Volume 8 Chapter 1 A Flower in Each Hand
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
I walked all the way home with Camilla clinging to me, but she hopped down the moment my three lovers came into view.
It was a bit of a letdown to be back to just holding hands, but she seemed to be acting out of consideration for the others.
My lovers, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, were dressed casually.
They didn’t have the flashiness of party dresses, but they had clearly put some extra effort into their appearance for my return.
”I’m home. You all look great,”
”Welcome back… and thanks,” Juliet replied, acting a bit blunt.
”Welcome home, Daisuke,” Ines added. “It seems changing my clothes was the right call after all.”
”That’s right. Welcome home, Daisuke-san! ♪”
Juliet’s feigned indifference, Ines’s soft smile, and Sylvie’s beaming face were just as I remembered. I took turns hugging each of them.
”Daisuke, I’ve been weary of waiting,” Ines whispered.
”Sorry to keep you waiting, Ines,”
”No, I’m not blaming you,” she replied. “It was an official request from the Knights’ Order¹ that you couldn’t refuse. Nn…♡”
Ines and I exchanged a light kiss. We were technically outside, but since we were within the estate grounds and away from prying eyes, it didn’t matter.
Today, Ines was wearing a light green collared shirt with a darker green long skirt. Matching the shades like that was stylish. She was wearing the floral perfume I’d given her, which only enhanced her elegance.
And man, she was still huge.
Cassandra wasn’t small by any means, but Ines was absolutely overwhelming.
(I really want to get my hands on them soon…)
”Daisuke-san, I’m next! ♪”
”Sorry for the wait, Sylvie,”
”Hehe, it’s fine. But… mwah… slurp…♡”
I tried to hug her, but Sylvie pulled me in with surprising force and gave me a deep, wet kiss. Her aggressiveness was as impressive as ever. She smelled of a woody-toned perfume—a calming, nostalgic scent.
She was wearing an off-the-shoulder knit top with a fishtail skirt, a rare combination for her that worked surprisingly well. The light, soft feeling of holding her was something only Sylvie could provide.
”…I’m not going to do something like what Sylvie did,”
”I know, I know. You’re just shy, Juliet,”
”You don’t have to say that… nn. …Fuu♡”
Juliet and I hugged and locked eyes. She closed them, waiting for a kiss, and I didn’t hesitate.
She claimed she wouldn’t do what Sylvie did, but I had a feeling if I went for a deep kiss, she’d melt right into it.
Juliet was wearing a simple yellow sleeveless shirt and a thin white cardigan. Her tight black mini-skirt was practically radiating s*x appeal. She wasn’t wearing perfume, but she had her own wonderful, natural scent.
Among the three of them, she was the one pressing her body against mine the hardest.
It was enough to make me get an erection.
(I’m pretty sure Juliet is actually sniffing me right now…)
”Was the request okay?” Ines asked.
”Yeah, for the most part, there weren’t any issues,”
”So there were issues,” Juliet interjected sharply.
”Uh, well…”
”Now, now, it doesn’t matter,” Sylvie said, smoothing things over. “The important thing is that he’s back safe and sound.”
Juliet was as sharp as ever; a tiny slip of the tongue was all she needed to catch me. I sent a silent thanks to Sylvie for the save. We went inside and I sat on the sofa, but I didn’t have much time to relax. I still had to pick up Meta.
”I’m sorry to do this right after getting back, but I have to head out again for a bit,”
”Is it urgent?” Sylvie asked.
”In a way, yeah. I’ll introduce her to everyone properly later, but I’ve gained a new lover.”
”I don’t mind that, but… is it one of the people you mentioned before?” Ines asked.
”There shouldn’t have been anyone to make progress with during the request period, right?” Juliet added, her eyes narrowing. “Were you perhaps coming back early in secret?”
”No, no, nothing like that,” I said quickly. “She’s someone I met about a month ago on the thirteenth floor of the dungeon². She was also taking part in this request. We just got back to the Capital a moment ago.”
”…I see. Well, I’ll believe you,” Juliet said.
”Thanks.”
I had narrowly avoided Juliet’s suspicion. I’d definitely done quite a bit with Cassandra while I was away, so I couldn’t exactly claim my heart was pure white. Sylvie and Juliet were sitting on either side of me, while Ines took a single-person sofa. The slave girls sat on nearby chairs; they didn’t interject, clearly mindful of their status.
”Did you hit it off during this request?” Sylvie asked.
”We were close before that, but her party disbanded after this job. She was lost on what to do next, so I half-jokingly suggested she come live here, and she actually said yes. Becoming lovers was just the natural progression of things.”
”That’s rare for you, Daisuke,” Juliet noted. “Especially since you have ‘those Skills’.”
”True,” Ines agreed. “There must be a good reason for someone to fall for you so quickly.”
”I’d love to hear more about her,” Sylvie said. “What is she like?”
”She’s a Priest, a bit older than the rest of you. She has a very calm, sweet personality. Her name is Meta, and she’s moving in today, so I’m going to go pick her up.”
(I’m fairly sure she’s actually younger than Sylvie, but I’m definitely not touching that subject.)
As I stood up to leave, Camilla trotted over to me. “Master, are you going out?”
”Yeah. I’ll be back soon, though,”
”May I come with you?”
”Hmm, I think that’s fine.”
I didn’t think Meta would mind, and I felt bad for leaving Camilla alone so much lately. I wanted to be with her as much as possible. “Alright, let’s go. Camilla oide.”
”Yes!”
I called out to the group, and Camilla came flying into my arms as I hoisted her up.
”Daisuke, would you mind if I joined you as well?” Ines asked.
”Eh? Oh, sure. Tell you what, let’s walk arm-in-arm,”
”Hehe, I’d love that♡”
”Then I want to go too! ♪” Sylvie jumped in.
”…I’m coming as well,” Juliet added.
”Otomoshimasu,” Liese said.
”Atashi mo!” Ilse cheered.
”Ahaha, looks like it’s a group outing then.”
It seemed everyone was a bit restless after my absence. It wasn’t exactly what I’d planned, but knowing they all wanted to be near me made me happy.
I couldn’t just favor Camilla, so I walked with my lovers on my arms and my slave girls holding my hands. From an outsider’s perspective, I must have looked like the world’s most shameless playboy.
”Is it hard for you to walk like this?” Ines asked.
”I’m fine. I’m just happy to be walking with you, Ines,”
”I feel the same way♡ Haa… being with you makes me so happy, Daisuke♡”
Ines’s smile was like a flower in full bloom. The gap between her usual dignified appearance and this doting side was incredible. I decided to ignore the fact that she seemed to be acting a little “in heat.”
My arm was currently sandwiched between her massive breasts, and I was fully enjoying the soft sensation. She might be a novice at this, but she certainly knew how to target my weaknesses. (Keep it up, Ines…)
”I’m just glad I got back safely,” I said, turning to my other side. “Now I can walk like this with you again, Juliet.”
”…Idiot. (I’m happy too, though…)”
When I praised her, she gave me her usual prickly response, but her grip on my arm tightened significantly. I could feel the firm, elastic pressure of her chest pushing back against me. Her cat ears were twitching with joy, and her tail had wrapped itself around my leg. It made walking a bit difficult, but I wasn’t about to complain.
”I knew it! This is the best way to stay close to you, Daisuke-san! ♪”
”That’s my Sylvie,”
Sylvie was essentially leaning into me in a way that felt like a princess carry. She seemed to love this because it made kissing me easy. Only Sylvie would be this bold in public.
”Goshujin-sama, I… well…” Liese started.
”I won’t force you if you’re uncomfortable, but I’d like to be close to you too, Liese,”
”…I understand,” she said, tentatively taking my hand. It was a cute departure from her usual serious demeanor.
”We live together, but we don’t usually get to do stuff like this,” Ilse laughed. “I like it!”
”Me too,” I agreed. Her boyish charm was irresistible, especially knowing how erotic she could be.
”Mmm-fufufu~♪ Goshujin-sama~♪” Camilla was in high spirits, rubbing her cheek against my hand as we walked.
As we neared the inn, I saw Meta already waiting outside. She was wearing plain Priest robes, but her posture was beautiful.
”Sorry to keep you waiting, Meta,”
”Daisuke-sama! Thank you for coming to get me♡”
Since we were in public, the others gave us some space. I pulled Meta into a hug, savoring that plump, soft feeling. Her luggage was neatly packed, just as I’d expect from the reliable Meta. I tossed her things into my Item Box³ and turned to the group.
”Everyone, this is my new lover, Meta.”
”It is a pleasure to meet you all,” Meta said with a polite bow. “My name is Meta. I have recently become Daisuke-sama’s lover. I am still quite inexperienced, but I look forward to working with you.”
She was a bit stiff, likely because it was our first meeting. Come to think of it, Meta was usually ice-cold toward anyone who wasn’t me, so this was actually a very polite start. I’d have to help everyone get along.
”I am Ines. It’s good to meet you,” Ines said.
”Juliet.”
”I am Sylvie. You’ll have to tell us all the stories later, okay?”
”Liese, you girls should introduce yourselves too,”
”Yes. Meta-sama, I am the slave Liese. It is an honor,” she said.
”Camilla desu.”
”Ilse desu!”
Even Ilse managed a proper greeting. Camilla was shy as always, though.
”I was going to come alone and introduce you later, but they all insisted on coming along,” I told Meta.
”Well, it simply shows how much you are adored,” Meta said with a beaming smile. “As expected of my Lord♡”
”Meta-san, you really do love Daisuke-san, don’t you?” Sylvie asked.
”Oh, yes♡ I have no need for any man other than Daisuke-sama.”
”Well, that’s… a bit extreme,” Juliet remarked.
”Meta has her reasons,” I said, stepping in. “We can chat more later, but for now, let’s head home.”
I’d intended to walk back the same way, but with four lovers and only three slaves, the math was off. Liese insisted on stepping back, so I ended up walking with a lover on each arm.
”Thinking back,” Meta whispered, leaning in, “this is the first time I’ve walked with you like this, Daisuke-sama.”
”You’re right. Sorry for the wait,”
”Oh, it’s no trouble at all. I would wait forever for you.”
”That’s sweet, but I still want to make it up to you. Let’s go on a real date, just the two of us, very soon.”
”Oh! ♡♡ I would love that! Please! ♡”
I’d already been on dates with the first three. Meta and I had basically only ever gone to short-stay inns. Given how we met, it couldn’t be helped, but now that she was officially my lover, it was time to treat her right. Meta seemed thrilled. As for the others, I still needed to hear their “requests.” Once we got back home, I’d talk with each of them one on one.
