Volume 2 Chapter 30 Hikari-chan And Aria-chan’s Secret ★
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
About ten days had passed since I became the clan owner and merchant guild president. The dungeon exploration teams that Weed-san assigned were steadily conquering the dungeon.
We weren’t getting any lucky drops like the Agilaus Staff, but we were steadily earning magic stones at a slightly above average rate. Since Ranka-san said, ‘Hikari’s luck skill will be at its peak around tomorrow,’ we were expecting great results.
Chinatsu-chan couldn’t wait to discover and clear the treasure repository deep in the intermediate floors, but I told her not to rush things, and Weed-san was managing the team well. On the day luck was expected to be at its peak, Takumi-chan would also join the intermediate floor team.
Moreover, the clan named ‘Takumi-kun and His Merry Friends’ by Chinatsu-chan was receiving a steady stream of membership applicants. Many adventurers belonging to the McGaref Adventurers’ Guild were eager to join.
We didn’t plan to accept everyone, but if everyone were to join, the clan’s numbers would swell to several thousand. That would easily surpass the size of the McGaref Autonomous Government’s army. We were selecting only those whose personas we knew and having those we trusted vouch for them…
Kanare-san told me, “Now that Takumi-kun has become a prominent figure in McGaref, you’ll have to involve yourself in politics from now on.” Although I wasn’t a council member, I would have to participate as an observer.
Speaking of council members, Shiori-chan’s foster father was one as well. I was sure no one could have predicted that the lowly servant I was last month would end up here.
Ranka-san and Marina-san sent a few female slaves to my bedroom every day to tend to my needs. In addition to that, since the number of slaves they could sell had decreased significantly, they were rushing to restock.
I was intimate with various women, including girls my age and alluring older women. They all willingly accepted me and invited me closer. They showed their gratitude afterward. So far, there hadn’t been an opportunity to dominate defiant slaves like Ranka-san did.
By the way, the old Katarina Merchant Guild had connections with some despicable people who kidnapped and enslaved others. I had them all rounded up and bought their entire stock at a 99% discount, driving them into bankruptcy.
Since they had shady connections, every last one of them disappeared the next day. Thanks to Ranka-san’s prior investigation, we rescued the innocent families and decent employees. We enslaved those who had committed minor offenses. The smoothness of this operation was all thanks to Ranka-san’s ‘Business Acumen’ skill.
I wanted to return the kidnapped children to their families as soon as possible, but it was dangerous to travel in this world where thieves roamed. I decided to educate them for the time being and employ them in the guild, and I sent letters to their families.
This was how children who received guidance from Ms. Ranka and Ms. Marina would eventually become branch executives of the merchant guild, which showed that the world worked in mysterious ways.
This was how the clan and the merchant guild grew at an astounding pace, and we enjoyed fulfilling days.

”So, why are you wearing a maid’s outfit?” I asked.
Aria-chan regularly visited the president’s room, saying, “I came to clean,” or “I brought some tea.” She asked for kisses or hugs as a reward for good behavior, but she rarely asked for anything more intimate.
I thought Aria-chan was visiting today as well, but it turned out to be Hikari and Aria-chan. Moreover, Hikari was also wearing a maid’s outfit.
”Hikari is a maid,” Aria-chan replied proudly.
I frowned. “I mean, come on, let’s get a proper explanation.” Looking at Hikari’s expression, I saw her face was slightly reddened. Hey, this was the same expression she had when…
”Why are you a maid?” I asked.
”Because I performed a virgin service without permission while Aria-sama was away, I, Hikari, have been assigned all the responsibility for it,” she explained. “And Hikari will become a maid and serve under the maid captain, Aria-sama, on days when she doesn’t go to the labyrinth.”
Finally, a sane answer, though the content wasn’t exactly sane.
”Huh? When did you start being a maid? I’ve never seen you like this.”
”Hikari is not good at housekeeping, so I have been ‘educating’ her until now. I have also obtained prior permission from Takumi-sama,” Aria-chan said.
Come to think of it, Aria-chan had said, ‘There’s a problematic maid, and as the maid captain, I’d like to educate her. May I have your permission?’ and I, like an idiot, replied, ‘Sure, sure. Off you go then.’ At the time, my mind was occupied with the thought of having sex with Ms. Rusty, so I hadn’t thought about it deeply at all.
”When did you start this, Hikari-chan?” I asked.
”I made a mistake by performing the virgin service without permission, so it’s only right that I bear the responsibility. Besides, I’m enjoying the ‘education’ Aria-sama is giving me…♡” Hikari responded in a maid-like manner.
But I had a feeling something was off about her answer. I glanced at Aria-chan, and she averted her face. Yeah, this wasn’t just education, was it? It was more like ‘training,’ wasn’t it?
”Then, Hikari, demonstrate to your master the results of your education,” I said.
”Yes, Aria-sama,” she replied.
Hikari spread her legs and lifted her skirt in front of me. Her panties were visible, damp with affection. Her expression was that of the passionate woman I knew so well. Hikari was a slow burner—the more we were intimate, the more she transformed into this fervent creature, but today, she was already flushed without even taking off her clothes.
”My master, seeing me like this, has made me so flushed. Please forgive this lewd maid, Hikari,” she said with a shy smile.
Aria-chan responded firmly, “Hikari, it’s impolite not to show your true self to your master. As usual, go and take care of yourself.”
Following Aria-chan’s instructions, Hikari-chan nodded and discreetly adjusted her clothing. As she did, it was clear she was deeply affected, a sign of her growing affection and desire.
”My dear master, please observe the maid Hikari’s demonstration,” she said softly.
Hikari-chan didn’t hold back. She knelt and touched herself gently, her movements careful and deliberate. The image of her practicing daily was vivid in my mind.
”Hikari, do you think this will be enough?” I asked.
”Un… no, but please don’t be upset if I… take things a bit further,” she answered hesitantly.
Turning around, she continued with more careful motions, showing her commitment to the training she was receiving.
”My master is watching my true self,” she whispered.
I could only watch quietly. My beloved girl was showing her vulnerability and trust before my eyes. Meanwhile, Aria-chan moved behind me, gently taking my hand and offering comforting touches while whispering in my ear.
”Your Hikari’s dedication is inspiring, Takkun. It makes me a little envious,” Aria-chan said softly.
”Hey, Aria-chan. What’s this about? Even if you see Hikari-chan as a rival, you wouldn’t do this without a reason, right?” I asked.
”Un. You see, lately Aria and Hikari have been supporting each other closely,” she replied.
Hikari-chan seemed encouraged by being watched and continued her careful movements, clearly invested in the process.
”My feelings are so intense! Please watch the maid Hikari a little longer,” she murmured.
Aria-chan pressed her chest gently against Hikari’s back and continued her soft hand motions, lightly nibbling my earlobe.
”How is she getting like this?” I asked.
”Un. It’s similar to Ouji’s case, but this time it’s a bit different. After some difficult times, we’ve been helping Hikari manage her feelings,” Aria-chan explained.
I remembered the past—after Sakasaki-san’s passing, Ouji-chan was struggling mentally, so I asked Haruka-chan and Aria-chan to support him. It seemed Hikari’s situation required similar care.
”It seems that Hikari has to go through a lot of emotional growth,” I said.
Hikari-chan faced forward again, showing her determination and breathing steadily.
”My master, please accept me. I, the devoted maid Hikari, want your care and affection,” she said earnestly.
”Hikari-chan, tell me honestly. Is this a side effect of your ‘Ageman•Kiwami’ skill?” I asked.
That was the only explanation I could think of. I had heard from Ginga-kun that Nagasaka-san’s ‘Magical Power Transfer’ skill also had the side effect of increasing desire. Powerful skills often had their drawbacks. Hikari-chan’s skill seemed to cause strong feelings she struggled to control.
”Un, it is♡ I’ve been trying to manage it, but Aria-chan noticed and has been helping me find relief every day. This morning, my feelings became too strong… I’m sorry for causing trouble during work hours♡,” she said softly.
”Takkun, please be there for Hikari. As the main wife, I must support the others too. Show her kindness and help ease her feelings,” Aria-chan said firmly. “Hikari, come here. First, you will receive my master’s care. Then, fulfill your duties as a loyal maid.”
Aria-chan took my hand and guided me gently, increasing my support and encouragement.
”Un… I’m about to reach the peak, Hikari-chan. Open your heart and accept everything,” I said.
”Hai♡ Please let me share in your warmth… it feels wonderful♡” she replied.
I didn’t hold back and showed my affection fully. The moment was tender and sincere, and I could see it in Hikari-chan’s expression.
Aria-chan moved close to Hikari-chan and gave her a gentle kiss before fitting a supportive accessory she had prepared earlier.
”From now on, my master and I will support you thoroughly. If you accept your loyal maid self, then embrace this as a devoted helper,” Aria-chan said kindly.
Hikari-chan didn’t hesitate and accepted Aria-chan’s guidance. Following Aria-chan’s encouragement, I carefully held her and showed my affection. After some time away from duties, I helped Hikari-chan feel comforted and cared for.
