Chapter 173 Acquaintanceship

"So those massive magical explosions that we felt in the forest at that time were actually coming from the fight between Raphael and Czarina, the Ancient Dragon, huh?"

"Correct, Mom. And I am terribly sorry for lying to you."

"It's okay, Raphael. Nothing particularly bad happened, so we can let it slide."

"Thank you, Mom."

We continued the introduction of my parents to the ladies and vice versa once we settled ourselves as we enjoyed the desserts and drinks that I brought from our café in our city.

Since our head count reached a dozen, I moved a sofa from the living area and made the coffee table surrounded by furniture on each side, and each sofa accommodated three people.

I shared the same seat with Mom and Mother; of course, they were my family, so it was quite obvious. They were my family and must be with their son.

On our left was where Czarina, Yuki, and Inari were seated. The right sofa was occupied by Uriel, Griffith, and Gabrielle, while Elise, Lucy, and Lily took a seat on the sofa across the table.

The table was served with the top-selling confections and beverages from our café. Mom and Mother had eaten and drank them multiple times.

But the others, except for my clones, never tasted them, so they were quite excited when they consumed their portions. Elise even asked if we could branch the café out to Prussilvania.

As we enjoyed ourselves, I one by one introduced the other party to my two mothers, slowly breaking down the details enough not to exhaust and overload their minds.

"Sigh." Mom let out a sigh. "Raphael does not cease to surprise us. First, he discovered a dungeon and the migration of fox monsters and humans. And now he introduced us to his harem full of gorgeous and powerful women. He even loved by a vampiric noble."

"But the surprises do not end there." Mother added. "Not only did he tame a Griffon, but a Tailed Fox, a Celestial Fox, and the ruler of the forest, the Ancient Dragon of Darkness."

"You are not alone, Lady Claire and Lady Claire," Elise said in agreement with mothers. "I, too, was literally terrified once I discovered what Inari and Czarina really are. But Raphael defeating a dragon among the Ancient Dragons was more surprising than that."

Elise and Lily just met Inari and Czarina this morning since they would be meeting my parents later on. I had Elise gain acquaintance with the other members of the harem since I wanted an orgy party with them.

Actually, the yurification ceremony that the girls did to Lily yesterday was a honey trap. Indulging her with carnal desires, my clones entice Lily into revealing the reason why she approached us.

After learning and understanding her reasons, we ultimately decided to make Lily a woman of mine. Well, because of her race, her body count was still there. But the last time she did it with someone was several decades ago, so it does not matter anymore.

According to her, succubi gradually lost their sexual desires as they matured. It's not that they need a man to survive, though; they just got extremely horny when they had their ovulation.

Maybe, being a single-sex race, the succubi race underwent a few natural selections and developed those alluring features and eliminated the unnecessary traits for the survival of their race.

By the way, in this world, long-lived races matured in a different way than humans did. Succubi, for example, mature like humans at early stages.

Once they hit their full maturity, the aging of their bodies started to delay until they got old and died after several centuries. Every succubus had a different age of maturity, and their aging varied individually.

"Yeah, I cannot still believe that our child had grown up that much, to the point where a legendary being even submitted herself to him."

"But, Raphael," Mother then looked at me. "Are you aware of what's on your plate now?"

"Of course, Mother. I had acknowledged the scope of my responsibilities."

I had told them that I also gained jurisdiction over the whole Great Forest of Darkness after Czarina submitted to me. Mom and Mother were somehow shocked by it, as if trying to comprehend what they had learned this day.

"But to think that the Ancient Dragon of Darkness is actually a beautiful woman..." Mother pondered, inspecting Czarina from head to toe. "And she is absurdly powerful, undoubtedly the most powerful being I have ever encountered in my whole life."

"It is a pleasure for me to be complimented by Master's mother, Lady Mylene."

As soon as Czarina said that, she leaned her body forward and took a bow, which exposed her cleavage and jiggled a little.

"I-it is also a pleasure for me to have a conversation with a legendary being such as Czarina."

Mother said as she was constantly peeking into her valley. Mom and I easily caught her pervy actions and just narrowed our eyes on her.

"Not only Czarina, but Inari is very powerful as well." Mom praised. "She is definitely a better magician than I am."

"Thank you for your compliment, Lady Claire."

Mom subtly smiled at Inari. As a person who bears the title of Sage, Mom's pride probably was piqued upon seeing what Inari was capable of.

Both Mom and Inari were exceptionally skilled in magic. The difference between them was that Inari had a larger mana reservoir, and her being a monster allowed her to cast spells nonverbally.

Having more mana means having more input to invoke more powerful spells. That might be the reason why Inari was more proficient in World Magic than Mom's. And I think that Mom could probably do better if she got more juice.

"Let us make it clear, Raphael. You said that you had adopted Yuki, right?"

"That is right, Mother."

"But you will make her your woman once she grows up?"

"Yes, that was what we had discussed before." I plainly replied.

"So you are raising a child to be your woman in the future?"

"I am just simply doing what you two have done."

After I said that, Mom and Mother embarrassingly averted their gazes from mine. Of course, they knew what they had done to me and were guilty of it.
