Chapter 966: How to Spend the Year-End and New Year Holidays 35
It’s the end of the year. That said, I don’t really have much to do myself. My kids are still too young to be assigned roles in the New Year’s Festival, and the house is practically brand-new, plus Oregano and the others keep it spotless with their regular cleaning. Even shoveling and clearing the snow around the house is something the Blue Dragons take care of on their own, and our relationships with the neighbors aren’t close enough yet for us to exchange New Year’s gifts. My workshop is still under construction, of course, so right now, all I have to do is watch the cat beasts practice for the New Year Festival or recharge my energy at the hot springs. ……I find myself wondering if, once the kids get older and there are more of them, I’ll be so busy I won’t even have time to go visit Talc. It feels like such a distant prospect, yet at the same time, like it’s just a tiny bit in the future. We’re actively trying to have kids, after all, and they grow up so fast. While I wonder if I should be learning the basics from those around me while I still can, I end up doing nothing at all. Instead, I sit in the secret hot spring, holding Leyla and Corti in both arms, and watch the sun set while I fondle their breasts just to kill time.
“Hey. Is that all you’re going to do, just squeeze my boobs?”
“Corti. You shouldn’t look so dissatisfied. We’re just toys, aren’t we?”
“I know, but since his dick’s free, wouldn’t it be better to put it in a hole? That’s what I can’t help but think”
“That depends entirely on Smithson-sama’s wishes. Maybe he wants to save it for later”
While their bare breasts were being groped without restraint, the two sisters, beauties of unparalleled beauty, argued back and forth about whether or not to offer further services. ……To be honest, I actually find this situation itself quite enjoyable, so I just pretend to be spacing out and stay silent. As always, I have to admit, my taste is a bit questionable. But precisely because they see themselves strictly as sex slaves, there’s a certain freedom in enjoying them without reservation. After all, if I were to be this mean to the other female slaves and make them sulk, it would cause problems down the line. Even though they call themselves female slaves, I think of them as my girlfriends. As for the other girls……just as I’m enjoying this little game, Princess Ran, her workout clothes soaked through with sweat and Fiona (carried by Laila), who’s been beaten to a pulp as usual, appear at the hot spring.
“Ah……”
“Ho. It seems, for once, you aren’t shoving it up a hole”
“…………”
From a woman’s perspective, the sight of me bathing while blatantly groping both of their breasts in a flashy, wealthy-man’s pose must look utterly shameless and arrogant. The Princess blushes at the sight, Laila doesn’t seem to mind, and Fiona, though she doesn’t say anything, gives me a glare. Realizing it might be a bit much to keep that goofy expression on, I take my hands off the sisters’ breasts and sit up slightly.
“Ah……well. So, how’s Fiona doing?”
“Hoho. Well, not bad, I suppose. She’s still got a long way to go before she can hold her own against Anzeros or Aurora, though”
Of course, she can’t possibly improve that much in just a few days on a leisure trip. Still, since she says it’s not bad, there must be some progress. I wonder at what stage she’ll be 「Complete」. Part of me is actually looking forward to the possibility that she might even surpass the knight girls. Of course, my pride and joy, my female slave knight girls, are also highly talented, and they’re not a hurdle she can overcome easily. It’s probably a reasonable assumption at this point that expecting her to surpass them is wishful thinking. ……Fiona, who’d been set down by Laila, seems to have had time to change today; she slowly slips into her bathrobe, wincing at the pain from her bruises. ……Yeah, she’s huge. Not quite as big as Laila’s, I think to myself, comparing them to Laila’s breasts, who, as usual, had stripped naked without a moment’s hesitation. Perhaps sensing my gaze, Princess Ran made a very displeased face……she decisively tossed aside the bathrobe she was holding and tried to step into the hot water completely naked. Fiona noticed this and frantically tried to stop her, but she writhed in pain from her bruises once more, collapsed, and banged her head hard against the wooden slats.
“Fiona!?”
“Ho. So you really can’t walk, can you? I suppose I could just toss you in myself”
“N, No……ugugu”
It seemed she’d hit her nose rather than the top of her head, and Fiona managed to get back up while bleeding profusely from her nose.
“R, Ran-sama, please at least put on a bathrobe……this is just too much of a shock”
“You’re acting as if you’re the one who’s gotten too excited”
“E, Even so, please……whatever you do, please don’t expose yourself to that man”
“……Fiona. To begin with, I”
“Please. Just this once. I beg you”
“…………”
Princess Ran looked displeased, but reluctantly obeyed the desperate Fiona and put her bathing robe back on. Then, wiping her nose as she entered the bath, and after Fiona washed her face a few times, she strode right up to me face-to-face.
“Listen. ……Umm, don’t rush things. You get it, right?”
“What?”
“……Ugh, that lady is way too young! She’s getting close to you because she’s in such a hurry to make the 『Myth』 a reality, but it’s obvious she’s not old enough to fall prey to your desires!”
“…………”
I’ve already made her my prey in Talc. That’s still a secret, though. Even if I tell her someday, it’s not hard to imagine she’d go on a rampage if I blurted it out right now.
“Anyway, even while keeping other women at your beck and call……to go out of your way to lust after Princess Ran, whose breasts and butt are still so childlike”
As Fiona muttered to herself, Princess Ran behind her made a huffing face. It seems she quietly feels a bit inferior to Fiona’s stunning figure. Fiona, completely oblivious, kept grumbling for a while, but Princess Ran had started giving me instructions using some kind of gestures. E, Emm. What does that mean? What kind of gesture is that? Whether she’s swinging both fists up and down or forming her hands into a C shape and wiggling them back and forth, I can’t make heads or tails of it since we’re from different cultural backgrounds. Just as I was at a loss, Laila approached her, ready to figure out what it meant. After turning away to get a whispered explanation, Laila, instead of mimicking any gestures……simply sent a mental message directly to me.
『Tell Fiona to take her clothes off as a substitute』
“!?”
『That’s what she’s saying. ……If the problem is that there aren’t enough boobs and butts, well, Fiona has plenty, so that should be fine, right?』
Is that even the issue?
『She’s holding a grudge』
……Eh. Well, I guess it’s fine. I mean, that’s cute in its own way. But I’d rather you two didn’t fight through me like this. ……Or so I thought.
“Then you should just take your clothes off”
“……!?”
“Your body looks more worth seeing than the princess’s. Besides, you said before that you’re already used to it”
“Y, You……!”
“If you take your clothes off as a substitute, I’ll look the other way so the princess doesn’t have to see”
“Th, That’s why, just enjoy the women next to me instead of me……!!”
“I want to see your boobs”
“………….”
“Yours! Your boobs! I want to see them!”
I was just spacing out to begin with, so the whole discussion about wanting to see them or not was completely out of the blue for me, but I might as well go along with it. I’m bored anyway. When people are bored, they tend to get eager to do strange things. ……And then, Fiona, overwhelmed by my intensity, glanced at Princess Ran for help, only to realize too late that she’d already angered her by looking away haughtily. She made a face as if she were cornered, then.
“……N, No, not right now”
“Why?”
“I’m covered in bruises right now, so no! W, Wait until they heal!”
She came up with an incredibly flimsy excuse on the spot.
“Oh, really? So you’ll show us once they’re healed?”
“We heard that. We’ll be your witnesses”
Corti and Leyla came to my defense. You guys have nothing better to do either, huh? Yeah. I knew it.
“A knight never goes back on her word!”
……Fiona. Your fighting skills are one thing, but you really need to do something about that carelessness and gullibility of yours. Well, I decided to nod in agreement, treating it as a promise.
