[ SSarah-san! WhWhat should we do with this money!? ][ Wait, Lumi! Calm down! ]
In their shared room, Sarah, Lumi, and Nina had another meeting - on how they should spend the coins their master had rewarded and given them. But as one would expect, they can"t seem to be able to have a proper one.
[ I"ve been taken by my emotions then, but... this amount... we really just can"t accept this...! ]
[ Are you saying that we should give it back to master? To Vlad-sama!? ]
[ But Sarah-nee, Lumi-nee, master said that this is already ours... Isn"t this a sign of courtship from Vlad-sama...? ] the quiet Nina voiced her own opinion and it shocked the two of them.
[ Yo-You"re right, Nina! ]
[ Ninchan... I didn"t know you"ve had it in you... ]
The two of them had been looking for reasons to accept that amount of money since earlier, but they were not able to find a proper one that they could agree on. But then there comes Nina, who was able to convince the two of them with her own unexpected opinion.
[ In Nina"s tribe, males will have to give females treasures to have them as their bride... I"m sure Vlad-sama is... ]
Of course, as they all reached their own conclusion, their minds started to wander off.
Sarah - as a n.o.ble, her master giving her off his riches to her as an act of buying her hand for marriage.
Lumi - her master offering her father chief all his foreign treasures to him to exchange her heart with.
Nina - imagining her master defeating his father in a glorious fight and winning, then having him offer him his treasures and hunts to have his way with her body.
And all of those fantasies ending with them bedding with him.
Even though none of them sounds like a normal romance, those fantasies were definitely what they are dreaming of to happen.
[ [ Huu... ] ] their faces turn red and smoke seems to have appeared on top of their heads.
[ Alright... We will not back out now... Master had already given this to us... It will be an insult if we give it back... ]
[ [ Un... ] ] they all nodded.
[ But since this amount is really too much for us... ]
[ Yea... Let"s follow Vlad-sama"s advice and share it with the others... ]
[ Of course... ]
***
[ [ Vlad-sama gave you what!? ] ]
It was already midnight and none of the slaves were doing their tasks. They have all now removed their uniforms and now in their nightgowns; it was this time that they rest, but that was not the case this time...
Hearing Sarah"s words, they all exclaimed in surprise. Every single one of them has a shocked expression on their faces and there are even some who have grim ones.
[ Shh-shh! The walls might be thick but when you all... at the same time...! Vlad-sama and the others are already asleep, we won"t risk waking them up. ]
[ [ Un... ] ] they all nodded, then, they all look at each other in the eyes, deciding who should talk first.
Soon, a representative was chosen and asks with a worried face:
[ Sarah-san... What does this mean...? Is Vlad-sama finally asking us to leave this mansion? I mean... We haven"t done anything to offend him yet, right...? But... considering Vlad-sama"s kindness... he would definitely bring us back our freedom and get rid of our collars... ]
[ No, that"s not at it at all. Remember when Vlad-sama took us with him as adventurers? The money came from that. He said that it should be our reward for working hard. ]
[ Did Vlad-sama really? ] again, they gasped in disbelief.
It was true that Vlad had never actually given them any kind of money of their own, but as slaves, it was only natural. Being paid with the comfortable shelter that is his mansion and getting to eat not just decent food, but delicious ones are already enough for them to not care about getting money off their own.
[ Bu-But why would he do that...? ]
[ We don"t know ourselves... He just said that he wants to give it to us as a reward for our work... He also said that we should split it and share it with you guys. ]
[ Did you try to give it back to him? ] again, another worried voice came asking out.
[ O-Of course we did! But master insisted on it so much that we were not able to convince him! You know how hard it is to resist masters kind face! You know how irresistible that face is! We"re not able to do anything when he gave us that look...! ]
[ Uuhh... ]
[ Anyway... We"ve already worked here for almost a month and we definitely now know our master"s personality... His kindness and logic is out of this world... That"s why if he insist on it, we will obey, isn"t that what we all agreed on? ]
[ [ ... ] ] they all went silent.
[ As Vlad-sama had said... We will split all of these coins for ourselves... But of course, we will save and keep some just in case. Does anyone agree? ] Sarah made sure her voice was clear as she searches and turns her eyes on all of them one by one.
[ Well... Master had said so... ]
[ Un... ]
[ For us slaves to receive such amount of money is ridiculous... But if master really insisted... ]
There was no negative reply from anyone.
Seeing this, Sarah nodded in satisfaction, but before she could start talking again, someone voiced:
[ But, Sarah-san... Isn"t that a bit unfair to the three of you...? I mean... You"re the ones who had earned that money... is it really okay to share it with us? ]
[ Of course. ] there was no pause in her reply.
[ As Vlad had said when we first met him, we"re all equal in his mansion... Also, we three are pretty much a burden in this mansion, unlike you guys... I mean, you guys all have proper jobs while we three only laze around and train... You"re all as important to Vlad-sama as we are. ]
[ Sarah-san... ]
[ Also, we"re all comrades aiming for Vlad-sama"s heart! Isn"t it natural for us to share? ] she gave a big smile as she said those words.
[ [ SSarah-san! ] ] as she gave her short speech, the other girls started to tear up and cheered her.
[ I really can"t believe you were a n.o.ble, Sarah-san! You"re nothing like any other! ]
[ That"s right, Sarah-san, you"re like our eldest sister! ]
***
[ Now... As the smartest person in this room, Lisa will divide and give us our first share. ] Sarah in the middle of a now circular crowd, introduces to everyone Lisa - a meek-looking girl wearing gla.s.ses.
[ Ple-Please, don"t introduce me like that, Sarah-san... ]
Lisa, like Sarah, was a former n.o.ble. She was educated well in almost every subject there is, except combat. She is like the complete opposite of the confident Sarah.
Her hair is ponytailed and she has a few freckles on her face. Her hair is rather unique, as she was the only one who has purple hair in the group.
She was also one of the most expensive slave Vlad had bought. She was smart and a former n.o.ble. She is also, like the other slaves, is pretty and a virgin - Hence, she had fetched a high price.
[ Anyway... I"ve already calculated everything... Since we"re keeping some for emergency and for other times, we will only give each 30 gold coins for now... As Sarah-san had said earlier, you can use it any way you want. ]
[ Oh! Oh! ] suddenly, in the middle of her explanation, Lumi, sitting on the crowd, interrupted and raises her hand.
[ Umm... Yes, Lumi-san... ]
[ Since we"re all girls and comrades here, how about we give suggestions on how we will spend the coins!? ] she excitingly said.
[ That"s a good idea, Lumi! ] someone from the opposite side of the crowd complimented. And again, they all started to make noises of their own.
[ Is that so? Then, I will suggest one! How about we use it to eat food in the city? ]
[ No! We should spend it on gifts! We should give Vlad-sama a gift! ]
[ Ohhh~!!! That"s a nice idea! ]
[ Lisa! Note that one! ]
[ U-Un! ] Lisa nodded in pressure.
[ Dresses! ]
[ Foods! ]
[ Gifts! ]
*words and noises...
All kinds of suggestions came running to Lisa like a storm that she could only barely scribble anything.
[ Whooh! Now, let"s wrap this out. ]
As the noises finally calm down, Sarah urges Lisa to start again, nodding in her direction.
[ U-un... then, we will start again... first, and the most important on our list would be: we will all give Vlad-sama each of our own gifts. "This would be our chance to pay Vlad-sama"s kindness." Everyone agrees that that"s our main priority. ] she reads the paper she written her notes on.
[ [ Un. ] ]
[ Then, we will buy clothes, perfumes, and other stuff that might get Vlad-sama interested in us... ] she reads those words in a very slow manner as she started to get red.
[ "These things are necessary to seduce Vlad-sama..." ]
[ [ Un. ] ] they all nodded in sync again.
[ And finally... The leftover coins will be spent on food and personal things... Are there any questions...? ]
***
[ These girls... ]
The moon is already high in the sky, and the manor of Vlad Alucard bathe on its dim light.

[ I really can"t get enough of everyone in this place... ]
Shin, the previous dungeon master peeks on one of the windows of the manor, looking at the beautiful ladies gathering in one particular room of the mansion. He had transformed himself as a small lizard to avoid their attention.
One would think that this act is out of his l.u.s.t for girls, but that is not the case at all.
This is another job given to him by Vlad, his boss.
His body doesn"t require rest and hence he was given this task - to guard the manor in the night.
There are other summonses spread throughout everywhere in the perimeter of the mansion, but it was much safer to have him guard the mansion by himself.
It was an odd work, but he doesn"t mind at all. The view of the moon in the night was a sight Shin never gets tired of.
it was beautiful, he thinks.
He was finally outside of the dungeon underneath the ground. The thought of going outside of his dungeon didn"t even cross his mind back then, but now, he was more than glad he was able to. He felt he was free.
He works as Vlad"s servant now, some even say that he"s his slave, but he doesn"t mind that at all. For him, Vlad was the one who gave him freedom; he was the one who freed him of his boredom.
He was his boss. And everyone underneath him is his co-workers, they"re his equals. He won"t mind a job that protects them.
[ Haah... Apparently, it seems I want to give Vlad something like a gift too... ] he whispers to the quiet night as he continues to observe the girls that were having fun inside the room.
