Kat PoV
As had beco my routine, I awoke early in the day, except...
Looking around, I was slightly confused at the room I was in, until I felt that now familiar softness of Leone laying beside , her face paler than normal as she smiled contentedly in her sleep.
Considering the large bulge in the sheet, it seed that our resident Vampire was dreaming about our ride last night, making chuckle.
Getting up carefully, I made sure Leone was undisturbed as I stumbled out into the hall, my legs still slightly weak.
Pressing a hand to my stomach, I continuously channeled a healing spell into my body, easing the aches and pains I felt as I slowly made my way towards the bathroom.
Entering my room, I saw Jahi and Anput laying on the bed, the Jackalkin also asleep as Jahi gently stared down at her, brushing any loose strands of hair out of the sleeping woman's face.
Seeing , the Demoness grinned, silently getting up and following into the bath.
Kneeling behind her as she sat in front of a shower, I started washing her broad back, running my hands over her rippling muscles.
"Did you enjoy yourself?"
Hearing her speak, I tilted my head and pursed my lips, thinking about how to respond.
"Hmm... it was... different. I think I enjoyed myself..?"
Jahi nodded, glancing over her shoulder to smirk at as she said "It was indeed different... Fun, though. Quite fun..."
Rolling my eyes at her 'awakening', I continued washing her off before asking "Did Anput like it?"
"I think so. She was constantly clinging to . What about Leone? I can't wait to hold both of you; it'd be soooo~ soft~"
Chuckling, I pressed myself into her back, whispering "It was soft~ Hmm... do you think you could handle it though~?"
Jahi twisted around, easily pinning under her as she smirked down at .
"Oh, I think I could!"
What followed was a quick and efficient sating of our remaining desires, Jahi finally getting to utilize her rough touch as I writhed under her in pain and pleasure.

Laying out a simple oatal on the table, I returned to the kitchen, preparing myself to start getting my sauce ready.
For so odd reason I'd been craving a tomato sauce of so kind, and I had all the ingredients...
Smiling to myself, I happily sliced the tomatoes I had in half, before scooping out the tasty, mushy insides.
Tossing the skins to the side, I added salt and pepper before stirring, then I minced so garlic, basil, oregano, and so other herbs, mixing them into the growing pot of sauce.
Double checking everything I had added, I let out a slight 'Ah!' as I rembered to add a small rind of cheese, finding one that tasted close enough to either parsan, mozzarella, or asiago; all three were cheeses I used to thicken and enhance the sauce in my previous life.
Hearing soone sit down at the table, I peered over my shoulder to see Leone staring intently at , blushing furiously.
"Good morning~!"
"Ah..! G-Good morning..."
Chuckling, I returned to my sauce, listening to Leone eat her breakfast.
"So how was last night~?"
Jahi walked in next, sitting beside Leone and smirking at the now crimson faced Vampire.
Shuffling in her seat, Leone pursed her lip, staring down into her bowl of blood soaked cranberry oatal.
"I-It was... r-really, really good..."
Chuckling, Jahi ruffled Leone's ashen hair, whispering sothing to the Vampire, who's lava like eyes widened in surprise.
"Really?"
"Really! So?"
"Y-Yes... I-I think I'd l-like that..!"
Furrowing my brow, I looked back at Jahi smirking and Leone licking her lips. the two raking their gazes over .
However, before I could ask about anything, Anput stumbled in, draped in a long robe as she plopped into the chair, groaning slightly.
"I did that~!"
"Jahi..."
Sighing, I let the pot simr before walking over to Anput, laying my hands gently on her shoulders.
Her citrusy scent was subdued this morning, barely an undertone to Jahi's cloying sweetness.
Creating the sequence for a healing spell, I gradually healed Anput's tense, sore muscles, the Jackalkin narrowing her eyes as she moaned gently.
T-Thank you, Kat...~"
"Mhm..."
Finishing up, I slid the bowl of oatal closer to her, watching as she desperately devoured it, draining her cup of tea next.
Rolling my eyes, I was about to admonish her when I recalled my first ti, and how I felt that morning after.
I doubt Jahi was as... unrestrained as she was then, but still, it must be a rather unpleasant morning for Anput.
Patting her shoulder, I returned to the kitchen, picking up an apple to munch on as I placed a wind ritual circle above the pot, which would occasionally move the spoon around while we were away.
It took a lot of mana, but considering we were just going to the Academy, I could deal with not being at full capacity, especially since it would only take an hour or so to get back to full.
Sliding behind , Jahi wrapped her arms around my waist, and I instinctively leaned backwards into her embrace.
"What are you making?"
"Dinner."
Sighing, Jahi leaned down, kissing my cheek before pinching my waist.
"I know that, idiot. What IS it?"
"Tomato sauce, and I'll make noodles tonight to cover with this."
"Noodles... huh, alright. No at though?"
Pursing my lips, I looked down at the sauce, realizing I forgot to add either ground beef or atballs, but...
"Beef or chicken?"
"Leone? Anput? I'm fine with either..."
"Huh? O-Oh, um... beef..."
"Beef~"
"Alright, so beef. How are you going to add at to this?"
Enjoying how interested Jahi was in this, I glanced up at her with a smile, before gesturing towards the sauce.
"When we co ho we'll pick up so cheap beef, I'll slice it thin and then grind it down. Adding so spices into it, I'll then roll it into a ball and cook so atballs, which will you can eat on their own or with the sauce and noodles. Sound good?"
"Why cheap beef? We have money y'know..."
"Easier to work with, and we should keep our spending down for now. I know the Marquess gave us a lot, but still, unless you wish to ask both her and the Countess for more money, we need to start keeping track of our funds."
Jahr was about to say sothing when she stopped, likely imagining the smirk from the Marquess and sharp, narrowed gaze of the Countess.
"Yeah... we probably should..."
However, even as she said that Jahi pouted, likely not enjoying the idea of not being able to spend large quantities of money on us.
Rolling my eyes, I stroked her cheek to get her attention back, saying "If we're going down to Zhu'Rong Caverns regularly, we can just sell any excess materials we find for money. I'll keep track of everything, but that ans you need to start writing down what you spend and let know."
Jahi nodded, smirking down at as she said "So are you going to be the responsible, diligent wife that everyone craves?"
Turning in her arms, I wrapped my arms around her neck, smiling as I nodded.
"Soone has to, and neither you or Anput seem too interested in it. As for Leone..."
We both glanced at the Vampire, who was scribbling sothing down in her notepad, muttering to herself.
"Well, most likely she'll be to busy studying to care about finances. So, that just leaves ~"
Kissing , Jahi murmured "Thank you, Kat."
Returning her kiss, I grinned as I whispered "Soone has to do it. All I can hope for is that our children get my responsible side, at the very least..."
Grinning at that, the Demoness pressed her lips against mine, her passionate kiss slowly taking my breath away.
"Oh I don't know, I think I'd like to see them be as passionate as you are during a fight~"
Chuckling, we both moved towards the table, getting ready to make our way to the Academy.

Julie PoV
Ria and I found ourselves out in the city, shopping for both her and for our children.
Entering a smithy, Ria looked towards the wall, where a dozen blades of all kinds were displayed.
"Julie, your girl uses a dagger, correct?"
"Indeed she does, Mistress."
Turning to look at , Ria pursed her lips as she stared at my figure, naly my shapely breasts and hips.
"How you both managed to be that agile with a body like that...it's unfair!"
The elf pouted at adorably, and it took all I had to not laugh at her childish attitude.
She stared down at her modest chest, which barely bumped out of her tight robes.
"Hmph! Damn maid..."
She turned around with a huff, and I couldn't help it anymore.
Letting out a low chuckle, I froze as she shot over towards , glaring at .
"Did you just chuckle?"
"No Mistress."
However, even though her azure eyes made shiver, I was really, really good at not only keeping my expression neutral, but concealing any other emotions.
Staring at intently, Ria narrowed her eyes before sighing.
"Fine, make fun of your Mistress! Hmph! I was even thinking of getting sothing special for you! Not anymore!"
Holding back another chuckle, I watched as Ria walked around, continuing her childish charade.
Walking around the shop, Ria inspected various blades and tals, before calling out to the smith, who was nervously standing in the corner.
"I want two blades made from this tal here. A dagger about yay long and light, while the other is a longsword, heavy, made to fit soone that stands around six and a half feet."
He walked forwards, pulling out a notepad and scribbling down her order.
Making sure that she didn't splurge and give Katherine an ornate, expensive dagger, since I had always thought that a fighter should never rely on their weapon, but instead their technique and instinct.
As for the other blade, I was curious about why she wanted to give Lady Jahi another blade, but maybe she had similar thoughts to ; that sword the Empress gifted Jahi was a masterpiece, and could easily turn the young Demoness into a poorer fighter because of it.
Smiling gently at the back of Ria, I found my heart warming at the sight of her caring in her own, unique way endearing, and my hand unconsciously stroked my stomach.
