Chapter 97 96: Family Dinner

Kat PoV

"When's dinner?"

Hearing Jahi ask that while she ogled my body, I just sighed, dragging a chemise over myself before walking past her.

Her hand landed on me, making me look at her dryly, before continuing back into the kitchen.

The blue Demoness dragged the Jackalkin onto the couch, lounging as she looked towards me, a small grin on her lips as she watched me.

Kneading the seasoning into the strips of beef, I glanced over my shoulder at Jahi and Anput, asking "So, what happened outside that resulted in... that?"

We both turned our gazes towards the unusually shy Jackalkin, who clung closer to Jahi, her ears twitching.

Chuckling, Jahi stroked the back of Anput's head, her eyes gentle as she said "Nothing much, just... got a little hungry~"

I shook my head, turning back to the beef as I laid them onto the pan, igniting the fire crystal underneath it.

Letting them sear, I started chopping some lettuce, my eyes on Jahi's as she asked "So, what happened in here that resulted in you needing to change?"

I chuckled at her, looking over towards the hallway, where I saw Leone's ash hair flicker for just a second.

"Nothing much, Leone just... got a little hungry~"

Hearing me repeat what she said, Jahi just shook her head with a wry grin, before peering over her shoulder.

"Leone?"

The Vampire shuffled into the room, wearing a loose chemise and a jacket over that, her face slightly flushed as she sat down in one of the free chairs.

Grinning at Leone, Jahi asked "So you needed a... 'quick bite', huh?"

Leone just nodded slightly, before stiffening when Jahi continued.

"How long have you been... hungry?"

Biting her lip, Leone stared down at her hands, whispering "S-Since you sent the ring..."

Sighing, Jahi looked over the sad figure of the Vampire.

"Leone, you could have just... asked, y'know?"

She looked up at Jahi in surprise, only to bite her lip again as she muttered "I-I was w-worried that... e-everyone would be... disgusted..."

Looking at one another, Jahi and I sighed.

Moving to stand behind Leone, I gently wrapped my arms around her, making her flinch.

"Listen, Leone. We are all a... family, now. Jahi and I knew what you were when we accepted you; if we weren't okay with Vampires, well, you wouldn't be here."

Leone just gulped, before nuzzling her cheek into my arm.

"A-Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Placing a kiss on her cheek, I went back to the kitchen, continuing the dinner preparations.

"Besides, you're too cute to not be mine~"

Sighing, I looked over my shoulder to see Leone go crimson, hiding her face in her knees as Jahi grinned over at her.

Finishing the salads, I started placing everything on plates.

"Dinner is ready..."

Honestly, if I had more time and didn't have that whole thing with Leone a few minutes ago, I would have made more, but...

Watching as they all moved from the living room to the kitchen table, I just shrugged.

Sure, it might not be a feast, but from the looks of it, we all aren't thinking about food right now.

Laying the plates down in front of everyone, I poured everyone some tea before taking my own seat.

Anput and Jahi both tore into their meals, finishing the meat first before picking at the salad, only eating when I glared at them.

As for Leone, she just picked at everything, her lips pursed.

"Leone, does blood replace food for Vampires?"

She hesitantly nodded, giving me an apologetic look as she said "I'm sorry..."

Smiling at her, I shrugged as I said "It's fine, you still ate something I made~"

Blushing, she looked away from me.

Seeing her stop eating, Jahi slyly stole her plate, devouring her portion.

"Jahi..."

"What? She wasn't going to eat it..."

I sighed, before watching as Jahi looked over us with serious eyes.

"Well, we should have this discussion now, I guess."

Furrowing my brow, I tilted my head as I looked at her, both Anput and Leone mirroring me.

Smiling, Jahi said "You three are my wives."

I nodded, while the other two just blushed.

"However, even though you are 'mine', I see no reason to dictate everything you do; you are your own person."

Again, I just nodded, making Jahi chuckle.

"The main thing that I want to... inform you all about, is that... well, as much as I want to be the only one to taste you, you are all free to... do whatever together."

The two other women looked over at me, understanding what Jahi was saying, which made her chuckle again.

"Yes, if you want to have fun together, go ahead... of course, I do hope I am your priority~"

Anput looked back towards Jahi, her lips pulled into a thin line as she asked "Are you sure? Aren't most... what was the word... Harem's all focused on one person?"

Jahi nodded, before gesturing towards me.

"Sure, and to be honest, that person is Kat. She seems to be the main focal point of our attractions, yes? However, I am, of course, the one you three are married to."

Leaning over, she cupped Anput's cheek, grinning at the writhing Jackalkin as she coyly said "So I hope you'll continue to be a good girl, hmm~?"

I chuckled at the mixed expression of lust and embarrassment Anput wore, before watching as Jahi turned her attention towards Leone, laying a hand on her cheek.

"Just like I hope that our Princess will allow me to continue being her knight~"

Leone just gulped, looking down at the table before glancing back up at the grinning face of Jahi.

Getting up, Jahi stalked around the table, wrapping her arms around my body as she leaned down, her breath ruffling my fur as she whispered "Of course, I don't need to worry about my puppy, now do I? She'll always come back to her rightful owner in the end..."

I shuddered as I felt the blatant desire and obsession flooding through our bond, only to nod.

"I love you more than I care to admit, Kat..."

Gently kissing my cheek, Jahi removed herself from me, before retaking her seat.

"So, that's that. If you want to 'get to know' one another, go ahead. Of course, I would prefer if one of you was available at all times..."

Grinning at us, Jahi leaned forwards with golden eyes as she said "Because I don't plan on spending the night alone. Ever."

Finishing Leone's plate, Jahi got up, walking towards the couch.

Leaning against it, she had a small smirk on her face as she looked us over, only to say "Well, finish up; we have our actual first day tomorrow."

Short, but...

Well, I was too busy catching up on this seasons anime, so here's my recommendations.

Eminence in Shadow: Interesting premise, it's an Isekai about a guy wanting to rule the world form the shadows. So far, he acts like a background character, however it's been shown that he's pretty strong and smart. Besides that, he has a whole cast of waifus that have formed a cult under him. Pretty interesting so far, already bought the first three Light Novels and will binge read them in a few days.

More than a Married Couple: Kind of a fucked premise ngl, its a modern school show with a required part of the curriculum being placing a boy and girl together to be 'married' and live like a couple. If you think for like two seconds you can notice that its actually a really bad idea, as not only does it seem like it would separate already formed couples, but makes the students watch as their crushes live with someone else, not to mention if any people are just... not wanting to be in a 'relationship'. However, so far its just a decent enough school romance anime.

Shinobi No Ittoki: My hate watch of the season, mainly because... the mother of MC should have told MC he was a damn Shinobi Clan Heir when he was a kid, not telling him when he is almost assassinated as a teen, and thinks that he is just that; a normal teen kid. I still plan on watching it, just to dunk on the mother's poor decisions since she is now willingly sending her son, unprepared, into a school of other trained Shinobi, hoping he doesn't get killed, which if it wasn't a show, or was realistic, he would have died as soon as he stepped foot in the school.

Beast Tamer: Guy is a beast tamer who is taming Demi-human waifus. Nuff said.

Management of a Novice Alchemist: Story of a girl running her own Alchemy shop, seems cute and lighthearted so far, though she is insanely strong, like punch a bear and it exploded strong. Honestly just funny as all hell to watch, and the art style is good.

Now, before anyone talks about Chainsaw Man, Bleach, Mob, Spy Fam, or My Hero...

Of those, the only one I would watch is Bleach, but I doubt I'll end up watching, just cause I still haven't finished the original Bleach.

Might give Spy Fam a shot, since I already watched the first season, but idk.

As for Mob and My Hero... I stopped watching them both a long time ago, and don't plan on resuming them.

Chainsaw Man is something I might watch, but I honestly have no idea if I will.

Anyways, that's that. So, uh, yeah.
