Chapter 1422: How To Get A Rich Patron
I’m surprised that the Mayor of Nomed Metropolis actually wanted to continue this relationship…
Not only that… She’s even volunteering to be my slave too…
Well… The thing is that I named her so I was thinking that her feelings for this matter might be a bit skewed because of that.
When I pointed that out however, she assured me that it was most definitely not the case and her proof for saying that was basically her pulling out a bunch of my books that she had kept in god knows where.
That was when I remembered she’s the lewd artist who drew all the lewd poses and stuff…
Right… She’s probably the same as Minnera and she wants to follow me because of the same reasons…
“What about the city though?” I asked as we returned to her tower.
Lilith patted her chest, “You don’t need to worry, Lady Aster!! I did mention I have capable subordinates didn’t I? In truth, I have been wanting to step down for a while now and I have been working towards that goal for a long time!”
“I guess that’s a normal goal for most working people to have… But what were you going to do after you stepped down?”
“Of course it’s to draw all the lewd fanart and doujins of your stories and be a professional doujin artist, Lady Aster!! But now I’ve found something even better to do where I can be your slave!! Of course I would choose to be your slave instead!”
I don’t even know how to respond to that so I said the only thing that came to mind, “Errr… Thanks?”
“Ehehehe~ I should be thanking you, Lady Aster!! I never thought that I would ever be able to be so close to you, much less be your slave in this life of mine! Ahhhhh!! Just thinking about it is making me squirm~”
The demoness squirmed cutely in front of me while hugging herself.
Lisa giggled beside me, “Ehehehe~ You always find the really interesting ones, Aster~”
I turned to raise an eyebrow at her, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“Mmmm~ Does Aster think I’m interesting too?”
I went ahead to give my horny Infrid a spank on her ass, making her let out a cute yelp.
We stepped onto the elevator that brought us to another floor where it looked like she was using it as her office.
Though I’m not even sure if this could be called an office since it looked more like a bedroom than anything else.
Somehow, I have a feeling that every room here doubles as a bedroom as well… And for obvious reasons…
As though worried that I would have the wrong idea, Lilith quickly waved her hands in front of her.
“Ahhh! Those beds are not for me, Lady Aster!! I’m just putting them there in case I needed some inspiration or references and I would get some of my subordinates to help me out!!”
I cleared my throat, “Ahem… There’s no need to worry. I know.”
The succubus let out a sigh of relief before she ushered for me to follow her towards the single desk and sat me down in front of her.
I thought my girls would take the couch nearby but they all chose to crowd around me instead, opting to stand beside me.
Well… We’re just here to talk about what our future plans are, especially since Lilith seemed intent to relinquish her position as the Mayor of this city in order to follow me.
Yet, she doesn’t even know what I plan to do after this so I felt it would be important for me to let her know about our plans first.
“So… Ahem… As you might know… We’re only here to deal with that Demon Lord problem and we’re planning to leave this place for Aerialla Academy once we’re done. Are you sure you’re ok with that?”
She pumped her fists, “I’ll follow wherever Lady Aster goes!! No wait! I’m your slave now so I should be calling you Mistress! I’ll follow you wherever, Mistress!!”
I grimaced, “I mean… Are you really sure about this? You don’t really know anything about me and you’re giving up everything just to follow me?”
“In this short time that I have been with you, I have already decided that I will give my everything to you, Mistress!! Please let me follow you!!”
She really sounds serious about this, huh…
“But demons are being persecuted aren’t they?” I pointed out.
She gestured towards me, “That’s why I shall remain at your side as your slave, Mistress!! If I’m your slave, then I will be fine!!”
Well… There’s also one other secret that I feel that she should know what she’s getting into…
“Umm… You know that I’m an Off-Worlder… Right?”
She nodded her head enthusiastically, “Of course! Of course! Ehehehe~ There’s no one else who would be able to write your books after all!”
“Right.. Umm… So I was reincarnated here… Which means ummm… I have a family. I’m not very sure if you are familiar with the families of this World?”
She stared at me for a moment before she spoke again, “For you to say that… That means you were born into some notable family, right? Umm… Please don’t tell me you were born into one of those Slaver families in Modgnik or something…”
“Ah, no, no… My family is in Lehcarouc Kingdom… I’m not sure if you are familiar with that place?”
She let out a sigh of relief, “Oh… That place is fine. If you were from Modgnik, I might need to prepare myself for some harsh training by your family or something… But if it’s just Lehcarouc Kingdom, that’s completely fine~ So which family are you from?”
“The Nilm Family. Are you familiar with them?”
She stared at me for a moment before she let out what could have been a nervous laugh, “Ahaha… Sorry, I think I may have been a little distracted by your boobs, Mistress! Mmm~ They really are beautiful though… So big and soft~ Ahem~ But I think you said something about the Nilm Family? There’s no way, right? Ahahaha~”
I waited for her to finish laughing as her laughter slowly faded away until she realised that I was just staring straight back at her with a look that told her I was not joking.
She gulped, “Mistress… Are you…”
I nodded, “I am…”
“You’re born into the Nilm Family?”
“That’s correct.”
“Wasn’t the family known for the Matriarch not being able to bear children?”
“It was a miracle granted by the gods. Like literally… You know… Since I’m an Off-Worlder.”
“Then… It’s the same family that supposedly controls the World?”
“Huh? Err… I don’t think that’s true? I know that we have our hands in Lehcarouc Kingdom and we have a lot of influence there… But I’m not too sure about controlling the whole World…”
Lilith just remained staring at me for another good long minute before she spoke again.
“Wait, wait, wait!! This is huge you know?!! Are you really from the Nilm Family?! Because if you’re just pretending to be them, you’ll get killed you know?! They definitely don’t like other people trying to use thier name when you aren’t one of them!”
I gestured to the side, “Please focus your attention on the maid uniforms they are wearing. There’s an enchantment to cloud your perception so you really have to focus on it. What do you see?”
She paused again before shifting her gaze to the maids in question.
“Those… Are the Nilm Family maid uniforms… For you guys to be able to get them… You definitely have to be from the Nilm Family…”
I cleared my throat, “Ahem… So err… Would it be a problem for you if I am from the Nilm Family?”
She quickly shook her head, “No, no!! Not at all! In fact, I’m still in shock that I actually managed to meet someone from the Nilm Family like this!! I thought that for sure, after what that I’ve learned about this Family… I thought that the only time I would meet someone from there would be when they wanted to kill me or something… Hmm… I suppose being enslaved by one of their children comes quite close I suppose~”
I cleared my throat, “I’m an only child…”
She paused again, “On… Only child? Wait… That means… I’ve become the slave of the only heir of the Nilm Family?!!”
“Err… Yes.”
She leapt off her seat and vaulted over the desk to fall onto her knees in front of me, her hands grabbing onto mine.
“Waaahhh!! Mistress!! I belong to you!! I will serve you for life!! Please don’t abandon meeeee!!”
Err… That’s surprising… I didn’t expect her to react this way… Why is she like this?
As if reading my mind, Minnera leaned over and whispered in my ear, “Aster… This is basically an artist finding a really rich patron… As long as she serves you, she can draw all the art she wants and she doesn’t need to worry about her art making any Creas at all. Also, she obviously has a big crush on you.”
Ah… I got it, I got it.
In that case… Welcome to the family, Lilith~
