I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 79 - Introductions and Reunion

We arrive in front of the door to my chamber and I lead Shino inside, who is nervously fixing her clothes and hair all the time. That's kind of adorable of her to worry about first impressions in such a situation. I've thought she would be much more awkward while I introduce her to other women I hold dear.

Everyone is there as we enter. Cornelia sits on the chair by my desk as usual, with Sirgia on her lap. Elea and Neira sit side by side on the edge of my bed while Astrea was most likely lying down on it as we see her rising up from behind them as we walk inside.

Shino glances around and stops at the duo on the chair.

"Cornelia-san? Why are you here?"

My charming magician chuckles softly. "Isn't that obvious? I thought Al told you that he is going to introduce us to you."

"Does this mean that you... are also..."

"Yes, I'm lucky enough to call myself one of Al's lovers. Or rather, one of his future wives."

"Wives..." Shino blushes seeing her playful smile and starts twirling her fingers.

"Alright. Don't tease her too much right from the bat," I say to Cornelia while brushing through Shino's hair. "Come on. Let's get to know each other first."

Shino nods and Sirgia jumps off Cornelia's lap, cutely walking up to the two of us. She stops in front of the samurai girl and glances up, meeting her gaze.

"I'm Sirgia. A Dwarf. I've heard about you. You might have known Master for much longer, but I love him a lot too. I would do everything for him. I hope we can get along and make him happy together."

She then extends her petite hand and waits for a handshake. Shino gets a little flustered from this sudden statement, but she grabs Sirgia's hand after nodding.

"Hello. I'm Shino. I'll do my best for Sensei, you can be sure of that. Ummm... How did the two of you... meet?"

"I was accused of assassination and locked up as a criminal slave. Master bought me and saved my life. I was really happy after learning how much he cares for others and for me too. I decided to be of use to him with my cooking and smithing skills as much as I can. He even built me an amazing workshop. And even though I was a demi-human slave, he accepted me as his first woman."

"I'm so sorry for you..." Shino assumes a sad expression. "But, I'm glad that Sensei found you. I'm sure you couldn't have ended up in better hands."

"Un."

The two of them stare at each other for a while longer and Sirgia then glances up at me. I lower myself down and she leaves a peck on my cheek while I pat her head before she steps aside. Cornelia walks towards us next.

"I don't think we need any introductions, right, Shino? If you don't mind me calling you that."

"Of course not, Cornelia-san. I wouldn't mind it even before we became... ummmm... sister-wives?"

Cornelia chuckles again. "Good that you have finally made up your mind. I know how hard it can be, trust me. But, don't worry too much about this. Just be yourself and everything will be fine. The worst thing you can do is try to forcefully fit in. We are all different, but there's one thing that connects all of us, and it's our feelings for that devilishly handsome guy by your side. If you are ever in doubt of anything, just go to him and he'll make sure you get rid of those pointless thoughts. I'll always be here to talk to too."

Shino bows to her. "Thank you. I'll be sure to remember that. And I'll be in your care then."

Cornelia smiles at her and then also pecks my cheek before returning to her previous spot. Elea and Neira approach us together with soft smiles. Shino has to look up at the tall women.
