Chapter 637: We Should Skip Town Soon
Emilia winced but didn't try to push her away, "Yes, yes… Seems like I'll be staying a while for now…"
"A while? What are you talking about? You're not planning on leaving, are you?"
"I've accepted a loan from Aster and will be working on paying it off while I also build up my own wealth to be independent in the future."
Huh… I thought that she would just be remaining as my retainer permanently so this was a surprise.
Ah well… I suppose after seeing how even her own family betrayed her, she would rather be beholden to no one if she could help it.
Understandable I suppose.
Lisa rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah. You can say whatever excuse you want to make you feel better. Anyway, seems like you'll be one of us now! Wanna fuck?"
…
Lisa… I'm pretty sure sex is the last thing on her mind right now…
"For one hundred Creas, alright."
…
Lisa pouted, "Oh please, if anything you should be the one paying us for the chance to get fucked."
Emilia gave her a look, "I am not that cheap."
"Sure, sure. But do you really want to claim that you are worth more than Aster right now?"
Emilia pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lisa smirked, "Mmhmm, that's what I thought. So, wanna do it? I think we'll even be generous and give you a one hundred percent discount for the first fuck!"
"I'll pass," The Nekomata answered without even blinking. "Speaking of which, may I know when we would be leaving this city?"
I tilted my head at her, "Why? Are you expecting your family to come look for you here?"
She shook her head, "No. I have written in my letters that I was leaving my family and I know about their betrayal, but I never mentioned who I was going to or who was helping me run away so that's the extent of my family's knowledge of my plans. It's better that way, since they don't even know if I'm actually dead or alive at the moment."
"Hmm… Well, I don't know when we're leaving yet, but do you even know where we would be heading to after this?"
She shrugged, "Anywhere is better than here. If I were to show my face here, they would know immediately that I'm still alive and also who is sheltering me. I would prefer that they remain in the dark about it for as long as possible and the best way to do that is to get out of here."
Lisa giggled, "Oh, then you don't need to worry! All you need to do is put on this maid uniform and you'll be fine!"
My Infrid even did a twirl to show off the uniform she was wearing.
Very cute.
Emilia gave Lisa a look that could not be any more doubtful, "I'm pretty sure that my looks are distinct enough that the people from my former family would recognise me even if I was wearing something like that."
"Oh no, no, no~ Do you actually think that this uniform is that simple? Don't you know what kind of people make up the Nilm Family servants?"
She raised an eyebrow at my Infird, "I'm guessing the best kind of servant that has been trained thoroughly?"
"Well, that too but that's not the point I was making. Each of these uniforms have been specially enchanted! It's a really, really cool enchantment too, you see! Anyone who we do not recognise as part of the family would only be able to see someone who wears this uniform as 'a servant of the Nilm Family'. Or at least, that's assuming they know the Nilm family in the first place of course.
Otherwise, they would see us as 'a servant of a noble family'. How cool is that?"
I knew it!
I knew there was some kind of enchantment on these uniforms! I just didn't know what exactly they were!
Ah… Then again, I suppose I never really did ask Mother about it, did I?
But at least I know now!
Emilia narrowed her eyes at Lisa, "But I can recognise you just fine though?"
"Pfft, that's because I've already regarded you as part of the family!"
"I'm not part of the Nilm Family, I'm just a subcontractor, ok?"
"Oh no, no~ The family I'm referring to is Aster's harem! You're already part of it whether you like it or not!"
Emilia was giving Lisa a blank stare and even I don't know how I should react to this.
I cleared my throat, "Ahem… Well… I think it would benefit you to at least change into that maid uniform I suppose? It'll be safer, don't you think?"
The Nekomata thought for a moment before sighing, "Fine… But only because this would make things easier for me. But I would still prefer to get out of this city as soon as possible, whether it be with you or alone. Now where do I get one?"
"Katsuki?" I called out.
The Inugami maid in question appeared beside me with her head bowed, "I am here, Mistress."
"Are there any spare uniforms that Emilia could change into?"
"Certainly, Mistress. Miss Emilia, if you would please follow me, your uniform is this way."
Emilia turned to me, "Is this fine?"
I waved at her, "Of course, of course~ Just go on and get yourself outfitted. In the meantime, I'll look for Mother and ask her when we would be leaving this city."
"Ah… This might be a bit late but where would we actually be going? You're not going to travel back to Lehcarouc Kingdom via land, are you?"
"Oh, no, we're actually participating in a training camp right now so we'll be going to the Frostiminir mountains most likely."
"A training camp? I never knew you guys had training camps."
"Honestly… Neither did I until recently…"
Emilia shrugged, "Whatever. As long as we get out of here and I get some space to start planning my new business."
Seeing that our conversation had concluded, Katsuki then spoke up without my prompting, "Mistress. If you are looking for the Madam, she is in the study right now."
"Oh, thank you Katsuki~ Head pats for you~"
Her tail wagged when I did that. So cute~
Emilia then followed Katsuki through the hallway and disappeared out of sight.
As for me…
Lisa started hugging me from behind, intentionally pushing her boobs against my back.
"Ehehe~ Good morning Mistress~ Would you like some morning service? Service that involves me down on my knees and in between your legs?"
I gave her a look, "Did you not have enough of it yesterday? I swear Delmare and you wrung everything out of me last night…"
"Ehehe… You know I can never have enough of you, Aster~ Just being close to you is enough to make me horny already~"
"You really are insatiable… Come on, I need to go find Mother. And also, it's not morning anymore."
Lisa pouted at me but did not protest and released me from her embrace. She still chose to follow me to look for Mother though and I was fine with that.
Delmare and Odeta should be taking the day off and are most likely resting somewhere in the manor right now.
I went towards the study where Mother was supposed to be and rapped my knuckles on the door.
"Ufufufu~ There's no need to knock. Just come in, my little one~" Mother's voice came from the other side.
I opened the door as she said and stepped inside, finding Mother seated at her desk and scribbling something on a piece of paper.
Mary was standing at her side and clutching what looked like several folders filled with papers in them.
As I entered, Mother handed over the pile of papers to Mary who then received them reverently before sliding them into one of the folders she was carrying.
"Shall I head over to the exhibition now, Madam?" The Trasif asked.
"Ufufufu~ Yes, you may~ Make sure the new manager understands his position and what his predecessor has done incorrectly, alright?"
"Of course, Madam."
Mary then bowed to both me and Mother before leaving the study, closing the door behind her.
I wonder what they were talking about?
Meh, not that important anyway since I have something else to ask Mother.
"When would we be leaving here, Mommy?"
She giggled, "Ara, ara~ Does my little one want to leave already?"
I poked my fingers together, "Well… Emilia is worried that her family might find her here and even though I know the uniform can help her prevent that, Emilia would still prefer to leave this city behind just to be safe."
"Ufufufu~ that's no problem my little one. We have already obtained what we came here for so we can leave tomorrow morning~ You can tell your new girlfriend she doesn't need to worry about that~ Now go and have fun my little one~ Your lover over there is practically salivating over you right now~"
I turned back just in time to see Lisa wiping her lips with the back of her hand.
Really? Is there still remnants of Delmare's magic in you or something for you to be this horny?
Ugh whatever… Let's just get out of here first or I have a feeling Mother would join in as well. And we both know what would happen if Mother is horny too…
