Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch

Chapter 382 Eyes in the Sky

"Amazing...! To think the President is also skilled in crafting!"

She clapped her hands energetically as I finished facetting another pink diamond. Honestly, it wasn't that hard with proper knowledge and skills.

"If we can procure more of that tool, then for sure, even normal artisans could show passable enough articles!"

Millinda must be exaggerating here. Passable? I, who have little to no experience in crafting and only have basic knowledge, could create such masterpieces. What about an actual expert? I'm not sure, but it'll definitely be greater than what I made.

"Then, gather your most trusted artisan and bring him to me. I'll be transferring the knowledge about gem faceting to him. And for the tool, I'll ask Ember to create a few more."

"That's great! Then I'll immediately bring in my top artisan! Please excuse me for a while, President Will."

Millinda turned around, opened a portal for herself, and vanished in under a second. She seemed to be in such a hurry that she forgot about her lackeys. The poor guys stood awkwardly in the back of the room, not sure what to do.

"..."

Well, I've got nothing to do now, so I left them in the room and went back to my office. There, when I opened the door and entered, Ember was standing by the side of my table, standing prim and proper, with her left side facing me. My eyes couldn't help but look toward her... hand, where a sparkly ring was.

From the angle of her hand, I guess it was intentional on her part. Well, it's great that they took a liking to the rings.

"Ember, what's the matter?"

Since she didn't contact me through the Mental Scape, it wasn't an urgent matter. As soon as I sat down, Ember finally opened her mouth and spoke.

"Master, I've completed the prototype for the satellite."

"...!"

Finally!

I have been waiting for this to finish the entire time. After all, once we have a computer on hand, it isn't hard to imagine something like a satellite.

'After all, with a satellite, we can freely spy on other territories without being detected!'

As they say, the one who holds more information wins the war. And with the Empire slowly moving towards that very event, having more advantages wouldn't hurt.

"Then, let's go and send it to space! I'll be the initial pilot!"

Is there a man who hasn't ever wished to travel in space? No, there's none!

Ember smiled after hearing my words, as if expecting them, before explaining them to me.

"Master, the satellite could hold a total of 10 people on board. So everyone already said they would come with us for the launch."

"Everyone?"

Well... I guess I can't blame them. Going to space wasn't easy, even for monsters with space elements, after all. They technically could go to space in one jump, but the lack of air and the freezing temperatures would quickly render them immobile or dead.

"Alright. Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go and launch it now!"

Just as I stood up, a knock came from the door, followed by Millinda's elated voice. Yu Na guided them straight to my office.

"President! I've brought in Ivy! She's my best artisan and one whom I trust completely!"

What timing, just as I'm in a hurry.

I moved to the two, literally teleporting in front of them with [Shadow Skip], and held the woman's face without warning.

"Don't resist the information, and quickly confirm it."

I warned her before pressing my forehead against hers. She was pretty small, though, so I had to bend down just for our foreheads to touch. As soon as our skin came into contact, I initiated the Taming System's function and transferred all related knowledge regarding gems. Not only faceting, it even includes polishing, cutting, and even identification.

As soon as I was done, I let go of her, who then tumbled down powerlessly. Her eyes were spinning as she muttered incorrigible words. I guess I sent a little too much information at once, causing her to get confused. Well, she should recover soon enough.

"Then, I need to go. Yu Na, take over when there are things my clones couldn't finish."

The clones I made before were still working without rest. As they were clones, they didn't need to sleep, eat, or drink, nor did they need to go to the bathroom. In short, they could work 24 hours a day, nonstop! They are the most perfect office personnel there are!

After that, I returned to Ember's side, ignoring Millinda's calling me from behind, before leaving through a teleportation portal that Ember opened. On the other side, everyone was already gathered and was even wearing spacesuits.

"..."

Rather than astronauts, however, they look more like sexy space pirates, with the thin material tracing every curve of their bodies. Of course, despite their looks, the material used on their suits was metallic in nature. It was also airtight and had a self-

regulating temperature enchantment.

On their back was a small oxygen pack, which looked like a small hexagonal backpack. The oxygen inside it would last them about 24 hours alone, but it even has a recycling function that refines the air we breathe out into more oxygen. Combined with that function, their oxygen supply should be able to last a week at most.

After sending a glance at them, I quickly turned to the main object of attention for the day.

"So this is the finished satellite...!"

It wasn't that large, with its body being a long cylinder about 5 meters in diameter and just about fifty meters across in its compact state. From the design, however, this satellite could expand to about 10 times its original size, unfolding like origami.

Furthermore, its onboard computer was the upgraded version that Ember had provided for select government offices around the country. Not only was it equipped with a faster processor, it even had a proper UI, making things a lot easier.

"Master, here's your suit."

As I was staring in excitement at the satellite, Ember passed me my suit. Of course, it had the same design as the rest, being pure white and almost skintight. Furthermore, I could simply wear it over my clothes, so it was easy to change into!

In under a minute, I was already fully clad in the space suit and finally ready for the main event.

"Let's launch this thing!"
