Chapter 59 – More Maids and Upgrades
<span style="font-weight:400">Slowly but surely, I make my way towards Neira. I take one more nce behind me to check on the tiefling girls, but they all seem to still be experiencing the aftereffects of our recent fun. Especially Shawure. Her body keeps jerking a little from time to time as sheys on the bed face first, unmoving, pussy up in the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">Leaving them to rest, I move my gaze forward. Neira keeps shoving the thick handle of her brush repeatedly into her leaking hole while staring at my face. Seeing mee close to her, she bites her lip and drops her gaze onto my dick, hanging just in front of her face now. Her movements grow even fiercer.
<span style="font-weight:400">I wait patiently with my arms crossed and watch her y with herself while moaning asionally. She pulls her face closer to my cock and takes a whiff of it, which results in an instant shiver. The brush flies out of her hand, pushed away by her convulsing pussy, and she begins to furiously rub her clit as she cums with her mouth wide open.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing the chair rock a little, I quickly grab its backrest to support it, letting Neira ride her wave till the very end without any obstructions. No voice escapes her throat, tensed from the overwhelming pleasure for the whole duration.
<span style="font-weight:400">After a moment, her orgasm slowly fades away and she looks at me withpletely flushed cheeks, perhaps just slightly embarrassed by the spectacle she made in front of me. She leans in and leaves a soft peck on the head of my penis.
<span style="font-weight:400">I give her a minute to calm her breathing and body and finally speak up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Weren’t you supposed to be painting? Or is this some new brush technique I wasn''t aware of?” I ask with a yful grin.
<span style="font-weight:400">She giggles while still sighing and nces at my face, moving her gaze onto my cock next. She smiles enchantingly and returns her eyes to me, staring straight into my own.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keeping that connection uninterrupted, shezily moves her hand towards the easel’s little shelf which holds various utensils, and like a mischievous cat, Neira slowly pushes a cup with white paint off its edge while gazing deep into my eyes, making it shatter on the floor.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m sorry, Master. I ran out of white paint while you guys were in the middle of it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I chuckle inwardly and try to sigh in slight disappointment. Looks like she is in the mood for some games too.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. That’s really unfortunate. But, you might actually be a bit lucky. I know of a very good recement I might be in possession of.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Neira’s gaze wanders down onto my rod in front of her lips and then quickly back up. Her smile grows even wider.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, where should I deliver it?” I ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her hands quickly move down and arrive at her secret ce. She spreads her pussy open with her fingers and gives me an upwards nce, filled with lots of yearning.
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s a bit of free space in the storage back there.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I nod at her and lean down, resting my hands on the wooden seat behind her chocte hips. My ns rub her already moist entrance a few times and slowly slide in, evoking a prolonged sigh from Neira as my length fills her insides bit by bit until it''s swallowed whole. She moves her hands to the top of the backrest and grips it firmly, beginning to rain small kisses on my lips above hers.
<span style="font-weight:400">I reciprocate her attempts instantly and we dive for a deeper kiss as I start rocking my waist back and forth, pping my pelvis against her bottom and juicy thighs which are raised to the sides. With her holding onto the chair now, I move my hands under her knees and push them a bit closer to her body, angling her butt up a little bit higher for some more intense fun.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nhnnnn… Mhhhhnnmmm… Mmmmmmm…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Neira starts moaning more and more into my mouth as I hammer her pinkish flower into the wooden chair. Our tongues dance wildly while I fiercely poke around different points in her dripping wet pussy. Her whole posture jumps up with each thrust and her considerable breasts jiggle joyfully alongside them too.
<span style="font-weight:400">She is so wet from her previous fun that each p of our connected bodies covers our fronts in even more of her lewd juices, releasing loud, squishy noises of intense lovemaking. Neira leaves my lips alone and starts licking my neck, allowing me to hear more of her enticing voice.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahnnn… Ahhh… More, please… Ahhnnn…”
<span style="font-weight:400">I’m a little afraid I will topple the chair if I add more strength to it, but I can’t very well ignore my lover’s wishes, so I hook her legs over my shoulders and pin down the seat with my hands again, pushing it into the ground while increasing the tempo a little.
<span style="font-weight:400">With how much I lean onto her now, it looks like I pretty much folded Neira almost in half while drilling her pussy as her knees reach even farther than her head with how close my shoulders are to hers in this position. She loves it though. I both can feel and see it. And hear.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahhh! Ahhh! Yes! Like that! Ahnnn! Nhnnn!”
<span style="font-weight:400">I keep assaulting her slippery hole ording to her wishes while leaving soft kisses all over her cheeks and sometimes those pretty and enticing lips. With me holding the chair down, she wraps one of her arms around my neck and uses it to push herself even more into me, timing it to my thrusting. Even more pleasure fills both hers and my mind. She must have been really frustrated watching us earlier.
<span style="font-weight:400">Feeling her slowly approaching climax, I let mine build up alongside it and start moving my lips to the side of her face. Due to all this almost animalistic pounding, Neira fails to register my intentions until it’s toote. My tongue carefully traces over the edge of her ear to the very tip.
<span style="font-weight:400">“AHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">She releases a loud cry and I can feel her tightening inside, but she is still not at her peak. Before she has a chance to say anything, I thrust myself into her pink crevice as much as I can while very delicately sinking my teeth into the flesh of her sensitive ear.
<span style="font-weight:400">That instantly pushes her over the edge and Neira’s pussy begins to wring out my dick in fierce convulsions while her back arches to its extreme.
<span style="font-weight:400">“NNNNNNGGGGGHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN~!”
<span style="font-weight:400">A flood of white paint rushes through her spasming tunnel until it reaches the appointed storage, filling it to the brim with a fresh supply. Neira’s toes curl up and she again goes silent from all the pleasure, with her bodypletely overwhelmed by shivers and her mouth wide open.
<span style="font-weight:400">We bask together in our post-orgasmic glory for a few minutes, huddled up and gasping heavily. Neira gazes into my eyes with a wide smile and pulls me into a passionate kiss. I raise her from the chair, turn around, and sit there myself, allowing her to lean onto me and rest in a bit morefortable position while she keeps showing her affection with loving kisses. It’s so damn wet from her love juices I almost slide off it during the attempt.
<span style="font-weight:400">Looking over her shoulder, I notice the colourful trio lying on their bellies towards us, resting their faces on their hands, grinning at me. What a sight.
<span style="font-weight:400">Noticing my gaze, they lift themselves a little on their elbows and start rocking their bodies to the sides, creating a wave of colourful, jiggling breasts. It makes me chuckle into Neira’s mouth, to her slight confusion.
<span style="font-weight:400">She sits up and also nces back, understanding instantly what made meugh and she giggles too. Not wanting to lose to them, she starts shaking her slightly smaller boobs right in front of my face while smiling at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">I sigh heavily and slowly trace with my hands up her waist, cing a kiss on each of her beautiful breasts as I move my hands over them, finally arriving at her face and pecking her lips once more as I hold her cheeks dearly.
<span style="font-weight:400">She giggles again and finally stands up from me, releasing my rod from the clutches of her lower lips. A faint stream of white drips out of it instantly and she makes a yful pout.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And after you put so much effort in filling it up…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Iugh a little and stand up too, plugging her leaking hole with my finger afterwards, and evoking a surprised moan from her. I stir up her insides a bit with it, making Neira release some more whimpers as I tease her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gods, you never stop flirting, do you?” Mafaris asks and the trio chuckles.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What can I say? Whenever I see a beautiful girl give me a chance to tease her a little, I just can’t stop myself from doing it,” I answer and kiss Neira, who hugs me from the front.
<span style="font-weight:400">We move to the bed together and fall onto it. Everyone snuggles closer to my sides and we lie like that for some time. Neira of course takes the VIP spot on top of my chest.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve never met with anyone who could fuck this much…” Shawure says at some point.
<span style="font-weight:400">“True. It was amazing. I’m pretty sure I won’t want to go back a yearter if I can get some of this cock from time to time,” Zalia adds from my other side.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You are making me reconsider my life choices, Al,” Mafarisments from somewhere to the south of me and a tingly kiss on my balls soon follows, confirming her location.
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s right. Praise him more. There’s no one better than Master stair,” Neira proudly announces while gazing into my eyes lovingly.
<span style="font-weight:400">I chuckle and sigh. “You girls are just too much… Come on, let’s take a quick bath since we recovered a bit.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Zalia is the first one to sit up and she throws herself on top of Neira. “Yay! Carry us, Master!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The other two quickly catch up and I end up buried under a pile of beautiful girls, each one of different skin colour. They might have meant it as a tease, but Neira and I grin at each other, knowing very well that I’m more than capable to fulfill their silly request.
<span style="font-weight:400">Without any struggle, I use one hand to lift the three bodies into the air while still holding onto my dark elf girlfriend with the other one. The tieflings startughing in surprise but try to stay still to not fall down.
<span style="font-weight:400">I could go like this, but I have a better idea. I carefully throw them onto the bed, evoking even more giggling from them, and stand up with Neiratched to my front. I let her reaffirm her hold before reaching out to grab Zalia’s ankle and pulling her into the air by it. She gets flung over my left shoulder with her ass to the front in an instant,ughing like crazy. I p her butt, only increasing the intensity of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">The other girls quickly move closer, allowing me to yfully throw them over my shoulders too. Mafarisnds on the other one while Shawure finds herself on top of Zalia. Holding onto both sides, I walk towards the bath, not caring if someone may see us. They are having fun and that’s what is important. Fortunately, the path is clear.
<span style="font-weight:400">I throw myself and all the baggage into the pool in the mixed section and we take a rxing dip together. Neira establishes her dominance by always ending up in my arms while all the other girls can only hold onto my sides or other parts of my body. Well, I guess I can show a bit of favouritism towards my actual lovers.
<span style="font-weight:400">After the short rest, we move out to the side and the girls start cleaning me all over. It’s impossible to convince them against it anyway. As they take care of me, I use that time to scan through all the notifications and my status.
<span style="font-weight:400">First of all, each of the colourful tieflings appears to be on the first level of the Bond with me. Nothing surprising there, honestly.
<span style="font-weight:400">For Mafaris, it says <i><span style="font-weight:400">Passionate Curiosity</i><span style="font-weight:400"> with just a Master/Servant view of us. She might truly be a bit more interested in my dick than in the one she previously experienced, but I don’t think we’ll see the fabled case of turning a lesbian into a cock-lover. I’m pretty sure she likes being pan.
<span style="font-weight:400">Shawure’s one figures as <i><span style="font-weight:400">Sexual Affection</i><span style="font-weight:400"> and she considers us Sex Friends. I kind of expected that. She is the one often getting into a sexual frenzy. Nothing like having to deal with someone in heat even before I employed any Beastkin.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for Zalia, it says <i><span style="font-weight:400">Budding Friendship</i><span style="font-weight:400"> and we are considered New Friends. I’m happy to hear that. d to have some people who don’t always emphasize me literally owning them, even though I don’t find that bothersome anymore. Guess I got used to Sirgia repeatedly declining to act with a bit fewer formalities and all the elves pretty much revering me.
<span style="font-weight:400">They are all at Tier 2 so their stats aren’t that amazing, but that’s fine. I still get around six or seven points per attribute in total from the rainbowy bundle. It’s a lot considering my current state. Neira’s status didn’t change yet. If it will, then we most likely have to wait a bit. I try to remember all her stats and such just in case.
<span style="font-weight:400">We leave the bath to get a snack and something to drink. While at it, we chat about the fun we had and Mafaris tells me she got a bit closer to Sirgia as their interests are quite a decent match as I noticed earlier, and that’s how she managed to convince her to take the handcuffs. For testing purposes as she stated. Well, they were tested. And they didn’t feel ufortable.
<span style="font-weight:400">I get to know that Sirgia is working on a few of my smaller ideas on the sidelines, supposedly as a break from her main projects. That’s just like her. Her dictionary might have a different definition of the word break.
<span style="font-weight:400">Neira joins in and tells me that she is also working on something fun with Cornelia’s help, now just waiting for a bit of feedback from her. She tells me to visit her a bitter today so she can show it to me, preferably sometime after Corneliaes back from the town. I peck her cheek to show my gratitude. Seriously, I’m surrounded by amazing people.
<span style="font-weight:400">We keep discussing the tiefling girls'' future endeavours as part of our new, expanded roster, mostly focusing on what services they are willing to partake in, like for example some tailjobs and such, also filling Neira on what to include in the menu and their portfolios, when a Whisper arrives by my ear.
<i><span style="font-weight:400">~Master… I finished… the task… You cane… We already… have… a few girls interested…~</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">I rub my chin and smile. I did not expect Sirgia to do anything more than just pass the message to Selina and inform her about our needs, perhaps discussing the payment too, but it looks like she worked with her to get an even better result. Finding maids should be easier than girls willing to work sexually, so I guess they were able to quickly survey around.
<span style="font-weight:400">I let my currentpanions know about the situation and everyone leaves to take care of their own stuff. Before I answer Sirgia, the situation from not that long ago shes in my head, when I sent a Whisper that didn’t break the sentence into a sexual mess. Focusing my all on somehow affecting it, I send her a mental message back.
<i><span style="font-weight:400">~Good. I’ll be on my way in a moment. Great job. I’m proud of you.~</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">And it partially seeds. The contents weren’t forcefully divided into almost moan-like parts and stayed as a whole, but the overall, slightly sensual style still apanied my words. No matter how you look at it, it’s a win. Possibly, the more I work on it the better it will get, but I don’t expect Sweet Whispers to ever stop sounding sweet altogether. Sirgia thanks me back, still in the broken fashion, and I can feel her happiness through our connection.
<span style="font-weight:400">Without dying it too much, I quickly move to my room to change my clothes into something more formal, which is of course my full suit, and leave the mansion, informing Elea on my way so that she can let others know if necessary.
<span style="font-weight:400">I head straight for Selina’s and push through the quite lively city. It’s pretty much the middle of the day currently and the weather is very nice, so that’s not unexpected. I’ll visit a few notice boards on my way back to check the posters. We’ll soon need to rece them after Neira prepares the expanded ones.
<span style="font-weight:400">I reach the peculiar, red building and enter inside. The very moment I step in, ady in thepany’s uniform approaches me and asks to follow her. She must have been waiting specifically for me so I do as she instructs and follow her lead to one of the more fancy meeting and showcase rooms.
<span style="font-weight:400">On my way there, Cornelia sends me a Whisper announcing her going to return now that I’m here. I agree with her, mentioning that Neira is waiting for her help, and enter the chamber the attendant points to me. Sirgia and Madam Selina are inside, sitting on the opposite sides of a coffee table.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Master.” My cute dwarf stands up instantly and bows a little.
<span style="font-weight:400">I raise my hand to acknowledge it and walk closer to them. Selina raises herself too.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wee again, stair.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nice to see you too, Selina. I’ve heard you already found something for me, even though I just barely sent my lovely servant to ask for your help,” I nod my head to her and sit down on the sofa at the same time as she does. Sirgia stands by its side.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ohohoho~ You know very well that I care a lot about my precious customers. Besides, the order was much easier toplete this time. Your little maid provided us with a lot of useful details and apanied us during the screening process herself, so it went pretty quickly. She already spoke with some candidates too.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I nce at Sirgia and she smiles shyly, dropping her gaze to the ground. She really tried to outdo herself for me. I’m pretty sure Selina figured out my wayspletely, so I move on the sofa closer to Sirgia and gently pull her wrist to bring her to me, seating her on myp and showering her in pats.
<span style="font-weight:400">The merchantdy smiles knowingly at the blushing dwarf in my arms and then at me. I smile back and turn my focus Sirgia.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, how many did you find?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I think around fifteen,” she answers quietly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Did you talk with them all?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Only with ten so far. I wasn’t sure how many you would want, Master, so I didn’t want to… ummm… give them false hope…” she answers again, slowing down at theter part and whispering it to my ear.
<span style="font-weight:400">I nod. As much as I’d want to say ''as many as physically possible’, we both know it’s not the best idea. I appreciate her thoughtfulness.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What about that ten then?” I ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Some of them are willing while others are still suspicious and distrustful.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. That’s to be expected. How many did you manage to convince?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Five.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I pat her head again and look at Selina. “Could I ask you to bring those five to us?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But of course. Excuse me for a minute while I arrange it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She stands up and leaves through one of the two doors present in the room. With her gone, I rotate Sirgia on myp so that she sits on it sideways, and cup her chin up, nting a gentle kiss on her cute lips.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you. Did anything ufortable happen?” I ask while brushing her cheek with my thumb.
<span style="font-weight:400">She smiles at me and nuzzles her face into my neck. “No. Everything went fine. I did my best.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I know. You always do.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She giggles and turns around after leaving a peck on my cheek, anticipating Selina toe back at any moment now. Before that returns, she jumps off me and sits by my side, saying that we’ll have to stand up to check on the ves anyway. She already has everything nned ahead.
<span style="font-weight:400">And a minuteter, Selina returns with a line of women of various races behind her. I recognize two Satyrs, a Lizardfolk, an Elf, and a half-blood Beastkin of some canine subrace. I''m not sure what exactly is her ‘breed’ as it may differ from the Earth ones.
<span style="font-weight:400">She doesn’t lead them onto the stage this time but orders them to stand in the free space in the room. They all nce at Sirgia and then at me, most likely recognizing the dwarf girl that spoke with them earlier. She hopefully mentioned a thing or two about me too.
<span style="font-weight:400">Like thest time, Selina leaves us alone to discuss things and promises to return in half an hour, telling the women to listen to me now. I ask them to sit down on the opposite sofa and some of them look at me with a bit of uneasiness. Only after Sirgia exins that there’s nothing to worry about they follow my request.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nice to meet you. My name is stair,” I decide to start politely, trying out Common, but it doesn’t seem to ease the worries of the more uneasy ones. “Did my friend here tell you about me and the ce I manage?”
<span style="font-weight:400">The satyrs and the beastkin meekly nod while the lizardfolk and the elf keep staring at me as if judging me or something. I hear Sirgia sigh on my side and I look at her. She stands up, moves to my front and climbs onto me while crossing her legs over mine. She then sits on my thighs and grips my vest, pulling herself closer for a kiss.
<span style="font-weight:400">That motion surprises me a little, especially since I can feel how embarrassed she is from this public show of affection as her heart is thumping loudly, but I figure out she must be aiming for something and I graze over her back as she rains little kisses on my lips.
<span style="font-weight:400">After a moment she stops and nces back at the women. “See? Everything I told you is true. Even though I’m a servant, Master is a really kind and understanding person, letting me do what I want, even if I want to… to… kiss him in front of others while I''m a Dwarf…”
<span style="font-weight:400">I chuckle seeing her face get increasingly red and pat her head. “You chose a weird way to prove your point, you know?” I move my gaze back onto them. “But, she is right. I’m looking for people who will work with me, not mindless ves. I’ll even get rid of your seals if you agree to help me. Since you are to be employed as maids and servants, you don’t have to worry about meying my hands on you. Besides, I have them full already with how clingy my lovely dwarf is recently.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Sirgia squirms in my embrace, hiding her flushed face in my suit. She cornered herself alone, now she has to suffer the consequences of her actions. Shouldn’t have bitten more than you can chew.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ummmm…”
<span style="font-weight:400">One of the other girls finally raises her voice and I nce at the young woman with dog ears and tail. The fur on them is light brown, just like her shoulder-long hair. I nod at her to speak.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’d like you to pick me, mister. I’ll surely be of use.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll be d to have you if you are willing.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She nods faintly and I can see her tail starting to wag excitedly even though she tries to show a neutral expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s your name?” I ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Rene. I’m a half-blood Dogkin and I’m twenty. My dad was an Elf while my mother was a half-blood too. I’ll try my best.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I nod at her with a smile. Now that I think about it, her features look slightly simr to the golden retriever’s but less… golden. I’m no dog expert. If there is a different name for these looking like them but with different colours, then that must be it. I barely remember some ssic ones.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hoping that the ice has been broken with this, I move my eyes onto the first person on my left, which is the Lizardfolk woman. Her scales are of a very dark green colour while the areas over her front and inner limbs are slightly lighter. She has piercing, acidic green eyes and seems to belong to the kind without hair. There are a few different subspecies as far as I know.
<span style="font-weight:400">Her reptile head has quite the distinct, feminine angles, easily allowing even someone like me to recognize her gender. If the two peaks hidden by a linen cloth over her chest weren’t enough of a hint.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yes, they do have breasts and even nipples. While they doy eggs, mothers can feed their newborns milk after they hatch, for the first period of their growth or something. As for how it works down there, it seems to be simr to mammals, but slightly different. They get fertilized the same way as Human girls, but after that, the birth process differentiates and eggs start forming. I don’t remember the details. It’s not like it’s important right now.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing my gaze on her, she sighs and bows her head a little. “My name is Dhosk. I’m from the Swamp Dragons tribe. I’m thirty-five. I guess I’m willing to apany you too if everything was really true.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t even have to ask what Sirgia told you to assure you nothing was a lie. I trust herpletely.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing my statement, Sirgia tries to finally slide off me to the side and sit there while facing the other girls. She is still a little red but tries her best to appear professional and dependable. Dhosk nods at her and then at me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll be happy to get out of this ce anyway. Tyriana, ny-four years old, High Elf. I’ll be honest, I n on returning to my settlement after the one year period ends. Don’t worry, I won’t run away before that. My pride wouldn’t allow it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">The blond-haired and blue-eyed beauty joins the conversation and I nod at her, epting her will. Now, only the two Satyrs are left. One girl seems to be around 160cm while the other is like 15cm taller I think. As for the other women, the high elf looks to be quite tall as their race usually is, the lizardfolk is somewhere around my height too, and the lovely looking dog girl is slightly shorter than me.
<span style="font-weight:400">The satyr girls both have dark brown hair and slightly lighter fur over their hooved legs, ending shortly under their navels where it switches into the skin, and short horns peeking out of their curly hair. They look very simr to each other, but maybe that’s a racial thing. Nevertheless, I decide to ask.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you girls sisters?”
<span style="font-weight:400">I ask in Sylvan to try easing their minds a little. Rene’s ears perk up when hearing it. Most of Beastkin also use it. The other two look at me curiously. I smile at them and refocus on the remaining duo. The taller one nods.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes, we are,” she answers in Sylvan too. “Could you… pick us both? I don’t want us to get separated, mister.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I don’t mind. I would hate myself for splitting you girls. If you are fine with working for me for a year, then you are wee to return with us.”
<span style="font-weight:400">They nce at each other and then nod. “Thank you. I’m Neiya and this is Meiya. We are both thirty-nine years old. We are good with nature, so if you have a garden, mister, we can do our best to tend to it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Guess it will get even more lively there soon. Alright. Everyone ising or does anybody have any second thoughts?” I ask back in Common.
<span style="font-weight:400">Everyone shakes their heads. We wrapped it up pretty quickly, so we spend the rest of the time chatting about the work awaiting them and also about themselves. I’m pleased to know that most of them don’t mind helping with baths if nothing indecent is involved there. Only the satyr girls seem hesitant and I’m not going to force them. I thought that the prideful high elfdy would be more against it, but she seems fine.
<span style="font-weight:400">Selinaes back and we finalize everything together, finishing with these five girls for now. She tries pushing us for a few more, but I politely decline. It’s better to let these women ustom themselves to their new ce first and Sirgia already did plenty of good work seeing through all of this, deserving a rest instead of another round of talking and screening.
<span style="font-weight:400">On our way back, we visit the usual tailor to receive some of the finished uniforms for the previous batch of new employees, and to take measurements of our today’spanions already. They need them soon if they are going to be focusing on maid duties.
<span style="font-weight:400">All the posters on the notice boards we visit are still intact, so we head home without any dys. The girls stop for a moment in front of the main gate to the mansion to admire the sight, not really sure if they believe that it will be their new home now. Sirgia urges them in, saying that it’s just the beginning, and we get inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">Elea and her squad are already waiting for us, missing only Neira. I can also see Nebu sitting on the railing above and ncing our way curiously. Emi obviously rushes into my arms, as usual, followed by the always kind and stoic Safi. I think the plethora of races is a bit too much for the new girls and they don’t know who or what to stare at. I’m pretty sure I catch Rene eyeing the big painting while salivating a little though.
<span style="font-weight:400">Now that I think of it, will it be fine? We now have a cat and a dog in here. I’m aware that most Beastkin subraces don’t function exactly like their Earth counterparts, but one can’t help but worry. I have a feeling that while Astrea is the typical, carefree cat type, Rene might turn into the loyal and loving dog type. I already can imagine their rivalry, hahaha.
<span style="font-weight:400">Anyway, Elea takes it on herself and her friends to introduce our new arrivals to the mansion and most of the quite light rules here. She also promises to verify their knowledge and train everyone in maid duties with her followers. These dark elves know a thing or two about serving like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">They leave to bathe first and I escort Sirgia back to her room to help her change. We get her into her smithing clothes fairly quickly and move down to her workshop. She pretty much runs back to her desk, that’s how much she missed working on her projects.
<span style="font-weight:400">I chuckle and report to her about the handcuffs, also checking on what other little things she started tinkering with from the list of gadgets I provided her with. She is currently focusing on the spatial enchantments and Teffith’s naginata so there’s not much, but I can see she picked up a few of them. My smile grows wider when seeing which ones exactly. I’ll have to visit the Queen again soon.
<span style="font-weight:400">After leaving her alone, I contact Neira and ask if I shoulde and she invites me to her workshop where I feel Cornelia’s presence too. Ie in and find them exactly there, sitting by a desk together and leaning over something.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, Al. You are finally here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wee back, Master.”
<span style="font-weight:400">They greet me as I walk closer.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you working on? I can’t say that I’m not curious about what my greatest magician and my greatest artist cane up with together.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Cornelia averts her gaze with a bit of rosiness appearing on her cheeks while Neira smiles brilliantly. She is still a little tsun-tsun and I love it. I peck her cheek to fluster her a little more and Cornelia elbows my stomach softly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It will be hard to sleep with him again if you keep acting like this, Cornelia,” Neira giggles and teases the other woman.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wha—?! Who cares about doing t-that again! Love is not all about sex!” Cornelia res at her with an even redder face.
<span style="font-weight:400">I tap both of their shoulders and chuckle. “Okay, okay. Cornelia is right. It doesn’t matter who did it how many times with me, I love you both equally.”
<span style="font-weight:400">My tsun magician proudly nods, but her expression soon changes while she stares at Neira’s lips. Seeing the dark-skinned woman grin faintly, her eyes widen a little and she turns a bit dejected, most likely realizing that Neira had one-upped her even though she joined the ranks of my lovers just recently.
<span style="font-weight:400">I pull her a little bit to the side and move my face closer to Cornelia’s ear, aiming to whisper to it in private.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You still haven''t collected your reward for the ancient magic and you are already piling on another with whatever you girls did here. You better cash in on them soon before they amount to more than your body can handle.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Cornelia shivers a little in response and she looks me in the eyes, nodding while biting on her lower lip. I chuckle and peck her cheek again before we separate and act as if nothing happened.
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, what am I looking at?” I ask, moving my gaze onto the desk littered with random pages from our menu cards.
<span style="font-weight:400">“<i><span style="font-weight:400">Ekhm, </i><span style="font-weight:400">I found Neira’s previous attempt at magical painting intriguing and we exchanged some knowledge from our respective fields,ing up with a few interesting ideas. We hope you like the first one. It’s ready.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She nods at the dark elf and Neira picks up a full menu card, handing it to me. I open it and flip through the pages. It’s great but nothing much changed. Then, she inserts her finger in between the pages when I’m going through the roster and stops me on the section with her dark elf friends’ portfolios. Her finger moves over Filue’s portrait and it soon loses all its colour, fading into various shades of grey.
<span style="font-weight:400">I raise my eyebrow and watch as she does the same with the three other girls on these pages, turning them back into colourful pictures afterwards with another stroke of her finger. Cornelia leans over my back and throws her arms over my shoulders. Her face shows up to the side of mine.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We called it reactive paint. I’ll skip the scientific and magical mumbo jumbo and just say that when it makes contact with mana, the mixture loses its colours and fades to ck, depending on how much energy gets transferred into it and what were the proportions of resources used in the product’s creation. After filling it up more than the mixture can handle, the change reverts due to all the mana getting released into the air, making it possible to loop it again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I nod in admiration. “Amazing. I guess it’s not something you can find anywhere?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I believe it’s first of its kind, Master. Even my family which deals in art didn’t have such a technique,” Neira answers. “But, we didn’t create it just because. With this, we can easily mark the girls that are unavable or currently working in the menu cards handed out to the customers. I think it’s a very useful and smart function to implement.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I chuckle and shake my head. “Truly, it is. You came up with something incredible. This will really help a lot and also take some burden off Cornelia’s shoulders. This is great.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Neira smiles and moves to peck my lips. Cornelia seems to be a little jealous as I feel a gentle kiss on my cheek where her head is too. We all chuckle together and I sit down to listen about how they came up with this and managed to pull it off. Looks like I can expect surprises not only from Sirgia but also from them now. Fun.
