“They’re not my girlfriends” You tell your mother flat out.
“W-what? Well where is she then?” Elizabeth wanted to know.
“I’m not in a relationship yet. Chloe is my adoptive daughter” You reveal.
“…Why didn’t you say that earlier!?” Elizabeth flushed red.
“I was trying to, but you know how you get when you set your mind on something” you snap at her.
Elizabeth flinched, her expression softening from a stern glare to a soft frown.
“I-I just wanted to make sure nobody took my baby boy” Elizabeth muttered with a quivering in her tone.
Oh no…it’s your kryptonite; you’re not certain if she knows this, or not, but whenever you get especially upset with her, she tends to not take it well. You know she only means well so it does break her heart when her efforts only make you feel worse.
“I’m sorry for interrupting…gosh you must think I’m a terrible mother for being so-*sniff*-strict with-*hic*-y-you…” Elizabeth whimpered.
“N-no-no it’s fine really-I just…there is a lot going on for me that’s all! Really!” You try to assure her.
“R-really? Y-you’re not mad at me?” Elizabeth squeaked.
“*Sigh~* no…no I’m not…c’mon you know I love you…mom…” you reply.
“*Sniff*-Thank you…I’m sorry…I get so emotional sometimes, forgive the intrusion, now then…where were we…” Elizabeth stopped her whimpering.
“Mamma’s boy” Fubuki snickered
“Cut it out! Anyways, uh~ mom, everyone, these are my co-workers, and this my mom and my sisters” You introduce them all together.
“This is the group you’ve sided with? I was expecting something with a little more…class, and etiquette” Elizabeth confessed as she started to recover.
“W-we have plenty of class too” you assure her.
“I’m important right Betsy? You think I’m special right? *Sniff-hic*-you’re my only friend” Katy was…also starting to recover.
“Sh~sh~ it’s okay Katy, and I’m not you’re only friend, we all love you and your very important work” Betsy cooed
“Class? Etiquette? What are those? Some sort of spice?” Fubuki wondered.
“I-I can-u-um class is~um~h-hi~um~c-can I get~b-back to you?” Mizari stuttered.
“Oh~ you girls are giving me ze blush, but I have to say my favorite was ze moment I first had my mains on a vibrator for ze first time! Tre bien night I had~!” Josephine squeals in delight.
“Ah~! We watched your first video at least a dozen times!” Lisa proclaimed.
“A dozen, and one times” Veronica squealed.
“W-well they’re really nice people” you murmur.
“I’m half tempted to remove you from your job and transfer you as a diplomat for the family. Our neighboring families have taken a great interest in you Anon” Elizabeth said.
“You mean for the kingdom of the Undead? I mean yeah I liked hanging out with them when I was a kid, but I never really clung to them that much…plus they didn’t seem to care about me in general before” you confess.
“True…but I cannot see this as a better alternative” Elizabeth said.
“Hey~ we got someone who was from one of those kingdoms don’t we? Yeah, our doctor is one of them” Fubuki said
“Don’t we have a meeting to go to?” You ask.
“We have to wait for Katy to recover, let’s just lounge on your couch and watch some television” Fubuki said.
“Non! I wish to take a bath~ I am most sec and need some water on my scales” Josephine.
“That sounds like a great idea, bathroom’s upstairs?” Fubuki asked.
“There’s no way you’re all going to fit in my bathtub” You tell them.
“None to be worrying mon ami! Katy is ze magic girl, and fix problem with brillante magic” Josephine said.
“See Katy! You are needed, what will we do without you?” Betsy assured.
“Really?” Katy said looking up.
“You’re our boss, of course you mean something to us I suppose” Fubuki said.
“N-no one will hire m-me l-like you did” Mizari confirmed.
“Oui! You are ze most important thing in my life…next to my blog” Josephine supported.
“Girls~*sniff* you guys are the best!” Katy was touched.
“Yes, we are. Come let’s go take a bath together, and leave Anon to catch up with his family before we start our meeting” Fubuki said.
You notice they’ve brought donuts among other breakfast stuff, you notice Betsy is carrying ingredients rather than snacks. Betsy catches your eyes, and the two of come to the same thought.
“If you don’t mind I would like to use your kitchen to make us some breakfast after a bath” Betsy asked.
“Sure, my place is your place” you assure her.
The girls allow themselves up your stairs, luckily so far there aren’t any concerns with them being too wide or long to move about in the building with difficulty. Guess this means you could take in just about any kind of child here…interesting.
“It appears we have interrupted something” Lisa said.
“Oh yeah, they’re here for a meeting they invited me to…what a crazy coincidence” you answer dryly.
“Well even if you have no spouse I’m not leaving so soon…besides I still haven’t gotten myself acquainted with our new member of the family” Elizabeth stated.
“Oh yeah! Chloe that’s right, hey come meet your grandma” you call out.
“*Pfft* Grandma, oh how the years roll on doesn’t it?” Veronica added.
“Yes, a grandmother! Goodness I was wondering which one us would have turned you into one” Lisa said.
“You’re a granny now, ha!” Francine teased.
“Silence, while I am not perturbed at being called a grandmother, I…rather not be called that by anyone other than our newest addition to the family.
“W-who me?” Chloe asked pointing at herself.
“Yes, being adopted has no meaning to me, my son saw something special in you. A potential to be great, and I trust in my son’s choice. So you are a member of the clan here, now, and forever” Elizabeth declared.
“Potential? Me?” Chloe asked as she now turned to you.
“Well that wasn’t my initial reason, but it is a big one nonetheless. I have hope in you, I know you can be someone really amazing and I want to be there for you every step of the way” you assure her.
“Correct, although this hasn’t happened in quite a while…what should we do about this? No banquet has been prepared, I haven’t reserved a quartet to play sonnets for a ball either. This is all happening so fast” Elizabeth said.
“How about we just skip the fancy party, and just-I don’t know…talk?” You suggest.
“An excellent idea! She must familiarize herself with our family lineage to be accepted into our family name” Elizabeth was pleased with the suggestion.
“It’s gonna be a really~ long talk then why don’t I tell her some really interesting things” Veronica chimed in.
“I agree with Veronica, we can skip all the gritty scenes can’t we mother? And really Veronica your favored tales will just confuse the poor dear. Allow me to take her under my cape and instruct her” Lisa asked.
“That sounds boring~ I wanna play with her! Besides everything you ‘both’ do is boring!” Francine said.
“By the way, where’s dad? I thought you would have dragged him along?” You ask.
“Your father is busy in Romania, he’s visiting our relatives who live much farther away. It was too important to skip I’m afraid…I trust my servant would do an excellent job representing us, he’s…very special after all” Elizabeth explained murmuring that last part.
“You know, my dad would appreciate that more if you said it to his face a little more often” Veronica asked.
“W-well! There’s no reason to inflate his ego like that! His humble persona is something I’ve grown fondly attached to! A flower in concrete of egotism I have to face on a daily basis dealing with work, and family” Elizabeth blushed red.
“You’re looking more and more like father everyday, we really ought to, put the finishing touches to make it complete” Lisa said.
“Okay! You guys fight over Chloe, and I’ll set everything up!” You quickly exclaim before they bring up ‘that’ topic again.
“H-huh!?” Chloe gasped as she was currently sandwiched by your family each wanting to do their own thing.
“The family tree is anything, but boring, I can retell stories of our powerful ancestry, and ancestry I must remind you to be proud of now that you’re one of us. And though I will confess our tales of our family interacting with the spirit world is…lacking there are nonetheless little moments here and there in which we collaborated” Elizabeth assured.
“And then there was that one ghost that payed a visit to our manor and caused quite a scene, do you remember Veronica?” Lisa asked.
“Don’t remind me, this happened while our brother was still in High School, the little spirit came into my body and had me thinking all sorts of things about him, good thing I was so mentally tough, and he were so adorably young or who knows what I would have done to him. Still looking at Anon know, I can’t help but feel some of her influence is still lingering” Veronica teased.
“But I think you’re pretty neat, I don’t talk to a lot of ghosts so you’re like totally cool to me right now” Francine assured.
“I-I think you look cool too, I’ve never talk to one of your kind before. They told me you guys attack everyone and suck them dry like raisins-oops! I’m sorry! I-I don’t think that though honest!” Chloe said.
“Oh sweetie we have so much to teach you dear” Veronica said.
“Of course! Such a crude rumor like that must be debunked and explained” Lisa said.
“T-that’s all nice and all but aren’t you all a little too close?” Chloe gasped as the Vampires and Dhampir surrounded themselves.
You leave Chloe to her fate while you finish up the preparations when all of a sudden you hear someone calling out to you from upstairs.
“Anon! Can you help us with our bath~!” Fubuki calls from upstairs.
“No~!” You shout back.
“Anon~ Mizari and I need an extra pair of hands for our rear ends! They’re just too long for our hands to reach!” Katy called out.
You hear a loud squeak, a mixture of more mumbling and loud gasping followed by something that you can only describe as something spurting outwards followed by a loud *thud*.
“Oh! Look at what you did! You caused Mizari to nosebleed again, the poor dear” Fubuki said.
“I’m so sorry little one! I keep forgetting how sensitive you are about this sort of thing…you two shared a conversation, I had assumed you overcame your fear of boys” Katy apologized.
“Mon amour! I have just realized ze grievous of errors I’ve done to you! I wish to how you say apologize sincerely…honest!” Josephine called out.
“Not buying that for a second, but I will accept your apology right now!” You call back.
…
“Anon, get in the bath with us” Fubuki called out.
“You could at least try to make up an excuse” you tell her.
“We can hear everything you’re saying! And if you think I’m gonna let your lewd inexperienced hands touch my baby boy, you’re sorely mistaken!” Elizabeth shouted.
“Momma’s boy!” Fubuki mocked you again.
“Yeah! Only we could do that with our sibling!” Veronica defended.
“Those were a lot of fun! Wanna take a bath together too Chloe!?” Francine asked.
“I-I just had a bath last night, but if daddy says it’s alright…” Chloe was thinking about it.
“Little brother~ ignore the lust driven pedestrians upstairs and come share a moment with your family here, I wish to know how much you’ve…changed over the years we’ve been apart” Lisa called out.
“Yeah, come on! It’ll be fun, we have so many things to tell her and we need you to vouch for us!” Veronica called out.
“Aw~ do I have to? I mean I really want Chloe to think I’m cool” you whine.
“Anon, listen to your mother and get over here!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
You sigh to yourself, and try to regain what little sanity is keeping you upright, and focused.
Well it’s not a perfect meeting room in an office building, but it’ll do for the time being. You decide to leave it as it, and return to your family before they get really impatient.
“I’m on my way” You reply.
You leave the dining room and head over to the living room where you spot your sisters and mother sitting on the couch.
“Weren’t you going upstairs to your boss?” Chloe asked.
“Thought about it, but you know, family comes first right? Not everyday I get to see everyone again so we should spend it together” you answer. “(Plus I gotta make sure they aren’t spreading any weird stories about me)” You think to yourself.
Your sisters smile brightly while you see your mother quickly turn away for some reason.
“T-that’s only natural right? I-I mean I’ve already knew you were going to choose us first” Elizabeth declared.
“I’ve never seen mom look so happy before, it’s actually a little creepy” Veronica said.
“S-shut up! I’m not happy I-I’m proud!” Elizabeth assured.
“So what are we talking about? What did I miss?” You ask returning from the dining room making it just in time.
“Come sit with us dear brother, we are just giving Chloe here a quick history lesson of our family. We’re currently talking about our own grandmother, now that our mother has become one” Lisa said.
“Hey-hey! What did I tell you about calling me a grand-mother!?” Elizabeth proclaimed now turning back to you.
“Relax you don’t look a day older than thirty mom…in fact that’s how you’ve always looked since I was born from what dad told me” you explain.
“Thirty!? How rude! Your father told me I didn’t look a day older than twenty!” Elizabeth protested.
You take a seat in between your mother and Veronica. Veronica was about to slide herself over on your lap but was quickly beaten by Francine and Chloe who jumped on both you. Francine sticking out her tongue and blowing a raspberry at Veronica, clearly foiling her plan.
A small victory against the Vampire horde in her mind.
“Yes now then-*ahem*- talking about my mother. Hm~ my mother was quite hard on me, but our lives back then were very rough. We couldn’t hold a manor longer than a year without some noble hero or violent mob raiding us and driving us away with their holy relics and weapons. Not to mention the casualties and even sacrifices that had to be made. Your grandfather being one sacrifice that evidently turn the tide in our favor” Elizabeth was solemn.
“We only met him for a brief moment, but from what I’ve gathered was that he was a man of selfless generosity, strength, loyalty, and kindness. Nothing but the best aspects a man could have” Liza said.
“He was really something! You know I think you and grandma have the same taste in men, you know because dad is pretty impressive too” Veronica said.
“Yes he is~” Elizabeth started swooning until she caught us all staring and snickering. “*Ahem!* In any case we’ve come a long way, and now our manor has become a permanent residence. Built from the ground up on the soil we were born on after years of conflict now at an end” Elizabeth concluded.
“You know when you say it like that, it kind of gives me some big shoes to fill” you reply.
“Do no concern yourself with all that trifle, you’re already starting to become the man we’ve hope you would be. Leaving the family to study on your own might have been…a bit too much though” Elizabeth couldn’t quite explain herself.
“You should have seen her lil’ bro, she was shouting and pouting for days” Veronica said.
“I was not!” Elizabeth shouted.
“’Oh~! My son has forsaken me! What have I done wrong!? I knew I shouldn’t have been so hard on him!’” Veronica mimicked her mother.
“Silence! That was forbidden information you’ve revealed!” Elizabeth cried out.
“She really did feel upset about you moving, and we were so lonely without you too, you’re quite irreplaceable you know” Lisa said.
“I-uh…I mean I don’t know what to say…now I feel a little bad for moving out, but you all knew I had to do that right?” You tell them.
“You should! It was all too soon! You should have waited for us to prepare you better! It must be very difficult for you!” Elizabeth said.
“Well things have happened of course, but that’s just the norm of life ain’t it? I didn’t want to be coddled all my life” you explain.
“You could have waited a little longer!” Elizabeth said.
“She really misses you” Veronica teased.
“That’s-! Well in any case, it’s good to see you’re doing well, not that I was surprise that you were” Elizabeth said.
“Well I couldn’t have done it without your help, I mean paying for this house and all. You really didn’t have to” you thank.
“No son of mine will live in anything smaller than two bedrooms! In fact no one in my family will live that way!” Elizabeth said.
“You’re spoiling us mother” Lisa said.
“Well I’m not complaining that much…hey Chloe! Wanna hear something funny” Veronica asked.
“No she doesn’t” you quickly state knowing full well what she’s planning
“Hey Lisa remember that adorable outfit he wore on his fourth Halloween?” Veronica asked.
“Yes! I do indeed, he had finally learned how to walk and wanted to go trick or treating with us, and we gave him the most adorable costume” Lisa said.
“What of?” Francine wanted to know.
“Yeah! I want to know!” Chloe chimed in.
“So even though he was walking and crawling he still had a bit of baby fat, and so me and Lisa here thought it would be best if we dressed him up like the Pillsbury dough boy!” Veronica squealed.
“Why~” you groan.
“He was so adorable with his little chef’s hat and ascot! The entire family couldn’t help but poke at his tummy, the giggles he made every time he did that still ring in my ears to this day” Lisa reminisced.
“Can’t you see your brother is uninterested in that story? I mean there was nothing to be proud of, no accomplishment whatsoever” your mother defended.
“Thanks…I think” you’re not sure you feel defended.
“You’re just as guilty as us mother, you’re the one who tickled his tummy the most when you thought we weren’t looking, and you insisted on holding his hand through most of his trip around the neighborhood gathering candy” Veronica revealed.
“H-he’s my son! I was simply looking out for him, a small token of my infinite generosity and kindness” Elizabeth said.
“Is that why when he tripped that one time you carried him all the way through?” Veronica asked.
“You did the same thing to me! I thought I was being humiliated on purpose!” Francine said.
“No-no, she just loves you too much, though I guess you are her first born, I can only imagine you had it much worse than I did” you say.
“It was! She made me wear all this frilly frou-frou dresses all the time, and she kept squeezing me for some reason, and she wouldn’t stop smiling at me either” Francine said.
“Speaking of which, hey Veronica you still have that pink dress you fell in the lake in that time we had a party at the summer cottage?” You ask.
“Ugh! Don’t remind me! I told them that wooden pier was too old and rickety!” Veronica blushed.
“Still have the pictures Lisa?” You asked.
“In our family photo album, I wasn’t going to let such perfectly timed pictures go to waste” Lisa said.
“I thought I told you to burn those” Veronica growled.
“I burned the copies…of course I have the original…and perhaps there is a sneaky little copy I left out here, and there” Lisa smirked.
“Mom was all over you then too, hugging you warm until we got towels” you reply.
“Mother…I must say your doting and coddling are at an all time high all of a sudden” Lisa said.
“I-in any case! Let’s discuss Anon’s new job! Isn’t that most important right now!?” Elizabeth loudly proclaimed.
“Oh yeah, the reason why I have a bunch of girls bathing in my bathroom…using up all my shampoo!” You cry out
“You’re out of shampoo!” Fubuki confirmed your suspicions.
“So how is working at the orphanage, we only captured a glimpse of your exploits through Josephine’s blog” Lisa asked.
“I swear it’s nothing like what she may have written. Really it’s just me patrolling and looking out for any children in need of assistance. I also sometimes get stuck with other specific tasks. The only real challenge is the variety I have to deal with, you can’t deal with them all the same way” you explain.
“Do they have Vampires as well?” Elizabeth asked.
“Yeah, I glanced at one a while ago, but I work the day shift, so mostly I see them all grumpy in their pajamas walking around to grab something to drink before going back to their rooms” you explained.
“That’s strange, why would there be Vampires in the orphanage?” Veronica asked.
“…Some family lineages end abruptly, over a century ago there were many Vampire clans, but the constant purges and hunts have killed off entire family lineages. These days reunions are much smaller than they use to be. I can only guess that the children are the last of a once proud family heritage” Elizabeth said.
“I see…are Dhampirs also there?” Francine asked.
“I think so actually, but it’s not really so awful. I think we only have like two or three Vampires and Dhampirs. I heard Katy told me of a rich man who adopted a Vampire and Dhampir at the same time, even gave the orphanage a nice donation” you assure them.
“Well that’s a relief, it’s good to see a positive change for once. In any case I advise you to find these girls and talk to them, see what they know. I might even know their ancestors if they really are the last in their family names” Elizabeth said.
“Sure, I’ll find out where they’re at and see what I can do” you assure her.
“Yes, excellent, that is good to hear. In the meantime I suppose I can share with you my bountiful well of wisdom I have gained raising my own children” Elizabeth offered.
“I couldn’t ask for a better teacher than you” you praise her.
That seemed to have worked, as powerful and noble as she is, she can easily turn to melted butter with enough praise and kissing up to. It also helps to be honest about it as your dad may have reason to believe your mother can read minds and considering your past with her, that might be true.
You also feel like Chloe has finally learned what it means to be a true member of the family as she took in everything you mother had explained to her to the letter.
It must have been quite a while in the couch talking when Francine suddenly jumped off your lap, her young brain pushed to it’s limits.
“Hey-hey Chloe can I see your room! I’ve never been to a ghost’s room before!” Francine asked.
“R-really!? Awesome! I never had a Dhampir visit my room so it’ll be a first for both of us! C’mon I’ll show you my Halloween Monopoly set!” Chloe squealed.
The two girls scampering up stairs passing by the staff members emerging from their bath time looking much more refreshed…perhaps due to having walked here?
“Ah~ that felt so good, and I thought I had magic fingers” Katy sighed.
“I-I-I took a bath in a-a man’s house…j-j-just like in my n-novels! C-calm down me” Mizari stammered feeling her heart beating faster.
“Easy there sugarcube, we don’t want you fainting on us again, come on now. Let’s get you something to drink” Betsy tried to calm Mizari down.
“Still didn’t see why we had to use hot water when cold water is just as good” Fubuki pouted.
“Oh hey so how was it?” You casually ask.
“Refreshing and pleasant, thanks again for letting us use the bath. So are we ready to do this?” Katy asked.
“You go ahead and do your thing, I’m gonna take a good long nap” Veronica said.
“Yes, staying up in the daytime like this is so exhausting, we should talk some more later this evening” Lisa said.
“Go ahead, I have a few spare bedrooms you can use” you offer.
“Oh, but your master bedroom must be a lot better than the spares” Lisa suggested.
“Oh I am curious as to what little secrets he has hiding in there…I wonder if boys still carry porno mags in this day, and age” Veronica hinted.
“Sorry to disappoint, but it’s just a plain, old room” you assure her.
“I know I gave you a king sized bed for a reason, if you do not mind, and I’m sure you don’t we will share your bedroom for the time being, keep making us proud Anon!” Elizabeth said.
“I’ll do my best” you assure her.
With your family upstairs you join your staff members ready to start the meeting, you took notice that they were all wearing different outfits, and even stylized their hair differently…do they always share a bath at another employee’s house?
“Anon, I must say this table is prepared rather poorly” Katy noticed.
“I~ was kind of busy” you apologize.
“Well nonetheless we should begin, Betsy do you mind setting the table with our goodies?” Katy asked.
“Of course, I shouldn’t be long” Betsy going to work right away to bring the snacks.
“Now then we have a few issues and good notes to discuss so let’s get started. First off Fubuki! The antics you commit are inspiring copycats in some of your Yukiwarashi. While I am impressed with how well mannered, and multi-talented they are, their little practical jokes are going to invoke the ire of someone with very small patience one day” Katy began.
“Yeah, yeah, I even told them not to…but you know how kids are, plus being spirits it would be a little difficult for just anyone to do anything. Not that I’ll let that happen personally, plus I am teaching them escape tactics, and we’ll be going over responsible use of their powers now that some of them are developing their abilities to the point of controlling their snow, and ice” Fubuki said.
“It’s not all bad news though Katy, some of them even help by making drinks cold, like water, and milk! I just think if they learned to clean up after themselves, and apologize more often then we can find a balance somewhere!” Betsy called out from the kitchen, over hearing the conversation.
“Did you get all that Fubuki?” Katy asked.
“Yeah-yeah I got it…” Fubuki agreed.
“I also have a report from our doctor that she is in short supply of a few necessities, mostly ingredients. As we all know she has a tendency to experiment, and she could just be using this as an excuse to further her own personal goals. I don’t mind my staff being themselves, or enjoying their hobbies but not at the cost of the orphanage’s funding unless the benefits are for the children. What are your takes on this?” Katy asked.
“Ah~ let her have her fun, who knows maybe this time her next line of potions could be something worth marketing. At the very least she’ll put some of it to cure some of the children of their raunchy illnesses” Fubuki allowed.
“Have we forgotten of her botched love potion, which just turned out to be a gas of pheromones that drove several of our children’s heat cycles earlier than usual? Werecats and Werewolves mingling with one another, and several of our Giant Ants had to take their vacation time early to be with their husbands and that lasted for several days. I will not be the only one to pick up the slack if a second incident occurs” Katy argued.
“I’m actually a little confused as to why she decided to even try!” Betsy exclaimed.
“I-I-I…u-uh…um…m-m-may have g-gave her t-the idea…” Mizari confessed.
“Oh honey…you know love potions aren’t really a thing right? Perhaps if you spent less time, and money on your…uh…how do the kids call it? Gaming Station? We can help you overcome your shyness” Katy offered.
“Nice shirt though, at the very least a nerd might find himself looking twice at you” Fubuki commented.
“Aw~ hehe! I think it’s pretty funny though! I like shirts like that” Betsy giggled from the kitchen.
“You have a whole rig? I didn’t know that about you Mizari…always thought you were more into books, or something” you ask.
*Mizari began to blush, and sputter, unsure of how to answer*
“She does read a lot…you should see her collection of visual novels…my, I can only imagine the library of dating sims she has collected over time” Fubuki teased.
“I-I-I um…p-play n-n-normal g-g-games t-too!” Mizari stammered.
“Maybe if I have some free time we can play then…at the very least we have that one thing in common if we’re both playing PC games” you suggest.
“T-t-that would be…n-n-nice!” Mizari gasped.
“Mizari how has the new girl been treating you, the Mindflayer that was rescued from a collapsing mine?” Katy asked.
Mizari tried to open her mouth but she kept constantly glancing back at you which meant all she could do was quiver and shake as she unconsciously deduced that you were judging her.
“…D-do you want me to leave the room or something?” You asked.
“No-no she can do this, just believe in yourself Mizari” Katy assured.
“Try to sound it out dear” Fubuki suggested.
“Try pretending I’m not here” you suggest.
Mizari starts performing some deep breathing exercises before eventually calming down.
“T-the Mindflayer is still m-mostly a mystery. S-she settled herself nicely in her r-room, but feeding her is c-c-complicated” Mizari squeaked out.
“Right her diet consists of human minds, this could be problematic” Katy said.
“S-she’s sentient, even gets along fine with other…c-children, but something a-always seems off. L-like she’s plotting something…s-says she feels naked without…a squid…feels lonely. She is responding well to s-spirit energy though, and the squid plush doll p-provided…is working to s-s-satisfy her a-at the moment” Mizari struggle to explain while in the presence of a boy.
“Yes! Very well done, we’ll provide her with more spirit energy though I think that it might not be enough to sate her. We’ll have to come up with a new strategy soon” Katy said.
“That was very insightful of you Mizari, I gotta say I’m impressed. I don’t think I’ll be able to figure that much out” you compliment.
Mizari smiles broadly and returns to her deep breathing exercises to calm down, once again you find her appearance off putting, but sweet nonetheless. In that moment Betsy returns carrying a large tray of goodies on one hand, including some baked goods that looked fresh out of the oven and two large pitchers in her other hand.
That sweet smile is hiding an impressive amount of strength.
“Sorry about that, but I hope ya’ll like it, it’s my grandma’s recipe” Betsy said, her home baked sweet bread stealing the spotlight.
“Betsy, you’re just in time we’ve wanted your take on our food supply” Katy asked.
“Of course!” Betsy agreed taking her seat next to you.
Feeling curious and hungry your grab one Betsy’s baked sweet bread. The bread was soft and warm to the touch and felt plump and full of content.
Fubuki stares at you with a mischievous grin, playing with her food by grabbing the same bread as you, and squishing it close to her bosom.
Betsy starts looking at you rather nervously as you take your first bite. You find the outside crust taste very sweet but the real treat comes from the white glaze inside the bread, filling your taste buds with pure delicious joy.
“This bread is amazing Betsy, and you made it so quickly too” you praise her.
“Aw~ shucks Anon, it was nothing. I’ve been making this bread since I was a little girl so it’s my specialty” Betsy explained.
“Don’t you think she makes a perfect wife Anon?” Katy asked.
“I think she’ll be perfect at anything she sets her mind too” you add.
“No really! I’m not all that special” Betsy blushed.
“T-take notes, m-must take n-notes” Mizari mumbled to herself.
“Ah~ mon ami your sweet bread is so magnifique! Zey remind me of home” Josephine swooned.
“So as we were discussing, I hope we aren’t short of any specific type of food” Katy urged the conversation back to the topic at hand.
“I’ve compiled a list and sent it to your office this morning, but so far no food shortages at the moment, we’ve even had help from local farmers who have offered to sell us their produce at discount prices” Betsy explained.
“Well that’s certainly nice of them, of course I recall a few times in the past where they came to adopt some of our Were-sheep and Holstaurs, so that could be a factor” Katy said.
“I’ve had a lovely chat with one of the farmers who is raising his new daughter with great care and she’s been a big help on the farm, the two couldn’t be happier” Betsy explained.
“That’s great to hear” Katy sounded delighted.
“Oui, but ze children on my end are having some how you say~ difficulties” Josephine stated.
“I think I have an inkling of what you’re going to say, but go right ahead” Katy said.
“We have many suitors-I mean parents who wish to adopt my lovely Mermaids, Sea Slimes, Scylla, and even a family wishing to raise our Kraken, but ze problem persists. Zey do not have the water needed for my enfants to live comfortably” Josephine said.
“Yes that is a big issue, not everyone has a pool and the closest beach is more than an hour away from here” Katy realized.
“And offering them to build a pool with our children is nowhere near our budget” Fubuki said.
“My poor little ones, the best we can do at the moment is raise awareness of this issue and hope people from the coast will be more incline to adopt…and get people to buy more pools” Katy figured.
“Oui! I been having ze idea…our Giant Ants voisines are getting restless…like moi when mon toys are out of ze batteries…if zey are in contract with us…we can offer construction of pools…many of ze people have backyards no?” Josephine suggested.
“That’s…not a bad idea…get a cute daughter, maybe hook up with the Giant ant building you a pool in your backyard for a fraction of the cost…win-win-win” Fubuki said.
“I like it too…we’ll discuss this with the queen, and see if we can find an appropriate budget and cost” Katy was interested as well.
“Also! I would like to say that I love ze calender we have. I hope we do this again next year, your May photo is tre bien!” Josephine complimented.
“Of course we’ll be doing it again next year, after all the money it’s making us, and thank you for that Josephine. I must be honest I still feel a little camera shy” Katy thanked.
You remember that month, May was Katy’s turn to shine. She was pictured wearing only a garment of tiny gold chains with beads and gems of different colors barely covering her nipples and crotch. But as erotic as the ensemble was, her posture was rather stiff as she was standing upright with a shy bashful smile, and her arms pressing her breasts together as if she was posing for a school photo rather than a lewd calendar.
Thinking about that, and looking back at Josephine has you thinking of her cover for June, that of her topless laying on her back on a beach setting laying on a pink towel. Her upper body lifted slightly while her arms covered her nipples while she gave the camera a naughty smile and wink. But what made the photo even sexier than it already was, was how her entire body was coated with sun tan lotion causing her skin to glisten under the sun
“Katy I would like to bring up an issue that needs to be addressed” Fubuki suddenly spoke out.
“What’s the matter Fubuki?” Katy asked.
“We need a more up to date and stronger air conditioning system installed in the facility. While our current one is working just fine, I think we can do better and we should do it soon as Summer is approaching fast” Fubuki said.
“Oh dear you worry too much, I’ve talked to the children myself and they seem rather content in their little snow rooms. Even the Selkie are enjoying their slushy water” Katy said.
“That may be, but a new system could prevent an accident or sudden malfunction. I don’t mind taking the heat, but not all our residents are so resilient” Fubuki said.
“Our cooling system is very costly as it is you know. Replacing or updating the whole thing will set us back a pretty penny” Katy explained.
“Oh? And that fountain you installed in your hibernating room wasn’t expensive enough as it is?” Fubuki accused.
“T-that’s different! It’s very soothing, a-and a nice distraction when all we can do is wait out the Winter…it also provides water to bathe in when the rest of the building is below adequate temperatures for my little ones. They can get sick very quickly under so much cold.” Katy explained.
“I’m certain you can distract yourselves just fine with other less expensive things, and a new cooling system doesn’t have to be expensive. We can simply sell the fountain you have and use that money to help pay for our new air conditioner. We can probably buy it back before the next Winter cycle.” Fubuki argued.
“No! Never! I liked that fountain, I think I worked hard enough to deserve a little bit of fountain fun, it’s a lot more personal than you think” Katy was quick to defend her fountain.
“It’s really not all that fun, and I did say we were gonna get you another one later.” Fubuki said.
“Do you know how long that’s gonna take? We could be fountain-less for about two hibernating seasons” Katy said.
“Well let’s get a third party to help us decide what to do. Anon, where do you stand on this?” Fubuki made it your problem.
“Wait you’re asking me!?” You exclaim.
“Yes, as an employee here this also effects you, and helping us decide what we should do is also part of your job. It’s not a hard choice really, just support my cause and we can drop this whole crazy idea” Katy said.
“Anon, do the right thing, and give me a stronger air conditioner. You don’t want to be around me when I’m hot and bothered” Fubuki warned.
“That’s cheating! No threatening the employees…however; you also don’t want to be around me when I got nothing to do during hibernation” Katy stated.
“Anon~ I’d be very grateful to you if you joined my side” Fubuki purred as she casually slipped her yukata off one of her shoulders exposing a good portion of her breasts which you can now see are bigger than their originally appeared.
“No seducing either! But anon~ I’d be so thankful to your contribution if you do this for me-whoops! This silly cloth is always slipping off” Katy started doing the same thing as her cloth piece covering her breasts became undone and the only her hands keeping her bosom from becoming exposed.
“Hmhmhm~ touche Katy, but being the representative of the kids who need a cool Summer, there’s no way I won’t lose” Fubuki said.
“Well being a representative of the little ones who need a warm Winter I refuse to back down, you and I have both gone through enough escapades to know what I’m willing to sacrifice!” Katy declared.
“Anon~” Fubuki purred.
“Anon~” Katy moaned.
“O-oh goodness gracious ya’ll…” Betsy blushed.
Mizari was a sputtering mess clinging to her nose as her face turned beet red.
Great, looks like you’re in another pickle. Do you kiss up to the boss and let her keep her fountain she loves so much, or do you side with Fubuki and give her a helping hand by giving her a better air conditioner?

I did notice one error: ‘they’ instead of the word that would make sense to me: ‘their’… “they antics” just doesn’t make sense to me, “their antics” does…
Please write more, as, these stories are really enjoyable to me!
Thanks!
Thanks for the find, took care of it right away, and I appreciate the support! Gonna try to keep the pace going, posting every Sunday at the longest.
This comment is thousands of years too late, but running a few fundraisers would work and she wouldn’t have to sell the fountain. The calendar alone would sell out instantly and raise interest in the orphanage at the same time. A bake sale with bovine species milk in the cookies, cakes, pies and whatnot would also be a big hit.
