“Andycoin.”
It’s a family-only currency I made to mimic Cosmo Shop’s vice manager, Isabelle-san, and her “Isabelle Coin.”
Well, not exactly a currency. More like a service voucher.
When someone shows this, I have to create something for them or move the dragon around to help with their travel.
Recently, they’ve been using it as a backdoor trick to say “Make me pregnant as much as you can ♪,” but unless you’re someone like Cosmo-san or Hilda-san, who are sex gods, or a dragon, you won’t last that long, so I hope people realize it’s a waste of the coin.
Even normally, if asked, I’ll make sure they’re satisfied with the sex.
Besides, Hilda-san also said that even if you don’t shoot that many times, my ejaculation volume doesn’t really change the pregnancy rate.
Now, about this “Andycoin,” it’s also allowed for transfer to others.
Well, some female slaves might not find my handmade items that appealing, and there are external girls who’d rather cash it in than keep it.
Vapor Palace isn’t just for female slaves and dragons—it also has northern elves, the Onyx Maid group, the cat colony’s daughters, and Cosmo Shop’s courtesans coming and going. Depending on the situation, I might give coins to those girls too, so it’s not unreasonable for wealthy female slaves to buy that right.
I was actually anticipating that kind of flow.
“Pa-pa, this!”
”…Why do you have it, Ria?”
“It was a present from Mama on my birthday!”
”…Huh?”
Floria. Nalis’s daughter. Seven years old.
Nalis is one of the few female slaves who are heavy users of coins (transport for sightseeing and adventure trips). She seems more likely to use it herself than to give it away to a child.
Even though she’s the type to keep it for herself, how did she manage to set aside enough for Floria? I remember it being pretty expensive when I tried to buy one from someone else.
Also, why is she giving it to a child?
Especially lately, there have been a lot of submissions for erotic purposes, so I brace myself, wondering if Nalis has finally succumbed to the madness of teaching her child about such things.
“You can use this to go out anywhere you want with Papa, right?”
”…Uh, uh, yeah… definitely.”
“Anywhere with Papa” isn’t technically part of the conditions, but if my child wants to ask for it, I’m not opposed to accompanying her, so I keep quiet about that.
“I want to go into the northern forest! They say Christmas Town is really beautiful!”
”…Ah, I see…”
Naris is an elf from the southern plains, so his daughter Floria is considered “an outsider” in the forest.
Recently, half-breeds like Anzeros and the forest elves’ children are getting accepted more easily, but since Floria was raised outside the palace, she still has no connection to the forest. Even if someone were to take her there, she probably doesn’t have many people to rely on.
Come to think of it, Naris really doesn’t have many friends in that sense… I realized this and reflected on it.
“Father, you’ve been there before, right?”
“Well, a few times…”
“Take me! I’ll give you a kiss!”
“Alright, leave it to me.”
No, just to be clear, I’m absolutely not attracted to Floria in that way.
It’s just that when a father is told his daughter will give him a kiss, he’d naturally feel motivated to try, right?
Besides, the Sakura clan village is one of the most relaxed areas in the Nine Clans’ territories, after the Blue, Red, and White clans. It’s fine. The only time I feel uneasy is when I pass through Silver.
…As for why Blue is more relaxed than White, it’s because we ended up creating the grand-grandson of the head of the Blue clan.
The clan has always been the type to not sweat the small stuff, but these days I’m practically treated like family by the Voice old man. In recent clan meetings, it seems the Voice old man is now fully acting as Irene’s guardian.
I’m grateful for that, but am I really the one wrecking the forest all by myself?
Well, setting that aside.
◇◇◇
I’m going to set up an appointment with Christie.
Christie had her child around the same time as Naris did, and the child was named Wedge. It’s a boy.
As is common among the powerful, the old man didn’t approve of mixing Wedge with other commoner children at the palace, so he was raised in the clan estate from infancy, despite being half-elf. He only visits occasionally.
Every time he comes, he seems flustered by the palace’s full-naked paradise, which makes the cats and courtesans tease him relentlessly. I’m worried he might grow up twisted.
Christie says, “I think it’s better not to hide the fact that he’s from such a family,” so she just lets Wedge’s experiences unfold.
Anyway, moving on.
“So, I want to take Ria to the cherry blossom territory for a two-night trip.”
“Why don’t you just take her normally?”
“Since we’ve used the coin, we have to treat it properly. I’ve decided that dragon can move it has value, so if we water down the plan with a half-baked trip, it’ll affect our credibility later. …I think we should try going directly to the cherry blossoms without using the teleportation gate and let the dragon carry us there.”
[English Text]: “That’s… We’d have to inform other clans about it, or they might suspect something’s up. That’s for sure.”
“I think Christy will agree too.”
“The area inside the barrier in the northern forest is vast. If we try to move there without using the teleportation gate, it’ll be a big journey, like going to Celesta or the shore of Lake Valerie.”
“For Floria, who wants to see beautiful scenery, I plan to take her on a tour of the forest from the sky and bring her to the cherry blossoms.”
“Still, that’s quite extravagant…”
“But it’s not bad to make her realize she’s the child of a dragon rider too.”
“No, using a coin to move a dragon and monopolizing Master for yourself…”
”…That part?”
“I remember that the idea of using the coin to move the dragon was Emma-san’s proposal to reduce Master’s burden.”
”…Now that you mention it, that’s true.”
“The burden the dragon was supposed to shoulder isn’t being shouldered after all.
Rather, I’m being double-crossed.
“No, no, but listen, I really want to be proactive about fulfilling these requests. After all, Ria is my daughter too. Sure, she might already be one of hundreds, but that doesn’t mean she can just be treated casually.”
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it. I’m just saying it’s extravagant, that’s all.”
But then, Cristi raised a finger.
“As female slaves, we understand. But if the children start complaining… it’ll be a huge hassle to calm them down.”
“Y-yeah…”
The female slaves are being considerate of me, maintaining the pretense that I’m acting entirely on my own volition and free will. If their demands start exceeding my intentions and overwhelming me, it’d all be for nothing.
Anyway, leaving aside the female slaves who are already restrained, what about the children making demands on me?
They’re just kids, so of course they have the right to speak up. And while I should reject anything unreasonable as a parent, managing hundreds of them would be impossible.
Tasks that could normally be carefully considered within the narrow confines of parent-child relationships would quickly become unmanageable with this many.
And if favoritism among the children develops—those who are favored and those who aren’t—it’ll create a temperature gap, leading to factions. That’d be nothing short of hellish.
So, even though she’s my adorable daughter, I shouldn’t just indulge her without maintaining a certain distance… That’s what Cristi is subtly implying, I think.
G
”…But I want to have this kind of wholesome family event… I want to have the memories of being a normal father more than anything…”
”…Y-yes, you’re right.”
Christie averts her gaze.
She understands. In the palace, things are now completely dominated by Elenia’s pushiness.
Using “I’m on birth control” as an excuse, she’s been pushing for everything from sex in various positions to wearing hand-me-down collars and even requesting anal sex, and some of the girls have started getting restless, wondering if they should follow Elenia’s lead…?
With the girls who’ve already settled into palace life, trying to play the role of a normal father just leads to them expecting “So you’re going to take it to the next level? Like in those erotic scrolls?” and so on. So, Floria’s pure, straightforward requests are actually quite precious.
◇◇◇
For the dragon ride, I chose Lyla because Floria is most attached to her.
Lyla herself has a peculiar fondness for Nalis, and in Polka life, she often acts as a kind of mentor to Nalis.
Because of that, Floria seems to think of Lyla almost like an aunt. I suspect she treats her more as family than I do.
Well, everyone is technically family, but it’s only natural that the girls who live in the palace or the colonies have a slightly different sense of things compared to us.
“Leila is fast, so make sure your clothes are tightly secured. If you’re not, the wind could blow you off.”
“Hohoho. Riding on my back is now a special honor. Be mindful of that, Floria.”
Floria reached out her hand and crawled onto the belly of the black dragon, lying flat.
To ensure both of them could ride comfortably, a seat had been made along Leila’s spine, using forest wood and dragon materials to fill the gaps between the spines.
If this were a smaller creature, it might be called a “saddle,” but calling it that would be too ordinary, given how naturally it fit as a seat.
I thought dragons might dislike having such devices attached to their backs, but Leila dismissed my concern with a single laugh: “What are you being so modest about now?”
Well… yeah. Dragons are the kind who would even endure having parts of their bodies cut off if it meant satisfying a rider’s demands, so this was a bit churlish of her to say. Still, I wondered if this might be something they found incredibly humiliating.
But it turned out to be unnecessary worry, as we soon entered the forest barrier and took off.
“Ria, make sure you tighten your belt. It might be uncomfortable, but if you fall off, you’ll die.”
“Mmm. This is so much better than that.”
“It’s not better. I’ve had Mya keep an eye out just in case, but even with a regular ‘house,’ there have been plenty of people who’ve fallen off before.”
Mya was also on board as an accident precaution.
Mya’s physical abilities are on a completely different level, so even if she fell, there’d be no reason to worry. She’s just standing normally on my back, but for Floria, who’s annoyed by belts, it might be too much stimulation.
“Normally, the ‘hut’ is locked up tight, so I don’t think Lia has ever seen the scenery from a flying dragon before. …Don’t let anything slip, okay? Mama used to wet herself all the time when she was scared of Lila.”
“Oh, how nostalgic.”
“Really? Mama should’ve already been a knight when she met Papa.”
“Well, even knights are usually scared of dragons.”
While listening to this irrelevant talk, Lila sat up and slowly began to flap her wings, rising into the air.
Naturally, Floria doesn’t show any signs of the phobia Nalis has. That’s a relief.
…Though the very same Nalis is still traveling using coins today.
I thought about taking them both out together after they got back, but since it seems like they’re going on a tour of the Quica area, they might not return for over two weeks (there are quite a few sightseeing spots and mazes near Quica). I decided to save that for another time.
“Wow… so fast!”
Soon, Floria began to celebrate as Lila’s speed picked up.
I’d heard she just stays at home doing embroidery, but it seems she doesn’t dislike thrilling experiences after all.
As I petted the girl, whose bright red twin tails swayed as she frolicked, I basked in the satisfaction of being a “father” again for the first time in a while.
Yes, yes, this is what family service is all about. Making your kids happy.
“Don’t just get excited about speed. The ground is beautiful too. Look, see that mountain? It’s called the Sacred Mountain. Apparently, it’s like an optical illusion from here, but it’s real.”
”…??”
The space was distorted, so even though I could see it, the distance wasn’t necessarily accurate.
Normally, mountains like that would only be visible at most a hundred or two hundred kilometers away, but apparently, the Sacred Mountain was over a thousand kilometers from the edge of the Silver Territory.
…It’s pointless to explain all this to Floria. I don’t even fully understand it myself; it’s just some random trivia I picked up.
“How long until we get there?”
“Lila, how long?”
“Ah, about four hours or so. Let’s have Christy prepare dinner for us.”
“Eh? Even though we’re so far away, Christmas Mama is already there!?”
“There’s a shortcut.”
“I also want to go that way!”
Ugh, ugh… Father’s heartfelt plan is being denied.
“Well, don’t be like that. You wouldn’t get to fly over the forest breeze like this if it weren’t for a time like this.”
Lyla stepped in to back me up and even threw in some acrobatic flying—a full 360-degree spin.
Floria was having fun, saying things like “Ah!” but I felt a bit tense. Honestly, they hadn’t prepared the seats for backward flying.
Fortunately, there were no issues.
Mya almost fell but just kept standing there normally without holding on. How does she do it? Is she using magic or something?
“After we arrive, we’ll set up a tent, light a campfire, and sleep together as a family, just the three of us.”
“Yeah!”
This trip is also a camping training exercise.
It’s been a while since I’ve used Celesta’s military camping set, so I’ll teach Floria the joy of the outdoors.
Floria, who I thought was more of an indoor type, is really looking forward to it, so maybe she’s just been raised that way, but deep down, she might actually be longing for an adventurous lifestyle like Nalis… I wonder.
Ah, well, if a child grows up listening to stories about Narisu, it’s no wonder they’d come to admire him.
And isn’t it just like a father to teach them the joys and struggles of something like this?
Mhm, mhm. This is shaping up to be a very good memory-making experience.
◇◇◇
Later.
“Father hates me!”
“That’s not true.”
“But… you only dote on Ria and Elenia!”
I think you’re cute too.
“Then…”
“But I won’t let you inside me. Elenia is enough.”
*“That’s so unfair…!”
[User]: “No, seriously, is that really how it is? I’ve already explained to you countless times that it’s not okay for a father to do that kind of thing.”
[User]: “But you did it with Elenia!”
The one who caused the most explosive outburst was, surprisingly, Frena.
[Frena]: “Elenia’s a pervert, so I just gave up on her!”
[User]: “She’s my daughter, after all♪”
“As her mother, I think I’m allowed to protest this, Selen.”
[User]: “Even so, she’s currently in the middle of mating with a fat belly, right?”
It’s good that you’re strong on that point. Neia is also waiting in line for mating with a fat belly.
That means Frena is also her daughter, which makes the conditions equal.
[User]: “Mom, say something too!”
[Assistant]: ”…Um, Master, what should I say?”
[User]: “For now, try to address things like common sense or whatever.”
“Please don’t ask for the impossible in this situation…”
Vapor Palace was once again filled with steam, skin tones, and semen.
