CHAPTER 1472: CHAPTER 1471: YET ANOTHER ’PROBLEM’

After that somewhat terrifying event, I took a few minutes to gather myself and just get myself back to a workable equilibrium before I pulled myself off of the ground, wanting to head back inside and get clean now so that I would be ready for later.

As I did so though Cali spoke up again, taking my attention away from my plans for the day and instead having me talk with her about something that was a bit... complicated, and something that I was definitely going to need to do a lot more thinking on.

"Kat, do you remember the other promise you made me? How you would be not only a reliable source of sustenance for me - where I could come and drain you of ’Lust’ to satiate myself and grow back to my former strength - but also how you would become my Masque?"

Turning back towards the Arch Fiend, I stared at her side profile for a moment and thought back to the fateful day we had met, going over what was said and agreed upon a few times and eventually having to nod silently as I recalled agreeing to that specific thing.

"I don’t particularly care how you do it, or what sort of things you will or won’t do, but... this is the opportunity for you to fulfill this part of the deal, isn’t it? Unlike my oh so wonderful ’cousins’, the influence of a Sla Fiend is... insidious and easily hidden. Vice is in everyone, and no one is able to deny their urges forever."

Taking a deep breath and turning to me with a small smile, Cali drifted over and gently caressed my cheek as she added "Where I would have loved to see you personally seduce, satisfy and corrupt - using your own body and tricks - some influential people and bring them into ’the fold’, I will just have to make do with observing how you maintain your ’purity’ as you bring them in via other means."

Cali gave me a nice pat before raising a brow at her snakes as they hissed something at her, giving the Arch Fiend a moment of pause as she mulled over whatever it was they had ’said’ and eventually causing her to speak again.

"I also am being told to remind you that the duty of my ’Masque’ is simply to create a congregation of sorts that can act as a secondary supply of sustenance for me. How you want to do that is up to you, but do understand that this would have been so much easier if you were less chained down..."

She let out an exaggerated sigh before staring straight at my chest as she added "It would have been nice to see how you made men, women and futanari all drool with your ’charming personality’ as you cut them deals that benefitted everyone involved. Tis a shame I cannot actually witness it, but oh well..."

Another sigh escaped her lips before she gave me a smile and bid me farewell, disappearing into a puff of smoke once more and leaving me to handle yet another ’problem’ that was going to need solving.

What I was supposed to do to create this ’coven’ or ’congregation’ that could supply Cali with enough Lust to feed off of was currently a big unknown for me, and the entire idea of doing so without using myself as a catalyst made it even harder to figure out.

On that piece of the ’problem’ I quite agreed with her since it would have been easier if I could have flaunted my body and promised these people some sort of sexual favor in exchange for whatever it was that I wanted or needed from them, but I wasn’t that kind of person anymore.

So with that dilemma added on top of everything else that I was already dealing with, I felt a fair amount of pressure building up on both my shoulders and in my head as I walked back to the house and made my way to the bathroom.

Pointedly ignoring the very lively forge that the other three were inhabiting was another bit of ’pressure’ that draped itself over my shoulders when I slid into the waters of our bath, where it began to fade away slowly as I was lulled into a peaceful afternoon doze.

It was one that I needed as it cleansed my mind of everything negative and instead left me feeling rejuvenated, even more so when I was eventually joined by my three lovely and virile wives that were arguing about... something.

I missed most of it since it seemed to end upon entering the bath, and instead of speaking some more or telling me about it Leone just huffed and pulled me onto her lap, biting into my neck and shocking me a little since it was a deeper bite compared to normal.

Anput didn’t help since she just draped herself across my back and bit into the other side of my neck, while Jahi just rolled her eyes with a half smile and forced herself into this equation by laying ’herself’ on my head...

The bath got rather heated as they continued to argue with one another using me as the medium, pulling me away from each other and sending me into a bit of a frenzy as I got a sort of rough treatment I wasn’t expecting whatsoever.

It was definitely appreciated though, and even when they finished up it took me another few minutes to come back around, during which they had finished their argument and were making up... and making out.

By the time we were out of the bath and ready to tackle the rest of the day I was rather determined to try and knock out as many problems as I could, which started with me dragging Leone over to join Jahi, Adelina and Nirinia as we discussed the layouts of everything that needed to be done now.

The immediate water system, fields that we for sure knew we were going to have, remaining housing around us and the precautionary measures we should take to deal with any extreme weather events that might happen... boring stuff, really, which took an hour or two just to discuss...
