While Carmine complained endlessly about how cramped the building was, it actually had five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The three former bandits took three rooms, while Carmine and Salicia each took the last two. I forced the three men to sleep in the same room, then gave Ruby and Raissa each one and took the other. Miki and Shao naturally joined me in my room. I had considered inviting Raissa to my room, but I wasn’t so bold.

Miki and Shao had pushed their way into my bedroom, but I had never asked them to actually stay with me. Now, it had grown to a point where I just expected both girls to want to sleep next to me. That didn’t mean I was in a state where I’d casually invite other women to my bed. All five of the women who shared my bed were also extremely particular about who they let into my bedroom. Even Eliana had to obey their rules. What those rules were, I had never actually been told. I only got to see the results.

Despite what some people in Chalm thought, it wasn’t wild sex orgies every night. I didn’t immediately equip Pervert and just attack my girls every night. I worked all day and having sex all night would be way too exhausting for me and for the girls. Officially, we had a rotation. Every night, five days a week, I’d sleep with one of the girls. The others would remain nearby, but they’d give us a bit of privacy. Sometimes, Shao would obscure their vision with darkness, or Terra would erect a wall. Celeste might use wind to muffle the sounds. It was that kind of thing.

That didn’t mean there weren’t days where I attacked all five girls, but since that depended on me, those days were rare. The rotation had been set up by them, and the girls came to me in advance. I had a policy where I’d never reject any of them if they wanted it.  Most of the time, I wouldn’t equip Pervert, and the entire experience would only last fifteen minutes. It wasn’t filled with rough treatment and lewd sounds. It was just me and the women I love being close and expressing our affection for each other. Only if I wasn’t in the mood, would I equip Pervert, and if Pervert got out of hand, sometimes the other girls would have to come and help. That was typically how the occasional group activities happened.

Supposedly, the two remaining days were free days. I was allowed to sleep with the other girls who didn’t join us at night. Once again, since this was dependent on me, it meant that I rarely filled these days with other women. I wasn’t the kind of guy to shamelessly hit on women. Carmine and Salicia were usually in another city, and I wouldn’t try to use them for sex, anyway. The thought of asking Raissa made me blush, and when it came to Astria and Elaya, they were a bit too high level for a simple cuddle.

The girls were encouraging me to be more demanding, but it was ultimately a slow process. It wasn’t because I wanted to hurt anyone’s feelings. As I said, I wouldn’t reject any of my women who wanted my love. However, I was more than sexually satisfied. Those ero protagonists who banged girls 24/7 were a lie.  After having sex with a different woman every night for five nights in a row, having a night off could be considered a blessing. So, Pervert wasn’t exploding in levels, and other than my party members, I wasn’t sleeping with anyone else regularly. I was happy with things the way they were, but if Raissa or Eliana became a bit bolder and wanted me for one of my free nights, I wouldn’t turn them away.

None of that happened on this night, as the girls had agreed that there would be no sex while they were separated. Miki and Shao wouldn’t be able to monopolize my time while the other three were away. So, all we did was cuddle and sleep together. It felt kind of nice to only have two women. I had one on each arm. Still, even though the bed was smaller than my one in Chalm, it felt a little small without women clinging to me. Maybe I should invite Raissa, Carmine, and Salicia to my bed after all.
