The random characters in the dating sim world are a bit bad.

"I see. Really. Anyway, thank you so much, Livia, for letting me try these delicious snacks. Everyone always tells me that these are not things I should eat."

Angelica stared blankly at the crepe in her hand, her eyes glistening with tears that seemed ready to fall at any moment.

"Hmm~ no, not at all. We're friends, Angela. Leon said that friends should share their favorite foods. It's nothing."

Olivia hugged Angelica, who was about to cry, and gently comforted her.

Leon watched this scene with immense envy, and he also wanted to experience what it felt like to be hugged by Olivia.

"Livia, um... um, can I be hugged by you like this too?"

Lyon spoke somewhat awkwardly, his face full of shyness, without any embarrassment.

"Leon~"

“Let’s go, Livia. Leon is always trying to take advantage of us.”

Angelica took Olivia's hand and ran towards the sunset glow, like a loving couple disregarding worldly opinions, their surroundings radiating a halo of light.

"Wait! Something's not right! Luciano, calculate the possibility that Livia and Angela are lesbians. Note that 'lesbian' here doesn't refer to flowers!"

"Master, I understand. Based on their data, the probability of them liking each other and being together is one hundred percent. By the way, Master, your data and theirs are both very low, even lower than those five stupid guys."

"Damn it! Damn it! How could someone as outstanding as me be inferior to those five idiots!"

"Master, according to what you said, you are just an ordinary person. And your appearance is only average. Olivia and Angelica, on the other hand, are top-tier in every aspect. Of course, Master, you also have your own strengths."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Master has many ideas and plans in his mind that could destroy the world, and so far at least three of them have been realized. Also, Master, you are very enthusiastic about things related to war."

Lyon's face darkened, and he looked as uncomfortable as if he were constipated.

He wanted to refute the claim that he loved peace, but the current situation was exactly as Lucasion had stated!

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 40 Lucaccion! We need to build more warships!

in the corridor.

Angelica and Olivia stopped Daniel and Raymond, who were about to leave.

"Um, Miss Angelica, is there anything I can help you with?"

Raymond asked cautiously, his face full of respect.

"Leon, where did Leon go?"

Angelica spoke somewhat shyly, her voice carrying a cold undertone, yet one could still sense her nervousness.

"Uh, Leon should be in the school courtyard right now. Ever since some girls started writing letters after class, Leon has been heading there after class."

"I understand, thank you."

Angelica thanked her and then took Olivia's hand and left, appearing somewhat hurried.

Daniel and Raymond exchanged a glance at Angelica, both seeing something strange in each other's eyes.

Since the start of the semester, Leon, Olivia, and Angelica have been spending most of their time together, and their relationship is quite close. Some people in the school already think they're a couple. So it's understandable that people are curious when Angelica and Olivia come to ask them where Leon has been.

On the way, Olivia became worried when she saw that Angelica's complexion was not very good.

"Angie, you and Leon haven't had a falling out, have you?"

"No. No, I should say yes. Sigh~"

Angelica stopped and sighed. A hint of self-reproach and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Lyon wanted to sign up for the air motorcycle race, but I stopped him."

"Why?"

"Because some people in the academy want revenge on Lyon. It's because of the duel with Julius last time. Many people lost a lot of money that time. They don't dare to vent their anger on Julius and his group, so they can only choose Lyon."

"But it's not their fault. How can you blame Leon?"

Olivia also looked angry.

"Who knows? Anyway, let's go and have a good talk with Leon first. I hope he can forgive me. Livia, you have to put in a good word for me later!"

Angelica grasped Olivia's hands, her eyes shining with expectation.

"Yes, Ange!"

…………

On a bench in the school's central garden.

Lyon browsed through the information about Augustus's management of the factory during this period, as well as the upgrade of Barutona.

All the parts for Bartona have now been manufactured and are just waiting for testing at the base before they can be delivered to the capital. They are expected to arrive on the day of the school festival.

The factory is currently operating well, with monthly revenue reaching 100,000 Tia. It will take about six months to reach profitability.

Whether it's left or right, we'll only know later.

"August did a pretty good job. Once the Bartona's test results are good, we can begin construction of the first-class battleship. Lucius, your work on analyzing and replicating magic shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Master, with the help of technicians like Augustus, I have grasped the basic principles of magic. Construction of a new production line has begun at the base, expected to be completed in fifteen days, and construction of first-class warships can begin in twenty days. It is estimated that a production line can build a first-class warship in four months, and complete the debugging of various equipment in one month, at a cost of 100,000 platinum coins!"

thump!

Lyon slumped onto the bench, his whole being filled with despondency and despair.

"Ten...ten thousand platinum coins! Ten million gold coins! That's a hundred billion Tia!!!"

The cost of building a single first-class warship is as high as 100 billion tia. Add to that logistics, ammunition, energy and a whole host of other things, and the cost to make it reach its combat effectiveness would probably be no less than 150 billion tia! The annual maintenance costs would also be a huge sum!

Even though these expenses all came from the labyrinth, Leon felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, Lyon's current shortcomings have become apparent: the base was established too late, and the reserves of resources are too small to allow for rapid troop buildup!

"Master, based on the current state of the labyrinth, it will take approximately one year to collect the construction materials for a first-class warship from now on."

"Lucasion, we need more resource-rich floating islands! Send out warships! We need to find more resource-rich floating islands in the chaotic region; we need more warships!!!"

Lyon looked up at the sky, his voice tinged with sorrow.

Sorry, space pirates! I'll have to make do with this for my warships!

"Leon!"

Olivia exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Leon lying on the bench, and ran over with small, quick steps, bobbing up and down with the intense waves.

However, Lyon, who was currently penniless, had no interest in appreciating this beautiful scenery.

"Hello, Livia."

Olivia was worried when she heard Leon's weak voice and placed her hand on his forehead.

"Hmm~, it's not a fever. What's wrong with you?"

Olivia crouched down, looking at Leon with her bright eyes filled with worry.

On the bench, feeling the sudden fragrance and faint warmth wafting from his nose, Leon turned his head away shyly.

"Leon, so you're here. I have something to tell you about the school festival."

Angelica walked over, panting. It was obvious that she had just been exercising vigorously. Her forehead and her swan-like white neck were covered with fine beads of sweat that mixed with feminine scent.

“Angie, Lyon doesn’t seem to be feeling well.”

"I see. Let me take a look."

As Angelica spoke, she walked up to Leon, the two of them less than five centimeters apart!

At this close range, Leon's gaze clearly saw the straight figure wearing black pantyhose, and a strange fragrance constantly stimulated the tip of Leon's nose.

Gudong!

Lyon swallowed hard, wanting to remind Angelica of her inappropriate behavior at that moment.

Olivia, however, raised her head and placed Leon on her lap as if coaxing a child, their bare skin touching.

The delicate and warm touch made Leon's cheeks burn, and he didn't want to speak.

This feeling... it's absolutely exhilarating!

Lyon's long-desired lap pillow was finally fulfilled under these extraordinary circumstances.

Although their relationship prevented Leon from taking any further intimate steps, he still closed his eyes contentedly and fell asleep peacefully.

"Hmm~, Angela, Leon's complexion seems to be better. It seems that what Mom said really worked."

Olivia touched Leon's gradually recovering cheek and then said happily to Angelica, "This is how my mother used to hold me when I was sick as a child."

"Is that so? But Leon looks like he's asleep. Let's switch later."

Angelica looked at Leon, who was already asleep, with some suspicion, but she agreed without much thought.

On this day, Lyon finally got the lap pillow he had always dreamed of.

Although the unconscious touch in my sleep resulted in two more dark circles under my eyes, that soft touch is deeply etched in my memory!

P.S.: It's more, not all!

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 41 Please dress like this!

Lyon directed Daniel and Raymond to set up the tables and chairs in the classroom.

"Lyon, I have absolutely no idea why you would open a coffee shop?"

"Although your reputation among girls has improved a bit now, you're bound to lose a lot of money with the tea sets you're using now."

Daniel and Raymond grumbled at Lyon as they moved the chairs around.

The two of them had originally planned to invite the girl they had been chatting with recently to go out together during the school festival.

After all, as a noble academy in the Kingdom of Holfalt, the school festival offers a variety of activities to enjoy. This is perfect for boys who want to strengthen their relationships with girls.

Of course, increasing intimacy with a girl would require spending a lot of money, which was completely impossible for Daniel and Raymond in the past. However, the two of them, who had earned a small sum of money with Leon during the holidays, had enough.

"I'm telling you, haven't you two been spending a lot of money on mechs and airships? If you continue like this, you won't even be able to afford to maintain them in the future."

Leon looked at the two who had experienced adult pleasures these past few days and gave them a helpless smile. The idea that indulging in frivolous pursuits can lead to neglecting one's studies is always present, especially for two people who have already experienced adult pleasures.

It's worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Holfalt stipulates that the age of adulthood is 15, and boys and girls who enter the academy at 16 are allowed to date freely. Such relationships are common among many boys and girls at the academy, especially among girls who have demi-human slaves as lovers. Of course, wealthy boys might also visit the red-light district for a taste of life.

"It's alright, Lyon. If all else fails, we'll just borrow money."

Daniel and Raymond spoke casually, their faces full of trust in Lyon.

"You two, corrupted by women, I'm truly ashamed to be friends with you!"

Hearing Lyon's words, Daniel and Raymond both raised their hands in disdain and then got to work.

"Leon, is it really okay to dress like this?"

As Olivia's swaying figure approached, Leon looked over and felt a burning sensation in his nose. He immediately covered it with his hand, took several deep breaths, and then spoke with some excitement.

"Livia, you look beautiful like this! Please keep dressing like this!"

Lyon spoke seriously, his words filled with solemnity, but his eyes, darting around as if about to take flight, betrayed that it was all an act.

At this moment, Olivia was dressed in a black and white maid outfit, which perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure. The well-made dress cinched her waist perfectly, holding her impressive figure in place. The only regret was that her curves were hidden by the white silk fabric, because Leon didn't want anyone else to see them!

Her fair, swan-like neck was adorned with a white bow. Next, and most importantly, were the white pantyhose, the exquisitely crafted fabric revealing her fair, rosy legs, exuding an alluring charm.

"Lyon, this maid outfit of yours must have cost a lot of money. I've only ever seen this kind of silk fabric at banquets held in royal palaces."

Angelica walked over, also dressed in a black and white maid outfit. Her tall, proud figure was visually striking, and the black stockings on her legs gave her an air of mystery.

"Ahem. Don't worry about that. Anyway, these two maid outfits were custom-made for me, and they seem to fit your figures perfectly. Please take care of them on the day of the school festival."

Lyon spoke solemnly, bowing deeply.

The maid outfits worn by Olivia and Angelica were custom-made by Leon for 500,000 Tia. The materials used were all top-quality, smooth fabrics that would feel incredibly silky to the touch and maximize the excitement transmitted through the nerves.

As for why Leon was so sure that the maid outfits he had custom-made would fit both of their figures, that can only be attributed to his talent!

"It's nothing, Leon. I really like it (wearing it for you). But is Ange alright?"

Olivia blushed and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, while silently repeating the words in parentheses to herself.
