Now that the formalities have been completed, we left the room with Miria. As I expected, Miria is barefoot, so when we come out of the building, I give her a pair of Leather Boots to her.
Well then, put these on, Miria.

She says that shes sorry for receiving these shoes in addition to fish.
In other words, she still wants fish above all else.
Its also for use as her equipment in the Labyrinth, so she doesnt need to thank me.
When Roxanne translates it, she accepts the shoes and puts them on. I add her to my Party and then we returned home via the Imperial Citys Adventurers Guild. Immediately upon arriving at home, Roxanne explains something to Miria.

She says that its unbelievable for an Explorer to do that.
Were they talking about Warp?
Explain it to her and tell her that it needs to be kept secret.
Understood.
Because its bothersome, I leave it to Roxanne. When Miria listens to Roxannes explanation, her expression turns respectful. However, exactly what Roxanne explained to her remains unknown.
Whatever, its not like I mind being respected, because I know how scary she can be at times.
Once again, I am your master, Michio. Ill be in your care from now on.
I put my hand on Mirias head. After confirming that there was no resistance, I start to caress it and play with her cat-ears for a bit. Theyre so soft!I was of the idea that they would be a little bit stiffer, but theyre not. Theres a cushion of soft, white hair inside her ears, andthis fluffy feeling of touching it is what true bliss feels like.
If she successfully manages to say those words, then next ones that I am going to teach her are going to beFu. Fufufu..!!!
The excitement stemming from the possibility of having a cute catgirl calling you Big Brotheris something else entirely, and I absolutely cannot wait for her to start calling me like that! I mean, what can even come close to the thrill of being called like that? Thats right, nothing can even come close to it!
Big Sister.
Yes, Miria, very good.
Alright, that was good enough. So now that I taught her how to say Big Sisterin Brahim, the next words that I am going to teach her how to say are going to be.
I was about to teach Miria how to say the words Big Brotherin Brahim and tell her to start calling me like that, but then in the corner of my eye I saw that Sherry was looking at me as if she just saw something that she wanted to scrape off the sole of her shoe, or as if I was the absolute worst kind of trash alive. That is how intense her glare was right now.
Whats wrong, Sherry? Whyre you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong? No, it must be my imagination. Her looking at me in this condescending way has to be just my imagination playing tricks on me. It absolutely, definitely, one hundred percent had to be my imagination. Either that, or I have finally gone off the deep and became too paranoid to properly discern what is real and what is not real.
A-And this girl right here is Sherry. Including you, the four of us are the only members of my Party for the time being, but as the time goes on, we are going to be adding more of them.
Damn it! Whats wrong with me? Why am I acting so scared and stressed, as if I had done something bad that I am supposed to feel regretful for?!
Well, at the very least, Ive made it crystal clear that Ill be expanding my harem in the future, and I didnt hear any voices of objection so far, which means that the girls must be on board with that course of action for now.
And if they didnt support it anymore. Well, my work with creating my own harem has already begun, and it would be foolish to stop halfway now, so I have to make sure to strike that iron while its still hot, and that is why I made sure to inform Miria about this right now at the beginning of her new life as my third slave: so that she was perfectly aware of my intentions and didnt end up too attached to me due to her own misconceptions.

She says that she had a younger brother, so shell do just fine.
Miria sticks her chest out proudly. Well, I understand that you feel like this is something of an accomplishment, but really, theres no need to be dragging your younger brother into it.
All right Miria, lets talk about your Job next. Since youre going to be entering the Labyrinths together with us from now on, is there any particular Job that you would like to have equipped?
While asking that of Miria, I open my Party Job Settings and scroll all the way down to the screen that had all of Mirias possible Jobs listed out. They were the following:
Diver Lv.2, Villager Lv.5, Merchant Lv.1, Explorer Lv.1 Warrior Lv.1, Pirate Lv.1
Six possible Jobs in total, but none of them were high-level ones. As for the Pirate Job, she most likely acquired it as a result of fishing in a restricted area, similar to how I obtained my Thief Job after I took the Sandals that didnt belong to be from the barn in Somara village when I was first transported to this world.
