Novel Full Chapter 639: Emilia Joins The Training
“So… This is Crystal and her family…” I introduced, gesturing to the group of ninja wannabes all dressed in either maid or butler uniforms.
But truthfully, I was more focused on Emilia since she had put on the maid uniform as well.
Ahhhhh!! It’s a maid Emilia!! She’s soooooo cute!! I wanna pat and cuddle her!!
Ahem…
“You… Took in a lot of people I see…” Emilia pointed out offhandedly.
I shrugged, “I did promise her that I would take care of her family and protect them from retaliation.”
“And your mother… Sorry. The Madam accepted this?”
“Seems like they would serve me directly as my Shadow Corps or whatever it’s called.”
Emilia turned to scowl at Katsuki, “Why aren’t I given this position instead? They don’t need to learn how to serve, do they?”
My Inugami maid gave her a look, “They do.”
“Kuh… I feel like you are intentionally targeting me right now…”
“I am.”
“You little…”
I shifted away from the two girls and I saw Crystal looking at me worriedly.
“Will this be fine, Mistress?” She asked, looking at the Nekomata and Inugami butting heads again.
“Yeah… I think… They don’t actually hate each other at least.”
Crystal shook her head, “I meant whether her family would come and find us… They seemed quite determined to get rid of her when they hired us.”
Emilia turned to her, “Hmph! I’d like to see them try when they don’t have their precious little money mule anymore. In fact, it has turned into their greatest disaster.”
I tilted my head at her, “What do you mean?”
“The ship. The one that brings in the most business for the family is now pretty much dead in the water and most definitely not seaworthy. The passengers who lost their stuff on board are going to demand compensation from them and even the Democratic Republic of Modgnik is going to ask them for reparations for causing such chaos outside their only port city.
They’re going to be fully occupied with that for a long while I would say.”
“Umm… Then you don’t hold a grudge against us, right?” Crystal asked, looking at Emilia with worry.
Emilia waved her hand at them, “Of course not. You guys are just as much of a victim as I am. Actually… No, I’m the bigger victim. But you did bring this to my attention so there’s that I suppose.”
I pouted at Emilia, “Come on, Emilia. Don’t scare the poor girl. We’re all on the same side now, aren’t we?”
She scoffed, “Make no mistake, Aster. You are my employer right now and I am your employee. I am not on anyone’s side but my own. As long as I’m being paid, I will follow you but that is the extent of our relationship.”
Lisa leaned over and whispered, “She’s just being shy, no need to worry.”
The Nekomata scowled at my Infrid who was pretending to be busy with her nails.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Emilia then turned back to Katsuki.
“Let’s not waste any time since time is money. Why did you bring me here? Surely it’s not just to show me that you got the thief’s family under your wing, right?”
Katsuki gave her a side eye, “You will be training with them, of course. Both you and the former thieves barely know the basics of being a proper servant of Mistress. Thus, it would be easier to train all of you together. Lucky for you, I was given the role of training all of you myself.”
That’s the first I heard of that.
I started clapping, “Woooh~ That means you got promoted, Katsuki! Congratulations!”
“It’s… Not like that, Mistress. I merely know your preferences the best and thus would be the best person to teach them how to serve you.”
I still think it’s great that she went from a trainee maid to a trainer though! And if Mary or Mother had not deemed her proficient enough, Katsuki would surely have not been allowed to train them.
Sniff~ My little Katsuki is all grown up!
Emilia rolled her eyes, “Fine… I’ll just see this as training for the job. What do you need me to do?”
Katsuki suddenly looked serious, “We only have one day before we return to the training camp. In this one day, I will make sure to drill into all of you the very basics of service and you will memorise everything I teach and I will not allow you all to rest until your standards are satisfactory. Understood?”
The ninja wannabes immediately straightened themselves and shouted as one, “Yes, Instructor Katsuki!!”
Oh wow. I bet that was something that Dehyia and Vehyia taught them to respond to.
Welp… Since Katsuki and Emilia will be busy with that… That gave me the rest of the day open.
I don’t really fancy going out after what happened yesterday so I guess I’ll just laze around indoors today. I feel like it has been a while since I literally just laid back and relaxed.
As though reading my mind, Lisa leaned over and whispered in a conspiratory voice, “Aster~ Wanna fuck?”
…
“Let’s… Leave that for later, ok? Maybe we can go find Delmare and Odeta first?”
“Oooh~ Good idea~ I don’t mind Delmare joining us for another threesome~ Let’s go!”
That’s not what I had in mind but whatever…
First thing’s first… Where are they?
I turned back with the intention of asking Katsuki where the two girls might be, only to see that Katsuki and everyone else had already disappeared.
What the heck? They were just there a few moments ago… How did all of them leave without even making a sound?
Or was I just too distracted that I didn’t even notice they left?
I turned back to Lisa who was looking at me with anticipation, “Do you know where they are?”
She rapped her chin, “Hmm… I believe Odeta should be in training again somewhere and Delmare… I guess she might be in your room?”
“In my room? What’s she doing in there? Could she have been looking for me?”
“Ehehehe~ Well… I guess she thought that she wouldn’t be able to see you today so she went to the place where it reminded her of you I suppose?”
I… Don’t even know what that means but let’s just go and see if she’s really there.
We went back to my room again with Lisa wrapping her arm around mine which made it a little hard to walk but I endured it since she was enjoying herself.
When I reached my room, I could hear the soft sounds of a song coming from within which told me that Delmare was definitely inside the room.
I raised my hand to knock but Lisa moved forward and opened the door before I could.
Oh yeah… This is my room, would be a little dumb to ask permission to enter my own room.
I stepped inside and found Delmare seated on my bed and hugging one of my pillows while singing a tune, not even noticing that we had entered the room.
The song she was singing seemed to be about flying through the night sky together with a loved one so both Lisa and I settled ourselves at the edge of the room to listen in discreetly.
She wasn’t using her Siren magic to sing so we didn’t need to worry about being affected by her song and just enjoyed the melody silently.
The song continued for a while more before it ended on a high note, my Siren letting the last note of the song drift away with a wistful expression on her face before looking down at my pillow.
I couldn’t help it and started clapping my hands, surprising my Siren who threw my pillow up into the air when she heard the sound.
“Wah?! As… Aster? How long have you been there?!”
“Hmm? Not that long really. I just came in like maybe five minutes ago~ You should have told me that you were planning to sing! I would have come to listen to you immediately!”
She poked her hands together bashfully, “Umm… I thought that you would be busy with Emilia and I didn’t want to bother you… So I thought it would be fine if I just… Ummm… Sang to myself here.”
“Hmm? I’m surprised you didn’t ask Odeta to be your audience.”
She giggled, “Well, she did stay for a song but then told me that she wanted to go and train herself so she went to find Dehyia and Vehyia to ask them for a sparring session.”
Oh right, she wanted to spar with them ever since we first came here. I guess since we were leaving tomorrow, this would be the last chance she could do it and didn’t want to miss the chance.
Delmare then smiled at me, “So is there something you need me for, Aster?”
Lisa spoke up before I could, “Yeah! We’re here for another threesome! Let’s get naked, Delmare!”
…
No, Lisa, bad Lisa.
Delmare gave me a look asking if I was really here for that and I waved my hand, “No, no… I really just want to relax right now… So I’m good with just laying down and doing nothing for the rest of the day. Do you want to join me?”
Delmare giggled, “Of course, Aster. I would be happy to. In the meantime, would you like to listen to another song of mine? Although… Umm… We might need to tie Lisa up first since I want to sing seriously…”
My Infrid voluntarily handed me a rope even before Delmare finished talking.
…
Alright then…
