## Summary

Using magic, Ru helps out by putting lights in the toilet and other places. Hiraku had almost given up on finding salt, but Ru explains that one of the layers in the soil is mostly salt and is surprised he didn't notice while did all that digging. Hiraku checks on his fruit garden, but guesses it takes more time for them to grow up than the veggies.

Zabuton rings the alarm and Hiraku wonders what is going on. He goes with Ru to check out, only to find another girl being captured by the spiders and the dogs. She apologizes for attacking them and asks Hiraku for help. As he releases her, she uses magic to heal herself. She then notices Ru and realizes she was hiding in the forest and wants to capture her, but the dogs attack her again.

Hiraku takes the girl and Ru back to his place. Ru explains she was in the same situation. The dogs are quite ruthless and magic doesn't really affect them, as they can also dodge spells. The girl wonders who is Hiraku and blushing, Ru explains he is her husband. The girl the introduces herself as Tia, an angel. Hiraku guesses that she serves God, but Ru explains that Angels are a race of warriors, who have more muscle than brains. Hiraku wonders why Tia is chasing Ru and Tia explains Ru has a bounty due to the damage she caused in the town. Ru is always researching strange medicines and concoctions, and as soon as something bothers her, she starts blowing things up. Ru state states that only happened once because the nobles were so demanding and needed to be taught a lesson, and it was an accident and finally admitted she went a little too far. She also explains that Tia is a bit stronger than her, which is why she ran into the forest. Tia is surprised that Ru is admitting her weaknesses, and Ru explains its because she realizes how weak she is after facing the dogs. Ru offers Tia to live with them, guessing she will like it. Tia agrees and Ru takes her around to show her the crops. They spend the day harvesting some veggies and Hiraku gives Tia to try some, which she ends up liking.

After a few days, Tia asks Hiraku if they can grow more strawberries. Hiraku explains they can, but even if they expand, they won't be able to keep up with the harvesting of everything. Tia realizes that they indeed can use more hands. Hiraku also notes that even if they do manage to harvest all, they may not be able to eat it all. Hiraku sees that kuroichi, Kuroni, Kurosan and Kuroyon also have three to four children now and the dog family has grown quite a bit. Soon they will grow and go find themselves partners. Ru realizes that means they will become even more, causing Hiraku to realize the hut he build them won't be big enough. Hiraku then decides to build a Dog Area next to the Orchard. Hiraku still haven't named the new pups as they are too many and he has a hard time thinking of names. Hiraku then sees Zabuton's children leaving, but sees some of them decided to stay. Tia tells Hiraku that she will be gone for a while and flies away.

Few days later, Tia returns with a bunch of high elf girls. The elves introduces themselves as Lea, Leef, Lecott, leezay, Leely, Leeta and Lees. Hiraku notices they are all "Le"'s and Lea explains its because they are all related. They came per Tia's suggestion and would like to live here. Tia states they have a sad backstory. They used to live in a village in the north, but most of their people got wiped out after they got dragged into the war of the humans. Their race had scattered and since then they have been wandering the land looking for a new home. Ru also suggest they to take the girls as she heard that the high elves are talented race. She guesses they are still young and Lea states she is the oldest, a bit over 400 years, while Lees is the youngest, a bit over 300 years old. Tia and Ru insist and Hiraku agrees as long as they can get along with the rest of the roommates. Lea wonders who are the roommates and Ru introduces Zabuton and the dogs, which causes the girls to faint.

As the elves wanted to live together, Hiraku decided to build them one big house. The elves know more about construction and Hiraku decides to follow their orders while they are building the house, and mostly just digs and brings them lumber. After ten days the house is complete. Its quite big and Ru and Tia are impressed. Hiraku feels jealous, but has no learned the elves techniques and considers rebuilding his hut. The elves house has one big living room where they can all gather and dine. To each side of the living room, they have storage rooms. On the second floor, they have individual rooms. Hiraku is surprised to learn that the elves also eat meat and use fire. His image for elves is that they wake up with sunrise and go to sleep when the sun goes down; they are one with the nature and love the tree; they eat mostly berries and refuse to wear any metal. Lea tells Hiraku to not underestimate the forest as if you try to live like that, you will die quite fast. Lea explains they plan on doing some mining and blacksmithing work, but first they need to build up a furnace that can melt iron. Hiraku is surprised as in his image, that was a dwarfs work. Soon they build a furnace and start producing things. Having a metal pan, Hiraku gets excited, feeling his civilization is advancing and guesses the elves can do anything. Lea states are some things they couldn't do, like settle down and reproduce. Hiraku states they already achieve one of those things, but decides to not say anything about the second seeing how they were looking and smiling at him.

The elves had seen there is a wheat field and Hiraku explains they have harvested it and turned it into flour. Lees then asks if they can make some bread, showing that they have a jar with yeast and Hiraku happily accepts. As they enjoy some bread, Hiraku guesses its time to expand the wheat field. But in that moment he realizes something and asks Ru if this land belongs to anyone. Ru explains no one owns the forest, but it technically under the control of the demon lord. Hearing that, Hiraku starts to worry and wonders if the demon lord will have something against it, but Ru assures him that since he build this himself, the land belongs to him.

Tia, Ru and Lea are amazed by Hiraku as not only he tamed the Inferno Wolves, but a demon spider too. The crops are also amazing and Lea wonders if the soil here is actually that good for them to grow that well. But its surprising how he lacks knowledge about the world around him. He had wrong impression on what elves were and had no idea what angels are, so the girls conclude its more than just lacking some knowledge. Meanwhile, Hiraku is in his hut and makes a wooden cup. He realizes he haven't progressed his waterway in a while and wonders if the girls will help.
