( Yuuki's POV )
Elze: Yae, I'm going to create an opening, don't miss that opportunity.
Yae: what are you going to do?
Elze: J-Just trust me.
The girls were preparing for another attack and at that moment I noticed that someone was watching us but that was nothing bad.
When I was a little distracted the girls started their attack, Yae ran around me while Elze rushed towards me and I stopped her attack again.
Yuuki: You know, using the same strategy twice in a fight is always a mistake.
Elze: So how about this?
Elze moved her head and I thought she was going for a headbutt but I was a little surprised when I felt her lips against mine, I forgot about the fight and started hugging Elze while we kissed, Yae had his broken katana against my back but I couldn't stop.
Yae: umm The fight is over you know.
Yuuki: I guess it is.
Elze separated from me quickly, they were both looking at me seriously but they were both blushing hard, I could guess what they wanted to say and I was looking at them in anticipation, that was making them a little more nervous but they looked cute so I didn't stop.
Elze: We want to be in the same position as Linze and the princess.
Yae: We like you too so don't forget about us de gozaru!
When I heard the girls my smile became wider and I walked over to hug them tightly, I could feel their hearts beating quickly, how cute.
Yuuki: Of course, I won't forget you.
Elze: ugr could you stop making that face.
Yuuki: what? Do you want me to not be happy after what you said?
Elze: You know what I mean.
I was grinning like an idiot while enjoying the girls' shy expressions and as we hugged each other they were glaring at me.
Yuuki: OK I'll stop, but as I was saying, you are important to me, if you feel that way towards me I will never leave you behind.
We stared at each other and after a few seconds they both closed their eyes and perked their lips, I gave them both a quick kiss and that put them at their limit because the girls had to escape to the mansion I waited a few seconds and then I too walked back.
Before entering I looked up and saw Mittelt sitting on the railing of a balcony looking at me, she was the one who was watching us.
Yuuki: what are you doing?
Mittelt: Watching you, you put your claws on two more girls. If I'm not careful, it won't take long for you to aim for me.
From her tone, it almost seemed like she was inviting me to do exactly that.
Yuuki: That's fair I guess, you know I can see your underwear from here.
Mittelt: I knew it, you're just after my body!
Mittelt quickly put her hands on her skirt to block my view and then she turned around to enter the house, I think I could see a small smile form on her face.
What a strange girl but some of my Sekireis are even stranger.
//////////////
The day after moving into the mansion we didn't do much besides training and settling into our new home, The place was large but we did not have to worry about cleaning and maintenance because the king sent an efficient team of servants, cooks, and gardeners, maid's and butler to take care of everything, Raynare tried to act superior and order everyone around but I told them to go ahead and ignore everything she said.
I occasionally visited the royal family mage Charlotte, she taught me some interesting neutral magic and we had many discussions about magic theory.
On the fourth day, the Duke paid us a visit, no doubt, to check on his beautiful daughter and his niece.
Alfred: I'm glad everyone is settling in nicely.
Yuuki: well it wasn't difficult, this place is incredible.
Alfred: That's good but unfortunately my visit is not just for personal reasons.
Yuuki: Don't worry about that, we're going to be family, I'm more than happy to help with anything.
Alfred: I was waiting for you to say that, thanks to you saving the king our relationship with the Mismide kingdom is improving and we are planning a meeting between kings in the Mismide kingdom but that is a long and potentially dangerous trip.
Yuuki: You want me to go ahead and open a portal to the capital, that's easy enough. I wanted to visit the Mismide kingdom anyway so this works perfectly.
Alfred: Thank you, a group with soldiers from both kingdoms will be formed tomorrow to escort you.
After that the duke retired with some desserts for him and his wife and I moved on to tell the girls about the trip.
Yumina: Yuuki, do you think we could meet the guy who controlled Kali and Mittelt along the way?
Kali? Is that a pet name?
Yuuki: Is it possible, if we are lucky.
Linze: don't mean unlucky? didn't you say that he is dangerous?
Yuuki: Dangerous yes, but because of his choice of tactics I doubt that he is that strong on his own, too much caution could work against us here.
However his abilities work I can't give him room to plan against us, If he was close enough to observe us I could detect him so he has no advantage at the moment, Furthermore, after my talk with the God of this world, I have a slight suspicion that the reincarnated person that Matsu detected in this world and the boss of Raynare are not the same but that doesn't make it any less dangerous either.
Ana: Don't worry everyone, no matter who our enemy is, our family will always come out on top.
Ana's words put a smile on my face and that had the same effect on the rest of the girls who were more than ready to face our enemies.
