Getting used to the new situation was surprisingly easy for Konrad. True. Cristal advanced from being a daughter into a lover but she still mostly kept her old behaviour of a spoiled little girl who loved Konrad completely.
After being thoroughly chastised by Hermione Cristal eased on her mating advances for now and allowed Konrad's weak heart to survive another few years.
in her free time when she wasn't snuggling into Konrad, Cristal would help Ruby in her own transformation. She refused straight when Konrad proposed to help or oversee Ruby's training saying something about woman's dignity and called day a peeking perv playfully.
Konrad and the..."Human" girls kept working on their main project after completing their infinite pantry. Konrad was at the moment installing a horse sized runic array on an even bigger underground wall that took a turn on both sides making a cylinder around a hundred metres in diameter. It was a fragment of their greatest magical formation ever and they already filled almost half of the wall with different magical formations and runes, each one doing something different and at the same time exactly the same. if someone looked inside the cylinder, they would find the core room where a huge version of the magical generator floated suspended and a bunch of magical batteries surrounded it for safety measures. this generator produced a crazy amount of energy but the trio estimated that it would be only barely enough to power the big formation, so they needed a separate generator to power up their mansion above ground.
Konrad was at the moment working alone mounting a piece of the formation onto the wall when suddenly a pair of hands wrapped around his neck from behind and Konrad felt a wave of long smooth hair touching his cheek.
"Whatcha doin Da-ddy?" Came the voice very close to Konrads ear.
Konrad smiled and turned to see the beautiful Purple eyes of his former daughter.
Hello Cristal. I was just-" He could complete his sentence because his lips were caught in hers. No matter how many times, she always catches him unprepared. when their lips finally split up, Konrad looked at her with a little amusement and embarrassment.
"What was that for?" He asked blushing slightly.
Cristal grinned never letting go of his neck, with their faces very close to eachother.
"I just saw my beloved Daddy working himself to the bone and wanted to help you ease a little ehehe." She said and gave him another heartwarming kiss that really made Konrad relax. He didn't realize how exhausted he was, not physically and not even magically. He was a complete mental wreck after a few days and nights with an additional time from a time turner he spend putting up the runes.
Cristal made a worried expression and hugged Konrad.
"Daddy! You really need to rest. You were working on this project for almost a year! Remember? Why aren't you working when Mommies work? and why are you forcing yourself so much? You need to have a break sometimes, like when you made the infinite pantry!" She said.
Only now with his cute black haired girl in his embrace Konrad realized how exhausted mentally he was. for the past few days he went into a circle. wake up, go to school, work on t he big project, work on it some more, sleep and do it all again. In this circle he didn't realize there was no girls involved. that's because of the size of the formation. each one of them worked in a different part of the formation and before they realized they almost never saw each other those days. This pace lasted for over a week, and Cristal realized that both Daddy and Mommies looked really miserable for some reason. and she finally found the cause!
"Now you're going with me! Ruby is bringing Mommies! were going to have an enjoyable time together and you are not to work on this project for the entire week! Also you are to work only beside Mommies! I don't care if the project is going to take longer. There's no sense doing it if your not enjoying your work, and I know that you don't Daddy! Not when you're alone!" Cristal started reprimanding Konrad who only watched her with astonishment. He never expected Cristal to one day order him around like this. Surprisingly, he felt proud of her, and blessed with having such a caring Dau-Girlfirend!
Konrad only nodded with a smile and allowed Her to drag him out of this basement.

Soon enough the foursome + Dragon found themselves on a tropical beach. It was still a month until the third year ended so they couldn't really make a trip out of the country,. but they never did.
"God I almost forgot that ROR can emulate more than furniture and training equipment hahaha." Konrad said.
Hermione sat right beside Konrad and basked in the warm sunlight that didn't fell like a fake at all.
"Yeah its so nice... I can't believe we forget to enjoy ourselves." She hugged Konrad tightly. "I'm not letting you go anymore out of might sight Konrad!"
"Yeah me too!"voice could be heard coming from Konrad's lap, where a blonde haired girl lied happily.
"Ko rad smiled at the two girls and was about praise Cristal for showing such care but was interrupted by said persons laugh coming from the fake sea.
"Ahahaha! I got you Now Sis!" Shouted Cristal in her human form chasing a green dragon in the water.
&"Sasasa you won't catch me sis!"& Ruby replied.
"Oh you think so? ehehe" She then transformed into her snake form that already reached over seven metres long and swam through the water with an amazing speed caused by her serpent bloodline.
$Hey that'sss not Fair!"& shouted Ruby.
&"Everything is fair in love sasasa!"& replied Cristal who then wrapped around Ruby tightly.
&"gotcha!"&
&"Hmpf"& Ruby resized her body and became really small slipping from Cristal's grasp, only to rapidly expand right under Her.
&"Kyaaaa!!!"& Cristal flew into the air with a shriek but as she started falling she began giggling and transformed back into human and hit the water with a splash.
"hahaha that was awesome! let's do it again!" She shouted excitedly.
Konrad watched the show with a smile and a thought came to his mind 'Yes, moments like this are what really matters.'
