Chapter 8 (8): How NOT to keep a low profile, part 6
As we were talking, I could faintly hear something or someone loud coming in our direction at high speed, but I didn't pay much attention to that, because I didn't want to interrupt the introductions. However, once I could make out the words that made up the loud sound, I held up my hand to get them to stop, and looked towards the open door.
”... NNNNNNEEEEE... EELLL... IIIIIISSSSS... SSSAAAAANNNNNNNEEEE... Oh, I'm so happy for you! Let us celebrate with a full seven course dinner tonight! I'll have the chefs make all of your favorites! Thank you, Miryuu! Thank you!” (King)
The king, having heard that I actually managed to cure Elisanne of her blindness, was screaming her name while running down the hall to her room at full speed, tripped when he tried to quickly stop in front of her door, and then he somehow caught himself on a passing butler, who had used earth magic to make himself an immovable pillar or something. Right after, the king threw himself into the room and straight into Elisanne's open arms.
”Father, you know that we're still here, right? You did interrupt us, though it was at a time that wasn't too disruptive, after all. Even so, calm down” (Haru)
”Actually, I think it was the perfect time. The author couldn't figure out how to progress from where they'd left off right before you interrupted us, so now they don't have to do so! It works well for everyone” (Ryuu)
”And if you had them make all of my favorites, I might get fat enough that I'd be unable to see anything for a different reason. It's hard enough trying to see past these huge breasts now, but... remember how hard it was for me to see when I was pregnant, and so they got a lot bigger and were propped up by my swollen belly? They were practically pushed up against my eyes! Now, imagine me getting fatter from all of that food, and what that would do. No sir, just a few dishes at once, please... though... I wouldn't mind another child, I would like to have some grandchildren, after all” (Eli)
”Please save the attempts to create another child until after we are no longer in the room, also-” (Haru)
”Oh, right. I forgot that you're still a virgin” (King)
”Uhh... Actually... I'm not... As of... a few months ago... and... uh... Ryuu? Could you...” (Haru)
”And you wouldn't need to have a second child to have grandchildren. My father had two mothers, thanks to the wonders of the Demon Lord's shapeshifting abilities. Similarly, like, six or seven generations back, one of my ancestors had two fathers. I don't want to imagine how that came about, but still. Also, if anyone asks how you're able to see, tell them that I used a rare medicine from my hometown or something. I don't want my healing magic to be spread about” (Ryuu)
After that, we decided to leave the two of them to work on giving Haru a sibling or three (as the wolfkin tend to have two to four children at a time) and were lead by a maid on a tour of the castle, ending up at Haru's room, which had a bed big enough for all of us to not only sleep on it, but all have sex on it, should we wish. The maid told us that we were all welcome to sleep in Haru's room, should we wish to do so, or get a few guest rooms should we want to sleep separately. She'd shown us how to get to the baths, the toilets, and how to summon a servant, should we need to do so. She even showed us three training areas, one large outside that was hardly used by anyone, a cluster of six medium size and a dozen or so small ones underground, used when people were wishing to work on a new technique in private, and one massive one used by the royal guards to train and practice, where we could watch them. With Mae being the captain's daughter, we could even join in at times, if we wished. Still, back to Haru's room.
”My bed wasn't this big the last time I was here... Thank you, Cecilia” (Haru)
”I live to serve you, your highness. Dinner will be served in about five hours. Would you like me to... assist you... in the baths? If so, would it be beforehand, later, both, or neither?” (Cecilia)
As she said the last bit, she turned a bit red and started to breathe more heavily, though she hid that rather well. Oh, right, she's the maid who made Haru realize she's into females, and who taught her how to most effectively stimulate another woman's body, using her own. The one who's in love with Haru, but trying to hide it. Hmm...
”Do you know who these guests are, specifically? I'm not talking about their names, but why they are here and treated as honored guests, especially ones who might sleep in my room” (Haru)
”I heard they are your party, as adventurers, and two are the daughters of nobility. Why do you ask?” (Cecilia)
”Because they are not just that. One of them is going to be my wife soon, and the rest are going to be her wives as well. I'm sorry, but if I wished for someone to assist me, I would ask Ryuu” (Haru)
”Oh, come now. I know what you two are trying to say without saying. She's helped you so much, I wouldn't mind if you took her on as a concubine or a second wife after we're married, if you two wanted to” (Ryuu)
”I... you... I... how... I... if you wish... I wouldn't be opposed... to... that... you know” (Cecilia)
”Neither would I... and if Ryuu is okay with it...” (Haru)
”I already said to all of you that I don't mind if you have your own harems, should you wish. Even if a man, a horse, or a dragon strikes your fancy, I wouldn't care... well, maybe I'd care about the dragon” (Ryuu)
”I'd care about the horse too” (Char)
”Well... uh... looks like I'm going to have to break up with Moonlight” (Ryuu)
