Stress and secrecy

You leave the cheering crowd behind, heading back inside. You dismiss your armor, and smile at Kali and Maya. “I think that went well.”

Maya grins. “How does it feel to be emperor, my Josh?”

You chuckle. “Intimidating. There’s so many people looking up to me now. I don’t dare let them down.”

Kali kisses your cheek. “You won’t. I believe in you. We all do! Now, I’m going to change out of this armor, I doubt I’ll need it here.”

You nod, and Maya kisses your other cheek. “I’m going to hang out with Anna, Lynn, and Yura. Us pregnant girls are having a meeting!”

You laugh. “Should I be worried?”

Maya grins. “Always!”

With a laugh, she bounces off down the hallway. You chuckle, and make your way to the living room. Hana is there, relaxing on the couch with a book. She looks up as you walk in. “I liked your speech, Josh! You look so dashing up there, leading the country…no, empire now, I suppose.”

You drop onto the couch with a sigh, and lay down, resting your head in the slime girl’s squishy lap. “It’s nerve wracking being up there! I get so nervous, especially since it’s such a serious thing.”

Hana rubs your back, smiling at you. “You hide it well. We were all cheering for you back here!”

You smile, enjoying the feeling of being close with her. “So, I wanted to ask, how are you settling in here?”

Her face lights up in a grin. “Oh! The girls are so fun! Especially Sadie and Uzume! I love playing around with them. Maya is great too, but she keeps asking lewd things…”

You chuckle. “Yeah, that sounds like her. So…anyone lure you into bed yet?”

Despite not really being able to blush, Hana manages to look embarrassed. “Y-yeah…Sadie…”

You grin. “Of course. I swear, that girl could seduce anyone.”

Hana nods, and in a quiet voice says. “Also Kali and Samara. Together.”

You sit up and gently kiss her cheek. “I’m honestly not surprised by that either. Those two seem to be growing more sexual by the day. I worry about what will happen when they decide I should join them.”

Hana looks surprised. “You haven’t?”

You shake your head. “Not together, no. I think they’re embarrassed about being sisters around me. Despite me telling them I didn’t mind. I’m sure that’ll change soon.”

The slime girl snuggles closer, making you acutely aware of her nakedness. “So…do you think we could spend some time together soon? I have something I want to try…”

You laugh. “Very subtle, Hana. I’m sure we can find some time for the two of us.”

Hana giggles and shakes her head. “No, not just us. But I want to surprise you! So it’s a secret…”

You laugh. “Well, now I’m intrigued! I look forward to it, Hana!”
