Combat Maid Harem

"That's what I want to ask. How did this cave even form? Is this also under every part of the forest?"

"Master, this is a hid—" Eleanor spoke out loud.

"Shhh! What are you doing talking out loud?!" Lawrend interrupted her.

"But Master, it's time they know about us. After all, we're about to be whole again. At that time, I would take on a semi-corporeal form!" Eleanor said in a despondent voice.

"W-Who is that, Master!?" Amene's tail stood straight behind her as she took a fighting stance.

"Master, who was that?" Aezel asked. She opened her hand and readied herself to defend him.

"*Sigh* Whatever. She's Eleanor. A ghost I found," Lawrend replied.

Now that he thought about it, she was right. There would come a time when he would need to introduce them to his maids. It was better to do it now than later to lessen their confusion.

"Eleanor?" Amene relaxed her tense nerves and tilted her head.

"Daisy, introduce yourself too," Lawrend said as he pulled her soul shard out of his pocket.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Daisy. Lawrend found me and Eleanor is my soul shard," Daisy said out loud. Her crystal brightened and darkened as she spoke.

"W-What is that, Master? Daisy? Eleanor?" Aezel stared at the speaking crystal on his hand in trepidation.

"You don't have to worry. They are friendly. Show yourself, Eleanor," Lawrend replied as he reassured her.

"Tada~! I'm a ghost that pledged myself to be Master's maid!"

Eleanor appeared in front of them. She was wearing white silk clothes around her body. Her chestnut-colored hair and her white slender body were semi-transparent.

"A real ghost!" Amene screamed in horror.

She ran and hid behind Aezel. Her ears and tails were both standing straight in fear.

"M-Master… Since when did you get a ghost maid?" Aezel asked him with a wry smile on her face.

Even she was feeling uneasy seeing a ghost as she had never seen one before.

"It happened…" Lawrend replied and scratched his head awkwardly.

"As expected of Master…" Amene said with her eyes shining.

Her respect for him increased. He really was capable of doing anything. Even a ghost surrendered herself to him.

"Also, I already did it with Master!" Eleanor proclaimed with a wide smirk on her face.

"Wha-!"

"Nyaa!?"

Both Aezel and Amene stared at her in stupefaction. That would never cross their mind if she never told it to them.

Lawrend facepalmed himself. He felt embarrassed as it wasn't normal to have intercourse with a ghost.

"Hehehehe. Jealous?" Eleanor asked mischievously.

Her evil part was fueling her desire to tease the two of them.

"No… I'm amazed at Master," Aezel replied.

"Nyaa!" Amene nodded her head in agreement.

"What? You're not jealous that a ghost did it with your Master?" Eleanor asked them in disbelief.

"Fufufu. Why would we be? We share Master. Since you're his maid, we should call you Sister now," Aezel replied calmly.

"What…" Eleanor opened her mouth wide as she stared at them.

"Enough, Eleanor. You're embarrassing me," Daisy said.

"Can you also show yourself, Daisy?" Lawrend asked her.

"I can't, Lawrend. I would rather show myself than that Eleanor if I could!" Daisy replied.

"No need to be embarrassed. Once we merge, let's all become Master's maid!" Eleanor said to her.

"No! You're shameless! You're my soul shard yet you're so lustful," Daisy replied in an angry voice.

"Isn't that what I'm? Your evil, lust, memory, and intelligence soul shard? Although I don't have all our memories yet, I'm not wrong, am I, heart and love soul shard?" Eleanor replied sarcastically.

"Hmph!" Daisy harrumphed before she went silent.

"Wait. That's the first time I heard about that. She's the heart and love soul shard?" Lawrend asked in surprise.

"Yes. Daisy contains my feelings," Eleanor replied.

"Hmm… So you really don't love me, huh? You just want to pleasure yourself," Lawrend replied with a knowing look on his face.

"I… I…"

Eleanor looked around in panic and touched her fingers together.

"You will not become my maid. Since Daisy is your feelings, she decides whether she loves me or not. As long as she doesn't love me, I won't agree, okay?" Lawrend said to her solemnly.

"Master…" Eleanor stared at him at a loss for words.

"You can come back to the ring now," Lawrend said.

"Okay," Eleanor replied in a flat tone of voice.

She turned into smoke and entered the ring from the temple on his finger.

"So she's not actually your maid, Master?" Amene asked as she blinked her eyes, still disbelieving that she saw a ghost.

"Yes. Rather, we had an agreement that we can do it with each other," Lawrend replied.

"Fufufufu. Master's vigor even attracted a ghost," Aezel said as she looked at him teasingly.

"Not really. She just wanted to pleasure herself, and I happened to be there," Lawrend replied.

"Fufufu. You can stop being humble, Master," Aezel replied with a sly smile on her face.

"Anyway, Eleanor, you can continue what you were saying earlier," Lawrend said, and he ignored Aezel.

"This is a hideout located at a crater in the forest. The trees are used to cover it and I'm guessing that the top got covered by dirt as time passed," Eleanor said.

"I see. That makes sense. It would be amazing if it really covered the whole Undrasil Monster Forest," Lawrend replied and nodded his head in understanding.

"That's impossible," Eleanor replied.

"Okay. Thank you for telling me that. Let's go inside the temple," Lawrend said.

The three of them continued walking and they shortly arrived in front of the ancient temple. It was dark-colored and covered with various other mushrooms and not just the glowing ones.

Up close, the ancient temple was small in size compared to its height. It was as big as one large box with a conical spire at its top. The entrance was fully open, and there was no podium in the center which was true in the previous one.

"Master, let me enter first," Aezel said and walked in front of them.
