I had divided my body in four for this occasion, so my mind was spread through the four bodies, three of them were with my wives and children, as two of them were feeding milk to any baby that wanted a bit, and the other was with my wives.

I used the fourth I had to talk with the Elder Dragons and then Sakura, and as I saw the cute Arachne go back to her duties, I was greeted by another group of girls who had come here to celebrate with me the triumph over the pesky gods that were trying to mess with my relaxed family trip.

"Hey, why didn't you called us to help you out too?! The Wolves and the Giants are not the only ones that fight in here, idiot!" roared the beautiful young water fairy, with long butterfly wings of aquamarine colors, her appearance resembled a young girl in her early twenties, and she had pale white skin, aquamarine eyes to go with her butterfly wings, and long azure hair made into braids and decorated with flowers. She wore a kimono this time, decorated with paintings of floods and rivers.

"Nereid don't be so rude with Master," said a beautiful young girl, seemingly in her late teens but completely flat, she had a skin color of bright red, her eyes were bright orange alongside her short bobby haircut styled hair. She had many tattoos across her body and a large red gem in her chest, there was also an enormous blazing armor that surpassed four meters floating around her. This armor was her 'true' body, while the smaller body was the projection of her soul, which was wearing a kimono too but decorated with fire and volcanoes painted into them.

"But Kjata! What is the point of training so hard if we are not going to be invited to fight in the big fights?!" asked Nereid angrily.

"Well, I am happy with being in the Empire, but I've leveled a lot… although I haven't evolved yet, I could use the exp gained in big battles other than just dungeons…" said a petite woman with glossy chocolate-colored skin and various colorful jewels spread around her body, she had shiny, almost jewel-like red hair made into twin tails, and her eyes shined in many colors. Her size was small but that was because she was from a race of small people named Gnomes, despite being clearly an adult.

"Yeah, I think the same as Smilkas-san, it wouldn't have hurt if we joined, even if it was just to help out with our buffing spells…" muttered a beautiful harpy, although not as pretty as Nephiana, she was covered in vibrant feathers of several colors, and her body was well developed and voluptuous, giving a womanly charm that not many could simply resist or ignore.

"See? Ocypete agrees too! Kireina, why didn't you invite us?! We are fairly strong as of now!" said Nereid.

To be honest, they never came out into my mind when I thought about bringing strong allies for a battle against gods… they might be strong, but I have not thought about them even joining such battles. But now that I think about it, they have been working very hard to gain my attention and to feel 'useful'… despite all four of them liking the neet life a lot, and spending most of the day in their rooms inside my Castle anyways.

Of course, I would not be a nice Master if I told them that upfront… I suppose now that there is the new Transformation Equipment that can even create mech-like armor bodysuits, even the four spirits will be able to catch up with everyone… Well, there is also the possibility of simply putting some attention into the four and forcing them into a leveling routine at my side. However, even with Split Bodies, I had more important things to do, such as being with my wives and children.

Well, now that I see them again, I cannot help but admit that I do love them, they had grown into my heart as well. Perhaps I just want them to be safe in my Empire instead of having them risk their lives? My wives already are doing it and I cannot simply stop them now that they had grown so strong, but I can still do it with these four girls…

However, now that there are Transformation Equipment of many types being constantly created, they will be able to join without any problems anymore, rendering my reason behind leaving them at home obsolete.

I do love these girls, they have been always with my body that stays at the Empire carrying my child inside my womb, so they are always accompanying me there. Maybe I should express my love more to them, and perhaps embrace them in a hug.

And so, I walked towards them and extended my arms like tentacles, hugging the four in a tight hug of motherly love.

"I love you, girls… I am sorry if I was being a bit too concerned about you, whenever there is a big battle about to happen, I just think about finishing it as fast as possible so I can go back to my family, all four of you are included in that category… Perhaps I am being too foolish with my decisions, I know that you are working hard for my recognition. I should be more thoughtful" I said.

I decided to see their expressions and wait for an answer to what they thought about my words, but I only saw all four of them stiff, as if paralyzed. I was giving them a gentle hug, I hope I was not asphyxiating them.

"Are you okay, girls? Should I stop hugging you? Does it hurt? Sorry…" I said.

As I was about to move my tentacles away as I shapeshifted them into my arms again, I was stopped by Kjata's arms, her cute hands tightly grabbed into my own with a strength that should not belong to her size.

"No… Master, don't stop hugging me" she said.

"M-Master… Such a tight and lovely hug… Fweeehh… My heart is going doki-doki…" muttered Ocypete.

"So, you love us, huh? Fufu" laughed Smilkas with a teasing smile as she glanced at me with her brilliant eyes. I was accustomed to her personality at this point, as I had interacted a lot with her through my body in my Empire, but I could not help but feel entrained into her beautiful irises for a bit.

"Y-You idiot… Master… So, you were worried about us?! What kind of reason is that… Sheesh… I… I also love you, idiot…" said Nereid, glancing at me with a gentle smile while completely flushed, these four girls had suddenly become even prettier in my eyes than they already were for some reason… was this love?

I always loved them, but now that I had them very close, I wanted to express my love in more ways than what could be expressed through words alone.

"I… I'm sorry for being like that, from next week onwards we'll train together, and I will try to bring you all along, okay?" I said. After all, I summoned these girls through my Magic and Skills, I was responsible for them, more than I should be. Although all four seemed to be the reincarnations of people in the past, similarly to Brontes, most memories were erased, and they might need more emotional support than I had thought previously.

"Really?" asked Kjata while having a blush on her usually expressionless face, with her orange irises approaching me, she was getting prettier and prettier.

"Indeed," I said with a smile, petting Kjata's crimson hair, which was silky and soft.

"Do you like me, Master?" asked Kjata as she glared directly at my eyes.

"Uwah! Kjata!!!" roared Nereid, as if she had suddenly stolen her words from her mouth.

The more Kjata approached me, the more I could not help but feel entrained into her beautiful eyes and appearance, her lovely personality, which was often dependent and cute, also made my heart flutter with thoughts about embracing her in the warmth of love.

I glanced at her with my crimson irises as I said: "Of course I love you, Kjata,"

The moment I mustered those words, Kjata's red lips approached mine as she clashed against my mouth with a strong kiss, her passionate lips kissed me as I had never imagined she would be capable of, although she was a tad bit smaller than me, she easily floated over me and embraced me with her fiery love.

"GYAA! I want a kiss too!!!" roared Nereid.

"O-Oh my…" muttered Ocypete.

"That's how it is done! Good job, girl! Go for it!" said Smilkas.

I hugged Kjata's back as I kept kissing her, receiving her fiery love. Out tongues entangled with each other passionately as I could feel the warmth of her mouth, her saliva, and her warm breath. The moment we separated our lips, a trail of saliva was left connecting both of our tongues until it dissipated after a split of a second.

"Would you accept my love, Master?" she asked with a lovely glare of her entrancing eyes.

"I do… would you accept mine as well? After being together for so long, it feels quite awkward to ask you this, I apologize" I said.

"No need to apologize… I love you, and I will always do" said Kjata, kissing me once again, ignoring the rest of the world while immersing herself in her expression of passionate, burning, and fiery love, her body temperature began to rise as she began to sweat heavily alongside me. Despite her body that was kissing being the materialization of her soul, it was capable of doing many things that a flesh body was capable of.

"Haah, I am glad to hear that, I will try to do the best I can to make you happy," I said.

"I… Do not be a dummy, I am already happy with you, and the rest of our family… It is the greatest happiness that I have always had, I feel that even in my previous life, whatever I used to be… I never had such happiness…" muttered Kjata, as she glanced at me with enamored eyes, her gaze quickly shifting to the bulge that rose from below my hips within my kimono…

"Want to do it?" she asked.

"Ah well, perhaps later?" I asked.

"Sure thing," she said.

Kjata was the first Spirit I summoned, and she has been accompanying me ever since. At first, she was simply an enormous flaming living armor that had a mechanical voice, but after undergoing a few evolutions, she gained a greater mind and regained more of her past life emotions and personality, showing her body as she saw herself through the materialization of her soul. Of course, her living armor that was covered in flames was still floating atop us.

"UEH?! You already going to do it?! What about me?! Master! Notice me!" roared Nereid as I finally let go of Kjata, she approached me with watery eyes.

"You said that you loved me, right?! T-Then… kiss me too and tell me that again! Idiot…" she said. She seemed more frustrated than usual and I did not want her to be like this any longer.

"Very well then, prepare yourself, fufu" I said with a playful smile liking my lips and embracing Nereid as she was in midair, bringing her down into my lips as she released a surprised expression, her aquamarine eyes opened wide, as she received my kiss, something she had wanted the most for a long time.

I felt her breath inside of my mouth as she felt mine, I quickly caught her evasive tongue as I licked it with my own, without letting her go at all, this was what she wanted after all, didn't she?

She began to release small tears from her eyes as I felt that I might have gone too aggressive, separating our lips.

"Did I go too far? I apologize…" I muttered.

"N-No… I am not crying out of sadness, but happiness, idiot… This… I've always wanted this…" said Nereid while finally being honest with her heart.

"Even more since I saw you grow from a tiny butterfly… It all has gone so fast… and I always felt as if I… was left out" said Nereid.

"Nereid… I would never… I'm sorry" I said, hugging her tightly as our butterfly wings rested. Her warm chest bounced against mine as I kissed her neck and forehead, cleaning her tears.

"Don't cry anymore, I will always be here to love you and accompany you, I might have been a bit stupid before, but I've grown more than you could expect already. I have had dreams that seemed to last eternities, my mind has developed to extents that I could not simply compare to my past self… I'm sorry that this idiot needed so much time to finally let you love her," I said.

"It's fine… It is fine… As long as you understand… Idiot…" said Nereid while crossing her arms, her breasts bounced once more as her pale white skin released sweat and an alluring scent that made me want to voraciously embrace her in love in a bed.

"Nereid too, we'll do it tonight," said Kjata with a smile.

"Eh? AH! W-Well… I guess I am finally ready… This is going quite fast now…" said Nereid.

"Didn't you want it though?" I said with a smile as Nereid released a blush and averted her gaze from mine, meanwhile, Ocypete approached me timidly.

"K-Kireina-sama, now that Kjata-chan and Nereid-chan are out of the way, could you kiss me as well?" she asked politely, although she was very cute, this sounded rather awkward, nonetheless.

"Well, I am also included into the mix, right? I can't say that I'm ready, but it's been quite long since I had some sex, fufu" said Smilkas as she paired up with Ocypete…

This night was going to be exceptionally long, it seemed.
