Epic of Caterpillar

When the sun finally fell down the horizon, everyone began to gather on the Royal Dining Room for dinner.

I sat down with Rimuru, Brontes, Nesiphae, and Gaby and we talked and ate some of the meat and items that Wagyu brought me from the dungeon. I wanted to invite him to eat with us but he already had his own family, with her partner and his two children. The two beautiful pups were happy to see their father again, and Wagyu was surprised about their sudden growth, he said that starting tomorrow, he will train them personally.

While eating, Zehe finally came accompanied with Herbell, they were carrying some books that they stole from Meiji's Library while he's still outside. I didn't mind Herbell eating with us as he's a calm and composed man, and his presence isn't annoying at all.

[You and your servants learned the following Skills]

[Storm Wind Elemental Magic Orb]

[High All Wind Resistance]

[Quadrupedal Storm Eagle Strong Beak Attack]

[Storm Talons Mighty Slash]

[Sacred Emerald Wings that Summon the Calamity]

[You learned the following Skills]

[Calamity Storm Swan Blessed Soul Core]

[Ancient Emerald Bird Lineage Blessing]

Although these were a lot of skills, it was only possible because I ate around 20 different monster species, and most of them didn't even give me a skill. If I were to get to this dungeon and completed it on my own, I would have only gotten these skills through the ten floors…

Tonight's dinner was surprisingly delicious, it was made of the Rhinoceros Golden Beetles that I gave to Chokumotsu yesterday, she managed to clean the bitter blood on its meat and seasoned it with delicious spicy sauces alongside different herbs. The meat tasted like a flavorful and high-quality Lobster. There wasn't any bitterness at all, even its most inner juices were sweet and spicy, with a delicious herbal fragrance.

[Giant Golden Rhinoceros Beetle Emperor Hot Pot: A delicious hot pot that contains the previously seasoned and washed meat of the Golden Beetle, alongside countless Forest Mushrooms and Veggies, creating a flavorful broth]

[Grants: +7 to Strength and Defense for the next 24 hours]

[Heals: 120 MP and 250 Stamina]

Tonight, was quite peaceful and we didn't do any sexual activity, my wives seemed to want to protect me for some reason, hugging me tightly the whole night.

Although it's clear that I've been always stronger than them, perhaps I am not as mentally strong as I though. Their love and care are sometimes what drives me to keep going with enthusiasm.

I still remember when I was a Caterpillar and I was fighting to survive desperately those nights, I always felt extremely lonely. I always wondered if that's what I was going to be for the rest of my life. And when I found out that I wasn't able to evolve and get strong enough to explore the world, that night, I felt as if my entire being crumbled into nothing.

However, by the compassion of the bastard that sent me here, I managed to evolve, and even obtained a skill that made me never feel alone again, bringing Rimuru to my life… And then Wagyu showed up, and since then, it has been a roller coaster of events.

I suddenly encountered myself surrounded by people that admired me and trusted me. Which made me want to go even further, to reach things that I never thought were possible for me to do.

I began to smile while caressing my sleeping wives' heads, and I slowly fell asleep.

[Day 47]

Today I woke up quite refreshed and on a nice timing, there were a lot of things to do so I quickly woke up my wives and we took a nice bath.

After taking a relaxing bath and having a nice breakfast, I left my wives on the Training Grounds with the Humans and Demi-Humans and immediately went to were the Rin Sisters were.

Surprisingly, today they had a free day so they were all sleeping.

The Rin Sisters have their rooms on my Castle, but usually like to sleep on the same bed, some Arachne Maids have told me that they like to play with each other at night… Well, I'm no one to judge them.

I quickly woke them up as they were surprised to see me. I told them about the new road and about assigning different teams for exploration and gathering.

We spent the next three hours discussing these matters.

In the end, we decided to create a small "Dungeon Service" system that will be inside the castle. Anyone with enough strength will be tested and they will be able to train and explore the dungeon, gathering Magic Cores and getting some money from it. Because we own the Dungeon, we will take 80% of the money made from the Magic Cores. But if the one who went hunting them is a well-known person in the Kingdom and a member of the Royal Knights, we will only take 70%.

Also, only up to four members can be on the same team, if a team has four members, they can obtain a little bit more money. This will incentivize companionship between different races.

The rules are simple and no one can really break them, because we will make everyone sign a special type of magic contract made with the Sisters magic.

Talking about that, the Sisters evolved, and due to this, they obtained interesting skills related to their jobs.

Each one was once a Half Demon, but after evolving, they became Half Receptionist Succubus. A strange Succubus variant that was very proficient in contracts, managing business and selling or buying products. They are like the Merchants of Demons.

The three girls got skills specialized in the subject, like [Unbreakable Devil Pact], [Robbery Discount], [Masterful Business Proficiency], etc.

Although they evolved into a non-combatant race, they are quite strong on their own and possess powerful Dark, Hypnosis and Dream Magic, being able to enter other people's dreams or even summon beasts from their deepest Nightmares.

Having this finally settled, I said my goodbyes…

But something happened, it seems that the Rin Sisters missed me, even Rin who once was Cocky Mind missed to talk with me, so I decided to spend the rest of the day with them on a "date".

Hoping for my wives to not find out, I invited Rin, Ran and Ren to several restaurants on the town and also bought them new clothes, they spent several hours trying new types of cute clothes that my talented people have crafted.

Rin liked classic and princess-like dresses, using very cute clothes, this fitted her character as a Tsundere Girl. She liked to ask me how she looked on these clothes, every time I praised her beauty, she would blush and then get angry, calling me a pervert, she was very adorable.

Ran used to be Lazy Mind and haven't changed much since then, she doesn't have much of a sense of fashion but she liked to pick new pajamas. She began to wear quite a few, there was one that was just a full bear pajama, it was rather funny to see her try these weird clothes.

And Ren who used to be Energetic Mind changed quite a lot, becoming the most mature of the girls, although she is rather serious, according to her sisters, she is the lustiest of the three. She began wearing sexy lingerie in front of me, teasing me with her beautiful figure and large breast. If I were a man, I would have gotten an erection several times…

When I bought everyone's clothes, I noticed that the day was almost ending, so I invited them to eat something in the most expensive restaurant in the town.

The sisters were ferocious eaters and ate more than 40 different plates each, I thanked a greater existence that I was the Empress of this Kingdom or I would be broke by now.

The owner of the place insisted that everything was free if it was to feed me or my friends, but I rightfully paid him every plate of food, I think the old monkey obtained quite a fortune and was dancing around with a stupid happy face.

When we all ate to our heart's content, it was around three AM, so I quickly dragged the drunk sisters to their rooms on the castle.

Maybe because they were drunk or something, but when I reached the room, they looked at me with very lusty eyes. And even invited me multiple times to have sex with them, I rightfully denied. I have five wives waiting for my return, so I had to reject their offer.

However, they gave me very sad puppy eyes, it seems that they liked me and wanted to express their love to me.

Suddenly, I got an idea.

"Activate Skill: [True Magical Double]!"

Flash!

The sisters were surprised after seeing a complete double of me appear out of thin air. I commanded the double to have lovely sex with all of them for the rest of her lifespan (2 hours), and she quickly began, making the three girls' orgasm not long after.

Leaving the girls in their chamber of pleasure, I went to my room and found my wives sleeping. I wonder how was their day. I quickly commanded some of my flesh and slime minions around the castle and they gave me some of the info on what they did. It seems that everyone was busy with their things, getting stronger, working or learning new things.

Brontes began to learn Blacksmithing from Kajiya. It seems that she discovered that she had a nice affinity over Forging. Probably because she is Cyclops. From what I've read, Cyclops have a strong affinity with minerals and metallurgy. There are several Demi-Gods related to minerals that are said to be Cyclops.

Rimuru got interested in Cooking and had lessons with Chokumotsu and Kaen (Chokumotsu husband). However, she ruined most of her preparations. She needs to practice a lot…

Nesiphae and Gaby trained with the Humans and Demi-Humans and had a nice day, talking with their dear friends and having exciting battles.

Zehe spends her day with Herbell researching magic and buying baby clothes, Herbell even bought some things for the baby.

I'm glad they didn't feel as sad because I wasn't present.

Just before I was about to sleep, I got some interesting news.

First of all, two teams already finished their explorations and were on their way, probably getting here tomorrow morning. I hope they bring me some new monster meat to taste, I've been too busy to hunt outside of the Beetle incident.

Second, the humans finally began to move, but they were slow and would take around two days to reach here. This is because they came with the Noble man who was looking for his son, so they have to stop a lot because he feels tired of everything. We shall have a feast whenever they arrive.

And third, Mady has managed to defeat the last remaining criminal organization on the Aquarian Kingdom, obtaining complete dominance over the criminal side of the city. She told me that she would lay low and slowly make connections with different Nobles and Royals until I gave her a new order. After everyone is back from the expeditions and the human issue is settled, I will go back there and take the whole Kingdom once and for all.

For me, all these were good news, so I had a nice and relaxing sleep. Because I didn't have many interesting skills to fuse, I decided to wait until I stockpile more.
