New Portents Arrive for the Beast! (2)
“Allow me to greet you properly. Oppa... no, Master♡ My loyal fourth yinshuu, Cecilia Laidir Neve♡”
A bit past lunchtime, during our belated but cozy family meal at Maou Castle. Before the food was even set on the table, my newest yinshuu pressed her lips to my horse cock in introduction. The horse bit choker dangling from her neck—proof that she was my mare. The lewd tattoo etched into her body to please me. Her reborn, slutty beast face, brimming with joy, filled me with satisfaction.
Yeah. Yesterday's events? I'd figure those out slowly enough. For now, it was time to welcome my new yinshuu, Cecilia.
“Good. Cecilia. From now on, you're my lewd yinshuu, serving me alone. Love only me. Obey only me.”
“Yes♡ O... Master♡ Cecilia's body and soul belong to you and you alone♡”
“Puhuhu. Just call me whatever feels natural, Cecilia. You're my mare now. Go with what your heart says.”
“Ahaha♡ Thanks, oppa♡”
Was it because Cecilia was the baby of my yinshuu? Or maybe I just wanted to hear her call me oppa? She'd basically become my lover now, but damn if she didn't feel like a little sister. It gave the whole thing a fresh thrill. My little-sister-like mare... puhuhu. Not bad at all.
“I'll do anything for you from now on, oppa♡ If there's some human you want taken care of, just tell me♡ I'll make them experience hell before I kill them♡”
But this little sister was kinda scary. Licking her lips like she could hardly wait as she talked about killing? Looked like her sadistic side came out around any human but me. Must be that Torture Addict skill... Yeah, she'd make a fine queen someday.
“Puhuhu. Cecilia, your skills look pretty vicious too. Planning to use those?”
“Yeah♡ The skill you gave me? With that alone, I can torment worthless male humans all I want♡ If there's any torture that needs doing, leave it to me♡”
...I probably wouldn't have much need for torturing people, Cecilia?
“Come on now, Cecilia. Take a seat. Let's talk about our plans over lunch.”
“Okay! Mom!”
As Seres brought out the food, Cecilia—who'd been nuzzling my horse cock from below—returned to her spot. To welcome her daughter, Seres had prepared the meal herself with help from the livestock. It wasn't heavy since it was the first meal of the day, but the dishes were impressively fancy, laid out on my family table. Food made by my own yinshuu? I was so thrilled my body trembled.
“First things first—after we eat, let's get Cecilia's guild mark tattooed. We need to start there♡”
“We should get Cecilia some clothes to Master’s taste too. When's Lianna's next shift?”
“The shops will handle themselves once we open... Oh, right. We need to move Cecilia's stuff from the Lord's Castle too♡”
Over our late lunch, my yinshuu chattered happily about the schedule ahead. Hmm... yeah. There was still a ton to do. I'd thought getting Cecilia meant nothing but fun from here on out, but nope—a bunch of tasks left.
“Now that we have livestock to handle the home stuff, we can focus on adventurer work, right?”
“Exactly, Liz. Once we tidy up quick, we should dive right back in. The church has been side-eyeing us, wondering if we're really doing proper adventurer activities anyway.”
“I wonder how far those useless humans have tracked the Hero Eater? It should still be nearby...”
“Hmm... we'll need some humans useful for adventurer gigs too, sisters. Time to prep that side as well?”
Eh? Adventurer work? Did we really need to bother with that risky stuff now?
Thanks to my obedient livestock following orders, I had several shops in my name already. Sure, they only skimmed pocket change individually, but combined? That alone was enough to live luxuriously. Of course, building enough power to protect myself was smart, but casually heading out now and then like a stroll seemed fine...
“Um, my yinshuu? Can't we take adventurer work slow?”
“Oh? No way, Master♡”
“We have to prepare for the unknown apocalypse♡”
“We want to be with Master forever♡”
“Gotta get way stronger quick, oppa♡ So no one can ever defy you♡”
...Huh? I'd figured my harem-loving yinshuu would just say to hunt more mares and call it a day. But they all seemed dead serious about adventurer work. Why?
Hmm... no idea... My yinshuu still eyed me like they expected something more... Whatever. Essentia had heavy hitters like Hero Knights, so getting stronger wasn't a bad idea. I'd been slacking on swinging my horse cock lately anyway—felt a bit stale. After months of nonstop fucking, jumping back into adventurer mode sounded fun.
Hmm. “Alright... if that's what you all think, maybe we dive back into adventurer life? Then, for a while, no new mares...”
“Ahaha♡ That's separate, Master♡”
No way. Lizbet, answering without a second thought?
“Lianna for sure, right? Can't pass up talent like that♡”
“She knows Master well... and her looks are top-notch, so she'd fit right in...♡”
“If Mom and sisters vouch for her, she's gotta be prime mare material♡ Then, while I'm getting fitted for clothes, we can kick things off...”
Hold up. What was that? Lianna?
“Master, what do you think? Lianna's perfect to accept as your mare now, right?”
No... I mean. Lianna? She wasn't some hero's girl, and I kinda liked her too much to just livestock her. If not livestock, then yinshuu material... but still, upending the peaceful life of a woman I actually liked—when it wasn't even about averting doom—felt a bit...
Of course, as a mare, she'd be happiest as mine. But something held me back. Back when I first arrived in Essentia, the two who treated me best: Lianna and Sera from the Guild Management Office. Even my first yinshuu Lizbet had rejected me then—they'd been the only ones without prejudice. Touching them felt a tad...
“Umm... Lianna's not even a hero's lover...”
“So what, Master♡ We've already turned tons into livestock♡”
...True?
“No, Lianna's... more than livestock. She's a mare I'm grateful to...”
“Then doesn't that mean we have to make her Master's mare? Show her a female's true happiness♡”
...Yeah, it does.
“But I worry if it's okay to just... take her like that...”
“Oh? You've already claimed the lord's family mother-daughter duo from Radia. What’s there to worry about?”
...Right?
“...Lianna as a new yinshuu... Hmm...”
“Just go for it♡ Oppa♡ What's there to fret? All mares are meant to serve you♡”
Yeah. Exactly. All mares were naturally meant to submit to me. Mages, saintesses, highborn noble mother-daughter pairs. Countless women I'd never even met before. After claiming all those, nitpicking over heroes or whatever now was pointless, right?
Listening to my yinshuu, I couldn't fathom why I'd even hesitated. Becoming my stallion's mare—what did it matter if her husband was some normie nobody? Hell, if he was a worthless civilian, he should thank me for stealing his wife and making her happy.
“A fine mare like Lianna belongs at Master's side—not anyone else's♡”
“Yeah... right. A prime mare like Lianna belongs as my yinshuu.”
“No need to overthink♡ Master just takes whatever mare he wants♡”
“Yeah... everything I want, I claim...”
“If any issues pop up, our power and influence can smooth it over♡ No worries at all♡”
“Mmm... with my yinshuu, nothing's a problem...”
“If that so-called husband gets pissy, I'll handle him♡ Just unleash your desires freely, oppa♡”
“Puhuhu... yeah. Reliable as ever, Cecilia.”
Perfect. That's my yinshuu. My head felt refreshingly clear all of a sudden. Leaving a mare like Lianna alone? What kind of idiot thought was that? Of course I had to make her mine... keep her by my side.
I'd been pretending to care and kept her waiting too long. And not just Lianna—Sera too... No, can't do that. Won't. Yeah, like my yinshuu said: build power, and who could say shit? What? Her husband's a normie? Puhuhu... I'd actually fretted over that?
...Lianna first. Just wait a bit longer, Lianna. Soon as I wrap urgent stuff, I'll give you a mare's true bliss. Shine with your talents by my side, happy as my devoted female.
Yeah. The happy mares serving me, their Maou King.
“...Alright. Then we'll kick off adventurer work—and take Lianna as my new yinshuu. Got it, everyone?”
“Yes♡ Master♡”
They gazed at me with joyful eyes, answering without hesitation. Seeing that wicked glint on their faces, I felt my own twist into the same evil grin.
