Reborn As Noble

The commotion heated up when Delya joined in. She clasped her hands together, her dreamy smile widening as her body shimmered. In an instant, she split into seven identical versions of herself, stood in a circle around Javier, each one striking a different, adorable pose.

One winked, another blew a kiss, a third twirled her hair shyly, a fourth pressed her hands together in a pleading gesture, a fifth leaned forward with a playful grin, a sixth hugged herself, and the seventh simply gazed at him with her usual dreamy smile.

All seven spoke at once, their voices overlapping in a soft, melodic echo.

”Danna-sama~”

Mimi puffed her cheek, her tail bristling as she rushed toward Javier. She latched onto his arm, hugging it tightly and hissing at the others.

”Nya! Husband is my husband! Mine! Nya!”

The other girls surged forward at once, each reaching for a piece of him. Gloria pulled his head against her massive breasts, cradling him there with a satisfied smirk. Felicia grabbed his free hand and pressed it against her cleavage. Delya’s seven copies swarmed around him, each one clinging to a different part of his body, kissing his cheeks, his neck, his shoulders.

Javier’s face disappeared into a sea of soft skin and warm curves. His body was surrounded on all sides, hands and lips and breasts pressing against him from every direction. His head lolled back against Gloria’s chest, a wide, blissful grin spreading across his face.

”Hehehe~”

Buddy watched Javier’s expression for a moment, his beak curling into a smirk before he glanced back at Liana, who was placing the last of the meat onto the large plate.

”Cuquawked?” (Not going to join them?)

Liana smiled and shook her head, lifting the huge plate of meat and setting it down in front of Buddy.

”No. I’ll let the others enjoy their moment with Young Master for today.”

”Cuquawked?” (Not jealous?)

Liana narrowed her eyes playfully at Buddy, her lips curling into a knowing smile.

”I don’t need to be jealous.”

Buddy stretched his long neck, leaning his head toward Liana with his eyes half-closed. A sly smirk curled on his beak as he wiggled his eyebrows at her, letting out a low, teasing squawk.

”Cuquawked~?” (Really~?)

Liana chuckled softly, reaching up with both hands and pushing Buddy’s head away. She placed her hands on her hips and glanced at the massive plate of meat she had prepared for him.

”Oh hush, Buddy. You should eat that before it gets cold. If it’s cold, it won’t taste as good as when it’s fresh off the grill.”

”Cuquawked~ Cuquawked~” (Heh~ For me, as long as it’s cooked and the special sauce is there, hot or cold doesn’t matter~)

While Buddy devoured his meal, Liana noticed Celine standing a few steps away, watching the scene where Javier was surrounded by the girls. Liana’s smirk returned as she glanced toward her.

”You can join them if you want, you know.”

Celine startled, her cheeks flushing pink as she averted her eyes. She mumbled softly, her voice barely audible over the laughter and chatter. ”Even if I wanted to... there’s no space for me. And they’re all more beautiful than me...”

”Ara?” Liana tilted her head, her smile widening as she placed more raw meat onto the grill. ”Are you saying you’re not confident in your own beauty and body?”

Celine’s gaze dropped to the sand, her fingers twisting together. ”I’m not... I mean... compared to them...”

Liana narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile never fading. ”Young Master’s taste in women is never ’average’ or ’so-so.’ He doesn’t waste his time on anything less than exceptional. If you’re one of his girls, that means you’ve already met his standard. You should be confident about it.”

Liana’s smile turned playful as she flipped the meat on the grill.

”Besides... Young Master loves it when his woman is a virgin~”

Celine’s face flushed bright red, her hands flying to her cheeks as she stammered in embarrassment.

”A... awa... awaawaaa...”

Liana narrowed her eyes, her expression turning serious as she fixed Celine with a sharp glare. Her voice dropped into a low, dangerous tone.

”You are a virgin, right?”

Celine stammered hard, her cheeks flushing deep red, her hands flying up to cover her face. Before she could stammer out an answer, Lyzia, who had been standing in front of the table, casually raised one finger and pointed at herself.

”I am virgin.”

Liana’s gaze snapped toward her sister. Lyzia stood there with her wet silver hair plastered against her shoulders, her white bikini clinging to her body, her expression completely innocent as she pointed at herself. Liana’s hand flew out and landed a sharp chop on the top of Lyzia’s head.

”Owww!” Lyzia yelped, rubbing the sore spot and puffing her cheek as she shot Liana a glare. ”What was that for, Sister!?”

Liana pinched the bridge of her nose with one hand, the other resting on her hip.

”Of course you’re a virgin. But I wasn’t asking you!”

”Eh? I thought you were asking me...” Lyzia pursed her lips, her eyes drifting toward the cut roast meat on the table. She slowly reached for a piece, only for Liana to slap her hand away.

”Aw! Sister!”

Liana widened her glare, her voice sharp. ”Wash your hands before you eat!”

”But...” Lyzia puffed her cheek, pointing toward Buddy. ”This big orange bird didn’t even wash his... err... feet?”

Buddy glanced at Lyzia, a piece of meat held firmly in his beak. He narrowed his eyes, slowly tugging at the meat with his beak before swallowing it down, never breaking eye contact as he gave her a look of pure, amused disbelief.

”Cuquawked~” (Heh~ Small witch~)

Lyzia glared up at Buddy, puffing her cheek before hissing toward him. ”I’m not a witch!”

Buddy wiped his beak against the tablecloth, pressing it down in quick, efficient motions before lifting his head with a smug smirk. He tilted his head at Lyzia, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

”Cuquawked~” (You’re the witch’s little sister, so that makes you a witch~ Every one of Master’s girls is a witch to me~)

Liana just shook her head, letting out a soft, tired exhale before her eyes settled on Celine again. Her expression turned serious, her arms crossing beneath her breasts as she fixed the younger girl with a pointed stare.

”You are a virgin, right?”

Celine fidgeted under the weight of Liana’s gaze, her fingers twisting together as she mumbled in a low, barely audible voice. ”I am. Big Sister can check... if... if you want.”

”Okay~”

Celine’s eyes widened the moment Liana moved toward her and grabbed her wrist.

”E... eh? Now?”

Liana tilted her head, her expression calm and unreadable. ”Yes. Why? Scared I’ll find out you’re not a virgin, and then I’ll have to kick you out of the harem?”

Celine puffed her cheek in a small pout. ”No. I’m not scared. I know I’m a virgin. It’s just...” Her voice dropped to a low mumble. ”...everyone is here. And... Husband...”

Before Celine could finish, Liana raised her palm. The ground around them rumbled, and walls of earth shot up, surrounding them in a tight circle. The top closed, plunging the inside into complete darkness.

”B... Big Sis?”

A soft, eerie light suddenly appeared in front of Liana’s face, casting long shadows across the small, enclosed space. Liana’s smile widened in the dim glow.

”Now~ Shall we get started?”

Outside, Buddy and Lyzia glanced toward the sealed dome, their eyes widening as a loud, piercing scream erupted from inside.

”HI IIIIIII KKKKK!!! WIIIIITTCCHHHH!!!”

Everyone on the beach froze, their gazes snapping toward the dark dome as the scream echoed across the sand.
