Chapter 692: Returning Back To The Training Camp
Chapter 692: Returning Back To The Training Camp
I was finally returning back to the others.
Granted, it was only a week that I was away from them but it felt way longer than that.
I blame Hiandoca for that, by the way. It's definitely her fault.
Also… In case anyone is interested to know… I ended up sleeping together with Mary and yes, I was connected to her throughout the entire night.
It was morning again and for some reason, Mary had me dress up in my normal clothes instead of my maid uniform.
I guess I wasn't expected to jump straight back into training so soon or maybe everyone was also taking a break today?
Even when I asked Mary, she just smiled and told me that this was Mother's instructions.
I decided to just roll with it and stepped through the teleportation portal that Mary had made without further question.
When I emerged on the other side of the portal, I found myself standing in front of what appeared to be all the maids and butlers of the family inside a spacious and lavishly decorated hall.
Just as I was wondering what was happening, everyone started cheering and streamers popped out from the side to shower everyone with confetti pieces.
What? What are we celebrating?
"Congratulations, Young Mistress!" All of them cheered at the same time.
Eh? Me? What did I do? It's not my birthday yet, is it? Yeah, it's not.
So what are they celebrating about me? The Dungeon clearing? But that's not even my first Dungeon clear and it's not even that hard of a Dungeon?
I then noticed the banner overhead and I narrowed my eyes at it.
'Congratulations on moving to the second year of school!'
…
Err… I mean… I'm just advancing a grade aren't I? Wasn't that a given? Do we really even need to celebrate this?
In fact… I actually forgot that we were nearing the start of my second year already.
It feels like a lot has happened in just this year alone huh… And it's only my first year of school.
I wonder what the second year for me would look like? I hope it'll just be a normal school year…
I felt something hit my chest and I looked down to see Lisa clinging to me and stuffing her face in between my boobs.
"Ahhhhnnn!! Aster's scent!! Sniff, sniff, sniff~ It's been so loooooong!! Ahhhnnnnn~"
Her hands even started to roam around my body and would have reached my boobs if Katsuki hadn't appeared to pull her away from me.
"That's enough, Miss Lisa. You are troubling Mistress."
"Ahhhnnn~ Noooo~ I need more Asternium! I haven't replenished enough yetttt! I'm gonna die without itttttt!!"
"Wahahaha! Welcome back, Sister Aster!! Everyone missed you!" Odeta laughed, clapping me on the shoulder.
Except she was clapping me on the right shoulder while she was standing on my left so I was pulled up against her and I had the perfect opportunity to fondle her abs so that's what I did.
Ehehehe~ Squish~
I then felt someone else hug me from my other side and I turned my head to see Delmare hugging me with her entire face blushing red from embarrassment, my Siren so focused on the hug that she could not maintain concentration on her magic so her legs transformed back into her tail.
Right then, I felt someone hug me from behind and I realised it was Lisa again who managed to slip out of Katsuki's grasp to return here once more.
Katsuki looked rather frustrated but I realised that she was actually holding herself back too so I gestured at her to come closer.
She hesitated only for a moment before she came towards me and I pulled her into a hug as well.
While she may look reluctant to receive the hug from me, her tail was wagging quite violently behind her, so much so that it was actually creating small gusts of wind from how fast it was wagging.
I then turned to Emilia who was watching the entire thing from a few steps away, "Are you not coming?"
"I'm good… Thanks."
"Ara, ara~ In that case, allow Mama to join in too~"
I didn't even get to say anything before Mother appeared from behind and pulled us all into a giant group hug, shoving the back of my head directly in between her boobs.
I guess Mary wasn't kidding that they would get distracted by my presence but I have a feeling that she had also stalled me just so that they could set up this surprise party for me.

I'm so touched~
I hugged them all back and simply basked in their warmth for a good long while before Mary came to Mother's side.
"Madam, the party?"
"Ara? It seems like I almost got carried away! Ufufufu~ Now, now, everyone~ We can all enjoy my little one later. First we have to celebrate her advancing to the next year of school~"
I wanted to point out that Odeta and Delmare will also be advancing together with me but it looked like those two either never thought about it or were perfectly fine with just rolling with it.
I have a feeling that Odeta belonged to the former while Delmare belonged to the latter in this case.
But seriously, it's just me moving from the first year of school to the second year right? Was there really a need to organise a celebration for this?
That was the question that was going through my head until I saw trolleys of food being brought in.
More specifically, it was trolleys laden high with sweets of pastries of every kind.
Leading the front of the procession with her chest puffed high was Eldoria, the Off-Worlder patisserie chef that I 'recruited'.
Ok… You know what? I'm all for this celebration now~ In fact, let's do it even more from now on~
There were cakes, cookies, jellies, puddings, ice creams, pastries, pies and various other varieties all piled high on said trolley which were then moved to the table that I hadn't noticed earlier.
With such a spread in front of me, I couldn't help but drool at it, which Katsuki was quick to help me wipe up with a handkerchief before my drool dripped past my chin.
Lisa pouted at her, "You could have just let me licked that up, couldn't you?"
Katsuki did not even deign to respond to her question.
As for me… I had my attention locked on the sweets from the very start.
Sure, I already ate Mary's sweets yesterday but that was simply what I might eat during tea time with the other girls. That meant that the spread of the sweets was only prepared to be just enough for a tea session, which was less than a tenth of the amount of sweets in this room right now.
In other words… I want to dive into this right now.
Right then, Mother clapped her hands together , "Ufufufu~ My little one is anxious now~ I declare that this celebration is now officially open and anyone who wishes to feed my dearest child is free to do so~"
…
What?
Wait, I didn't hear incorrectly right? Did Mother really just say that they're supposed to feed--
"Mistress, I have brought you some cookies, please enjoy them like this."
Katsuki had unfurled her handkerchief to reveal several small pieces of cookies that she had picked up with her hand to offer a piece to me.
I did not even hesitate and immediately moved my head forward to snatch up the piece of cookie with my mouth, letting out a soft moan when I tasted the sweetness of the cookie that was inside my mouth.
Just as I swallowed, another piece was presented in front of me and I immediately opened my mouth and allowed Katsuki to feed me another piece.
Mmmmm!! It's sooo gooooood!!
"Hey! Not fair!! You already had some prepared ahead of time!!" Lisa protested.
Katsuki did not even turn in her direction as she fed me another piece, "There was no rule that said we could not make our own sweets meant to feed Mistress with ahead of time, was there?"
"You cheater!! Wait for me!!"
There was a scramble as all the others rushed towards the table laden high with sweets and they started to pile their own plates high with said sweets.
At first I thought they were there to eat the sweets and I almost felt a little sad that I wouldn't be able to eat as many sweets as I thought I could until I saw them rushing back to queue behind Katsuki.
Wait… Were they taking the sweets so that they could come here and feed me as well?
I thought Mother was actually joking about it but they're really participating in doing that?
What's so fun about feeding me sweets anyway? I'll have you know that I am perfectly fine with eating these sweets myself ok?
I don't need someone to-- Ohhhh! Katsuki just took out another handkerchief that has some brownies wrapped in it and she's feeding them to me!
Gimme, gimme!
Om nom nom nom~
