Mystical Fencer

*** 3rd person POV, Manfred Balzac's study, several months later ****

*Knock* *Knock*

"Lord Balzac, may I come in?"

"Come in Sebastian."

Sebastian quickly entered the room and spoke.

"I apologize for interrupting you, but you have a visitor, Lord Balzac."

"Who is it, Sebastian?"

"Baron Sulywan. He wants to speak to you about your son!"

The man sitting behind the table with several big piles of papers and scrolls around him sighed.

"And here we go again. I had a feeling it won't last. What did he do this time?"

"If I may be so bold Lord Balzac, I think you wronged your son just now."

"Why do you think so Sebastian?"

"Baron Sulywan is calm and seems to be in good mood. Plus, your son deserves a little of your trust and good will after changing so much don't you think so!"

Man sighed once again.

"You are right Sebastian, I should not judge Vic before I know what is going on, he has been a good son to me lately, I need to be a good father to him! Bring in the Baron Sulywan, I am curious what he wants to talk about."

"As you wish my Lord." Spoke Sebastian and left the room.

Several minutes later he led in a man, about the Duke Balzac's age. He was dressed in light brown suit he had short almond hair and an average build. The newcomer bowed a little towards the duke and spoke.

"My apologies duke Balzac for coming here unannounced and thank you for meeting me."

"Greetings Baron Sulywan! What brings you here?" Duke spoke as he pointed towards the chair motioning for the baron to sit down.

Baron quickly sat down and spoke. "I came here to make sure there is no problem brewing. I am sure you know that my daughter works with your son several months now."

Duke nodded. "Yes! That grand party gig they started. I heard they are doing very well for themselves."

Baron also nodded as he spoke. "Yes, their business is booming but that is not the reason why I came. You see my daughter developed something of a crush on your son and I came here to make sure that it is not a problem. You know there are three girls outside of my Trish around him, I would not mind the two of them but Elizabeth Duchell, daughter of marquess Duchell. That one worries me. Plus, there is a thing that I am just a baron and you are duke. So, I came to ask you for permission for my daughter to start working her womanly magic on your son."

Duke chuckled. "Regarding the Duchell girl, you have nothing to worry about for now. The girl is very much into my son but she is a klutz and my son won't ever go after her due to an incident they had in past, the one he apologized for so profusely at his party. After what happened, he just can't see her as a romantic interest. As for the baron thing, don't worry about it. My primary concern is my boy's happiness so if he is going to be willing to be with your daughter I am all for it. But let me warn you, the two girls you dismissed at the start. Don't try anything on them! My son really likes them, messing around with them would make him really angry."

Baron just raised his hands up into the air and spoke. "You don't have to worry about that. My daughter really likes them and has a good relationship with them. She would even welcome them in the picture. You know how men have issues with their libido that grows with their mana. She knows that your son has plenty of mana and she didn't even dreamed about being able to cover all that work alone. The only issue was the Duchell girl. You see my daughter wants to be the main wife, at least on paper. And next to Duchell girl that would not be possible."

Duke nodded satisfied. "Honestly, I don't mind your daughter dukeing it out fairly for my son with her. I would be annoyed if somebody started messing with daughter of my friend but fair fight for the heart of my son is fine."

Baron nodded. "Understood!"

*** MC POV, Balzac's family mansion in capitol, Victor's chambers ****

"Yuki, Rina we have to go. We have a meeting with Trish; we need to speak about business."

"Fine let's go then!" Yuki spoke and stood up from the couch we were sitting on. To be more precise, I was sitting and both Yuki and Rina were cuddling into me, dragging my hands all over their bodies and sucking on my fingers.

Some time ago my father asked me to bring them to his study and he pretty much told them that he considers them my fiancées and the moment I will decide to make it official they will sign the papers and become my future second and third wives.

This made them pull out all the stops, they really stopped to be subtle in any way and according to Yuki's words. The are just waiting until I won't be able to hold back. And they are right, it is starting to be increasingly harder to not jump them. Maybe it's just some kind of holdover from my previous life, I still feel like I should not be having sex this young. Even it is perfectly normal in this world. Plus there is more, it's like this body is holding me back a little, it's like it is refusing to let me to jump into relationship. For now I decided to not dwell on it too much, it's helping to wait a little more for now, but sooner or later if I want to be with Yuki and Rina I will have to delve into memories of this body and settle whatever crap is looming there.

Soon after Yuki stood up, Rina did the same and we left the mansion. We headed towards the house our grand party was renting. We were renting three buildings, two served as housing for our workforce and the last one was our headquarters. This was where the magic happened and also place where we were going right now.

As we arrived, we were led to a meeting room where we found Trish already waiting for us. The moment she spotted me she smiled stood up from the couch and spoke.

"Greetings Vic. Still as handsome as ever!"

"Hello Trish! You look fabulous today!"

The three of us sat down on the couch with Yuki cuddling into me from the right and Rina from left. Trish picked up a stack of papers and was about to hand them over to me when girls grabbed her and pulled her in to sit on my lap.

"Don't be shy!" Spoke Yuki.

"Come on! Join us!" Spoke Rina.

Trish blushed but didn't seem to be uncomfortable so I just ignored the situation and grabbed the papers she was handing to me and spoke to her.

"So, what have we here? It seems that both processing and guild handling parts of the grand party work perfectly, we seem to be still missing several more adventuring groups. Saying this you were able to hire a new group, and it was an already functional group from before. How come?"

I asked not seeing the details in the papers. Trish answered while leaning into my chest as she sat on my lap.

"You are not going to believe this. I was able to buy them out from slavery! They got sentenced to slavery after they killed a son of some baron that was trying to rape one of them. I bought them all and turned them into workers. Turned out perfectly, they were able to start accepting quests right next day!"

I smiled and patted her head without realizing. "Thanks that is awesome news!"

Realizing that I am patting her head I quickly pulled my hand back. After I did that, I scanned Trish for any signs of discomfort, but to my surprise what I came across was no discomfort, it was more of a disappointment as she spoke.

"I have one think I wanted to ask about."

"Ask away!"

"Well, you see rank of our grand party is soaring we are already A rank but the issue is that our workers are not raising in ranks. We are able to monitor their real ranks and give them work accordingly but according to the guild most of them are all still rank D."

I chuckled. "That's the point Trish! We want them to be rank D. Like that they won't rush to become free man that can grind A rank quests. That is also why I am picking quest for myself from the guild directly not from our headquarters."

Trish chuckled. "I haven't thought of that, perfect. Oh, and I have one more thing, father decided to let me go to Royal academy of fencing and mystical arts with you. But I will have to train a lot."

"I can help you train!"

Spoke Yuki right away. As she spoke the door to the room opened and the same person that led us in showed in Elizabeth. Combination of what she heard just now from Yuki and the scene of Trish sitting on my lap leaning into my chest was not very good for her. Since when she wanted to be trained by Yuki she was required to pay, and Yuki asked so much that not even her father was willing to pay. The moment she saw and heard that, tears appeared in her eyes. She turned away from the room without a word and started running away.

Seeing this I froze. I started quickly processing what just happened, realizing one very important thing. She had a crush on me. All those looks of annoyance when she saw me cuddling with girls. The way she looked at Trish, the way she spoke to Trish. The way she spoke to Yuki and Rina. Everything made sense now.

Next thing I did was that I set myself free and ran after her, wanting to have a talk with her.
