When I left the Geri behind and returned to the sandy training grounds, I found the sight I returned to to be rather amusing.
On one side, Aka was desperately trying to lift her sword and swing it down towards the training dummy that Sari had dragged out for her to begin training on, wanting to see if the kit was able to do anything past just hold the blade.
It was funny since Aka was a foot taller than her new blade, and watching as she stumbled around trying to lift it was amusing, especially since she was constantly leaning from side to side before hoisting it over her head to slam it down.
On top of that she had her tongue sticking out from her lips, those crimson eyes filled with concentration as she tried to impress her Dama as she lifted her sword again; she missed the pride tinged with worry in Sari's yellow eyes as the Catkin watched her kit push herself, something that made my heart warm as Sari continued to let the kit do as she pleases until she reached forwards and stopped her, telling her to rest.
On the other side, Ipoala was standing with Rhefia and watching as her Dama showed her how to wield her new knife, while Ehretia was pointing her wand towards Kalia and giggling as the two played 'catch' with a bundle of mana, slinging it back and forth to one another and having a grand old time as Kalia showed Ehretia how to control her magic in a fun and entertaining way.
The Robinkin was nodding before taking the knife back from her Dama, who stood beside her and guided her through the movements as she taught her how to stab and slash properly with the small blade, correcting her movements and showing her how to get the most out of the least amount of movement as she displayed how to utilize your body properly.
Meanwhile, Ehretia was grinning from ear to ear as she 'caught' the ball at the tip of her wand, the tightly wound sphere of threads wobbling slightly at the end of her wand and unraveling as well, though as she stared at the ball it began to compress itself before she 'threw' it back to Kalia, who was enjoying herself as her own wand waved through the air, allowing her to lasso the orb and send it back without the need to 'catch' it like Ehretia was.
Looking them over, I smiled and took in the sight before my eyes made their way towards the position of the sun, which had begun to set, meaning it was getting close to dinnertime.
So, I went inside and made my way to the kitchen, leaving the children outside with their Dama's and trusting that both Sari and Rhefia would know when to stop so as to not push our children too far.
Inside I found Heila and Camara in the kitchen talking quietly while Aethisia lounged on a couch, her legs spread wide as she enjoyed the tongue of Yiksa who was eagerly lapping at my daughter's cock.
Ignoring the Deerkin Dark Elf pairing in the living room, I made my way into the kitchen and joined the two Deerkin in preparing this feast for tonight.
"Where's Melia?"
Camara smiled at me and gestured towards the basket that was hanging on a wooden rack nearby, saying "Something I made before the pregnancy. She's asleep in there."
Making my way over to the basket, I nodded and looked down at the pale brown baby that slept soundly swaddled in a blanket, her tuft of black hair standing straight up and making me chuckle as I reached down and caressed her soft cheek, finding it amusing how she nuzzled my hand even in the depths of sleep.
"Aww... look at her~! So adorable~!"
Camara turned to look at me and Melia with a smile on her lips, before she coughed and sternly said "Mother, are you here to help or not?"
Pouting, I approached Camara and draped my arms around her waist, nuzzling into her from behind and murmuring "Mother doesn't sound right coming from my sweet, beautiful, amazing oldest daughter..."
Seeing her stern expression crack, she blushed and looked away from me as she said "Mama, are you here to help or not..?" with a smaller voice, making me grin again as I replied "Of course Mama's here to help~! Both help with dinner and help herself..."
Kissing Camara's cheek, I reached down and caressed her stomach before going lower still, finding her erection and chuckling as she got harder at my touch, her cheeks darkening and her tail trembling against my navel as I held her from behind.
"Well, what was the menu looking like~? I can get started on some of those things before being a little~ bit greedy by getting something to 'snack' on before hand~!"
Heila smiled as she observed us from the side, the pregnant Doe answering for Camara as she saw the Deerkin standing stiffly in my arms, her cock bare to the world and enjoying the dancing of my fingers as I jerked her off.
"If you wouldn't mind, Mistress, perhaps a few loaves of bread and some bowls of salad would suffice for now? I already have a few different meats cooking in the oven, and Camara was working on a stew."
"That shouldn't be too difficult~! Though..."
Leaning forwards, I placed a kiss on Camara's cheek before whispering "Would you like to have those loaves of bread 'iced'~?"
My eldest moaned softly in my arms as I teased her tip, before chuckling as I abruptly released her and sauntered over to the oven, gauging the space before pulling out the ingredients for some bread and getting to work, knowing that a family as large as ours would require a lot of food.
And while teasing Camara was fun, we needed to make sure we had more than enough food to feed everyone... and while I could just make everything with my System, if I did that, it would invalidate the hard work that they had already put in, as well as make them feel obsolete.
So while it wasn't the most efficient, who cares~!
Besides, we were able to grow closer as we cooked together, which was far more valuable than doing everything through my System.
