Combat Maid Harem

“Master!?”

Humility’s loud voice came from inside.

“Miss Humility?” a man’s voice asked respectfully.

Lawrend became even more confused when he heard how the man called her. It sounded friendly and respectful.

He heard from the receptionist that she was having a meeting with the mayor, but the tone of the voice didn’t sound like a mayor to Lawrend. It was more like a good friend that was afraid to anger her.

“Mayor Krolca, I have an important business to attend to. Let us discuss this next time,” Humility said.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of the room. He was confused at first, but when he saw Aleshia and the others, a look of realization appeared on his face.

He bowed deeply and left.

“Who is that?” Lawrend asked in confusion.

“Master!”

“Master!”

Two women dashed out of the room. The first one was Humility. She embraced his neck. Nao was too late, so she could only embrace his arm.

“Who was that?” Lawrend asked again.

“That was no one important, Master,” Humility replied.

“Errr… Okay?” Lawrend nodded his head reluctantly.

He then took this time to look at the mana in their bodies.

“You are a High Mage already?”

“How did you know???”

Humility pushed him at arm’s length and looked at him in disbelief.

“I can see it,” Lawrend replied and smiled at her.

“Ehhh? That was supposed to be my surprise.”

Humility frowned.

“Wait, you can see ‘it’?” Aezel asked.

She didn’t think much about it earlier when Lawrend guessed their levels, but it became obvious to her that he was capable of seeing their levels because of his words. It all made sense to her.

“Yes. This is an ability I gained after practicing magic. I can see the mana in the air, and I can also see the fabric of space,” Lawrend explained.

“Ohhh!” x7

Lawrend’s maids looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

“Fufufufu. As expected of Master, that was one year of practicing magic for you,” Aezel said with a chuckle.

“Master, was that why you made me send my mana to you a year ago?” Ella asked with sparkling eyes.

She was confused as to why he asked her to transfer her mana to him back then. Now, it all made sense to her.

“Yes. I applied the technique that Valentina taught me. It felt like a moment for me but a year already passed.”

“Wow! Does that mean that you can use space magic now?” Ella asked.

The look of admiration in her eyes couldn’t be any more obvious. If this were an RPG, it would be already maxed out.

“I don’t know, but I think I should be.”

Since his soul already got mana pathways and mana, that would be similar to how his physical body was right now. Only when you got the two of those would you be able to practice magic.

Everyone naturally had mana in their bodies. Their mana pathways were unlocked only when they cast their first successful spell. That was how Lawrend became a Beginner Mage.

His body already had Lightning Mana that became available to him when he cast the Shock Arc spell for the first time. As for the reason why the mana from the other elements wasn’t available to him, that was because the mana was engrained into his flesh.

Only a spell could excite the mana in his flesh and guide them to the mana pathways in his body.

And then, when he started becoming more and more powerful with his lightning spells, he lost the ability to practice magic for the other elements because the lightning mana suppressed the mana that was engrained in his flesh.

It made them incapable of becoming free for his use.

“Master, do you want to guess why I just had a meeting with the mayor?” Humility asked with a smirk on her face.

“…I have no idea,” Lawrend replied.

There were many possibilities, and most of them sounded impossible to him. It was better that she just answered it herself.

“Hehe. I own this inn,” Humility revealed proudly.

“?!”

Lawrend opened his mouth widely in shock.

“To be precise, she owns 50%,” Nao said.

“Ahh! Sis Nao, you ruined my moment,” Humility exclaimed dejectedly.

“Wait a minute. Then who owns the other 50%?” Lawrend asked.

“M-Me,” Nao answered shyly.

“Huh??”

Lawrend only became confused by her answer.

He tried to think about any trait of Nao that could possibly make her own an inn from another continent. He tried for a few seconds, but nothing came to his mind.

“Come inside, Master and Sisters.” Humility beckoned them inside.

They entered the room. There was a round table with ten chairs around it. The table looked extravagant with various designs on the side, while the chairs were the same, and they even got cushions.

Lawrend chose a random seat and sat on it.

The others sat around him, and the little kids stood beside them.

“Sister Humility, take Courage,” Ramiela said.

She had been carrying Courage and Nephilim in her two arms since earlier. She was silent earlier because she focused on carrying them.

Humility’s eyes brightened, and she took Courage from her.

“Master, this is our son!” Humility said proudly.

“Mm. His is Marano Courage Horiel,” Lawrend replied.

He said the name to stop herself from saying it. He didn’t want it to be repeated to him.

“Ah!? Who told you?” Humility asked, heartbroken.

“Ramiela.”

“Ahhhh! I even planned how I would introduce him to Master…”

Humility felt sad.

“…Then I will pretend that I don’t know his name,” Lawrend said since he felt bad.

“Hmph. It’s not the same, Master,” Humility replied.

“…”

Lawrend facepalmed himself. He tried to give her another chance, but she refused it. Ahhhh… Women.

“Hehehehe… I demand compensation later, Master.”

Humility’s eyes shone evilly. Knowing her, Lawrend could guess that she would sneak up on him tonight. She was really hopeless.

“Do it early enough, so you won’t disturb my sleep,” Lawrend replied.

“Of course.”

Humility nodded.

“Anyways, how did the two of you buy this whole inn?” Lawrend asked.
