Chapter 354

“It’s fine. We’ll think of something.” I said.

By something, I, of course, meant returning to the dungeon in Dirage. After the battle with that crazy demon lord, I realized that my girls needed to be much stronger if we wanted to live a peaceful life. Plus, I’d grown accustomed to the flow of money that dungeons got me. To think that I had built up thousands of gold, and now it was all gone. Elves are pricey. Well, I tried not to make her feel any guiltier than she already did.

Faeyna showed me my master bedroom, and then took the other girls to their bedrooms. This Mansion was small. That was to say there were only about twenty bedrooms in all. That was plenty of room for everyone to have a bedroom. Technically, there was a slave quarter too, which was a shed out back that could fit ten, but I told the girls that wasn’t necessary.

The girls all went to their bedrooms. However, I suspected once the novelty of it wore off, they’d all end up back in my room. That seemed to be how things were. Well, at least for Lydia, Miki, Celeste, and Terra. I hoped the other two girls wouldn’t get too attached. There was a reason I was trying to be distant with them. My four girls and I had traveled together, slept together, and fought life and death battles together.

Salicia and Carmine were just here because I felt bad for them. I’d definitely have to lay down a couple of rules for them tomorrow, but for the night I’d let them also get acquainted with the mansion. I just hoped Salicia didn’t steal anything. I had already given her such an order, but maybe I needed to make it a Slave Order to stick with her. Somehow, the thought of her writhing in pain didn’t disturb me like the other girls.

As I entered the room, I could only be surprised once again. It was plenty large enough for all the girls. In fact, my previous living space on Earth wasn’t much bigger than this room. To think, this was a small mansion. My mansion in Chalm was supposed to be about four times the size of this one, at least according to the blueprints I was shown. There was a big bed in the room. Compared to the hotel room, there would be space for all of us. In fact, I could probably add a few more girls.

No! What kind of thought was that! I wasn’t a pervert who wanted a collection of beautiful women. Those four were naturally enough, and perhaps Faeyna too. I absolutely under no circumstances would allow Salicia and Carmine in our bed. Unless they asked nicely. Well, if they asked nicely, I wouldn’t be able to refuse them. That’s a given.

As I was thinking such thoughts, an arm wrapped around me and there was a glint of cold steel that suddenly touched my neck. Seriously? A robber? Or worse… an assassin? Had Lord Tibult been bolder than I gave him credit for? I prepared my healing spells immediately in case they cut. Like that, I had a chance to live.

However, I suddenly felt their face pressed against the back of my neck. I heard sniffing noises. Considering I couldn’t see who it was, this definitely creeped me out.

“I smell the scent of a woman on you.” A feminine voice suddenly declared. “My love has been unfaithful…”

The voice sounded cold and angry. Although, I instantly recognized it. It was the voice of Shao, the demon lord! How did she get into my bedroom!
