Looking at Jasmine, I gently rubbed my ears, figuring I'd heard her wrong. "Sorry, can you repeat that, Jasmine?" Faintly smiling at her, she stepped forward and pressed her finger against my head with a firm expression. "Let me join the Apostles." Said Jasmine sternly while I lightly nodded, realizing there was nothing wrong with me, only to furiously shake my head. "Yeah, fuck no." "Eh, w-why!?" "Well, for starters, you're a princess who probably hasn't fought anything, and secondly, you're living with us so I can protect you." Standing up, I grabbed Jasmine's finger and pushed her hand aside before pressing my finger into her head, forcing her onto her bed.
"W-While I appreciate you taking on that role, Alex, I'm not here for you to protect me; I'm here to avoid the Church of Junsuina." Said Jasmine lightly as she looked up at me in slight embarrassment, only for her to shake her head as she grabbed my wrist. "Me being a princess has nothing to do with you refusing me; I've befriended everyone in this house, and if possible, I'd wish to help them. If you let me join you, I can help heal from a distance and even boost everyone's strength with my blessings!" Said Jasmine passionately as she firmly gripped my wrist, refusing to let go while lightly nodding.
Now that she mentioned it, it was true she'd offer an immense amount of help to us when taking jobs and raiding the dungeon; I've been blessed by Jasmine before, so I know just how strong her blessings are, not to mention her healing, which was just as potent. Still, I didn't like the thought of her officially joining us; it was dangerous, and it would change the whole group dynamic, as we'd be forced to protect ourselves and Jasmine. "I still don't think it's a good idea, Jasmine–" "But with me present, you won't need to constantly risk using your blood so often!" Unlike her other statements, this one really struck deep, as the risk of my blood being exposed was massive.
"Ugh, l-let me think for a few days, Jasmine." Groaning, I sighed in defeat and reluctantly nodded, causing Jasmine to leap off her bed as she hugged me in joy, though not even a gorgeous woman hugging me could uplift my mood; once she finally stopped hugging me, she pulled me down and kissed my cheek. "I'll be the best thing that ever happened to the Apostles; I promise, I will!" Said Jasmine excitedly as she released my arm while I lightly nodded before turning around. "G-Good night." Waving my hand slightly, I left Jasmine's room and closed the door behind me, heaving a deep sigh in defeat before approaching Vanye's room.
Unceremoniously entering Vanye's room, she didn't even look up at me as she cleaned her blade; crawling onto her bed, I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her into my embrace. "I wasn't finished maintaining my sword." Said Vanye in slight annoyance as she looked at me, prompting me to brush aside her long, flowing red hair. "You'll be fine, Vanye." With a huff, Vanye stood up on the bed, placing her sword directly above her headboard before rolling me onto my back and mounting me.
"What happened? You look to be in a depressed mood." Asked Vanye curiously as she slowly trailed her hands underneath my shirt, feeling my muscular body while I wryly smiled. "Ah, I wouldn't quite say depressed, more so just defeated… I'd rather not talk about it right now; I'd prefer letting you uplift my mood." Faintly smiling at Vanye, I helped her remove my shirt. "Hmph, what is that supposed to mean?" Asked Vanye with a faint blush as she eyed me, though even so, her hands didn't stop rubbing my body; she seemed to enjoy feeling my muscles. Softly chuckling, I shook my head but didn't bother to explain, causing her to snort as she leaned closer, prompting me to gently grab her butt as we kissed.
After taking our sweet time kissing, we finally separated, creating a string of saliva between us. "Since I'm feeling rather depressed, think you can do THAT for me?" With a pouting expression, I looked at Vanye, who blushed at my words, and although it looked like she was about to decline, she bit her lip and faintly nodded. Sliding down my body, Vanye sat on her knees and removed my pants, freeing my manhood while her blush slightly deepened at its sight. With a nervous gaze, Vanye gripped my shaft with her hand and began stroking, causing me to groan softly in pleasure.
Considering this was only Vanye's second time doing this, she was very awkward and wasn't that good, but to keep her confidence from further plummeting, I had to sell her actions with a bit of extra fake groans, which worked, but it wasn't like she got any better from it. "W-Why don't you try two hands, Vanye?" "S-Shut up!" Said Vanye with a blush as she snapped at me, causing me to chuckle lightly as I raised my arms, though, despite her response, she eventually used both hands. 'Woah, that's cold!' Inhaling a sharp breath of air at how cold Vanye's prosthetic hand was, I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the casual stroking of my cock that made me think it was some kind of therapy session.
'Heh, if I say that, I guarantee she won't do this again for at least a month.' Holding my comment, lest I wish to risk getting stabbed through, I spent the next several minutes enjoying Vanye's, honestly, pathetic handjob before eventually cumming as I released numerous thick ropes of my seed all over her. "~Urgh~ y-yeah, that felt wonderful." Sighing in relief, I glanced at Vanye, who was covered in my sticky semen, causing me to faintly chuckle as I grabbed a rag and helped wipe her down while she gave me an annoyed look. However, once she was clean, I picked her up, tossed her onto the bed, removed her clothes, and lay beside her.
"Allow me to return the gesture." Faintly smiling, I sealed Vanye's mouth with my own and stuck two of my fingers inside her crotch, causing her to faintly moan while I didn't hold back and went to town on her for hours before we eventually fell asleep within each other's embrace.

The next few days, we stayed at home, taking it easy after that brutal dungeon raid; I went on a date with Michelle during that time, and let's just say we both returned extremely satisfied. By the third day, we took a quest for a company that involved protecting precious cargo during its transport to a neighboring city, so we'd probably be gone for about a week.
"What is taking Talis so long?" Asked Yuki with a slight frown as she leaned against the wall with a slightly annoyed expression, causing Vanye to scoff. "Hmph, she and Vanimo stayed up all night in their room doing you know what." Said Vanye, causing Yuki to click her tongue while I used our extra time to continue making out with Michelle on the couch. "Can you not make up with my mom before me?" Said Chloe, causing Michelle and I to stop as we looked at her. "You can just look the other way, you know." Smirking at Chloe, I continued making out with Michelle, who responded as if I'd been starving her of my love.
However, we only had to wait a few more minutes before we heard someone walking up the stairs, prompting me to reluctantly separate myself from Michelle as I placed her on the couch. "Wait for me." Whispering into Michelle's ear, I rubbed Chloe's head and glanced at Talis, only to briefly freeze when I saw Jasmine. "Um, what are you doing wearing that, Jasmine?" Gazing upon Jasmine's knightly armor covering her body from head to toe, she donned her helmet and lifted the face plate, allowing us to see her eyes. "I'm joining you." Jasmine said confidently as she hit her chest.
"Um, but I never said you could." "Lazuli, Yuki, Vanye, and Talis said I could all join." Hearing Jasmine, I turned and glanced at the three standing beside the door, awaiting them to elaborate. "Huh, oh yeah, she asked, and I said yes… I mean, I heard she can heal AND enhance our strength; I see no reason to refuse her." Yuki stated lightly as she shrugged her shoulders, causing my face to twitch. "What about you two? Do you both feel the same as Yuki?" Glancing between Vanye and Lazuli, they looked at each other before nodding at me a second later, causing me to shift my focus to Jasmine.
In the end, I heaved a deep sigh before lightly nodding; I may have been the man of the house, so while my words may carry more weight, it wasn't enough to veto Yuki, Vanye, and Lazuli. "Haa, you can join us-" "YEAH!!! I promise you won't regret this!" Jasmine yelled as she leaped onto me, causing me to fall to the ground while I internally sighed. "Alright, I'm here!" Said Talis as she arrived beside me.
