Chapter 491 Jealousy
"Is this the romantic portion of our date?" Jasmine spoke up while cutting her steak up with some exaggerated motions, and I couldn't help but sense a bit of a disappointment in her tone.
The elf who was sitting merrily in my lap spoke instead of me, "Oh, am I in the way? Please don't mind me. Master, say aaa…" Seraphiel decreed before putting a cut of meat into my mouth. Since she was using her hand to do so, I made sure to lick her fingers as well, eliciting a shocked yelp from the girl who did her best to pull her hand out before the shark took more of it than was welcome to.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
We'd already concluded two of my four goals, namely Kaelira's business and Luke's gear. The only two that remained were the auction and the romantic date I promised.
Now that we were no longer in public but in a private restaurant room, my elves could do whatever they wanted, which in Kaelira's case was sitting down at our table and having a meal just like Jasmine, but Sera elected to use me as a seat and instead of eating her meal, she was busy feeding me mine.
"My goal was to have a date with all of you, but maybe it just isn't working." I sighed dejectedly upon seeing her displeasure.
"Wait, with me too?!" Kaelira cried with shock.
I looked at her with surprise. She didn't notice that I fancied her? Maybe she was a bit more dense than I gave her credit for, at least when it came to this topic.
"Of course, Kaelira. You're one of the hottest existences I'd ever seen and not only are you incredibly strong and talented, both on and off the field of battle, but you also have a lovely personality. You're everything I look for in a partner."
My declaration earned a frightened yelp from the sexy elf with six packs, just as her cheeks turned a deep rosy red. I had to chuckle when I saw that even her ears turned into a shade of bright crimson. I'd never seen my Sera do this, she had a very thick skin when it came to flirting, despite her being barely an adult in elf years while Kaelira had a few decades on her.

Kaelira then began mumbling some nonsense while fiddling around with her food. Her brain was so fried that I could almost see smoke coming from her ears.
"Hmph, I see how it is. I guess I must not be everything you look for in a woman, after all, I'm weak and my talents aren't anything compared to the winner of the Phenom Trials." Jasmine scoffed with a strong pout. She refused to meet my gaze and even crossed her arms in front of her tantalizing chest.
I had to snicker inwardly. Women…
However, I knew I had to speak up. She didn't deserve the treatment I gave her by flirting with two of my elves on the date I invited her out for, especially not after she helped me secure so much money.
"Jasmine, it's true that I find strong women hot, but I also appreciate women who do the most with what they were given. The berserker and buffer of my team were civilians before they met me, and I still fell for them with all my heart.
You shouldn't feel inadequate compared to the other girls in my harem, because we all have our ups and downs. Ayame, who you know as Blade, is my strongest woman, but if I asked her to sell the sword and armor instead of you, chances are that she would've gotten herself arrested and the goodies confiscated."
"Hmm…" She mused while opening one of her eyes to observe my sincerity for a mere moment before cutely closing them shut again.
I got the message. She needed more verbal pampering. I obliged.
"Maybe you can't shine brilliantly on the battlefield while being drenched in the blood of your enemies, but you did shine brilliantly in my eyes when you cleanly conducted such a paramount deal with so much being at stake. You are amazing at your craft, furthermore, you're a gorgeous woman, and from our multiple talks, I also know that your personality is excellent. You're a fun girl to have around in times of peace and an amazing ally to call upon when I need a deal secured."
<You're on a roll, master. It's a double kill, you got Kaelira beforehand.> Sera giggled into my mind.
And indeed, my words had their desired effect. I saw Jasmine do her utmost to fight back against her body's urges, but she lost miserably when her displeased scowl turned into a bright smile despite her best efforts.
She sighed before speaking up, "You're right… You'd already warned me that you had a harem, and I accepted that. I can't have a jealous streak hit me each time I see you flirt with another woman… It's a bit hard, but I'll do my best."
I nodded jovially upon hearing her words. "That's all I ask for. Some women deal easier with jealousy than others, there's no shame in needing some time to adjust."
"Thank you." She smiled amicably, letting me know that things were good once again.
You might be wondering why I was telling Jasmine so many of my secrets. Think of it as a test.
Blossom had passed her second rank up mission, letting her enter the level 20s, she could easily stalk a civilian without getting noticed even by the guards Aurelion stationed in their home.
My plan was to send her with Jasmine and observe her for a bit. I was 99% sure that she would not betray me, but I needed to know for sure for me to be able to relax in her presence comfortably.
"Please, stop! Young ladies, that room is taken!"
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard shouts erupting from outside our private room's door.
"I don't care, this private room had been reserved solely for my and my sister's exclusive use!" A feminine voice decreed in an authoritative tone, though I couldn't help but sense a bratty edge to it.
