After

There were no sudden fat bellies from the orgy last night. But every single goblin was definitely looking better. Truffle and Vera were bad girls, the both of them giving me such pleasure with their tongues that I actually saw how much seed I shot out for once. It was ridiculous. Was I being corrupted into something other than a human?

Strangely, aside from that, not a single one of my wives wanted a morning romp. Instead they were all hungry. I was hungry too. Looking around, I didn't see Stella anywhere. I don't think she could have run away, because her ankles were tied together. A quick exploration found her in the room I had let her use. She was hiding under the big rag, and I decided to let her be for now.

I gave Prima a kiss on the cheek and a rub on the tummy, since she was going out to hunt for our breakfast.

She was a dutiful wife.

Lily and Jewel had come only to find out what they had missed. Lily was hesitant to take my seed-stick just yet, for obvious reasons, and Jewel… At least she was interested in a romp. The rest of the girls all enjoyed sharing the bath, with Jewel and I joining them after I made a sticky mess between her legs.

Doll had arrived late, only entering the bath because all of us were already in it, and, as goblins were social creatures, all of the girls pushed her over to me. While I don't believe in busting in the bath, that was what the adjacent shower room was for. I had her pushed up against a wall inside of it and took her from behind until she too was once again happily filled with my seed.

I suppose it was pointless because we both went back into the water and immediately contaminated it anyway.

Thankfully, the magic heating formulas can make the water hot enough to boil if enough mana is poured into it. I'd do it later and somehow scrape out any scum that floated to the top afterward. I asked Lily if she had a long leaf that might do the job, and she said she'd find one for me.

I think the girls are beginning to enjoy taking baths now.

Diana had even made her way to the breeding room. She was a bit hesitant to step in the bath, but perfectly fine with sitting on the edge and dipping her feet inside. I've got no problem with taking small steps. Maybe I can tune the water temperature down so she's more willing to enter it in the future.

Diana was also sprouting really well. She was a little over half the height of Lily now, and looks to be around three years old if being compared to a human child. The only thing throwing me off was that she still refused to call me daddy. I was firmly entrenched as Husband in her mind. Well, she's precocious, so I'll roll with it for now. But I really want my eldest daughter to call me daddy, if only once.

Prima had come back, calling every goblin present lazy. Her body was looking a lot more robust today. There was fire-meat for Lily, me, and Stella. She had then laid out something huge that the aforementioned pieces of fire-meat had come from, laid out on top of the table, to which all the other goblins, my precious daughter included, went at with ruthless carnivorous abandon. It was like one of those cartoon segments where a school of piranha turns a person into a skeleton in three seconds flat.

It also fully defeated the point of the bath we just stepped out of.

Should I say it was cute? It's one thing, I think, to see my goblin daughter with a messy mouth after eating a plate of spaghetti or a hamburger with extra ketchup from a fast food chain. It's another to know she was eating bloody raw spare ribs and immensely enjoying it. But if she eats well, she grows well, and I know that is what Berry wants the most for her. I'm happy just so long as she continues developing a bit of kindness towards her sisters.

I want a happy family. It was something I wasn't remotely able to achieve in my previous life. If it means it's a family of goblins in the stars for me, I'll accept it as long as there is happiness to be found here.

Orchid and Lilac would be able to walk the cave on their own soon according to Lily. I occasionally go fetch them and bring them here when Lily goes to do her small game hunting. She's pretty good at catching rabbits, and that is their main diet. Cooked rabbits, that is.

Lily and Vera had an eternal placement next to me at the table for whatever reason. None of the others really argued it. I think it was to segregate us who both preferred and could eat fire meat, even though Vera was an offending member of the bloody meat party today. She was downing some part of this beast's shoulder and rubbing her protruding belly with blood-stained fingers and a gluttonous grin.

Vera would say insightful things when she did that. Almost like her child was speaking to her from inside her womb. She was also certain it was only one strong one she was carrying, and had declared in very few words that it already knew magic. Well, "Mana" rather than magic. But that's good. It's the start of a mage caste of goblins, right?

Diana was definitely hunter material, Vera would likely be teaching our eventual daughter some magic, while I wasn't quite sure about Orchid and Lilac yet. I got the feeling though, that they would somehow end up as Diana's underlings. Diana often visited them and was doing what I asked her to do. Showing them how to be strong goblins. I have to love her even more for that.

I had thought about asking for some special permission to make something outside in the sun for them. A playground of sorts, consisting of a slide and a swingset, maybe some monkey bars… something for them to enjoy while they are still kids. I might only be able to use it with them every few days, but I would. I remember my mother pushing me on the swingset at the local park in my previous life. My mother in this one… was always immersed in a book. To her, magic was everything.
