Goddess Kaleidoscope

But with so many women at home, and the temple needing someone to stay, some people definitely need to remain. Those who stay might complain if they're not there voluntarily. Thinking about it this way, things get a bit complicated.

After thinking for a long time, Ludwig suddenly had a good idea.

"Hmm! It seems it's time to evaluate the employees' performance!"

End of this chapter

Lude roughly counted the "employees" around him. Apart from Hume, who was currently away on a business trip, and the dragon girl Romian, who had not been brought into the core circle, the rest were Aina, Shanis, Fallen Leaf, Elaine, Hydra, and the three sisters. These eight were the ones who could be included in the evaluation.

As for the baby dragon Kanna, she certainly couldn't be considered an employee, but to call her a "pet"... Rud really didn't dare to have such a bold idea.

Therefore, if we were to really make a comparison, we would definitely have to choose from the eight mentioned above.

In terms of merit alone, although the three sisters joined the temple the latest, their contributions were undoubtedly the greatest. The large underground palace with a total area of ​​nearly 50,000 square meters beneath the temple was their masterpiece, not even counting the special tools they used.

It's no exaggeration to say that without the great help of the three sisters, many of the things Lud would have wanted to do would probably have remained just blueprints.

But if we're talking about seniority, then Aina, who's been with Lud for the longest time, is clearly number one. She was the first goddess Lud created himself! Furthermore, the temple's biggest source of income entirely depends on her big, watery eyes. It would be incredibly unfair of him to go out and have fun with money earned from her tears without taking her along.

While Lude was planning his trip, on the other side, in the enormous underground bathhouse, the girls in the temple were enjoying the newly opened "divine hot spring." Jade-like bodies lay sprawled in the steamy, warm water, and a black and white baby dragon floated on its back, resembling a contented sea otter.

"Phew! Taking a bath after work is so great!"

"It's a pity, if only Romianne could have come too. I really don't understand why Master kept it from her."

"What else could it be? I'm afraid she can't accept it! That girl is still a virgin who hasn't experienced anything. If you really let her know that the two senior sisters she spends every day with are the goddesses she worships, she might faint."

Inside the bathroom, Shanis, completely naked, sat with an air of authority, leaning against the edge of the bathtub. Beside her was Atropos, whom she had only known for a short time but with whom she shared a very similar taste. The two had become drinking buddies in private, and, relying on their goddess-like bodies, were fearless. They soaked in the hot spring while clinking glasses and exchanging drinks, and before long, they were both slightly tipsy.

The three sisters currently have no "public identity" within the temple. They spend their days in the ever-expanding basement, studying the blueprints given to them by Ludwig, building things that interest them, or continuing to expand and renovate the temple.

Through the sisters' continuous efforts, the basement first became an underground palace, and then it began to develop into an "underground city," with more and more facilities for living and enjoying life being added, and their sizes becoming ridiculously large.

This newly opened, enormous hot spring bathhouse has a gourd-shaped pool that covers over a thousand square meters and can easily accommodate several hundred people at once. On the day of its completion, the eldest sister, Atropos, even invited Lud to hold a mini ribbon-cutting ceremony. A large sign that read "Goddess Bathing Center" was erected at the entrance of the bathhouse, which Lud found full of flaws.

Although it is called the "Goddess Bathing Center", the bathroom is not only occupied by the five goddesses in the temple. The gatekeeper "Big Brother" Fallen Leaf and the snake maid Hydra are also there.

Fallen Leaf transformed back into her true form after a long absence, but as the only "flat-chested" among the eight women present, poor Fallen Leaf looked around and found that apart from the non-human Kanna, there was no one smaller than herself. Even her third sister, Lachesis, who also belonged to the loli category, had two small breasts on her chest that looked more substantial than her fried eggs.

This caused the fallen leaves, who had always been loyal to Hume, to feel a tiny bit of resentment towards the master who created them for the first time.

However, compared to Fallen Leaf, who was still heartbroken over her feelings, Hydra, who was still at the lowest level, was noticeably more reserved. She was curled up in an inconspicuous corner of the bathtub, wrapped in a towel; if it weren't for the fact that human form prevented her from doing so, she would have loved to curl up in a ball on the spot.

The poor snake girl knew that the five behind her were all goddesses, and she didn't know what the fallen leaves next to her were, but she figured they must be no ordinary nobody either. Among a group of big shots, she was the only newbie trembling in fear.

To be fair, the hot springs were quite comfortable for Hydra, who used to be a cold-blooded snake. However, she couldn't fully enjoy the environment and was only thinking about sneaking away quietly after all the big shots had finished bathing and left.

However, just when Snake Girl thought that as long as she kept quiet, she would not attract the attention of others, two figures exuding a slight smell of alcohol suddenly approached her from behind and then suddenly surrounded her.

"Hey! What are you doing hiding here all by yourself?"

"Don't be so shy, come on, let's have a drink!"

"Two, two, two adults!?"

The snake girl, suddenly surrounded, trembled and almost instinctively tried to escape, but unfortunately, she was in human form and therefore could not move at all.

The two mature goddesses, reeking of alcohol, had slightly flushed cheeks that exuded both seductive charm and a hint of lewdness, as they were leered at the snake girl's "outrageous" human body with ill intent.

Despite her current lowly position in the temple, Snake Girl possesses the most outrageous bust size of all the girls. This new body given to her by her master initially made Snake Girl very uncomfortable. On the one hand, she admitted that her hands and feet were indeed more useful than her former big tail, but these two soft, bouncy, round, heavy objects on her chest seriously affected her sense of balance.

The two goddesses flanking the snake girl quickly noticed these two particularly prominent "key points." Shanis, who was holding her, chuckled and her right hand, which was wrapped around the snake girl's fair neck, restlessly slipped into the gap between the towel and her skin, pinching the tender tofu that was too big to be held in one hand.

Meanwhile, Atropos went even further. While trying to force the snake girl to drink, his restless left hand wrapped around her slender waist from underwater, and then strode into the dark triangle between her legs.

The snake girl, unable to move, felt like the prey she had once coiled around, a sense of impending doom gripping her. The others around her merely watched the spectacle, seemingly offering no assistance, which only intensified her despair.

"No, please don't do this! My lords, I... I still..."

Just as the snake girl was about to succumb, a cool "wind" suddenly drifted into the warm bath, and the ghost secretary, Elijah, passed directly through the ceiling and landed above the bathroom.

As soon as Elaine arrived, she shouted excitedly.

"Everyone, everyone! Listen to me! I just heard some great news from the High Priest... Waaaaah! What are you all doing?!"

End of this chapter

Elaine, who had come specifically to deliver the good news, saw someone openly "ghs" as soon as she entered the bathroom.

Hydra is flanked by two women, sandwiched between two "great" goddesses, their three white, fleshy bodies intertwined like snakes mating.

Such a sensual and taboo scene was far too stimulating for Elijah, who remained a virgin until her death. The female ghost instinctively covered her eyes, but the gap between her middle and ring fingers remained open. The pure little flower in her heart was unknowingly being tinged with a pale yellow.

Wow! They're so lecherous!

"Children should not watch this."

Inside the spacious bathroom, the three who looked the oldest were drinking and engaging in lesbian activities as if no one else was around. Aina and Croto, standing nearby, covered the eyes of Kanna and Lachesis, respectively, trying to preserve the innocence of the "children." Only Fallen Leaves was calmly soaking in the bath, exuding the composure of a seasoned veteran.

Perhaps realizing there were children present, or simply feeling the venue was unsuitable for action, Hydra was quickly coerced and dragged behind several artificial hills in the pool by the two lustful goddesses. These volcanic rocks then played a role they shouldn't have had.

Once the figures of those blatant lewd individuals had disappeared into the mist, Elijah then shared the good news she had just overheard with the others…

On the other side, Lud, having just finished his official duties, was preparing to leave his underground office and return to his bedroom in the surface temple to rest. He hadn't gone far when he heard a crying sound approaching from afar. A completely naked Hydra, swaying back and forth, dribbled a ball towards Lud at nearly seventy miles per hour.

Fortunately, Lude reacted quickly enough and instantly cast a "Shield Wall" spell on himself, which allowed him to withstand the snake woman's flesh-ball impact with his mortal body!

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

Looking at the snake girl who rushed into his arms with tears streaming down her face, Lude was completely dumbfounded. When he looked down, all he could see was a large expanse of wet, snow-white skin, which smelled faintly of flowers (and soap), and smelled very pleasant.

At this moment, the snake girl raised her head from Lude's arms, her pretty face, streaked with tears, full of grievance, and she tearfully accused Lude of the "evil deeds" of certain people.

"They...they almost put it inside!"

"What the hell?"

Completely bewildered, Lud didn't know exactly what had happened to Hydra, but he had a vague idea of ​​who was bullying him.

The poor snake girl was clearly terrified, clinging tightly to Rude and refusing to let go, leaving Rude feeling both embarrassed and secretly pleased.

"Alright, alright! Calm down. This is a corridor. What kind of behavior is it for you to be naked like this? Put your clothes on first."

Since the Book of Ashes was not at hand, Rud could not immediately dispel Hydra's summoning and return her directly to the book. Therefore, he could only take off his outer robe and put it on her first.

Lud knew the three sisters had built a large bathroom, and today was its official opening day. He guessed that Hydra had been "harassed" by someone else while taking a bath, most likely Shanes. She might not be the only culprit, but she was definitely involved!

Although the Snake Girl was a former prisoner who had been "reformed," since she had already joined Lud's ranks and had previously done some "shady work" for him, namely, being a "good girl" who fought alongside him in the Pantheon, Lud could not allow such a malicious incident that undermined unity, such as "workplace bullying," to occur.

However, just as Ludger angrily led Hydra to the bathroom door, they saw everyone rushing out of the bathroom in a disheveled state. The three sisters who brought up the rear immediately blocked the door with their bare hands without saying a word, and then used their divine power to modify the terrain to reinforce and seal the door shut.

"What are you doing?"

"It's Senior Shanis, she's started acting crazy while drunk!"

"..."

As soon as the second sister Cloto finished speaking, a powerful thud echoed from the bathroom door. The imposing brass door bulged open, sending Cloto and her sister Lachesis flying.

This tomboy goddess, whose figure rivals that of her older sister Atropos, is currently wearing a nun's habit, which seems to be Aina's. It looks like it covers her up quite well, but because she is wet, the thin fabric of the nun's habit clings to her skin, creating an effect similar to a tight-fitting latex suit, making her look even more sexy than being completely naked.

Meanwhile, the eldest sister, Atropos, was already delirious. She had been dragged out by her third sister, Lachesis, and was left there like a piece of "recyclable trash." She was only covered by a towel, which barely covered her three vital points.

But the two sisters, still lucid, no longer cared about such trivial matters as being exposed. In order to seal off the "madwoman" inside the door, they used their divine power to "hand-craft" a furnace on the spot to reinforce the door that was about to be breached, leaving Lud dumbfounded.

Thanks to the two sisters' efforts, the door was not breached by the drunken Shanis, but it was completely ruined, covered with reinforcing steel bars in a haphazard manner, giving it a rather "green-skinned" look.

Such a thrilling scene left Lud, who had originally intended to confront everyone and give them a "united education," completely stunned, forgetting all his previous sermons.

Because of Shanis's sudden drunken outburst, the newly opened bathroom was "sealed" for two whole days, and it took another three days to repair and reinforce it afterwards.

Lud took the opportunity to issue a "prohibition order" to Shanis, and at the same time criticized and educated her and Atropos. Even if they meant it as a joke, they went too far. Who would use three fingers right off the bat?!

However, to Lu De's somewhat surprise, in the past, when he tried to lecture these inherently unruly goddesses, they would usually show strong resistance, and he would have to threaten them by cutting off their allowance and snacks.

But this time the situation was different. Whether they really took it to heart or not, at least their attitude was correct. Everyone, including Shanis, vowed to "turn over a new leaf" and never cause trouble for Ludshaji again. Even Kanna became more and more clingy, snuggling affectionately against Ludshaji's shoulder every day, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"Why are all these guys acting so strange?"

Unbeknownst to Lud, his impromptu travel plans had already been leaked, and everyone in the temple was eyeing the spots. But Elijah, who had only eavesdropped halfway, was even less aware that shortly after she quietly slipped out of the office to inform the others, Lud changed his mind, and the travel plans were temporarily postponed.

On the one hand, the time arrangement is still a bit tight, and with the current level of transportation, if you really want to go sightseeing on the West Coast, it would probably take more than a week just to make a round trip. Unless Ludwig is willing to trouble Nidhogg for such a thing, it would be a bit like he doesn't consider himself an outsider.

Moreover, Lude felt that going on a trip without bringing everyone along was really not conducive to internal unity, so it would be better to wait until there was more time and conditions before going out for a proper trip.

Lude thought that since he hadn't announced the plan to the public yet, he could just pretend nothing had happened as long as he didn't say anything.

However, the "leak" was an accident. Lude trusted Eliven very much. This kind-hearted ghost secretary was very useful in every sense of the word. In addition, since she was a ghost, there were very few people in society who could accept her existence like Lude did. Lude believed that she would not betray him for any reason.

In fact, Elijah never intended to betray Lud. She simply leaked the information about the travel plans to members of the temple.

It's like a student passing by the cafeteria and smelling the aroma of braised pork wafting from the kitchen, then excitedly running back to the classroom to share the good news with their classmates.

Thus, without Lud's knowledge, the goddess ladies in the temple began a round of open and covert struggles for the limited spots!

End of this chapter

A week after the mass poisoning incident was resolved, the state of emergency in Pine Tree Village was officially lifted. The dwarves continued to build bridges and roads, and the farmers continued to cultivate the land. It seemed that everything had returned to normal.

But Lud still felt that something was not right, and this unease was not outside, but rather inside the temple, right next to him... less than a meter away.

"Master, have some tea!"

"Master, let me cut the fruit for you!"

"Oh……"

Inside the temple's office, Ludwig, engrossed in reviewing documents, didn't even look up, flanked by two "beloved disciples" attending to him attentively. Anyone unaware of the situation would likely have been completely captivated by the allure of the beautiful young women surrounding him, but Ludwig remained calm and unmoved.

As the old saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves!"

Based on Ludwig's life experience, sudden excessive concern often means that someone wants something in return. He was "been there" in this regard; when he was a child, he and his brother conspired to stage a "filial son washing feet" scene to get money from their elderly father to buy toys.

As a result, the father saw through his two little devils' tricks at a glance. After enjoying his sons' foot-washing service with a clear conscience, he told the two brothers a cruel and helpless truth.

"My silly son, your old mother is in charge of the money in our family!"
