A Harem Bath and the Strict Hierarchy of the Horana Family

We all bathed together in the bathroom, tidied up the bed, and then lay down side by side. The bed was large, but it still felt cramped for five people.

Charlotte said that and immediately climbed on top of Gwangnam, guiding his cock into her pussy. Still impaled on him, she lay flat against his body and looked at me.

The arrangement ended up with Gwangnam in the center, Ekaterina and Ruya on either side of him, Charlotte lying on top of his body, and me beside Ruya. What kind of harem was this?

The two who had always liked him were one thing, but even Ruya seemed to have completely fallen for the intense sex. She wore the face of a woman overflowing with affection. In this way, the women who followed one man encouraged his motivation and confidence, and the night grew deep.

The next day, Ruya returned home from the temple looking surprisingly like her usual self.

She spoke with a bright smile. Instead, she turned the concern back on me.

Meeting my standards would be incredibly difficult. Before that, winning over Elisa, who hated men, would be the first major hurdle.

From the day Ruya became Gwangnam’s woman, she began seriously organizing the house. She and Ekaterina went around looking at properties and ended up buying the building right next to the temple, turning it into a home for the family. Since the Bitnari Hunter Team had effectively become Gwangnam and his women’s team, they pooled everyone’s money to make it happen. Thanks especially to Ruya’s exceptional wealth, they displayed the dignity of purchasing the entire temple building itself.

Watching that, I finally understood why Ekaterina had wanted Ruya so badly as her third wife and concubine. Following Ruya as she moved out of their old house and into the new one, I too ended up moving into the Horana family home.

After living with them for a few days, I saw that the Horana family operated under an extremely strict hierarchy. It was a monogamous marriage with multiple concubines. In everyday household matters, the primary wife Ekaterina held the strongest voice and authority, followed by Gwangnam, Charlotte, and then Ruya. The concubines in particular were required to show absolute obedience to the primary wife, the highest-ranking woman in the house. Her instructions had to be followed without question, and any failure or mistake was met with corporal punishment.

As someone who was merely a cohabiting guest, I was exempt, but Charlotte and Ruya were gradually becoming lower-ranking concubines who obeyed the high-status primary wife under Ekaterina’s strict guidance. At night, everything revolved around the head of the family, Gwangnam. Sexual authority belonged solely to him as the center of the household, so even Ekaterina obediently submitted to his demands.

Thanks to Gwangnam’s daily efforts to embrace all three women at once and pour affection into them, the relationship between the three women remained very good despite Ekaterina’s authoritarian guidance.

Today as well, while listening to the three women’s sweet, lewd moans, I was browsing the internet when Elisa spoke to me.

In an instant, I was moved into the mental space and locked inside. At least recently, thanks to Elisa’s efforts in analyzing and adapting Earth’s internet system, I could now access the internet inside the mental space using the implant’s wireless connection function.

I accessed the internet using the computer set up in my space. Earth’s internet, thanks to its vast land, enormous population, and countless countries, was incomparably vast compared to Eden’s. The site called Nutube was an endless treasure trove of videos no matter how much you watched, and each country had its own music sites overflowing with songs in various languages and unique styles.

The recommended videos on the Nutube site kept coming one after another, delighting my eyes. While I was deeply absorbed in watching, I spotted a video titled “Exploring the Erutina Temple” in the recommendations.

Curious, I clicked on it. The person who filmed the video was a Nutuber who traveled the world exploring various religions and temples and uploaded his experiences. His calm tone was pleasant to listen to, and the way he showed the temple while carefully explaining the religion was nice to watch.

In the video, he slowly filmed the Erutina Temple from the exterior and introduced the religion. Since it was publicly known as the goddess of family and love, the evaluation was positive. He assessed it as a more trustworthy religion because the goddess directly bestowed holy power, and he showed the goddess statue and symbolic objects inside.

It happened that the nuns were praying with the believers, so he captured a good scene. The screen then shifted—perhaps edited—and he was sitting face-to-face with a nun for an interview. The same nun who had been at my baptism ceremony was explaining the goddess’s will with a gentle smile.

After the short interview, the screen moved again. It had clearly been daytime when he entered, but the background was now dark night, suggesting quite a bit of time had passed. The Nutuber ended the video by lavishly praising the Goddess Erutina as the true goddess of love.

When I looked at the comments, they were filled with unusual curiosity toward the Erutina Temple that he had praised so highly. Normally comment sections had plenty of negative opinions, but seeing it full of positive reactions, this Nutuber seemed to have a good reputation.

Ding.

While I was reading the comments, a sudden ding sounded and an unknown message appeared on the screen.

A square window contained difficult-looking words, and a confirmation button was blinking. I didn’t know what it was, but since it seemed to be something necessary for using the internet, I pressed confirm. A download indicator appeared, and it installed automatically. Yet even after installation, nothing seemed to change.

It must have been a program that applied itself automatically without needing attention. After spending quite a long time browsing the internet, Elisa finally returned.

It seemed she had acquired research data from somewhere. When I came out, switching places with Elisa, I was back in my room. I left the room and headed to the central living room of the long, corridor-style house. There I saw Ruya receiving instruction from the primary wife.

She must have done something wrong; she was completely naked. In front of Charlotte, she was being punished by Ekaterina.

Slap!Ekaterina’s palm struck Ruya’s cheek with ferocious speed.

Slap! This time her head snapped to the other side.

Usually gentle and soft-spoken, Ekaterina became terrifyingly cold when enforcing the hierarchy between wife and concubines. After Ekaterina coldly turned away from the bowed Ruya and left, Charlotte approached and comforted her.

She had been so well trained that even after being slapped and told to skip dinner, she was blaming herself. The atmosphere was heavy, so I waited a little longer before entering the living room. By then Ruya had calmed down considerably and greeted me warmly.

Even though ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠she had clearly been one-sidedly scolded, she brushed it off as no big deal. I was amazed at how quickly Ekaterina had completely turned Ruya into a proper concubine in such a short time.

That day, as punishment, Ruya lived completely naked and skipped dinner alone when everyone gathered to eat. Gwangnam looked puzzled, but when Ekaterina said it was a matter between wife and concubines, he stayed silent. After finishing her assigned role of cleaning up after the meal, Ruya and I sat together in the living room.

Ruya explained the things a concubine must observe and her position within the family. As I already knew, she had to obey the primary wife Ekaterina and surrender most of her personal rights, including property ownership. That was why all of Ruya’s money had become the family’s money and was being used for the family. Sexual rights belonged solely to the head of the family, Gwangnam, but a concubine bearing a child had to be managed according to the primary wife’s decisions.

She didn’t show the slightest resentment and instead defended and protected Ekaterina to the end. It seemed the effects of her slave training combined with Ekaterina’s appropriate guidance had produced a powerful result.

If she was happy enough to endure unfair treatment, I decided to offer support instead of worry.
