Epic of Caterpillar

[Day 195]

Today, I woke up for some good news, Adelle's belly had suddenly bulged and Mady urgently needed a safe pool to lay her eggs.

It seems that Scylla, Kraken, and the subspecies of merfolk with a mollusk half lay eggs, after being impregnated by a male, the eggs slowly grow inside of the mother's cloaca until a certain size where they need to lay them into a small pool.

Mady had three watermelon-sized eggs inside of her belly, which had slowly bulged with a lot as well, her usual composed personality had changed drastically, and she seemed weak and frail, giving me the desire to protect her.

"M-Master… I-I need a safe pool… T-This is my first-time having children… Ugh… T-They are coming…"

"Alright, leave it to me," I said, as I patted Mady's silky head and gave her a small warm drink to relax, as she was being helped by my wives.

There wasn't any time to decide where the pool could be settled, the safest place would be the very room I slept on, so I used [Grand Golem Creation] coupled with [Earth Manipulation] to convert the ground into golems and mold them into a pool, digging deep bellow, at least ten meters.

Then, I filled the pool with Spring Water from the [Basin of Never-Ending Spring Water], which had healing properties and then added several types of seaweed with healing properties that I had stored in my Item Box.

Mady, seeing the welcoming pool, jumped over there with grand energy, submerging herself to the pool's floor. There, I went with her and by molding the pool, I generated a bed filled the soft sand.

Finally finding a good place to lay her eggs, Mady relaxed her muscles and let the three watermelon-sized semi-transparent eggs drop from her cloaca, which expanded widely, to sizes that I never thought possible…

"Uuff… Aah! Guhh…"

"Relax, Mady, slowly… I'm with you"

"Master… Y-Yes… Guuh… Aaahh… Oh!"

Suddenly, three eggs were expulsed from Mady's cloaca, one after another fell over the soft sand.

"There they are… Fweeehh…"

"T-That was fast…!"

I seriously thought that it would take hours like the other girls, but I suppose each demi-human have their own physiology.

The three eggs were safely secured in the pool, each one had a small Scylla humanoid body, they were our children. Their little bodies were still very frail and the eggs were actually quite frail as well, so I left several magic barriers so they wouldn't slip out of the soft sand bed by accident. I also left Aquatic Slime Clones to take care of them 24/7.

As Mady rested and embraced her eggs with her long tentacles, I remained at her side for some time, inspecting the eggs while caressing the fatigued Mady. There were two females and one boy, although their appearances were quite exactly similar, so it was very hard to discern the boy.

"So there are two girls and one boy…? Aaah~ I can't wait for them to hatch so I can hug them and kiss them~" Said Mady, daydreaming about our children.

"I think so too, I just want to hug them so badly… Are you feeling okay?"

"Uh? Y-Yeah, I'm fine, Master, you don't have to worry"

"Of course, I worry, Mady. You're my wife, if I didn't, I don't think I would be able to forgive myself"

"Haha… Perhaps I acted a little bit desperate there… It's just that it was my first time… and I didn't know what to do… It was all, desperation and confusion… My instincts kept alerting me to lay them… It was tiring to hold them off while you prepared the pool… But things are fine now… Thanks, Master…"

"I was also quite frightened… But I'm glad that things turned out well… Anyways, Mady, I would prefer it if you called me by my name… I've told you before…"

"But I like to call you Master~ After all, back then you forcefully made me yours and even enslaved me… Aah~ I still remember our first time…"

"B-But Mady, that's in the past, you're no longer a slave, you're family…"

I grabbed on Mady's arms as I looked her deeply on her scarlet eyes, then, I kissed her passionately, with my utmost love, something that Mady hasn't received without lust and sex involved. As our lips crossed and danced bellow water, small bubbles were released.

"M-Mast… Kireina… W-Why did you do that…? I-I'm not a little girl so you can kiss me like that… I'm an old woman"

"You look pretty young to me, Mady. And even if you are an old woman in merfolk standards, I think that you are a very attractive and beautiful Scylla woman, and deserving of my love, that is why I would appreciate if you called me by my name from now on, as we have bonds between each other, I also want you to consider me as your family"

"F-Family…? I suppose… I've never had a true family in the past, I was always… Alone, I survived the harsh environments in poverty and slowly raised with the abilities I developed. I never had time to develop feelings for anyone, neither think about forming a family… And now look at me, I've even had children… I guess I am the one who has been acting childish, being so cold, and seeing our relationship as just sex… I'm sorry, Kireina"

"It is fine, I'm glad that you were able to realize it, and it's not like I don't like your usual attitude, it is very appealing…"

"Oh? Fufufu… I see~ Tell me more, Kireina~"

"A-Ah…! Now I'm the one flustered…"

For the next hours or so, I cuddled with Mady as she embraced me with her tentacles, not in a sexual way but in a lovely way, like two couples cuddling in a futon while relaxing, it was rather heartwarming to have a time like this with Mady, I got to know more about her past as well, she had it quite rough, it seems…

Although the Aquaria Kingdom was rather small, the crime organizations owned almost half of the city, and due to the irresponsibility of the royal family, poverty was very common. Gaby was also raised in these conditions and was even in one of Mady's crime organizations as a thief and a disposable pawn. Well, conditions are way different now, and their lives have improved a lot since then, they have come to good terms and are friendly with each other, so I'm glad.

It seems that Mady had a lot of accumulated love as she cuddled me with her tentacles and kissed me passionately several times, my forehead, neck, cheeks, etc. She was excessively lovely, but it's not like I didn't like it it was very pleasant to receive so much love.

Mady wanted to stay in the pool so I decided to do some more changes inside, forming a "bubble" where she would rest if she wanted to dry out, there was also food stored there and she said that she would join dinner later in the day.

After Mady it was time for Adelle, who was peacefully sleeping in the bed, her belly was buffed like a balloon, and her petite body seemed a little bit off, giving a funny sight. Adelle is already an adult woman by merfolk and human standards, but her species gave her a petite appearance, even after evolving, she only gained medium-sized breasts and a slightly larger torso, but her adorable appearance remained.

She was relaxingly sleeping so I decided to massage her belly with a special secreted slime that I use to relax muscles and tension, it seemed to work quite well, as Adelle seemed to sleep more peacefully. I stuck at her side with Nephiana who was also in the room taking care of our eggs…

Ah, so many children, although it's tiring, it makes me happy that my family is growing bigger.

The Spirit Girls, Nereid, Kjata, Smilkas, and Ocypete came today as well, bringing more desk games and snacks, but I asked them to play silently to not wake up the sleeping queen of Aquaria.

However, it seems that Adelle has a strong sense of hearing because she woke up even when the girls didn't make any sound other than the movements of their limbs or the occasional "crunch" when eating snacks.

"Fuuh… Muh? M-My wife… Ah! Did I fell asleep? H-How embarrassing…"

"It's fine, you need to rest, Adelle, the baby suddenly grew too big today, so it drained a lot of your energy… Here, I've brought you some food"

Opening my Item Box, I showed Adelle a large desk filled with bento foxes with different preparations and several other snacks, fruits, and seeds.

"Uaah~ How blissful~ My wife, thank you," Said Adelle as she began to eat, starting with a bento fox with colorful rice and grilled Centipede Whale slices which were decorated with a delicious sweet sauce and pickled vegetables. The food was still warm thanks to the Item Box's ability to maintain food from discomposing or going cold.

"I will make some tea as well, girls, do you want some?"

"Ooh! I would like some!" (Nereid)

"Master tea is the best~!" (Smilkas)

"Please" (Kjata)

"I-If you say so…" (Ocypete)

"Yess! Teaa!" (Nephiana)

"Y-Yesh, I need to… ogueh…"

"Adelle, don't talk while you're eating…"

Well, aside from Adelle almost choking while eating, things went quite well today. I spent some hours with Adelle until it was around 6 PM, where I went to the Dungeon with most of my wives and children, doing the daily grind for Experience Points and dinner's food. Eating Calamity Dragon every day its one of the incredible luxuries that I can enjoy.

I used this opportunity to use my Chaos Attribute Spells and Sin of Lust Skills, [Alluring Martial Arts] had several unique Techniques that were unlocked as it leveled up, they were as strong as some of the techniques I've obtained after fusing, and the Ultimate Techniques that I obtained when I ate those Veteran Adventures cannot compare to them.

There was [Sadistic Heel Kicks], which enhanced my legs with all of my Charisma Stat and also Illusion Attribute Magic, and alongside the Heels that I equipped, the power of the attacks created bloody holes in the hard skin of the Calamity Dragon Athos. If I coupled these with other techniques and created combos, I could even use my own limbs as weapons instead of having to equip so many when I fight.

[Furious Slaps of the Demoness] were a series of attacks that I could use with my bare hands as if slapping an opponent, but they packed the power of more than several punches, using the same rules as the previous Technique, it enhanced my power based on my Charisma stat coupled with my Strength stat, and even my Magic Stat if I enhanced my hands with Illusion Attribute magic, creating mirages at the same time to confuse opponents.

And lastly, [Love Smash], a simple blunt attack that I could use with any weapon, even sharp weapons like the Odachi, it created the mirage of my love, solidified into a sturdy hammer, that could crush the bones of dragons with ease. The more I loved others, the stronger the hammer would be, it was perfect for me as I possess a large family, but maybe if a Sin of Lust was a loner or didn't really love its subordinates or close servants, it would probably be a very weak attack.

As the Dungeon leveled up due to the task completed by Zehe and the Rin Sisters, the monsters naturally became stronger and yielded slightly more Experience Points, the former area that was the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon and the Elemental Shrines were slowly expanding, and some reached the outside of the Grand Forest, creating entrances in the middle of the Vast Plains and near Athetosea, it was convenient if any person there wanted to enter.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 18.012.094.000 EXP!]

[Kireina] Level has increased!]

[LEVEL 062/250 EXP 13.214.042.933/27.400.000.000]

Now that the Centaur Girls had leveled their [Superhuman Strength] Skill up to level 5, they were very strong, capable of slaying a Lesser Chaos Dragon with enough teamwork and patience. They were rather ready for any menace that there could back in the Cilane Kingdom, so I considered going there in the following days, perhaps in two or three more days.

After the training, we left the corpses that would be our dinner in the Royal Kitchen, which had went through countless expansions and became so big that it composed around 40% of the entire castle, and while we waited for the food to be ready, I went with my family to my room so we could have some Aura Classes.

There, I answered several questions and showed various examples. Adelle and Mady were present as well, and interestingly enough, awakened their Auras fully, being able to mold them with more ease. Mady's Aura was named [Bewitching Illusionist Aura] and Adelle's was named [Heavenly Seas Aura], both having their respective dominant Attributes.

If everyone managed to fully awaken their Auras, they would receive a substantial boost to all of their stats and also the ability to reinforce their abilities with them, surpassing their limits.

My children were the most talented in the handle of Aura, while my human wives were the most troubled by it, it seems that Humans have a harder time detecting Aura and using it correctly, but they are slowly advancing. The girls needed to level their sense skills, just like Nixephine, if they wanted to properly see their Auras and control them with their thoughts.

After a nice dinner, we all went to bed, Adelle cuddled with me this time, as we were embraced by Brontes, Nesiphae, and Nixephine's large arms, it was very comforting. Rimuru also infiltrated and slept over my belly alongside Ailine and Mao.

[The Levels of the [Tyrannical Empress Glorious Command; Level 2], [Love Connection; Level 3], [Lustful Ecstasy Nectar; Level 4], [Pleasure Mind Attack; Level 5], [Greater Sexual Resiliency; Level 4], [Brainwash Master; Level 2], [Charming Tower; Level 2], [Love Extraction; Level 2], [Sexy Provocation; Level 2], [Savage Love; Level 2] and [Alluring Martial Arts; Level 2] Skills have increased!]
