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

“I can’t believe this!” Emilia huffed, crossing her arms in front of her as we made our way back to camp.

Well… I guess I do feel a little bad that we kind of took advantage of Emilia’s state to do all that to her…

“Sorry about that…” I apologised.

The Nekomata turned to me and looked confused, “Sorry? For what?”

“Err… For making you go down on me while you were affected by Delmare’s magic?”

She blinked, “Why would you need to apologise for that?”

“Eh? Because I did it against your will?”

“Huh? That’s not… Ahem… I mean… Yeah. Yeah, of course. I expect to be compensated for that!”

Ugh… But what do I need to do to make it up to her?

Before I could ask, Lisa leaned over and smirked at her, “Oh~ Does that mean that you don’t care I took all of these?”

Emilia quickly swivelled her head to glare at her, “Absolutely not! All the things that I had gathered should belong to me!! This is unfair!! I can’t believe I would drop them!!”

“Psh, we agreed that whatever we held at the end belonged to the finder, didn’t we? So too bad~”

“Noooo!! This is outrageous!!”

Oh… She wasn’t upset that the magic made her suck me off… She was upset that the magic made her drop the scales she had collected…

I had to make sure though.

“Wait… You didn’t mind that… Delmare’s magic basically made you go down on me?”

She looked away, which was enough to tell me what I needed to know.

Oh yeah… Sex is casual here… I guess she would only mind if we kissed.

We got back to the camp and found pretty much everyone had settled in for the night.

Some of the maids were doing their own training while others had opted to relax around the camp.

Mother was seated at a table and sipping away on a cup of tea while Mary and Katsuki stayed near her.

When Mother saw me, her face brightened up and she pointed to the empty seat across from her, indicating that I should sit with her.

Well… I don’t see any reason not to so I went over to them while the others went back to our own camp.

“Ufufufu~ Welcome back my little one~ I heard you were fighting a Fire Drake?” She asked with a smile.

“Mnn… It got away though.”

“Ufufufu~ But you still managed to fight one and stand toe to toe against it~ Mama is so proud of you~ Ahhh~ Mama remembers when you were just running around the forest and fighting bears~ How much you have grown!”

“I didn’t do it alone though. Without help, I doubt I would be able to fight it.”

“Ara, ara~ But that is also part of your growth too, my little one~ To be able to gather comrades like them is also part of your growth~”

Hard to argue with that I suppose.

Mother then took a sip from her tea before continuing, “Now that you have little Emilia added into your group as well as little Crystal and her family, Mama wonders if my little one intends to do anything with them?”

“Do anything with them? Like what?”

“Ufufufu~ Does my little one not realise? You could carve out a small kingdom of your own if you want with a group like this~ And you wouldn’t even need to rely on your Shadow Guards~”

“Eh?!”

I was so surprised by her words that I unintentionally let out a gasp.

Mother giggled, “Ufufufu~ It seems like my little one never actually thought about it? As expected of my cutest child~”

She then went back to sipping tea like she did not just suggest something crazy.

No, no, no… You can’t just drop something like that on me and pretend nothing happened! What was that about, Mother?!

“What do you mean that I could carve out a small kingdom of my own, Mommy?”

“Ufufufu~ It’s alright if my little one has no plans for it~ But if my dearest child wishes to found yourself a kingdom, you are fully capable of doing so~”

Is this about my Shadow Guards?

I mean… I was told that with them, I could easily conquer a kingdom if I really set my mind to it, but I definitely did not have any interest in doing so.

Besides… Mother specifically mentioned Emilia and Crystal so it must have something to do with them, right? And she also said I don’t need to rely on my Shadow Guards.

Why would having those two equate to creating a small kingdom?

Emilia is a merchant… A very talented and ruthless one to be exact… Then Crystal’s family is a bunch of ninjas…

I don’t get it.

I mean… I can see Emilia starting some big company and start making big bucks in a year or two but aside from being glorified bodyguards, I don’t really know what else I can get Crystal to do?

Looking at Mother, it doesn’t seem like she was going to tell me.

“Katsuki?” I asked, hoping my Inugami maid would shed some light on this.

She hesitated before bowing, “I apologise, Mistress… But I am also unsure.”

Huh… If even Katsuki doesn’t know… Well… I suppose Mary wouldn’t tell me either since Mother didn’t want to tell me.

Oh, I know! I’ll just go ask Emilia directly!

“Ara? Already leaving? Ufufufu~ Have fun, my little one~” Mother giggled when I stood up from my seat.

Katsuki came to my side and we returned back to the camp that we had set up in our corner of the cave.

I then realised that Lisa had brought out a cauldron and was brewing a potion while Emilia was sulking beside her while watching her.

“I still think I should at least get some of it,” The Nekomata whined.

Lisa huffed, “Please, Emmy. We both know that if the situation was reversed, you wouldn’t even give me a single scale from your hoard!”

“That may be true but come on! Just one? No wait. I can’t do much with one. How about five? No!

Ten! Just ten!”

Lisa gave her the finger and went back to preparing her potion, whatever it was.

Emilia was fuming when I reached her though she quickly hid it when she noticed me.

“What are you making, Lisa?” I asked, looking over at the cauldron.

She grinned at me, “Ohhh~ You’ll love it, Aster~ But I shan’t spoil the surprise yet! You’ll have to wait till it’s done!”

Right… I have a feeling it’s going to be something sexual in nature… Don’t tell me it’s going to make me grow a dragon dick or something…

Putting that aside, I turned to Emilia, “Hey, Emilia? Quick question?”

“What is it, boss?”

Katsuki stepped forward and shot her a glare before I could respond.

Emilia frowned and gestured towards me, “Come on! We’re on break now aren’t we?!”

My Inugami maid simply stared at her without saying anything.

Emilia rolled her eyes, “Fine… What is it, Mistress?”

I cleared my throat, “Ahem… I wanted to ask what your plans are with the money I put in your care?”

She opened her mouth before shutting it to think.

She then gave me a serious look, “Could I ask if there’s a specific way you wish for me to make use of the money?”

“Err… Not exactly… But I wanted to ask if it’s possible for you to… I dunno… Help me found a kingdom of my own?”

She tilted her head, “Found a king– Wait… You want to rule over a territory? That’s not… Wait… Actually, we can do that… First we would… No wait… Since Crystal’s family is under you now… We can definitely… Hmm… But do you really want to?”

“I’m more curious as to how we would do it?”

Lisa raised her hand, “Oh I know! We can fuck people into submission!”

Emilia rolled her eyes, “No. We can make use of Crystal and her family to find a specific region with a town and figure out what they need and what they are lacking. Then we set up a trading company dealing specifically in those and use Crystal’s family to get rid of any competition for that trade and cause a deficit in that resource.”

I tilted my head, “And then we trade with them and get the people to like us or something because we are the sole traders of that resource?”

“Well, no… We squeeze them all dry of the resource, then we have Crystal’s family infiltrate the place and start spreading unrest amongst the population there. We can start blackmailing the person in charge to start giving us some administrative powers in return to ease the unrest.

Then we can make even more problems come up using Crystal’s family to get more benefits until we get full control of the town. It’ll take a while, but it’s possible. Unless you don’t mind a bit of bloodshed, then it would make things go faster.”

I stared at her with a mixture of fear and awe with how easy she made it seem. And this was just me asking about it a few seconds ago too.

Then I remembered… Mother already thought about it even before that…

Ok… Seriously though, I have no intentions of doing this so please don’t do it girls…

No, no, don’t give me that look like you girls are expecting me to tell her to go do it. I said I only want to go out and explore the World, ok?!
