"Anyway, today was a really useful day."
"Very! But did you see that grandpa's eyes? Even though he has seen us every day, he still doesn't believe it."
"Isn't it because of you, who succeeded in manifesting your powers in just two weeks, which usually takes a normal person at least two years?"
"That's why I can't handle all types of magic~ huuh?"
Jihye's smirk made me smile.
Every day this past month has been filled with learning magic.
The amount of mana I can use noticeably increases each time I meditate.
I felt confident that I was getting stronger as I learned different magics every day.
In addition, I have an exclusive maid who relieves various stresses and my ravenous sexual desires every night.
Those were some really satisfying days.
Even after the first night, Ireina still only reluctantly obeys my orders.
She doesn't yet have the heart to give in and commit herself to me.
But honestly, it doesn't matter much.
The master-servant relationship with me has already been notarized and documented, and thanks to the seal of a slave engraved on her belly, Ireina cannot refuse my orders.
Watching her slowly change would be one of the great pleasures of my time in this other world.
If there is one thing I find troubling, it is Ireina's sex skills.
As we entangle in each other's bodies every day, her skills have improved since the beginning, but the speed at which my skills and stamina have grown faster than that.
Her enthusiasm during sex is getting better, but her climax frequency and the time it takes until she passes out are getting shorter and shorter.
What measures will need to be put in place for my continued satisfactory nightlife?
Either somehow awaken Ireina.
Or get a new girl.
I glanced at Jihye walking beside me.
"Hm?"
"How is your exclusive maid? Is she useful?"
"Hehe. My Anna-chan is good at cooking! She's good at cleaning, she's good at doing the laundry, and she's really diligent! We have really fun conversations, and she's good at singing and dancing—"
"Hm, what's this about singing and dancing?"
Shall I try it out too?
In terms of being able to please your master, couldn't we say that singing and dancing are one of the basics for a slave?
I can imagine Ireina shaking her ass with a lewd expression on her debauched face.
Unlike some men, including myself, who demand night service from their maids, almost all women treat their maids like housekeepers or 'friends who will never betray them'.
At first, there were quite a few of my classmates who refused the exclusive slaves.
It's only been a little less than three months since we came to this world, so the values and ideologies of most of my classmates were still too ingrained and it was not yet enough time to abandon their earthly morals.
This is natural and expected even.
But they have to adapt eventually.
I adapted a while back.
"How's your maid?! Did you say she was called Ireina? Thanks to her, every night must be fun, right?"
Jihye asked me this in a lower-than-usual and sly voice, crossing her arms over mine.
I looked into her eyes.
The expected expression of jealousy in her pupils—
Doesn't exist.
It was a question posed as if it was natural for me to have sex with my maid.
I expected this reaction.
"Haha, I do her every day, but she's a bit shabby."
Jihye doesn't dwell on the matter of me having relationships with other women.
Because in the world she envisions, there is only her and I.
To Jihye, other people are not very important.
Her world revolves solely around her relationship with me.
I made her like this.
"There's no way Ireina will be my opponent. She must work hard every day..."
I untied our entangled arms and wrapped my right arm around Jihye's thin waist.
She clung to me even more.
Anyone would think that we are sweet lovers.
However, it is a very natural behaviour for Ji-hye and me.
I made her like this.
When I was in middle school, I opened my eyes to the world of sex and the genders' different secondary sexual characteristics.
My lively, popular, and pretty childhood friend, whom I have been around since childhood—
I gaslighted her.
Through the methods that have been employed in the background for several years until recently, Ji-hye was gradually being transformed into a sunflower that only looks at me.
Even if I drag Ji-hye into my room without telling her anything, she won't resist.
If I push her onto my bed, my Jihye will spread her legs so I can fuck her.
As she whispers sobbing moans into my ear, it will surely be a thrilling experience.
As the relationship with Ireina was gradually becoming insufficient, I wondered if I should gradually rope in Jihye.
Since she has epic attributes, her body which is optimized by the attribute will surely feel much better than Ireina's.
But not yet.
Jeon Ji-hye, the best work of my life, has not yet been completed.
It seems that collapse and restoration will be required one more time.
I recalled how she talked so gleefully about her own maid.
'Her name must have been something like… Anna...?'
It seems she will make for some good material for my plans.

"Finally, the academy banquet will be held at the imperial palace next week!"
At the place where the executives were gathered, Amer's maid handed out invitations to the banquet.
Our class has been living in the Star Palace for over a month, and so we had many encounters with Amer.
I had frequent opportunities to talk to her because we took classes together.
Since we are classmates who will enter the academy together in a few months anyway, our class and Amer agreed to maintain an informal communication channel between us.
"Academy Banquet? What is that?"
"Hmm... It's a place where academy freshmen and current students like us, as well as recently graduated aristocrats, gather and interact. Only those who live in the ecliptic attend, but it's not compulsory, and so it's not a big banquet."
It is a banquet attended by young nobles and prospective nobles.
"Oh! I will definitely attend!!" Choi Ji-hoon shouted.
"Hmm, okay. I'll hold a class meeting tomorrow and let the others know."
Minho personally put the invitations in the bag he received from his exclusive maid.
The maid by his side became restless as she watched Minho do her chores for her.
Amer rolled her tongue in her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something more.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Uh, I don't want you to worry about it for nothing... I heard that older brother Polcus is attending this banquet... Ah, he is the first prince."
Min Hye-rin quickly did a scan of the room and then asked in a hushed voice—
"...Is he the foolish prince who indulges in women all day?"
"That's right···."
The first prince is attending.
All of us frowned.
"Haa, we will take note. Are there any other members of the royal family attending or people we need to be careful of?"
"Ah, this time, older sister Soniel, the 2nd princess, and older brother Dave, the 2nd prince, are also attending. The two of them are nice and you will be fine around them!"
I called out for joy inwardly at those words.
The 2nd Princess, Soniel di Kairos.
She has the best [Star cluster] [T/N: Might change to Star constellation or something.] attribute in the empire.
When I was completely confused about my attributes and powers, the professor who taught me magic told me about her.
Her special eyes might be able to dig up something about the [Heaven] Attribute which I am clueless about.
I very much look forward to meeting Her Highness Soniel at the banquet.
