Chapter 8 - My Worth

I had a lot of questions in my mind... how come such a ridiculous existence was allowed to exist, how could I not know what slime was? those weak little creatures, cannon fodder in every possible game, between them and a goblin pet, anyone prefers a goblin even if they're abusive, they will give you more exp when you kill them.

That said.

How the hell can there be a slime this big!? An entire sea?!

"That's right, my little Limu is the most dangerous and loyal servant that I have, unlike this little fox here... the moment she met you, she wants to become naughty and rebel~" Zaforia addressed the fox who could only look at he crestfallen.

"You just heard my thoughts." I said, this is like the fifth time it happened, it was a conjecture before but with so many repetitions, that can't be.

As a response the Empress leaned against my body, smirking, I took her waist and embraced her consequently, instinctively...

"I did, as my servant everything that's yours belongs to me~ your thoughts included, so be sure to think about me a lot to gain some points with me and leave this naughty kitsune aside."

"Master... it is unfair to use your status! my little brother and I are so close already, moreover I will be his teacher." This time it was not her ears alone, even my sister's tails fell in dejection, I wanted to pat her so bad.

There was this other question that I had budging in my mind since she said summoning.

"Am I the only man here?" I asked, say what you must, but I had no intention of sharing this paradise with any man... perhaps if they were a little more... modest, but with how outgoing they were... aish! it was even more awkward now that I knew she can read my thoughts.

Sure enough master's giggles resonated, she licked her lips and settled herself on my crotch, my little brother was pressing directly on her crack, yes... yes... this is precisely what I'm telling you... I'm not sharing.

"Hehehe~ so are you saying that you're going to be jealous if your beloved master gets intimate with another male servant?~"

"..." That's exactly what it was, I wasn't going to say it... we were nothing, I had no right to stop her from summoning males, in fact as her servant I could only accept it, but... could two tigers live in the same mountain? no.

'Perhaps it is because I'm still young and going through puberty, but... I wanted whatever I saw... I wanted Master and Lisha so bad... fuck I'm thinking all this...' My eyes rolled and I covered my face. At this point, I felt like crying when the master's laughter turned more lively... she just heard all that.

What a troublesome power that is.

"Hahaha~ you know, if you want I can stop doing it."

"Really?"

"Yes, but I won'~"

"..."

"I mean... your thoughts are so delicious... I could hear them all day, what is it that you thought just now~"

Lisha's ears perked with interest.

"Don't say it."

"So you want me and Lisha SO BAD, hmm?~ Tell me Alastor, what is that you want exactly? am I not in your arms already?~ Lisha was also in your arms a minute ago, so what is it that you want?" Her lips were hovering above mine at this point yet I was like a statue.

"..." I refused to even think anything.

"Could I be that little brother who fell in love already, so fast?~" Lisha added some spice of her own and the two started to giggle in junction, I don't know why but I felt an eerie aura of 'how cute'.

They're bullying me now, thankfully Master had some mercy for hew lowly servant.

"Now now, let's leave him... he's too shy to admit what he wants, Lisha... perhaps when little Alastor gets stronger enough he will be able to tell his master and big sister what he wants directly, right?~" Our lips were brushing as I remained still, blushing.

"You can be sure of that, master." All I knew is that master is dangerous... she knows what I'm thinking, even when I'm not thinking. In this world strength is king it seems... and I would get it.

"Hmm, by the way, you don't need to worry if that's an issue for you~ I never ever summoned a man, my clause in the summoning ritual was clear, no men... yet you came out... and that's one of the reasons why even I am confused." She showed a confused glare for the first time, finally touching the elephant in the room.

As expected, I shouldn't have been summoned.

"That means two things, either in your world, there were no ladies at all."

"That was definitely not the case."

"Or the summoning ritual who works on my will thought it to be more convenient for me to have you by my side instead of a girl... it happened before in Limu's case... back then the ritual was directed by my mother... my mother wanted to summon me a strong servant, but a rather shy slime came out... we didn't know what the meaning of it was back then but... now I know I wouldn't have changed my beautiful Limu for even the strongest Dragon." She caressed the water melancholically.

She then regarded me, "You must be a blessing in disguise too, Alastor, we will figure it out~"

That smile... I was captivated... it reminded me of back then... perhaps I was in the same situation before... I was an ant in front of the elite like Bryce and Barbara... I was a mere fatso, no one believed in me, I was constantly abused but because I was an ant... no one stopped it.

Now it is the same... perhaps I'm a vampire... I'm immortal... but in front of these ladies I'm no different than an ant... yet they accepted me kindly even as a man that shouldn't be here.

I wasn't going to disappoint them.

A quest right at this moment, I wasn't surprised, but the wording... my worth?

It was a quest right at this moment, and as if a coincidence, master who had heard my thoughts was quite captivated by my determination.

"You want to suck my blood, Alastor?" She asked alluringly, "Since your species feed on blood and you didn't suck Lisha's, don't you want to suck master's?~

Unbeknownst to me, I was about to be introduced once again to one of this family's oddities.
