The trio of girls returned to their rooms while Seraphine, Luna, and Marissa had a sibling chat. Seraphine was especially pleased to see that Marissa was now able to walk and had found newfound confidence in herself as a duke's daughter. Meanwhile, Hiro was playing with Luna, enjoying teasing her cat-like reactions.
"Mraw! Nya!" Luna exclaimed, grabbing one of Hiro's tentacles. But Hiro's other tentacle attempted to reach for her ears, which Luna dodged with ease. He then dangled his tentacle like a cat teaser wand, and Luna jumped to catch it while still managing to dodge Hiro's attempts at capturing her.
"Hiro... she's a princess, not a cat," Seraphine said with a forced smile. "Luna, stop playing with someone else's symbiote. You might injure it."
"Come on, uncle!" Luna frowned.
"I am your cousin... please don't call me uncle..." Seraphine sighed, visibly taking an emotional hit.
Hiro tilted his head. Seraphine seemed to scold her, but it didn't seem too serious. Did that mean he was implicitly allowing Hiro to play with Luna like this?
Meanwhile, Rebecca was crying on her bed, hugging Hiro as she sobbed. She covered her face with his tentacle. Hiro sighed internally at the girl who had just faced a harsh reality. There was little he could do except caress her head until she fell asleep. Rebecca was a failure. That's why she was cast out. Hiro promised to always cherish her, even if someone better showed up.
Once Rebecca was asleep, Hiro decided to spend time with Nana and Cecile.
Like an eager puppy, Nana was excitedly waiting for Hiro. However, this time, Hiro didn't want to play with her alone. He brought Nana to Cecile's bedroom.
"Eh, Nana?" Cecile was surprised to see her.
"Well, Hiro seems eager for us to play together," Nana said with a sly smile. Nana often serviced Alex together with Rebecca, so she felt no shame doing Hiro with Cecile.
Unlike Nana, who was fully tamed by Hiro, Cecile still felt a sense of shame and tried to cover herself as she lay down on Hiro's bed. But soon enough, all reason flew out the window when Hiro entered her most intimate place. Cecile's body twitched, her belly shook, and her face quickly filled with lust.
"Ahn❤ ..."
Hiro soon entwined his tentacle around Nana while she was massaging her own breasts. He didn't want her to touch herself—he wanted her to pleasure Cecile. Nana obliged. Following Hiro's lead, Nana moved behind Cecile and began caressing her breasts. To further stimulate Nana, Hiro wiggled his tentacle inside her, causing Cecile to moan as she rested her head on Nana's chest.
To reward Nana, Hiro caressed her ample mounds, sending waves of pleasure through her as she continued to touch Cecile's breasts. Cecile could no longer feel any sense of shame as she enjoyed the gentle caresses and the stimulating tentacle working between her legs. Her back arched as pleasure built inside her.
But Hiro stopped. This time, Hiro wanted Cecile to pleasure Nana. He directed Cecile's mouth toward Nana's breasts. Cecile instinctively began licking Nana's breasts, assuming that was what Hiro wanted. He was pleased that they understood his intentions despite his inability to speak.
"Ah!❤" Cecile moaned as Hiro started moving his tentacle inside her once more.
Hiro wanted to condition Cecile and Nana to find pleasure in giving pleasure to each other. By stimulating their pleasure when they pleasured each other, he hoped they would learn to enjoy both giving and receiving. He wanted his harem to remain harmonious and supportive. Hiro had learned from his "academic materials" that if his harem members felt jealousy, it could lead to trouble later when all of them desired his attention.
Maybe it wouldn't be a problem. Hiro was no longer human; technically, he could satisfy everyone with his tentacles. Regardless, he wanted to see a threesome between Nana and Cecile! He wanted them to pleasure Hiro's tentacles and each other to the best of their abilities.
"It feels good... Mmm... Chu...❤" Cecile licked Nana's breast, and Nana moaned, her pleasure mixed with a sense of satisfaction. She felt she was being rewarded for her actions.
"Ah! I'm going to cum... ❤ Master Hiro..." Nana moaned. However, Cecile was too preoccupied to listen, continuing to lick and massage Nana's other breast with her hand. Sensing Nana was about to climax, Hiro slowed down his movements inside her and increased his pace with Cecile. He wanted them to cum together.
"Unh❤ It's getting faster..." Cecile's eyes went blank as the pleasure built up inside her.
Cecile moaned, her tongue extending as the overwhelming pleasure took over. She no longer remembered to continue licking Nana.
"Cumming!!" Both of them ended up hugging each other as Hiro gave them the peak of pleasure they desired. They basked in the afterglow, their desire subsiding. Hiro decided that was enough for today, so he laid the two naked girls beside each other and wrapped them with his tentacles.
However, Nana had been conditioned to the point that she was no longer satisfied with just one climax. Cecile too was trained to respond to stimulation and was ready whenever she felt it.
And so, with the small bed limiting their movement, Nana began to touch Cecile's breast, yearning for another taste of the sweet pleasure Hiro could give. Hiro was surprised when Nana went to Cecile instead of grabbing Hiro and using him as a tool like she usually did.
The caress within the tentacles was gentle. Nevertheless, Cecile felt it. When the touch rolled around her areola, she began to shudder, goosebumps forming on her skin. Nana soon turned her focus to Cecile's nipple, flicking it playfully. Cecile's body jolted, turned on by Nana's actions. Both Cecile and Hiro were surprised that she could feel this much pleasure from another human. Hiro had thought he had conditioned her to only respond to him.
"Nana..." Cecile squirmed, trying to evade Nana's touch.
"I want more... Let's do it one more time... Are you okay with just one?" Nana asked. Her eyes were unfocused as she craved for yet another pleasure. Her lips started to lick Cecile's ears.
Cecile started massaging Nana's breast as well. Seeing the two girls pleasuring each other, Hiro got back to work on their most sensitive areas. Their bodies jumped when Hiro caressed their cervixes and clitorises. Even after just one session, the girls had already embraced what Hiro had taught them.
Hiro wanted to explore further. His 9000 GB of "academic materials" had taught him about a wide range of things: SM, NTR, anal, deep throat, nipple play, exhibitionism, neglect play, and more. However, his studies often ended with the participants becoming sex-crazed and broken, leaving nothing in their hearts but lust. Hiro didn't want to break these girls, so he played it slow and soft, letting them cum once or as often as they desired, without pushing them further.
The girls were delicate. They had embraced what Hiro taught them and had already started to derive pleasure from it. Nana and Cecile believed that by massaging and pleasuring each other, they would feel the pleasure themselves.
Their hips began to sway as they accepted Hiro's touch. Nana took it a step further, her hand moving toward Cecile's crotch, but Hiro held her hand firmly. He didn't want them to degrade themselves entirely; he needed to remind them that they were his. He wanted them to cum only by his command. Nana quickly regained her senses and realized something was wrong, retracting her hand. Hiro thought the atmosphere was ruined, but Cecile, oblivious to what had happened, continued caressing Nana's breasts. She picked and fondled the breast while being guided by Hiro's tentacle.
Pleasure soon overtook Nana once again, and she began to sway her hips. Hiro entwined his tentacles with their hands, guiding their movements and occasionally flicking their nipples. The pleasure built up slowly. Hiro could make them cum instantly by targeting their G-spot, but he waited, allowing the anticipation to reach its peak. The rhythmic movements of the girls were like a dance. The pleasure built up as moans of pleasure drowned the girls.
The moment came soon enough. When Hiro finally struck their weak spots, Nana and Cecile came simultaneously, releasing seductive moans as they hugged each other, Hiro's tentacles wrapped between their bountiful breasts. The press of their bodies gave sweet pressure to his tentacle, and soon, they both drifted into sleep, their bodies basking in the bliss.
After their release, Hiro made a partition in his bed of flesh, preventing Nana from doing anything else to Cecile. He was satisfied with the development
Morning came, and Cecile realized what she had done with Nana. Likewise, Nana also became aware of what had happened with Cecile. Moreover, they had done it in Marissa's home. Shame filled them as they put on their clothes, unable to look each other in the eye.
Fortunately, no one saw them coming out of the bedroom together. Even if someone did, it wouldn't be strange—they were both women, and people might assume they simply slept together. Any sounds of moaning might be attributed to bonding with their symbiote.
Seraphine, meanwhile, was incredibly busy. With the looming threat of war, his responsibilities had suddenly doubled. He had to serve as a witness before the council, coordinate Litmus' defense plans, report to the king, and console the royal guard trainees who had died during the attack.
When the king heard about the attack, he fortified the village and sent in more experienced royal guards. Thankfully, Litmus had not been at war before, so they could spare the manpower. The economic impact, however, was another issue. Seraphine had to send a complaint letter to Latvin, hoping they would compensate for the damage to Marissa's village.
Latvin's reply, however, was insulting to Litmus. This caused chaos in the court, as they began to genuinely feel the threat of war.
Latvin also sought out Jeremy and Count Evesys for questioning. Upon realizing their failure, Count Evesys was forced to divulge everything—including the fact that Rebecca, Cecile, and Nana were symbiote hosts.
The king of Latvin was distraught. He had just let three golden opportunities slip through his fingers. However, they couldn't afford a war with Litmus at this time. Doing so would mean fighting on two fronts, against both Litmus and Vertia. Even if Litmus was a small country, it had many diplomatic allies. Latvin risked engaging in conflict with at least three other nations if they chose to go to war with Litmus.
As a result, the king sent a superficial letter of apology to King Angus, stating they apologized for what Count Evesys had done and promised that this would never happen again. However, he also stated that he would not be providing any compensation. He justified it by claiming that their symbiote had merely ventured a bit too far during a hunt along the border. Since Litmus regarded symbiotes as citizens, they should understand that sometimes symbiotes could cause havoc. However, Symbiotes were treated as national weapons and must be controlled and supervised at all times in Latvin. So, the letter confused the court in Litmus.
The king knew the letter was rude, but he assumed Litmus wouldn't declare war either. The pact with other countries was a defensive one, and Litmus would risk backlash from their religion and other nations if they acted as the aggressor. As long as Latvin refrained from invading or occupying Litmus' territory, the king believed Litmus would remain pacified.
Thus, the response was sent.
Although the court was in disarray, King Angus found a sense of relief. Keeping Hiro hidden would increase the country's production without inviting envy from their neighbors. Seraphine had proven that Hiro could dismantle monster scales and turn them into ingots. With this capability, Litmus would finally have a viable metal industry, no longer needing to rely on imports.
All that they needed now was time. King Angus was ready to seize the opportunity.
