Chapter 137 Work And Mia's Evolution
[Day 56]
"Homura, I already told you I'm sorry. It won't happen again, and if I feel that it's necessary, I'll consult with you first," I say, hugging Homura from behind.
Homura and I were still in bed, while Kumo and Aika had already left for the bath.
"Hmph, Then give me a kiss, and I'll let you off the hook," Homura says, turning around.
"But didn't we kiss last night?"
"Yes, but if you want me to forgive you, you have to give me a kiss right now," Homura says.
"Okay," I say, my lips closing in on hers.
Homura saw that I was taking so long, so she instantly steals my lips and rolls on top of me. Our lips separated as she sat on top of me. One hand of hers had grabbed my wrist and held my arm above my head.
"One last step if you want me to forgive you," Homura says.
"W-what is it?" I ask.
"You are not allowed to resist. If you resist even in the slightest, we're going to restart, and you'll have to suffer from the beginning… okay?"
When did Homura become such a sadist?
Another hour passed, and I was exhausted. Homura brought me to the bath but only after accepting my apology. Aika and Kumo had been long gone, so Homura had to help me wash.
I also called in some maids to help massage our backs, and two of them were Lucy and Sophia.
"So, have you had sex yet?" I asked Lucy who was helping massage my body.
"M-Master! P-please doesn't ask such embarrassing questions!" Lucy says, her face blushing in embarrassment.
Since Lucy didn't answer my question, I turned my head towards Sophia, who was helping massage Homura's back. All she did was give me a thumbs up with a cheeky smile, which was all I needed to see.
After taking a long bath, we made our way to the changing room, where my maids helped me put on a black dress that went to my ankles. It had multiple white patterns consisting of the 4 Mountain Guardians that I had defeated.
"Nice dress. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you last night, but I didn't reveal Freya's identity. By the time I arrived, she had mostly healed with just a few scratches and burns that should heal by tomorrow," Homura says, changing into a white, frilly dress that touched her shins.
"That's good. Did you talk with Aito?"
"I indeed did. I just gave Aito some moral support and a pat on the back before leaving,"
What…
"See you later. Have fun with the training," Homura says, skipping out of the room.

As I finished putting on my jewelry, a maid spoke up about something interesting.
"Master, there has been news from the adventurers that a new region has been created within the [Mountain of Twilight]," An elven maid says as she combs my long black hair.
"Go on,"
"It is said that part of the [Waterfall Hills] has become a barren purple wasteland. No life can live in it since poison had heavily infected their air and soil. There was also a rumor about a monster that is extremely powerful lurking there. But you should pay no mind. That's just a rumor," The maid says.
"Hmmm… it seems Zehar has evolved," I muttered before leaving the changing room.
That influence over an entire biome is only possible with high stats and poison-related skills. It could only be Zehar.
…
I took another break today and visited the Adventurers guild. So no one noticed me; I used [Evolution Switch]. Selecting my chick evolution, I was able to infiltrate the main guild building without any trouble.
The main guild building had finished construction quite a while ago. Quartz pillars, steps, and walls created what looked to be something similar to the white house… but smaller. Though it was smaller than the white house, it was still one of the largest buildings within my kingdom.
Making my way through the massive crowd made up of hundreds of parties, I arrived near the front desk. There were a few receptionists in white tuxedos and white dresses, but none of them were Mia.
Since people would instantly notice me once I hop over the counter, I used [Forbidden Magic: Hermes]. Just half a second was all I needed for me to get to the back room.
It split into two long hallways that went in opposite directions. I first checked the left one, which led to a storage room filled with money, documents made from leather, and various weapons. Some thin sheets of leather had multiple requests that my citizens probably sent in.
That's a lot… It seems the guild needs to speed some of these requests up.
Just as I thought of that, an employee walked into the room. I quickly hid in the corner of the room and once again used [Forbidden Magic: Hermes].
In another split second, I had appeared in front of a door. It was at the very end of the hall to the right.
I used [Evolution Switch] once again, turning it into my siren form. Once my body had fully finished forming, I pushed open the door.
"Hey! Who dares to enter my room without knocking- Y-y-y-your highness. Please forgive me. I deserve a thousand deaths!" Mia says, fawning on the carpet in front of me.
I close the door behind us and gesture for Mia to stand up.
"Y-your highness, you got your leg and arm back?"
"No, I used a skill that let me revert to one of my previous evolutions. It's too much effort to explain but just know that your stats are higher than mine right now," I say, scanning Mia's new body.
She had evolved…

...
She's the perfect scout.
Her fire-red hair was now very bright pink. Her pupils had become a bright pink ring in the center of her eyes. She had soft, pale white skin that contrasted nicely with her brilliant pink color set.
Finally, her wings were bright pink as well. They were about half the size of my current wings, and whenever they flapped, a sparkle of pink light would emit from it.
"I've come to check on you. Are you doing well?"
"Y-yes. You don't need to bother with someone as lowly as me," Mia said.
Hmmm… those dark circles under her eyes say otherwise. It seems she hasn't had a wink of sleep in quite a while. I have nothing else to do today, so I guess I'll help her out.
"Lie down," I say, pointing to a brown couch in the corner of her room.
"May I ask why?"
"Do it and leave the rest of your work to me. You're way too tired right now, any more, and you'll collapse from exhaustion,"
"B-but-"
"Are you going to reject my offer?"
"I-I wouldn't dare," Mia says, quickly scampering towards the couch.
As soon as she laid her head on the pillow, her eyes became droopy. After a few minutes, I heard a light snore.
Once I confirmed that Mia had fallen asleep, I sat down at her wooden desk. Countless leather sheets filled with requests, economy management, and guild management were stacked on her desk.
I let out a long sigh before grabbing something similar to a pen and sliding one of the leather sheets in front of me.
[Day 57]
Exhausted. I was utterly exhausted.
I was forced to pull an all-nighter to complete about 2/3 of the present work. Without [Concentration], 2/3 would've taken much more time. Also, I had informed my wives of my late stay last night to rest easy.
Mia had woken up a few minutes ago, so I let her take charge once again. She seemed to be filled to the brim with energy, as her weary smile from yesterday was now a bright and glowing smile.

…
Lucky her… full of stamina…
Me, on the other hand… It looks like we swapped faces. I now had dark circles under my eyes, so I let the present corps have a break from training once again. They happily accepted it as I took a nap on the same couch in the corner of the room.
