Chapter 78

I got back into the bath, and the two girls remained a bit more civil for the remainder of the bathing. Problems arose once again when we made it back to the inn. No, the bunnykin didn’t cause any troubles. She deliberately refused to look at us as we walked back up to my inn room. The problem came that we had a single bedroom and there were three of us. I wasn’t about to ask the bunny to rent more rooms, not that I could afford them after what I had left after buying Miki.

Previously, it was just me and Lydia. Although we hadn’t had sex since that one night, we were at least comfortable enough sleeping in the same bed together. However, three was a crowd, and even the thought of snuggling with Lydia felt a little embarrassing with Miki in the room.

“It is okay, I will sleep on the floor,” Miki explained, her pale face being quite noticeable in the poorly-lit room. “It’s no less uncomfortable than the wagons. I’m used to this.”

Lydia shook her head. “No! That would be wrong…”

Even though they had the talk, assuming Lydia was over her jealousy would be a bit premature. Still, she was a good girl, and wouldn’t want to suggest an ill woman who had recently died should take the floor.

As a result, we decided to all crowd in the room. Lydia first tried to lie in-between the pair of us, but Miki complained because her tail kept slaping Miki’s leg and she couldn’t get to sleep. Lydia was nearly in tears claiming she couldn’t help it. The final configuration put me in the middle with both girls on either side. One girl was snuggled against my chest, while the other was laying a little lower. I could feel their hot breath on my skin and the scent of both girls assaulted my nostrils. How I had ended up in this situation was anyone’s guess.

Before drifting off, I put my hand on Miki and cast an assortment of spells. Using the mana actually made me a bit sleepy, so it had a dual effect of making sure Miki woke up in the morning and making me sleep deeper. First, I used a moderate heal, then I cured disease, weak heal poison, and finally remove curse. I found it off that only poison seemed to have levels. If there was a weak heal poison, it meant that there were probably stronger poisons in the world. However, remove curse seemed to be a catch-all, as was cure disease.

I wondered if diseases included cancer? I think a lot of people back home would cry if they realized I had the ability to cure cancer at my fingertips. How about sexually transmitted diseases? Well, I didn’t want to live such a lifestyle where I’d need to find out about that. Perhaps that was subconsciously one of the reasons I decided to forgo the busty wolfgirl. Who knew what she’d be bringing home if I chose to play with her.

Even with exhausting myself healing Miki, I still felt sleep was hard in coming. The next morning, we’d hit up the guild and Miki could tell me all kinds of things with her ability to read. After that, I could plan out how we'd level more properly to unlock the best skills for all of us. Perhaps a sleep spell would exist. I could really use it.

Despite my complaining, it only felt like a long time. I ended up drifting off to sleep with two women in my arms. Once again, I found myself thinking that this world wasn’t that bad after all.

That’s when everything went crazy.
