Epilogue: Fortune

Already two months had passed since the end of the tournament.

With that victory I obtained untold riches. Not just the tournament money itself but the loot we obtained in Rasheul Labyrinth could also be sold at a massive profit. On top of that, I was also entitled to everything Minerva owned.

I was the very definition of filthy rich.

But I was also still stuck with this ridiculous body.

Not that I wanted to be of course. But in order to get rid of that so called “blessing” I would have to travel to either Zeth or the Kalar forest.

Initially, I didn’t think that much of an issue. We have to travel to Zeth anyways to locate my sister. And if that’s not working out we can always make a quick detour to the Kalar forest. Sylphid needs to go there too, to get her own curse sorted out.

How naive I was.

To begin with, even with the tournament concluded, there were a lot of things to take care of.

I was the owner of a mansion now. Naturally, settling in took quite a bit of time. Especially since the place was also gigantic.

Luckily, I had a few maids to take care of it.

“Get to fucking work already, you stupid cunt!”

Cassandra kicked the yelping maid in the butt.

As punishment for being a slaver I turned Cassandra into a maid and blablabla(read the main branch if you want to know what’s up)

More importantly was our second maid.

The Lord of shadows, Dark Lord Ithere was down on all fours, currently scrubbing the floor. Her pink, frilly maid uniform did nothing to hide her butt. She was of course not allowed any underwear.

“We have to clean the entire third floor today and I’m not getting a punishment because of you lazy ass!”

“Y-Yes!”, the scared Dark Lord yelped as she used her shadow magic to conjure up multiple tentacles with mops to clean the floor at rapid speed. “This slutty slug gladly obeys!”

For a Dark Lord she was surprisingly good at cleaning.

And Cassandra was unsurprisingly ruthless. It was pretty evident that she had some grudge against Minerva and while I’m sure there was nothing of her remaining in there, Ithere still has the misfortune to serve as an outlet.

(By the way, to turn Ithere into a maid was Nikkou’s idea. Or perhaps calling her Nikkou’s pet was more accurate.)

Speaking of Nikkou. For someone who likes her sword form she sure stays a lot in her human body these recent days.

Her naked form that is. Nikkou seemed to not believe in the concept of clothes.

Of course, when Ithere was not cleaning, she basically spend every waking hour serving as Nikkou’s personal sex ****. Sometimes Nikkou has Sylphid join in the fun or Cassandra or Hebi-san. She even asked me a couple of times.(I declined)

She also put one of the savage collars on Ithere. Not that it was needed, I long since ordered Ithere to obey Nikkou, but it seems the holy blade enjoys the power trip that comes with having her ex-boyfriend collared.

I am fully aware we are talking about a vicious Dark Lord here who probably deserves way worse then this, but even so I almost put a stop to the constant bullying...if it weren’t for the fact that Ithere kinda...seems to enjoy herself?

“Oh yeah, the two are super into each other”, Sylphid agreed. “Kinda a love hate fuck thing, you know? Just let them do their thing.”

Uhu, sure. Well as long as they are happy.

Someone decidedly not happy was Beatrice.

Of course, I didn’t **** her to continue being my naked jester. I’m not a monster.

She is now allowed to wear a cute, colorful motley costume to perform in.

With a nipple and crotch window that will be opened as punishment for poor performance.

“How long do I have to keep this up!”, the angry little jester complained. By this point we have given up on juggling and she was currently attempting to simply balance a ball on her nose instead. She wasn’t that much successful with that either, but it was rather amusing.

The good news for Beatrice was that Nikkou was too busy with Ithere, to really still care about Beatrice’s insolent ways.

“Until Sanakia decided it is enough”, I told her. “What do you think, Sanakia?”

“Absolutely not!”, the ruthless Sexy-Knight declared. “The punishment must go on!”

The bad news was that that still left Sanakia who when it came to grudges really wasn’t far behind Nikkou.

“Urrrrggggghhhhh...you stupid horny bunny girl...acho!”

The ex-witch sneezed and dropped her ball only for Sanakia to demand she tried again.

“One more drop and you will wear the body paint costume for the rest of the week! Now show me if you have gotten any better with your Tebasaki dance!”

...

Well, at least Beatrice gets a decent exercise out of the ordeal. And probably learned her lessons about bets she can’t cash. I’m sure Sanakia will get tired of it.

Eventually.

Oh, Femto finds the whole thing, hilarious, by the way. The Devil was pretty pissed about the whole losing out on the contract thing but still shows up every now and then, mostly to tease Bea.

(Incidentally I forbid both Beatrice and Ithere from entering any contract with a Devil. I don’t think their fates are that bad, but better safe then sorry.)

Aiju had somewhat warmed up to my female form and now demands regular pets again. I figured out the reason for that relatively swiftly. The catgirl was pregnant. In fact, she should give birth in a matter of days. It goes without saying that I don’t plan to travel to Zeth before that.

Hebi-san got her fill of girls to fulfill her daily bully quota. I know I should technically still punish my former bully too but she and Nikkou had become good friends. Somehow.

And Fisti, who supposedly has a family in Leazas somehow manages to keep finding reasons as to why she has to absolutely stay in Rasheul. Her last excuse was to protect Lady Sylphid from Nikkou’s bad influence.

(And yes, of course Sylphid insisted on staying here too.)

Uni was still fawning over Hebi-san as usual and sometimes joined in on Nikkou’s sex parties(the less I know what goes in there the better)

Maria quit her job as a tournament success agent to take up work as my head maid. I would be more honored about that fact if she didn’t make it abundantly clear she was here to keep an eye on me or rather the monsters residing with me on behalf of Ojou-sama. (Incidentally, the crime boss had repeatedly asked to buy Ithere, Nikkou, Sylphid or Cia from me for an amount of money that even made my current wealth look like pocket change. Suffice to say, I refused. Strangely she never asked for Cassandra)

Speaking of, Cia naturally stayed with us too. The maid(who I finally learned was actually male) did a fine job completing our maid quartet, although as the only male(not counting Gilbert) in our household has some...additional responsibilities to fulfill. Nikkou had asked many times for his service in “training” Ithere(Again, the less I know, the better)

Not everyone stayed though. After a few days of recovery, Valkyrie and Fanfan had departed. Fanfan hailed from the Monster Realm and wanted to return there. Valkyrie offered to accompany her. I considered that to be for the best to be honest. While Ithere was not able to give either of them any orders, I still rather not risk having them in her presence.

Aside from these two, there was one other notable departure.

Lucky disappeared sometimes after the victory celebration. With anybody else I would be worried, but this is the Balance Breaker we are talking about. I am more worried about the people she encounters then her.

But these three departures were more then made up by a number of visitors both good and bad(mostly bad)

Just yesterday we got a surprise visit from Estelle and Mindi(Hebi-san’s former slaves) who apparently took on the trade of adventurer and planned to brave Rasheul Labyrinth. They asked for my expertise and wanted me and Sylphid to join them.

Obviously I declined.

Then my brother Zachs is supposed to arrive next week and Sylphid also plans to bring the slaves she won from her previous tournaments over.

Suffice to say, my days were very busy.

Still, I couldn’t say I wasn’t enjoying myself.

…

..

.

“My Laaaaaady!”

Sanakia was gasping loudly as I once again brought her to climax.

Thanks to her Sexual Knight Level I, she used to have the better of me for quite some time but as I was getting more and more used to this body I was finally able to properly dominate her again.

Maybe that was a bit arrogant, but considering the huge amount of people living here, I was expecting to be a bit more in demand but aside of the odd fling with Sylphid, Sanakia was really the only girl I still had regular sex with.

N-Not that there was anything wrong with that!

Snuggling happy against me, the naked Sexy-Knight let out a pleasant sigh.

Then suddenly she perked up again.

“Ah, my Lady! Were you aware about the queer visitor we had yesterday?”

“Another one?”, I groaned.

As I was alluding already, ever since I owned that mansion, all manners of weirdos kept showing up. From my rabid fans, to even more rabid of Minerva wanting ****, to crooks trying to steal Nikkou.

We even had three girls claiming to be Ithere’s apostle here to free their master.

These apostles were pretty powerful. Unfortunately, so were the monsters that call themselves my slaves. Sylphid had a field day punishing them.

“But this one was different!”, Sanakia exclaimed excitedly, before recalling the event.

…

..

.

“He was mine!”, the unkempt, disheveled man in dirty golden armor screeched, his breath stinking from cheap booze. “Mine to conquer! Mine to defeat! How dare you! HOW DARE YOU!”

Cia had the misfortune of opening the door that day and the poor maid was positively scared stiff. “I...I...am...s-sorry. W-What might you be referring to?”, he stammered.

The timid response however only enraged the man more. “You insolent wench! You dare refuse me? Do you know who I am? DO YOU?”

Fortunately, all the noise alerted Sanakia who swiftly put herself between the two. “Begone! This is the mansion of my Lady! She shall not suffer the presence of drunken beggars!”

The moment she made her appearance, the intruders eyes lit up. “My squire!”, he shouted loudly. “So you are here! Come! Bring out the Dark Lord you are hiding at once so that I might slay him!”

“I will most certainly not allow our maid to abandon her station so that she can go cavort about with some drunken goon.”, the Sexy-Knight responded sternly. “Begone now, and bother us no more!”

“You dare defy me?” The man’s eyes widened even further. “You will do as I command! I am your Lord and Master! The Golden Knight, Sylvester Spartano d’artagan!”

Sanakia cocked her head in confusion. “Who?”

For a moment, the uninvited visitor seemed to freeze.

Then he howled maddeningly and tried to grab the Sexy-Knight.

However, Sanakia was having none of it. She swiftly dodged his attempt at manhandling and kicked him in the stomach with the hilt of her sword.

The lout howled in response and attempted one more lunge with a dagger. It was a clumsy strike and the Sexy-Knight had no trouble disarming the scoundrel.

Stumbling on the ground like the roach he was, the base wretch made one more attempt to fight back, but by then the tip of Sanakia’s sword was firmly pressed at the blackguards throat. “I have only one Master.”, she declared, “My Lady has no taste for bloodshed, so I shall spare your miserable life. Begone, this is your last warning.”

Which is when the intruder howled in utter madness and scurried away like a rat.

…

..

.

“And that was that!”, Sanakia proudly finished her tale.

...

Well, this was Sanakia, she was probably embellishing it a lot.

Surely this drunken oaf couldn’t possibly have been the golden knight, but rather some poor delusional fool. Still, I probably should double check with Cia.

“But I finally remember, my Lady!”, Sanakia told me. “I finally remember who that man was!”

“You do?”

Sanakia nodded proudly. “It was the drunken fellow I met in that alley who send me after Nikkou!”

...really now?

The Sexy-Knight sighed. “If only I would have recognized it then, I would have invited him in. Maybe we could have give him employ as a servant?”

...huh.

Probably best not to think about it too hard.

The Sexy-Knight let out a purr as she snuggled herself against me once more. “We are departing for the magic kingdom of Zeth next week my Lord?”

“If my brother arrives in time. I take it you want to accompany us?”

“Naturally, my Lady!”, The Sexy-Knight nodded eagerly. “I will follow you to the very edges of the continent!”

I chuckled and petted her head. Well, I suppose taking her along to Zeth won’t cause too many issues.

“The monster realm is situated on Zeths western border”, Sanakia continued with an eager smile.

…

“I am not fighting the Demon King.”

“Of course not my Lady!”, Sanakia smiled. “But with your amazing feminine grace and allure you can seduce and marry him! Then you can bring peace to the continent at last!”

...

Maybe it’s better to leave Sanakia behind after all.
