Chapter 799: There's Some Rivalry
Somehow, I managed to get through their torture session with Bracca without them realising that it was really me standing there instead of my Shadow Guard.
I chose to leave halfway and the best thing was that I didn't even need to make an excuse to leave since we were all supposed to be Shadow Guards.
Thus, everyone there would know that the only person who would be able to make them move was myself. So to them, it should look like they had received a mental command for them to return to my side which should not be suspicious at all.
When I returned to the training room, I transformed myself back to normal again and sat myself on the ground.
Oh, I wasn't traumatised by the sight of Bracca being tortured of course, this was something that I had already seen before. I was just feeling a little bit worn out after having to stand there without moving for so long.
Without hesitation, Eins sat on her knees and picked up my left foot to rest on her thigh.
I wondered what she was trying to do until she pulled off my boot to start massaging my foot.
Ahhh~ That feels nice~
Zwei took up position opposite Eins and also started massaging my foot as well.
Drei then moved behind me and started working on my shoulders, kneading my tired muscles and helping me relax.
Ahhhh~ This is the benefits of having summons that can read your mind~
And that was the position I was in when the door opened and Katsuki walked in.
"Mistress, are you alright?" she asked.
I jumped slightly at her appearance, "Oh! I'm fine, Katsuki! What brings you here?"
"Your Shadow Guards suddenly left so I was worried that something happened to you."
I waved at her, "Oh nothing happened. I just felt tired and I think my Shadow Guards reacted to that thought and rushed over here to help me with this."
Katsuki stared at the Shadow Guards surrounding me before looking back at me, "Would Mistress like me to help you as well?"
"Eh? Would that be ok?"
"Of course, Mistress. Please allow me to do it."
I giggled, "Alright, go ahead, Katsuki."
She moved towards me and tried to get behind me to massage my shoulders, only to realise that Drei was not budging.
Huh… Why do I feel like my Shadow Guards seemed to be intentionally making things difficult for Katsuki?
"Drei… Let Katsuki take over," I ordered.
"Yes, Master."
She finally moved, allowing Katsuki to take her place.
Katsuki immediately started massaging my shoulders, her fingers expertly kneading my muscles and releasing the tension in them.
"Mistress, does this feel good?"
"Mmm~ Yesssshhh~" I moaned.
Unexpectedly, I felt Eins and Zwei shift themselves and they started working on my legs with even more fervour than before.
Eh? Wait… Are they trying to compete with each other?
I thought I might be mistaken but I could see Eins and Zwei staring at Katsuki who also maintained eye contact with them without backing down.
I mean… I get why Katsuki felt that she needed to compete with them since she was afraid that I might replace her with my Shadow Guards but… Why are my Shadow Guards also being so competitive with her?
"Master, please excuse me."
I looked up to see Drei approaching me from the front while Eins and Zwei spread my legs open to allow her to get closer to me.
I wondered what she wanted to do until she knelt down in front of me before she reached her hands up to start massaging my boobs.
"E… Eh? Ahhhhnnn… Drei…. What are you… Nggghhh~"
As though taking my words as an encouragement, she started massaging my boobs even harder.
Why are you doing this?
"It's to help you relax, Master. Your lymph nodes here are rather sore."
Is this just an excuse?
"Of course not, Master. Here."
She squeezed the bottom of my boobs which only intensified the pleasure even more.
"Wai… Wait… Drei… Slow down…"
That only made Drei squeeze my boobs harder while she moved her hands in slow, deliberate circles.
That was when Katsuki reached out and grabbed Drei's hands, stopping her from continuing.
"What do you think you're doing?" She asked, staring at my Shadow Guard.
Eins, Zwei and Drei all turned to look at her.
"We are simply helping Master to relax. Please do not impede us."
Yeah… I'm pretty sure my Shadow Guards have some kind of rivalry with Katsuki for some reason… I wonder why?
Katsuki stared at Drei with an emotionless face, "Mistress did not ask for this. You are troubling her."
All three of them tilted their heads at Katsuki even though only Drei was the one answering her.
"We are aware of Master's inner thoughts. There is no possible way that we would do something that Master does not want us to do."
I quickly raised my hands, "Ok, umm… That's fine, Katsuki… Drei, you don't need to massage my boobs."
"... Understood, Master."
She stepped back from me without protest, leaving the others to continue massaging me while she stood at a distance away.
I felt a little conscious right now so I let them massage me for a while more before clearing my throat to get their attention.
"Umm… Alright I think that's enough for now… Thank you," I told them, trying to stand up.
Unexpectedly, both Katsuki and my Shadow Guards disagreed.
"Mistress, there is no need to hold back. I do not mind serving you like this."
"Please relax Master. Allow us to help you relax."
I actually didn't expect them to say that… And it kind of feels like they were saying that just so that they could continue competing with each other for some reason…
Were they always like this?
I was pulled back down so that I was leaning against Katsuki.
They continued to massage me but the door suddenly opened, revealing Odeta, Delmare and Lisa standing there.
"Ah!! I knew it! They're having fun by themselves!" Lisa cried out.
Katsuki didn't even look in their direction and scoffed, "Mistress is feeling tired so I am merely helping her relax."
Odeta raised her hand, "I want to help Sister Aster relax too!"
Delmare also raised her hand shyly and despite not saying anything, I know that she also wants to join in.
I didn't get to say anything before Lisa rushed over to me and dove into my bosoms and started motorboating me.
Katsuki did not even react to my Infrid's actions unlike what happened with Drei, showing the clear disparity in treatment between the two.
I reached down and pinched Lisa on her cheek, causing her to let out a cry of pain.
"Ahhhh! Ouch, ouch, ouch!! Aster!! That huuuurts!"
"Control yourself, Lisa… Anyway, I'm ok now so you can stop… I'm supposed to be training in the first place, not slacking off. More importantly, what were you girls doing?"
Lisa tilted her head at me after I released her cheek, "Eh? What do you mean, Aster?"
"I mean you girls disappeared with that Bracca guy just now right? Where did you take him?" I asked, trying to act like I didn't know the truth.
Odeta laughed, "We taught him a good lesson for you, Sister Aster! We punished him a lot!"
Oh… I actually thought they might lie about it or even pretend they don't know what happened to him instead of telling me the truth.
"Could I go see him?" I asked.
"That would not be advisable, Mistress," Katsuki answered from behind. "He's still being punished by the other servants of the mansion."
Oh, she actually admitted it. I wonder if it's because she expected my Shadow Guards to tell me about what had happened so there was no point in denying it?
Before I could ask anything else, Odeta and Delmare suddenly came forward and held my hands in theirs.
"Let us help you relax like this, Sister Aster!" Odeta requested with a proud smile on her face.
Err… I kind of want to-- Ahhhhnnnn~
Nooo… They're all massaging me at the same time… Why does it feel so good? Ahhhhhnnnn~
Even Lisa rubbing my boobs felt comfortable instead of being lewd somehow and I found myself sinking further and further into bliss.
There were so many hands roaming around and kneading my muscles where I didn't even realise I was sore and tired until they started massaging me there.
Ahhhh~ This blissful feeling that was wrapping around me felt really decadent and I really didn't think I deserved to feel so blissful.
It took me a while before I came back to myself again and it seems like I fell asleep part way through.
When I looked around, I realised that everyone else had left and only my Shadow Guards had remained. Oh, I had been resting on Eins's thighs.
"Where is everyo--"
My question was interrupted by a scream coming from outside.
"AHHHHH!!! PLEASE STOP!!!! PLEASE!!!"
…
Did they go back to…
"Yes, Master," Eins answered me before my thought could even be completely formed.
Ah… So they went back to torture that Bracca guy…
I think I'd rather not know what they're doing to him so… I guess I'll just start my training here now…
