My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

Chapter 1536

“Master, you must take a bath!”

“Master, bath with me!”

“Master, I’m dirty. Clean me!”

“Stupid, you’re supposed to clean Master!”

Instead of waking up in the arms of several beautiful women, I woke up with several little girls on top of me. Each one of them had exotic colored hair, not unlike the fae. However, they weren’t that mysterious race from overseas that had once proceeded humans as the dominant species on this planet. These were little girls that Astria had once experimented with, attempting to turn human beings into fairies.

She had eventually explained to me her logic. In Gaia’s world, mana was a substance that connected the world with the people in it. It needed to be continuously consumed to keep the world working. Mana allowed people to level, earn jobs and cast spells. It was responsible for the vague concept of experience, which was why killing monsters netted you so much.

Fairies were the native species of such a world, and while base fairies were closer to an insect, with a queen bee that controlled all of the drones, they were also capable of growing and evolving into other beings by accumulating mana and molding it into new forms. These evolutions affected how the fairies could create mana. A sylph could create mana with wind, while a dryad extracted it from trees. It wasn’t clear to me exactly how they did this, and they weren’t even able to describe it. It’d be like me explaining how I breathed.

I also didn’t understand how the new fairy was made. It had something to do with fairy dust, which seemed to be like catnip for fairies. Ultimately, Astria’s goal had been to create more fairies like Celeste, who was a half-human, half-fairy. She thought that if she could make such powerful fairies like her daughter, she’d be able to take back the mana stream and rescue her daughter from it.

However, then I appeared and put a stop to her experiment. The little girls were healed and returned to their homes, only for them to turn out abnormal. First, their hair turned different colors. Then, they started exuding strange abilities. Ranging from about 8-13, their parents didn’t know how to handle the little girls, and they somehow ended up being hired by Faeyna, who was training them to be maids. They are neither fairies nor humans. They are different from the evolved fairies, another product of her experiments, but I didn’t use them in my battle for obvious reasons.

Now, about a half dozen little girls in maid-out fits were crawling all over me. I probably did stink a bit. I had been resting while the dungeon was growing and things were settling down. I was alone in bed because now that most of the girls were all back, they agreed they couldn’t do anything until Terra got her body back. It’d be pitiful if she had to watch the other girls have fun while she couldn’t even get in the bed with me.

Well, that didn’t stop the girls from sneaking into my bed for a romp, but that was a secret. Shao was a master of sneaking in the darkness, and Celeste could literally become any size and even become invisible. Miki could alter people’s minds and walk by any guard who wouldn’t remember her passing. As for Lydia, she also had her ways.

“Fine, let’s go bath.”

“Yay!”

Chapter 1537

It’s not like I’m a pervert, despite what a certain job that had just recently reach level 40 despite me avoiding equipping it said. Rather, I bathed with the little maids because Faeyna would often get too enthusiastic bathing me and then make a mess. It was better with the little girls exactly because I didn’t get excited. Rather, it felt a bit like I was preparing my mind and heart for the birth of my children. Of course, I still hadn’t found Raissa, and Eliana was busy in another country stabilizing it after I inadvertently stripped them of half their infrastructure.

So, every morning, I’d bathe with the little girls. I’d make bubbles to hide anything indecent, and they would bounce and play. Incidentally, they started looking forward to it and started demanding daily baths. The thing was, as partial fairies, they didn’t get dirty very easily, so there was no reason. I was usually the dirty one, and that had more to do with the dirty things I did with the girls the maids had started calling aunties.

I got up, making sure to keep my unmentionables from the prying eyes of the girls. They were extremely curious, so I had to be extra careful. As I opened the door, another headache appeared, saluting to me.

“My lord Master!” the lioness queen declared.

“I’m not your Master…” I said for the hundredth time.

“Another bath, Master?”

“We can bath you, Master!”

“I hate water!” The other lionesses shot a deathly look at the descender, who blushed. “B-but if it’s Master…”

“It’s okay, the maids will handle it,” I responded, trying to edge my way around the lionesses.

“Master! I’ve come to understand that you have a particular taste for little girls.” The lioness queen declared.

“That’s not the conclusion I want you to understand!”

“That’s why I’ve prepared a proper lionkin for my lord.” She pushed a girl out in front of her.

It was a little girl around eight, but she was a lionkin dressed in a bathing suit.

“What is this?” I cried out.

One of the lionesses poked the little girl staring at me with wide eyes. “Sister, say the line!”

“M-my lord! I-I am mentally prepared to give myself in service of you.” She spoke the rehearsed line nervously.

“I’m not interested.”

“My lord, you agreed to allow us to be your bodyguards, correct?”

“That’s certainly what Elaya and Lydia convinced me to do,” I muttered.

“There could be assassins in the pool! If you won’t allow us to bath with you, we must have at least one guard on the inside.”

“A guard?” I raised my eyebrow.

“I’ve trained her personally! In just another ten years, she was going to join the rest of the lionesses for that former man. She has talents in every area.” The lioness queen spoke proudly.

“Go on, sister, show him!” Another cat girl, I think she was third, poked her once again.

Sister wasn’t a title that the lionkin called each other either. By their similar appearance, I was pretty sure that was her sister.

“I’m fierce!” The girl made a pose, her nails coming out as she let out a cat roar. “Rawr.”

Compared to the roar the queen could deliver on her own, which was ear-splitting, there was mostly a squeak. I looked away, my face turning wooden. It was extremely adorable. I started to shake my head when her sister leaned forward.

“Switch to plan B!”

The little girl looked up at me tearfully. “Am I not wanted?”

My cheek twitched. “F-fine… I’ll take her.”

The lionesses cheered excitedly. I wasn’t a pervert. I just had a weakness for little girls. Wait… that’s not what I meant.

Chapter 1538

“Ahhh…”

“My-my lord, are you okay?”

“You’re doing it wrong!” One of the maid girls scoffed, you shouldn’t use your claws to clean his back.

I nodded. Perhaps it wasn’t so bad. The maid girls could help train the lioness girl. Maybe, she’d end up growing up sweeter and more gentle than the other lionesses. Although they were bodyguards, they got pretty forceful at times and didn’t like to be told no. As much as King Roth talked crap about my harem, his girls could also be willful.

Lydia had given me some insight into that too. They were testing me out and learning their limits. I had to give them a firm hand, or they might start walking all over me. I felt like I was a new pet owner who just brought a cat home from the pound. The problem was that there were twenty of them, and they wouldn’t hesitate to use any means to get what they wanted. Despite all that, Lydia could get them to behave instantly. They never acted up around her. I wished she wasn’t busy.

Her God soul had only just been put together before she raced to me. It wasn’t stabilized yet, and her Master had seemingly taken off after she chose to leave on her own. Our Soul Merging had helped stabilize it for a time, but she still had a lot of work and healing. Other than rest and drinking fairy water, Miki was also helping her two halves become truly united again. This meant that they were out.

All of the girls had found things to spend their time doing. They all had found hobbies. Most of the things needed doing so I couldn’t complain, but I seemed to be the only one who didn’t have anything to do. It had been nearly a week since King Roth was defeated and I was starting to feel antsy just sitting around. That’s why I decided I was going to go to the capital today. I could find out where Carmine was, and see if they had any information about Raissa or Salicia. I could also find out how Eliana was doing.

“I’m sorry! How are you supposed to do it?” the lionkin girl asked.

“Naturally, you use your chest.” I felt skin press against my back, and I straightened slightly.

“Eh? Really, like this?” I felt more skin press against my back.

“You have to use a lot of soap, and then you go up and down like this.” My expression started to whither.

“Are you sure it’s working?”

“This is Mistress Faeyna’s top-level technique! She naturally taught it to me. She says I’m promising!” The maid girl behind me declared.

Faeyna’s top-level technique was one I was also familiar with. However, these girls were lacking the assets that made it work so well. Faeyna could even scrub both of my shoulders at once. That wasn’t the problem here! What was the head maid teaching her students?

“Th-then… I’ll defeat you!”

“Hoho… it’s on!”

Even the youth seemed to have some healthy rivalry. I just wished the competition didn’t involve cleaning me.
