Cami and Vala were both satisfied with the personalized fanservice I gave them, so it was time to move on to my next target.

And the next target available, who I spotted first, was Delphi.

Delphi was done playing around and just sitting on the beach with her legs against her chest, and she looked pretty lonely, but I assumed everything was alright because: one, she was Delphi; and two, because her tail was swishing from side to side pretty casually.

And as soon as I got close to her, she sniffed the air and her tail began to wag even faster.

I didn’t have much time.

I lunged forward, crashing onto the sand, and wrapped my arms around her to cover up her eyes with my hands before she could turn around and see that it was me.

This position also placed my head right behind her on the ground, meaning that her delightfully fluffy tail was swishing right against my face.

I was the one who was supposed to be giving her fanservice, but… instead, I was the one receiving it if anything.

“Guess who,” I said, getting to the point of why I had covered up her eyes.

“Master!” Delphi answered immediately.

“Wrong.”

“I—I am?! Then if you’re not Master, but you sound and smell like Master…”

What happened next happened so quickly that I had no chance to even process it as it was happening. All I knew was that Delphi broke free and that she was now standing above me, one foot down against my back, while she gripped my right arm by its wrist to pull it up and backward.

“Who are you and what have you done with Master?!” Delphi shouted at me. “Strangers taking Master’s place so that they can do bad things to us behind his back without us realizing it isn’t allowed! This isn’t that kind of world!”

“It was a joke! A joke!” I shouted, feeling some actual pain from her holding my arm like that. Then again, her getting so serious to protect herself against a supposed imposter taking my place felt pretty good. I would always protect her no matter what, but it was nice to know that she could easily protect herself. I mean, there I was, basically a god, and I was pinned down to the ground and felt like she was about to break my arm.

“That’s exactly what an imposter pretending to be Master would say!”

I half expected her to buy my explanation a bit too easily, but instead… she didn’t buy it at all. “Let me prove it then!”

“But if you’re a good enough imposter, you would be able to prove it no matter what!”

She had a point there. “What if I get Window to come and vouch for me?”

“If you’re an imposter… there’s no telling who else might be an imposter. Everybody here could be an imposter! Wait… oh no. Even I could be an imposter without realizing it! I can’t trust anybody, not even myself!”

“And what are you going to do to yourself if you’re an imposter?”

“I know how to test myself to see if I’m an imposter or the real Delphi.”

“Yeah?” My arm still felt like it was about to break at any second while we talked.

“Delphi,” Delphi said to herself, “no more soup ever again!”

I blinked a couple of times and then noticed something.

She was crying.

Delphi began to seriously cry with tears rolling down each of her cheeks just at the sound of telling herself no more soup ever again.

“O-okay, I’m the real Delphi,” Delphi said. “Only the real Delphi could ever feel so much heartbreak from being told no more soup.”

“I love you, Delphi.”

“Ehehehe, I love you, too, Master!”

“Wait, you know it’s the real me now?”

“I’ve known from the start. No imposter could ever get past my nose.”

“Then why are you holding me like this and interrogating me?!”

“Hmm… I dunno. I thought it’d be fun. You always play around with others and act all dramatic back and forth, so I wanted to try it, too!”

“You can let go of my arm then!”

“Oh, right. Ehehe.”

Finally, my arm was freed from pain and no longer on the verge of snapping at any second.

“You’re a pretty strong girl, Delphi,” I said, standing up and rubbing my arm.

Hearing that, Delphi flexed her biceps and showed me a wide grin as her tail wagged ever faster behind her. “I’ve gotta be! I’m a knight, so it’s my duty to protect everybody!”

I couldn’t resist, so I reached forward and poked one of her biceps. She actually had some muscle going on there when she flexed. There wasn’t really enough muscle to always be casually visible, but while flexing? She could show it off. “For somebody who looks as soft as you do, you’ve got some gains underneath all that softness.”

“I would hope so! Me and my knights don’t train in the tower for nothing!”

“Train?”

Delphi excitedly nodded her head. “We’ve got a whole gym in my tower! Whenever there’s nothing else to do, we work out together in there!”

“Delphi, are you actually a musclehead?”

Delph tilted her head to the side. “I don’t think so? I just like working out whenever I’m not playing, fighting, or doing lewd stuff with you. It helps me stay fit! But… I feel like my body is broken. They say that working out is supposed to make you lose weight, but I feel like the more I work out, the more weight I gain here.” She lifted her breasts up to demonstrate where “here” was. “I think something is backwards in my body.”

“So… you’re saying that the more you work out, the bigger your boobs get?”

“Exactly! That’s crazy, right? That’s not supposed to be how it works!”

I felt like we were being watched. Given the topic, I had a pretty good idea who it was doing the watching.

And I confirmed my theory by looking off to the right where I saw Cami in the distance with binoculars and headphones as she took notes on a piece of paper.

For some reason, I had a feeling that if Cami tried to exercise to increase her breast size… she was probably just going to make them shrink if anything.

But that aside, it was time to get to the point. “Delphi,” I said.

“Yeah, Master?” Delphi replied before widening her eyes for a moment. “Oh! Wait!”

“What?”

Delphi then grabbed my head by the sides and pressed her lips against my own for a kiss. “Okay! Master kissed! I repeat, Master has been kissed!”

She was too cute, so I did exactly what she did and then said, “Delphi kissed. I repeat, Delphi kissed.”

“Ehehe. You’re cute, Master.”

“A cute girl deserves a cute boy. Anyways, it’s time for your fanservice.”

“Can I just have soup instead?”

“That’s the thing, Delphi. To you, soup is fanservice. And if you look to our left,” we both looked toward the ocean, “we have the world’s biggest soup right next to us.”

“Ah… the original soup. The primordial soup!” Delphi clapped her hands together and looked like she was praying before the world’s first and biggest soup. “What a blessed day.”

“You know how we can make it an even better day?”

Delphi’s ears twitched. “How?”

“By making soup with the original soup.”

“Oooooh! Yes! Let’s do it! We’re gonna make the best soup ever using the original soup!”

“So, since we’re at the ocean, what kind of ingredients would go best with it?”

Delphi went from looking energetic and excited to focused and serious in an instant. “Hmm. Given just how salty the ocean is, it’s going to be a very salty soup. Some may even say too salty, and salty to the point where it poses a serious risk of dehydrating whoever eats it, but you or Window can make dehydration not exist, so we don’t need to worry about that. So, the question becomes, what do we add to the soup to work with all that salt while also staying thematic with the ocean theme? Hmm. I’m thinking… seaweed, crab, garlic, fish sauce, and sesame oil. It’ll be similar to miyeok-guk, crab instead of steak. We should also dilute the primordial soup stock a little just to cut down on the salt. Just because the ocean is the first true soup doesn’t mean that it’s flawless, and its saltiness would be too overpowering without any alterations.”

“Mi-oh-what?”

“Miyeok-guk! It’s a Korean soup that’s usually served for birthdays or to celebrate giving birth!”

“You really know your soups.”

“Of course I do! What kind of soup enjoyer would I be if I didn’t know of every single soup in all of time?!”

“Fair enough. So, should I just snap my fingers and spawn all the ingredients for you?”

Delphi nodded as her tail wagged. While she might have been obsessed with soup, she didn’t care about how the ingredients were obtained. All she cared about was having the ingredients at all so that she could make soup with them.

Then she reached between her breasts, pulled out a large, metal pot that should absolutely not have been able to fit between them, and ran over to the water.

Now, there were probably concerns to be had when it came to just… scooping water directly out of the ocean to use for a soup. Realistically, there was all sorts of nasty, potentially dangerous bacteria in there that wouldn’t be safe to consume. The ocean was, after all, pretty disgusting even before humans managed to try and fuck it up with pollution, climate change, plastic, and more.

But it was naturally disgusting.

And we lived in a world where we didn’t have to worry about things being disgusting, whether they were artificially disgusting or naturally disgusting.

Therefore, it was fine to make soup using the ocean.

It didn’t take long to get everything ready after I snapped them into existence. The crab came pre-shredded, the garlic cloves were pre-minced, and everything was pre-healthy-and-safe-to-eat. All that was left was to toss them all together into the pot full of slightly diluted ocean water so that they could simmer together.

And of course, I sped up local time around the soup so that it could simmer for just as long as it needed to while also being done within a convenient amount of time for us seeing as how I still had quite a few other wives to go through for providing fanservice. Even so, I made sure that we had some time to kill before the soup was ready, and Delphi wanted to spend our waiting time together by burying me under sand.

So, there I was, on my back on the beach, covered up by sand… and Delphi built two massive mounds of sand on my chest t hat put even her own chest to shame.

I ended up feeling like we were being watched again. That time, when I looked around to see if I could spot Cami, I saw her burying herself under sand in the distance and giving herself two even bigger mounds of sand over her chest.

She looked pretty happy with that from what I could see.

Cami might not have been able to grow bigger breasts, but she could always make herself some bigger ones… as long as they were made out of sand.

“The soup is ready!” Delphi shouted out, seemingly completely out of nowhere. It wasn’t like there was a timer or anything that told us when it was done. She just… knew. She shouted it out with so much confidence that it was like an obvious fact the soup was done. Of course it was done. How could somebody not know it was done?

Maybe her nose could tell when it was done? Via the power of how it smelled?

Or maybe Delphi just innately knew whenever any and all soup were ready.

Regardless, Delphi left me on my own to dig myself out from underneath all the sand as she ran over to the pot which was hanging over a firepit.

Delphi already returned to me with a bowl and spoon by the time that I was done earning my freedom from the sand.

“Soup, Master!” Delphi said, holding the bowl out to me.

“Soup, Delphi,” I replied, taking the bowl and spoon from her.

I waited for her to come back with her own soup before taking any.

“Cheers,” I said, gently tapping my bowl against hers.

Delphi smiled and rocked from side to side, almost spilling some of her soup, but being careful to not let even a single droplet of it escape the bowl. “Cheers!”

With that, I took a spoonful of soup and finally tasted it.

And…

“Delphi, this is—what even is this flavor?” I asked as my tastebuds experienced a world of pleasure that I didn’t even know was possible. Whatever that flavor was in my mouth, it was the most beautiful, perfect, delicious flavor that I could have never even imagined. It was almost as if fluff had a flavor! No, fluff had a flavor. I tried it before. Between the dog sisters’ ears and tails, Clawdia’s, and various other fluffs that I inevitably had in my mouth before, none of them quite tasted... good. Amazing and perfect to touch, yes, but they didn’t taste good which could be considered the only true flaw of fluff.

But this?

This tasted beyond good. Simply saying it tasted good, or even like the most delicious flavor in the entire world, was doing a disservice to just how incredible it was.

So then, what was it?

What was that flavor in my mouth transcending my tastebuds to a higher plane of existence?

“Happiness!” Delphi answered.

“Happy—happiness?” I asked with a full mouth of soup.

“Yep! You know, like how when you really love somebody, and you make food for them, it always tastes better because you can taste the love? Well, this has my love in it, but it also has my happiness in it! Because you spending time with me and making soup with me has made me happier than I’ve ever felt before. My heart has felt like it’s going to explode from my chest any moment from just how happy I’ve been. So, all of my happiness overflowed into the soup while making it!”

“So then this taste is your happiness?”

“Yep!”

“Delphi.”

“Yeah?”

“If this is what the flavor of happiness is like… then I’ve got to make you all even happier—no. Saying that wouldn’t be right considering this is a day of me providing fanservice to all of you. In that case, if this is what the flavor of happiness is like, then I have to start cooking for all of you so that you can all taste just how happy you make me.”

“Ehehe, but we already taste how happy we make you every day. Cami and Mariet hog most of it, but we still get to taste it!”

I almost choked on the soup when I figured out what she was implying. “Are you—are you telling me that… you can taste… this happiness flavor… whenever you—”

“Yep! Why do you think we always say how good it tastes? It tastes good because we can taste your happiness and love in it!”

“Somehow, that’s extremely embarrassing.”

“Woah… Master is embarrassed? From something I said? That’s super rare! You usually only get embarrassed when I catch you staring at my chest!”

“I’m just going to finish eating my soup.”

“Ehehe, I got to embarrass Master! I’ve gotta tell Cami and Lavi about this later!”

I might have been embarrassed, but it made Delphi happy, and making her happy somehow managed to make the soup already in my mouth taste even better.

It was time for an experiment.

“Delphi, you’re a good girl,” I said.

Surely enough, upon hearing that, the soup’s already incredibly flavor exploded in my mouth to even grander heights.

The world made even less sense, but it was fun that way. Besides, it was a win-win situation. I got to make my wife happy while also tasting even better soup.

I also learned that I should apparently put more effort into thinking happy thoughts whenever my wives wanted to spend some adult time with me.
