Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend exited the obscure hallway and arrived at the first floor of the inn.

Currently, Zenya was barring entry to all of the new customers.

"Sorry customer, this establishment is closed for the day," Zenya said to a male customer who just entered the inn.

"Oh, I will come back tomorrow then."

The male customer nodded his head and left.

Lawrend looked at the receptionist table, and he saw a pure white catgirl packing up some small accessories on it.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lawrend waved at her with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Customer. We have urgent renovations to the inn so you can come back another time," The pure white catgirl raised her head and said to Lawrend apologetically.

"No, no, no. I'm not a customer."

Lawrend shook his head.

"You aren't? Then what are you doing here?" The pure white catgirl asked.

"My name is Lawrend. What is yours?" Lawrend introduced himself to her and extended his hand.

"M-My name is Jania," Jania responded shyly and took Lawrend's hand.

"I'm the one freeing you girls," Lawrend said to her with a smile.

"So you're the human Sister Grape talked about!" Jania nodded her head in understanding.

"So, what were you doing?" Lawrend asked her again.

"I'm gathering my things," Jania replied as she continued collecting the accessories.

"Do you want me to help you?" Lawrend asked her with a kind smile on his face.

"That will be helpful! Can you collect these earrings and bracelets into this bag?" Jania asked Lawrend.

"Uhh… Where did you get these?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.

There are so many pairs of earrings and bracelets.

"It was from the nice customers. They gave it to me," Jania answered Lawrend with a smile.

"Wow…" Lawrend was left speechless hearing her words.

"Anyways, I will go help Sister Grape. See you later, Lawrend," Jania bid farewell to Lawrend. She ran up the stairs and disappeared.

"..."

Lawrend could only shake his head and watch her leave. He looked at the accessories in front of him and placed them all inside the brown bag she gave him.

Lawrend waited for almost an hour. He saw several guests leave the inn with Grape, Amene, and Jania helping them leave.

"See you, Customer!" Zenya waved to the last customer to leave the inn.

"Is that all?" Lawrend asked them.

Amene, Grape, Zenya, Jania, and 20 other catgirls stood in front of Lawrend.

"That's all, Master!" Grape responded to Lawrend immediately.

"Master..?" Lawrend asked her as he blinked his eyes in confusion.

"Yes. From now on, I'm your Maid!" Grape said to Lawrend with a smile.

"Wha—?"

Lawrend stared at her in shock. He didn't expect her to suddenly declare herself to be his maid.

"What? You don't want me to, Master?" Grape asked Lawrend teasingly.

"Hmmm… Let me think for a while," Lawrend replied to her, and he held his chin in thought.

A few minutes later, Lawrend opened his mouth and said, "Fine, but you can only be a maidservant."

"A maidservant? What is the difference of it to a maid?" Grape asked Lawrend curiously.

"It has the same meaning, but if you are my maidservant, you are my maid and not at the same time. My maids can do stuff that maidservants cannot," Lawrend explained to her.

"I'm only a maidservant..?" Grape asked Lawrend, downcast.

"Mm. I already chose Amene to be my catgirl maid, actually," Lawrend replied to her.

"Ah!" Amene moaned in surprise.

"Lucky you, Amene," Grape said to her with a forced smile.

"L-Lawrend, I can be the maidservant instead," Amene said to Lawrend. She felt bad seeing the face Grape was making.

"Amene, do you know what the word 'maid' means?" Lawrend asked her.

"Someone who wears a maid uniform and takes care of the Master?" Amene replied to Lawrend, unsure.

"What you said is correct but that's not all. A maid means someone who is a 'maiden', or in other words, a virgin. You now know why I can't accept Grape, right?" Lawrend asked her.

"No…"

Grape's face fell hearing Lawrend's explanation. She now finally understood why Lawrend couldn't accept her. If only she can go back in time…

"..." Amene was silent.

She didn't expect that Lawrend had placed so much thought into this.

"Anyways, all of you, be ready. We will sneak out tonight," Lawrend looked at the group of catgirl maids gathered in front of him.

Seeing so many of them, Lawrend couldn't help but have fantasies. He can imagine that they are experts in 'that' field.

'I shouldn't take advantage of their gratitude to do something like that,' Lawrend thought to himself and shook his fantasy out of his head.

"Yes, Master!" All of the catgirls responded.

"Prepare your things. Make sure it's compact."

"Yes, Master!"

…

Late midnight came. Lawrend exited the inn and looked left and right. There were barely any humans walking around.

"Go!"

Lawrend raised his hand into the air.

*Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh*

Several shadows left the door of the inn and scattered all around the streets. They were the catgirl maids wearing black hooded cloaks.

"Master," Amene called out to Lawrend as she walked towards him.

"Follow me," Lawrend ordered without glancing at her.

Lawrend walked through the streets and headed towards one of the town's walls. He inspected it from afar and observed if there were any guards.

'Not this one,' Lawrend thought to himself. He saw a guard patrolling above the wall.

He continued walking along the town's walls. Meanwhile, dozens of shadows followed behind him from multiple angles. Lawrend ordered them to disperse so it's not easier for them to be caught.

Seeing their expertise, Lawrend was impressed. He thought that it would take some effort. It seems like they had not forgotten their strengths as part of the Yttervia Demihuman Cat Tribe.

After almost circling for an hour, Lawrend finally found a part of the wall that was empty.

"Go!"

Lawrend raised his hand and pointed to the top of the wall.
