at some point the "battle" in the river looked so fun, that eris and camila also jumped into the water and started participating, of course that led to some simple formations to be used to raise waves against aster and mylene as eris wanted to tease her friend.

"hey, that''s cheating eris", said mylene as she was dragged by a wave, the upper part of her bikini nearly drifted away but she managed to tighten the laces on time.

eris chuckled and then stuck her tongue at mylene before saying.

"all is fair in love and war~", her voice was pretty suggesting which made mylene feel as if a vein was popping on her neck.

eris suddenly had a bad premonition which was confirmed a second later, when mylene used her monstrous strength to kick water at her, creating a current that nearly tore off the lower part of eris''s bikini.

"hyaa~", eris let out a startled sound as she was pushed by the current all the way to the other side of the river, eris wanted to complain but then she saw mylene doing the same so that kana could ride on the wave.

''it''s impossible to get angry when that little girl is involved'', thought eris defeated, nonetheless she still jumped towards mylene and threw water at her along with kana, even espi used its tail to throw water at others.

aster laughed, the sight of the girls letting go and just enjoying spending time together was something he loved.

as he was about to go and play some small races with agnes, he noticed that vivian was still acting a bit reserved in the meaning that she wasn''t starting a conversation on her own, the mothers weren''t in the water but she just stayed in her chair with a somewhat shy but expectant expression on her pretty face.

aster chuckled, he swam towards vivian and then before she could react, he threw water at her, aster didn''t know how much has her body recovered so he was careful to not take it too far.

still, she ended up all drenched along the chair, her sundress was now clinging to her body, giving her a charming appearance.

vivian saw that her body wasn''t producing poison to "defend" her and she let out a sigh or relief, she didn''t wan to enter the water in case her poison were to contaminate the river, sure aster could probably purify it but that would spoil the festive mood currently ongoing.

"you are going to have to deal with us more now that you are joining the sect, come here", jokingly said aster.

"come sister vivian, the water is perfect~", added kana as she waved her hand at vivian.

vivian smiled she got up from her chair and then walked into the river, until only her upper body was out of the water, she realized she actually didn''t know how to swim as she hasn''t had the need, but of course she didn''t sink since she was using her soul energy to float.

aster passed next to her and vivian held onto aster''s shoulder, so that he helped advance.

the girls welcomed both aster and vivian by throwing water at them, the three mothers saw everything from their beach lounges while they talked to each other.

"i used to think this was a waste of time when i was younger, i might have been a bit too harsh with alice when she was younger, buy my darling has taught me that this isn''t bad all~", mumbled lilia while she stretched her diabolic curvy body.

sarina who was enjoying a cold drink aster prepared, nodded as she saw her daughter having a lot of fun with a lot of people and espi, compared to the miserable destiny robert was preparing or the selfish purposes of the storm roc family, aster has surrounded her daughter with a lovely family.

"mm, sister lilia is right".

felicia who was silent a moment ago, changed her position to lay down sidewards while looking at lilia, before saying.

"i''m no one to judge, but i''m curious how is it that you two ended up becoming his lovers?", she asked.

of course the question took lilia and sarina by surprise, but since as it was rare for them to talk about their relationship with a third party, they both answered.

"of course, everything for my cute sarina".

sarina''s face reddened at the spot, flirting in public was still a bit too embarrassing for her, that being said she of course turned around and showed aster her pretty back.

"mm~", sarina softly moaned when the cold sunscreen made contact with her skin, aster didn''t fool around too much with lilia, because she was clearly teasing him un purpose, if he did it, then... things could have gotten out of control a bit, but sarina was different, she didn''t tempt him but instead reacted to his wolf paws caressing her soft body.

all this while felicia watched from the sides, lilia was happily resting with a clearly cunning smile on her face as she reached her goal, to tease her son and get his attention, though the way she demanded it was... lewd to say the least.

in contrast sarina seemed to be really enjoying with just being lightly caressed, her comfortable expression was enough to make any girl feel jealous, two completely different treatments.

''what an interesting dynamic'', she thought as she took a sip of her drink, having lived the past twenty or so years in the red heart planet, surrounded by "muscle heads", she has seen the usual strong guys surround themselves of many woman.

well to be honest the same applied to some of the female cultivators, those that excelled in the body path tend to be quite frank with their desires, of course she has also seen energy cultivators and she can safely say that the harem is centered in satisfying the desires of the head of the household.

honestly they were quite selfish, but normally the one in charge was either the strongest or had a way higher status than the rest, and she is sure as hell that aster isn''t nor the strongest or the one with the highest status and yet all this incredible women kept gathering around him.

lilia sometimes joked about being able to feel when someone is thinking about her beloved son, she slightly opened her eyes and gazed at felicia, she giggled and then sent a message that only she could hear.

''don''t gaze too hard, it might give you away miss "married" woman fufu~''.

felicia bitterly smiled as she left her body fall on the lounge chair, while looking at the sky.

"the weather is quite nice today", she mumbled.

the rest of the day was quite funny, aster kept playing with the girls in the river and at some point the mothers joined them to play a mother-daughter splash war, the one who probably had the most fun was kana as she got to play with a lot of sisters at the same time.

the other one to whom this experience was so refreshing was vivian, for being the first time she went to a friend''s house or even spent the day relaxing, it set the bar pretty high, agnes was the same, this was definitely different to the way she spends her free time which is basically training until she is physically exhausted without using her cultivation to recover.

such a "girly" and childish way to spend the day surprisingly gave her the same amount of satisfaction, which is a lot to say considering she has never enjoyed doing anything else as much... until she got to peek into aster''s soul which created a second favorite thing for her, being around him.

still aster considered himself the real winner as he got to see all these beauties smiling and relaxing, it was a bliss to the heart, and this also increased his motivation to bring a certain sword girl out of the mind space, just imagining her bright smiling face when the moment arrives made his heart skip a beat.

though the games in the water ended when the sun was setting, that wasn''t the end of the fun at all, aster lit up a bonfire and the girls prepared some skewers to roast.

this remembered aster of the first time he left the wolfstein castle so many years ago and camped in the forest, the difference is that he is now surrounded by a lot of people.

"feed me darling~", of course lilia took every chance to tease her son, which ended in aster giving some food to all the girls, and he receiving a bite from the girl''s food too, especially kana who sat on his lap while she happily chewed on the small pieces of meat.

alice and tiana got into some kind of competition to see who was more of a glutton, which ended in both of their mothers scolding them for being too competitive and getting an upset stomach after eating too much.

once everyone was full, they laid down on the soft grass to digest the food while they star gazed.

aster''s head was resting on sarina and lilia''s lap, while alice and aria each hugged one of his arms, kana who had fallen asleep after such a long day of playing, was sleeping snuggling on aster''s chest.

"mm, big brother~", she mumbled in her sleep, which made aster smile as he patted the little girl''s head.

''i''m really thankful to have reincarnated'', thought aster.
