Chapter Title: Wives' Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, when I visited the broker's guild, the landlord was already waiting for me. He was an old man with snow-white hair, and his sunken eyes made it clear he didn't have much time left.
"You said you wanted to buy the house?"
"Are you the landlord, old timer?"
"That's right."
"How much?"
The old man closed his eyes as if pondering my question for a moment. His eventual answer was quite unexpected.
"65 silver. I'll sell it for that price."
"Hmm."
It wasn't more expensive than I'd thought.
Well, houses in this world weren't like luxury apartments back home in the capital region—extremely pricey status symbols.
"Any reason you're listing it at that price?"
Still, for a two-story house of decent size, that felt like a real bargain. Was it because it was in a remote spot?
"I'm liquidating my assets right now. Planning to head far away."
"I see. Thinking of returning to your hometown?"
"That's the kind of thing that crosses your mind when you get old."
Seemed like the old man was a foreigner here.
Selling off his property to spend his final days back home? Price it too high, and it might not sell. Time could be short. I didn't pry into the details.
Everyone has their own circumstances.
I chatted with him about the house.
I scrutinized the guild-certified sales contract down to the fine print, confirming the clause that the guild would take responsibility if any issues arose from the listed terms.
In other words, anything not specified was on me. I put my college-honed reading comprehension to the test, making sure there were no gotchas that could screw me over.
Seemed fine overall.
The house's durability was solid, and the plumbing had been repaired just two years ago.
Not bad at all. Bought cheap enough that if I moved later, I could sell without much hassle.
Incidentally, with the house at 65 silver, the broker's guild commission was a whopping 10 silver.
The guild had the lord's authorization for real estate brokering, so it probably bundled in taxes, property fees, and all that jazz.
Damn expensive—my hands were shaking.
My personal savings were about 1 gold total. I split earnings with Claudy and Winia, but pooled living expenses. That's what I'd scraped together.
Three-quarters of my net worth went to the house.
"So, sir? How about a provisional contract for now?"
"Provisional?"
I was mulling it over when the broker approached.
"You pay half the house price upfront plus half the commission. That locks in a provisional hold—no one else can buy it. Lasts a week, giving you time for final checks. After that, cancel and get your deposit back, or pay the rest and seal the deal."
"Can't refuse that. Let's do it."
A week was enough for everyone to check it out. If it got the thumbs-up, buy it. If vibes were off, find somewhere else.
Paid the deposit right away, grabbed the provisional papers, and headed out.
"Blacky checks the fine print like a pro?"
Winia eyed me with genuine surprise. In any civilized society, what could be more important than a contract?
"Nothing in this world matters more."
"True enough. I was gonna look it over, but you handled it."
"Heh heh, of course. I'm a civilized barbarian."
"Hilarious."
One slip on contracts, and you're wide awake getting your nose slit. Winia reviewed the papers too—no red flags.
Ownership verified, taxes covered in the commission. No money headaches.
"But Katt, you could've closed the deal outright. Why provisional?"
"We all gotta check it out first—the five of us."
"Yeah... hee hee, five of us heading out? Katt, you dying to parade your girls around?"
"Music to my ears."
"So dreamy."
Claudy rubbed her cheek against mine. I slipped a hand under her hood and kneaded her ear.
"Eek. Guess no more house hunting needed. Let's grab Karin on her day off and go together. Head home for today."
"Sounds good."
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ House scouting wrapped, mornings spent training, afternoons resting—time flew by.
After the broker's visit, I notified everyone of the provisional status and set a group viewing. Karin and Lisha were thrilled, and today was the day.
"Pleased to meet you all. Feels like our first gathering."
"Yeah. Nice to meet you, Lisha."
"Likewise, dark elf girl."
No better spot to meet, so we gathered at our lodging. Woke up early, picked up Lisha (who didn't know the way), then Karin.
Now five crammed into the room three had shared.
The air felt thick with a sweet floral scent today. Each wife's unique fragrance scrambled my brain. Intoxicating.
"Can't believe it, blacky."
"...What a sight. Hubby's got game."
We sat around one table.
Winia and Karin clung to my arms on either side. Claudy and Lisha sat opposite. They seemed to click.
"Hubby's got game? Snagged four stunners? What a dog."
"Heh heh, yep."
Karin poked my cheek with her finger. Four together? Like a painting come to life.
The scents, their smiles whenever our eyes met, the skinship on both sides—it was driving me wild with excitement.
My wives were all kind-hearted, gorgeous, and stacked.
"Well said. To claim four such beauties—my mate is a wicked man indeed."
"Hee hee, Katt's amazing, so of course."
"I concur."
Lisha and Claudy chimed in with sultry smiles. Side by side, they oozed sex appeal. Winia leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Blacky knows he's punching way above his weight, right?"
"Hubby, even in the kingdom knights, I never saw beauties like this grouped up."
All eyes on me.
"Heh heh, ahh—this bliss is gonna knock me out. Yeah, happiness beyond my station."
Just grinning like an idiot. Quadruple the joy? Happiness levels rising lately.
"Look at this perv pitching a tent. Adorable—how hyped are you?"
"Blacky's hard?"
Impossible not to be. Excitement jacked my temp. Masculinity surging—pants too tight, blood rushing south.
"Oh ho? Turned on with all your wives here, Katt?"
"Shall we relieve that lust?"
"Oh my, Lisha gets it."
"Thrilled we see eye to eye. He's brimming with desire and affection. Gotta drain it each time, or it'll hurt his health."
"Hee hee, spot on."
Claudy and Lisha tag-teamed. Tempting as hell, but we weren't here for that...
"No, sisters. Skip the house viewing, and it'll drag to next week. Love blacky all you want—later. We gotta go."
Winia reeled us in.
Right—house first today.
"'All you want' later, huh?"
"Hee hee, Winia—that what you think?"
Sharp ears caught her implication; they teased. Winia flushed, buried her face in my chest.
"Ah, no... just saying it'll happen anyway... And sisters, you sync up a lot. Elf thing?"
Anyway, Winia was right.
"Yep, well said. Let's head out."
Get up before I lost it.
"Very well."
"If Katt says so."
They rose too, donning outerwear. Curves still popped. Four like that? Gulp.
"Got a little stiff—shame."
"Sis!"
Led my wives out. Single file: Winia and Karin flanking, Claudy and Lisha outside. Laughter and chatter from both sides.
"Ahh, bliss beyond my station."
"Kyahaha, knows my man. All yours?"
"Blacky, just become a noble. Four wives? Insane."
Walking drew stares—men, women, young, old, eyes bulging.
—O-over there...
—Whoa...
—N-noble ladies...?
Claudy, Winia, Karin, Lisha—all drop-dead gorgeous, rare sights. Killer figures too—one alone turns heads; four together? Dreamscape.
Me in the middle.
Heavenly Demon Kim Katt's that guy.
"Hee hee, Katt—everyone's staring."
"Hmm, better hire a carriage."
"Ah, yeah."
Hour's walk, so hailed a nearby coach. Idle driver quoted 10 copper.
10 copper an hour? Pricey.
"Sir? Escort for those noble ladies?"
Watching my wives board. Fair assumption. Grinned it off, climbed in.
Cozy for four. They were already squeezed thigh-to-thigh.
Inside filled with their scent—like a luxury garden.
"Ah."
Hunching? Claudy patted her lap.
"Katt, sit here."
"Claudy, you sure?"
"Fine. C'mere."
Hesitating—others patted theirs too.
"Ho? My lap's open too. Over here."
"Mm, sis wouldn't mind. C'mon."
"What bliss is this..."
What to choose...!
"Ugh... blacky, c'mere quick."
Ended up on Winia's seat, her on my lap. Arm around her waist. Yeah—me on their laps? No way.
Others pouted.
Trouble.
"I'm smallest, so this works."
"But biggest chest."
"Nah, Lisha-sis seems bigger."
Winia eyed Lisha's cleavage. Lisha smirked, hand on her upper bust.
"Hmm, care to compare?"
"Huh?"
Like she might flash—
"Ah, no! Lisha-sis, not here..."
"Hee hee, kidding."
Anyway, carriage rolled. Curtains dimmed it nicely—cozy vibe. Bodies pressed, chatter flowed.
