Standing alone in the kitchen, I hummed happily to myself as I prepared our breakfast, deciding on a simple rice bowl for breakfast.
I didn't know why, but I was craving the basic taste of a steamed rice bowl, topped with some scrambled eggs and spring onions...
Smiling, I gradually finished each bowl, glancing over my shoulder as I watched a sleepy Leone shuffle her way towards me.
"Morning..."
Chuckling, I rose a brow as Leone stood behind me, laying her head on my shoulder.
"Good morning, Leone."
Separating the bowls, I swiftly placed a hand over her opened mouth as she tried to sink her fangs into my neck.
"Sorry, but I told you not before the Academy! Here."
Leone pouted as she stared at my outstretched wrist, before shrugging.
Hopefully the pleasurable high I received when she drank from my neck wasn't going to happen with my wrist...
Leone tenderly licked the soft flesh of my wrist before opening her mouth again, thin ropes of saliva connecting her upper and lower fangs as she leaned closer.
Sinking them into my forearm, Leone's stifled moan reached my ears as she started eagerly gulping down my blood.
Unlike before, the sensation that washed over my body was bearable, not sending me over the edge like when she drank from my neck.
So was there a difference because of the locations?
Also, where was that warm feeling that was injected into my veins like before?
Shrugging, I returned my attention to the bowls, finishing them up as Leone continued feeding.
Sprinkling a little salt over the top of the rice, I mixed everything together before glancing over at the Vampire as she released my wrist, panting as she turned her heated gaze to my neck.
"Sorry, but no."
She pouted again, before tentatively licking the bite mark on my wrist, healing the wound.
"T-Thank you, Kat..."
Smirking over at the girl, I pulled her close to me, pressing my lips against her own, savoring her sweet taste.
For a brief moment Leone struggled in my arms, trying to push me away, only to melt into my embrace when I slid my hand behind her head, pushing her lips further into mine.
"Well this is one hell of a sight to see in the morning."
Releasing the Vampire, I looked over at a smirking Jahi, her rippling muscles shining in the early morning light.
"Good morning~!"
She just nodded at me, before chuckling as she watched Leone rush towards her room, her face completely red.
Walking over to me, Jahi kissed me quickly before looking down at the bowls, raising a brow.
"Rice?"
I nodded, making her shrug.
"Alright. Well, I still need to get ready, so keep it warm for a few minutes please."
Giving my rear a firm squeeze, Jahi kissed me again before returning to our room.
Finding myself alone, I turned my attention back towards the system, deciding it was finally time to read the notifications from last night.
[Human Male Killed! 12,432 Xp]
[Elf Male Killed! 13,988 Xp]
[Bearkin Male Killed! 18,122 Xp]
[Human Male...]
Scrolling past all the experience notifications, I looked at the larger achievement, surprised by what I read.
[Achievement Unlocked! Butcher]
[Butcher: Not only have you killed your first person, you utterly tore them apart! Congratulations (?) on that!
Reward: Whenever you fight a person with the intent to kill, they will be slightly weakened; 2 Points into Strenght and Constitution]
Huh, that was quite... an interesting reward...
So when I intend to kill again, I'll have a little edge since people won't be at full strenght.
As for the stat increases... well, it's always nice to have more stats.
That achievement joined my other one, making me chuckle at the difference.
Breaking the Bed and Butcher...
Chuckling at them, I allowed the notifications to fade, placing the rice bowls above a fire crystal to keep them warm.
Sighing, I leaned against the counter, asking the system 'So I'm getting a bunch of experience for killing things, but not that much for actual servant things. Why's that?'
['Servant' is a broad definition. You are serving your Mistress by killing the things that dared to harm her. After all, a bodyguard is still as much a servant as a maid. Now, if you wait until you reach level 25, there will be a difference in how you progress. Until then...]
It fell silent, making me purse my lips in contemplation.
It wasn't wrong.
When I heard 'Servitude', I though of the small things like cooking and cleaning for someone important, doing some kind of menial job, not killing monsters or people for someone.
However, I guess a bodyguard could be classified as a servant...
What intrigued me though was the last part.
After level 25 there will be a difference in my progression? How?
Maybe quests?
Requirements to level up compared to just flat experience?
I shrugged, deciding that I'll deal with it when it happens.
As it stands, I still have a long ways to go to get to that level...
And it unlocks the shop as well!
So maybe it'll be quests then...
Thinking about the things I might be able to buy, I slowly lost myself in excitement thinking about the possibilities.
Maybe I could take up inscriptions, or maybe even try my hand at smithing?
Hehe~
"What're you so excited about?"
Looking to the side, I saw Jahi pulling on her shirt, a smirk on her lips.
Smiling at her, I took a step closer, trailing my fingers up her chiseled abs before reaching up to gently cup her cheek.
"About you, of course~!"
Nuzzling into my hand, Jahi's amethyst eyes shone with warmth as stared down at me, before leaning down and kissing me.
"Good~!"
We laughed, Jahi wrapping me in an embrace before turning her gaze to the bowls.
"Alright, let's eat! I'm hungry..."
Scooping up the largest bowl, Jahi sat down at the table, digging into the rice with gusto.
As for Anput and Leone, they walked around the corner with a slight blush on their cheeks, meekly sitting at the table.
Laying the bowls out, I sat down and dug in as well, feeling hungrier now that Leone had drained a bit of my blood.
Breakfast was quiet as the two other girls fidgeted at the table, staring between Jahi and I as they ate.
Finishing the meal, I placed the bowls in the sink before handing each of the women their bags.
The walk to the Academy was the same as always, the streets busy and crowded, Jahi leading us through the crowd with surprising ease due to her imposing height.
Walking behind Leone and Anput, I looked between the slumped shoulders of Leone and twitching ears of Anput, making me sigh.
Jahi was a few feet ahead, so I stepped closer to the other two, asking "Why are you two so down?"
Flinching, Leone pursed her lips, her eyes meeting mine for a moment before looking towards Anput.
"W-Well..."
"You see, you and Jahi..."
Swallowing hard, Anput looked towards the tall Demoness, before lowering her voice to a whisper.
"It's... the way you two... well, hearing you two every night... You know..."
Hearing her dancing around the question, I sighed, saying "Our nightly... spars are too distracting?"
Anput nodded, before her cheeks darkened even more as she muttered "And torturous..."
Leone nodded as well, her lava like eyes flickering between Jahi and I as she blushed furiously.
Sighing again, I gently pat the two girls on the shoulders before squeezing past them, tapping Jahi on the shoulder.
Looking back, she tilted her head in a confusion, wondering what I could want.
"When are you taking one of them on a date?"
The Demoness froze for a second, before pursing her lips.
"I was thinking tomorrow?"
"Then make it tonight. I'd feel bad if they have to listen to us again..."
Jahi just chuckled, her eyes moving towards the two embarrassed girls as she said "Oh, I thought they liked hearing us~"
Rolling my eyes, I pinched her waist, making the Demoness smile wryly down at me.
"Fine, fine! I'll take Anput out tonight!"
The Jackalkin stiffened, her obsidian eyes glued to Jahi's in surprise.
"Yeah, you heard me~ I need to spread the love equally among my puppies~"
Jahi loomed over Anput, gently stroking her ears before winking at me.
Stepping beside Leone, I whispered "It'll be just us tonight..."
The Vampire gulped, staring intently at my neck, her tongue unknowingly glossing her naturally red lips.
Oh, today was going to be quite fun~

Alright, so the next two chapters, will be LONG lemons, one of Kat x Leone and the other of Jahi x Anput, from the PoV of Kat and Jahi.
I have interesting ideas for both Anput and Leone, so I hope you enjoy!
Besides that, like I said earlier, the system will change with level 25. I think I'll do a quest system to level up, or maybe to unlock the next set of like 10 levels. Some people had good ideas when I mentioned needing to update the system, and it made me look over what a 'Servant' was.
Like Kat mentioned, I / Her instinctively thought of a maid; cooking and cleaning, doing small, menial tasks. However, a 'servant' could be anything, as long as they 'serve' a person, which could be a bodyguard. So, I was thinking of 'expanding' the servant quests to include more than just 'clean room a', 'cook this meal'.
I need to think it through more though...
