I heard the electronic ticking of the alarm clock and took my hand only out of the covers and placed it on top of the clock.

　When the sound stopped, I lingered for a few seconds with the comforter over me, boning and lingering for a few seconds, and then I let out a "good thing" and raised my upper body.

　He washes his face and gets dressed before heading down the stairs.

'Good morning,'

　I called out to A1, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, and got on the elevator.

　I went down to the second floor and walked down the aisle and saw light leaking from the dining room.

'Oh, good morning,'

Good morning. You're up early.

　When I entered, I saw Eira wiping down a table in the dining room. We exchanged greetings and smiled at the shiny table.

'Good. Since Eira has made the preparations, and maybe we'll eat together, let's go pick up Trayne and the others.

　When I said that, Eira replied and ran over to me.

　As I headed downstairs with Eira and A1, for some reason, two gatekeeping robots were standing in front of the main gate, holding the gate. Seeing the two robots standing in front of the gate with their hands pressed against the gate, I tilted my head.

''........Is there something wrong? Would you open it for me?

　When I asked them that, the two bodies began to open the gate with slow movements.

　Could it be that the gate was poorly built and rattled?

　As I was making a poor guess, I saw a small figure standing behind the open gate.

'Maia?'

　When I call his name, the figure looks up, looking a little sulky.

''........Good morning, good morning.''

Morning. How are you doing?

　Maea nodded with an indescribable expression.

'I was going to take some of my harvested vegetables and stuff to Taiki-sama, but he kicked me out.

Huh? To whom? Don't tell me you're two gatekeepers?

　Saying that, Maea pointed to the two bodies standing behind the gate and silently nodded her head.

　If it's an intruder from the outside, is it no good for people who live on the island?

　I turned to Eira with that thought.

'Eira, can you step outside for a moment and take a look?'

Oh, yes. Okay.

　Only Eira went outside and closed the gate. At the sound of a knock, two of the gatekeepers opened the gate a bit and blocked Eira from entering the castle by placing their hands in the direction of travel as she tried to enter the castle.

　Can't Eira, who lives inside the castle, get in? Could it be that I have to give permission to these two bodies every time?

　As I went to pick up Eira, I suddenly remembered something.

'Oh, I think I get it. Come here for a minute.

　With that, he took them and A1 back to the elevator and pushed a frightened Maia's back to the control room. When I arrived at the control room, I laughed at Maea, who blinked at me, and walked over to the control screen.

　I put my fingertips on the screen to operate it and reach the screen called Approval.

　Among the quite a few items, I found the words "New Occupancy". I had found it the first day I had hit this screen, but I had inadvertently forgotten about it.

　I touched the letters with my finger and saw what I thought were two people, a human woman, sixteen years old, and a cat-beast woman, fourteen years old.

'Fourteen years old?'

　When Eira looked at the screen and muttered that, Maea gently averted her gaze.

''I'll be fifteen years old in three months, sir.

　Chuckling at the two of them, I first selected the human woman item that looked like Eira.

　Then, all the data displayed on that s*xual harassment machine appeared in a vissy.

''............Oh?''

　I created an atmosphere as if I had never seen it before and looked next to it, but Eira was already red to the ears with tears in her eyes.

　Apparently, even in this world, three sizes are meaningful only by numbers. I didn't take offense, but I'm sure I saw a little bit of it, so it was bad luck.

　By the way, Maia didn't seem to understand it well. Well, it seems that they don't take detailed measurements in terms of clothing.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's okay. I, my..........

　I check the items at the bottom of the screen while joining Eira, who was acting suspiciously.

　The first floor has items such as gates, elevators and towers, while the second floor has elevators and kitchens.

　It seems that if you check this box, you can walk around the castle as you please.

''Hm? Does that mean you couldn't take the elevator alone?

　I asked, and Eira nodded.

　He didn't understand because they always broke up up upstairs.

　He agreed with one of them and checked the box for the two of them to be able to go to all the places.

　But lock the items on the control screen, such as robot-related and defense equipment-related items. It would be difficult if these areas were operated by mistake.

Good. Well then, let's go call Traine-san and the others.

Hmm? Why, sir?

I thought we could have breakfast together.

　I smiled at him and Maea nodded, looking a little surprised.




　When I went to pick up Trainee and the others, an empty white house was waiting for me. I looked around, but there was no sign of even a sign.

''Huh? Where did they go?

　When I muttered that, Maia pointed toward the garden.

It's probably the vegetable harvest, I think. I'm sure it's not the right time to harvest, but the vegetables seem to be ripe for harvesting.

"You're going to harvest all of that? That's a lot of work.

　Surprised by Maea's line, I ran in a hurry to find Trainee and the others.

　Looking at the terraced garden, I could see the three of them already harvesting baskets full of vegetables.

''Oi!''

　When I called out to them, aside from Runt and Schnee, who were reasonably close to me, Trayne, who was quite far away, also responded.

''Good morning,''

　Saying this, the three of them walked over carrying baskets of freshly harvested vegetables on their backs.

　It was a lot of food. Probably about a month's worth of food after they all worked hard to eat it.

''Whoa! That's a lot to take!

''Yes. I thought I'd harvest not only for Taiki-sama, but also for the great magician I haven't met yet.

　When Runt, who was the first to arrive here, said so, I realized I hadn't given him the information properly.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I misunderstood what you said about no one living on the island. There's only me and Eira living in the castle now, too.

...What?

　When I saw the stunned faces of Runt and Schnee, I told them again about the population of the castle and the island combined, and how often the vegetables would be ready.

　I also tell them that every time it's just noon, a robot will automatically water the trees and vegetables every time, and once a week another robot will cut the leaves of the trees and vegetables to keep the appearance of the garden in line.

　However, they don't harvest, so the produce is discarded along with the cut branches and leaves.

'Yeah! What a waste!

　Unusually, Schnee let out a loud voice.

''Well, we can harvest them every week. Just be careful not to let it die, and if you harvest enough for this many people to eat, you'll be fine.''

　When I said that, the three of them nodded their heads in agreement and said something like, "I've never heard of such a field, but if it's a great magician, I'm convinced.

　Well, even I can't believe in such a ridiculous environment. If I think up a mechanism, I'll be a grandfather before I know it.

Well then, let's have dinner with the vegetables you have harvested.

　When he said that and broke off the conversation first, for some reason Maea's stomach rumbled with a sound.

　Receiving everyone's gaze, Maea put her hand on her own stomach with an angry look on her face.

Is.

Yeah. I'll fill you up.

　Maea's ears pinged happily as she replied with a laugh, and smiles poured from Trainee and the others.

　However, I could sense a subtle coldness from A1 and Eira behind me.
