Power of Creation - Volume 1 - Chapter 39

“After the cat boy pulls his pants back up, you follow him with a glower on your face as he leads you over to where his sick “little sister” is. You have high hopes for her since he turned out to be such a disappointment. The result?

“Cough, Cough, big brother?”

A little girl is in a small room on a small bed. The bed is in rags, and so is the girl. This is barely a step above living in a cardboard box. Worst, the little girl is too little. She looks to only be about ten. This is far too young. It leads you into some dangerous territory here.

Still, the look on all of your girls’ faces, well, not the quadruplets, they still have dead eyes that you’ll need to fix at some point, but the other girls, you know that if you don’t help this girl they’ll think less of you. You put on a show of healing her, ready to just get this over with as quickly as possible.

“Th-thank you… you saved my brother and I. You’re our savior.” The sickly girl puts on a smile after you are done waving your hands around.

The color is returning to her face, and she is already looking like she has energy again.

“Yes, thank you!” The boy bows once, keeping his head down.

You give a sigh and nod, “Well, if you don’t mind, we’ll be on our way. I’m looking for a new house for my ha-, er… my household. I need a place with a lot of space.”

“Oh! If that’s true, I know a place!” the cat boy speaks up excitedly.

The place he speaks of is a mansion on the outside of town. There is a lot of land involved. It used to be owned by a lord. However, apparently the man was a summoner, and there was some rumor about the place being haunted that you really don’t pay attention to. Well, it’s not like if ghosts really did exist you couldn’t get rid of them quickly.

Going to some firm and actually buying the place seems like a hassle, so you cast a spell that does the work for you. Magic is nice. You go ahead and send the four sisters ahead to clean the place. With some magical motivation, they don’t even make a sound as they take off. You could do it all with magic, but you want your maids to have to work for their place.

When you’re done with that, you return to the room, ready to take your girls off on another adventure.

“There is good news, hero!” Ariel runs up and grabs your arm. “Jasmine here was just telling us that she can cook!”

“The little girl’s name is Jasmine?” You cringe.

“Ah, yes!

“Hmm… and what’s the brother’s name?” “My name is Elena!”

“What? Isn’t that just a girl’s name!” You shoot back.

“That’s the name I was born with!” He replies indignantly.

“Well, you were born with a girl’s name!”

The pair of you stare daggers at each other while Jasmine watches curiously and then snaps her fingers. “Does that mean Savior is in love with Brother Elena!”

“The hell I am!” You snap.

“What is sister saying!” Elena cries, a blush forming on his cheeks.

“It’s just that you guys fight like mom and dad used to… before. They’d go to their rooms after and then we’d hear this and that, remember Elena?”

Elena explodes in red at her explanation. You just shook your head in annoyance.

“Look, I got five beautiful girls here. If I was going to do this and that, I could do it with them. Or my maids. I don’t need some thieving street rat even if he does look like an adorable catgirl from a distance.” You explain.

Jasmine nods her head. “Ah, so it’s the catgirl you want to try, does that mean Savior will be having me?”

She says it in a surprisingly seductive voice while pointing to herself cutely.

“Sister!” Elena tries to admonish her.

“Eh, I’m not a pedo!” you respond.

Jasmine nods, “Then, I’m no good, it must be a brother after all. Everyone out, brother must give his all for my Savior.”

“What is sister saying!”

“I can’t even tell if you’re joking,” you shake your head. “But let’s just finish this at the mansion, I’m getting hungry.”

Somehow through all this, you ended up with a pair of problematic siblings. You guess that’s just the occupational hazard of forming a harem.
