My Servant System

Marquess Asmodia led us into the bathroom, chuckling at how Jahi was practically dragging me with her. She approached the showers, touching the activation rune and gesturing to the shower next to her.

As Jahi led me towards the other shower, I was gaping at the Marquess' back. Not only was it muscular, and looked like carved sapphire, but it was riddled with scars and burns. The Marquess looked over at me, chuckling.

"You really are Jules kid, aren't you? She always stares at them, asking me for the stories behind them and if I still feel any pain from them. I'm fine, kid. No need to worry your pretty little head over it. Besides, I don't think you should be worrying about me; you should be worrying about your master. She seems quite upset." 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

I followed her gaze, meeting Jahi's pouting face again. Before I could say something, she turned away with a 'Hmph!' and activated the shower.

My gaze flickered between the two, looking at the Marquess' smirk and Jahi's pout.

"Wash her, kid. She doesn't like you paying attention to someone other than her. That's something she picked up from Ria."

Nodding, I inched forward, before reaching around Jahi for the small vial of what looked like shampoo. When I grabbed it, I poured a little on my hands before gently running them through Jahi's long raven black hair. As I kept running my hands through her hair, I could feel her swaying side to side, humming a happy tune.

"Is... Is this alright, Jahi?"

She turned, looking me in my eyes, before practically purring "It's great, Kat."

I resumed washing her hair, before grabbing a bar of soap and hesitating. I turned towards the Marquess, watching as she scrubbed her dark sapphire skin with the soap, before doing the same, albeit hesitantly, with Jahi. Carefully, and gently, I rubbed the bar over her, never reaching for areas that could be considered inappropriate. As I was lathering her with soap, the Marquess spoke up. "Kid, you gotta get used to this. You will be doing this often, and you can't just half-ass cleaning her. Jahi, get up. Let her clean you properly."

Jahi hummed in agreement before standing up and turning towards me. Smirking, she watched as my face turned crimson and averted my gaze. Closing my eyes, I started doing my job again.

As if to confirm my thinking, a Quest popped up.

[Quest: Wash Jahi Asmodia

Reward - 25xp

Additional Reward: Please Jahi Asmodia - 25xp]

'When you say 'Please Jahi', you don't mean like... please please her, do you?'

[Negative. Pleasing her means making sure she is satisfied. If it was anything sexual, the quest prompt would let you know.]

'Phew, good. Real good.'

I started gently scrubbing Jahi, still avoiding inappropriate spots but getting the rest of her body. When I was about to be finished, and hand her the bar of soap, she stopped me.

"Kat, you didn't wash these spots!"

Saying that, she directed my attention to the two areas I had avoided; her chest and her crotch. Going crimson again, I looked to the Marquess for help. She raised her eyebrow at me. "You're a dirty kid, huh? Nothing wrong with cleaning you master. I'll do it today, but you need to get used to it. You two will be together for life."

She stood up and took the soap from my hands, and much to the chagrin of Jahi, started rubbing the soap over those areas. When she finished, she turned the shower on and washed the soap off Jahi and herself. When she finished, an evil grin appeared on her face.

"Jahi, be a dear and wash Kat. I don't know if she can do it herself."

When those words left her mouth, Jahi had a similar evil grin, before she quickly pushed me towards the seat. Feeling her rest her chin on my head, I heard her whisper "You're mine now, Kat!" before chuckling.

To my surprise, she gently ran her hands around my scalp, before combing through my hair. When she had made me think that I had just misheard her, she started blowing into my ears before she started to comb her hands through my tail, sending a jolt up my spine.

Hearing the Marquess laughing, I glared in her direction, but before I could get my glare across, Jahi blew in my ear again.

I didn't even notice that she had started scrubbing me with the soap, and was actually avoiding my chest and groin, just like I had done to her. When she was done, she turned the shower on and rinsed me off. Glaring at her and the Marquess, both of whom were laughing at me, I followed them into the large bath, sitting a bit away from Jahi, refusing to look at her.

[Quest Completed.

Quest: Wash Jahi Asmodia, Please Jahi Asmodia.

Reward - 50xp]

[Level 3 - (275/225)] pan(da-n0vel.c)om

[Would you like to level up? Y/N]

'Yes...'

[Level 3 -> Level 4 (50/337.5)]

[Would you like to assign the stat point?]

'No, I'll save it for when I get another. After all, I have half of my actual stats. I don't really need a half point in a stat, and I like even numbers.'

[Fair.]

Hearing the sound of water rippling, I looked over to see Jahi staring at me, slight worry on her face. "Kat, are... are you ok?"

I stared at her before nodding.

'Everything that just happened made me forget. She really is just a kid.'

"Yes, I'm fine, Jahi."

She smiled at me, before sitting next to me, leaning her head on my shoulder. I stiffened, but when nothing happened, I relaxed and just sat in the bath, enjoying the soothing warm water.

Hearing the Marquess sigh, I glanced over at her. Feeling my gaze, she looked at me, giving me a slight smile. "Never thought I'd be jealous of a kid. I'm over here all alone, while my daughter has her cute maid to lean on. Maybe I should have insisted Ria stay home..."

Jahi laughed, before standing up and walking over to her mother, wrapping her arms around her mother. "Happy now?"

Like that, time passed in the bath. The Marquess and Jahi bickered, sometimes asking for my opinion on stuff. After having me sufficiently embarrassed after being asked who I thought was better looking, we exited the bath, where three pairs of clothes were laid on the bed, our old clothes gone. Quickly pulling my dress over my head, I grabbed Jahi's dress before helping her into it. When I finished that, I moved to try and help the Marquess, somehow forgetting she was over seven feet tall and that her clothes were quite large. She chuckled watching me struggling to figure out which end of the shirt was which, before she took it from my hands and put it on.

"Run along now you two. If you are leaving the castle, I want you out in the garden below our room. Understand me, you little demon?"

The Marquess was glaring at Jahi, who was returning her glare. With a 'Hmph!" Jahi grabbed my hand and led me out into the main room. She walked over to one of the many shelves in the room and grabbed a book, before going to sit on one of the couches. Patting the space next to her, I slowly sat next to her. When she opened the book, I groaned when I saw it was all runes. I had hoped that maybe, just maybe, it would be in my native tongue. After all, whenever. I read those isekai novels, the language was either innately learned by the protagonist, or was their native language. But it seems that is not the case here.

"Kat, can you read?"

Shaking my head, I saw her grin widely at me.

"Let me teach you!"

What followed was a few hours of her going over the runes, explaining how they are pronounced. I realized that they are just like the English language, with the same amount of 'letters' and same pronunciation, just different written form.

Seeing Jahi trying to earnestly teach me, the Marquess gave her a blank diary and a pen, telling her to show me and let me try for myself.

Another hour or so passed, and my head was hurting. Seeing how I was swaying and rubbing my eyes, the Marquess snatched the book from Jahi. "Look at her, she can't keep up. You gotta slow it down, do it piece by piece, not all in one sitting. Make sense?"

Jahi looked over at me, and seeing my drooping eyes, pursed her lips. Sighing, she said "Fine. I'm hungry, are we eating now or waiting for Mother to come home with Miss Julie?"

The Marquess narrowed her eyes, looking at a clock on the wall.

"It's almost seven. Let's eat now. They might not even be home tonight."

Jahi squeezed my hand, before leading me towards the door. Honestly, from that point on I struggled to keep my eyes open. It reminded me of how dead tired I used to be cramming the night before a test, hoping that some of the knowledge in my numerous textbooks and notebooks would stick. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

I closed my eyes briefly, and next thing I knew I was in the kitchen. I could hear Jahi talking, and I was giving half answers and grumbles, before suddenly a plate of sausage and fresh bread was placed in front of me. Without any civility, I started devouring the meal, not even registering what I was eating. I just knew it was good. After my plate was empty, I somehow managed to stumble back to my room, probably due to Jahi's help. Before I could register anything, she had dragged my dress off and put a chemise on me, before tucking me into my bed. Then I passed out.
