“Nanaella, what is this interview about?” The tall woman said over their shared meal.

She was surprised Nanaella pulled her aside and asked her to join her for lunch, the former adventure usually only hanging around with the other receptionist these days. Oh, and with that new healer who worked for cheap. She heard they had gotten close, the lucky bunny.

“I am looking to form a new party for John-sama. I can’t go into details until you accept, but it will be long term. Very long term and quite lucrative I assure you.” The Rabbitman said, her blue eyes sparkling when she mentioned her lover.

“Well that is good and all, but why the question about becoming a con- wait? You mean for Mr. Wayne? You would be willing to sha-” She said, but was interrupted by a finger pressing against her lips.

“Shhh. That part cannot be spread around yet, but if you accept, you will be given more information along with the rest of the party members. Suffice to say though, John-sama is not just a healer that does not discriminate against us beastfolk” Nanaella said, removing her finger from her mouth. 

Terra was not sure what to make of this strange situation. The last thing she expected this morning was to be asked to be someone’s tank and concubine. She wasn’t in a relationship, though she had a friend who helped her relax those urges when they came up. Becoming someone’s concubine would mean she would have to rely only on them for those urges.

She wasn’t sure yet if she was ready to give up that freedom.

“Can I get back to you later Nanaella? I don’t think I can make this decision on the spot.” She asked her dining companion.

“Of course. If you have any questions, I will be back here this evening. Remember though, the offer will only be open until I can fill the spot. So don’t think on it too long.” Nanaella said and stood up, bringing this odd interview to an end.

“Right…right.” She replied.

Terra stayed seated for awhile longer, weighing the pros and cons of the choice that was given to her.

“Oi Lass, why ya bring me in ‘er? I thought ye was ‘iring me fer an adventuring job, not a butcher.” Thora said, looking around the room. She thought Nanaella brought her here as a potential prospect for a new adventuring party that was forming. Instead she was being grilled on some personal information, the bunny scribbling notes as they were talking.

“And why is he ‘er? I thought tis was private.” She continued, gesturing towards Galba, who was cutting up a monster carcass. 

“Don’t mind me Miss Shattertank, Nanaella has the full support of the guild behind her for this…opportunity” he said, and continued with the work in front of him.

“Right. ‘ow bout it bunny ears. What ya need me fer?”

“As I was trying to tell ya earlier Thora, I am putting a party together for John-sama. It is a long term position, with good pay and benefits. If you accept, you will get more details when the party meets.”

“Aye, got that part. What is tis ’bout bein ‘is con…conque- err…’is mistress? I gotta spread me legs for yer man er somethin? I like em well enough, but ain’t that yer job? Why ya need more?”

The bunny blushed at that last part, and she could hear the vice-guild master snickering behind her.  She didn’t really care about it that much, sex wasn’t something on her mind. Ever. She killed beast for a living, and drank like a fish at night. That all it took to make her happy. 

She supposed she would get married some day, in like another hundred years, but she just got out of the house, so she had no plans on being some ones sex toy.

Still, this was Nanaella. If she said it was a good opportunity for her, she should seriously consider it and not dismiss it off hand.

“Can ye give me some time ta think bout it? Might ‘ave a question er two fer ya.” She told the bunny before she had recovered enough to answer her last questions. 

If she didn’t need help it would be for another good reason then.

If she did need help, then that healer must be some sort of sex god, cause Nanaella, despite her age and race, was as tough as they come. (Nope, not a sex god…though he might get some divine assistance there soon)

“Yes of course. I’ll be in the mess hall in the evenings. Remember though, let me know soon, as I have other people I am interviewing.”

“Course. See ya later ears!” She said, then left.

After a few moment, Galba spoke up. “Are you seriously putting together a harem for John under the guise of an adventuring party? Can’t you at least get married first?”

Nanaella blushed again.

“Wait really?” Nanaella said, surprised at the immediately positive response. So far she had only received two maybes and eight no’s. They all had their reasons but still, she was expecting success to be easier. This cat girl saying yes caught her off guard.

“Yes, Nya! I would do anything to be with John-sama. He saved my life that day, if not from this injury, then from going into debt from those other greedy healers in town. And if the rumours are true, I could have been sold as a slave out of country.” Shallia said, crossing her arms under her breasts. They were almost as big as hers, and a bit perkier too. John-sama would definitely like them.

“Okay then, any questions then?” She asked her first recruit.

“Yeah, just one. When are you going to have his babies? I want some kittens too!” (Some Kuroka vibes here DxD world)

Nanaella blushed again. Today had been the second most embarrassing day for her in her life, only being topped by John-sama’s proposal while naked, and getting caught by Bazan.

“So let me get this straight. You want me to join this party, get close to John, then become his concubine with everyone else in the party?” Iris said, looking at the Rabbitman beside her. 

“Yeah that pretty much sums it up Iris. I would tell you more details, which would make this a whole lot easier, but Brod swore me to secrecy on them until the party is formed.” her friend said, submerging her self deeper into the bath. Her large breasts floated up in front of her, and Iris had to hold herself back from copping a feel. She did look yummy though.

“I thought you two were going to get married soon? Why are you looking for more women for him already? Are you already pregnant or something?” She said, trying to distract herself from her sensual looking Rabbitman friend.

“No, nothing like that. Let’s just say that sometime in the near future, John will be receiving many marriage proposals. I am just trying to stack his harem with women who don’t have ulterior motives…or at least not political ones, before that happens.”

“I see. You know I have always been more into women than men though right?”

“Yeah, I know, hence why I was hesitant to even ask you. So far I have one yes and two maybes, and I am out of lower ranked adventures to ask. You would think they would jump at the opportunity to have a healer in their party.”

“But the concubine thing.”

“Yeah, the concubine thing. Even the added safety of having a healer with your party doesn’t seem to change their opinions. I mean I understand their reasonings but still, I was hoping for a larger roster to pick from.”

Iris sat in thought for a moment. She wasn’t against having a relationship with John. A tall older man who could take care of her better than anyone else when she was injured sounded amazing. She just was a bit nervous around them (By bit she means a stuttering mess around most men)…hence why she liked women.

“If I agree, can you and I, you know, play around sometimes?”

“Me?” Nanaella said, sitting up and bit. Her head and her rabbit ears both cocked to the side like she was confused about the question.

So cute!

“Yes you. I have had a crush on you for years now, but you were always gone with your old party, or training with Galba. When you became a receptionist, I kept trying to ask you on a date, but you were always too busy to talk much when I was there, or you were heading out with the other receptionist to do those group dates. If I agree to join this little plan, would you be okay if we mess around a bit too?” Iris asked, willing to be part of this plan as long as she could nibble on those ears a few times.  

“I will need to ask John, but I…I don’t know. I never really considered something like that before.” She said after pausing for a few moments, her blush deepening even further. “Can you give me a day or so to think about it?”

“Sure. Make sure when you ask him you cock your ears like you did earlier. It is so cute! and blush a bit. He won’t say no.” Iris teased the poor rabbitman a bit more.

After that, they moved on to lighter topics, enjoying their soak in the bath.

“Why did you drag me into this closet of all things Nanaella?” Evie said, pushing her hat back onto its proper place on her head, and failing miserably. There was just no room in this room.

“Shh…I am avoiding John-sama during these interviews. He doesn’t need to know everything, not yet.” The Rabbitman replied.

“You mean about you trying to put together a harem for him?”

“What you already kno- wait it isn’t just a harem.”

“Walks like a duck, quack likes a duck, you can call it whatever you want, at the end of the day it is still a duck.” Evie said, giving up on fixing her hat.

“Who told you?”

“Nobody told me directly. You trying to interview almost all the low ranking female adventures over the last few days caught the attention of the others. Someone figured it out and now it is the hot gossip of the guild. How did you miss that?”

“I…I have been busy.” Nanaella stammered, clearly caught off guard at this revelation.

“Un hun…Nanaella-san, you are acting like a love sick girl right now, did you know that?”

“Ahh…really?”

“Yeah. So, I take it you want me to join this party you are putting together, and become his concubine or mistress right?”

“Pretty much, the pay is good for the adventuring side, and for the other, well John would probably want both of you to have feelings for each other too.”

“I see. So not just another hole for him, but another lover.” Evie sighed. She was past her prime now (Medieval world remember), and she gave up on the thought of having love and a family long ago. The thought of being this man’s mistress wasn’t a complete turn off, she would have to retire from adventuring eventually, and what better safety net would there be then being a healers mistress or one of his wives. It would leave her tons of time to study and further increase her knowledge of magic, maybe even get a chance to visit the floating city one day.

“If that is how you want to look at it.”

“Can you give me some time, I want to consider my options first but, I am favorable to the idea right now.”

“Of course. I will be-“

“In the mess hall in the evenings, yeah, even your speech has been passed around.”

“I feel like all my planning has gone to waste.”

“Not really, it might have been a certain pair of brothers who started pushing the rumour around more.”

“GRRRR…I am going to kill my uncles!” Nanaella said and kicked open the closet door. It connected with something, making a sickening splat.

“ARGH!!!! FUCK MY BACK!!!!” John yelled, laid out on the floor beside the closet, clearly just walking past as he had a basket of laundry and was chatting with Shallia. 

“Oh John-sama, I am soo sorry.” Nanaella said, rushing to help her fiancé up.

Evie just shook her head, the mage laughing to herself about how much the usually unflappable Rabbitman had changed in the last few weeks.

Training Hall

Brod POV

Brod had been waiting twenty minutes now for John to come down from breakfast for their normal morning training session. The man was just supposed to be dropping his laundry off with the rest of the guilds stuff before coming back, which should have only taken five minutes.

“He needs to start taking this more seriously. His life will be in danger soon.” he mused to himself. He decided to warm up a bit with a light jog, but stopped half way around the track. 

In front of him on the ground was a perfectly cubed rock, with one face dressed like the walls down here. Looking up he saw the perfectly cubed hole in the wall where he assumed this rock came out of.

“Hun, that’s weird.” He said aloud. He bent over and picked up the rock. It was a little heavy but nothing too serious. He spun it around a few times with one hand, and moved it back and forth like he was tossing a baseball between his hands. “Yeah, it seems evenly balanced. Wonder how this was made.”

On a whim, he shoved it back in the hole. It fit in snuggly and the seams disappeared. 

“What kind of magic is this?” He would have to ask John if he knew anything about that whenever he got down here. Something like that was bound to have a ton of uses. 

He looked back at the stairs, and saw John being princess carried by Nanaella down them.  

That poor man’s back. I need to help him get stronger so he doesn’t keep falling to pieces.

“Did he fall or something?” Brod called out to his god daughter.

“No…I hit him…again.” She said, blushing deeply.

Brod just shook his head. Maybe John just had bad luck when Nanaella was around. Or they both did.

* – AU. Dwarves don’t come of age until 50. There were dwarves in the LNs and they did live longer than humans but I can’t find/recall the canon version ages of that so we will go with the standard 300-500 years-ish version.
