"It's amazing what magic can do..."

“ Yes, but it is also quite expensive! ”

"U-n, also... now this site should be almost a safe place for all those people."

“ Yes, but it's also quite expensive! ”

…I had to say it several times because this was also important!!

The day after completing the shelter for over 15,000 people, I brought the girls as they both also wanted to see the citadel that had been magically created…literally. The two girls were quite shocked by this, but… my heart was still a bit hurt! Surely it won't heal until I recover some of my wealth!!

Well, as Shigure mentioned, things still weren't perfect. The 4 gates in each of the 20m walls weren't entirely secure… or rather, they couldn't stop the “little” titans of about 3m and which could enter through the door easily. It wasn't like this citadel was for the specific purpose of stopping these after all, so some minor adjustments were necessary.

After collecting a good amount of metal, and obtaining the necessary material for blacksmithing work inside the second wall of the city near us, Shigure and I took it upon ourselves to create gates strong enough to stop the giants.

…I didn't expect to have to put to use that ability that I had gained earlier. Also, thanks to all that work, this leveled up a couple of ranks. Well, since it was at a fairly low rank, this shouldn't be that surprising.

On the other hand, I can witness Shigure's skill at this. It doesn't look like it, but she had a lot of experience in blacksmith issues! I think it was also thanks to watching her and her instruction that my [Blacksmith] skill leveled up.

With this, now this place was a perfect haven! Or at least you can say that it was a good investment! Otherwise, I would have truly cried tears of blood. And it was really worth what I paid for that scroll... its resistance was very good, I even dare to say that it was much better than the walls of that city!

…when the titans discovered the place and tried to attack it, they only managed to leave some small marks on the walls! Also, it was restored at a pretty fast rate! In the end, those giants had no choice but to give up and retreat.

“Now there is only the problem of being able to get those people safely here…”

““…””

This Saeko says is another big problem! That's why I and Shigure can only frown thinking of a solution... it was useless to have a safe place if people can't get there safely!!

"Well... I can only use that"

""What?""

Although... it's not like I didn't have an idea to make this easier. I hadn't just been worrying about seeking a shelter these last few days! When I wasn't killing titans, I used to think about this a bit.

The most practical and easy solution I imagined, was to rely on the system again and buy some kind of magic scroll of mass teleportation... unfortunately, I had to discard this immediately! A magic scroll with the right characteristics to teleport more than 15 thousand people was... was out of my reach!!

The next thing I considered was arming the people we had to rescue. Giving them weapons like BIMs or RPGs for their own defense should help a bit! I've checked the defense of the titans perfectly, and so far I don't think they can resist the attack of those weapons!!

But there were two problems with this… first, I had to pay 1,000RC to could perform this! Well, the truth is that I was a little more willing to do this since I had been considering it since before… being able to use these weapons would surely help a lot as the titan kill counter would increase at a much faster rate, which is also meant a greater number of crystals that we could collect!!

Unfortunately, there was also the second problem… giving weapons to people who didn't have the slightest idea how to use them was extremely dangerous! Although it is not that difficult to use them, with a few people who fail due to being nervous when fighting titans it would be a catastrophe for ourselves!!

So in order to do something like that, I first had to implement some kind of orientation and training on these weapons…and that's not something that can be done quickly!

So I could only think of something else... to have more helpers to make this task easier! From what the girls have told me, the vast majority of those people are simple civilians… and what's worse, a large percentage were elderly or people who could barely fend for themselves. If we put it in kind words, it was a group of non-combatants. But if you were tougher about it, the truth was that they could only be considered dead weight!

…therefore, the help I sought could not come from among them.

And of course, I couldn't depend on the city that was expelling them either... well, I don't think all the residents of that city are heartless people, the problem was rather that I didn't know many people and, therefore, not many would be willing to listen to me. Perhaps the only ones I could trust would be the three little boys, but... sadly they wouldn't be much help this time.

If the people I had to save or the residents of that city weren't much help, then I could only rely on my own means. And for this, I had a few things… 3 scrolls to be precise. And best of all, these cost me nothing! They were system rewards for previous quests!

They were two [Transmutation Scrolls - F] and one [Summoning Scroll (Monster) - F]. The first ones, I really don't think they were very helpful now... things shouldn't change too much because one or two people joined our group at this time. While, according to its specifications, the homunculi created would be at least level 150... against things that normally exceed 10m in height, humans with that strength still have their limitations in things they can do.

The best proof of this was Shigure… even though she had reached that level, and even now she was at the 6th limit of the 2nd soul level thanks to the pill we found in the ruined city earlier, at most now it was a little easier for her to kill a titan due to her physical improvements that this caused.

But unfortunately, it's not like she has become someone who could decimate a horde of titans by herself… she was still far from that!

So, only the last scroll remained... and I had more hopes for this one. It was a monster after all! These regularly have a physique superior to that of humans! It may not be anything like the natural enemy of these huge things either, but it should provide much more help than the homunculi.

In any case, I can always use those two scrolls as well… even if I have to practically go bankrupt for that! Yes, it was more than clear that to use them you needed red crystals! And a considerable amount too!

"...A scroll?"

“ So you were talking about having the help of magic again, Alex-san? ”

For the previous question that the girls had asked me, I take out the scroll that I intended to use. Both girls seemed a little excited as they had previously missed how this city was quickly created from nothing…no doubt both of them were very curious about these things.

“…well, it's not quite like that, Saeko-chan. I'll summon someone to help us with this... or at least I'll try! ”

Yeah, only one problem about this... because the monster that would be summoned this time would probably be over level 150 and would have a higher rationale, it wouldn't be like the previous summons where it was almost certain to get a new monster when using one of these scrolls!

…just like what happens when I summons a person, I would also have to try to convince this one! This made me a little nervous! If it failed, then things would not improve for us… and most importantly, it would be a huge loss for me!

No, it wasn't just that. It also meant that I would have to use even more crystals!!

“ E-Ermm … are you alright, Alex-san? ”

“…d-o you need to rest a bit? These days you have been trying quite hard…”

“…”

S-Some sweat was dripping down my forehead… and I was even panting a bit due to the thought of failing! The girls try to calm me down a bit, but… this time it didn't help much!

Why was I so nervous and negative, you ask? For my damn luck!!

"Please... this time do your job... please... please... please!"

While reciting a mantra to reassure me, I start pulling out one red crystal after another until the scroll seems to activate… 50RC… 100RC… 150RC… F-Fuck, do you need that many? If I fail, they'll go in the trash, you know?!! 200RC… 250RC… 300RC!!

When that number arrives there, finally the damn crystal-sucking scroll activates! So, just like other times, the instructions for the summoning are transmitted to my head.

This was a scroll that summoned a specific monster, which by the way I'm quite happy about. If I spent that amount of crystals and a fucking goblin came out, level 150 but… still a fucking goblin, then I would really cry blood!

Following the instructions on the scroll, I quickly think of the monster I want to summon… I've already thought of one before, so I just do it right away and keep the image of the monster I chose…

In the next moment, I'm in a blank… umu, it's been a while since I last came to this place. I quickly search the place hoping to find what I wanted, but… at first glance I can't find it!

For a moment I thought I had failed from the start! But, considering that if that was the case I wouldn't even have come here, I decide to pay more attention to the place. Then I see a person who seemed surprised and was looking around as if wanting to better understand her current situation.

“Human… who are you and where are we?”

“…”

"…Did you not hear me?"

Finally, our eyes meet and she asks me that while frowning… the truth is that at that moment when our eyes met, I was somewhat surprised and didn't pay much attention to her words.

This was because what was at a certain distance from me as she raised her voice, could only be described as a beautiful young woman… a completely naked beautiful young woman!

Why was she naked?!

No, now that I think about it... I think it should be normal, right? Either way, not that I'm complaining… I'm just taken a little by surprise. Well, I think I should also thank her a bit for this… after having to see naked titans running around everywhere, this was a change my mind and heart honestly welcomed!

"...I'm sorry, what did you say?"

“Where are we and who are you?”

I wasn't the only one who was watching curiously, she was too... so we're even... or maybe I should undress to be?

"…What are you doing, boy?"

“…I thought you wanted to have an honest conversation where no one can hide anything”

"…you are an idiot?"

“…”

Umu …it seems that instead of being more comfortable with both of us being naked, it makes her more uncomfortable…I have no choice but to stop my actions of taking off my clothes.

Didn't they say that one of the best ways to communicate between two people is by being totally naked? It seems that it is not entirely true!

Or maybe it wasn't in a totally literal way? No, maybe it's because one of us isn't human and her values are different… anyway, it's a bit curious how even though she's a bit annoyed by my nudity, she doesn't seem to care about her own state.

“My name is Alexander… and you are?”

“Alexander? I am…. ”
