Volume 2 Chapter 11 (1/2)

Our work for the day was over.

The infrastructures were in place so we now planned on focusing on the commerce side of things starting tomorrow. The apples and the hard breads would serve as our city’s products alongside the weapons that Elder Dwarf prepared. Thinking of additional interesting things to put on sale was a necessary task too.

Leaving that aside……

“Hot spring! ♪”

Yes, a hot spring.

Around the second day of our city’s development, Ancient Elf mentioned to me that the water under the ground was flowing strangely. When she went to investigate it, she discovered that there was a natural wellspring there. She dug it up and we built a public bath house for the city using the simple designs suggested by Elder Dwarf.

I thought that a public bathhouse such as this was needed for the health and enjoyment of the people of this city so it was a huge blessing. Health and entertainment aren’t its only purpose though; it would also serve as an inn that would help attract the humans. For those reasons, we put in the effort and completed the bath house. I prioritized resistance to degradation and ease of maintenance so the pool itself was built of stone.

By the way, in regards to the natural wellspring, Elder Dwarf devised a pump that would draw the water up while also diluting it down. There was a need for diluting it because this city’s wellspring was affected by the elves’ blessing and therefore had a far higher concentration of minerals than an ordinary wellspring.

“Oto-san, you’re so slow.”

Kuina pulled my hand as she urged me to hurry up. I couldn’t help myself from smiling wryly at her.

We then entered the public bathhouse and proceeded to the changing area. She instantly and unabashedly threw her clothes off while Elder Dwarf, on the other hand, looked slightly embarrassed as she slowly took off her clothes. Meanwhile, Ancient smiled as she watched the two. By the time they were done changing, I was instantly undressed. I seemed to not have any trouble with being seen naked.

“Oto-san, let’s go!”

“Master, hurry up.”

“Kuina and Elder Dwarf both look so cute. *drool*”

I nodded at them and headed toward the bath.

By the way, my clothes were made of magic power so I didn’t need to change. Whenever I dismiss my clothing, my body would absorb the magical energies. In a way, this too was an ability of a Demon Lord. And as the Demon Lord grows stronger, so too will his equipment.

◇

When we entered the bath, clouds of steam were rising. At the center of it all was the pool made of stone.

Kuina, naked and tail swinging, neared the pool of water. Having an appearance of a 12 or maybe 13 year old girl, her growth was going along nicely. As her father though, I think I would want her to show some kind of embarrassment soon.

I then turned my gaze at the silver-haired Elder Dwarf that looked the same age as Kuina. She was a beauty with a flat chest but rather than likening her to a little girl, it would be better to say she was as slender as a sprite.

“Master, don’t look at me like that. It’s embarrassing.”

That was the right kind of embarrassment I would like Kuina to also display.

“Master, what are you spacing out for?”

Something softly collided with my back. It was Ancient Elf who came to embrace me.

“Ancient Elf? Can you not do something like this when you’re naked, at the very least?”

“It’s master so there’s no problem. I’m glad master’s back is so big.”

She looked slightly older than Kuina and the others at around 14 or maybe 15 years old. Her figure was greatly more mature compared to them as well. To be specific, she had large breasts.

Clinging onto my back, her womanly charms were through the roof.

“I get it so let me go.”

Despite being my own creation, I had no control over her base personality. I might forget myself if she does something more than this.

“Alright. Fufufu. Master has given me the cold shoulder so it looks like I have to show my love for Kuina-chan and El-chan instead, don’t I?”

Like a beast eyeing its prey, Ancient Elf looked at Kuina and Elder Dwarf.

Kuina’s tail then stood on end while Elder Dwarf’s spine tingled.

It was a relatively serious matter.

At any case though, Kuina, after pouring hot water over her head, was the first to head to the pool and submerge in it. She then displayed an ecstatic face. So cute.

“Let’s go, shall we? Otherwise, Kuina will be dizzy before we even get in the water.”

“That’s certainly so.”

“Yeah, right? I want to be in the water with everyone at the same time.”

And so, we poured hot water on ourselves and submerged in the water.

◇

“AH! El-chan, no! That’s my spot!”

“First come, first serve. Kuina is always enjoying this spot but today, today is my turn.”

I leaned my back to a wall and spread my legs open but the moment she got in the water, Elder Dwarf slid her small body in the space created by my open legs. Kuina was usually the one to do something like this. Just when I thought Elder Dwarf was strangely sticking close to me, it turned out she was just aiming to do this before Kuina even had a chance.

“Uggghh. Kuina’s spot….”

Said Kuina as glared toward us.

“Now, now. The early bird gets the early worm so there’s no helping it. Kuina-chan, let me make up for your loneliness, okay?”

Ancient Elf happily hugged Kuina from behind. Moreover, she restlessly moved her hands and caressed various places. As a result, Kuina leaked out a passionate gasp but immediately replaced it with grim expression.

“Only Oto-san is allowed to do something like that. Plus, Elf-chan, touching me only on weird places makes me hate it all the more.”

Kuina shook her body and broke free of the hold she was in. She then went my way. When I wondered what she was about to do, she lightly pushed Elder Dwarf to the right, slipped in to the space that was created, and then leaned on me.

The feeling of her tail made wet by the water on the pool and on my skin; the feeling of the girls leaning their back on me… it all felt great.

“The two of you are small enough to both fit here.”

“But today’s my turn.”

“We don’t have go by the pecking order, El-chan.”

“…I’ll remember those words. The next time you’re about to act like a spoiled child, I’ll bounce those words back to you.”

“Ugh, O-okay.”

At that, Elder Dwarf smiled. Kuina was sly but were full of openings which were occasionally exploited by Elder Dwarf.

“Master, I’m jealous. I want to be loved together with Kuina-chan and El-chan.”

“Yeah, come here.”

Relaxing at a hot spring and enjoying the warmth coming from the girls, this was the life.

“Hug us tightly like you always do.”
