In the capital market area managed and filled by commoners, the afternoon atmosphere seemed bustling as usual. However, that bustle instantly turned into its own commotion when Arvin began stepping his feet approaching several shops selling fabric rolls.
Without much bargaining or being picky, the blue-haired youth pointed at the rows of fabric they had and immediately bought them all without exception. Every shop he visited, he always bought out completely, until making the market area in an uproar again with the large-scale purchase.
He paid for all the fabric rolls he bought with gold coins in amounts far exceeding their normal price. He deliberately did that to help their economy.
This was an extraordinary surprise for the small merchants there. Because for the second time, all clothing and fabric shops in the capital received such a massive purchase from the exact same person.
"Young master!" exclaimed an old female merchant who was wrapping Arvin's order with trembling hands out of sheer happiness. "What are you buying this many fabric rolls for again?"
"Of course I will use them to make clothes!" Arvin answered casually with a friendly smile. "I have promised my spouses to make them new everyday clothes. That is why I bought out many fabric rolls from you."
All the merchants and people in the market who accidentally heard the answer coming out of the noble youth's mouth felt very amazed.
"Young master!" exclaimed a male merchant from the next shop. "With such capital and financial capability, why don't you open a business selling clothes in the capital? Wouldn't that become a huge source of profit for you?"
"I am not interested!" Arvin answered quickly, because he indeed had no interest at all in creating or managing a clothing shop. "If I open a large shop in the capital, certainly many small merchants like you will lose out in competition and suffer losses. Of course, I do not want to destroy the businesses and livelihoods you have developed for a long time."
That sincere answer they had just heard successfully made all the merchants in the market fall silent for a moment. Their hearts were touched. Their respect soared high, making them increasingly, increasingly, and increasingly admire the figure of the young noble who had previously freed them from the extortion of the market thugs.
This was the very first time in their lives they saw a high-class noble who cared so much about the condition of the commoners. The youth was not selfish at all, even though the Young Master of Vedegra descent was very capable of monopolizing the market if he wanted to open a clothing shop in the capital.
....
After being satisfied with shopping and putting everything into his dimensional storage, Arvin walked home to his mansion.
Along the journey, happy and joyful feelings continued to well up inside him.
I can't wait to sew and make nice clothes for the three of them and also Yonna. Arvin thought in his heart while imagining their cute smiles.
Arriving at the mansion, his arrival was immediately welcomed very enthusiastically by his four spouses who had just finished their heavy training session. Sweat could still be seen wetting their temples.
"How were the results of your training today?" Arvin asked while walking towards them in the living room.
"I thoroughly understand how strengthening magic while minimizing mana usage works!" Allen answered enthusiastically. His eyes sparkled full of satisfaction. "But, the thing that surprised me the most is, I never expected that if the magic circle is overlaid and aligned with another attack magic circle, it would become some kind of mana suppressor that stops me from wasting my mana anymore when using magic!"
"I can also understand it well!" Ordion replied, not wanting to be outdone, his gaze radiating a burning spirit. "The destructive power of my magic increased drastically and became very lethal. No wonder Alrain was so very strong when the two of us were sparring. Hehehe."
"I am very grateful to be able to learn with him today!" Alvein chimed in with full happiness. "I was able to learn a completely new magic formula here. I am very happy to be able to become stronger again."
Hearing the answers and the rapid development of his three spouses who were trained directly by Alrain, Arvin felt very relieved and proud of them at the same time.
"You guys are great. But remember this one basic thing, magic at its core is imagination!" Arvin explained while raising his right hand to demonstrate his magic structure.
Above his palm, an ice crystal slowly appeared. The crystal did not just stay still, but kept moving and then he changed it into various geometric shapes very smoothly. Starting from a cube shape, transforming into a perfect circle, sharpening into a triangle, splitting into a semi-circle, elongating into a cone, and various other shapes.
The same went for the other magic elements which he alternately demonstrated in front of them with absolute and precise control.
Allen, Ordion, and Alvein widened their eyes. They felt very amazed seeing the demonstration of the other eight magic elements flowing so naturally from their husband's hand.
"Combining two or more elements can also be done, just like Alrain who uses his wind and lightning elements simultaneously!" Arvin continued explaining, slowly dispersing the elements in his hand. "Just imagine all the elements you master flowing and combining into one point. But, don't forget, you must still maintain the balance so it doesn't collapse or explode."
"Then, how do you balance those opposing elements?" Allen asked very enthusiastically, his eyes sparkling impatiently for further guidance from his husband.
"I will teach you how to do it gradually later!" Arvin answered casually while smiling at their spirit. "For now, your bodies are full of sweat. Let's take a bath together to clean ourselves before Yonna comes home from her workplace."
"Let's take a bath together!" the four of them answered in unison.
However, a few moments later inside the large bathtub, the atmosphere instantly changed. The warm and happy feelings that had previously welled up in Arvin's heart, now slowly changed drastically into a frustrating feeling that cornered him.
His four spouses openly began to sulk. They felt very dissatisfied because they couldn't freely act affectionate with only one of Arvin's body amidst the four of them.
"My Husband!" Allen exclaimed in dissatisfaction while tightly hugging Arvin's left arm in the water. "When will you master that cloning magic? I am truly dissatisfied if I have to continuously queue and fight for your attention like this!"
"He is right, My Love!" Alrain chimed in, feeling the same dissatisfaction while leaning his body on his husband's chest. "If you are already able to split yourself, the four of us would definitely be able to act affectionately and hug you to our heart's content here fairly!"
"Hahh...." Ordion let out a long sigh full of dissatisfaction, looking at Arvin with a pleading gaze from his right side. "Must the four of us always be patient waiting for our turn if we want to make love and also be affectionate with you every day?"
"Honey!" Alvein suddenly exclaimed. The silver-haired fairy who didn't want to be left behind immediately stood up in front of his husband. Water dripped from his slender body. He also felt very dissatisfied because he hadn't gotten his turn for a touch. "Can you find that magic book faster? Please give us satisfaction right away. Look! My shaft is already erect like this just by seeing you naked!"
Receiving such a barrage of aggressive demands and blatant demonstration, Arvin immediately fell completely silent. He truly couldn't answer the dissatisfaction from his four spouses who were currently crowding around him.
I am also confused about where else to start looking! Arvin screamed in his heart, feeling very frustrated with his dead-end situation. I also completely didn't expect that the magic book wasn't in the royal library! I am truly stressed seeing their pouting expressions demanding me like this!
