The kitchen inside the Skyscraper’s first floor was large enough to be considered a house. With how large it was, it would take time just to move from one place to another, possibly increasing the delay before the food gets served.
Thankfully, I wasn’t alone.
With the 20 girls helping me prepare the food, dinner was served faster than expected. Everyone gathered around the table, enjoying the meal one morsel at a time… while Ember and the rest were literally gulping the food down with grace and poise.
I know that it’s counterintuitive and conflicting, considering gluttony and grace, but that’s just how it happened. Even I, who was accustomed to their large appetite, was starting to doubt my eyes, seeing the food vanish in a flash.
Soon enough, the table full of food was cleared. I slowly stood up, gathering the dishes and planning to clean up after everyone, but Ember quickly waved her hand, stopping me.
“Master, we’ll take care of the cleanup. You should go and rest in your room first.”
“… Okay.”
And just like that, the girls took charge of cleaning up the utensils.
Relieved of my job, I did as told and headed to the tenth floor. Leaving the elevator, I walked toward the bedroom that I could recall from earlier today and entered.
“…”
Ooookay… There’s nobody here. What? No, i-it’s not like I was expecting something—definitely not!
Anyway, I was tired anyway, so I just laid down on the bed and faced the ceiling. The deep silence in the room was making my ears ring, which in turn caused me to be unable to sleep. I twisted and turned on the bed, wondering how I should fall asleep in my current situation.
*KACHA!*
About an hour or so later, the sound of the doorknob getting twisted echoed.
“…?”
They didn’t even bother to knock. Is it some assassin that managed to slip in?! Wait, this is Ember’s God Kingdom, so such a thing should be impossible… I sharpened my senses, trying to figure out who it was beyond the door before it opened.
‘Ember?’
To think it was her of all people… Wait, she’s not alone. There’s also Igni, Fang, Fatima… Everyone?! Not only the girls, but even the succubus tamers tagged along. These girls, what are they planning to do?
The first thing I decided to do was pretend as if I were asleep. Using my mastery of energy control, I slowed down my metabolism, my heartbeat, my breathing, everything. Right now, I should look like I’m sleeping, no matter who sees me!
Several footsteps echoed lightly as they approached, as if trying hard not to wake me up.
“Look, Leader’s asleep! Let’s proceed as planned!”
“Pardon me, Ly Lord…”
“I wonder if he’ll get angry or happy after this.”
Three voices echoed with a hint of mischievousness in them.
After that, everyone carefully surrounded my bed, lifting it up, before walking onward and carrying me, bed and all, into an open portal. The familiar hum echoed in my ears as I passed through, but I maintained my acting just in case.
“Slowly, slowly~! Don’t wake him up!”
Carefully, Minerva used her psychic powers to lift my body from the bed and into another bed. It was a lot firmer than the one I was “sleeping on” just now. Although I couldn’t see, I could tell that she placed me in the dead center of a large bed.
“There, now…”
“Right, to decide who gets which spot, let’s do this!”
The atmosphere suddenly turned strained, with a competitive hint to it. Silence spread for a few seconds before a chorus of whispered words entered my ears.
“””Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!”””
“…”
Are they playing rock, paper scissors again? With the sound of their voices, it seemed like everyone was participating in it. After a few throws, the first winner emerged: Fang.
With her fast kinetic vision, I guess it’ll be easy for her to win such games.
“Yes! I won! Then, I’ll take… Leader’s right thigh!”
As she declared, I could feel movements on top of the bed, as if someone were crawling closer to me. Soon enough, a head landed on top of my right thigh. I couldn’t confirm visually who it was, but the presence was definitely Fang’s. She really did take the position on top of my thigh!
The game resumed as one winner after another got to choose their spots. The second winner was Ember, who took the position on my right chest. Igni went to my left chest, but since she had a horn, she had to place her head near my armpit instead.
Fatima took the position on top of my head, using her thigh as an alternative for my pillow. Fina went to my left thigh, seemingly happy with her choice. Minerva and Hekate took the spot between my shins, with the two lying sideways facing each other.
Ah, Minerva’s wings were covering my leg like a warm blanket, and her feathers were soft beyond expectations!
Finally, there were Judy and Yorm, who took the position behind Fina, trying to stay as close to her as possible.
With that, I thought it was over… but the game continued.
One after another, the succubus tamers won the battle and found empty spots on the bed, as if trying to complete some sort of puzzle. In the end, all twenty of them also joined in!
Just how big was this bed to be able to fit 30 people in one go?! .
Anyway, the body heat of everyone around me was providing me with a peaceful warmth. My body relaxed as my head slowly drifted into the world of dreams…
“…!”
But suddenly, someone’s hand moved on top of my stomach, caressing it while slowly creeping up higher. The hand moved seductively, going round and round on top of my clothes.
Then, as if finding it not enough, the hand tried to slip under my shirt…!
A warm hand touched my navel, going up to my belly button, and it stopped there for a while, playing with it. I was using all my concentration to prevent my body from reacting to the stimuli, but I was reaching my limit. If this continues, then I’ll “wake up!”
“Hey, Ember! Remember, no touching!”
At that moment, Fang’s voice echoed before a light pat was heard. So the hand belonged to Ember? Although it was a little disappointing to be left hanging, I guess I should thank Fang for stopping Ember.
That night was the longest, quietest, and most fulfilling night I’d ever had… Although, in the end, I didn’t get a wink of sleep.
