Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 130: A noon snack?

"Have I been holding myself back again?" Leon questioned aloud, knowing that no one would answer or judge his mindset in his soul.

But because the energy within the sword was something he wasn't aware of, Leon realized a few things that brought mixed feelings to his heart. First, his new path brought out a new kind of energy into the divine sword, so Leon completely purified it and utterly erased the link to the previous owner.

Secondly, Leon had 'somehow' formed that energy. And while having an option unrelated to yin and yang energy, or any other mana, boded well for Leon's future, Leon had an inkling as to what had happened within his bloodline.

"I've been holding myself back… After Louise returned to my side, and when I held her in my arms, I started seriously developing my powers again." Leon clenched his fists, wanting to punch himself.

It felt unfair to Celes, who had endured much pain to bring him back onto his proper path. It was true that Leon adventured again because of her and developed more skills, powers, and understanding of the Freya World. But after returning from The Oracle's Temple, Leon spent two weeks with her and formed a genuine bond, resulting in two quests and warm nights in her soft embrace.

She even helped him deal with Eros!

Yet, Leon hadn't formed a new energy with her and only did with Louise by his side. Did it mean Celes was not a girl for him or was Louise that special?

Leon knew the real answer was connected to his feelings after Louise had disappeared from his life. Back then, he didn't want to progress and wanted to wait for Louise's return. Other than aching because of loneliness, Leon didn't want his adorable fox to miss anything on their journey.

He wanted everyone to be the same.

He couldn't easily cope with his losses.

He wanted to be fair… But that was not possible.

Because of that wish to be fair, he had unconsciously hurt Celes, and she wasn't even aware of it. Celes would be disappointed if she knew, but Leon couldn't imagine her hating him for that. She would be only silently sorrowful.

Leon walked to the sword and sat down before it. "How many colors and designs will you turn into? Should I ever draw a line between myself and girls or let things flow naturally? Who should I be thinking of when I wake up? Should I pick a favorite? When do I step in when girls start arguing? Who do I choose?"

The sword didn't reply to him.

It'd be weird for someone to sleep inside that weapon, and Leon was a man who wouldn't like that. In fact, he was irked by Eros' presence in his soul, so he was glad this man was gone. And while it seemed like Leon asked the sword of the former Eros, he directed those questions at himself.

No one other than him could find the perfect answers to these questions.

"I can't be fair…" Leon sighed and scratched his hair. "Girls in harem relationships aren't fair, too. They can't be fair… When I make the last move, I'll never see them not minding each other's presence. They must be selfish, and so am I…."

Leon didn't intend to go for fake fairness, which would be simply too cruel. Instead, he thought of his feelings and what he should do instead, preparing for the future. He replied to his questions, drawing his own image of the harem. Yes, he had no experience and only once saw a man with a harem.

Leon would improve that in the future. For now, he noted down his answers. In the future, he'd answer his questions again. Perhaps, he'd answer them the same, or something would change. Knowing about this world's view of the harem and how people treated girls, Leon had a few concerns about whether he would change his mindset that much.

"Maybe I'd find an answer to the only question I can't answer now." Leon glanced at the sword and faintly smiled.

"Master, I woke up earlier than you!" Louise proudly puffed out her chest, then pointed at the dragon maid, whose hands held plates with today's breakfast.

Louise was the chef, and she made them for her master! Of course, she took them from the dragon girl, then passed them to her beloved on her own. And then, Louise ordered Alexandra to put the plates for herself, her, and the vampiress. She didn't start her breakfast and stared at Leon.

"At last, Louise made some stuff for me!"

"Umu!"

Because it was the first time Louise used a portable kitchen, she made quick and easy stuff. Leon gulped down his saliva at the tasty-looking toast and scrambled eggs. His fox girl also poured orange juice for her master, secretly smiling at him. And with that, Leon dug into his food, smiling.

He instantly became overwhelmed!

If food in this world were able to tear off people's clothes, Leon would be sitting stark naked!

It was so good that Leon became emotional. "Ah, Louise! It's so tasty! Much better than junk food from the system shop!"

Celes looked at him with narrowed and seemingly dead eyes, languorously parting her lips to eat her portion. "Aren't you exaggerating, Master? It's just normal breakfast…." The vampiress munched and gulped down, confirming her thoughts. "Yes, it's no different than system shop's food."

Leon and Louise ignored that girl.

Alexandra warmly smiled and commented while stroking the kitty's back. "It's delicious because Mistress Louise poured her feelings into her cooking, Mistress Celes."

Celes sighed before wetting her lips with tasty water she had prepared through her alchemy skills. "So much of my kindness… I shall see to her making good sisterly food for me. And you finished yours fast."

Alexandra chuckled and pointed at the kitty. "I shared it with the kitties. Um, Mistress, if you give me permission…." Celes nodded. "I believe it's dangerous for you to… Um, force Mistress Louise to make you delicious sisterly food."

The vampiress scoffed and took out her liquor. "Anything is possible when I get drunk."

"Have you ever… gone drunk?" Alexandra asked in a quivering tone.

Celes often drank, but she never was 'drunk'. But if she purposely allowed the toxic liquid to take reins over her heart and body, then it could go both ways, right? Alexandra's kind heart worried about that vampiress.

Celes just smirked and enjoyed some morning hellish liquid. "It's a joke… or maybe I was serious? Sometimes, I can get so lazy I'd rather get drunk, then I realize I might miss master's snack, which irks me more. But if Louise turns petty and takes master away, I'll let my other self bite that girl."

Alexandra took the best turn and decided to no longer pursue the topic.

After breakfast, Leon spoke about their plans. "We'll adventure to the Heaven Library Guild. And while our carriage moves, I'll book the entire interior for myself now. It shouldn't take me long, but I must be alone for a while."

Celes and Alexandra nodded, with the former thinking aloud of her master's reason to take the whole carriage for himself. She didn't mind sitting outside in the driver's seat with Louise and Alexandra, but what was exactly the reason?

Louise didn't like it because she wanted to cuddle more with her master. She had just returned to his side, so her feelings were justified and understandable, but Leon apologized and told her that it was important to him.

Alexandra remained silent and heeded her master's orders.

Leon replied to Celes' inquiry. "It's related to my weapon. I've thought about it and found out about something new, so I must research it deeply and simply have time for myself."

"Understood." Celes casually nodded and thought of her own plans.

But then, Leon surprised her. "I'll need you around noon."

"I don't mind, Master." Celes' lips curved into a sweet and dangerous smile that she used to tease her little fox sister, who was actually much older than her.

Louise pouted and looked away, her expression similar to before her disappearance, yet her eyes were much different.

And with that, everyone scattered and tended to their business.

Celes sank in her chair and went for a nap, for the morning was too much for her. Louise fished out her cooking book, then decided to kill time with new recipes. She'd soon practice her skills and train her body to keep it in shape.

Alexandra had the same plans but first had to clean the carriage and prepare it for the adventure. She fed the horses and then washed them, letting her kitties have fun on the horses' long backs. Then, Alexandra took care of her curves, practicing a shadow battle with the evil dragon.

The kitties and horses looked at her, amazed.

Louise joined her, and both girls went all out while practicing, creating a few tremors that irked Celes, who had been napping on her sun chair. Alexandra instantly bowed and apologized for that, but Louise stood with her chin high and crossed arms. An argument between them unfolded, and no one could step in!

"I see you're using an umbrella. Stick it up your ass and unfold it, then have your nap in the skies." Louise barked.

Celes tilted her head and glared at her friend with her red eyes shining like robots. "I take care of my skin. Who didn't take a bath last night and had my master suck her blood through a dirty neck? Ah, also, nice skin color, Louise. My race's shade looks good on your pretty face. If you want to take good care of it, beg me for a few tips. A jungle girl like you might need more than a few tips. Still struggling with combing your hair and fox tails? Oh my! You just got another tail! So much trouble!"

"Are you already drunk, you thirsty bitch?" Louise asked with a throbbing vein on her temple and knitted eyebrows.

"I am thirsty, and you are a little bitch. Literally." Celes tilted her head to the other side, her curly bangs following her movement, and sneered at the adorable fox.

Their argument lasted a good while.

It was time to move, then.

The horses howled and pulled the big carriage. A few minutes later, they whined, for their master was an idiot for building such a grand carriage!

Fucking idiot, they thought!

Virgin! Another one added in a loud howl!

May he be a wizard for eternity! The second horse added with a spit!

And with that, the horses were satisfied and pushed the carriage forward.

When noon came, Celes jumped off the moving carriage and used her wings to fly to the door. After knocking on them, the vampiress received her master's approval to enter his booked carriage's interior.

Inside, Celes' eyes expanded at the sight of the divine sword and her master's right arm.

It was orange-red. From his hand to shoulder, Leon had different skin…

Leon stood up and extended his hand, inviting Celes inside. But when Celes grasped his hand, Leon pulled her in, and she landed in his embrace.

Leon instantly snugged her into his nest and stroked her hair, his free arm on her lower back. "I want a noon snack. A rare snack that you surely never expected."

"I, for sure, didn't expect that…." Celes replied slowly, as though she still couldn't believe her ears. "No… I'm really surprised here… I thought you'd be all over Louise and tease and cuddle her for at least a week… I… I'm happy."

Celes couldn't hide that happiness and uncontrollably smiled, peeking into her master's eyes with adorable and melted red irises. Her lips kept widening, and her gorgeous face shone with affection.

And while Leon wanted to explain himself, saying that would only sully the mood.

He'd keep that a secret instead and nurture his vampiress' feelings instead.

"You're forcing me to get the snack done, Celes." Leon slid his finger from her neck up to below her chin, bringing her pretty face up, and getting enough room to devour her soft flesh.

Celes was in a trance, following and reacting to his moves instinctively.

She no longer cared about the divine weapon or his orange-red arm.

She only thought of his hot breath slowly driving her mad. "Master, you don't want me loud, right?"

"Why are you thinking of others now?" Leon's question surprised her.

"I'm… sorry?" Celes didn't know how to answer this unexpected question and soon forgot about everything as her master sank his teeth into her soft neck.

Her blood going crazy over him instantly brought out whimpers of affection that reached Alexandra and Louise's ears.

Leon didn't even want her to control herself as he kept sucking more on her flesh, adding breath-taking licks and kisses.

And then, out of nowhere, Leon's right hand slid into her pants, seizing the soft ass cheek. He stuffed his palm with her lithe softness, kneading that jiggling pudding without mercy.

No, Leon simply wanted to feel that part.

And he knew he had crossed the line. It was Celes' bare ass that he'd attacked!

But at this point, who cared? Celes and Leon surely didn't mind that.
