Chapter 48 The Dominator’s Newfound Power
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Days just kept sailing by as I took care of Liliarette’s needs, both up close and personal. I was living some seriously intense days with the two sisters. Every single night, the three of us slept together, and sometimes I’d have the girls transform into their Magical Girl forms to spend those nights.
Since their looks and body shapes were so different, it honestly felt like I was living with four women at the same time. Not that we were doing the deed every single night, but well, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say it was almost every night. Cleonora and the others needed their rest, sure, but I needed mine too, ya know?
The speed of earning Resource Points had picked up considerably compared to before, and because of that, a big change came a whole lot faster.
”Whoa… I can level up now!” I cried out.
”That’s so great! Let’s get it done right away!” Cleonora chimed in excitedly.
That was it. This very morning, during my usual routine check inside the Great Phantasmal Soulstone room, I saw that I could spend the Resource Points we had accumulated to raise my Quester Level. Luckily, we didn’t have anything else pressing to make right now. Using the Resource Points here wouldn’t cause any major issues.
”Uh… is it okay for us to keep Aion-san and the others maintained?” I worried a little.
”They don’t really cost that much to keep up in the first place, so it’s fine! And even if it wasn’t, we could just make new ones, silly!” Ami-chan dismissed, waving a hand.
Hmm, I thought, if Ami-chan says so, then I guess it’s alright. Besides, raising the Quester Level also meant a boost to the Magical Girls’ base stats. I’d be able to do more things myself, and our overall fighting strength would increase, too. It was a win-win, really.
”Okay then… level up it is!” I declared, and as I performed the action, a map unfurled in the operation window, confirming that my Dominion had expanded. It felt like the outer perimeter had grown just a little bit.
”Did it not get very much bigger?” I wondered.
”The outer edge isn’t going to explode outward like it did at the start,” Cleonora explained, “Even this amount is a pretty significant increase in area, you know?”
”That’s true,” I mused.
It made sense; the more the domain grew, the longer the outer perimeter became. She let me know that from this point on, the perimeter wouldn’t dramatically expand with every level.
”Forget the boundary, let’s check out the new stuff we can make and our stats!” Ami-chan urged, pulling me along.
”Got it,” I nodded.
Checking the list of creatable items, I found a bunch of minor miscellaneous goods I could now produce. The clothing options had also increased, though I still couldn’t make anything as luxurious as the expensive-looking dress Liliarette had been wearing. I also noticed a slight addition of vegetables to the food ingredients list.
”Wait… there’s a Kitchen Set?” I asked, surprised.
”Really? Lemme see!” Ami-chan leaned in, curious.
It looked like a simplified version of the kitchen commonly seen in Japanese homes. Handily, it came with a knife, cutting board, and a stove.
”Huh… it’s got a sink too, so we can use water,” I observed.
”That’s convenient! If we have ingredients, we can cook here!” Cleonora exclaimed.
Using fire and water would consume Resource Points. I figured it was like paying for electricity, gas, and water. Creating the set would cost a decent amount of Resource Points. It was a desirable feature, but if I was going to make it, I wanted to upgrade our current house as well.
The houses we had built so far only had simple furniture, making them easy to tear down. But a house with a built-in kitchen and toilet wouldn’t be so easy to demolish; the waste of Resource Points would be too painful. Alternatively, I could build a separate little hut just for the kitchen, similar to how I did the toilet, a little further away. This way, if we replaced the main house, we wouldn’t have to rebuild the kitchen, too.
”No way… this is…!” I suddenly gasped.
”What is it? …Ah.” Ami-chan trailed off as she followed my gaze.
While I was deep in thought about the kitchen, I checked the creatable list again, and one item caught my eye: 〈Bath〉. This was the one thing I had been waiting for all this time. I immediately checked the details.
”This… this is going to consume a crazy amount of Resource Points, isn’t it?” I muttered, seeing the numbers.
The bath, like the house, could be customized with various features: the type and size of the bathtub, where the hot water came out, and even the showerhead and towel rack could be adjusted precisely. From the options, it looked like I could set it up in either a Western or a Japanese style. I could even make it wooden, like a public bathhouse, with an opening near the ceiling for ventilation, creating a space where one could truly relax.
However, the Resource Point consumption was absurd. Just adding my ideal features quickly demanded more points than I had saved up so far. With my current earning rate, the bath I could make would have to be very, very modest. Furthermore, using the bath’s amenities, like the hot water, would consume Resource Points every time, just like the kitchen.
”Shoot… it looks like doing this right now… is going to be tough,” I sighed, disappointed.
”We’ll just have to work hard and earn more!” Cleonora encouraged me.
One day, I wanted to build a massive bath with a waterfall cascading into it. I knew the maintenance cost alone would probably require the Resource Points equivalent to several high-performance maids, but a man can dream, can’t he?
After quickly scanning the list of creatable items, I checked my own status.
[CLASS NAME: Dominator〈Quester〉 Level 4]
[Ego Skills: 〈Rear-Climax〉, 〈Affection Surge – Rear〉, 〈Oral Apphrodisiac – Light〉]
[Slave of Love Skill: 〈Malediction of Submission〉]
[Dominator Skills: 〈Water Splendor Flash〉, 〈Color Change〉, 〈Vault 1〉, 〈Land of Blessing〉, 〈Domain Alert〉]
”A new skill is… 〈Domain Alert〉? Ami-chan, what’s this for?” I asked, pointing to the screen.
”It’s a skill that lets you sense any suspicious people who invade your Dominion!” she explained.
”Oh, wow… that sounds incredibly useful,” I admitted.
〈Domain Alert〉 could apparently pinpoint the exact location where an intruder entered the domain. It could also be finely tuned to specify the targets of the alert. Testing it out, I saw I could set demon monsters as targets. With enough fine-tuning, I could even set it to alert me to tiny insects. Since I wouldn’t get anything done by being alerted to every tiny bug, I set the alert targets to 〈demon monster〉 and 〈Humans without Contact〉.
Having checked my own status changes, I moved on to my two Magical Girls.
[Cursed Kill—Eme-rald]
[Height: 142]
[Bust Size: B]
[Class: Spellcaster〈Curse Maker〉]
[Attribute: Curse]
[Weapon: Pretty Stick〈Curse〉]
[Attack Power: Promising]
[Defense: A little shaky]
[Mobility: Not bad]
[Magic Power: Amazing]
The descriptions were still just as vague as ever… and it didn’t look like much had changed. Well, if they were displayed numerically, I might see the subtle differences, I reasoned.
[Subduing—Sardonyx]
[Height: 149]
[Bust Size: A]
[Class: Guardian Knight〈Guardian〉]
[Attribute: None]
[Weapon: Magical Saber〈None〉]
[Attack Power: So-so]
[Defense: High]
[Mobility: Improved]
[Magic Power: Pretty good]
Not much change here either… and wait, Sard-chan was taller than Eme-chan? I hadn’t noticed that.
In any case, having raised my Quester Level meant an increase in the number of choices I had. While it was still impossible to develop the entire domain, I figured there were now more things I could easily convert into Resource Points.
”Yes, yes. It warms my heart to see us growing so smoothly!” Cleonora said, pleased. “It’s about time we left the forest and went to kidnap some other girls who might be Magical Girl candidates from a different town!”
”That’s a bit of a dangerous way to put it!” I protested. “Well, Magical Girls are incredibly strong combatants, so increasing their numbers is definitely a priority, but…”
”But that’s just an excuse to find more females who will whisper sweet nothings to you and let you plant your seed whenever you want, right?” Ami-chan teased, having completely seen through me.
Sh-She’s completely seen right through me…, I thought sheepishly. Well, I’d managed to secure daily intimate encounters with the royal sisters, so I hoped I could be forgiven for wanting to get a little carried away and expand my harem.
”If we have Eme-rald carry us, getting out of the forest is easy peasy,” Ami-chan continued. “And we can ask Sardonyx to stay behind and guard the place!”
I hadn’t told Liliarette about the Great Phantasmal Soulstone yet because she wasn’t a 〈Slave of Love〉. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust her, but this was the most important secret in the whole domain. Ami-chan was right; it was best not to tell anyone who wasn’t a 〈Slave of Love〉. Even if she was just left behind to guard, she could easily chase away any demon monsters that entered the domain. In that case, leaving the forest wasn’t impossible at all.
”That’s a good idea, but… I think I’ll go back to Japan first. We have enough Ego Points saved up for the trip, right?” I asked.
”Enough for a round trip is no problem!” Cleonora assured me. “But you’re right. We can use the Treasury now, and considering the pursuers, going back to Japan right now is a good move!”
There were a lot of things I wanted to bring back from Japan. I also wanted to check the Resource Point conversion efficiency. With my plan set, I told Cleonora and the others that I would be returning to Japan tomorrow. That night, the three of us spent a very intense time together.

Summary:
Shouichi’s Dominator level hit four, unlocking new features and the crucial Domain Alert skill to keep intruders out. He got excited about building a luxury kitchen and the long-awaited Bath, but the cost of the grand version was too steep, setting a new Resource Point goal. With his powerful Magical Girls ready, they debated expanding their numbers, but ultimately decided on a strategic return to Japan to stock up and test conversion rates, ending the night with an intense, three-way celebration of their progress.

Character Insight:
Shouichi’s practical side (checking stats, optimizing Resource Points) is constantly battling with his core desire for comfort and pleasure (the fantasy bath, the growing harem). The sisters are a unified front, Cleonora providing rational support and Amilia providing mischievous encouragement toward his hedonistic goals, highlighting their unwavering loyalty.

Behind the Scene:
This chapter is a strategic checkpoint. The level-up legitimizes Shouichi’s progress. The high cost of the bath and kitchen is a plot device to reinforce the need for continuous resource grinding, keeping the adventurer loop going. The discussion of the harem and the decision to go to Japan set up the next major arc: exploiting the interdimensional link and potential encounters outside the Dominion.
Notes:
• Liliarette – The other Princess, who sacrificed her ability to walk and her sorcery talent to save her sister, Cleonora. She is imprisoned in the East Tower and is being used as a political and monetary pawn by Viorga. C-cup, true golden hair, waist-length hair, the fringe was a slightly blunt, hair on her left side was braided to the chest.
• Cleonora – The second princess. Have a yellow blonde hair. Usually styled as hairbun.
• Aion – The maid golem. She has chestnut-brown hair and and a well-featured, but utterly expressionless, face. Looks like Karakuri from certain series.
• Ami – A palm-sized fairy-like being from a world separate from both Earth and the isekai realm. She has light blue hair tied in a ponytail, mischievous blue eyes, and tiny wings that flutter behind her. Her outfit consists of a provocative high-cut leotard and a short jacket that looks like a miniskirt from the back, leaving her legs bare. Despite her playful appearance, she is actively searching for a contractor who can protect her from dangerous pursuers in exchange for the powers she offers.
