Chapter 42. Free reward

I couldn't see any reason to refuse Zeldi on her idea of making Tilty into a sculpture. She was frozen and still alive almost like she was in cryosleep. This ment we didn't have to feed her and I also wasn't oppose to the view. She was a bitch but she did have a nice body to look at.

"See something you like Master?" Zeldi taunted as she circled the new Tilty statue with me still on her back.

"Well you definitely have her beat in certain places." I answered reaching around to pat the underside of her boobs. "But I would have loved if she would have joined us as a proper livestock."

"Same. She was a pain in my hindquarters but she does have a body that I would have loved to explore."

Zeldi stopped her circling behind Tilty and it became obvious my little mare was staring at her ass. I joined her in admiring the architecture and was surprised to see Tilty had a small tail that reminded me of a doe. She was also a lot furrier than I expected with everything from the waist down being almost deer-like.

[Do you like sister Zeldi?]

"Oh I love it" Zeldi answered Tarakona. "This way I get all of the good and I don't even need to hear her voice. I think when we get the lamia to build our house this should be the main entrance room art decoration."

Ah. The lamia. Do you think he will still want to build the house even with Tilty as she is now? Do we even want to wait?

I went through my options for house's in my shop and winced. They were very good options and would be built instantly.

Hey land or whatever you are. What do you think would be the best option for a home that can easily fit my current livestock and any future ones? I don't want to waste this reward if there is a better option I'm overlooking.

I didn't get a verbal answer but one of the houses turned purple.

Livestock home.

It was one of the smallest houses based on its picture but was in the top three for price. I was very surprised this was what the land had picked as it was sitting at just under a million Farm Points and the next one in the list was a full on mansion that might just fit Tarakona in her dragon form...

Do I discard the lands choice?

No that would be stupid. It did say we needed to grow together so there shouldn't be any reason to not follow it's advice. Though it was a lot of faith I was putting in this.

That just left me with two problems if I did pick that house however.

One. Tarakona's food situation. Sure hunting would be good but if she's only got a limited time then I will need the automatic butcher at some point to avoid her hunting everything to extinction. So the question there is can Tarakona hunting for herself last long enough for me to acquire the one thousand points needed? I'm also going to include getting this set up as a priority in case any future producers are carnivores.

Two. The lamia clan. Are they happy with a fawn-popsicle? This one is less important as if I was to buy the house now then I only really need them to rebuild the barn, and if they refuse well trespassing will keep them out.

And while not a problem if I use this quest reward I can get a new quest.

"Fuck it. Why not." I said aloud as Zeldi was trying to discuss the best location to store Tilty with Tarakona.

[Are we mating again Master?]

"Not today." Zeldi answered the dragon while giving me a pointed look.

I raised my hands in defense. "No I was just thinking an my quest reward. The one where I could get anything."

Both girls quietened down and looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"I think I should buy a house with it. That way we have it now and can actually start living in our own spaces."

"But we like you in our space." Zeldi was quick to reply with.

"And I doubt I will be going anywhere else but just having our own rooms to decorate would be good for our mental health." I answered getting off Zeldi's back so I could look at her properly. "I will probably be spending most of my nights with you girls but having somewhere to store my own stuff so it doesn't clutter up your space would be good."

Zeldi let out a whine but nodded. "I guess so."

[I doubt I will spend much time in my own room if it cannot accommodate my size either. While I do love Masters attention I much prefer this body when he's not trying to get inside me.]

"Fine." Zeldi let out in a huff. "Just want about Tarakona's food? Has that been taken into account?"

"Tomorrow I will be purchasing the upgrade that will allow her to leave so that should help for now. But for a long term plan I will be getting the automatic butcher afterwards so that we can feed her ourselves. It will also help if any future producers are carnivores."

At the mention of future producers Zeldi immediately snapped to attention.

"I guess you have it all planned out then." She said trying to play off how much that thought excited her. It was still amusing to me that she was more interested in gathering more girls than I was. Not that I wasn't of course but making sure those I already had didn't want to leave was my priority. Then I'd look for more.

"Okay then." I said with a smile reaching a hand around to scratch around her ears. "Where would you like this house to go then?"

[How about close to the stream. It would allow for bathing to be closer and I've already started on giving us more privacy for when sister Zeldi wants to be milked out in the open.]

"And for you to wonder around in your draconian form naked without Master getting jealous of someone seeing." Zeldi added but didn't refuse the area.

[Maybe.]

"Then if that's the case can you take me up Tarakona? That way I can get a birds eye view of the area. Or a dragon's eye view in this case." I asked both because it would be helpful but also because dragon riding.

[I would love that. Would you like to join Zeldi?]

Zeldi looked down at her hooves before shaking her head. "I think I'd like to stay on the ground."

"That's fair. Then do you want to go stand on the porch just in case I decide to put it somewhere else?" I offered giving her an out so Tarakona didn't push.

Zeldi nodded and started making her way in that direction before coming back and throwing Tilty over her shoulder. Part of the Fawn had started to melt so it would need to be reapplied but I think Zeldi would use that opportunity to put her in different positions. Can't say I expected this outcome but I had to agree with my head mare that she was good to look at. Kinda a shame she chose this outcome.

[Ready Master?]

Tarakona had placed her head on the ground close to where I was for me to get on. I had thought about getting on her back but between the spicks and scales her head was going to be the best option. Plus I would be able to see more from up there.

"Sure." I replied going behind her cheek to use the spicks there as a form of makeshift ladder. It wasn't perfect and even when I got into position on her head it wasn't going to be too comfortable. "If I didn't have invulnerability I probably wouldn't be doing this."

[Do not worry Master. I will make sure you don't fall.]

That wasn't as reassuring as she thought it was. I grabbed the biggest one of her head spicks and held on for deer life.

"Ready!" I called out before I lost the nerve to.

Tarakona seemed to understand but instead of taking it slow like I had expected her to, she instead launched herself into the air from the ground without needing to get a running start or anything. I may have let out a few choice words at that before realizing I needed to hold on a lot tighter than I was currently.

Before I could even figure out how I wanted to growl my dragon she gave a final flap of her wings then kept them open with her head at the apex of her ascension. Frost seemed to flow off her scales in a way that definitely screamed magic as I realized we were hovering in the air.

[Beautiful isn't it Master?]

Tarakona pointed her head to show off the land from this altitude but I might have been a bit spoiled for views like this in my old world. Instead I was staring at Tarakona herself as she effortlessly held her body still in the air.

"Yes it is."

[So over there is where I think the house should go.]

Even without moving it was obvious where she was referring to as the stream coming through my land had been changed completely by her excavation. It was almost full and could almost me called a small lake at this point, but by far the best part was the wall Tarakona had built to give herself some privacy. The privacy wall continued even past where the small lake drained off my land onto a small flat area that had been packed down by a great weight but also flattened.

[I was originally planning to ask you if I could build my lair there but thought I better not in case I froze the stream. Though the flattened land would be perfect for a house now.]

Another thing to add to my growing list. A lair for Tarakona. She couldn't just stay outside all the time, then again she could just turn into her draconian form to come inside. The only problem there is that she can't lay eggs unless she's in full dragon mode. A problem if we wanted to buy more stuff.

I let out an small groan at the oversight on my part before looking at my land as a whole. I'd seen it from underneath when I'd died so it wasn't unfamiliar and it was a good size especially for Zeldi and myself as we could easily have fitted her entire village and not even taken up half of it. But to someone of Tarakona's size it wasn't that big. Even without a food problem she would need the ability to leave just to stretch her wings out properly.

Shaking that thought away I accepted the quest reward for the house the land had advised getting a green outline of the house in question that turned red as it came in contact with uneven terrain. Yet another thing that reminded me of a video game.

Up this high it was easy to position it with the front door opening onto the small lake as a kind of lakeside view while the back was pointing towards the wall. I was a little disappointed in the size of the house as it seemed a little small still. I was hoping it would have been bigger than the picture but that didn't appear to be correct.

The area Tarakona had flattened was easily twice her body length but the house was only half her size. Only slightly bigger than Zeldis current house.

[That's it?]

Even she was surprised.

"Yeah. Think I might have been duped by this but we'll give it a look before we give out final verdict." I said trying to hold on to some hope.

Tarakona growled and barely gave me enough time to grab hold of her horns again before breaking her hovering and dividing towards the ground. Again I wanted to yell at her but nothing came out of my mouth as the ground came up with all the enthusiasm of a kid wanting a hi five.

Fortunately the landing was a lot smoother with Tarakona using her wings as breaks to slow our descent before flying in a circle around the hose to see what it looked like.

Still average.

I mean it looked like it was made of some fine quality wood but the size was just..... How was I supposed to fit a harem in it let alone Tarakona?

Zeldi met us on the ground with about the same reaction as Tarakona had. I shook hy head and jumped off my dragon hoping that this wasn't some elaborate joke and this house did have something I didn't notice otherwise I'd be having a stern conversation with the land about wasting resources.

One way to find out.
