Chapter 12: Aki Best Girl

We arrived at the Inn's first floor. It's still early in the morning but the chairs and tables are already occupied. The place is already crowded.

"Master. I don't like the way they look at me." Masa frowned, hiding behind me.

"I dislike the way they look at you too, Masa, however, we must get used to this because we're going to stay in this World from now on."

If Masa will decide to kill all the men staring at her with lecherous thoughts, it will conclude that the population of males in this kingdom will decline.

"You must expect this to happen, both of you." Kohaku halted her steps, then she looked at both Masa and Aki in a serious expression. "The three of us have beauties comparable to master. They can only stare, but not touch. We belong to master alone." Then, she gazed at me with a charming smile.

"Yes, big sister!" Aki agreed with a cheerful smile and hugged Kohaku.

"You are right, sister. I belong to master Alone." Masa showed a rare wonderful smile before going to act at her usual demeanor.

"Wait... How... What?"

Here we go. Elisabeth muttered at the counter and suddenly smacked the table and eyed in our direction. Her eyes widened in a shocked expression.

Thankfully, it's noisy that only people who have keen senses can hear her properly.

I smiled at her then walked in her direction. The stares already fell upon us because we have to walk to the center to reach the counter.

"If I need to pay for them so that they can stay... Here take this." I took one platinum coin and gave it to her.

"But... How did they come here without me noticing?" She whispered that only I can hear.

I didn't answer her, I waited for her to guess it herself with a smile on my face.

"Wait don't tell me..." She muttered and looked at the three of them.

"They can transform into humans?"

I nodded my head.

"Yes. They can transform into humans. It just happened today though."

Then, I glanced at the three of them and boobed my head once, gesturing them to introduce themselves.

Kohaku introduced herself first, then followed by Masa and Lastly Aki. They didn't forget to curtsy elegantly before introducing themselves.

Facing heavenly beauties, Lisbeth felt pressure and waved her hands to stop the formality.

"It's fine, master seems to like you so we consider you as a friend," Kohaku said, a smile formed on her lips.

I shook my head with a chuckle. Sure I like Lisbeth but you don't have to tell her in front of me. I also get shy you know?

I like Lisbeth but I didn't intend to let her become my girlfriend. At least for now and we just met like what? Two days ago or something.

The three of them continue to talk with Lisbeth while a middle-aged man walked towards us. Judging by his facial features, he seems like a relative to Lisbeth.

"I forgot to introduce myself, but I'm Richard." Richard extended his hand for a handshake. I accepted.

"My name is Alex," I answered with a casual smile.

"Indeed, a man like you deserves beauties with such quality." Richard glanced at the three of my companions. Using my Divine sense, this guy didn't have any thoughts whatsoever except only admiration.

"Even the most beautiful women in the Kingdom, the Queen and Princesses can't compare to them. However, I want to remind you of something and this is about the hero."

Raising an eyebrow, what he said took my attention so I attentively waited for him to continue. Honestly, I didn't expect this kingdom to have heroes. Is there also a Demon King?

"I heard rumors about how prideful and arrogant the hero is. It's unlucky that such a young lad was chosen as a hero because of his personality. As a hero of the kingdom, they need to nurture him or even spoil him, giving mostly everything he demands. And looking at your lovers, the hero might ask the king about them if he sees them. Or worst, forcefully do it against your will."

Hearing what he said, I chuckled, making Richard tilt his head with an amused expression. I cleared my throat and spoke to him. "I truly thank you for your warning. What I know is heroes are powerful and have a position that even Nobles feel envious of. However, all I can say is, if he does something to them that will make them uncomfortable, then... Better leave the kingdom with Lisbeth and your loved ones."

I turned my back with a smile on my face. I then called Kohaku, Masa, and Aki because we need to visit the Castle with Elissa. I bid farewell to Lisbeth and Richard then left the Inn.

"I thought you will cancel our appointment, I am about to tell the--"

Minutes later, we arrive at the guild. Elissa then spoke but her voice halted the moment she noticed I'm with human companions.

"Who are they, Alex?"

Before I responded, I communicate with the three of them, I may be their master but I have to ask permission in what response should I say to Elissa. Watching them nodding their heads, I answered.

"They are my lovers. Is it alright to bring them? I don't want to leave them behind. "

Looking at Elissa's reaction, I definitely admit that she's a smart woman. She recognized them right away but respectfully believing what I said so that no more questions will be inquired. I honestly appreciate her character.

"Okay... and yes, there is no problem with you about your lovers coming with us." She smiled. "There is a carriage waiting at the back of the guild building, we will use it as transportation towards the castle."

Nodding my head, she turned her back and led us.

"This is one of the best royal carriage back at the castle. The King wanted you to be comfortable whilst riding it."

Elissa is proudly presented by opening her arms while the carriage is behind her. The carriage is surprisingly big but mine is more bigger and luxurious.

"It's nice." I nonchalantly praised. Earning a questioning "ehhhhh" from Elissa.

"Ahem, now then, off we go, we are already late." She gestured for us to enter the carriage.

No matter how big the carriage is, Kohaku and Masa sandwiched me from both sides while Aki took the initiative to sit on my lap and at the same time grabbed my hand and placed it on her head for me to stroke her hair. I helplessly smiled and satisfied my little princess while both the beauties at my side giggled.
