Chapter 1527: Chapter 1526: Up And Running

“Y’know… Now that I think about it, this is kinda the dream, isn’t it?”

Propping myself up on the comfy chair that Jahi had dragged in recently, I grinned at the Cimeriesa that was hammering away not that far from me, before turning to look towards Leone, who was currently inspecting the various small tools I had made for her.

“This..? Oh, you mean having someone else do the work and you claiming part of it as ’yours’?”

The Vampire’s idle tone made me snicker as I sank back into the nice chair, enjoying the warm leather and immaculate cushioning while I awaited the praise for my incredible work, which I knew was going to be coming sometime soon…

Try as she might, the Vampire could never disparage any of my work, least of all for simple tools like these different stirring rods, tongs, and various metal stands to hold her glassware while I also dabbled a little in said glassware, though I will admit they need a lot of improving.

“Well listen, I might not be over there swinging the hammer but I am the one who does all of the ratios for each alloy created, and I also design everything, so eat that! Hmph!”

The Vampire looked up from her three separate pairs of tongs and raised a brow at me, though after glancing back at the hard working Cimeriesa she just sighed and said “That… actually is a large amount of the work.”

“Your begrudging tone is noted but ignored for now. However… I have yet to hear a thank you? Unless of course you want to come over and give me a kiss instead~?”

“Anput, you are..!”

Giving me a ’glare’ that just made me grin, Leone huffed and shook her head as she began to gather up all of her things into her storage bracelet, saying “Thank you for the tools.” and giving me a ’wave’ as she marched out of the forge.

Being so easily dismissed would have usually pissed me off if it had been anyone else, but the privilege of being someone I was in love with gave the regal Vampire quite a bit of leeway to be as disrespectful as she wanted, and honestly… at this point I felt less like a Begum and more like a rich warrior wife.

Which was nice, because I could just lounge here and have someone else do the hard work while I watched, making me a good chunk of coin that would be split with two thirds coming back to me and the remaining third filling this Cimeriesa’s pockets.

“Lady Anput, might I ask if you could get the next alloy ratio ready, specifically for the battle axe that the Boarkin man wanted? I think the hunters are heading out tomorrow morn, so I would like to get them prepared…”

“Aye aye, it’ll get done Beiru. Hah… I just got done gettin’ a half dozen ratios ready for tomorrow, and now you want me to do even more…”

The hammering washed my grumblings away, so Beiru didn’t hear anything I said – or if she did she just ignored me – which made me continue grumbling as I walked around and picked up the various materials I was going to need for this.

Esme continued to wheel in the various kegs she was going to be working with, Jasper lending her a hand and constantly chatting to her about something or other, which at first made me worried that the blue skinned man was going to try and have a go at the Dogkin, but thankfully they just seemed to be sharing stories and nothing more.

Not that I had anything against the idea of my workers mingling with one another, but it was also one of those things that was most certainly considered a slippery slope since it could very quickly lead to some schisms between people…

That was a future problem though, and considering what sort of place this was I was most likely going to just employ some light potions, liquor and push ’em into a room and let it work itself out if need be, otherwise I would just tell them to stay away from one another whilst they work.

Speaking of, Cori was bouncing around making sure everything was clean while Yue continued to work on the pole and stage, getting everything situated perfectly for herself while also occasionally ’kicking’ the Goblin away.

Cori had heard about Yue’s third leg and was apparently really interested in it, while the Elf just seemed to be someone who wanted nothing to do with intimacy unless it earned her something, so the two were sort of like oil and water…

Well, Cori was always talking loudly and bouncing around while Yue was quiet and reserved, so they really were like oil and water… though honestly just watching their ’argument’ was amusing, and neither seemed to take it personally enough.

Those were the original four that I had hired, and over these quiet few days I had nabbed myself another worker, albeit one that was a… little questionable; an older farmer that was a widow had approached me first, and after explaining everything she sort of just seemed to be too good of a fit to care about the age.

She could still carry heavy things, was light on her feet, had a nice voice and was really nice to talk to, especially with that grandmotherly aura she had around herself; the neat grey bun and sun kissed wrinkles made her age apparent, but she was still quite gorgeous…

Plus she was another Caninekin with a really bushy tail, so to me it just seemed like a perfect fit for this Lounge of mine… and honestly, while everyone loved milfs I knew there were going to be some ’refined’ tastes passing through here that could appreciate a good gilf, and Connie fit that bill to a tee.

So with five workers I was feeling quite good about everything, and with a limited number of patrons I could definitely operate quite well for a handful of hours to test things out, something that seemed like a great idea after being so ’cooped up’ after learning I was pregnant.

Not having Jahi fluttering around me was nice, though even though I was thankful the Demoness was doing her own thing a small part of me missed the constant presence of my big blue oaf, especially since I had managed to slowly whip her back into something that was reminiscent of what she had been a week ago.
