Case 108: Almost smartphones.

Case 108: Almost smartphones.

''How long would it take to make one of these tanks in the future?'' I ask the middle-aged elf standing beside us.

''Now that we know what works, it'll be really quick, Your Holiness.'' He replies.

''How quick?''

''With enough material, one per week, perhaps?'' He ponders.

''That's insane.''

''But we still have to work on artillery pieces and fighter aircraft as well, so probably not that much.'' He shakes his head.

''I can understand that.''

I wonder when I'll be able to ride an aircraft... That would be a dream come true.

''By the way, Head Researcher.'' Dad interjects. ''Can you take out 'those'?''

''Oh, of course, Your Majesty.'' He replies.

The man opens his space bag and pulls out a relatively big box, for me, at least.

thud

He places it on the table nearby.

''Please open it yourself, Your Holiness.'' He grins proudly.

What, is it for me?

''Oh?!'' I exclaim, looking at the content inside the box. ''As expected of our researchers, you guys never fail to deliver!'' I give him a thumbs up.

''Thank you, Your Holiness!'' He bows lightly.

Looking around, the people working on stuff also seem to be slightly more motivated as well, with smiles on their faces and all.

Heheheheh... Finally, it's here...!

''Hu...'' I breathe out, flopping down the bed.

That steak was divine. I think our chefs improve again. We need to give them a raise.

''Sylvia.'' Tina calls. ''Where are we doing it tonight?''

The martial arts contest is still going on, and today's winner is Tina.

''Hmm...'' I ponder for a bit while my lovers climb on the bed as well. ''Can't we just do it here?''

'''' ... ''''

''You're going to evict us?'' Liana narrows her eyes.

''No, no. You guys can stay here if you like.'' I hurriedly reply. ''I've been thinking about it, what if doing this actually makes you guys sexually frustrated and not perform well in battles?''

''It does make me sexually frustrated, don't 'what if' with me.'' Liana coldly says. ''I still remember that 5-day streak...''

The 5-day-no-sex Liana was amazing in bed.

''So... Are we going to stop?'' Emy asks.

'''' ... ''''

''How about a compromise?'' I raise my index finger. ''Instead of not doing it at all, let's change the rule to 'not being able to use my lower holes'?''

''So handjobs and blowjobs?'' Liana ponders.

'''' ... ''''

''Here, let me... Sent. Did you guys receive it?''

''Yes, and this is my wallpaper from now on.'' Liana grins mischievously.

Eh?

''Me too.'' Emy adds.

''Me as well.'' Followed by Tina.

''I-I like the kneeling one better...'' Anna shyly says.

''...I won't stop you guys from setting my porn images as wallpapers, but please lock your screen properly, I really don't want strangers to see my nudes or after-sex compilation.''

''We don't want it, too. Teach us the lock screen stuff.'' Liana shrugs.

''Here, you go to settings and then there's this lock screen icon. Yes, that one.''

''Oh, you can set a lock screen wallpaper as well? I should have the bukkake one we did the other day on-''

''Please god...!''

The day passes and today is December 15th, Liana's birthday. We decided to have a small party with family and friends, most elves do this simply because we have too many birthdays to have a big one every year, it would be a huge pain.

''Are you ready?'' I ask Liana, who's wearing a goofy birthday hat for some reason.

''Sure.'' She replies.

''Three, two, one...''

fuuu

Liana blows the candles on the cake.

clap clap clap clap

'''' Happy birthday! ''''

''Congratulations on turning 22, Liana!'' I give her a peck.

''Thanks.''

''Our daughter has grown so much...'' Marchioness Seymour mutters, her eyes a little moist.

''Indeed.'' Marquess Seymour pats her wife's back.

''Do you have anything you want to achieve this year?'' I ask the birthday girl, who's staring at the cake since earlier.

''Just say it, daughter-in-law, we'll do our best to help you.'' Dad proudly says.

'''' ... ''''

Why does she suddenly seem so sentimental?

''I... I want to get engaged.'' She replies. ''I have no intention of leaving Sylvie anyway, wouldn't it be better to get engaged and then married as soon as possible?''

When she mentions marriage, my heart beats faster and I feel a warm sensation spread throughout my chest. A smile unknowingly blossoms on my face.

''Sure! We can all get engaged later.'' I grab her hand.

''Right?'' I turn to my other lovers, who all have smiles on their faces. They nod slightly, indicating their agreement.

It seems that I would soon have four wonderful fiancés.
