Riches and Bitches: I have a gate to an isekai and leveling-up system!

Chapter 352 Love nest like a Fairy's lair

"This is starting to really weird me out..." I muttered, standing at the foot of the new headquarters project.

A building that neared its general completion just a little bit before the sun hid behind the horizon. And yet, when I approached it roughly half an hour into the night...

The work was still bustling all around.

'Back when we first came to visit this place together, the work was already dying out...' I thought, staring absentmindedly at all the hustle around and within the building itself.

Even with Kash going away to work on the more important gateway project, her hand-picked brigades returned to put in just a little bit more time and effort before the end of the day.

Satisfied with their tasty and warm meals, well-rested after the break, the imperials continued to pour their sweat to add some important, finishing touches to the whole project.

To the side, one brigade was constructing what appeared like a utility shed.

Looking past the building, at the pile of resources already gathered nearby, I could spot quite a number of long, steel pipes. And even from a distance...

I could they those black tubes of steel were way too thick to serve as piping.

'A water tower?' I thought, raising my eyes when I spotted four, curved pieces that could fit together into quite the massive water container. 'It would need to be higher than any tap it would feed into...'

I turned my head and took a look at the massive frame of the actual headquarters.

There, what looked like two more brigades moved in and around, carrying all sorts of critical pieces of equipment. And with a narrow and shallow stretch of a half-completed corridor going half its height into the ditch in the ground, the entire thing finally made sense.

It would be a long time before the whole camp would get access to what modern civilization considered to be the two most basic utilities.

Water and power.

The aspect of water expanded into sewage and access to fresh and clean water. The power could provide both heat, but also electrical energy to operate all sorts of convenient tools. Even the kitchens fell into this category with portable electric stoves filling the gap.

From what I could see with just a quick glance, the shed on the off-side of the headquarters had the makings to house both a powerful generator and also a series of pumps necessary to move the water around in the system. And while there still would be a need to resupply the tower with fresh water, once it would stand up...

'I never expected we could get toilet and tap water so soon,' I thought, mildly impressed by the efficient and consequential manner in which Makary's engineers and planners pushed all the projects ahead.

'And if everything works out, we might get a fresh source of all the resources we could ask for in the world.'

Taking a deep breath, I cast yet another look at the nearby imperials before shaking my head and picking up my pace.

Crossing the distance to the main entrance of the administrative cube within seconds, I soon climbed the stairs and rushed to the top of the building.

Speechless.

This world truly described how I felt and how I was at this precise moment.

The profane of Fay's ordinary look and vibe mixed with the sacrum of the surroundings she created... Only to create a perfect mix of justified dignity and well-earned profoundness.

In this one, particular moment, Fay simply peaked before my eyes.

My earlier imagination of how hard she was going to work on the room shattered when faced with results that could never be achieved with my mere expectations.

No.

To transform the bare walls and floors of our apartment into what I could easily interpret as a masterful improved recreation of modern comforts...

My face softened, quickly followed by nearly my entire body. Before my knees would give up as my entire existence melted down, I reached out and grabbed Fay by her shoulders before slowly, gently pulling her into a casual, light hug.

Still, rather than keeping my hands on Fay's back or greedily reaching out down for her ass, I moved my right hand up and to the top of Fay's head. I then pressed it down on her slightly moist yet still perfectly soft hair.

"You've worked hard, didn't you?" I hummed while gently patting Fay's hair down before I finally managed to squeeze it tightly enough to caress Fay's head.

My entire body gave up, kept upright with only a desperate construct I somehow improvised and fed just enough aura to keep myself up.

I felt as if my entire existence was compromised by some potent drug, causing everything to simply... meltdown.

"Hehehe..."

As startled as Fay initially was, she quickly let out a satisfied giggle. She then brought her hands up to my chest before pressing the side of her head right above my heart. For a moment, she just rested while enjoying the head pats, only to then swing her chin up as she raised her eyes to my face and smiled gently.

"You did too, didn't you?"

Fay reached out with her left and pressed it against my cheek.

"We both worked hard, so..."

As Fay's smile turned from gentle through warm and welcoming all the way to full of emotional longing and bodily desire...

Ring, ring, ring!

The radio on my hip forced us right back to reality.
