Zell's body was fully recovered, as he carried two huge boars and several rabbits tied to his waist.
Most technologies had been destroyed in the world as it was, and every satellite and data cable was destroyed last night; normally, there would have been a second merger where the game world still existed, but now it was almost entirely fused with reality.
Thus, the demons were free to invade slowly, but the limitations stopped the Demon Kings and Seraphim from descending to Asteria, but that was only for now.
Zell knew this would not give him long, maybe a few months, but like this, he'd already lost 2 years from the expected 5.
'Fuck, this life is so unpredictable.'
The expansion of the planet also wiped out most of the internet, with only a small, slow wifi still existing thanks to the efforts of the divines before the end.
Because the two worlds merged, it affected many things, as the planet began filling with mana for the first time since its creation; never before had Astera had its mana.
This meant that any creatures that used mana would gradually weaken, unable to fully regenerate without using special methods, like the fairies and the moonlight or dryads and the forest.
'Hmmm, I wonder what those three will ask of me...' He wondered as he approached the meeting place; he would spend at least 4 hours with his girls today.
Nora, the adorable badger who let him use her ass for sex; Cynthia, the cute girl that changed her race to a fox to help him better; and his original, the blaze rabbit Rika, for too long had he ignored her presence.
He arrived where the others were already waiting for him, with plenty of food prepared by the three women.
A lot of meat was on the table, but no one took their eyes off, Zell.
"Oi... what will I do with these gifts now? Will I throw them away?" He joked, showing the meat and animals to them.
"No~ the meat is too tasty to waste!" Nora growled as she helped pull the two boars down, then snatched the little rabbits; for some reason, she swung the rabbits like little nunchucks
"Hahaha! Rika, look, it's your cousins! I will make them into a stew!"
The floppy ears of the stern Rika flickered before she looked at the cheeky badger with the fat ass, her eyes narrowed as her caramel skin shone in the barbecue's flames.
"Shall we try eating badger meat, master?" She asked, eyeing the cheeky girl up and down.
Nora paused for a moment before nodding slowly. "Yes, we can give it a try!" The badger cheered enthusiastically as she pulled down her pants before pushing her lower body into Zell's face.
"Heh~ eat some 100% high-quality badger meat! Ass or pussy, it's always ready to be sampled!"
Pah!
Zell's hand slapped Nora's voluptuous butt as she fell over and rolled in the mud, her eyes pretending to be sad. "Ahhhh~ honey, you killed your wife! Her ass is now marked forever... you need to kiss it better!"
"...." Cynthia was silent, her little cheeks swollen as she kept putting more and more meat into her mouth; she watched the exchange as Rika began to beat Nora, the two rolling in the dirt as they both tried to get the affection of their master.
In Cynthia's eyes, it wasn't two women, but the old rabbit and badger fighting like in the past because Zell fed one before the other or he praised Nora for her special skills.
"These two were always so stupid..."
However, she noticed the nostalgic and happy look in her master's eyes, causing her heart to skip a beat... "I can't sit on your shoulder anymore and chew nuts... how sad..."
Her body shifted towards him, spooning some of the hot, meaty strew into his mouth; as her shoulders tapped against his, the muscles in his arms felt great to lean against.
"But I can suck on his nuts instead..." Cynthia added.
"Hahaha! This is amazing! Just like old times!" The badger's face was painted with pleasure, with her tail twitching as she rushed to the safety of her master's lap, sitting down on his lap, her plump ass pressing against his crotch, making sure to wiggle and rub against him before turning round with a cheeky grin.
Rika's hair was slightly messy as she walked over, her face a little dirty from Nora's cheap tricks.
"Girls... you never change, haha..." He sighed as he rubbed their heads, watching the two of them look at him as if he was an idiot for not realizing this sooner.
"You're finally back~! We've been waiting for you! You know, we were so lonely without you..." Rika grinned as she sat down next to Zell, then kissed him before pulling her head away, her lips sucking on his tongue as she swallowed his tasty saliva with a delighted face.
"Ahhh! Rika stole the first kiss!"
"Shut up; I'll beat you; your fat ass is rubbing against master's cock!"
"Heh heh~ are you jealous?"
"Tsk..."
"Don't fight, be good girls like Cynthia."
Zell leaned back, his hands now stroking both Cynthia's soft blonde hair and Rika's silky white hair; as the three of them enjoyed the barbeque together, it was a strange event where the bickering of the three never ended.
An hour later...
Nora kissed Zell gently while the other girls were cleaning, enjoying each other's company. It was a nice feeling, having all of them there, even though they sometimes got into fights when trying to impress Zell.
After cooking everything, Cynthia and Rika cleaned the grill, removing the leftover ash and grease. They did it quickly, wanting to join their master again.
After they finished, Nora turned around, looking at Zell as she smiled.
"Master~ kiss me more; you left me alone for so long, don't leave me again; promise you won't make us leave you again... I won't ask for anything again... copulation or anal... I'll be good, okay?"
Her voice sounded sweet and innocent, yet it made Zell feel guilty about leaving her. His chest ached as he remembered being separated from the rest of the group.
His mind flashed back to when he woke up, confused and scared. All he could remember was dying and feeling pathetic, thinking he put his former pets at a distance because of that stupid system.
"Nora, don't ever leave my side. I don't plan to send you away, not even to another quest or task... stay near me; I don't care if you like it in the ass or if you want to do strange things... Please forgive me for abandoning you for so long."
She nodded happily, her face shining brightly as she hugged him tightly, kissing his neck.
"Thank you, Master~ I love you very much~!"
Rika watched with warm eyes, although she liked to bully Nora because she felt like the eldest sister, wanting to help her cope with the loneliness by forgetting Zell when they played and fought with each other.
In honesty, when they were the only ones that chose to be reincarnated, it was Nora alone... Rika planned to meet him instantly, becoming his pet, but the moment she heard Nora would reincarnate alone, it would be 20 years before she could meet him...
She followed because Rika loved her many sisters, even the new ones like Anya and Tessa, never caring if he didn't come to her. After all, she had so many younger and older sisters to comfort her.
Nora's arms wrapped around Zell's neck as she kissed his cheek, sucking on his skin with a loud pop before leaning closer to his ears and whispering.
"Don't forget Rika; please give her a wonderful romance... Although she looks fierce and is a pervert, in her heart, she's girly and romantic of us all..."
"She dreams of marrying you in a big white dress, with everyone watching and supporting you... I know many women helped more than us... but please... Remember who fought for you... fought for all of us until her fur began to shed, and her eye was blinded..."
The many memories of his life as the former "Zell" began to play through his mind; the number of times Rika died for him... was over 9,000 causing his eyes to become slightly wet before he looked back at Nora sitting in his lap.
Zell returned to the present with a smile, watching Rika walk over to him with a naughty grin.
"Hey, Zell..."
Before she could speak anymore, Zell's body vanished with Velos, appearing behind Rika, and scooping her off her feet, carrying her like a princess as he gazed at Cynthia and Nora, both of the girls now standing together and holding hands, with a big smile.
"Ah~ let me down... it's embarrassing... master, my butt is showing.... only you can see my body..."
"Fufu~ big sis is so cute."
"I didn't know Rika could be so shy."
Both girls giggled as they patted Rika's butt, making her blush and embarrassed.
"Stop it! My ass isn't something to show off!"
"Fufu~ we'll take the rest of the meat to the village; make sure you have a nice date!" Nora teased before whispering something into Rika's cute ears, which fluttered as her face turned bright red, while Cynthia just smiled, waved at the pair, and carried the cooked meat.
"See you later, master~ and big sis!"
"Oi!! Don't leave... Today was for all of us!"
"See you~."
