Volume 12 Chapter 1 Part 2

「Of course.」

And that is how Rutina joined our Party. And if she joined my Party, then you know what that means, right?

That’s right, that means that she’s become a part of my harem as well.

Rutina is pure and beautiful, just like you would expect from an elven girl born into a noble house. Judging from what she just said, she also seems to have a pretty strict moral code as well as a strong sense of justice, as it was indicated by her guilt at not being able to do anything to push the matter of the subjugation of the Labyrinths even a little bit further.

Well, it’s not like it’s her falult, because she herself didn’t do anything bad.

Actually, in comparison to her, I, a person who has somehow ended up in here after being transported to this world from Japan, am like a plant that has failed to take roots in the ground that it was planted on.

The only reason why I have entered the Labyrinths and started killing the monsters dwelling inside of them is because I needed the steady source of income to support the kind of life that I have been living ever since I came into this world, but if it wasn’t for that, then I would’ve probably never have taken initiative to start going in there myself, but can you really blame me for it?

Also, in order to explore the Labyrinths effectively, you need Party Members to do that, and for me, Party Members are basically my harem members, so more Party Members equals more harem members.

But there’s no way that I could ever say to them that this is my only reason for going into the Labyrinths.

「Since it’s already so late today, let’s just take a bath and go to sleep, okay?」

「Are you really going to be taking a bath right now?」

「Yes, that’s not a problem for us. We’ve all been through a lot for the last couple of hours, so let’s take this chance to take a nice, long, hot bath and relax.」

「I understand. Yes, you might be right about that.」

Roxanne also agreed with the idea of us taking a bath right now, and you know how it is: Roxanne’s approval to do something can be treated as the approval of all the other members of my harem.

There are no exceptions allowed from the decisions that she makes. If she agrees to something that I said, then that thing goes.

And so, I quickly run upstairs and started preparing the bath for everyone while leaving the rest in Roxanne’s capable hands.

「Uhm…. He said a bath, did he not?」

While heading upstairs I thought that I heard Rutina’s bewildered voice, but that must have been my imagination. There’s no problems. Just don’t think about it, and everything’s going to be fine.

When I reached the bathroom, I started making the preparations right away with Water Magic and Fire Magic. Now that I have access not only to the Mage Job, but also the Wizard Job, the task of preparing the bath should be that much easier to complete, and upon closer inspection, I think I did managed to prepare the hot water that was just right for a bath in record time.

「Master, have you finished preparing the bath now?」

When I saw Roxanne peeking her face into the bathroom, all the tension that I was feeling was gone in a flash.

She must’ve finished persuading Rutina to take a bath together with all of us already.

「Yeah, I think this should be just about enough.」

「In that case…」

Ohhhh! Here it is! The beautiful Roxanne who’s not wearing anything has appeared before me once again!

Soon afterwards, Sherry, Miria, and Vesta entered the bath all undressed as well.

Their entrance was a grand and majestic one. Like The Entry of the Gods into Valhalla. Only in this case, it was more like The Entry of the Goddesses into Valhalla Castle.

Is the bathroom of this house a Valhalla now?

After Vesta, Rutina also entered the bathroom while wearing little more but a towel.

Whoa! What a wonderful sight! Her young, white skin looked like it almost shined in the dark. She looked refined, neat and full of dignity even as she couldn’t help it but to twist her body in embarrassment. But no matter how much she tried, there was only so much that she could hide from me with just that one towel.

And even then, she possessed a charm that she couldn’t hide even when she tried to hide it. That temptation of hers is truly beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

To say that she’s looking great would be doing her a huge disservice.

I hurriedly released the last Spell that I was using to heat up the bath and jumped outside, taking off my own clothes in a matter of seconds and going back into the bathroom immediately afterwards.

No, have I already forgotten? I am not entering the bathroom. I am entering the Valhalla castle.

Lupin Dive is something that I can definitely do.

「What you did just now, was that magic?」

Those were the words that Rutina greeted me with when I entered back into the Valhalla castle. Her eyes were also sparkling.

「Y-Yeah, it was.」

It is very nice that your eyes are sparkling like that, but I can see a lot of things when you’re standing so close to me like that, you know?

Nevertheless, I’m glad.

「I already heard that you are capable of using magic, but only after seeing it myself I am able to believe it.
「That’s right, I can use it.」

「Is that so? Those are some truly wonderful news. With that, it certainly looks like you really should be capable of subjugating the Labyrinth!」

I am glad that such a beautiful, half-naked lady is praising me with sparkling eyes, but I would’ve preferred it if she was doing that for an entirely different reason.

「Yes, of course.」

Roxanne, you don’t need to answer on my behalf when I am standing right here.

Also, looking at Rutina’s body only made me want to wash it right now, without having her wait for her turn.

I want to massage her every inch with soap. I want to caress her with the loving strokes of my hands… but the order comes first.

I began to wash the girl’s bodies, starting with Roxanne. Even though I want to get to Rutina as fast as possible, I cannot allow myself to cut corners here, not after we have established that the order is so important.

Roxanne’s skin is moist, sticky, and the soap rinses off of it incredibly well.
I enjoy the smoothness of her skin, the elasticity of her meat buns, and the smoothness of her lubed body.

This is a sensation that I am never going to get tired of.

I also washed Sherry, Miria, and Vesta next.

Sherry is small and cuddly, and Miria is always quiet whenever I’m soaping her up. In contrast to her, Vesta always seems to be overflowing with cuteness whenever I am washing her.

They are all wonderful, each in their own right.

However, from today onwards, I am going to have one more person that needs taking care of.

「Umu. Next is Rutina.」

「Y-Yes.」

Once more, she can’t help it but to squirm in embarrassment.

Is she inviting me? I am going to interpret that as her inviting me indeed.
Oh yes, if you’re offering, then I will enjoy partaking of you, thank you very much.

Well, time to dig in, and dug in I did, even though I’ve eaten a feast not that long ago.

However, why should I care about holding myself back in front of someone with such a beautiful, glowing skin just because it’s late at night?

Does anyone have the courage to stop me from enjoying myself with this meal?

As I thought, nobody is here to stop me.

If I want to dance, then now is the time, and I definitely want to dance together with her.

* * *

「Good morning, Rutina.」

「Oh, g-good morning.」

The morning after I danced with all the girls, I woke up feeling refreshed. The sun was already shining outside, and we have probably woken up later than we usually do, but that is not a problem. What matters the most is that we all managed to get a good night’s rest.

Right now, my head is gradually getting more and more clear as Roxanne, Sherry, Vesta and then Rutina start gracing my lips with their good morning kisses.

Umu. I have nothing to criticize with this method of waking up.

Rutina’s kisses are a little awkward, but that is fine.
