After the delicious breakfast feast, we proceeded to take a family bath were I personally washed my children backs, just like in the Anime I used to watch, this was a very interesting experience, I could feel my bond with my children increasing by the second.

Although due to my evolution, my breast was now massive, and it was hard to wash someone's back, I would most of the time end rubbing my pair of melons through their backs. My daughters didn't seem to care as they enjoyed my massages through their shoulders, I used a mix of my Slime, which was able to relax the tension on muscles and even reinforce them.

"Aah~ Mommy does the best massages, my muscles were feeling quite tense recently, this is really a relief~ Bwaahh…"

Amiphossia's body was quite thin, but still held some natural muscles inherited from her species, her skin was fair and pale white, and it was very tender to the touch. I especially gave her a massage in her shoulders, who held some tension, probably because she overworks in the Nursing Team.

"Ami, you shouldn't overexert yourself, look how tense are your shoulders… Squish, squish"

As I massaged her shoulders, her muscles suddenly loosened and relaxed, which made Amiphossia give a small jump.

"Oh! Fweeh… That felt very good, thanks, mommy…"

"Ami, did you listen to me?"

"Ah…! Well, I like to work there, I feel like I was born to heal others! I cannot just let all our friends and companions slowly recuperating there! I always feel the necessity to use the powers I was granted when I was born"

After hearing her explanation, I could sense that Ami's personality was developing to be a little bit compassionate, just like her Title "The White Compassion". However, she only feels compassion for monsters and demi-humans of our Kingdom, but perhaps this compassion will slowly move to humans too.

"Alright, but don't push yourself too hard, I also want to train you myself from time to time, Ami"

"Hm! Sure! I know that mommy wants the best for me… Aside from healing others, I also want to become stronger, and protect what's dear to me"

After hearing such words coming from Amiphossia, I could feel a little bit of grievance on how quickly she has matured, but at the same time, it gives me a lot of pride in having such an intelligent and incredible daughter like her.

"Amiphossia, I am very lucky to have such an amazing daughter"

"Fweeh?! M-Mom… T-Thanks, you are also amazing!"

Although Amiphossia's conversations were very charming and adorable, Valentia was the complete opposite, she was being very expressive but didn't know how to formulate very intricate conversations. Although she can have complex emotions, Valentia is kind of a muscle head.

Although her skin was pale white as well, she was filled with small scars and had incredibly sturdy muscles, that seemed to be made of pure iron as I touched them, Brontes barely surpassed them. Her back was one of her areas that was mostly filled with muscles and to be honest, they were very beautiful.

"There, there! Ah~ Thanks mommy, your massages are very nice, my body is always aching…"

"Perhaps it wouldn't ache so much if you didn't train so hard every day, it's fine to grind levels but you usually go overboard, destroying giant boulders with your bare hands, or lifting twenty giant boulders with the weight of one ton each…"

"Eeeh? But mother, it's pretty fun! I also can feel my muscles burning and getting tougher and tougher! Ahaha! It's a very nice sensation! I really want to train right now!"

"Sigh… I suppose it's impossible to reason with you, my daughter"

"Mom… I-I know that I am kind of dumb… But I like to do what I do… I just feel that impulse very deep inside of my chest, to train and break my limits constantly! And I… I just want to be as strong as you, so I can be reliable and protect you all, that's all…"

It seems that my words somehow made Valentia use her brain, which made her muster these incredibly deep words from her mouth, I was quite shocked.

"Valentia… I never knew that you were capable of thinking like that, I suppose I have misjudged you a bit. After all, you are my precious daughter"

Over my words, Valentia once again broke her usual character as she blushed while giving me an adorable smile.

"Hehe… T-Thanks mommy… I love you"

"Aaah~! Valentia, you are so cute, hug mommy!"

"M-Mommy…!"

As Valentia suddenly hugged me, I could feel her herculean strength constantly crushing my bones as they recovered back to normal over and over again with my skills. It was a painful but very heartwarming moment, Valentia was being surprisingly open with me, and it made me feel like there was still hope on making her more expressive with her emotions.

Moving on with my boys, Ryo seems to be a very healthy child; he doesn't have problems opening with his emotions like Aarae and has also found ways to pass time other than to constantly train. However, he's still very embarrassed with women other than his sisters and Zehe, even with me he's still very embarrassed…

"Gggaah! Mother, can you stop rubbing your breast against my back?! It's weird! A-And gross!"

Ryo suddenly calling me gross really hit me hard, I never expected him to got that far because of his embarrassments… It genuinely made me a little bit sad.

"G-Gross?! Are you calling your mother, gross?! Ooh… When did I raise such a disrespectful child… Snif, snif… (pretending to cry)"

"Gah! Stop pretending to cry… M-Mom… Sigh, I'm sorry, okay? It's just that it feels… weird… It feels weird when I am with w-women…"

"Hm?! If that's the problem, I can easily cure that phobia! You see, there are a lot of special places in our Kingdom, do you know about the brothels?"

"E-Eh?! I know you were just pretending! I shouldn't even have to apologize! A-And I know what are brothels! I-I don't want to go there!"

"Why not?! They will treat you very well! Fufufu…"

At my words, Ryo couldn't help but have his entire face completely blushed, looking like a red tomato.

"M-Mom! Stop already…! Sigh… Just wash my back and get over with it"

"Hmph! One day I will convince you, my son! There are hundreds of girls there that would be happy to pass a night with the Prince of the Kingdom, they should feel honored!"

"S-Stop already!"

Zehe who was at our side couldn't feel but laugh at our silly interactions.

"Hehehe… Ryo is embarrassed with girls… Do you know? Kireina used to be embarrassed around me in the past, but she tried to play it cool… Fufufu, oh, she used to be a butterfly, you knew?"

"W-Wait Zehe, don't tell him my bug past!"

"W-What?! Mother was a bug before?!"

"N-No!"

In the end, Zehe ended up telling all my children my past as a butterfly and even as a caterpillar, those secrets that I only told my closest servants and wives! My children began to see me with new eyes as they discovered that I was once a very pitiful caterpillar that somehow raised to the point I am.

"So, I am the son of a caterpillar? Damn" (Ryo)

"Sigh… It's true, I used to be a caterpillar… Geeh…"

"Oooh! That's actually quite interesting! I never knew that mother had such a unique past! It is very admirable that even when you were just a bug, you always tried to be strong and strong, mother!" (Valentia)

"Indeed! I can already imagine mother as a very cute and chunky caterpillar! Aah, so cute!" (Amiphossia)

"Hmm… Mommy is very strong for having raised from a bug to where she is if she didn't have done that, we probably wouldn't exist now…" (Aarae)

"I suppose it's true, knowing your past as a bug, only made us admire you more, mother" (Ryo)

Hearing all my four children admiring me for my older and painful days only made me feel even happier about taking the decisions I did; I am truly blessed to have such wonderful children.

"Gueeh! All of you are such wonderful girls and boys, come here!"

I partiall shifted my body like a slime, as I hugged all my four children in a warm hug.

"M-Mom! You are all naked, s-stop!" (Ryo)

"Guehehe! You said all those cute things to your mother, now you must succumb to her love!"

"Gyaaahh!!"

When the heartwarming moment finished, I continued to wash Aarae as I peacefully massaged his tiny body. He has a very delicate build as he is a pure mage in nature, and barely has muscles developed. His body was very tender and squishy, it seems that unlike Ryo, whenever I accidentally rubbed my breast against his back, he would only stay quiet while blushing intensively, it was a very cute reaction so I repeated this to tease him a tad bit.

"My little Aarae, there is nothing to be worried about, it's just mother's body"

"B-B-B-But! Fweeehh…"

I hugged Aarae while kissing him in his cheek.

"Don't worry, there is no need to be so shy, here, now you wash mommy's back"

"A-Alright…!"

When Aarae finished washing my back, Gaby came to play around with him, so I was able to shift my attention to Brontes and Rimuru. Both of them were with the rest of my wives and were currently relaxing in the warm pool. I joined them as I hugged them and talked about food and crafting, it seems that the children inside of their bellies enjoyed the warm and steamy baths, and were as relaxed as them.

However, it seems that Brontes was quite thirsty, as she suddenly began to touch my thighs with her hands beneath the pool, her grasp was as firm as ever, and when I glanced at her, she was looking at the pool with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh?"

Brontes slowly moved her hands as she started to grasp my thighs intensively as if she desired them with all her intent, she then, carried her fingers beneath my legs, slowly stimulating my lower lips.

"Ooh… N-Not here, Brontes… My children are here…"

"B-But… I want to touch…"

"B-Brontes… Ah~"

"Big sister… Keep it low…"

"A-Alright then, but be quick…"

Wanting to reciprocate, I also played around with her lower lips and thighs, as I slowly entered my fingers inside of her, which made Brontes release a sudden moan, that was thankfully not heard by my wives due to their loud conversations.

"Hm~ Ahh… Big sister, you are so lewd too"

"Fufufu… Keep it low…"

We played with each other for a while until we finally came almost at the same time, at this, our bodies released even more tension as we relaxed in the warm pool.

"T-Thanks, big sister… I've been holding back recently… It is hard…"

I hugged Brontes as I gave her a small but passionate kiss.

"It is fine, I'm glad that you are becoming more honest"

And then, I suddenly realized that Rimuru was watching this whole scene with an envious face.

"Eeeeh? I want to play too!"

"G-Gah! K-Keep it low, Rimuru!"

"B-But! Guuu!!!"

After the refreshing bath, I used the rest of the day to explore Athetosea with my family, alongside Ismenia and Acelina who worked as touristic guides for my family. Because I brainwashed them to make them love me, they have been holding their urges to talk with me for a while, I should play with them whenever I found some time, now that there is some time to relax, I might as well use it like this.

When the tour through the Kingdom finished, we slowly walked back towards the castle where I found the Rin Sisters who had recently arrived, I introduced them to the King and the Nobles as they quickly began negotiations without much time to waste, they are quite admirable.

Hmph, today there were a lot of different countries spies dangling around, however, with my network of Dhampirs, only some hours were needed for all of them to be annihilated without many problems, I ordered them to eat the spies to grow stronger.

The spies that came today were mostly from two Kingdoms, Thanatos and Azuma Empire. Its already too soon to capture another Kingdom, so I will ignore their provocations for now. Because they are too far from us, it would be detrimental for them to suddenly invade us. Although it is not impossible in the spectrum of possibilities. Taking advantage of a Kingdom that lost more than 90% of their military power would be very easy, well, too bad that I am here. Unless they sent multiple Heroes and Champions, I am positive that I and my family can wipe out an army easily.

After today's dinner, I finally decided to let go of Nanako, who was still sleeping in an almost coma state inside of my Item Box. I gently woke her up as she slowly started to glance at me with her scarlet eyes in a sleepy state.

"Hm? Ah… W-Who…? Ah! You!!!"

"Aaah… It is finally time, Nanako… Let the fun begin…"

"G-Get away!"
