Rosemary, next morning

I woke up before the others. The Lady, Sofia and I had slept together in the other room. It was in some ways much more intimate than sleeping with the other eight girls, but at the same time, it was a bit colder. Yet they both also were wrapped around me and I had no chance of moving out of this without waking them. So I just enjoyed the soft feel of them.

I chuckled at the realization that I had a threesome with just girls. Sexually, I knew I was straight. Even the recent experience with the Lady and Sofia hadn’t changed that. But in the wake up what Master wanted, my own sexuality hardly mattered and I knew he wanted me to bond with the girls.

Sofia opened her eyes first. “Morning sister. I can’t believe how well you did last night. Like, damn.”

“I was just going after your example,” I said. I meant that basically literally, all I really did was chain a few low level divination cantrips back to back. It was enough future knowledge for me to play the part of the twin to both the Lady and Sofia. But I guess they weren’t used to being on the receiving side to their little twin play.

She kissed my cheek. “Still impressive. No one has shaken up things with our family as much as you. I thought Lillian did a lot with her magic at first, but it is nothing compared to what you have done.”

I smiled. “I’m happy my knowledge is helpful.”

The Lady woke up and kissed me on the cheek too. “Sister, don’t belittle your knowledge by only calling it helpful.”

“Yes, my Lady,” I said.

We got out of bed and got dressed. In the main room, the other eight girls were sleeping on the beds they pushed together last night. Everything seemed in order. The Lady wanted to join us in cooking, but Sofia reminded her that as the Lady she should rest, wait and be ready to command the girls that wake up. So it was me and Sofia in the kitchen.

Both were so professional in the kitchen, but if I would define a difference. I’d say the Lady felt more like a mom that was a professional chef. She brought in the weight and experience of a true expert and the mannerism you’d expert from the rank. While Sofia felt more like an older sister. While both could cook leagues above you, Sofia had that softer more gently attitude, one that came from someone that wanted to nurture your growth, not just teach.

I was guessing that Vivi and the others got the food stocks while I was at the guild. We ended up having tons of eggs, and some salted meats, as well as milk and veggies. So Sofia was showing me how to make her omelet. It was another of the few recipes that Sofia could do that was better that the Lady. And looking, it was easy to see why. Sofia’s hand dexterity was a lot smoother than the Lady. Even if the Lady was more skilled, that slight difference made hers way fluffier.

We made enough for everyone and when we brought out the food, the girls were already around the table chatting. The Lady clapped twice and we all got quiet. Even I felt the need to be quiet in response to that sound, and I wasn’t even making any noise to begin with.

“So, what is everyone’s plan today?” the Lady asked.

“Oh! Can I go to the forest?” Natalia asked. “I haven’t went alone for a hike in a long time.”

“I thought you wanted to keep me safe when I went to the book store?” Victoria asked.

“Oh, right. Good point boss,” Natalia replied, she rubbed the top of her head. “Guess I forgot.”

“Hmm,” the Lady began. “Brenda, you go with them. Vivi too. We can’t do the rest of our shopping until we got our funds. Oh, I guess we need Rosemary to collect the Jaka flowers. Julia will go with her, and Vivi, collect the alchemical equipment Rosemary needs while they are out.”

“Yes Ma’am!” We all said in unison.
