Hey guys, we had just finished dressing up and were boarding the carriage to go meet the lapsionan king.

Let me know when you are here
>>
>>43739048
Miellewds-guy here.

I hope we get to level Miel and Portia, as well as the Harpies soon.

So, the harpies, Tanis, Atruma, and Fahima are part of our Menagerie; doesn't that mean that we can bring them along in our dungeon runs beyond the 6-man party limit?
Since they're technically our pets, won't they get XP without further dividing gained XP from defeating monsters?

>>43739132
yes but only one at a time
>>
>>43739180
So we can only have one pet actively getting XP at a time/in combat?

So, if Eldric is in a party of 6 and the party as a whole earned 6000XP (assuming everyone is of the same level and the XP penalty doesn't take effect), and Eldric's split is 1000XP in a given dungeon run, then we can:
1. Have Nina earn 1000XP
2. Have Nina and Rose earn 500XP each
3. Have Nina, Rose, and Atruma earn 333XP each

Is this about right?
>>
Late but here, in other news I am coming out as a lewd-Zoe guy, Hikaru Genji plan ho!
>>
>>43739326
>1. Have Nina earn 1000XP
Sure, the pet that is outside would have the same exp as you
>2. Have Nina and Rose earn 500XP each
how? you cant have both of them out in the same nanosecond when you kill the monster and it gives you exp
>3. Have Nina, Rose, and Atruma earn 333XP each
See above

>>43739358
>lewd-Zoe guy
Honestly I always thought the kitty and puppy would eventually join the harem but not for a while. Although Zoe does love Eldric already, she doesn't know its different from, you know, brotherly love.

>Hikaru Genji plan ho!
what? seriously, what does that mean?

Alright, should we start or wait for 1 more person?

*If you don't mind starting with just the people who are here.

>A story where (usually) a man scores with a woman because the man raised the woman when she was a child. She looked up to the man, thought of him as a father figure or beloved uncle, a guardian, counted on him to be there when she needed him, etc. In the more extreme cases, she might have even vowed to marry him when she came of age.

>Then, when She Is All Grown Up, the girl decides she is in love with the man, or vice versa.
>>
>>43739443
You can have the total XP earned from the run(1000XP) divided by having one pet active for part of the dungeon, then the other pet active for the rest of the dungeon.
Same with 3 pets.

I'm not talking about 1000XP from a single monster but from the dungeon run as a whole, and only using 1000 as an example and easily divisible number.

"Alright Zoe, you are going to be in charge, alright?"
"Yes" -she says softly while we pet her ears as she sways her tailtip back and forth behind her, enjoying the gentle petting
"Please try to teach Portia, Nina, and Rose, alright? just some very basic math would be alright for now. And try to teach them some ABCs as well, alright? you don't have to teach them everything right now, but it would be nice if they knew how to read and write before the new school year starts"
"Yes, brother dear" -she purrs as we continue petting her ears
"You may want to use some ingredients from the kitchen to bake cookies so you can give them a "school lunch"
"I... I can cook a proper lunch" -she says softly as she looks at us with her head slightly bowed
"I know, but something like cookies or cake would make it more fun for them, right?"
"Yes, alright"

We think about it for a bit

"Actually, it is probably better if they have a proper lunch first, and you try to play school with them later."

Zoe nods nods

"We'll be back as soon as possible, hopefully before sunset. If you were a good girl, we can all go to the pool later."
"Alright"

Stella looks at us with envious eyes

"Brother, brother, I can teach stuff, too!" -she says, wanting to be petted
"Punching things is not a school subject"
"...I can math and letters too! I am 10th on my class, you know!?"

Ah, right. She's actually not dumb at all, just much more oriented towards physical activities than academic achievements.

"Alright, if you do a good job together with Zoe, I'll trust you more, alright?"
"Alright!" -she wags her tail happily

With that, we tell the pet girls to be good and do as Zoe and Stella tell them to. But mostly as Zoe tells them to, and leave with everyone else.

As before, the carriage is quite big, albeit this time they added proper seats.

Mom is a former teacher, she's been giving lessons to Atroma. Tanis... I honestly dont know. Fahima.. probably not

With all the extra space, it feels very luxurious inside the carriage. Like a limousine, maybe?

The carriage takes us into the castle, which is not so much a building as a monumental granite carving around which the city has grown.

Even now, we can see some workers carving out new rooms... well, they're spiders, so working while standing on the sides of a cliff or upside down doesn't seem to bother them.

The palace guards are wearing chest plates with large round shields and shortspears. All of them also have a long sword strapped to their backs.

As usual, pretty much everyone else is wearing mostly jewelry, while keeping their legs almost completely covered with colorful sleeves.

Once our carriage stops at the palace's entrance, we descend between two lines of guards and are escorted inside.

The building hallways are quite tall, with the walls eventually coming together to form a sharp roof over our heads. The floor is covered in blue plates of rock, and looks brand new.

As we approach the throne room, we stand before a set of tall, double doors carved out of the same rock as the palace itself. It looks as if they would be nearly impossible to move without dozens of people working on it, but the guard at the front of each of the lines escorting us moves ahead and effortlessly pushes a door open for us.

uhmm i wonder if theres a problem with my windows

You know, I actually like this girl a lot as Stella, going just from the pic. Pity she's not a puppy girl but a kitty

>>43740220

Mako takes our hand... well, she's always a little nervous when it comes to meeting new people.

The goods we brought as a sample are lying on both sides of the throne hall, with plenty of courtiers and officers lurking around them, either examining them or just appreciating them.

These goods come from the empire, sbastia, eopolis, albion and the dwarven kingdom of opal, so they are quite diverse indeed.

The court ladies... most of them are practically indistinguishable from attractive young men... that is to say, Lapsiona really seems to be the flat chest capital of the world. If it wasn't because they are a lot more humanoid than the males, we would honestly think they are just skinny guys with pretty faces. But it is probably a good idea to never mention it.

Besides, it is almost certain that it is because of their diet, anyway. Insct meat is apparently highly nutritious, but very, very low in fat.

Its to the point that even with out old world's sensitivities, we have no problem whatsoever seeing three dozen or more topless girls... its a little sad.

*cough* Ayway...

The throne is shaped more like a bench than a chair, since the spiderkin bodies tend to lay down rather than sit. Of course, it is lavish in its own way. Looking like an enormous, single gem that has been delicate carved all over its surface, it is probably priceless.

On the other hand, it is innately useless, isn't it? Well, it looks nice, all the same.

The king is an old man. He is wearing belts of woven gold rather than simple jewelry, and his head is adorned with gold rins around his mandibles and a bejeweled crown of delicate and light appearance adorns his head.

Next to him, but on a lower step next to the room... those would be his wife, son and daugther? probably

"When we heard that the future king of Heven had come in person to greet us, we were quite intrigued- The news that have arrived ahead of you, however, are dire. Strange creatures wiped out out border settlements, and then attacked yours, did they not?" -the king, Tepidario III, greets us thus as he gestures for us to stand.

Honestly, the only ones that kneeled were Lyann, Alard, and Dawn. Are we lacking in manners?

No, I mean, Honoria, Okaba and Asmund all have their own status to think about. It goes without saying, but this whole realm is about the size of a province as far as the heavenly empire is converned, and we... yeah okay maybe -we- should have knelt.

Incidentally, Fahima simply bowed... well, I guess she physically can't kneel, but she is technically a princess as well, right? lets not mention that since she is part of our menagerie, she is technically also a pet... yeah, let's not

I think our family sees it as more of a Noblesse Oblige thing, in a perfectly serious and non ironical way. They really feel it is their obligation to help the people.

Okaba explains that the [ERROR]s devastated the population, spiriting them away in order to replace them with mindless drones.

However, when he mentions that Heven has already begun repopulating the mining town, the court's mood goes sour.

Well, it is a territory that has been the cause of war between their nations for many generations, hasn't it?

Well, in the end, Tepidario the 3rd ends up pushing for a deal to have twin cities instead of a single large mining town.

Okaba says that he will need time to think about it, and the king seems to understand. After all, Okaba's position is not absolute in his country. He probably has his own political situation to think about.

As for the matter of Lapsiona joining the coalition...

>>43742012
The southern empire (Algonquin, I think?) should be our next target. Working with the Celestial Empire, we should be able to reassert Imperial control over the colonials. Using our position of Duke and governor of the capital, we should be able to force them to comply to our demands. Worst case, we ask Ren to make us military governor of the colonies and we make them comply with Peacekeeper divisions stationed there.

Honoria presents the idea of the Coalition in a clear and purely commercial way to the king. It is in everyone's interest to, using the newly discivered rocklitship technology, improve trade routes and the flow of goods across all of our lands, rising the standard of living for everyone across the new trade coalition.

Also, once we are engaged in trade, it will present all the member countries with a international platform to present grievances and solve arguments in a peaceful manner through international consensus, rather than having no other resource but war.

If they join quickly, they will officially do so before Heven, giving them the honor of seniority and that much stronger a seat within the coalition's council.

The court listens on, and some murmurs of approval and dissent emerge from the room, including the uses of some of the more obscure goods.

For this, Honoria asks us to explain the bicarbonate of sodium, and when we begin listing its uses, the looks of the court gom from amazement to disbelief.

Well, it cant be helped, it is a stupidly useful substance after all. It really is hard to believe in how many ways it can be used, even for the average person of our home world.

In the end, the king Tepidario the 3rd says that it will take him about a week to decide on the matter, and that we are his royal guests in the meanwhile, with the right to go anywhere in the capital, as long as we are escorted by a honor guard.

He lifts a hand, to signal that he is still thinking while keeping silence for a while, and finally instructs one of his knights to present us with 4 folds of High Silk in payment for our goods.

Some of the nobles seem to disagree, and wome seem impressed by this.

Okaba bows slightly, showing how impressive the gift is, and thanks Tepidario the 3rd for his graceful show of good will.

With that, the audience is ended, and as we retire, one of the high ranking knights, a male with a very thin and delicate looking gold chain wrapped around his left fang, guides us into the palace depths and to the treasury.

"This one is Henzi Alphonol" -he introduces himself- "These are dark yet wonderful times. If I had known all it would take to begin peace negotiations between our people was the threat of a dire and horrible common foe, I would have challenged the barbarian gods on behalf of our peoples."

The knight speaks seriously while bowing. Come think of it, it would be really hard to kneel with a spider's lower body. This is probably as serious a show of respect as the spiderkin can provide while keeping some grace,

"Thank you for your words, sir Alphonol. Let us hope that this day be remembered fondly by future generations." -says Okaba
"...yes!" -he says, then lifts his torso- "It would be this one's honor if you agreed to call him by his given name, and agreed to a dinner at his residence in five days."

Okaba looks at our group, and we all look at eachother. There's no reason to say no.

"On behalf of my friends, please allow me to accept, sir Henzi." -says Asmund

With that, the knight goes into the treasury and comes back with four rolls of [High Silk] under his arms.

Let's see... Opal Kingdom, Heavenly Empire, Free City of Sbastia, Yellowleaves Forest, Free City of Eopolis, and Magocratic realm of Albion.

Now do we split 4 rolls among 6 realms?

"I believe that would be hard to do" -says Honoria
"Why?"
"The price of any valuable item should be left to the market to decide through offer and demand. Trying to arbitrarily assigning a price would appear as if we are trying to cheat them into accepting a lower price"
"I see... Still, I would like to at least be able to see if it has any special properties, and what they are."
"I think it would be fine if you count Sbastia's share as part of this effort" -says Asmund- "I too am curious as to its properties beyond simply getting a cloak out of it."
"I'm sorry, but going back home with a roll of [High Silk] would be a meaningful achievement, so I can't say the same, no matter how much I'd like to" -says Okaba
"You can use my share however you wish, Master!" -says Fahima.

...honestly, we had not even considered giving her a share until she spoke. It may be... no, it is definitively mean from us, but it completely slipped our mind since she is a "pet" and technically our property.

Wait, does that mean we actually DO think of her as a slave? no.. no, I think that's not it. Pókemon, I choose you! ...to blame for this mind set, that is.

"Of course, if the president wants to use his share in the lab, I will do so as well."

There really is no need to say who said that. It was a cute, pointy eared elven beauty with a obediant attitude.

That means we have our share, Asmund's, Aritsu and Fahima's to work with. That should certainly at least make a whole roll.

Okaba wants to take a roll home, as does Honoria, though for different reasons.

Okaba just wants the prestige of it... well, his position isn't 100% set in stone yet, and making sure he becomes the next king of Heven is in everyone's interests, so it can't be helped. We know him well enough to know he is not the greedy type.

Honoria... she wants her dwarven artisans to study the [High Silk] and decide its worth by themselves.

Its not a bad idea, and it is understandable.

That leaves a [High Silk] roll for Mako?

Somehow, she is going to end with a whole roll without having said anything. Well, if she wanted our share, we would say "yes" with a smile.

"Ah! w-why are you all looking at me!" -she blurts out as she blushes when she notices everyone is indeed looking at her

She is holding the roll with both hands.

She has no [Item Box] after all.

Cute, she looks too cute! So cute it's unfair.

That cuteness, it is a dangerous weapon. If she was to ask for help, 99% of anyone she asked would say "yes" before knowing what it is for.

"Well, it's fine" -everyone says so softly
"What is?" -she is a little confused

We give her a little kiss on the forehead. Just a little one.

She goes even brighter red.

With that, we head back to the ship.

Uhmm... it's not too late in the eening. Let's see how the girls did without us, and take Zoe to the bath house pool like we promised to.

Rather than it being "Let's see how they did, and take the ones that behaved to the pool" it is already assumed that Zoe was a good girl and will be given a reward, right? yes, no matter how we look at it, Zoe is a good, mature child.

So, let's take Zoe to the pool, along with those who behaved properly today.

"We are back"
"Welcome back, kid" -says Tanis from the bed as she lies down on her side with a plate of cookies
"Brother, welcome back!" -Stella happily comes over, wagging her tail
"Welcome back, Master!" -the harpies sing together
"W-welcome back" -why is Atroma under the bed? is she falling back into her hikkikomori ways?
"Welcome back, brother dear" -Zoe is wearing a l open black robe over a shirt and short skirt

Indeed, she looks like a teacher. She is disguised as a teacher from Albion... no, she's dressed in an imitation of mom's teaching clothes.

She looks cute. She looks sexy... no, she looks like a child dressing up like her mom. She looks cute.

Ah, Miel, Miel II and several other honey faeries are also sitting in place. I guess they wanted to play school too. I see. Right, they were good girls today too.

"Brother, let's go play in the pool now!" -says Stella as she clings from our left arm
"Uhmm were you a good girl?"
"Yes! Stella was a very good girl!" -she says

We look towards Zoe, and she nods
Oh, so she was a good girl while we were gone. I guess we should acknowledge that, then

"Good work, good girl" -we say as we pat her head gently
"Yaa-y! praise me more!"
"Yes, yes. You were a good girl"

"Pool?"
"Pool!"
"Pool?"
"Pool, now?"

The harpies ask, cry and whisper from where they are.

Well, they're petite and unusually light, to the point where each of them is at most 30 or so kilos at most... well, they seem to fly through completely natural means rather than using magic like Asmund does, or a mix of magic and nature like Okaba and Aura do...

Wait, does that make them into something like an hybrid car? somehow, it feels like a rude thought. Let's forget about it.

"Alright, alright, everyone change into your swimsuits now. We'll go in a few minutes" -says Lyann while clapping her hands to make herself heard

I really like this pic you know? it feels IC considering what we make her wear, and honestly it seems like something a beautiful heroine would wear in an old JRPG. Im looking at you, Dragon Quest! (Manya (Maya) or Minea (Meena) I think? I cant remember which one's the dancer)

I'd prefer Miel, but as much as I'd like to bully her by taking her clothes off in a private bath and treating her like a doll, maybe waiting until she's human size would be better to start doing that kind of intimate bullying.
Until then, we have a dragon to tame. Gotta show her we're the boss in this relationship. It'll be her experience against our superior ability scores.

After much delivery, X is how likely Eldric is to wake up and finding her riding him cowgirl style, while Y is how obedient she is towards him.

>>43745744
You need to add Miel, Atruma, and Nina to that list.

Also, we must push Tanis further on the Y axis.
>>
>>43745744
>delivery
wrong word... sounds similar but means consideration or thinking about it. Can't really put my finger on it...

Anyway, I feel Mako actually should be closer to Zoe. Pretty much the same love for him, with the difference Eldric has taken that initial step with Mako and hasn't even considered it with Zoe.

>>43745785
>Have the Honey Fairies come along?
Sure.

Wouldnt it make better sense to build a private hot spring in our island?

Anyway, I think that if it wasnt because of the obvious strenght difference, Tanis would have already tried to rape Eldric.

What were we talking about... ah right, so, Fahima, you want their relationship meter to be where?
Equals ----o---- Sex Toy

Right now it is leaning slightly more towards the right, I guess?

And how towards her want of sex
Timid ----o----- Slutty

And finally
Straight ----o---- Bisexual

Yeah I think those sliders work better than that pic, really. Much faster to modify. Suggestions for more sliders are welcome, but honestly you should know Im always open to suggestions. (Seriously guys, suggest stuff alright?)

Equals ----o---- Sex Toy
Passive ----o----- Slutty
Straight ----o---- Bisexual

Think of it like this, do you want the girls to be able to pleasure each other? in the future, do you want to be able to order one to eat out the other, or do you want her to do it on her own initiative? if so, during a moment of lust with us, or sometimes when they are alone? stuff like that.
>>
>>43745844
Whoops, my mistake, you did have Atruma there.
So Miel and Nina.
No Stella? Or Ms Yin?
We haven't touched our assistant's fluffy tail in a while.

>>43745844

I've never been able to see Tanis's allure. I always vote for just handing her off to someone else and riding our hands of her.
>>
>>43746008
>Equals ------o-- Sex Toy
>Passive -----o---- Slutty
>Straight -----o--- Bisexual

I think it should be
>passive -- aggressive
To indicate how they pursue sex and
>modest -- slutty
To indicate how they portray their sexuality among others.

So, a girl may dress very modestly, but may bother Eldric for sex whenever he's free, for an aggressive yet modest type.
Tanis, of course, is aggressive and slutty.
I don't think we have a slutty yet passive type, though.
>>
>>43746013
Honestly, I ran out of colors I could tell apart with ease

Suggestions for more sliders? I think we should for the immediate future, just separate the girls in two groups. Those we have been intimate with, and those we haven't, then we can make sliders for the girls we are intimate with.

We haven't been intimate with any of the harpies, Stella, Zoe, Miel (either), Tanis, Ani or Mai

We are already intimate with Aritsu, Atroma, Fahima, Lyann, Mako and Ren (and her shadows)

So lets see... each value goes from 0 to 8
Aritsu 6 2 2
Atroma 1 2 1
Fahima 5 2 1
Lyann 6 5 2
Mako 1 1 1
Ren 1 4 2

I think that's rather accurate? Aritsu and Lyann have been with eachother when Eldric wants them to, but not on their own initiative. They aren't really attracted to each other, either, while Ren has played around with her shadows, for example, but nothing beyond first base.

>>43746084
I think is the experimented kinky girl factor. She is likely to do a lot of stuff the other girls wouldnt dream about. Except Lyann since she's seen a lot of stuff but seriously doesn't wants Eldric to think she's a slut. Lyann will probably go along with anything AS LONG AS HE INITIATES IT but never actually suggest things because she is so worried about his opinion of her.
>>
>>43746084
I like her because she's straightforward with what she wants, but isn't abrasive about it. She's not a pushover, and I think it's good for Eldric to have someone like that with him.
As a lover, she's very experienced and can give Eldric a thorough education.
>>
>>43746175
>I think it should be
>passive -- aggressive
>modest -- slutty

You are definitively right, i think. Funny enough, I think Stella would be the most agressive of all the girls since shes constantly trying to get him to show affection to her, yet has zero sex drive. She just genuinely likes to hog his time/affection, you know?

Lets try again
Equals -----0----- Sex Toy
Passive -----0----- Agressive
Modesty -----0----- Slutty
Straight -----0----- Bi

Also changed the bars from 1-8 to 1-10

So for example, Lyann
>Equals ---0------ Sex Toy
This is how their current relationship is like rather than how he or she'd want it to be. I get the feeling Eldric wants her to be his equal while Lyann wants him to be more possessive of her

>Passive --------0-- Agressive
She really likes to kiss him and rub against him in bed. Sleeps naked in bed with him, etc

>Modesty 0---------- Slutty
She is, however, NOT willing to suggest stuff, at all.

>Straight ---0------- Bi
She is "okay" with it because he seemed to like seeing her with Aritsu, but doesn't really has any interrest, sexually or emotionally, on any of the other girls.

So, given that, how do you WANT Eldric and Fahima's relationship to be like? I moved all the sliders to the middle so you can just copy/paste and move them around.

Equals -----0----- Sex Toy
Passive -----0----- Agressive
Modesty -----0----- Slutty
Straight -----0----- Bi

Also this has to be the most shameful yet hilarious thing I've done in /tg/

Demanding! that's the word! she's like him to be more demanding and/or kinky but at the same time does not want to "corrupt him". If he wants her to do something, I cant visualize her saying no at all.
>>
>>43746482

Alright so if im reading this right.
You want Fahima to be very submissive and basically ready to go or stop at a moment's notice while enjoying to do so on his say so. To make a open display of it, and to act in the same way towards the other girls around Eldric?

So pretty much like Tanis without the attitude, I guess?

The other(s) anon(s) agree ot want something different?

>>43746616
Alright, just remember to TELL ME if you like or dislike anything, alright? and please suggest stuff. Come think of it, since her people have a tradition of body decorations, do you want to ttattoo her? piercings? I think Luis Royo has a wonderful collection of works on that subject. Nipple rings? maybe a thin chain groing from a nipple ring, behind her back, and around to the other nipple ring, or to a bracelet. Google "Magi Paimon" images for reference.

>>43746692

Yeah but we were talking about Fahima, the salamander. Atroma is the dragon

>>
>>43746756
>Yeah but we were talking about Fahima, the salamander. Atroma is the dragon
I was referring back to the numbers you had for Atruma.

As for piercings and tattoos, I'm personally not a big fan, but considering Fahima's cultural roots, maybe she should have some.
But wait, she's a salamander; does she shed her scales?
And because of the scales and the fact they're normally on fire, tattoos don't seem like they would work, or more fragile jewelry that uses metal that gets soft easily.
Maybe things like torques, brass collars and armbands with lots of gems that can handle the flames of their bodies.

>As for piercings and tattoos, I'm personally not a big fan, but considering Fahima's cultural roots, maybe she should have some.
Check our Luis Royo's art. I like it when he uses tattoos that are just barely a shade of difference in color from the girl's color. I think the resulting effect is both eye catching yet very, very elegant and I dare say classy. Not all of it, just when he does that... let me see if I can find a example...

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/db/e3/22/dbe3221b9777f326e38b65eebc7d9b5f.jpg

>But wait, she's a salamander; does she shed her scales?
From the waist down, sure, you mean, because tattoos on her wouldnt last? I was thinking from the waist up, though.

>And because of the scales and the fact they're normally on fire, tattoos don't seem like they would work, or more fragile jewelry that uses metal that gets soft easily.
Since she is working as an ambassador, we gave her a collar that supresses her flaming aura. It would be just extremely annoying to have a salamander in flames 24/7 around us. She couldnt go into the ship (wood remember), take baths, have physical contact with non salamanders. etc etc

>Maybe things like torques, brass collars and armbands with lots of gems that can handle the flames of their bodies.
That's normally what they use, yes. Since her collar turns off her flame aura, though, she has more options

>>43746861
Ah alright.

Anyway, now im gonna try typing. If you guys dont like something let me know and Ill copy it, edit it, erase the post and report it changed alright?

We [Treestride] over to the orcs capital once more, and head towards the bath house we normally use. It has a few customers right now, but it cant be helped since we came unnanounced, so we simply rent it for the rest of the day and wait until the current clients are done with their business inside.

As we go in, the harpies basically run, fly and hope towards the pool so we need to chide them to get them to wash properly before using the big bath.

"Ah, is master going to wash us himself?" -says Tanis with a smirk as she easily and shamelessly takes her robe off, making as much of a show as she can of it.
"You are a grown up, right? you can do it yourself."
"That's no fun." -she says

"Lyann, Aritsu, please help Zoe to take care of the children, alright?"
"Of course"
"Yes, president."

"What about me? what do I do?" -asks Stella.

She's already completely naked as she walks over towards us, wagging her tail and almost bouncing in place, lifting herself to her toes to show how excited she is about coming "to the pool".

We pat her head gently.

"Take a seat and I'll help you wash, alright?"
"Yes!" -she says happily- "..waait a second. Brother is treating me like a child, aren't you!?"
"You don't want me to wash you?"
"Want!" -she says, shaking her head from side to side as she goes to a bench and sits down, waiting for us, wagging her tail

"Alright, good girl."

The orcs have shampoo... its of course no the same quality as what we were used in our previous world, but it is miles above the oils we have come up with ourselves.

We make a mental note to buy several bottles of it.

Stella basically sings out of happiness as her beloved older brother pours warm water on her head, and starts rubbing her hair clean with the shampoo.

"Close your eyes"
"Alright"
"You are spraying water everywhere, don't wag your tail."
"I'll try?"

It's still wagging, just slowlier than before.

Well, Stella is a very honest girl, so it can't be helped.

"La la la~" -Stella sings softly as we wash her hair and carefully rub her ears clean.

She raises her arms.
Does she want us to scrub them clean, too?
...we are really spoiling her. I guess we don't have a right to whine about it when she acts like a child later.

"Open your hands"
"Yes!"

We carefully wash her hands. rubbing each finger clean, then make it down her arms to her shoulders and continue down her shoulders and all the way to her tummy.

She's quite busty... honestly, we are already washing her tummy when we realize we washed her large, soft breasts without a single thought about it during the fact.

We really think of her as family, in the purest way possible, uh? it's a little touching. She, too, seems to think of us as her close family.

We give her a kiss on top of her head

"Yaaay~" -she smiles, happy about getting a kiss.

She stretches her legs before her and lightly swings them up and down while holding the bench with both hands now.

We use shampoo to wash her fluffy tail.
She makes some funny sounds and shivers a little bit.

"Does it hurt?"
"It tickles"
"You are a big girl, right? just endure it."
"Kaaay~"

We gently rub her fluffy tail along its lenght while she covers her mouth with both hands, going bright red as she tries not to laugh(?)

Uhmm... her small nipples perked have perked up. Was it too stimulating for her?

"Get up to your knees"
"Okay"

We clean the rest of her without a single lewd thought.
She is covering her mouth with both hands the whole time.

Is it that ticklish? if that's all the reaction she gives, she really is just a cute child still, isn't she?

We rinse her off, and she's done. More or less at the same time, the first few harpies are done as well.

"Zoe, come here, I'll wash you"
"...I want big sister Lyann to do it."

...is she going into a rebellious face? though I can't possibly picture a rebellious Zoe.

>>43747589

We keep going with Nina. Her feathers are really hard to wash. You can't go against the grain at all, or they would be ruined for flying, so you have to very carefully rinse and wash in the direction they grow.

Her hair is literally raven black, as are her feathers, but her skin is milky white. It looks fairmly alluring and sexy, but in case you have never noticed, truly deep black gets dirty with GREATER ease than pure white.

Well, any surface and any color would get dirty with the same ease, but when it is pure black, you can tell INSTANTLY when there is a speck of dust on it. White, on the other hand, would let a soft layer of dust or sand pass unnoticed, but not so with black.

...this is pretty hard, actually.

Oh, she's chirping. She really likes this, uh? honestly, their levels aren't that high at all. In average, they are about level 12. I guess that is big enough to pick things and fly away with them, yet remain childlish enough to innately trust anyone who is a little nice with them.

I wonder if we should level them up a little to help them develop so they are harder to cheat and trick, or let them enjoy whatever is left of their childhood.

Right now, they are rather skinny... well, thinking about it, I seriously doubt that halfling was taking anywhere near good care of them. Well, now they are receiving proper food, so they should develop nicely if they were to be leveled up.

Something like Portia, maybe?

Honestly, I can't imagine it. I mean, these girls fly with regular natural world mechanics, right? how would they do that if they were taller and curvy?

Well, maybe I should level up a couple of them so they can be better at taking care of the others, as well as trusting them with important tasks from time to time.

Nina seems to be the smartest, while Rose is the most reponsible one, so it should be obvious that it should be them, right?

"Alright, you can go play now"
"Ye~es"

Nina walks off somewhat stiffly towards the pool. Is she playing or should have we rinsed her more carefully... no, I think it's fine. Yes, she's just playing.

Looking to the side, it looks like pretty much everyone else is done as well.

...I think we've earned some fun times of our own, haven't we?

Yes, we have been working hard.

Ah, Fahima is looking towards us with such a fun expression. It looks like she doesn't knows what to do with herself.

Well, her people doesn't have such thing as a nudity taboo, right? I think that otherwise, she would at least try and cover her breasts... this line of thought it flipping my switch... plus, I really should give proper "training" to my pets, right?

Yes, it's just the responsible thing to do.
You have to take care of, and properly train your pets.
Even when they are pet girls.
Specially when they are cute pet girls.

>>43747839
>enjoy whatever is left of their childhood.
With Stella and Zoe, I think we've seen that even if a beastkin undergoes accelerated growth and has their Int/Wis leveled up, they're still very capable of staying as kids.
Even with increased Int and Wis, it's not like they act too much like the young adults their bodies would imply.

Whether they have an enjoyable childhood or not seems more dependent on how they're treated and whether they're forced to become more mature, rather than if their physical development gets accelerated.

I guess the only problem might be in making human, elven, and dwarven friends of the appropriate age. Beastkin kids can tell that they're kids as well, so they'd just be the "tall kid" or the "biggest kid" of the group, nothing more, so they'd still be able to make beastkin friends.

>>43748186
>Lyann will go along with whatever we say, and so will Aritsu. But will they be comfortable with it, or will it be something they suffer through with a smile for our sake?

Lyann wouldnt mind playing the saxophone if he wanted her to. As long as she can make him visibly happy, she is happy. Im not sure that's the term, but its about as explicit about such things as Im willing to go on /tg/

Aritsu... honestly I think she's a white canvas as far as sexual preferences go. She is naturally inclined to please him, and if she gets to cum along the way, im pretty sure it would be imprinted for her as a fun thing to do in private. She would absolutey be adamant about the point of privacy, though. So, we just need to make sure she enjoys whatever is going on and it should all be good.

Anyway, you want to do any change to those sliders?

>>43748526
Honestly, it is kind of tricky, for example, that's why Lyann's isn't max, because she has repeatedly told him she wants him to treat her as a slave and he doesn't wants to. Is not so much if he loves her or not

Well, I wanted the Modesty--Slutty slider kept as an indicator of how the girl dresses and acts.
The Secretive--Open slider doesn't really capture that, as it's restricted to only to how publically they show their relationship with Eldric, rather than whether they put effort into making themselves look sultry and alluring, or modest and demure.

So for Fahima, I'd like to change it a little to:
Secretive --3------- Open

Sure. Max equals for Mai and Ami seems a little off. While they're comfortable and intimate with us they do see themselves as being a servant caste even if eldric doesn't see them this way, and they defer to the princess who defers to us. That and there's alot of max equals, just seems like less variety.

Actually, I think it makes sense, since the Toy --- Equals slider isn't for how the girl wants to feel, but how Eldric considers them.

Of course, if it WAS how the girl wants to feel, then I'd agree with you.
