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

“Mistress, your tea.”

“Mmm… Thank you, Katsuki.”

“May I ask what you are reading, Mistress?”

I looked up to see my Inugami maid standing beside me at attention with a slight tilt of her head.

Right now I was in the gardens enjoying my afternoon tea while reading the Eromancy book that I obtained from the Dungeon.

“It’s a book about Eromancy. Have you heard of it before?”

She shook her head, “I’m afraid I have not, Mistress. Is it a new kind of magic?”

“I’m not sure… This was the reward I received from Hiandoca after helping her with one of her tasks.”

Katsuki paused for a moment, “If this was given to Mistress by Goddess Hiandoca herself, then it could very well be a unique magic that is given only to you, Mistress.”

I tilted my head at her, “That can’t be right… I mean… Can’t I just let you read this book as well and you’ll also learn it?”

To prove my point, I pushed the book over towards her to let her read it.

She leaned over to look at the page I showed her before turning back to me, “Mistress… I can’t read it.”

I frowned a little, looking back at the book to make sure that it was right side up until I realised that she was standing beside me which meant that it wasn’t even upside down to begin with.

“Sorry… What do you mean by ‘you can’t read it’?”

“The words on the pages are all gibberish to me, Mistress.”

Eh?

I checked the words again.

Ok, I thought it might have been written in my old native language back in my old World but that wasn’t the case here. The text here was still written in the native language of this World so it wasn’t the case of her being unable to read it because of that…

Katsuki then spoke up again, “Mistress. I believe the book has been enchanted so that only you are able to read it. If anyone else were to try and read it, they would see gibberish like me.”

Oh. I didn’t think about that.

“Why would there be such an enchantment on this though?”

“I believe Goddess Hiandoca does not want anyone else to obtain this magic through this book aside from you, Mistress.”

“But I’m guessing she’s ok with me teaching it to someone else?”

“That seems to be the case, Mistress.”

Ok… I mean… I don’t really intend to do that in the first place so that means I might be the only person who would know about this magic…

Assuming that she doesn’t give another person a book like this, of course.

“Putting that aside… How long are you girls going to punish Lisa?” I asked.

Both Katsuki and I looked out to the centre of the garden where my teary Infrid was being forced to hold a bucket of water above her head while maintaining a squatting stance. If she tried to lower her hands or her stance faltered, Odeta and Delmare, who were both watching her with displeased expressions, would be quick to correct her.

Despite Katsuki maintaining a neutral face, I could tell that she was actually feeling quite happy from seeing Lisa being punished by how her tail was wagging.

“That is not up to me to decide, Mistress.”

Right…

“Straighten those arms!” Odeta yelled, prompting Lisa to push her arms up higher while she sobbed a little.

To be fair… I did warn her ahead of time that this might happen and she said it would be worth it.

Not sure if she still has the same sentiments after being subjected to such a punishment… Oh what am I talking about, she definitely still does.

I called out to them, “I think that’s enough already girls… I’m sure she has already learned her lesson, right?”

Odeta turned to me, “You’re too soft on her, Sister Aster! If she doesn’t hold it for at least another hour, she won’t learn her lesson!”

Really? You’ve made her stand there for more than an hour already… She’s not like you or me who has high strength or endurance stats, you know? I’m already impressed she could hold that position for an hour.

On the other hand, Delmare seemed to agree with me and tugged at Odeta’s arm from where she sat on the ground.

“I think that’s enough already, Odeta… Like what Aster said, I believe she already learned her lesson so why don’t we just let her off with this much?”

Odeta made a face, “Hmph. Since both Sister Aster and Delmare said so, then I suppose we can stop here. Have you learned your lesson yet, Lisa?”

“Nngggghhh!! Yeeeesshhhh…” My Infrid groaned, her body visibly shaking.

“Do you promise not to kidnap Sister Aster away to go hunt monsters without telling us?”

“Mnngghh… Maybe…”

Odeta crossed her arms, “Hey!”

“I wanna go on dates too, ok?! I can’t promise thaaaaat!”

Delmare tugged at Odeta again, “I agree with her… The issue is just the fact that we planned to go together but she ran off without us…”

“Fine, fine. Do you promise not to kidnap Sister Aster and run off on your own after we already agreed to go together?”

“Unnggh… I’ll try my best…”

“Meh, good enough.”

Lisa dropped the bucket on the ground and let its contents splash out onto the grass before she fell on her haunches in exhaustion.

Wait… The way she fell was a little suspicious…

By that I mean that she fell in such a way that she was exposing her crotch to me and it looked like it was done intentionally too…

Ah… I think I know now… She went to take a potion beforehand to enhance her strength or something… She did not actually suffer at all…

No wonder she could actually hold that position for almost two hours without dropping that bucket…

Oh well, I don’t really want to expose her so I went back to reading the book.

So far, the book has been basically talking about what Eromancy is and how one might be able to obtain proficiency in that magic.

It instructed me that I should basically fill my mind with lewd intentions when practicing to unlock my potential with it.

That didn’t really explain much so I was reading ahead to see if it elaborated on that particular part since I wasn’t really sure what kind of ‘lewd intentions’ the book was talking about.

Odeta, Delmare and Lisa came over to my table and joined me in my tea time, my Infrid still acting her part of being exhausted despite the fact that she wasn’t.

“How is the book, Aster?” Lisa asked.

“Mmm… Well, I guess I’m having some problems with the starting part I guess? Like I don’t know how to start.”

She immediately leaned forward and all traces of exhaustion disappeared as her eyes sparkled, “What’s the issue? Maybe I can help!”

“Well… It says here that I need to have lewd intentions when trying to gain proficiency in it for the first time but I’m not too sure how to do that. Like what kind of ‘lewd intentions’ should I have? Do I need to think about lewd stuff when using my mana or do I need to specifically want the magic to do something lewd?”

Lisa tilted her head at me, “Why not just try both, Aster?”

“Well… I’m sorry to say that I’m used to having a clear mind and intentions when using my magic so I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do this with ‘lewd intentions’. I don’t even know where to start.”

“Oh, oh! In that case, why not just try it on me! You know… Just think about any lewd stuff you want to do to me and imbue your mana with that intention in mind!”

“I dunno… That sounds a little too simple, doesn’t it? I don’t think it’s actually that simple…”

Lisa tilted her head at me, “And how did you learn how to use your magic, Aster? Didn’t you just think about wanting to create fire and then you realised you became proficient in Pyromancy? It should be the same for this right? It’s just a matter of your talent with it! Don’t think too much about it and just try it out first, Aster! Let’s try doing it via intentions first! I’ll be your volunteer!”

… Right… I forgot that Lisa was still a teacher…

I mean… Could you blame me? I just watched her stand there in the garden with a bucket raised over her head as punishment like some grade schooler…

“Well.. I suppose we could try… Though are you sure about this?” I asked.

Lisa thumped her chest, “Of course! Feel free to do anything you want to me, Aster!!”

That sounds a bit lewd already but ok… Then again, that’s the point…

Before I could try anything though, Delmare raised her hand shyly, “Aster? Could I… Volunteer myself too?”

Right after that, Odeta also butted in, “Hey! If anyone is helping Sister Aster, it should be me!”

“Mistress, I believe I would be the best choice for you to test your magic instead. Please do it on me instead,” Katsuki requested.

Lisa puffed her cheeks, “Hey!! This is my reward with Aster! I should be the one doing it!”

“Nuh-uh! Sister Aster is my training partner! She should train with me!”

“As Mistress’s personal maid, I should be the one to help her with this.”

“I… I need to repay Aster for all the times she listened to my songs! So I should be the one!”

Woah, woah girls… Why are you even fighting over who gets to be my test subject??
