Chapter 150 - The Birth of the Horse Boss! (4)
“I never thought it would turn out like this... What do we do, Liz?”
“Yeah... Sigh...”
In a bare, dimly lit room devoid of furniture. Lizbet and Klea sat in the empty space, yet to be decorated, wearing bitter expressions as they held their reflection meeting.
Their master, Sema's anger... Even though it was just him being annoyed, as slaves, they felt ashamed for causing their master such emotions... The two females hung their heads, sunk in a gloomy mood.
If their shadowy expressions were seen by their master, he might even regret scolding them—the depth of their remorse was that palpable on their faces.
“I never imagined Master would hate it that much...”
“We got too complacent. We should've been more careful about his mood and taken it slower...”
“We were both so excited to have a proper base for full operations.”
“And on top of that... we got carried away rescuing eight at once... Sigh...”
Lizbet, leaning against the wall with arms crossed, and Klea, hand on her cheek, both let out heavy sighs in unison.
To any outsider, they looked like they were burdened with some grave worry—their sighs carried that much weight.
“What now? If we stick to the line Master drew today, it'll be hard to meet the timeline, right?”
“...Sigh. If we'd just waited a bit longer, he would've naturally accepted it thanks to what he has...”
“At least he said slaves are limited to those without lovers or family, so if we keep offering them, he'll eventually want more on his own... But making us the key ones is trickier now...”
With another sigh, the two females wore contemplative looks. Soon, Lizbet made a resigned face and spoke in a bitter tone.
“No helping it. For now, we'll have to watch Master's mood closely and guide him as secretly as possible.”
“We'll limit slave candidates to employees only for a while. We need to expand the business types fast.”
“For Master's females... just like he said, we'll carefully pick heroines—lay the groundwork for him and watch.”
“...It might be good to create situations where he has to ask for our help. Once we do, his resistance should fade...”
“We'll make mating with Master even more intense. That way, he'll crave stronger thrills...”
And so, their reflection meeting continued a while longer in the dim room.
“The king of horses, they say~ No matter what anyone says~”
My steps felt so light as I strolled out after a while. It'd been five days since Horse Hof opened, and contrary to my worries, things were going perfectly smooth.
Unlike the rundown building that reeked of crime before, the clean remodel seemed to draw people in comfortably...
Back then, the vibe scared folks off before they even entered—the bar was more for show than real business anyway.
I'd modeled it after Earth bars, giving it a modern feel... and the reactions were positive. Heh... Do I have a knack for business? Everything I touch turns to gold, like the perfect stud horse...
...Nah, honestly, it's the opening hype plus our improved staff vibe.
I worried mating with me might corrupt them badly, but nope—they thanked me, vowing lifelong loyalty to me and my females. My bar's staff, the beast's slaves.
...Still weird calling them that. Slaves? Will I ever get used to it?
In a doomed world, they wanted to serve their savior. Seeing that, I thought, 'Huh, fair enough?' Made me wonder if banging any woman was fine since everything's ending anyway. Tricky.
They said my horse semen made them understand something... but couldn't explain clearly, just mumbling.
Hmm... No clue yet. Feels too beastly to screw anyone, but then, 'World's doomed anyway—what's wrong with showing 'em horse cock bliss?'
Human me or beast me? Tough call. I'll mull it over slowly. Told my females not to push women on me too.
Sense'll come with time.
“Sis~! I'm here~”
Humming along the street, I pushed open Lianna's shop door without hesitation.
Since remodel started, I'd been visiting steadily, tempting her. Please don't quit—open in our building!
Her hubby wanted out of sexy clothes, back to normal stuff with her... No way, man. Can't waste that talent on plain rags. Your wife's for my females' outfits.
So I made 'em a killer offer. No way they turned it down, right?
“Oh my. Sema's here?”
Lianna from the back greeted me brightly. My inner horse cock twitched like 'Female!?' ...Chill, it's Lianna. Stay put.
Don't wanna treat my big helper as just a one-fuck slave, but making her mine wrecks a innocent family—hubby and kid'd be pitiful.
She's married anyway, so slave status feels off... Damn, such a shame. If only her hubby were a hero.
“Sis. Doing good?”
“Hehe. It's only been days since last time. Yeah, I'm good.”
Hmm. Brightest face I've seen lately... Hope rising?
“Ahem. First, your answer... Sis, talked to hubby?”
Couldn't ignore hubby's say, so Lianna planned to quit after paying loans by selling shop and materials.
Then make normal clothes at his shop. I suggested our building, but she shook her head—too hard.
Couldn't move materials without clearing loans; hubby wanted family focus regardless.
Pitying her, I made a bold offer: I'd pay remaining loans; transfer shop rights to me, open in my building... Work part-time making outfits when free.
Call it part-time, but shop runs on her designs—give her most profits. She just pops in for my tastes.
Win-win: I gain another biz; she keeps shop and obeys hubby.
Cash'll vanish post-loans, but bar and adult shop plus future adventuring? Fine. Worst case, small losses okay... Right?
“...Really. You like my clothes that much?”
“Best ever. Can't imagine Lizbet without 'em now.”
Klea's busy and mulling, said she'd decide post-move.
...She mad I added women? This sis?
“...Hehe. Really... Can't help it.”
“Wha—yes!?”
I hyped her up; she nodded with a shy smile.
“Hubby said okay on those terms. Felt bad refusing a divine beast fan's offer.”
“Kiyaaahouuu!!!”
Yes! With such a sweet deal! Gotta say yes!
Worth keeping first floor empty! No tenants yet, but need Lianna there!
Exclusive designer for me and my females acquired! Too good!
“Sis, move all these half-done clothes now... Wait, first floor setup...”
“Whoa, calm down. Shop lease has time left. Just halt sales listings, pack as-is for there.”
“R-right... So, what first...”
Ahem... Arigato, Lianna-sensei. Hubby. Looking forward to it.
Super pumped, I thanked 'em inwardly and discussed move dates.
“Puhihiiing~ King of horses, they say~ I'm the Horse King [Maou]~”
Ha. Feels like real royalty. Why's everything going so right?
Landlord now, penthouse pad, three businesses? Females ditched lovers for me. Loyal staff somehow. Spent most cash, but tenants and sales'll refill fast.
King of horses. Horse King [Maou]. Fits.
Yeah. I'm Essentia landlord and Horse King Jeong Sema. Come at me~ Heroes~ Kehkeh...
Landlords are kings anyway. What's a king got? Adventure lightly, flower path ahead...
“Master! Master!!”
“Big trouble! Master!”
As home came into view, Lizbet and Klea spotted me and rushed over, faces baffled.
Big trouble?
“What? What's up?”
“L-look at this! Master!”
Lizbet, tits bouncing as she ran, shoved papers at me.
Why so panicked? Peering at the sheets...
From the Lord's Castle:
Your building has been identified as illegally occupied property.
Seizure proceedings will commence immediately.
Vacate premises and comply.
...Illegal occupation building seizure notice...?
An unbelievable notice from the Lord's Castle was printed there.
