[Agnes point of view]

Damn it, who would've thought the lady of the holy death, Santa Muerte can suddenly show up. Plus, just why did the minion of god of death suddenly decided to become active once again!? The last time it happened, it was back when that bastard Vincent...

(Sigh... bad memories one after another) [Agnes]

Is Ash the cause of it? If so, how. I need to investigate further

"It's strange seeing you all messed up like this" [?]

"Aah, it's you" [Agnes]

The S rank adventure, the hermaphrodite butterfly race beastman, Motra. He/she has a feminine face with an exoskeleton of a male insect beastman. Her/his wing is also different, with one having orange in colour while another one with black

"From the looks of it, our plan at Kiserre doesn't go well" [Motra]

"I'll tell you and the other about it" [Agnes]

"Hmm... that's no good, I want some sneak peek first" [Motra]

"Just where are the others?" [Agnes]

"Who knows. You aren't the only one having hand all tied up" [Motra]

"Sorry to keep you waiting" [Half giant]

"Oh my, to think Zin will bring him here" [Motra]

"Well well, if it isn't the S rank adventure" [Lion beastman]

Isn't he, the leader of the true beastman group

"Simba was it" [Agnes]

"It's an honour to meet you all" [Simba]

He brings along some followers of him. They sure look strong, good. I can use more strong specimens

"You are late!" [Cupid]

"Sorry sorry, we have a lot to discuss just now" [Elsa]

Cupid ram into Elsa, asking her to play together. Adoption, sure sound nice, plus, beyond the scope of race, they really look like sister. Kronbir will become the eldest and as for Bond, the father. One happy family at home

"You sure grin a lot" [Khamishah]

"It's a nice sight to behold" [Ash]

"That's true" [Diana]

"Do you have some business with me?" [Ash]

"Nothing, I just thought it will be nice to give Mrs Saga here a tour around orphanage while explaining each of our role" [Diana]

"Is that really all? I got that Khamishah here is a big shot, but surely you can ask someone else to do the job, unless..." [Ash]

"There he goes, thinking rude about me" [Diana]

"I don't know what you are thinking, but I just thought you coming here might be due to the school or community center issue" [Ash]

"Finally, this little boy have all grown up!" [Diana]

"We are of the same age to begin with..." [Ash]

"Well, that, as well as giving you this" [Qis]

A high quality steel. They must have noticed the fences need some serious repair

"And before you start acting rude, it's free. Take it, no string attached" [Qis]

"..." [Ash]

"NO STRINGS ATTACHED!" [Qis]

"Sure..." [Ash]

"It sincerely hurt when all your good work and intention being treated like this" [Diana]

"Fine, and thanks" [Ash]

Well, with this material, I can further upgrade it. Well, not exactly me but

"All of you, come here. I will teach you on how to upgrade a fortress defense magic" [Ash]

"Yes!" [Kids]

My siblings, the neighborhood kids, even some young magician working as an adventure gather around, and of course Housey is here as well.

"Wait, isn't that..." [Young adventure]

"Focus. You can talk to me later" [Khamishah]

"Right!" [Young adventure]

"I wonder if you can let us do it?" [Liyana]

"Sorry, but the material I'll be using is just too valuable, so nope" [Ash]

"I see..." [Liyana]

"Haha, sorry, but you will understand once I show you this" [Ash]

I bring out the three S rank magic core. One Earth magic core, one wood magic core, and another hybrid between the two, and needless to say, they're all shock

"No wonder I can't detect the abyss centipede magic core!" [Khamishah]

"Well, I do solo it, so it's mine" [Ash]

"Unbelievable... simply unbelievable. Can't you sell one to me!" [Diana]

"Nope, one for upgrading Housey, one for golem, and another for further defense. Even if there is spare, I will give it to Mira so that the orphanage at Malsia can be better protected" [Ash]

"Sigh... let me know if you ever change your mind" [Diana]

"Well then, time to explain the process. Pay attention as I will ask you some questions at the end of the session" [Ash]

"EEHH!" [Others]

Well, there are few methods of upgrading a fortress defense magic. First, just make a new one, like building a new PC. Second, like upgrading your PC, bring out the old part and replace it with new one or simply add one. Third, and the method that I will use, is to merge this two magic core. Let said that Housey in the A rank magic core is a data (well, AI is more suitable, but never mind that), I just have to transfer the date from the A rank magic core to the S rank magic core (I'll be using the half earth half wood magic core), while simultaneously use the old A rank magic core to strengthen Housey new body and

"Done..." [Ash]

~Pant~

That sure take a lot of my mana. Almost 3/4 of it

"Amazing, to think that the two magic core emerge" [Kadeus]

"Not quite, Housey simply move from one body to another, inhibiting the S rank magic core now. The bright light that you see just now is exactly that, while upgrading the components is by merging the two magic core" [Liyana]

"That true, 100 point for you!" [Ash]

"- .... .- -. -.- / -.-- --- ..- / ..-. --- .-. / ..- .--. --. .-. .- -.. .. -. --. / -- . -.-.--" [Housey]

"We can all..." [Kara]

"Understand Housey!" [Mara]

"So this must be the feeling that Brother Ash get all the time" [Karon]

"It's like another sound inside my mind" [Khamishah]

"True" [Qis]

"Well, before, I can just sort of understand what Housey was saying intuitively, but now, it kinda feel like there's another voice. Oh, and you're welcome Housey" [Ash]

So, in a sense, this is also new for me, but more importantly, it's a success! It's tiring but now there's less thing to worry about. Time for the upgraded Housey to do its job

"Housey, use that material to strengthen the fences, and can you make a harmless trap plant that only reacts to ill will person" [Ash]

".-.. . .- ...- . / .. - / - --- / -- ." [Housey]

"It sure is nice if Housey here can sprout a large tree for me" [?]

A voice, plus, I can feel something small landing on my head

"Eeehhh!" [Farhah]

"That's a fairy!" [Rafiah]

"So cute!" [Elise]

"""So small!!!""" [Singa, Savel, Charlotte]

"Who are you calling small!" [Fairy]

"Why are there fairy here?" [Claude]

"How rude of you Claude! I have been watching you with Master, even your spooky scheme to ward off potential buyer!" [Fairy]

"!?" [Other]
