"I wanna use more magic…. Only earth magic seems boring…" I said while we were all bathing. The bed was too ruined to sleep in, and so we were having a midnight bath while the bed was being cleaned by the maids. Everyone was here. Besides Lana of course, she was sleeping soundly.
"I should get into contact with some of my friends, they might want to partner up with you too." Ridge said, sitting on the opposite side of Leila.
"Rekka, I wanna get stronger too." Leila said, dipping in the bathtub and sitting with me. this tub was pretty large, the water wasn't actually hot, we came here too cool off after sweating soo much, and since the weather was really hot, we used cold water which cooled us off.
"Hmm, that's pretty easy, magic is all about the final results in this world… but there is more to it than that." Leila was strong like Granny, only her Mana pool was limited. But if she knows the method of conserving energy efficiently, she could get stronger by leaps. It means that more power from low cost.
As I explained, Leila looked with Sparkle in her eyes.
"I wish I had the ability to use magic too." Cadia, who was still washing herself, said from the showering area, she and Lana were the only ones who can't use magic within my fiancées. But both of them were special in their own ways.
"Even without that, Mistress Cadia really had done a number on master." Systy who was washing Alice's hair said so while sighing.
Alice and Systy seemed to bath together often, so they were cooperating smoothly. Really, all these beautiful girls were a treat for the eyes.
And Iliya, who turned bold when she was too stimulated, was sitting between my legs in the tub. Even with her petite body, her charm was one of the most mind breaking ones…. I hardly believe that I could resist her if she were to want to do it right now…
"That girl can be dangerous in some critical times…." Leila noticed that too…
"Elder sister, when we were training, Rekka taught us the law behind fire and the way to make stronger magic. If you learn that too, I believe you could be much stronger, since your control over magic is more refined, I believe that it will be much more useful to you." Alice said at last getting in the tub.
I passed her a book I had written explaining the characteristics of elements and how we can affect them to make them stronger and after skimming through it, Leila said, looking serious…
"Hmmm… Rekka, I believe the information you have might be worthy to be written down on a grimoire."
"Leila it's hard to take you seriously when you are naked you know?" I said, looking a bit red, when she looked at me like that while sitting in the bathtub water dripping from her body making it seem even more sensual.
"Eh? You got up again?" as Iliya said… sorry…
"It's only a physical reaction, it's not like I want to do it anymore… tonight even I reached a point to stop…" as I said that Iliya leaned on me getting in the conversation again.
We were enjoying some light wine. And since I had quite a bit, I seemed to have become a bit drunk. I usually don't drink, but if you have to look at this many girls on your bed… it's better to be a little drunk...
"Shouldn't you be more tense? In some days the invitation to Dragon territory will come, how can you be so lax?" Leila asked me from the side. I don't know about tense… It was already hard down there.. Getting more tense would spill things out…
"Say Leila, d-..." I wanted to ask if the girls in Dragon territories are hot…. I should not ask that.
"You just thought about some other girl?" as if seeing through me they all asked in unison.
"Th---that… I might have?" I was gonna say 'that can't be' but their dominating gaze was… too strong for me to lie.
"Well I heard that Her Majesty the Queen of the Dragon tribe is really beautiful, the same goes for her heir, also most of the dragons tend to be beautiful. It may be because they get to choose their appearance or may be based on their own thinking, I don't know." Leila, the one most knowledgeable among us, Explained.
"What about Elves?" Alice asked. I knew that elves were all supposed to be a bunch of beautiful men and women but since they were known to be tight asses, I wasn't that interested in them.
"I have very low knowledge of them. So I only know that they are strong with magic, there were also dark elves in the past but they are practically extinct now…. I think." Leila was really a nerd.
As I thought that I got a chop on the head from her. Boy, don't make sudden movements! Those are moving really unrestrained you know?
"I know about the beast-kin a little." said Iliya, she looked like she was in heaven… as I wrapped my arms around her as she leaned on me, she wasn't even getting fazed by the jealous stares of the others.
But I guess she earned the seat since she was the first one to get in after me. Although I was feeling bad that I was probably still poking her… can't this guy calm down after all that?
"Wow, that was unexpected?" I asked in surprised to hear that Iliya knew about the Beast kin.
"Not really, there are many wild game, way bigger than any other territory has. The Beast kingdom also has large fishes. I learned of them from one of my acquaintances. I heard that the Beast kingdom is made with a lot of clans. The Lion tribe is the leader right now, it is known that they can use magic by covering the element of magic on their body like a gauntlet or an aura. Also they value power, the most known topic in the Lion tribe seemed to always have a king who had many partners, 20 to 40 girls is considered normal for the king, also it was right to assume that the more concubine the king had, the more powerful he was." Iliya gave out such valuable information like it was nothing.
"Iliya… how do you know all this, these seem like facts not rumours…." I asked her.
"I shouldn't say this but the empire has already fallen so…. Many years ago, when I was still little, the empire found a lion beast man near their borders, the then hungry emperor captured that beast man without a second thought and imprisoned him to gain knowledge of how the beast men fought. I somehow was able to get to his cell, since I knew magic to support others and increase their limits temporarily, I had helped him get out of the cell. In return, he gave me a book explaining the current going on's in the beast kingdom. I was glad that our language was the same or it would have been a waste."
"That was a daring thing you did…." I said while looking at Iliya. Since she didn't help the empire when I was there to attack, it looks like she had approved of me… I felt that she might have hated me for killing her father and family but she was stronger than normal girls….
"I am proud that I could have a girl that brave." I embraced her from behind while saying that.
"Thanks…" Iilya who now looked delighted turned around and embraced me back.
"Well with all that said, I have a strong urge to get some cat girls and bunny girls and dog girls too….. Oh the fluff parade...!" I loved animals in my past life. Sadly in this world, no animals were friendly and to make a pet out of, so I guess If I could tame some beast men, it would be a nice substitute? although my comment would be enough to start a war... I should let go of taming people....
"Since you are brazenly declaring Master, I think it is something you will do at any cost?" Systy who looked at me sighing said so in a deadpan voice. I might sound like a pervert with beast woman fetishes to her… well I came to a different world. I will give it a try at any cost.
"Haaaah!...." all the girls sighed and chuckled….. It was a nice and relaxing bath. And at the end of it, we went to bed and had a warm snuggling sleep. I was glad that even while buried under all of them I could go to sleep easily. Sleeping in the wild has taught me well.
...…..
Mai: Master is one step away from philanderer life.
Rekka: I know this looks bad but a single girl can't compare my sexual appetite so it's not like I am doing this out of my own lewdness.
Mai: Then what would have happened if one girl was enough? Would you have ignored the other girls that were in love with you?
Rekka: Yeah I would have been in this situation…. Even then I guess…
Mai: One step away from Philandering lifestyle…. My master is someone I can be proud of.
I hope I don't turn out the way Mai imagines me to turn out…..
.....
"Isn't it nice? The feeling of waking up surrounded by girls, after a long hard childhood, isn't it divine waking up and having a lifestyle of lewdness, carefreeness, to think that after those hard days there will come a time when…."
"Okay okay… I get it, so please stop your monologue…." Mai was standing by my bed, giving a monologue like some anime narrator, it was early in the morning, the girls were deep in sleep,
My recovery speed was faster, so I had to sleep less too…. I could also sleep more but I didn't sleep in that much. So as I got out from the girls' bind and laid them in line, then covered them with the blanket, I got off the bed and started heading out to get freshened.
"Master looked like he was already used to this…." Mai said, looking delighted from the side.
I hadn't missed a single day in this week, you can't say that I'm not used to this at this point. My growth in technique was also increasing rather rapidly.
Another hypothesis was, I may be used to tucking in girls from my 2nd life but I had nothing to feel guilty about that. I was dead already. Moreover, I don't remember it.
"Thanks I guess.." I should accept Mai's complement. She was a great big sister, she even gave me advice on how to sweet talk while in bed. Or when I was going to have sex, I would have just shut my mouth and stay silent… which probably would have been awkward.
Well after all these nights… I don't think that sweet talk was needed anymore. They already complained about me making them way too sensitive… How does that even happen? It's not like I am using any kinky things…
"Still master, walking like this would stimulate the maids this early in the morning." Since it was summer now and practically the hottest in the year, I was wearing shorts and had nothing on top… It was normal in my old world… but I guess it was inappropriate Here. but still, Like individual rooms, the corridors and other areas were set to be lightly air conditioned so coming out of a chilly room was hot. At Mai's complaining, I used Miasma to generate a loose tank top.
"Is this good enough?"
"I will say that you can certainly say it covers you more…. Still I feel like the heat has increased now…. So before, it was better." the way she said it with a thumbs up sign made my head throb...
"Mai, sometimes I feel like you maids are too perverted." Really who gets hot on tank tops?
Girls shouldn't be that easy to stimulate. It's guys who get fooled by a single smile from girls you know?
As I got freshen and moved to the training field for some morning practice, just like Always, Mai stood at the corner while I did some weight lifting exercises followed by boxing practices.
It was good that I had interest in boxing quite a bit. After all these months, I can do any boxing move like they did in the matches….
Still in this world, it was a very unnatural way of fighting. That may be the reason people couldn't grasp my fighting ability. After a light run, I finished the training and had a glass of water from Mai.
"Master, does this low level work out do any good?" it was low alright, in this world this shouldn't even be considered a warm up. Still I had 100 times gravity on me. Same went for my weight lifting equipment, so it was quite difficult in a way. Without this much, I wouldn't have broken a sweat but right now I was sweaty as hell.
"Every workout shouldn't have to be to get your body strong, these light exercises are crucial to balance out your mind. It eases you up and gets the morning's laziness out of you."
As I took a shower and went to breakfast, I saw everyone had gathered. Gramps and granny were enjoying their coffee.
Since Genny was home, she prepared coffee for the morning. It was really popular among us. I guess she has already won over everyone's heart with her gentle smile. Jara is popular too. She was still Lana's age but was the total opposite of her sister.
"Genny, today's coffee is nice too!"
"For someone who forgot me because he made an instant Coffee machine has a lot of guts saying that." but she was still mad at me for forgetting them… I sighed that even this morning, I failed to have her forgive me.
"Hah… still being served coffee by a hot girl early in the morning is nice." perks are perks I guess.
"Rekka, come in an hour, we will depart a bit early." Gramps said so and left with Granny. Today me and Gramps were supposed to go to a place where practicing swords were the main focus.
Since my sword techniques were all over the place, gramps had suggested visiting the place where Rose the knight lived…. Her Lord was a knight too and their whole territory was filled with swordsmen.
With Gramps there, I was going to watch many types of swordsmanship and follow the one that suited me the best. Gramp's Style was a bit too speed and technique based so it didn't suit me well, who had a lot of raw strength and speed both. Moreover I was more of a speed based fighter then the sly and scheming, gramps who liked to throw in feints was clearly not one for me… I was used to slashes that ripped apart any rock boulder or even mountains.
As I was starting to get ready, Leila came in.
"Rekka.. This might seem a bit forward but if you can please, go and win Rose's heart."
"What kinda joke is that?" Hearing something like this from Leila was as good as a fantasy so of course I was a bit flustered hearing that.
"I am serious, she is going through a situation right now…. And I know that she likes you…. But you shouldn't wait too long… that girl is too serious and just might do something she doesn't want." It seems Rose was in a sticky situation for sure.
"I don't think she would like me after what I did at the empire…" Rose was a knight but I had mercilessly killed people weaker than me without a second thought.
Knights like her are going to loath me…. Although we were mutual friends the last time I saw her, I had no idea what she thinks of me now. After I got back from the empire, I had never met her again. Probably since she avoided me… otherwise we both come and go from overlords castle should have met at least once..
"That shouldn't be a problem, at this point even if you forced her in a relationship she would be happier."
"Is the situation really that bad?"
"You can hear it from her…. She told me not to tell you."
"Haaah… I don't get it but I will see what happens but I am not gonna force a girl like her… that would actually be a fantasy of mine but in reality it sounded like a shitty plot from a porn…."
"What? Don't spout nonsense and get that girl, since she was my junior, I feel like I should take some of her problems on me too. Not to mention… Please get more girls!" as I saw Leila looking at me seriously, I felt way too guilty, since last night… yeah… none of them could go to work today… they were too tired… or too sore to move… sorry.. Okay? I get it.
"Okay, okay."
As everyone was still groggy and not in a mood to speak, so only Leila talked and as my time to leave got near, I got some hugs and kisses from the sleep deprived girls… I should ease up a bit, they needed more sleep.
Making a mental note that doing it everyday off the week was a bad idea, I left after giving them some more tasty desserts I made at leisure. It is said that sugary treats eases a lot of stress. Hopefully they will forgive me.
