"Rin-sama, please leave these matters to me."
Justeaze volunteered, "I have some experience in environmental planning."
The construction of the Einzbern territory back then had a share of her contribution.
Now doing it again, she only needed a little familiarity to easily get started.
"That's a big help."
Rin didn't understand town planning, let alone environmental design.
With professional help, Rin naturally wouldn't refuse.
As soon as Rin walked out of his courtyard, he saw the crowd gathered in front of his house.
Everyone was still immersed in the fierce battle between the crowd and Gilgamesh.
Upon seeing Rin return at this moment, they all cheered.
"Everyone, move back a bit! Being this close will bother Rin-sama!"
Seeing this, Shion quickly stepped forward to maintain order, then turned and hugged Rin's arm: "Shuna has already sent someone to prepare the dinner."
With that, Shion dragged Rin toward the direction of the hot springs.
First a bath, then dinner.
"Pon!"
Ogerpon leaped out of the void and then followed Rin.
There were also Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
They originally wanted to go together too.
But seeing so many people, the two girls felt a bit embarrassed and could only watch from afar as the other girls led Rin away.
"How shameless, that Shion."
"Cough!"
Snow Empress's pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "You mustn't speak carelessly, Bing'er."
What the two girls were talking about, of course, was the matter of bathing in the hot springs.
In the eyes of the monsters, Rin was the supreme ruler, their king.
And by the King's side, there would certainly be no shortage of women to serve him.
However, there were too many monks and too little gruel.
There were so many beautiful female monsters in the town.
As long as Rin needed it, someone would immediately offer themselves.
"Xue'er..."
Thinking of this, Ice Empress suddenly changed the subject: "Shouldn't we also be a bit more proactive?"
"Hmm?"
Snow Empress looked at Ice Empress in surprise, somewhat incredulous.
"No."
"What I mean is..."
"Xue'er, look."
Ice Empress: "Shion and Shuna are so proactive, Master will fall sooner or later."
Even as Rin's subordinate, Ice Empress was still unwilling to be inferior to others.
Being conquered by Rin was unavoidable.
Other people, besides Snow Empress, Ice Empress submitted to no one!
"Then, Bing'er, you go?"
"Me? No, no, I can't!"
Although Ice Empress spoke eloquently, having originated from the Soul Continent, she was actually quite pure.
If Rin requested it, they might not refuse.
But to actively seek courtship, that would be too shameful.
"Suddenly feeling a bit envious of Ogerpon, what's going on?"
Ice Empress watched Ogerpon naturally follow Rin and Shion into the hot spring bathhouse, feeling quite emotional.
"Alright, don't overthink it."
Snow Empress: "We are Rin's martial spirits, no matter where he goes, he will definitely take us with him."
Being able to constantly accompany Rin, their status would not be shaken at all.
Snow Empress felt that Ice Empress's personality had changed somewhat.
In the past, she wouldn't care about others' opinions.
But now, Ice Empress was actually competing for favor with Shuna and Shion.
'This seems pretty good too.'
Snow Empress liked her current life very much, it was far better than the unchanging ice and snow of the past.
However, very soon, a single sentence from Ice Empress almost made Snow Empress lose her composure.
"Snow Empress, aren't you worried that Master will ask you to attend him at night?"
"Bing'er, you!"
Snow Empress angrily stretched out a finger and flicked Ice Empress's forehead hard: "If you talk nonsense again, I will discipline you well on behalf of Master!"
Despite her words, Snow Empress was truly stirred by Ice Empress's words, conjuring many associations.
Although she was an ice and snow spirit, her body was subtly heating up.
However, if Rin truly made such a request of her, would she refuse?
'What am I thinking?!'
Snow Empress quickly dispelled such thoughts, then angrily grabbed Ice Empress's hand: "Come with me!"
"What are you doing?!"
To calm herself, Snow Empress prepared to give her a good workout.
Fortunately, Ice Empress escaped quickly.
Otherwise, a good beating would definitely be unavoidable.
"What the heck!"
After running dozens of kilometers in one go, Ice Empress finally dared to stop: "I was just joking, why is Snow Empress so serious?"
She truly hadn't thought that the aloof, cold, and pure Snow Empress would actually develop worldly desires because of her words.
There was nothing she could do, Rin's intimacy with the two girls was increasing daily.
Unconsciously, they had already come to regard Rin as the most important person.
"However, if Rin really had ideas about us..."
Ice Empress leaned against a large tree, her arms crossed as she pondered: "Would I refuse?"
"Yikes!!"
As the thought arose, Ice Empress was immediately startled by her own idea: "I, I would actually hesitate?"
Such a thing should, of course, be sternly refused.
"But, but why would I..."
Just as Ice Empress began to ponder her relationship with Rin, a strange fighting sound caught her attention.
"What's that sound?"
"Someone is fighting nearby? Is it a monster from the forest?"
Her thoughts interrupted, Ice Empress was somewhat displeased.
"Swish!"
Her perception barrier instantly unfolded, and Spatial Motion activated.
In an instant, Ice Empress had arrived at the place where the battle was occurring.
"Huh?"
She saw a large and a small monster fighting in a sea of flowers surrounded by the forest.
The larger one was a tiger-shaped monster, looking quite ferocious.
The smaller one was a half-human-tall, pitch-black Beetle.
"Monsters?"
"No, that's not right."
Soon, Ice Empress noticed the difference in this Beetle.
Because behind the Beetle, there was also a teary-eyed Bee-type monster.
"Is it fighting the enemy to protect its companion?"
Realizing this, Ice Empress narrowed her eyes slightly.
She remembered Rin saying that they were to subdue all intelligent monsters in the Great Jura Forest.
Now that they had encountered one, there was certainly no reason to let it go.
Looking at the battle situation again.
The Beetle was no weaker than the Monster Tiger, it had just endured many battles before this, leaving it covered in wounds.
If the fight continued like this, the Beetle would likely be severely injured.
"Fine, let me give you a hand."
Ice Empress didn't hesitate. The moment the Beetle was sent flying again by the Monster Tiger, she raised her hand and froze the Monster Tiger into a block of ice.
