My Servant System - #432 - 432 Chapter 431: Making Decisions (1)



I blinked a few times as I listened to the tale that Jahi and the others regaled me with, telling me of monsters and fiends and creatures that used magics far beyond their understanding…

“Here I was thinking I would have the crazier story to tell, and then I hear all of this?”

Jahi just chuckled, nodding as she leaned against the headboard and looked towards the ceiling.

“It certainly was a rather action packed few days we had… twists and turns galore constantly keeping us on our toes. But, we made it out alive and well, so… It wasn’t that bad.”

“Well, you said that the Marquess told you about the Fiends and everything? Specifically how your Light Magic is really effective against them? Seems like you can no longer ignore your magic training, Mistress.”

She just rolled her eyes at me, flicking my brow as she said “I had never ignored it… I just didn’t place enough attention on it is all.”

That made me roll my eyes as I replied “You mean one hour of magical training for every six hours of physical training?”

“What is with this sudden shift to talking back, puppy? Do I need to remind you what these lips are meant for, hmm~?”

Jahi took ahold of my jaw and stared down at me, an arrogant smirk on her face as I pouted.

“I would say we need to retrain her thoroughly after being separated from us for so long… maybe she forgot the ‘tricks’ that we taught her~!”

Anput joined in on the teasing, and I glared at my mate before moaning as she continued to caress me, all while Leone innocently lifted my arm and bit into my wrist, making me wince.

The Vampire wordlessly stared at me as she drank some more of my blood, her crimson eyes free of any guilt or shame as she greedily fed herself.

Jahi and Anput chuckled at that, before Jahi looked down towards my new tattoo and frowned.

“Wait… Kat, you are on medicines, correct? Now is certainly NOT the time for… you know…”

I nodded, a small smile on my lips as my hand joined Anput’s, who stopped as she too looked towards my face.

“Yes. The Countess restocked our supply for whenever we returned, and I took them. No need to worry Mistress~! Though…”

Shifting around – after having my arm freed from Leone – I gave Jahi a seductive grin as I stroked her chiseled abs, enjoying the firm muscle under my fingers.

“Would you have preferred to leave it to fate~? The thrill of dancing on that edge of breeding me or me remaining without child~?”

The Demoness shuddered as her eyes flickered gold, filled with passionate heat as she ‘rose to attention’ once more, only to take a deep breath as she shook her head.

“No. Not now, Kat… When this is all over, we can leave those medicines behind and play that game, but not now.”

I chuckled wryly at that, my wish already fulfilled as I began to stroke her member, getting her into the mood again.

“I think… you were saying something about retraining me~? I might~ have forgotten a few things, Mistress…”

Amusement danced in her eyes as she watched me carefully, a grin tugging at her lips as I beheld her magnificent member.

That lead to another hour or so of passion, the four of us draining the rest of our lust out of our system before migrating to the bath, where we cleaned up and prepared ourselves for another meal.

We had much to discuss about the future, and they hadn’t eaten yet, so I would be returning to making us dinner like I had always done before.

And with access to such a large, well stocked kitchen filled with luxurious ingredients, of course I was going to make the most of this opportunity.

The plan was simple.

A three course meal consisting of an alfredo chicken dish, medium steaks braised in a wine sauce, and finally a thin vegetable stew to round it all out.

I knew all three of the girls had appetites that were rather voracious – even Leone ate a tad more than a normal person, and with the time between my meals for them being so wide, and so much happening between them, I could only imagine how much larger their appetites were.

So, as I walked with them to the kitchen, we started to discuss the things we needed to do going forwards.

Strength was paramount, that much was obvious, but there were many ways to go about getting stronger.

“Then what shall we do? I believe a mix of theoretical and practical experience could be very lucrative for us all. Each of us has things we need to… figure out before attempting in real combat, which would lead to more things to figure out?”

The others nodded as I spoke, my hands busy as I prepared the pans for the steaks, since they would take the most time.

“The Academy certainly is a treasure trove waiting to be plundered, but we only have a year and a half minimum, two years max. There is only so much we can learn with our qualifications and understandings…”

“Well, that is true Jahi, but the libraries are laden with books containing many different things that will certainly be very helpful. Besides, there are theories on Enchanting, Alchemy, and Forging that could push our equipment over the edge, giving us something to rely on besides our personal prowess.”

Anput perked up at that, before resting her chin on her hand as she sniffed the air, more focused on the food than the conversation… though she still participated.

“Well, we need lots of coin, and while we could certainly utilize the Marquess’ wallet, I imagine we can’t always have access to her accounts. Forging and Alchemy are expensive hobbies, especially if we plan on reaching more complex and potent crafts. For instance, armor is a pain in the ass to forge, but that is the primary thing I need to learn to contribute to all of us. I mean, Jahi has a masterfully crafted blade, and you and Kat rely mainly on mana to fight… As for me, my normal shifting of a blade in the midst of battle is enough to confuse most, but… yeah.”

Rolling out the dough for the pasta, I nodded before adding “Our ventures deeper into the Zhu’Rong Caverns would be lucrative, especially with quests. That includes materials too… though we would need to research what we can get from those ventures. Oh, and look into the markets from other cities and dungeons. Which… we could venture out to find new things as well.”

Everyone nodded, and we continued the conversation on in earnest as I began to season the chickens and simmer the sauce, filling the kitchen with the scent of cooking food.
