Author's note: we are now 4 chapters ahead!

Tony and his group casually approach the Lord’s palace. The new residents see their new Lord and quickly greet Tony to express their gratitude. Karin’s escort guard tries to stop them from approaching Tony, but he tells them it’s fine.

“Tony-sama. Thank you for saving us and taking us in.” (Dog kin) She and ten other beastkin respectfully bow to Tony.

“You are very welcome. We share the same enemy. And we must not lose to those who desecrate the fallen corpse as a weapon.” When everyone heard this, there were hated in their eyes toward the perpetrator.

“Tony-sama! If you need anything, please tell us, and we will do the best of our life!” (Cat Kin)

“Please don’t put your life at risk and change your livelihood because of me. We all contribute in our own way.” Tony then felt a tug on his trousers. He looks down and sees an adorable group of beastkin around Esta’s age.

“For you!” (Catkin and Dogkin children) They held large necklaces made of flowers. Tony couches down and lowers his head. The Children then put the flower necklace on Tony’s neck.

“These are lovely. Thank you so much.” He smiles and gives them a head pad. After the head pad, they quickly run off and hide behind their parents while sneaking a peek.

“Awwww. They’re shy.” Everyone chuckles due to the Beastkin Children’s cuteness. “Alright. My company and I must be going now.”

“Oh! I’m so sorry. You all must have been busy, and we were holding you up.” (Cat Kin) She bows profusely.

“It's alright. It was nice to interact with you all.” Tony then had an idea. “Actually, can you help me with something?”

“Yes! Anything you wish, I will do the best of my ability.” (Cat kin) She was down on one knee.

“Tony-san. She is pledging herself to you. It is offering her whole being to whoever she is vowing to. It’s like Soul Pledge but temporary. When she said anything, she really meant it.” (Karin) She whispers to Tony. He nods back in acknowledgement.

“It easy a task. Just tell everyone that they are all invited to a grand banquet at my palace at sundown.” Everyone was surprised by the sudden news. Even Kaguya and Karin were confused. “Since the city is about to open soon, I thought it would be great to celebrate. And make an important announcement to everyone.” Tony said to Kaguya and Karin. They understand Tony’s intention and start to form a plan.

“Then, I’ll start the preparation.” (Kagaua) She nods and smiles.

“I want everyone to attend induced the soldiers and guards.”

“Yes , Milord.” (Kaguya) She bows.

“Lord Tony. I, Su Ling, humbly accept your quest. Please excuse me.” (Catkin Su Ling) She bows and runs off to her family and friends. “EVERYONE, ONE BIG NEWS!” (Catkin Su Ling)

“Shall we move along?” Tony looks at Karin and shows her his arm-ring posture. Karin then happily accepted his invitation. She tightly hugs Tony’s arm and happily giggles like a teenage schoolgirl. Kayguya was a bit envious, then remembered that today was Karin’s day. She quickly shakes off her negative thoughts.

Tony and his companions continue to walk casually toward the Lord’s palace while being greeted by friendly locals. Around thirty minutes later, Tony and the others finally reach the palace’s large double front door.

“Thank you for escorting us here.” Tony thanks the four guards.

“It’s an honour, My Lord.” (Guards x4) They bow. “Please excuse us.” (Guards x4) They go back to their other duty.

“Mm, it’s great to be back.” As Tony pushes the door open, he hears a loud footsteps heading right at him. Tony saw an Elf flying toward him as the double doors were wide enough.

“Darrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrllliiinngggggggg!!!” (Ava) Seeing the incoming waifu, Tony quickly catches her.

“Oooooffff.” Ava slams herself onto Tony’s chest. He was chock for a bit.

“Hehehehehehehehe….Darling.” (Ava) She nuzzles her face against his chest.

“How are you, my princess?” Seeing how adorable she was, Tony gently patted her head.

“I’m great! I finally finished all the paperwork!” (Ava) She smiles brightly. Then, there was a growling sound coming from Ava. She quickly buries her face deeper into Tony’s chest with her bright red face. She felt embarrassed about it because she was probably doing something unladylike.

“Are you hungry?” Tony chuckled while stroking her soft, long hair.

“…Mm.” (Ava) She nodded.

“Why don’t we go get some lunch.” Everyone nods in agreement and heads toward the best place to eat.

12:43 PM Palace Hill balcony.

It’s one of the best places to have an outdoor great afternoon lunch and romantic dinner. With the fantastic sea and city scenery, Tony was proud to create the Hill balcony.

“Aahhhhhhh..Nom Nom Nom* Mmmmmnnnn! “Darling’s sweet is the best! What is this called?”(Ava) Everyone had already finished their main dish and now they are currently having desserts.

“Strawberry cheesecake.” Tony sliced and ate a small piece of Cheesecake. Kaguya and Karin also enjoyed the other cheesecake flavour.

“I agree. This is one of the best desserts.” (Karin) She enjoys the caramel flavour. Run likes triple chocolate, and Runa loves vanilla.

“Hehehehe. tastes like happiness.” (Run) Tony quietly chuckles at Run’s cuteness.

“So, Darling. What brings you here today?” (Ava) She hugs his arm while looking straight into his eyes.

“Course to see you, my beautiful princess.” He stares at her shiny jewel eyes and smiles

“Kyaaaaaaaa! Darrrllling! I love yooooooouuuu!!!” (Ava) She jumps onto Tony and kisses his face repeatedly. “Ok, why are you really here?” (Ava)

“For work. I want to ensure everything is perfect before the city opens. And there are a few things I need to show Karin and the others.“

“Oh yes. I heard from Kaguya-san about the parade event. I can’t wait to show my mother the city.“ (Ava) A few minutes later, a group of beastkin walked to Tony leading and Bearkin.

“Ohhhh, Bossss!“ (Kaoru) A bearskin beauty approaches while happily waving her hand.

“Hey. I haven’t seen you for a while.“

“That's because Boss’s training room is the best! It was so much fun fighting all kinds of battles! Hahahahaha!“ (Kaoru) She scratches back her head while happily laughing.

(“Total battle junkie has appeared, but she’s hot, so it ok.“) 

“Mm? Where Kuu?“

“Here, My Lord.“ (Kuu) She appears next to Tony while kneeling.

(“As expected from ninja. Making a blurred entrance.”)

“How is your village situation?” A few days ago, Kuu begged Tony to help her hidden village. When he heard the word hidden village, he immediately thought of a popular ninja anime. Kuu continued to tell Tony about her village. Kuu’s village is hidden on a deep mountain in the north of Beastkin's country and is nearly impossible to find. And thanks to the endless hoard of Deathspwan’s goal to destroy all life.  The village was in danger, and Kuu wanted to relocate the village to the Grand Sea Port City, but half of the villagers didn’t want to move. So, all Tony could do was send 100 war androids to defend the village while Kuu tried to convince the villagers to relocate. But those androids won’t last forever, which begs the question. How did these dead abominations keep spawning? Tony checks so many times and can’t find anything. At the same time, as a seek of knowledge. Tony finds the phenomenon fascinating.

“My lord. My village chief would like to speak to you.” (Kuu) Then, a figure appears on the knee next to Kuu. Everyone was quickly on alert, holding their weapons. Kaguya and Kaoru quickly stood guard over Tony and Ava.

“Pleasure to meet you, Tony-dono. My name is Fuma Satomi, and I am the chief of the Hidden Village.” (Satomi) She is a mature, seductive beauty. Long black hair, bright purple eyes and cherry lips. Look at her beast feature; she is either a black cat or a black panther.

“Ohhhhh, it is been a while…Satomi.” (Karin) There was a coldness in her tone.

“Karin-dono…….I’m glad to see you are well.” (Satomi) She smiles bitterly.

“Oh, both of you know each other?”

“Yes……..we have a bit of…………..history.” (Karin) She sounded a bit angry, and there was a minute of awkward silence.

“Coooooool. So Satomi-san wishes to speak to me?”

“I would like to express my gratitude to you for saving my granddaughter and my village.” (Satomi)

(”Granddaughter?”) Tony looks at Kuu and Satomi and concludes that they don’t resemble each other. Kuu was a legal loli (she is 28), and Satomi is hot milf or gilf.

“Tony-dono, you probably heard our current situation. A few days ago, we were swarmed by those monsters attacking our village, but we managed to survive with a few casualties thanks to our terrain. But we never expected them to return so quickly with their overwhelming numbers. In the second, they manage to break through the gate and start the chaos, but fortunately, Kuu and your steel warriors manage to save us all, and thanks to you, we manage to breathe easy for a bit. We quickly held an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis, and in the we hit a dead end. Then my granddaughter suggested that we relocate here to the Grand Seaport city, which resulted in an argument between the four clans of our village. Our village has four clans. Fuma, Ishikawa, Mochizuki and Hattori. My Fuma clan will relocate to this city, but those other three stubborn idiots won’t even consider moving even though they know that there is only death if they stay. In the end, they will move only……….if Tony-dono accept our conditions” (Satomi)

BANG* Karin slams her against the table in anger. “HOW DARE YOU SET A CONDITIONS TO YOUR SAVIOUR!! Satomi………… I’m truly disappointed in you for how far you have fallen.” (Karin) She was about to add more insults, but Tony raised his hand to stop.

“Karin……let her finish.” Karin quickly composed herself.

“Apologize, my Lord.” (Karin) Both Run and Runa were shocked to see their lord submit. Although she is usually a domineering person, she looks like a soft kitten.

“The conditions are one: to build a village the way we desire. Two, help us move all our belongings to the new village, and three, we are an independent force and shall not interfere with our business. If you agree to this condition, we will gladly move here.” (Satomi) Everyone can’t help but look down on Satomi and her ninja clans. They have the nerve to demand things from someone who is helping them.

“Tony-dono, I apologise on behalf of the audacity of the three other clans. In exchange for my village conditions, my Fuma clan will be to serve you and this city.” (Satomi) She bows her head. Every bearskin was surprised because they all knew that the ninja clan was famous for being a mercenary and never would join any factions. Even Karin, one of the strongest warlords of that time, never successfully convinces them to join her.

“Mmm….Are you willing to serve me because you want to, or are the other three clans sacrificing your clan or the conditions?”

“After hearing all the stories about you from Kuu, my gut is telling me it would be a great fortune to our clan if we serve you.” (Satomi)

“Ohhh…Karin told me that the great ninja clan only works in contracts and never serves under anyone. Why would you eager to serve me?”

Satomi smiles and looks directly into Tony’s eyes. “Because you have the power to rule the world.” (Satomi) All the beastkin and Karin finally understand why the village is so hard to obtain. Now, it all makes sense because these ninjas had very high standards.

“What about the other clans?”

“Those idiots didn’t believe in Kuu’s story, and they probably won’t serve under anyone since their pride is so high up in their asses. At the meeting, those three clan leaders decided that my Fuma clan should be the sacrifice for those countries. The funny thing is that they believed that we Fuma was unwilling, but we were actually.” (Satomi) She smiles and shrugs.

“Great! I wholeheartedly accept the deal and welcome the ninja village to the city.”

“Thank you, my Lord. My Fuma clan will serve you with all of our being.” (Satomi) She bows her head while kneeling.

“For now, you and Kuu will return to your village, inform them that I agree to their conditions, and get ready to be relocated tomorrow; I will come personally to help you move.”

“Yes, My Lord.” (Kuu and Satomi) They stand up and are ready to leave.

“Wait, don’t go yet. There is something I would like to show you before you both return to your village.” Tony gently lifts Ava off him and stands up.

“Darling, what are you going to show us?” (Ava)

“A lot of high-tech stuff for the security forces. Do you want to join?”

“Mmmm….I’ll pass, but I’ll be back to join in for the banquet.” (Ava)

“Oh, where are you going then?”

“I’m going to find Lenna-san and break the wall around her since she still me as a child.” (Ava) She cutely pouts.

“Oh, ok. Well, good luck then.”

“Ok, see you later, Darling.” (Ava) She gave him a big kiss. “Bye, everyone!” (Ava) After everyone said their farewell, Ava finally left.

Now, shall we go and see your new equipment?”
