The following day arrived, and I could see everyone awake. All of them got comfortable to the point of playing with my body while I was asleep.

After hanging out with them for a few hours, I checked on Nekomaru. Nekomaru was still sleeping soundly. The stress from yesterday night did a lot to him. I would have let him sleep longer if I were a decent person.

With him sleeping soundly, I played a siren alarm on my watch, making Nekomaru jump out of bed due to fright. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me with a dazed expression.

His eyes widened as he processed what had just happened. Fear could be seen in his eyes. He was overreacting. I wasn't going to do anything to him as I only wanted to wake him up.

"We are leaving. So the house gotta go."

Man, the cat people had traits that made it easier to tell how they think. Like Nene, Nekomaru's ears and tail were a tell. He looked devastated hearing the house was going away.

"Look. I will tell you what. I'll take you with me if you have experience caring for minotaurs."

"My wife has a lot of experience in doing so!"

"I didn't expect a pussy like you to have a wife."

Nekomaru was proud that he had a wife. The word pussy didn't seem like an insult to her. He probably thought I meant that I saw he was a cat.

"Very well. If you can convince your wife to follow you, come back in an hour. I'll be leaving then."

Nekomaru stormed off to call his wife. He had felt the luxury of spices from the food. He had felt a toilet that was modernized. And finally, the bed he touched was like heaven, taking him to a peaceful haven. His life had changed in a blink of an eye.

Going back to the living, everyone in the house was there.

"What got him so excited?"

"I offered Nekomaru to come with me if he could take care of a minotaur. Nene and I love eating meat."

Answering Reina's question, I could see Nene's eyes glimmer. Rose also looked surprised by what I had done, but it was a welcome surprise.

"What's minotaur meat?"

Courtney was the only one oblivious. Did Gaia never have minotaur's meat? I'll definitely feed it to her.

"Have you eaten steak? It's an improved version of that."

No one disliked steak. Courtney nodded, also wanting in. With what I had said, no one here objected to my plan, and an hour later, Nekomaru had his wife and two kids.

"I didn't expect you to have kids this big."

Nekomaru and his wife looked like they were in their twenties. As for their children, the youngest is ten, while the oldest should be twelve.

"We, the black cat tribe, start to age slowly once we reach our prime."

"Nene. It looks like we will spend a lot of time in bed."

My dirty joke had affected some people in the room. Nene gave me a lustful smile. Courtney, who looked the most innocent, reacted the most by blushing.

Other than that, Nekomaru and his wife gave a wry smile. Their children didn't know the meaning behind my words and stared at me silently.

"Before we go, let me find some minotaur."

Finding a group of ten minotaurs, I sent them to me. Everyone but Nene and Rose were surprised by the sudden appearance of these beasts. Their loud noise was annoying. I put them to sleep so my ears wouldn't burst.

"Woah!!!"

The children's eyes shone when I easily brought down these minotaurs. These kids aren't too bad, but I wouldn't want to stay close to them.

As for my mobile house, I also bought a teleporter for my house. With a lot of traveling, it helps a lot to have a way to travel home instantly.

The teleporter brought us outside of my house. The family of four couldn't help but be amazed by the island we lived on.

"Amazing, ain't it?"

"..."

They had no words by the sight they had laid upon. To them, this view they're looking at was something they would've never imagined.

"Nene, Reina, could you get someone to build a farm for these minotaurs?"

Reina was helpful in these situations, and Nene, who wanted this the most, should be able to help in any way. Asking these two should be fine.

"Let's show you to your room."

Since they're working for me, it would only be right if they were housed preferably. On the way to their room, everyone we passed by introduced themselves to Nekomaru.

This house was too breathtaking for their family. As country bumpkins, they couldn't take their eyes off anything. If they were like this at my house, I wonder how they would react once they head outside.

Now that there were two children in this house, I could only pray that nothing could go wrong. I erased all their misfortune, fearing for my life.

Heading to the rooms, I gave Nekomaru's family two rooms. Each room should be comfortable for two people.

"Bella, if you don't mind, show them how everything works. They're new to Earth's technology."

"Nekomaru, you and your wife will start working once the farm is finished. So expect to work at any time. Here's your salary."

I'm not wasting my time being a guide. Their pay would be two thousand dollars per week. Leaving them to their own devices, I went to my room with Courtney and Rose.

"Master, I'm surprised you let kids in your place. You have that personality of someone that despises them."

"I do. But looking at them, I decided to give them a chance."

The kids from Nekomaru's family looked disciplined, or timid was the right word. They had probably seen what I did to Gram with their initial fear of me.

"Yeah... I decided to give them a chance..."

I must be going crazy.

"Rose, Courtney. Let's get a drink."
