What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 584  Return From The Market

Bjorn seemed quite satisfied that I would be attending the exhibition, though I felt there wasn't a need to tell him that I don't intend to enter Katsuki as part of the exhibition.

Surprisingly, after I voiced out my participation, most of the other slave traders gave up on trying to sell me their slaves.

When I asked the others, they didn't know why either and I wasn't about to pull those traders back and ask them why.

Oh well, at least that meant it was easier for us to get through the market without being stopped by so many slave traders.

It still took us a while to get out of the market despite that, though I'd admit it was also partially because I was curious what kind of slaves were being sold as well.

None really caught my attention so I returned to the manor with the rest of the girls.

When I walked through the door, Mary was there waiting for us.

"Welcome back, Young Mistress. Shall I take care of the new girl?"

I wasn't even surprised that she knew about our new 'acquisition' and nodded, allowing her to take Crystal's sister from Odeta.

I thought she might carry her away but Mary simply picked up the girl, created a portal, then tossed her into it casually before closing the portal.

Err… Ok…

"Young Mistress, the Madam is waiting for you in her room," Mary continued, as though she hadn't just tossed a girl away like a sack of rice.

"Ah, ok. Umm… You girls could just do your stuff, thanks for accompanying me out there."

"Not at all, Mistress. I am happy to accompany you wherever you go."

"Wahaha! Same here, Sister Aster!"

"Ehehe, maybe we can go somewhere private next time, Aster~"

'I enjoy our time together too!'

They're all so cute.

I went ahead to pat Katsuki's head, then fondled Odeta's abdomen before giving Lisa and Delmare a kiss on the lips each.

The look of bliss on each of the girls' faces was worth it.

I then followed Mary up the stairs to look for Mother in her room.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"Is Young Mistress asking about the new slaves?"

"Mnn, that's right."

"Vehyia and Dehyia are currently instructing them on their duties alongside the other maids. Do not worry, Young Mistress, they will not be allowed to show themselves in front of you while they have not at least displayed a set level of perfection first."

That wasn't what I was worried about but ok…

"And what about Crystal?"

"As Madam had instructed, she would be placed with the Shadow Corps."

"And er… What's the Shadow Corps?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mary gave me a small smile, "I believe the Young Mistress already has an inkling of what they are, haven't you?"

"Are they like the assassins of our family or something?"

"Fufu, they certainly do those kinds of work if needed but it'll be incorrect to call them that. They are the group of servants who would primarily take on the work that has to be done in the shadows. Hence the name."

"Umm… Like what?"

"Assassinations is one of them of course. Intelligence gathering is another."

I gave her a look, "Is it alright for you to tell me this? I'd thought that you would say something like being not allowed to tell me and for me to ask Mother about it."

"The Madam has deemed that you have already experienced enough for such knowledge to be known. Besides, we would be honoured if you would choose to make use of us, Young Mistress."

We reached the door and Mary gave me another bow before opening the door for me.

I stepped inside the room and I was greeted with an unexpected sight.

"Err… Mommy?" I called out.

Mother turned back, completely dressed in a black, skin tight leather outfit that showed off all her curves complete with a domino mask on her face. She was even holding a leather whip in her hands that she was twirling around her hands idly.

"Ara, ara~ Welcome back my little one~ How was your first experience at the market?"

"Umm… It was an interesting experience… But why is Mommy dressed like that?"

"Ufufufu~ Mama just thought that since my little one is going to the slave exhibition, Mama might want to try showing off as well~"

… Err… What?

Mother giggled at my dumbfounded expression, "Ufufufu~ You can look forward to it my little one~ Now come over to Mama~"

She took off her mask and set the whip aside before the leather outfit completely changed back to the dress she had been wearing before.

I then noticed that the mask and whip had also disappeared into thin air like they had been an illusion.

I decided not to question it and went to Mother, letting myself be pulled into her embrace once again while she carried me to the couch at the side of the room.

"You were looking for me, Mommy?" I asked.

"Ufufufu~ I just want to spend more time with my little one~ It's been so long since it was just my little one and me, hasn't it?"

I turned to her, "I mean… We could always just go back to the little cottage back on Dragon Sanctuary, can't we?"

"Ara, ara? Does my little one want to go back there? It has been a while, hasn't it? Ufufufu~ Maybe we can go there and stay for a week or so, what do you say?"

"Erm… If Mommy is fine with it, I don't mind either?"

"Ufufufu~ Then that's settled, Mama will arrange a date for us to go there~"

Well… I also want to see if there's any other Dungeons around there as well aside from the first one I found.

That reminds me…

"Mommy… What's going to happen to Crystal?"

"Ufufufu~ You mean your new slave?"

My new… Oh wait… I actually didn't think about it but I suppose it's kind of accurate to say that I got myself a slave from Emilia since Crystal was a slave from the start. She's even wearing the slave collar too.

I nodded, "I suppose so?"

"Ufufufu~ You don't need to worry my little one, she'll be trained into a proper maid of the Nilm Family as well~ Then my little one can make use of her however you like~ The same goes to her family as well~"

"Oh right… Is their family some kind of special group of ninjas or something?"

"Ara, ara? Is that what they are called in your old world?"

"Err… Yeah… Actually… She's also an Off-Worlder."

"Ufufufu~ I see~ In that case… Mary?"

The Trasif maid appeared instantly without any signs of the door opening at all and bowed.

"I'm here, Madam."

"What can you tell us about the girl's family?" Mother asked, her hand patting my head idly.

Mary straightened, "She belongs to a family of thieves for hire operating primarily around Yenom Port Town. Their biggest heist was stealing the governor of Asttol City's prized jewel and ransoming it back to him. After Crystal was born into their family, she started revamping how the family works and even introduced that new uniform that the family is wearing."

No surprise that these were all introduced by her, she must have a thing for that.

Mother giggled, "Ufufufu~ I see~ In that case, could you check if she has any comments about the current uniforms for the Shadow Corps and whether she would like to make any changes to it? It can be the new uniform for my little one's own group for her Shadow Corps~"

Err… What?

MAry didn't even blink, "I shall ask her, Madam. Is there anything else?"

"Ufufufu~ How about her family? Didn't her little sister send out a call for help?"

"I believe they have already received it and might be sending more people to investigate after knowing that both sisters have been compromised."

"Ufufufu~ I see, I see~ Very well then. Do be careful when you go out on your own, my little one. They might try to bother you if they find you~"

Err… I'm pretty sure the people who should be careful aren't me but that family instead…

Besides… Crystal should be explaining to her family soon enough right? So this wouldn't be a problem.

And what are they even going to do to me? Kidnap me?

Actually… Don't answer that… I think I just jinxed myself too. Crap…

Oh right, there's one other thing too.

"Mommy… Do you know about Emilia's problem?"

"Ara, ara? Does my little one want to help her as well?"

"Erm… She did help me when I was thrown overboard the first time… And she has been nice to us too…"

"Ara? That sounds like my dearest wants her to be part of your harem too~ Shall I take her for you?"

I pouted at Mother, "Motherrrrrr…"

"Ufufufu~ I'm joking~ But Mama certainly would not object to having such a cute daughter in law too~ Mary, go ahead and see what else little Emilia might need in her quest, won't you?"

The Trasif bowed, "Understood, Madam."

She then disappeared through a portal, leaving me alone with Mother again.

Mother then turned back to me, "Now… Cookie?"

Oh~ Of course I wouldn't say no to that! Gimme gimme~
