Chapter 15: Managing the family
I do not own Harry potter or monster musume
XChapter StartX
"mnnnn" Harry moaned early in the morning the day after dealing with Lala and her apparent ties to the dullahan village and their elder who wanted to meet with him.
However Harry was somewhat un-comfy in bed as he felt a weight on his chest that was cold but was neither scaley or slimy so that rules out Suu and Miia. Opening his eyes he managed to see a shade of blue, attempting to reach out all he found was squishy wet hole that quivered to the touch. Whoever was in bed with him shuddered as his curious digit rubbed the hole.
'Wait...this isn't right...' getting his glasses Harry took a proper look and found that it was lala's body snuggling up to him, dressed in lavender coloured lingerie highlighting her curves. Her bosom were pressed against his arm, slowly rubbing up and down, still squirming from the sensations Harry had provided from rubbing her open neck. "Lala...what are you doing here without your head?" Harry idly shaked the hand that had been touching her open neck.
(u-u)
The body still seemed a little sleepy as Harry tried to slowly pull her off his arms without touching her inappropriately. Managing to pull his arm away Harry left to get a shower but did put the blanket back over Lala's body before leaving.
"Good morning my lord."
Harry jumped as he left the room and found Lala's head there, being held by Zombina.
"Hey look what I found rolling about, but couldn't find the body. Think we need Polt to sniff it out?" Zombina asked silently wondering what breakfast was going to be.
"No need, woke up with it snuggling up to me." Harry saw the smirk on Zombina's face as well as the slight colour added to Lala's cheeks despite her attempted to look serious. "She still asleep and if you keep quiet ill make you extra bacon."
"Deal." Zombina was never going to turn down bacon as she let Harry go to the bathroom to freshen up and headed down stairs. "So you wanna sneak past the line and get a-head of the pack." Zombina actually felt proud of her pun.
"I merely wish to get to know my lord better if I am better to serve him from this day forward that is all." Lala said as she was placed onto the kitchen counter and she tried to 'will' her body to join her but it was too comfy where it was.
"So you wanted to feel the good since you've been stalking him the better part of a few weeks." A groggy voice said with just enough snark to make Lala try to glare.
Sumisu revelled in the attempt, it gave her just enough strength to crash into her chair and recline at least until the host of the home gave her what she needed.
"Ah how you doing Sumisu, you look a little rough?" Sumisu wearing nothing but a white top and panties, gave her co-worker the finger given how she'd been up late sorting Lala's file and arranging for her items to be delivered while also writing a report on the incident Doppel had caused without naming and shaming the doppelganger.
"Can't talk need coffee, where's our house husband?" Sumisu asked just as the man in question came down the stairs, now with Suu on top of Lala's body making it look like shed taken the vacant space available.
"I'm here, now Suu get off of there, I'm not sure how Lala's body likes you up there." Harry said as he pulled the little slime of to join the head already there.
(ﾉ≧ڡ≦)
Lala's body reclaimed her head and put it back on, making sure her scarf covered the line where the two connected. Her body then gave Harry a thumbs up before Lala grabbed the arm pulling it down.
"Please forgive me my lo-Harry. My body can take a moment to adjust." Lala explained and Harry just smiled with a shrug, the dullahan remembering to call Harry correctly otherwise he'd use her full name.
"Coffeeeeee..." Sumisu moaned while in holding her hand out for Harry to place her mug in it.
"Could have sworn we agreed on wearing pants for breakfast Sumisu." Harry said blushing a little at the thong the woman decided to wear alongside with a unbuttoned white shirt.
"I'll be honest...I thought I was." Sumisu said after taking a big gulp from her mug. "I'll get changed when I finish this, enjoy looking until then." She extended her leg to poke Harry in the chest with her toe, taking note at his wandering eye.
Thankfully he had food to make to put his train of thought back on track so got back to his duties while the rest of the house filtered in, Tio being kind enough to wheel Mero into the room.
"So what's on the agenda today sweetie~?" Rachnera asked as she munched on her omelettes as eggs was the theme of the breakfast this morning, Cerea still helping with making small fruit salads as well for everyone. Suu had been place next to Harry and Tio so everyone didn't use her to get rid of their salads.
"Well I think I might take Lala and introduce her properly to the area, and now that I think about it I should take you as well Rachnera since you are such a shut in." Harry said making the spider woman pout a little at his cheek.
"Mind if I tag along, I think there is a model gun shop I wanna check out since it's my day off." Zombina said raising her hand, yolk running down her chin as shed bitten into her sunny side up.
"Sure that will be fine to have someone with me in case Lala loses her head again." Harry said while looking out to the table. "Anyone else wanna join?"
Shockingly Miia did not volunteer, probably because who was part of this travelling party. 'No way I'm going with those freaky pair, I'll just wait for darling to get home.'
In the end the horror party left the house together Rachnera clinging close to Harry who had refused her suggestion that he let her wrap some thread on him to keep him tethered. Harry suspected she only made the suggestion to give her an excuse to walk so close and pressing her bare under chest against his hair.
Was she just using her under boob?
Zombina was happily chatting away with Lala and by the sounds of it debating the issue of close range weapons as opposed to her preferred long range. Harry would admit he would prefer short range weapon, if only to allow him to spell cast better.
"So sweetie, what do you want to do today since you have me to yourself since the deadheads are distracted?" Rachnera asked Harry hugging him from behind.
"Well do you want to go shopping, like for more clothing supplies, maybe buttons and accessories?" Harry knew Rachnera made her own outfits and hoped she would make something more modest.
No luck so far.
"Well I do need some supplies, maybe we can get some coffee too?" Rachnera said but Harry quickly shook his head. "Huh? Why not, everyone else drinks some?"
"Rachnera, you'd kind get drunk and I'm not letting you drink it, for one I have no idea what kind of drunk you are and two I don't want to get into trouble." Harry pointed out since spiders get drunk on caffeine.
"Now how would a lady like myself get you into any trouble." Rachnera hugged Harry a little closer so she could do a good impression of puff-puff with his head. "Surely you dont' think of me as a naughty woman."
"Naughty...no, but you weave your webs to have fun or do you forget the clean up job I did after you had your 'friend' over." Harry said shuddering at what he had been made to smell when he had to clean Rachnera's room for trash and do fetch her wash basket.
She mainly had delicates with all of her silk clothing that he saved her clothes for her own personal wash setting.
"I do wonder what little Lillith is doing right now, wonder if she got stuck with a host family at last?" Rachnera said looking at her phone at some of the choice pics shed taken during her play session.
"Back on subject, do you need any supplies, it won't take too much time to go." Harry asked the spider, ignoring the softness, only added to by the arachne rubbing his head.
"I suppose we can do a little extra shopping as long as those two don't argue too much in the store." Rachnera said looking at the now bickering pair of undead.
"No I must declare that the sheer power of my scythe will defeat any foe before they can use any of their silly artillery for I have the skill to cut down anything in my way." Lala said actually having her weapon out while Zombina was brandishing her paintball smgs, she had wanted the live round but that was never going to happen.
"Like that will ever happen, no bozo gets even close to me when I got them in my sights, and there is no one fast enough to block everything." Harry sighed seeing the pair bicker and looked up to Rachnera.
"Any chance you can pull them apart?" Rachnera just smiled as her hands wiggled as she spun her threads and soon both of the girls in front of them were put into submission via bondage, Zombine in a Double V position and Lala in reverse prayer. "... I should have mentioned I didn't really need them subdued like so...in public" Harry rubbed his forehead while Rachnera just admired her quick work.
"Well you should have specified as my host, this is stuff I need to know. Just wish I could have them suspended. Or maybe get them into some outfits I can make. Ok I really need more supplies now after we go model shopping." Rachnera said while Harry pulled both girls to their feet, undoing their leg bindings at least and removing their weapons and storing them away.
"So what did we learn?" Harry said at the blushing pair.
"Not to be close to the spider woman at any given time when alone." Zombina said not liking the hungry look she was getting.
"Well that is a good thing to learn but no, Zombina I expect you to not start a fight in public with weapons, same to you Lala. While Zombina should have been more mature you should settle this the proper way." Harry explained as he made sure the bindings were not digging into their skin to be painful.
"And what would be the correct way?" Lala asked curious to how her lord solved problems in his manor.
"Smash...or just talking it out and if neither works resort to pranks only at home and nothing that will hurt or leave permanent damage." Harry listed off possible solutions, waiting until they got to the model shop before undoing their arm binding even if he was getting looks already and whispers about his 'kinks' was being whispered about.
"So are you planning on getting anything Harry?" Zombina ended up asking while looking at sniper models, both bolt actions and magazine style.
"Not really, I usually spend my free time hanging out with you guys or when I can catch up on modern day entertainment, I did have the consoles before Papi and the others arrived after all. Any real reason you get the models when you can use the real things with your jobs?" Zombine held up one of the models that to test the sites on it.
"Just like having something deadly yet not I guess. Might be due to I have to give the government issue stuff back and I can keep this stuff in my room. What about you, headless horse girl?" Lala looked over from some of the fake katanas.
"Death comes in many forms and while I have my personal tool for reaping souls I can appreciate other implements." Translation: They look cool.
"Well if you want something better get it before Rachnera decides you try more poses on you." Harry joked, at least he hopes Rachnera would take it as a joke. "Dont even think about it, you already had your fun."
"The fun never ends sweetie, you know that. But I'll save it for later tonight." Rachnera made a play of kissing Harry cheek as she decided to wait outside where it was nice and warm for her in the sun.
"This is my life now isn't it?" Harry said unable to keep the smile off his face. He was then approached by Lala holding up a model of a katana she wanted to buy and matching tanto. "This all you are getting to add to your room."
"It is Harry, it will suffice to mark my room as my own. Perhaps next time I will find something from our homeland to suit your home better." Lala said having spotted Harry's weapons.
"Yeah but it's really odd how Japan is become a mixing pot for all of the girls." Harry's musings caught Zombina's attention as she finished buying her model buying.
"From what I head, Japan was an easier testing pot since rules are bit stricter and follows common sense...either that or the people in charge watched too much anime and figured Japan was just the best place." Both she and Harry shrugged after a moment to think about it.
"Makes as much sense as anything else I've dealt with, now we better get on with today and leave before Rachnera causes any trouble." Harry said but he heard a taping on the window. Looking he saw Rachnera waving while her other hand what looked to be a thread up to her ear. "Oh I'm going to pay for that later." Rachnera nodded to his words as she beckoned him to join up.
"You should know better to say anything like that sweetie~ I'm always listening after all, as you are the one who will get into trouble first." Rachnera said and Zombina let out a small smirking laugh.
"She's not wrong." Harry resisted the urge to flip the zombie the bird, he'd get her back later.
"Look let's not turn this into a pick on Harry day." Harry said and Lala moved close to hug one of his arms, but part of him was unsure if this was the body moving before the mind or just Lala being a little clingy.
"We can do that later, now come on I need supplies now that I have some inspiration." Rachnera said grabbing Harry's free hand and pulling him away from Lala, deciding to carry him bridal style since his pout was adorable.
"Must you?"
"Well you do look adorable in my arms like this, just enjoy it since not sure if anyone other than the oni girl can do this." Rachnera said as the other two girls were shouting behind her.
"Hey give us back out bag carrier." Zombine called out before tripping as her leg stitching gave out. "Harry...help please."
"Just give me a moment." Harry said shooting Rachnera a look and she begrudgingly let him down so he could pick up Zombina's body while Lala did the kind thing and collected Zombina's leg. "I'll stitch you up once we get to the shop, can you last until then?"
"Well you've got your hands on me so might as well take the offered help, but let me help you get a better grip." Zombina without giving Harry a chance moved his grip to her breast and used her hand to keep it there.
"Are these the challenges my lord faces every day?" Lala wondered to herself, to which her own body shrugged as if to answer for her.
To Lala's surprise when they got to the store they owner greeted Rachnera and Harry, clearly showing that both were regulars. "Mr Harry and Miss Rachnera glad to see you again is there something on your mind for crafting again? I did just get some new dyes you might like." The owner Mrs Ito said looking to the woman while Harry moved to a nervy chair and set Zombina down to sort out her leg bending down to sort said leg and giving the zombine a chance to flash him in her skirt.
"Hmm well I should but I was wondering if you had any leather I could use in some ideas." Rachnera asked the owner who nodded gesturing her to follow into the back.
"Should we be concerned?" Lala asked as Harry got up from his quick sewing and red face, wiping his nose.
"Definitely yes but it's her hobby so its better she vents it." Harry said as he sat next to Zombina.
"I do wonder if your into that sorts stuff Harry, you seem to play rough with me at least." A blushing Zombina said, since she'd had Harry's hand on her boob for several minutes as well as his head between her legs.
"You should behave yourself Zombina, you'll set a terrible example. Please try to be better than these two Lala, be well behaved like Suu or Mero are, even Miia." Harry listed out to the dullahan.
"I will listen to your advice Harry, I believe it will serve me well if I learn from those individuals." Lala said while also thinking on the listed girls might be good examples of how to get close to Harry.
"Hey guys what do you think?" Rachnera came back into the room wearing a different top now. As opposed to her usual black top she had what looked like a leather tube top. "Do you think I could wear something like this or too revealing?"
"Hmm maybe for a night out but not sure if its your kinda style." Zombina said while Harry was a little speechless until Lala poked his head with her sheathed model sword.
It wasn't too effective making Rachnera grin a little wider and she spoke to the Ms Ito about buying more material and trading for some of her thread. She eventually pulled Harry outside as he finally reset and chose not to speak of what happened.
Treating the girls to lunch at a local cafe refitted for luminal species Harry was looking at his phone for a moment, his eyebrows raising as he read though an email. "Really?"
"What's up stud?" Zombina asked while her face was covered in ketchup from her sandwich.
"It's a request for another remodel for our house, 'just in case' the email says too. I don't even know why." Harry said more confused that Sumisu's email was not attached to this request. "What are you even thinking Springfield?"
"With that guy, I can never tell, you hocus pocus types make no sense." Zombina said while Lala and Rachnera just shared a look before nodding in agreement.
"Says the girl who I regularly have to re-stitch together." Harry said putting his phone away, looking to Lala and Rachnera. "So do you want to have an extra walk or want to head home, I'm more asking you Lala as you've had your fun Rachnera." Harry said to which the arachnid who just smirked looking down at her bag or materials and one outfit.
"I do not believe I need much else for this day Harry, your servant is ready to head home I have desires to further improve my room in your manor." Lala said with a hand on her heart.
"What don't I get a say?" Zombina said and Harry held up his phone revealing a note to zombie. "Oh, yeah I wanna head now."
'Meat delivery.' Rachnera guessed since that was the zombie's greatest weakness.
Obviously when they got home Harry was tackled by Miia and Papi and he had to placate the pair while Sumisu came over to Rachnera. "So did you and lalatina (dont call me that!) have fun?" Rachnera just smirked and showed Sumisu the bag with her new outfit. "Wow, how did he react?"
"Bashfully to put it simply, plus he let me wrap up the trouble makers so its beet a really good day, it's given me some inspiration so I will be in my room if you need me or want to model." Rachnera said leaving the room in a very giddy mood, giggling as she climbed the stairs to her loft room.
"Hmmm I kinda feel tempted." Sumisu muttered and even Tio nodded too actually getting up and following Rachnera. "Well that's surprising."
"What is?" Harry asked having placated Papi with food and cuddles before offering only cuddles to Miia, at her request of course.
"Nothing to important." Sumisu replied really curious if that would go anywhere with that pair. "So do you need any help with jobs later, pretty sure Manako will be finished with her work by then." Sumisu asked as Harry rolled his eyes at her slight cheek.
"So do you need some help with your paperwork then?" Harry asked and the woman shamelessly nodded just as she held up her coffee mug as well. "Of course... just give me a minute to put Miia down."
"Im not letting go, I can feel like someone is going to try and seduce you again." Miia said hugging him closer as she was on his back, her hurried voice tickling his neck with her tongue.
"..Okay, just be careful Miia I'm a little ticklish on my neck." Harry would regret saying this as Miia would continue to use her tongue on his neck as he gave Sumisu a hand in filing her paperwork and double checking.
'Sometimes it's a wonder he's so pure, id have been tackling someone to the bed from tickling my neck that much.' Sumisu thought to herself as she now felt more relaxed seeing all her documents in her 'out' pile ready for sending back to HQ. 'Wonder what he'll think of the new outfit I ordered?'
Harry unaware of what delightful surprises awaited him, was going through his personal accounts to make sure he could support his lifestyle still, and if he'd need to call on any investments soon or do as Luna suggested and write a book to sell. 'Not a bad idea, would make a good way to help non magical accept us when we more or less have to break the statute of silence.'
"Wait, what are these letters?" Harry asked seeing three letters mixed into the mail that weren't for him, in fact they were for Papi, Cerea and Miia respectively. "Huh wonder who these are from?"
"What is it darling?~" Miia asked whom had been wrapped around Harry and snozzing just a little since work was boring but he was heating her nicely. "Huh?" Miia was confused when Harry handed her a letter. "That's weird I know this handwriting."
Opening the letter Harry felt Miia's tail tighten on him a little. "Something wrong?"
"No its nothing darling." Miia slid off his back and by proxy the enlarged chair Harry charmed so she could fit while he worked.
"Wonder what spooked her?" Harry wondered aloud idly send the other two letters down with an simple charm spell to Papi and Cerea.
"Perhaps she has received a message from the beyond warning her of her demi-Crack-owwww..." Harry cut off Lala who was swaying to her chuunibyou side for a moment.
"Please don't make this a regular thing, I had enough predictions of death in school divination." Just the thought was giving him a headache that he wanted to drink away. "Did you need something though Lala?"
Lala nodded, albeit she did so with her head in her arms. "Indeed my clan was curious in the message I sent to whether you will be visiting for samhain this year? It would be a great joy to have the new master visit to see the souls off in your homeland."
"Sigh I'll consider it but going to the British isles especially Scotland or Ireland for that matter could be an issue due to the local wizard presence. I will look I into it for the future." Harry said as Lala bowed to him.
"The lady Morrigan would love to meet you all the same lord Harry." Lala said before leaving the room.
"Yeah dealing with gods of old, just the thing I need to keep my life normal as normal as my daily life with these luminal girls gets." Harry said reaching for a draw and unlocking it with a spell. From the draw he drew out a box and un-shrunk it, opening it to reveal three items, a wand with no parallel, a stone to call on those departed from his life and a cloak to conceal yourself even from death, the deathly hallows. "And yet there is still much to do in a role I know so little about."
Putting the box away harry went down stairs to see Papi and Cerea reading their own letters. "What do they say?" Harry asked as Sumisu, Rachnera, Zombina and Doppel snickering.
In unison the three with letters responded. "My Mom's/Mother's/Mummy's coming to visit!" the snickers switched to full laughing at this as Harry had the most fun task when in a relationship.
Meeting the parents.
XBreakX
Over the next couple of days Harry was making plans for meeting the parents so to speak, but he still had some time so was dealing with a different problem. The house was low on supplies, his usual groceries delivery providers were away on holiday and they forgot to let him know.
The result was a fridge and pantry close to empty as Miia was still experimenting with cooking without supervision and when she did, she forgot to relock it so it was besieged by many.
"What to do, I really dont wanna leave town just to get all my shopping done, we can hold off to tomorrow at least with what we have left in the fridge." Harry also didn't want to spoil everyone in the house all the time as it would not be realistic to the interspecies exchange program's expectations.
Most homes dont have as much disposable income as he did and he was minted more or less now thanks to sound investments, Chao-Bao Zi was a healthy chain now.
'Grumble' Harry's stomach protested as he looked down at his rebellious belly. "Alright I'll feed you." He muttered heading to the kitchen and opening the fridge only to now find it stripped bare.
"..."
Harry closed the door and opened it again to see his eyes were not making a mistake. "What happened to the leftovers?" Harry muttered turning to the dning area and found a horror show of pot bubbling colours not natural.
"Miia...have you been cooking again?" Harry asked turning to the dining table and getting an answer. "Lala are you and your body ok?"
(ᗒᗣᗕ)
"And thus I depart from this world to return home." The bubbling smoke emitting from both her neck and her mouth were disturbing, more so as they held no scent.
"Sorry sweetie, Miia forgot to taste her food herself and is using the dead girls as guinea pigs again." Rachnera said idly poking Lala's body.
"I tasted it!" Miia replied, which was true she did try it but Miia only have a quarter sense of taste compared to Harry. "Oh hi darling did you want to try this."
Harry removed his glasses to pinch his nose before letting out a sigh. "Miia clean this up, and you're on double salad tonight as punishment for cooking without me being there to help...and for not leaving anything for everyone to eat later."
"What! But there's tones of leftovers here for everyone to enjoy." Miia cried out and Harry stood firm under her sweet bright snake eyes as she looked close to crying.
"Do you want to make it a week of salads?" Harry knew Miia could get her supply of protein from eggs in her salads.
"I'll start cleaning."
"Hehe." Rachnera giggles to herself before feeling Harry stare on her as well. "Um what is it sweetie?" Harry held out a brush and cloth for her to help with. "Why?"
"You should have called me or stopped her." Rachnera hung her head as he was right...but she really wanted to see Lala react and for her body to get shut down as if was the best model for poses, human level ones.
Harry refused to model still.
In the end Harry left the house with Cerea, Papi, Suu and Mero to head to the local markets seeing as even the supermarket was closed today.
Good old potter luck at work.
Heading to the market district Harry was a little shocked at their reactions.
"Its a mermaid, put the fish away.
"Stop frying the chicken."
"Mother put the poultry and horse meat away."
"Oh for the love of... THEY EAT FISH AND MEAT!" Harry cupped his hands and all the stalls suddenly realized who was there before the words registered. "Could have sworn a told you all that before."
Mr Moto the poultry shop owner waved as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Sorry about that Harry, guess we got a little panicked since its usually just you and Suu down this way and we haven't really seen the others you live with."
"It's alright, better to do it now with me than when more interspecies come start living in the area I guess." Harry said looking around and spotting Mero by the Fishmongers; Mr Gyo. "Mero?"
"Oh my all this fish look quite fresh, oily and very healthy." Mero said looking up at the Mr Gyo who was stunned into silence, seeing an illusion of royal features upon Mero. "It's been a long while since I've seen such wonderful fish. You are truly one who understand the waters of my home, for that I am pleased."
Mero's graceful words were so bright to Mr Gyo he couldn't help but bow in thanks to the mermaid. "Thank you so much miss...thank you for bringing such a wonderful person to my shop Harry."
"Um... Your welcome?" Harry was taken aback as Mr Gyo was normally so relaxed with him and Suu, it gave him a feeling similar to when he was at the aquarium with Miia and mero.
"Please have this, it's our special high quality yellowtail!" Mr Gyo tried to push the fish into Harry's hands who was refusing to abuse such charity.
While distracted it seemed some of the local children had taken to paying with Papi and Suu. By the end of it Mr Gyo had given them a good deal on some fish as well as his leftovers, all of which now rested in a box balanced on the bars of Mero's wheelchair.
"Ive never seen Mr Gyo so pushy, guess you made an impression on him Mero." Harry said pushing her chair as she held the fish box steady.
"Indeed, I hope to see other examples of his talents next time we come this way if that would be alright." Harry nodded to this simple request as it would be better for Mero.
"Good now where did we leave Cerea, ahh never mind Mrs Yasai has lured her." Harry said smirking at the vegetable stall where Cerea was indulging on carrot sticks. "Enjoying feeding my house guest her favourite food, Mrs Yasai."
"Ah Harry, should have guessed this lovely girl is with you." The plump woman smacked his back making him stumble a bit. "Glad to see my mom's hard work put such a happy expression on her face. You looking for deals today?"
"Yep, any chance you can give me my usual but with extra carrots...and you got any unsellables. I'm kinda preparing for rainy day scenario after recent events." Harry said and with fast speed Mrs Yasai had handed Harry two boxes of vegetables, drawing a drooling Cerea's attention.
"Harry...can I have one of those." Cerea was already reaching for a carrot as Harry paid the woman.
"Sure Cerea." He handed her the carrot that she shoved in her mouth right away her ears flapping and practically trotting in place. Although it did look a little strange having such a large thing in her mouth to nibble on, but to Mrs Yasai it just looked adorable.
"You are lucky today Harry, these weird ones are a pain to sell on but now I know they are going to a good home." Mrs yasai moved in close to whisper. "You better take care of this one properly and bring her round more often...okay?" She gripped his shoulder while smiling at him.
"Will do." Harry replied quickly.
"Oh are you in need of a little extra Harry, if you are I have some bean curds that you can have for cheap." Mrs Tofu said holding up a big bag while Mrs Tamago and Mr Pan both offered some freebies with his normal purchases. All in all for not being there long, they had a bag of bean curds with extra panko and bread crusts plus B grade eggs.
"Wow master you got so much for dinner." Papi said having waved goodbye to the kids she and Suu were playing with.
"Yeah way more than I can carry normally and I cant cheat." Harry said while Mero looked up at Cerea.
"Say Centorea cant you carry it?" She asked and the response she got was Cerea crossing her arms.
"I am not a pack horse." Cerea said but then Harry looked to her.
"Sorry Cerea, but could you take this home for me, and make sure it gets locked up. I'm afraid if I get any more something will happen to it the second I walk in." Harry asked with a smile that the centaur could not resist.
"Of course Harry." Cerea replied not seeing Mero's expression of disbelief as Harry place the items on Cerea to carry before she put her hands on her wheelchair.
"...Centorea..."
"Nggh, not a word." Cerea, Mero and Papi set off to return home leaving Harry with Suu.
"How come we aren't going home master?" Suu asked as Harry patted her head.
"There's a place we need to visit since we can get a few more ingredients from there and to check on something." Harry said as Suu wrapped her head tentacle around his wrist while nuzzling to his hand.
"Do we really need more, if getting food is a problem Suu can just eat anything I digest." Suu had Harry smile a little.
"That's kinds of you Suu but I like everyone being equal and everyone eating at the same table when it comes to eating. You've all become my family now, come on we have to get moving before it gets dark." Harry said as they moved to the edge of town and to the nearby forest.
"Kii! Are you nearby its Harry and Suu!" Harry called out in the forest.
'Creak, Creak, Creak'
The Dryad came towards the pair atop a wooden crawler chair, now sporting her mature form again. "Hmm no Papi?"
"Afraid not, she went home with some supplies, has the door been working in the garden for you both to visit one another." Harry asked and kii nodded, motioning them to follow.
She lead them to an area with various plants, mushrooms and a small stream running through it but toward one of the larger trees was a stone arch with various symbols carved in making it look like a old mystic gateway.
"It nice that Papi can visit me using that strange gate." Kii said as she took out a watering can to do some watering. "So are you just here to check on me like that lazy woman?"
"Actually...I wanted to ask if we could please obtain some of the edible plants since there have been some accidents on cooking." Harry put his hands together as he asked.
"Hmm I'm not sure, while you do allow me to visit I'm am not sure I should let you destroy the forest." Suu hearing Kii started moving some closer her hands wriggling. "However..."
Suu took her chance and seized Kii's arms and removed the leaves over her nipples, immediately putting her mouth of them and sucked them, pretty hard with how high Kii's voice got.
"Suu what are you doing?" Grabbing her head tendril Harry pulled the slime away from the leaking dryad.
"I thought shed say yes if I did this." Suu did a 180 degree turn to face Harry. "Kii seemed to enjoy it when it wa-" Kii had her chair wrap branches around Suu's mouth to make her keep quiet.
"I wasn't going to say no." Kii said redressing her body with fresh leaves, looking at Harry blushing a fair bit. "Just reminding you to take stuff in moderation, after all Papi told me that I should listen to friends requests and you have shown yourself to be a friend Harry."
"Thanks Kii, but do you know which stuff is poisonous since not everything has that distinct scent?" Harry asked not wanting everyone to be praying to the porcelain thrown all night if he picked up the wrong herb or mushroom.
Kii just shrugged having no idea proceeding to water plants with an elephant shaped watering can.
"And this would be a perfect moment for Neville to be here and tell me I should have studied more in herbology." Harry muttered before hearing a bzzzzz noise, then followed by a bing-bong sound, both of which coming from Suu.
"These ones are fine, not these ones." Suu continued to put more plants in her mouth to do a poison check. "I'll deal with these ones."
"Wow, didn't know you could do that...and be careful Suu, don't eat too many."
Harry's suggestion may have gotten ignored as by the time he had full bags of edible safe plants Suu was literally bubbling. "Sorry if we took a little more than expected Kii."
"Its fine Harry, they will grow back soon enough, are you planning a feast of some sort if you have taken so many?" Kii asked as Harry had four bags full.
"Considering the extras I got...maybe, why do you want to join us?" Kii nodded to this proposal.
"Yes it would be nice to see Papi again, and perhaps apologise to that zombie woman I crush underfoot previously." She had seen the woman in pieces after shed calmed down from her kaiju mode.
"See you later Kii, maybe you can let Harry suck on you again after he's done feeding the lazy bones back home." Suu said in a tone so happy it did not match up with the words.
"Suu!" Harry was sure her attitude had been poisoned a little.
"What's this about lazy bones?" from nearby Sumisu came out into the clearing having removed her jacket since it was a warm day...and showing off her black bra as shed clearly been sweating.
Looks lacy
"Sumisu, what you doing here?" Harry asked doing his best to ignore his instinct to look.
"Well Kii here is a bit of a trouble to find a home for, so I come and check on her when I have the time." Sumisu then spotted one bag that Harry had not shrunk. "Ohhh what's with all the greens?"
"It's your salad for tonight." Harry said a bit smugly as Sumisu stuck her tongue out. "Miia went on a cooking spree without me so this is emergency shopping and Sumisu...she used your coffee."
"Thats fine I left some in the pantry."
"She forgot to lock it." Harry said and he might have regretted it seeing shadows appear on Sumisu's face barely concealing her rage. "I'll pick some up on the way back, I have to let Suu walk off this poison in her system."
"The couch potato will be fine, let's go Harry before she gets more wrinkles and makes Kii wilt." Suu started tugging on Harry's hand.
"Wow you are a little mean when going bubble slime Suu." Harry caught up and lead Suu along one of the rivers spotting some fish swimming in it.
"Huh didn't think there were such big fish in the river." Harry voice was heard by a pair of reptilian ears.
"I finally found you!" turning their heads Suu and Harry saw the dragonnewt Draco leaping toward them. "Miia-chan will be mine."
Sadly for Draco her sky attack was countered by a poison beam from Suu rendering her body paralysed.
"That's kinda cool." Harry muttered since Suu rarely wasted water so seeing her spit some out in high pressure was a surprise. What wasn't a surprised was Suu's habit of molesting girls as she proceeded to attack Draco who tried to bargain with her saying she wouldn't attack Harry again.
Suu of course refused and attacked her weak point (tail) for massive damaged and knocked her out. This was the scene Polt came to spotting Draco collapsed on the floor, stripped of her clothes and sticky in a few places.
"Ok I'm starting to think MON needs slimes on the force or at least use them to train stamina since everyone will run from them." Polt said carrying a box.
"What do you have there; Polt and are you with her?" Harry pointed to draco which Polt confirmed with a nod of her head.
"Ah yeah I got an assignment to help with Draco's community service so we are fishing out catfish, the American species since they are pretty invasive." Polt explained as Draco managed to recover some movement.
It was a pretty warm day thankfully.
"Why do I have to be stuck doing this, I don't even like fish." Draco complained and Polt just smiled.
"You are still in a lot of trouble, don't think I didn't hear you leaping at Harry here. Now get your rod and give me a hand." Polt took a seat by the edge of the river and cast her line in.
"So what are you going to do with the fish?" Harry asked looking at the still moving fish in the box.
"Bury them."
"Ok...but could we take them instead of creating a hot spot for cats to dig around?" Harry suggested as Polt managed to snag another into the box.
"Are you sure, it won't take me long to dig the hole after all."
"You just want to dig a hole don't you?" Harry said and Polt stuck her tongue out at him. "Once you're out of bait we'll show Draco here how to drain them since can't really transport them while alive." Harry said and Polt nodded as Harry took out a pair of knives while neither was looking.
"Can you even eat catfish, they like smell super bad?" Draco asked losing her fish and it stealing her bait.
"It's not so bad once you have skinned and soaked them in milk." In a flourish he removed one of the catfish's head and started to drain it, feeding the head to Suu. It wasn't long before Draco had a turn who was really squeamish with having to cut off the head.
After that Harry headed home and when dinner rolled around he had taken thee challenge and constructed a feast that left him with plenty left over. Everyone was sat round the big table, Kii having joined them and sat between Suu and Papi.
"Wow you really did get a lot today honey~" Rachnera said looking at the spread of fish, chicken and salads on the table, with desert waiting on the side cooling just a little.
"Yeah things just kept coming so we should be fine, thank again Suu for your help, you too plot." Harry said patting both their heads as he passed them on the table.
"Sorry for snacking Harry but it was the chips of I start nibbling on you." Zombina said smirking as she served herself some of the fried catfish.
"That's fine Zombina, just remember from now im booby trapping the pantry for the sneakers of the house, also...salad first." Harry replaced her fried catfish with a big plate of salad.
"Awwww."
"Now dinner is served everyone, dig in." Everyone cheers and tucked in some having more manners than others as Harry sat down between Tio and Sumisu.
"You know you didn't have to go all out like this Harry, we could have helped a little more." Harry waved of Sumisu's concerns.
"Those three have been a bit stressed after they got letters from their mothers, I'm thinking its why Miia went a little too far this morning. One meal like this and she should be calmed down." Harry whispered to Sumisu while serving himself some of the fish stew.
"Yeah and they do look happy so good work landlord."
"Thanks... and thanks for doing the dishes." Harry had waited in till she took a sip of her coffee so shed spit it out right onto Doppel who was immediately tackled by Suu for the free and tasty liquid refreshment. "Just kidding."
"Geez do you wanna kill me?" Harry and Tio laughed at the horrified expression had while some of the others tried to help out Doppel but it was a losing battle so they settled to just eat the food and let Suu came down on her own.
It was for the greater good of the food.
