearless smile on her face. “So, Second-Class Technician William is a lolicon?”

Then Nephren followed, and Senju noticed that she was very small. Unlike her white hair, her eyes were gray, and her expression was the same as Ishii's. At least Senju had never seen Nephren smile.

“I like children,” William proudly proclaimed to the other person. Senju quickly took a few steps to the side in disgust. The cat-eared girl rushed over excitedly, “Oh, really? Then, which child is your favorite type?”

“Noisy and talkative me, Aetheria,” the cat-eared girl pointed to herself, then to Nephren following behind, “I do what I want, little Nephren.”

However, Nephren remained expressionless. Finally, Athena excitedly announced, "Lastly, our shop highly recommends... the taciturn blue-haired..."

“Ugh,” Ctholly looked at Esther with dissatisfaction, and William added from the side, “Ctholly, I know.”

As William spoke, Chtholly glanced at him shyly, which surprised Athena, who was standing to the side. "Oh my, when did you meet? You made a move so quickly. What's your relationship now?"

Aiseya watched Chtholly with great interest, while Chtholly stood up, embarrassed and angry. "Stop talking, Aiseya."

“Okay, I won’t say anymore,” Asya stopped teasing Chtholly, then saw Senju. “Oh my, isn’t this Second-Class Technician Senju? I heard you’re Senju’s husband, is that true?”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Senju didn’t deny it. Asya circled around him, then slapped her head in annoyance. “Oh dear, I didn’t expect all the technicians here to be lolicon. By the way, can I ask about your hobbies?”
