After being pampered by five hot naked girls, their soft bodies sliding against mine, I could barely contain my urge to have them right here, right now. The desire was practically clawing at me!
I take a a deep breath and, "Achoo!" I sneeze feeling the soap getting in my nose.
"Master, are you alright?" Roxanne asks, her voice full of concern, though her soapy body was anything but innocent as it gleamed under the candle light, practically begging for my attention.
How can I explain it to her that her Master was struggling between controlling his beastly instincts in front of the newer girls ... and the unbearable temptation of fucking five naked sexy, soaped-up women standing in front of him, who were already ready to be devoured!
"It's nothing. Let's get into the bath," I said with a wry smile, knowing that patience would only make the pleasure last longer. It was better for me to savour these fresh fruits slowly and thoroughly.
I stepped into the bath, the warmth of the water washing over me as I fully submerged. My dick felt all tingly, as the soap from all corners of my body gets washed away by the water.
When I resurfaced, I leaned against the edge of the bath, anticipating the hot spectacle that was about to unfold.
"We should get in too," Roxanne told the others as she dipped her toes into the water.
But before she could finish, Miria dove in with a shout of, "Fish!" and splashed everyone.
"Ha… I told her there aren't any fish in the bath," Roxanne said with a sigh of exasperation.
I chuckled, watching Miria's shadow dart around underwater, still searching for the nonexistent fish.
But soon my focus returned to Roxanne. Her soapy body moved gracefully as she entered the water—her legs first, then her thick thighs, her belly, and finally, those soapy huge balloons, that got partially submerged in the water.
Sherry followed next, her petite frame sinking almost to her neck. Behind her, Lillia stepped in, her pink hooves breaking the surface before her curvaceous thighs followed, even thicker than Roxanne's. Her flat stomach and her large soapy mountains soon disappeared halfway into the water as well.
Anastasia, with her flowing purple hair trailing behind her, entered last. Her slim, soft body eased into the water, though her 'melons,' unfortunately, became completely submerged.
Just as I was watching the incredible hot scene of their entry, the water splashed up right in front of me.
"No fish?" Miria pouted, surfacing with a disappointed look on her face. Her wet face was undeniably cute, but my body, particularly my hardening cock, couldn't ignore the allure of her dripping, sexy figure—those slick, wet breasts almost begged to be groped.
Before I could respond, Roxanne pulled her away to clean her properly, leaving me to watch as the five girls continued washing themselves in front of me.
Roxanne, Sherry, and Miria scrubbed the soap off their bodies without shame, but Lillia and Anastasia still seemed shy, hiding their breasts by turning their backs to me as they rinsed the foam away.
Even so, the sight of Lillia and Roxanne's voluptuous bodies could practically set the water on fire!
I also cleaned myself off, and soon Roxanne joined me. "Thank you, Master, for the soap," she murmured sweetly, clinging to my right side. Her soft, wet breasts pressed deliciously against my arm.
I smiled at her as she hadn't forgotten my instruction to be closer to me whenever she can. "Let's wash your hair now," I offered, giving her wet head a gentle pat before standing and stepping out of the bath.
My nude, wet body was fully on display, including my hard, throbbing dick. I tried my best to ignore the eyes I could feel on me, especially from Sherry, Lillia, and Anastasia. Roxanne, of course, always had her eyes on me.
Grabbing the wooden tub filled with soap, I sat on the edge of the bath behind Roxanne, dipping my feet in the water. The new girls watched curiously as I made some foam and began applying it to Roxanne's short, chestnut-coloured hair.
"Hmm, the soap works fine, but I wonder if I could make some shampoo too," I thought aloud as I continued foaming her hair.
"What's 'Sampoo,' Master?" Roxanne asked, her eyes closed as I massaged the foam into her scalp.
"Shampoo is similar to soap, but it's mostly for washing hair. It keeps the hair smooth and healthy longer than soap would. I read about it in an old book my Master owned," I explained, making sure to end with something plausible for Sherry's sharp ears.
"I think your soap is already great, Master," Roxanne said earnestly, and I couldn't help but smile as I massaged her head gently.
"... Roxanne, tomorrow I will be heading to the auction in the morning, so you all will have a day off," I said casually, continuing to rub the foam through her hair.
"A day off? We can have days off, Master?" Roxanne asks in wonder.
"Yes. The auction will start before noon and will likely last till the evening, so there won't be any time to explore the labyrinth." I say as I rub her soft dog ears with soap, "It's better if you all take the day off and relax a little," I add, glancing at the other girls who were quietly listening to our conversation. "So, take it easy and enjoy yourselves tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master," Roxanne starts, and soon the other girls echo her gratitude, except for Miria who is happily playing in the water.
"And I will be giving you allowances," I add with a smile. "You can use it for anything you want or need."
"Money? B-but, Master… we are s-slaves… we don't need money," Roxanne stammered, trying to turn around to face me.
"Us too?" Anastasia asked with a hint of doubt.
"You are not just slaves. You are my family," I said, caressing Roxanne's face from behind. "What if you want to buy something or need money while you are out? Anyway, I have already decided ... Lets see, I think 10 silver nars each, should be enough" I say after thinking for a bit.
From what I saw in the market, a person can buy all the daily necessities in under a silver coin. Buying simple copper weapons or some very good food can be a bit costly somewhere around 5 silver coins.
Some niche products like an Apron can go for 10 silver, and obviously the real expensive stuff will definitely go beyond 10 silver reaching gold coin territory. So all in all 10 silver should be enough, in fact I am being very generous because I already have amassed a lot of money.
The girls looked at me, various levels of shock and disbelief on their faces. "But, Master… ten silver is too much," Sherry protested.
"M-my family's yearly income was ... ten silver coins," Lillia whispered quietly, feeling overwhelmed.
"This is my allowances to you all and I won't be taking this money back so you all can use it however you wish," I said, smiling warmly. I didn't want them to ever feel restricted when they went out, especially not due to a lack of money.
"... Th-thank you so much Master," Roxanne said, gripping my hand in gratitude, with the other girls soon joining in their thanks. Lillia seemed moved beyond words, while Sherry sighed, still feeling it was unnecessary, and Anastasia looked at me with a complex expression.
Meanwhile, Miria continued her backstroke across the bath.
"So, Roxanne, have you decided how you will spend your day tomorrow?" I ask as I rinse her hair with the water from the tub, washing away all the foam.
"Haaa," Roxanne sighs in relaxation. "Thank you, Master!" She turns to face me, her reddish-brown eyes sparkling with a smile. "And tomorrow? Hmm..." Roxanne takes a thinking pose as she goes into her serious thinking mode.
Looking at her clear beautiful face in front of me, I am reminded again how pretty Roxanne is, and how blessed I am to have her.
"I will probably do some cleaning then," Roxanne eventually said with a bright nod. "The garden, the small house, this big house—there's so much to do."
I frowned and lightly chopped her on the head, startling her. "No, no cleaning. Day off means no work. Go shopping, or just relax. About the house, I am thinking of making the sixth day of the week that was today, a half-day for us to focus on home improvements, and the seventh day that is tomorrow can be a full day off, every week."
"Hehehe," I chuckled, feeling like I was running a company and giving my employees off days at the weekend.
"...Then maybe some shopping and gardening," Roxanne said with a lovely smile.
"That's better," I said, patting her head affectionately. These girls are all I have in this world, and if I was strong enough, I wouldn't even want them to risk their lives with me in the labyrinth. They could just live a peaceful, happy life with me.
But I know, that like every Isekai protagonist, my first priority is always to gain enough strength. Still, I shouldn't forget to enjoy this world along the way. Five and a half days of work in a week should be enough, right?
I smiled and gestured to Sherry. "Your turn, Sherry."
"Alright," Sherry said as she moved forward, taking Roxanne's place. Even in something as simple as washing their hair, I couldn't forget the order. As it's not just Roxanne's emotions that I have to take care of, even if Sherry doesn't show much, she also considers herself as 'above' the newcomers. So I have to respect this hierarchy and not mess it up.
As I start thoroughly applying foam to Sherry's thick dark purple hair, I overhear the girls talking.
"Is this really okay? Master giving us a day off, money and even washing our hair?" Anastasia whispers to Roxanne in doubt.
"Yes, it's good. Master likes to personally take care of us," Roxanne replies with a smile.
"Eh? Is Master going to wash our hair too? ... B-but he shouldn't ... w-we don't deserve that!" Lillia stammered, clearly flustered.
"Master isn't like the others. He really cherishes us… this is how he shows his love for us," Roxanne explains with a sweet smile, glancing at me as I worked on Sherry's hair.
"Master really is great ...," Lillia murmurs, putting her hand on her heart.
"Yes, exactly!" Roxanne's eyes lit up as she eagerly grabs Lillia's hand, clearly thrilled that someone else could appreciate her Master's brilliance as much as she did.
Meanwhile, Anastasia's gaze wandered to my wet exposed body, her eyes lingering a little too long on the big, thick member below my waist. Flustered, her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, and she quickly dipped her face into the water, as if trying to cool herself off.
I decided to shift my focus, turning to Sherry with a smile. "Sherry, you wanted to visit the Imperial Library, right? I can take you there tomorrow morning. I will pay the deposit so you can spend your day reading as much as you like."
"R-really? M-master, can I really go to the Library?" Sherry's voice was brimming with excitement.
"Of course," I said, gently rubbing her bubbly little head. "I promised you, didn't I? If you would like, you can go there on every day off. Maybe one of these days, I will join you."
"... Th-thank you, thank you, Master!" Sherry practically beamed. I have never seen her this happy before. Maybe I should consider converting one of the smaller rooms in the house into a mini library for her, just to see her light up like this more often.
As I continued massaging the soap into her hair, I asked, "Sherry, what's the next item you need to create as a Master Smith after the dagger?"
"Hmm... It's Leather Mittens, Leather Caps, and Leather Boots," she replied, clearly still thinking about tomorrow.
"And you will need leather for that, right?" I asked while I made sure that the soap doesn't go in her pointy thin ears. Although I already knew it to be true from the original story.
"Yes, just leather," she confirmed.
I smiled, satisfied. "Good. We have got plenty of leather from the Mino demons we have been hunting on the 4th and 5th floors of the Vale Labyrinth. You can start making them tomorrow morning then."
"Okay, Master." Sherry nodded.
I filled the wooden tub with water and began rinsing the soap from her thick purple hair, watching as it straightened when wet. It gave Sherry a softer, more refined appearance—like a noble lady from a wealthy family, or a doll in a doll house.
As I finished with her, she turned around, her reddish-black eyes shy but brimming with happiness. "... Thank you, Master," she whispered, smiling sweetly.
I nodded and turned my attention to the newer additions.
