Chương 148: Chapter 131. Goals and Comforts

I find it weird that I've come to my office to relax after I finished renovating the roads and walls of Paradise. Maybe it's because I don't feel my workday is truly over after all the 12-hour days I've been putting in between hunting, training, meditating and farming? Am I becoming a workaholic? / Creak. / As I was thinking about the bleak prospect of my life being a never-ending stream of overtime and stress, I heard the door of my office open up. Sarah and Anna had entered the office as well."

Good work today, sorry again, for making you 2 have so much work."" Well, I don't mind, Darling! I've grown a little antsy ever since the Maids have taken over my usual tasks. It's even hard to practice my cooking except on the rest days you force them to have."" I don't mind teaching them. However, I hope next time, we can be together during the work. I don't like being away from you or Anna for so long. It gets lonely, My Love." Anna and Sarah both responded to my thanks in different ways.

I wish they could just use my name, but the Servants work every weekday, so it only lets us be truly alone and free on the weekends. The idea that they all thought I'd force them to work every day of the week nearly made me weep. I couldn't imagine not having rest days. However, once they observed my first work week here in Paradise, they began to protest about my own work schedule. I explained that this was only to start with.

Everything I've been doing, came with the intention that I'd only have to work this hard for a few months. I'd only have to do this before the slots for the multiple jobs I've been doing became filled by others in time. They accepted my reasonings... But with a sideways glance. While I thought about that event that happened a few days ago, I figured I needed to assure Sarah and Anna about the reasons why I needed their help on this one." I mean, I wasn't planning on finding Humans who needed help.

I am sorry about having you both work while separated from me, but I don't truly trust anyone else with the task of watching over the Humans."" What about Ruby?" Sarah brought up Ruby when I was speaking about trust." I trust her. As a Subordinate and a person, but to watch over that amount of people? I don't think she's up for the job currently. I feel like she works better when she has someone instructing her about what to do. Like you are now, Sarah."" Do you think she has potential to do something like that?"

Anna asked me about Ruby as well. I have no reason to lie." I think she would need to be educated by someone who has experience doing that. Maybe a High-Ranking Military Official? Since I think I'll put her in the upper echelon of the Military matters of Paradise. Since she likes fighting, I imagine something like that will suit her well."" What if she turns you down, My Love?"" Then, I'll help her do what she wants. Or help her figure out what she wants to do.

I view her as a good person who's done a lot for me already. I don't see why I can't help her out too."" I see." Sarah had some questions for me it seems. I wondered about some of the future positions for some of the people of Paradise for a moment, until Anna's voice broke my train of thought as she began to speak to Sarah." Sarah, the Servants have left, except for Janet and Jim. They seem to be cooking in the kitchen. Maybe now is a good time to bring it up?"" I suppose so. I think we should know the answer."

Sarah and Anna both turned their gazes to me. What did I do this time? I think I know what it's about though... If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement." I'm all ears. If you want to know anything, just tell me. I'll never lie to you two." They smiled at that. Seems it lightened the mood somewhat. Anna began to speak to me." Well, when you spoke about the reasons why you wanted the Humans to stay, my eyes told me that you lied.

Do you have another reason for why you wanted them to stay here?" I smiled at her question. Should've known I couldn't sneak it past them. I nodded my head to Anna's question." Yes. I had another reason, though if I'm being honest, it's kind of selfish. Which is why I didn't mention it." I spun slightly to my left so I looked out at the town and saw the Demons and Humans doing their shopping. While their faces were tense, it didn't seem like any fighting would take place for the day.

For some reason, I felt some hope seeing it." Well, what is it? Tell us, My Love." Sarah is getting impatient it seems. I scratch my head a little before looking back at my 2 Wives." Well, I want this town to get used to different Races being here. And I want them to get along. Because eventually, Our Children are going to live here. And they'll be half Human and half Demon. So, I wanted them to be able to have friends and be able to laugh and play with other kids regardless of their Race.

I also don't want anyone looking down on you both here if this is the place where we're going to live from now on. I mean I lik----" / CRASH! / That was the sound of me, falling backwards in my chair, as both my Wives jumped into me.

The fact that I don't flinch at the pain in my head from hitting the giant window behind me, because 2, 8-foot-tall women, jumping into my chair with such force, that I had no option but to accept the pain to come, is a testament to the fact that I've grown used to similar events happening in the past year. If I didn't know better, I'd say they're training me or something. / Sniffle/ My train of thought was halted by the sound of Sarah and Anna sniffling. I look down at them and spoke."

Like I said when we got Married. I Love You Both. And I'm sure I'm going to love the Children we make, who'll be half of you as well. I don't just want what's best for them, but I also don't want anyone to look down on you 2 for Marrying a Human." Both girls heard my words and stopped shaking." You're an idiot if you think we'd care about that. Even if something like what you just said happened, we'd give those people capital punishment. Don't even get me started on someone hurting a product of Our Love!"

Sarah spoke confidently to me with bright eyes.... And a booger falling down her nose." I'll always be on the lookout for something like that! I won't ever let something like that happen to Our Children!" Anna shared a similar mindset as Sarah it seems. Bright eyes and booger included. I started laughing at the scene in front of my eyes. Both of my Wives were looking up at me, with determined, but teary eyes and they were sniffling every couple of seconds." Why are you laughing!?" Wipe... Wipe...

Sarah seems to think I'm taking it as a joke. I place my hands into the sleeves of my long-sleeved shirt, and I wipe both of their noses." It's just that every day, I somehow have a moment where I remember just how blessed I am for having you both as my Wives. And how lucky Our Children will be to have you both as Mothers. I hope I keep being worthy of you both, as we continue moving forward together."" We'll make sure you are!" They both responded in unison to my words." Treat me kindly."

Even with all of the problems there are going to be. When it comes to making Paradise a better place for My Family. I guess sometimes, I need to enjoy the present? Wrap... I wrapped my arms around Sarah and Anna and gave them a hug. Honestly, I've grown quite addicted to having physical contact with my Wives. I wonder if I could suffer withdraw if I go too long without something like this now?" Well, you should've just said you wanted to have a little bit of fun, My Love!"" Sarah!"

Sarah and Anna spoke as I noticed Sarah began to bring her hands to my belt and started to unfasten it. Grope... Pull! Tighten!" Wait! Sarah! There's a giant window here! People can see us!" Loosen... Sarah stopped herself and looked me in the eye and began to speak." That makes it better!" GRIP! A devilish smile appeared on her face as she undid my belt, I tried to fight her off, but Sarah is the physically strongest member of the 3 of us! I could only wiggle in protest.

I looked at Anna for help, but her eyes say that she was in agreement with Sarah! Oh no! This is going to be bad! /CRASH! / The door in my office swung open with force. Yes! Freedom! Sarah released me! I guess having a stranger witness our time together is a step too far for even her! I need to make sure she never grows a taste for crossing that line! We all shot to our feet to see Ruby had entered the room." Ruby?" I asked, confused at her appearance. She seemed panicked for some reason.

She caught her breath as it appears she ran to us. Once her breathing had calmed down, she began to speak to us." Lord Matthew! Lady Sarah! Lady Anna! A Wyvern has appeared South of Paradise! We need to evacuate immediately!" We were confused at her panic. I asked a simple question that explained everything about why I was confused." Why are you panicked about a Wyvern?" Ruby looked at me with horror on her face as Sarah and Anna seemed to not be as worried as Ruby.
