Testing My Luck in the New World

Volume 2 - Chapter 29

Then, as if she noticed that I noticed this, she covered her chest with her arms and huffed. I politely looked away.

We waited patiently for the maids to line up in the middle of the room, Erika included. Elane then carefully set June's feet on the floor, made sure she could stand on her own, and moved behind the lineup. In no particular order other than Erika the Headmaid standing at attention on the far left, they bowed to me in unison. Though the lazier one of them was forced to do so by Erika.

""Welcome home, Master.""

They chanted their greeting in unison as well and, for better or worse, I had to admit they looked well trained as they each dipped into a curtsy. Seeing them now, I fully believed Elane when she told me she bought them all simply because they were cute.

Elane clapped her hands with a grin and said, "Good. I already explained everything to these four, so let's just skip the questions and move straight into the introductions! You first, Headmaid."

"Eep!"

Pushed forward, or rather, forced to move by the hand that lightly slapped her ass, was Erika. Pouting, she reached back to rub her backside, but immediately thought better of it. Instead, she clasped her hands together in front of her apron and began.

"I-I... As you already know, my name is Erika. I'm a dog-kin of the Greater Vierre Forest. In this household, my duties are to organize the other maids, tend the garden and cook... A-And my three sizes are 84-53-85."

Momentarily bewildered, I suddenly couldn't do anything more than acknowledge the fact that Erika was only slightly smaller in each area than Yua. But I quickly shook my head before the next girl could speak.

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Elane, did you tell them to share their sizes with me?"

"Yup! I figured you, as a man, would want to know. I did, anyways."

Elane grinned and proudly gave me a thumbs up, but now that I know why the maids were acting so cautious of me. I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Girls, forget whatever Elane told you. You don't need to share any personal details about your body with me. Erika, sorry she put you on the spot."

"I-It's okay, Master."

"And you don't need to call me Master, okay? That goes for all of you."

"Understood, Master."

Erika dipped into another bow and, sighing, I was torn on how to proceed. I could just as easily demand she stop referring to me as Master, but wouldn't that make me a hypocrite? I was here to basically give them their humanity back. Using force didn't seem right. Which leaves letting her work it out of her system until she's used to being around me.

Then again, I suppose I did give Yua a few orders without ever revoking them. And the fact that Mana's wearing clothes is a result of another order, though that was more between us as mates, rather than master and slave.

Before I could come to a decision, however, the fiery-haired maid took a step forward. Her arms crossed and her cheeks flushed, she glared intently at me as though I were the only other being in the room. Midway between wondering if her Spear Warrior class had something to do with her defiant attitude, I noticed her Casanova level said she held a deep dislike for me. So I prepared myself for the worst.

"My name's Mary. No family name. My duties are to sweep and wax the floors and tidy the many bedrooms of the mansion. And if you're going to devour us, Master, I ask that you thrust all your lewd desires onto me. Alone. Just keep your paws off the others. Please."
