Zipping through my town was actually really fun. Raising the morale of the residents was not needed here. I created all of them to serve me. They were inherently loyal to me as the Sage. Still, I wanted to be good to them. I was not Limerick Jill. Being better than her was great. It was a huge moral victory that I would take to the bank. The samurai commander that caused problems returned to the town. When Ichigo, Niko and Santa approached him, he peaceably asked to speak to me. My Protectors were not wild, mindless killers. I was thinking about the Omega Warriors. They brought him to me with no delay. He was not in the gear that he had previously. The really somber commander's name was Maruyama Tsukasa. His name was pretty cool. 丸 (Maru) means "round" or "circular," and 山 (Yama) means "mountain." Being near the mountain range. Together, it translates to "round mountain" or "gently sloping hill." When parents choose 司, they usually wish for the child to become a capable leader, someone reliable, responsible, and respected who can guide or take charge of others. Cool.
Listening to him, I learned that he was fired. Gorotama, the lord's son, fired him and caused him to be banished. As a samurai, he could not accept losing his master. The exile was worse than death in terms of honor. Tsukasa was now just a ronin. "In order to restore my honor, I must defeat you. If I fail, I will commit seppuku." he informed me. That was actually very concerning. Seppuku was a ritual suicide. I did not want that to happen to a cool NPC like him. "I understand. Give me until midnight to prepare. I was not aware something this serious might occur." He nodded his head and began to walk away from me. I called out to him. Tsukasa stopped, but he did not turn to face me. He was a man on a mission. His focus was admirable. "You do know that if you lose, you will be honor-bound to do a task for me, correct?" I asked. He did not speak for a moment. He eventually asked "What is it?" It was clear that he was expecting to die or slink away to kill himself after the fight. Smirking, I told him "I will tell you if you lose." Tsukasa gave me another pause. "Very well. If I lose, I will do the task."
Very soon, we would have something amazing. I just had to work on it. My Protectors told me how strong Tsukasa was. He was level 13. That was actually a pretty good level for a human warrior NPC. Level 20 was the average level for a rank of general. Tsukasa was a young man still. He had the time to grow and reach that amount of strength. If he did not go killing himself, that was. For these plans I wanted to work, I needed one more protector. It was another omega male. This one had a big 100% increase to fertility. Whenever they got pregnant, they would have at least 2 children. I made them level 60, but he only had novice skills with a katana. His suite of skills were alchemy, herbalism and cooking. He was a master in those things. He was a cocky and bratty young man who was specifically attracted to alpha males. He loved power bottoming as part of his bratting. For stages 1-3 of his mating minigame, there were only grinds at normal tempo. Stage 4 was only thrusts. Stage 5 was double tempo. Stage 6 was thrust, 2 pumps and another thrust. Stage 7 was pump, grind, pump, thrust.
