Chapter 729: Colorful Colors 4
I’ll go check with Selenium again. I wonder if the message will get through properly through the side channels. But this isn’t the time to be worrying about that. If we leave it alone, it’ll just lead to unnecessary considerations.
“The collar ceremony is for Emma, Neia, Beatrice, Galatia, Leda, Leyla and Corti. Seven people. But when I checked with Savory, it seems like there are about ten more”
I approach her with a firm attitude. However, Selenium tilts her head and smiles.
“Hmm, when I talked to Savory-san, there was a bit of a mention like, 『Maybe those kids should join next?』……but I thought we were just inviting reasonable candidates”
“Reasonable……?”
“For example, Azel-chan and Rizel-chan. They’re seriously wanting to get intimate, but they weren’t invited to the 『Female slave-only』 event, and they were complaining about it at the hot springs”
“Ugh”
……Indeed, lately there have been a few events with 「Female slave-only privileges」. Originally, the sheer number of female slaves was meant to overwhelm any sense of abnormality and make people think, 「Maybe this is just another culture」. But even those who would normally think, 「There’s no way I’d join something like that」, might get swept up in the momentum……that was the line we were trying to draw out of consideration. But before I knew it, Azel and Rizel had become exceptions in a different direction.
The position of 「Pregnancy-only traveler」 is even more erotic than that of a female slave. However, if I casually label them as 「Female slaves」, they might never return to the cat beast colony and contribute to its prosperity. That is not the intention of the old woman who sent them or mine.
But I can also understand that the recent gap between them and the female slaves is deeply unsatisfying for them, given their resolve or expectations. From their perspective, they’d rather participate in any perverted or depraved orgy than be excluded. They want the right to participate.
“……This might be an opportunity to establish a new type of collar……”
“Yes?”
The colored collars I made to encourage breeding with Tetes have somehow started to run wild in various ways. Maybe I should give the collars of Azel and Rizel and Leyla and Corti new meanings.
“No, that’s beside the point. I think it’s a bit much to make all of Dianne’s sisters female slaves”
Nord and the cooking trio. They probably find Dianne and Hilda’s current situation and my relationship with them amusing, but that doesn’t mean they should be easily turned into female slaves. Would Selenium and the others really be satisfied with that?
“But I casually asked Mira-san and the others, 『Would you be interested in becoming female slaves?』 and they didn’t seem to mind. I haven’t asked Nord-san yet, but she seems pretty eager to have children with Andy-san”
“Eh……”
“Besides, Fennel and the others just met naked in the hot springs, had a wild orgy on the spot, and then became female slaves. If Mira and the others are willing, isn’t that a reasonable standard?”
“……Ugh, now that you mention it”
Fennel and the other four really were that kind of people. Though there was the circumstance that they were 「Outcasts」 who didn’t expect much from romantic relationships in the forest, they didn’t hesitate, did they? Thinking about that, if Mira-san´s group, who also gave their virginity to me, who also haven’t been blessed with many men, and who greatly enjoy sex with me, were to become female slaves and wear collars… it’s not necessarily wrong, is it?
“Sure, if they were young cat beasts who didn’t know much, but worrying that a hundred-year-old dark elf might not understand the humiliation or significance of wearing a collar……that’s not something Andy-san would do, is it?”
“……Well, maybe……maybe you’re right”
I almost convinced myself to back down. Wait, no, hold on. We’re not done here.
“You’re talking about including Gloria and Cosmos too, right?”
“Ah, those two just want to watch, not wear collars”
“And you’re okay with that!?”
“It’s a secret ritual, but it’s also a way for us to welcome new slave companions. Excluding people who understand and won’t interfere just because they’re not strict about it seems a bit harsh. Plus, there’s the Swallow incident”
“What case? That’s my biggest question. Why is Lady involved? She’s the most unrelated person here”
She was someone who wasn’t even an option for sex until recently. You all probably forgot, but I pride myself on being quite picky. I can’t do it with someone who isn’t beautiful. The previous Lady was completely out of my league.
“It was Hildas doing……”
“What is she doing?”
“Apparently, because of her appearance, she’s never had proper sex before. So, since this is a chance, let’s give her a proper virginity-taking experience☆”
“Isn’t that just continuing the collar ritual?”
“On the contrary, if she’s naked in front of dozens of people watching her have sex, there’s no place to escape, so it’s perfect, right? She said so. She does have a tendency to act all proper and run away, so it might be just right”
“What’s Selenium’s opinion of Lady?”
The incident at Sitar was, of course, secondhand information for Selenium, who was pregnant at the time. She should have met Lady after coming here. But I can’t imagine Selenium being so easily deceived and underestimating someone. ……Maybe Lady was just that obvious of a coward when it came to sex. ……Wait, no. There’s more.
“And another thing. Yeah. This is one thing I can say for sure: Shario will never wear my collar”
“Ah, yeah. I know”
“……Yeah”
You know? Then that’s fine……no, it’s not fine. It’s not fine at all.
“Then why did you call her?”
“Eh? You’re dragging all the other female slave dragons to the ceremony but leaving Shario out?”
“……Ah, safety concerns?”
“Something like that. Besides, it’s Andy, so he’ll probably end up trying to seduce her anyway, so there’s no point in excluding her now”
“You’ve been misunderstanding me lately, haven’t you?”
I can’t help but feel like they’re labeling me as a trainer or something.
“But Andy-san, you don’t really want Shario to die, do you?”
“……Well, that’s”
“Then you’re not just going to let her go back and slowly kill herself after her arm heals, are you?”
“…………”
“Wait, are you seriously planning to just watch her die in silence?”
“Well, I might try to talk her out of it, but……don’t be so stubborn about dying”
“I know better than to think a dragon would change its mind with such vague words”
“…………”
That’s true. It’s definitely true. But still.
“Yes. Is that all?”
“……I wonder if everyone will agree with this”
“If Andy-san says 『It’s okay』, no one will complain. Everyone is Andy-san’s female slave, after all♪”
I can’t help but feel like I’m being manipulated.
After teasing Elenia and Peter a little, I visited Irina’s room, but she wasn’t there. Christie wasn’t there either. It was unusual for both of them to leave the baron’s mansion, so I asked a member of the Sakura clan (who was working as a maid apprentice) nearby, and she said they had both gone to the forest.
“Was there a meeting or something?”
“No……I didn’t hear anything about that. I’ve been busy with Polka and don’t know much about the situation in the forest……”
“I see……got it. Thanks”
“……U, Umm, I can’t do that. I have an engagement”
“Eh”
“That……I’m not like silver clan´s Fennel”
“I wasn’t trying to do anything inappropriate!”
Even an unrelated elf girl thinks she’ll be attacked just for looking at her face. Though, she’s surprisingly close for someone who said no. Is she actually hoping I’ll do something? This must be because of that guy Fazer’s reputation.
Well.
“……How should I get in?”
I came to the entrance of the forest without thinking. The summer forest is refreshing with a cool breeze, but there’s no point in just standing at the entrance. I should have brought Fennel with me. Any child from the northern forest can enter, but if Irina and the others are at a formal place, there aren’t many children who have the knowledge and status to enter. As I pondered at the entrance, I also hoped someone might pass by. Elves don’t just wander in and out wherever they please. The paths are somewhat fixed. If an elf passed by here, I could ask them to take me to the Silver Clan Manor. But apparently, not many come and go. I waited for about 30 minutes, but no one came by. However, there are no stinging insects like Polka here. Basson’s summers are tough because of the mosquitoes, I remember, as I stand there absentmindedly, and then I hear footsteps coming from the forest. Finally, someone is coming out. If it’s Irina and the others, that’ll save me some trouble, I think, and look beyond the trees, but then someone completely unexpected appears. One is the former clan chief, Diel, in red. I may have never seen him come out of the forest before. And then there’s another person.
“……Eh? Andy……why?”
“That’s my line”
A girl with pure white hair and a single horn growing from her forehead.
“Why are you here……how did you get here?”
Breakcore, the holy beast and guardian of the northern forest. She was supposed to live only near the labyrinth, but for some reason, she had appeared in Polka.
