Chapter 128 – Yuki Joins with Nakuma

*** Fluvis ***

Alzi gave us some greedy babies. Just as I finish feeding two of them, two more cries always ring out, making me choose between burping the kids or feeding the next pair. The worst part is that I find feeding them to be... feel better, I guess.

Yes, it is painful. The more dragon their appearance, the worse it is. But I like the connection, I guess, and I think the kids like being by their unborn sisters.

We had a mage come by and make everyone in the house, maids included, to be able to produce milk. Twelve hungry mouths are too much for just me or my wives. A house of lactating women truly is needed for all the mouths.

And it has been a hit for more than just the kids. I've found more than one maid feeding each other, and my wives get a bit greedy when I bring them to bed, though they are a lot gentler on me than the babies.

"My Lady. You should be asleep, not feeding the kids," Petunia insists yet again, burping the pair I just finished feeding.

"I'm already feeding them. I don't get much sleep anyway," I say back. I do get to rest the two cuties on my ever-growing belly, something my wives are a bit jealous about—likely for more reasons than feeding. They may be a little annoyed that I have sixteen kids related to me and they have none. But they are our kids.

"All the more reason to have you trying to sleep. Or let your breasts have a break and let me feed them. I know how much those two hurt."

"I'll live with a bit of pain. I have more than enough mana to live off no sleep for a year if I need to. I'll just have this for a few months. Let me enjoy this," I say.

"You are friends with lady Alzi. You'll have this for more than a few months if you wish."

"I will not count on her giving me more children," I say. "She wasn't happy about losing these kids. I'm not counting on her being my friend, especially if I keep taking her kids away."

"I just worry about you," she says, finishing up her portion of the work. "I'm going to see if these two want to sleep." Petunia passes through the screen and leaves me alone with the two babies.

We had a door, really a screen, put up between my bedroom and one of the nurseries. Four little girls rest there normally; right now, they are latched on my breasts or on Petunia's shoulder. A few maids rest on the other side of the nursery as well to help me take care of them.

"Maids worry too much about Daddy, don't they?" I say to the little ones. They just keep sucking away, ignoring my teasing. "I hope your Mommy finds some time to come and see you. She deserves to see how cute you all are. But I think she hates me now. Don't worry, I'll work on fixing my mistake."

*** Yuki, just as the group returned to her house ***

The walk from the gate was uneventful. It was just a bit slow herding the three dragons in the right direction, as they still had some wonder about the city. Armirynth's pregnancy does make her a bit slower; she doesn't have the vampire extras that Mai has.

"Here we are," I call out to the group, opening my front door. Inside I was hoping to find Nakuma, but the house is still empty. My note is still untouched. "I can show you the empty rooms. It should be a similar size to your old room, so it should work out for you. I would prefer to keep the living space a bit less busy so I'll have Kelly or I show you how to use the storage ring. It isn't too bad; just think of what you want and put a little bit of mana into it. I put all your things in an extra ring we can keep here."

"Thanks, and that would be nice," Armirynth says. "It was crowded before. We don't have much mana to work with, but we also don't have much to do with our mana."

"I'll see what we can do about that. Fighting is the best way to get it up, but we don't have time to take you on safe hunting trips if we are to get that royal request," I say, walking to the back and taking a right. I'm sorry about putting them next to Nakuma, but she shouldn't be home often anyway.

"Oh, that's fine. We planned on going through life without mana. We don't need any more surprises right now," Armirynth says. "Plus, we'll be busy with the twins and Mai's kid soon. Don't worry about us."

"I guess," I say, walking into the free room. "It would just be an easier sell for the marriage if you all were stronger. But the kids will make that harder."

"This is much better than our old room," Ilka says as the trio walks in behind me. "I don't even know if we need to move unless you plan on getting more girls for Alzi's harem."

"No, while Alzi could handle more girls, I doubt the Princess will be willing to take them," I say back. "If there is anything else you need, just let me know. I may already have it in storage somewhere."

"Don't worry, this has everything we need," Ilka says as the group spreads out in the room.

"YUKI!" I get called out from the front.

"I better calm Nakuma down," I say, leaving them to wonder about the room.

I don't make it far before a blur of tails tackles me. Mana the only thing keeping me from slamming into the floor. The tails and arms wrap me up as her lips assault my face.

"Nakuma," I start to say before my lips get captured.

"It's been too long, Yuki. I want you so bad. I need you, my Princess," Nakuma says when she frees my lips. "Is Alzi gone?"

"Yes, Alzi has been sold now."

"So you're ready to join me?" she says like a little puppy.

"Yes. Now, can you let me go?" I ask.

She does let me go. Only after a few more kisses, the last few finding my breasts. At least she helps me up.

"So we have our next mission already. I was just stopping by to see if you came back. I heard voices so I came running. The warrior is a bit cranky when she has to wait," Nakuma says, dragging me back to the front of the house.

"Ok, ok. Just let me leave the extra ring with Kelly. I don't want to run off with all of the dragon's stuff," I plead. "I don't think they want to walk around naked for a week."

"Hmm, they did look nice. But you are the only one I really care about seeing naked, so I guess you can," Nakuma says, freeing my hand.

I don't think that needs a response, so I walk over to Kelly's room. Inside already looks like her old room, minus the clinic half she had. Her small brewing station is set up in the corner with some plants by the window. Books pile up on her desk, ready to be sorted.

"Kelly, Nakuma already has a commission ready, so I need to leave. Can you show the group how to use the ring?" I ask her.

"Yes," she says, holding out her hand. I give her the ring and catch up with Nakuma in the living room.

She takes my arm in an instant and pulls me out the door and through the city.

I expect her to take me to the nearest guild, but she moves us away from it and towards the gate. A liberal use of her space magic lets us move right through the crowd.

"Nakuma, don't I need to be added to the quest?" I ask.

"No, I have an illusion doing that for us."

"They don't like when we do that you know," I say.

"Don't care," Nakuma says. "Now stop dragging your feet. I don't want to hear the stupid warrior complaining even more. I promised her two mages, and she hasn't been happy with just me."

"Who did you get?"

"Some girl that wants to serve a princess. Honestly, she could probably take over a house if she just settled for a Countess," Nakuma says. "Girl has some silly dream about Princesses or something."

"Sounds like we have a strong group, at least."

"You could say that," Nakuma says. "You are the weakest in the group."

"This girl can't get into a Princess's harem when she's as strong as you?" I say in my surprise. "What's wrong with her?"

"Doesn't like all the noble stuff," Nakuma says with a soft chuckle. "I got her in heels for an evening, and she was tripping every three steps. One-inch heels at that. Then, all the rules, eating, and being nice. She is just the typical knight in those stories."

"Well, if you ignore her foot problems, she'll fit right in with the others," I say.

"I suppose she will," Nakuma says.

We slip right past the guards at the gate, likely with an illusion to keep them from asking us annoying questions. Nakuma has us continue on the road for a bit before pulling off to the side and into the forest.

"Victoria, I brought a new member!" Nakuma shouts out.

"About fucking time," comes from the trees. A few moments later a tall human woman comes lumbering out. "You promised me another damn mage a while ago. What took her so long?"

"I was waiting on a woman to give birth," I respond. The leather chest piece does nothing to hide her bust; not that much could hide her bust. Her brown hair was tied up in a tight bun, and her muscles would have Alzi stiff and wet.

"That dragon girl you were talking about?" Victoria ask.

"Yes, that one," Nakuma says in a hurry. "Ok, I added Yuki here to the mission, so we're ready to head out now."

"What is the mission?" I ask before Nakuma goes running off.

"Scouting and assassination," Victoria starts. "A group of monsters is gathering near a village. All kinds of things, from goblins and orcs to the more disgusting abominations the deep woods create. We are to find who is leading the group and kill the bastard. Extra points for anything else we fuck up on the way out."

"Sounds fun," I say. "Lead the way."
