Combat Maid Harem

It didn't take long before Lawrend and Aleshia arrived at the small wooden house that they rented. It was similar to the first one; not that spacious and very rural.

"Mister, can you get someone to repair our carriage?"

Aleshia asked the man who guided them here. He was the same one they paid earlier.

"Sure. I'll have them come a few minutes later."

The man nodded his head before sprinting to call someone to repair the carriage.

"Young Master, Allen sure is getting bigger."

Aleshia pointed out after noticing that Allen was almost as big as two of Lawrend's palms. When they first got him, he was at most as big as Lawrend's hands.

"Mm. He has been eating a lot."

Lawrend nodded his head. Allen has been eating grass whenever he wanted to. When they were on a stop, he would wander around and eat grass. When they were on the road, he would eat the grass that was inside the carriage that they plucked from the ground.

"Young Master, can I carry him?"

Aleshia asked Lawrend as she approached him. She was really curious about this slime. It was naughty and very friendly to humans. She couldn't help but remember the time when it bounced down on her chest.

"Sure."

Lawrend passed Allen to her. He was glad that Aleshia was accepting Allen. He thought that she wouldn't like it at all. It was pretty weird to get a slime pet after all.

"Come here, Allen."

Aleshia carefully lifted Allen from Lawrend's hands and held him in her hands.

Allen looked at her silently with its small slime eyes.

"Here, pat pat."

Aleshia patted Allen with a smile on her face. He was cold to the touch, and he was very bouncy and squishy.

Allen shook his body as if a cat purring from her headpats.

"I think he likes you."

Lawrend couldn't help but say after seeing Allen act so friendly with Aleshia. It was like he was accepting her.

"He does."

Aleshia nodded her head. She took a liking to Allen immediately.

After getting close with Allen, Aleshia cooked their dinner while the carriage was being fixed outside. Lawrend and Aleshia slept in separate rooms after that.

The next morning, they had a quick breakfast before leaving the village. Their next destination would be the Sheron Port City. It would be where Lawrend would be buying the shipment from another continent.

They passed through the same grassy plains, but it was obvious that something was different. There were more farmlands the closer they got to the city.

There were also many villages on their way. Most of which were offering similar services to the village they arrived at last night.

"We are here."

Aleshia informed Lawrend.

Lawrend peeked his head outside of the carriage. Towering cobblestone walls surrounded a city. It was quite intimidating from this perspective.

They were entering from the North Entrance, and there was a long line of carriages waiting to enter the city. There was a strict check at the entrance, so it takes time to go through all of them.

"So this is Sheron Port City."

Lawrend exclaimed in amazement. Although it was not as magnificent as the ones in his memories, he could still appreciate the magnificence of this huge wall. It was perfect for defending invasions.

"Young Master, this city is really huge from the inside. It's at least twice as big as Lanika City. Though most of the space was occupied by warehouses storing goods."

Aleshia explained to Lawrend. She had been here before for a short amount of time.

"I see. This city is the perfect hub for merchants."

Lawrend nodded his head in understanding. If there were large warehouses just to store goods, it would mean that this city was very wealthy. He couldn't imagine how much tax money goes through here every day.

"Yes. I remember seeing a huge shipment arrive before just solely for one merchant. That merchant sold those goods all over the kingdom."

Aleshia could still remember her time here. It was when she had a mission to assassinate a merchant. It went well, and the memories she had in this city were very distinct to her.

"I wanted to do that too, but with me being able to wield magic already. I think I'm just gonna give it up."

Lawrend sighed to himself. It was his father's desire for him to be a successful merchant, but now that he was already a Beginner Mage, it doesn't matter anymore. He would pursue magic and rise to the top, and complete his goal of a maid harem.

"You have your goals set. That's… envious."

Aleshia looked up into the clouds, lost in thought. She wanted to heal her little sister's illness. But after that, what would she do? Would she still pursue being an assassin?

Aleshia didn't know why but at that thought, she looked at Lawrend. And at that moment, she realized that she had similarly found her own goal.

"Envious?"

Lawrend raised an eyebrow. He didn't know what she was envious about.

"Nothing, Young Master. I just found my goal right now."

Aleshia smiled beautifully at Lawrend. It was a smile filled with sincerity. Lawrend's heart started beating quickly when he saw that. She was so mesmerizing and beautiful.

"W-What's with that look?"

Aleshia was taken aback by the intent look that Lawrend was giving her. It was like he was in a daze.

"A-Ah… I was just thinking of something."

Lawrend stuttered as he replied. He gulped hard. Something about her made his heart flutter. He couldn't help but remember the time when she kissed him two times. His cheeks immediately turned red in embarrassment.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Oblivious to the thoughts inside Lawrend's head, Aleshia touched his forehead and felt his temperature.

"A-Aleshia!"

Lawrend moved back in a fluster. He panted nervously as he looked at her. Just her touch made his heart beat much faster.
