Combat Maid Harem

"I see. My bad. It must be pretty traumatizing to all of you," Clova said and looked around her.

She could see the shocked expressions on their faces, especially Ella, who used Aleshia's back as her eye cover.

"I won't do it again when you're all watching," Clova said apologetically.

"Forget it. It's part of nature," Lawrend muttered and shook his head.

He decided to get over it. Nothing will happen if he mulled over it anyway.

Lawrend jumped up onto Clova's back.

One by one, they rode on top of Clova.

Ramiela was the last one, and she sat on the very back, behind Kenova and Olgar.

"Miss, you weren't scared when that giant bird ate that assassin?" Olgar asked her.

"Why would I be?" Ramiela replied coldly.

She didn't know him, so she didn't feel inclined to speak to him nicely as she does with Lawrend.

"C-Cause you know, this bird could eat us anytime…" Olgar explained awkwardly.

"Don't put me in the same category as a pathetic human like you. I can do the same thing that Aezel did to the assassins to you," Ramiela replied.

"I-I see."

Olgar shut his mouth and felt cold sweat pour down his back.

Today was an unlucky day for him. He was so shocked earlier that he wasn't even shocked when Aezel and Elena easily killed all of those 'Arch Mage' assassins.

…

Along their journey, except for some inquiries, no one spoke much. After all, they just saw the bird they were riding on swallow a human whole.

They all wondered how the body was dissolving inside her stomach.

Six hours later, a city appeared in front of them.

It was Lawrend, Aleshia, and Ella's home. As for Olgar, this was his childhood home before he moved to Sheron Port City.

"Olgar, you will be managing this city. Just challenge the mage guild and the sword guild in the city to a duel. Oh right, Healer Natasha is also stationed here. If possible, don't fight her," Lawrend said.

"I understand. What do I tell Healer Natasha, then?" Olgar asked.

"Tell her that you're now taking control of this city since you were born here," Lawrend replied.

"Isn't that too shabby of an excuse?" Olgar asked.

"You will be fine. After all, some people have an ambition like that. Tell her that you want to protect the city for Cherry's sake. She won't be able to say something after that," Lawrend replied.

"I see. That makes sense. Healer Natasha is known to support love, after all," Olgar muttered in understanding.

They flew down and landed at the bank of the Lani River.

"Thank you for the ride again, Clova," Lawrend said before he jumped down her back.

"No problem. I'm almost done cracking that book you found," Clova replied.

"Nice. Tell me once it's done," Lawrend replied.

"You were the one that got it for me. You have the right to know its contents," Clova replied.

Lawrend nodded his head at her and walked away with his entourage.

"Master, do you think that your father is in the city now?" Aleshia asked.

"No. It's still four months before his scheduled return. Though, most likely, we will meet him in this journey," Lawrend replied.

"What do you mean, Master?" Aleshia asked in confusion.

"I will ask Albert and Alfred where my father went. Even if they don't know about it, there should be some clues he left behind," Lawrend replied.

"Oh… I can't help but feel nervous. What would he think now that you have a maid harem?" Aleshia asked.

"I don't know. I just want to meet him and demand an explanation as to why he didn't attend my birthday," Lawrend answered with gritted teeth.

"It's okay, Master. I will also scold him for you," Aleshia replied.

Elena: "Me too!"

Ella: "Me three!"

Aezel: "For Master!"

Humility: "For Master!"

Amene: "NYAA!!"

Grape: "NYAAA!"

The only girl who didn't shout was Ramiela. She awkwardly turned her head away from them and pretended she didn't know any of them.

"They sure are energetic," Olgar muttered.

"I have never seen the princess act so joyfully before. She really found a place she belongs to," Kenova replied.

"I don't even know why I'm here… This is too risky," Olgar replied and shook his head.

"It's alright. You saw that Aezel's strength, right? I never thought she was actually that powerful. I know that she's Lawrend's maid that follows him around in the academy," Kenova said.

"... I don't want to get started about her. She's a monster," Olgar replied and shook his head.

"Alright, let's all head to the city. It's almost morning," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master~" his maids responded.

"They walked together in a group and headed to the city.

A dozen minutes later, and after walking through the rough grassland, they arrived at the north gate of Lanika city.

"I'm back," Olgar muttered.

"I'm home," Lawrend said.

"Halt!"

A guard watching from atop the wall of the city shouted at them.

"Where did you all come from? It's so late," the guard said.

"We got lost in the Great Berthan Forest!" Lawrend shouted.

"You got lost?" the guard repeated with a confused look on his face.

"Why?" Lawrend asked.

"Nothing…"

The guard gave them weird gazes before he left.

A few minutes later, a small gate opened on the large gate. It was enough for one person to enter through.

"Were you all smuggled here?"

A city guard with a large figure exited the open gate.

"Smuggled? Why would we be smuggled?" Aleshia asked in confusion.

"Such beautiful women led by a man and two other men to support him. Tell us, and we will free you from these smugglers," the city guard said to her.

Without waiting for her response, the city guard raised his hand into the air.

"Troops, surround them! We will get a reward from Healer Natasha if we're able to save them from these smugglers!"

City guards dropped down from the side of the city walls using ropes and surrounded Lawrend's entourage.

"Wait! I'm a mage from this city! There are people inside that can testify for our innocence!" Olgar shouted and raised his mage pin into the air.
