âThere are some houses not used by the family that have been left alone. The cleaning isnât perfect, but be patient. Iâll let my girls do it in the morningâ
Grandma Donna points to a house near the center of the colony. We walk around with her. Even at night, under the bright moon, you can feel a lot of curious eyes looking at the rare guests from the surrounding houses and shadows.
âIndeed, itâs a colony full of womenâŚâŚit seems that cat beasts on a full moon day are highly active in nonsense. I read that, but now I knowâ
100-man commander Becker is laughing while stroking his stubbleâs chin. Dianne sighed.
âDonna-dono. Iâm sorry for the guide, but Iâll take this idiot to Talc firstâ
âIf thatâs the case, then do so. Males who canât be used are a poison to the girlsâ
âH, Hey, what do you mean I cant use it? Even though things may appear this way, Iâm a handsome guy with a reputation in the neighborhood who gets an female ogre and a former customs bride and makes them bark every nightâ
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâ
Dianne and Grandma Donna look at each other and sigh.
âIf you do two people and youâre proud, youâll dieâ
âEven if you get through it, you´re going to make an excuse for the bride who is proud of being in the pool waiting for you who is on a business trip at the essential spirit festivalâ
âUguâŚâŚn, no, just an inspectionâŚâŚâ
âLaila, take him alongâ
âHo. Iâll be back in the morning. Donna, Iâm expecting your home cooking for the first time in a whileâ
Dianne grabs the neck of 100-man commander Becker and Laila, takes off quickly and turns into a dragon again.
âGrandma says unreasonable things even though the night is early. âŚâŚYou can only prepare hellboa simmered in herbs, isnât it?â
âSufficientâ
Laila puts Dianne on her head, grabs 100-man commander Becker with her huge hand and takes off with momentum on the spot.
âO, Oou, at least put me on your backâ
âAt most 4 or 5 hours, be patientâ
âSo much!?â
When they gain altitude, Laila flaps her big wings and fly south on the wind. And I, Aurora, Jeanne, Naris and Luna are left behind.
ââŚâŚThere are only a few unreliable members leftâ
âNdaâ
âRudeâŚâŚIâd like to say something, but in a colony of a different race, it would be a problem if I was given the cold shoulderâ
Aurora is also a reliable negotiator in the elf society and the world of the upper class, but it is different in a beastman colony. And.
âWell, do I also belong to the unreliable person quota?â
âI canât think of a scene where I can rely on Naris for a slow reactionâ
âIt doesnât make sense to be told that by 10-man captain Smithson!?â
Luna is the only rope I can rely on.
*****
That night dawned without incident, the next morning came.
âDid you come back by dawnâŚâŚâ
âI told you until morning. If you come back earlier than noon, itâs as announcedâ
âWell, thatâs right. âŚâŚItâs been a while since a morning without snowâ
âYesâ
It is an oasis with a moist morning haze, I draw water in a bucket and wash my face with Jeanne. The two elves slept well so I didnât wake them up. Luna canât be found since around midnight. Itâs been a long time since she was home, so I think it might have been a story that she was occupied by Grandma Donna and her friends.
âAndyâ
Suddenly she appeared from behind.
âLuna. Where did you go?â
âProcurement of breakfastâ
âSince midnight?â
âYesâ
If you look closely, Lunaâs body is dirty with dust. Luna doesnât hesitate to take off her clothes and remain in her underwear, before she begins to wash the clothes she took off with the water drawn in the bucket.
âThereâs blood on it. âŚâŚI have to get more military uniforms to replace, Dianneâ
âBloodâŚâŚâ
âYeah. Breakfastâ
Did she go hunting during the night?
âMonsters at night will be strongâ
Same for Renfangas and Celesta. The activity of monsters is higher at night. It wouldnât be a big difference for Dianne and Laila, but itâs a little negligible for non-combatant Luna.
âItâs okay. Two days until the full moon. Iâm stronger nowâ
ââŚâŚIs that soâ
Iâve heard that the senses and motor skills of cat beasts change greatly depending on the moon.
âLuna-neechanâ
âIâve finished disassembling. Itâs okay to bake everything except the liver, right?â
I can hear the girlsâ voices from beyond the morning haze. âŚâŚThere are some familiar voices. Is it Lina or Yuna?
âI asked grandma that belly meat is going to be a gen-carrying dish. Also, she said she wanted a lump of the best shoulderâ
âYesâ
âAll the meat is good, right? Bring an iron skewer, Ran-chanâ
Itâs a happy conversation with giggling, but it doesnât overturn the reality that the girls are happy to dismantle that giant pig.
âHardâ
ââŚâŚWell, every colony in the Great Desert Labyrinth is like this. If youâre saying itâs tiring to dismantle monsters, youâre starvingâ
Jeanne nods. âŚâŚThe woman who pierced the eyeballs of Hells boa with her fist is different. She looks like a little girl as usual.
By the time the morning mist cleared, the colony was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
âItâs an appetite-stimulating smellâŚâŚâŞâ
âItâs a menu full of wildness from the morningâ
Naris and Aurora have also gotten up.
âNyaaâ
âGuests can eat tooâ
Cat girls beckon. As expected, the center of cooking were mature cat beast women. Naris´s eyes shined when she saw the skewers piled up on the plate.
âOooo. Great, itâs like Celesta. It was true that Celesta people have been eating meat with a special thick sauce since the morningâ
âNo, even in Celesta, itâs usually bread or fruit, right?â
Ogres eat meat from the morning and dwarves drink from the morning, but the majority of humans arenât much different from Trot. Itâs a little seasoned, though.
âThatâs fine. Yes, for Andy´s taskâ
ââŚâŚWhatâs thisâ
On the plate presented by Luna, objects with slightly different odors and textures are piled up.
âHells boa liver grilled. Badâ
âAre you abusing me!?â
Luna is in a rebellious period. When I thought about it, Grandma Donna came out from the dirt floor of a nearby house and pointed at me with her cane.
âEat it because itâs good. It has a tonic effect. There are only two days until the full moonâ
ââŚâŚThat, perhapsâ
âTake the other meats. Itâs not because of that liver that my daughters went to hunt boas at nightâ
Full moon. Only the full moon is emphasized. And Grandma Donnaâs open-minded words. Well, it may not be necessary to think about it.
ââŚâŚMaybe theyâre trying to get me to seed them again in the full moon?â
âThe situation hasnât changed much. Why donât you think Iâm not going to let you?
âŚâŚUwaa. I mean, all the cat beasts around me are paying close attention. Itâs even more now, really. But let me just pretend I just noticed.
ââŚâŚLast time, Hilda-san was there, so I was able to go on such a rampageâ
âThatâs why I say that from the beginning. How far can you go without that woman?â
ââŚâŚâŚâŚâ
I think that there were quite a lot of girls who were half-reasonable that night and I think that there are many girls who dislike working seeding if you think about it normally.
âFor the time being, itâs only for those who want it, right?â
âWell, but last time, young man´s sperm was quite good. Many of the girls who were withdrawn before are enthusiastic this timeâ
ââŚâŚDoing well?â
Grandma Donna looks at Luna. Luna pushed my back.
âWhat is it?â
âOver hereâ
*****
I can hear a child crying.
ââŚâŚHey, maybeâ
âNo need to guess. Everyone is a kid made of Andyâs seedsâ
In the house I looked into, there were several cat beasts holding children. Some are breastfeeding, some holding the children in each arm.
âI canât see itâ
âLookâ
I held Jeanneâs side and lifted her up and Jeanne opened her mouth.
ââŚâŚThey´re more grown than Peter
âThey were born before I went to see Andyâ
ââŚâŚPeter wasnât the first childâ
Iâm sorry Jeanne looked a little disappointed. No, this situation was never something I could expect. But Luna shook her head.
ââŚâŚTheyâre not ăAndy´s childrenăâ
â?â
âI told you before. Grandma didnât tell you to take responsibilityâ
âAh, yesâ
ââŚâŚSo they´re ăColony Kidsă. They´re children made from Andyâs seeds, but they arenât Andyâs children. I canât let Andy raise themâ
ââŚâŚEven so, something like thatâŚâŚâ
Certainly, Iâm not in a state where I can feed the current dozens of female slaves. On top of that, itâs a challenge to be told to raise those children. But I also miss it somehow. Luna smiled at me like that.
âBut Iâm going to have Andyâs kid, because weâre raising it together. My kid isnât a colony kid, but Andyâs kidâ
ââŚâŚYesâ
âThere are a lot of people who like Andy. A man has wandered in several times and married someone of ours, but thereâs never been a man in the colony who seeds as much as Andy and there are probably a lot of women here who are mostly Andy-only. But I still donât hold Andy accountable as a father. On the other hand, thatâs why I can say that I want everyone to seed Andy casually. Regardless of Andyâs power or money, just as a maleâ
ââŚâŚComplicatedâ
âI thought you would say itâ
Luna also smiles as if she was in trouble.
âGreedyâ
ââŚâŚI knowâ
Needless to say, itâs an ego. I donât have the power to own it, but I just want to own it. But.
ââŚâŚThen you can come with a collar like me. If you can afford it, one by one, to the mothers who gave birth to Andy´s children, so they are yours. So Andyâs children are Andy´sâ
âThatâŚâŚI feel terrible, but I donât think Iâm convincedâ
âItâs okay. I was happy, so maybe everyone is happyâ
I laugh bitterly at Lunaâs outrage. âŚâŚBut.
âThatâs right. Canât I do it if I´m gloomy here?â
Now that it is difficult to get along with many female slaves, there is no point in getting more greedy. Someday, if I´m big enough to let them wear a collar, then Iâll come back to my women, my children. Until then.
ââŚâŚI have no choice but to spoil them. To this colonyâ
âItâs the colony who takes advantage of Andyâ
Itâs a strange relationship. âŚâŚLailaâs wings cross the sky.
âNow, letâs go back and eat grilled liver. Two days later, it will be really sweetâ
âYesâ
âŚâŚThis is also something I can do a little for the colony, right?
