"As for the food, don't worry about it. Just leave it to Luke."
Uvogin remained nonchalant, completely unconcerned.
Nobunaga swallowed the last bite of fried rice.
To be able to casually pull out such a unique fruit lunch box and use such a delicious meal as a gift.
Nobunaga was more willing to believe that this person named Luke, whom he had just met, could solve the food problem.
But as for the space in the house... They couldn't possibly expand it, could they?
Let's not even talk about whether they had the skills or the ability to do it.
Even if they did want to expand, the other guys in Meteor City, who were eyeing them covetously, would definitely not let them go.
If these kids could stick together, couldn't the others?
Once they complete the renovations and expansion, they'll probably be the first to suffer, their gains reaped by others.
"Space in the house isn't a problem."
Phinks was even more confident than Luke himself.
Having witnessed Luke's wonders firsthand and enjoyed the benefits, he now had a somewhat blind faith in him!
"Not a problem?"
Nobunaga remained skeptical and turned to look at Luke.
Then he saw Luke casually pulling out the Four-Dimensional Building Extension Blocks.
Nobunaga then repeated the stunned expression of Uvogin and Phinks.
"It actually expanded..."
Nobunaga muttered while gazing at the staircase that had suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall, and the space connecting it to the upper level.
And crucially, it wasn't just one level.
"There are six of us here, so I've added five more floors."
Luke said, adding five more layers of blocks.
"I want the highest floor!"
Before Luke could even start choosing a floor, Uvogin immediately decided on his own.
"I want to be at the very top!"
No one challenged him.
Even Phinks was slightly annoyed by what Uvogin had said.
But the thought of having to climb six more floors to get to his room robbed him of interest.
Well, while these Four-Dimensional Building Extension Blocks can add floors, it doesn't have an elevator.
You can only climb the stairs, which is a minor drawback.
It's like in Doraemon, Nobita built his room dozens of floors high, but the bathroom stayed on the first floor, forcing him to keep climbing down…
Until finally, unable to hold it in, he wet himself halfway.
"Then I'll take the fifth floor."
Machi, who disliked being too close to the ground and felt safer higher up, spoke calmly.
Phinks and Feitan had no objections; neither of them wanted to be near Uvogin.
Machi was there, providing a buffer.
"Then I'll take the fourth floor."
Luke said with a smile.
He was in the middle, neither too high nor too low, which was just right.
"Then I'll take the third floor."
"The second floor is mine."
Phinks and Feitan quickly divided up the remaining two floors.
That left Nobunaga, who hadn't had a chance to speak, opening his mouth awkwardly.
It seemed as if they didn't consider his opinion.
"What else do you need to say?"
Uvogin patted his shoulder nonchalantly.
"This is your home."
"The first floor is yours, no one will take it away from you!"
Nobunaga: "..."
Is there a chance... That he also wanted to live upstairs?
"Uvogin is right. This is Nobunaga's home."
Machi spoke up for once. "Everyone outside knows you live here."
"So if you're on the first floor, you can readily respond to anyone who knocks on the door, minimizing suspicion."
Well, not avoid, but reduce.
After all, with so many people crammed into Nobunaga's house, over time, it would naturally be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
Since Machi had said so, Nobunaga could only agree with a grimace for safety's sake.
He actually wanted to live on the upper floors and enjoy the view.
But with Uvogin and the others moving in, they could all huddle together for warmth and support.
At the very least, with Luke around, he wouldn't be short of food.
At this thought, Nobunaga instinctively smacked his lips.
'Well, it doesn't have to be fancy. Just something like the fried rice Luke had given me as a gift when I opened the door earlier would be fine.'
Then, the others stealthily moved all their belongings from their previous houses to Nobunaga's.
Uvogin and Phinks didn't have much, but Feitan brought over a dead tree from his own home.
They still had to rely on it to feed themselves.
"Alright, now we've at least secured the basics..."
Once everything was settled, Phinks rubbed his hands together while looking at Luke with anticipation.
"Now, Luke, can you please tell me about that power?!"
That power?!
Nobunaga's heart skipped a beat at those words. He realized that he seemed to have... Forgotten to ask Luke about that amazing ability.
Well, that's how Enhancer-type guys work.
"Well..."
Luke lifted his head, glancing at Phinks's eager face, Feitan leaning forward, Machi's calm gaze, and Uvogin's feigned indifference while clearly pricking up his ears, his curiosity obvious.
Only then did Luke's lips curve into a slow smile: "Alright."
