Love after Death in a New World Pt. 05

Life after Death in a New World PT5

----------------------

It was still early when I was woken up by the feeling of something landing on top of me. My only thought was, with my eyes still closed, what or whoever was on top of me was warm and smelled nice. Something in me questioned if it was a good idea even to open my eyes. What if it was someone here to attack me? After the old dwarf's death last night, I was not sure if I was even safe, even if I did have Astra and her sisters here with me. Just then, I felt it, I was sure it was a warm, full pair of lips pressing against my cheek. That was when I opened my eyes, and there she was, Alice, there on top of me and nude.

"I just want to come by and thank you for giving me such a lovely name," she said.

Then she continued, "You were so busy last night with your walk with Zoe. On top of it all, it sounds like you have a full day ahead. I thought I'd come to show my appreciation now."

Alice bent down and kissed me on the lips and slipped her tongue right into my mouth. It was much more than I expected. Just from yesterday, I thought the Milkmaids wouldn't even be sexually aroused easily, let alone by me. Her kiss had done the job for me, I was not only fully awake now but fully erect as well. Pulling the cover back, Alice shifted her hip, mounting herself on top of me. She was already wet as I slid inside of her.

She had just fully finished mounting me when she rocked her hips forward, pushing most of me into her. I could see the smile on her face as she took more of me in. I could feel my balls tighten as she rode me hard. I reach up and grab her tits that were soft and even with a little presser had milk coming out of them. She leaned down and put one in my mouth. It was sweet, and my body felt better. When she leaned back up, she pushed herself down on me, taking me fully inside of her. The pleasure she had millked my cock with her pussy trying to get me to explode inside of her.

I had no more than almost finished when I heard my door open. It was Sarah who stood in my doorway with an upset look on her face.

"Alice, what did I tell you about coming up here and waking him? What did I tell you about leaving him alone? You can't force yourself on him. You have got to give him time to get to know you first. Now go back downstairs and get ready for today. While you're at it, I'm sure we need some milk for breakfast, so why not produce some for him and the rest of us here? That will be a way you can show him your appreciation right now," Sarah told Alice in a harsh tone.

With an embarrassed look, Alice dismounted me. When she got to the door, she looked back at us, Alice said, "You know that you could at least let me finish showing my worth to him before you sent me away."

Once she left the room, Sarah closed the door after making sure that Alice was gone.

"Poor girl, I thought she would pull a stunt like that. I noticed she was missing when I woke up, you find that we tend to get up early in the morning. She just worried that if she didn't take care of you, there was a chance you would send her back. She was always looked down on back at stalls by stall masters. She was starting to worry she would be sent off to be sold at the slaughterhouse. Milkmaid meat is a delicacy to nobles in this world, since very few of us are ever sold for food, since most people think our meat is taboo. They kept me around for so long to take care of all the young ones whose mothers had been sold, but they just kept her for her willingness to do whatever they wanted sexually. Milkmaids are normally only turned on when taken care of. It was part of our design when they made us long ago, but it never happened to us back at the stall. Now, Alice, well, from the first moment she was sexually used, she had the urge to please anyone who is in a position of power over us, no matter who it was. I think it is self-preservation that makes her like that. One of the stall masters said it had to be part of her birth defect, well, that and her dark skin. Most of them even thought she was sterile at this point as well. They said the only good thing about her, other than her sex drive, was her high milk production. Just so you know, if you want Alice, I will not stop you, but it is your choice, and please be gentle with her. I know, talking to her last night, that she thinks you're cute," Sarah commented about Alice.

Hear what I did. I felt awful for Alice as well as for Sarah. I could understand why she did it, and to be honest, I was enjoying where she was taking it, but it would have been wrong to continue as well. It sounded like that terrible life from the moment they were born, I mean all Milkmaids, from not knowing if their mother would be coming back to them, to being sexually assaulted by their stall masters, and then not knowing when or if they will be sold and to whom. I knew then I had to make sure to keep them safe, just like the centaur ladies. This went for whoever else I was to get as well, no matter how long I was here for.

While I was starting to enjoy this new world so far, I did hope Tera and Shin could find how to fix me here soon. That led to another issue. If I did return to my world, who would take care of my farm till I return here? It was not like I knew how long it would be before I returned once I left. It was something I would need to talk to May about, but I also knew she was still sleeping since she was not a morning person. I figured I could bring it up to her later in our daily wrap meeting, but now I guess I need to find out who was all up and go from there.

"Sarah, I might as well get the day started since I am up now. Do we have anything for breakfast for everyone? Is there anything you might need from me?" I asked Sarah.

"May got the supplies for us to cook breakfast for everyone. It's not much, but hopefully, it will be to everyone's liking. She said it should be a busy day, so not to start with anything too big. All of us Milkmaids can do basic cooking, which is one of the few skills they would teach us. They say it has made us more profitable on the market. As far as needs, we should be good for now for the next day or two, but in the long term, we need supplies till we can grow most of it on our own. When May wakes up, I am planning on going over what will be all on the farm as well. Some of the shops here might deliver the supplies we need to your new farm, but if not, we need to figure out what we will need to take with us," said Sarah.

If anything, I had learned about Sarah, it seems like she had picked up on how to be an assistant. I guess taking care of and training Milkmaids who have skills to help run a farm that you would learn a little extra. It was a load off my mind knowing someone could help in that area.

After she was done, she left, and I got up and dressed. I could hear from outside that the sound of the barn area was coming to life, which had to mean it was about time to go back to the stall area. Going downstairs, I could smell breakfast being cooked. From the smell, I could tell it would be delish, bacon and biscuits. Looking at the table, it also had fresh fruit and milk. At this point, I was interested in at least trying their milk. I wonder if it tasted like normal cow milk back home. It looked like Cora was also awake, as well as all the Milkmaids.

"Morning, everyone. I hope everyone slept well," I said aloud.

"Good morning, Sir. It has been a quiet night for the most part. Eliana will get up here soon to relieve me of my shift. My queen thought we should have someone on guard at all times after last night. She sleeping with my sisters in the stall. May and Runna are upstairs, each in their own room. With that, I was not sure what type of shape Miss May would be in. She came in around two with the help of a troll named Max. He left not long after helping me put Miss May in bed. He did say to tell her, 'She needs to come by and pay her tab. He was not putting it on your book." Cora told me.

Well, it sounds like someone had one last night. It did worry me if May would be down for most of the day or not. I had faith that Sarah and Astra could fill her place. If anything sounded like she had to square up with Max, I would hate to be on his bad side.

With that, I heard voices coming from the centaur stall. One of them said out loud, "I'm not sure who is cooking, but I am ready to eat!"

"I will second that," a voice from the stairs called out.

It was Runna coming down in shorts and a T-shirt. She looked different from last night, it looked like she was wearing light armor or so. She was almost busting out of her shirt now. It was in contrast to her ass, it was just a little more than bubble butt, but I was sure it would still make a nice place to lay my head on. She was a little taller than the old dwarf from last night, I say about 137cm or so.

Luckily, the table was quite large but just not big enough. Cora, Eliana, and Sophia had to hold their place since we had run out of table space. Once in our new house, I will need to make sure that the table is big enough for everyone. I have to say that May was right, the Milkmaid's milk was sweeter than normal cow milk in a good way. Some of the fruit here on the table this morning looked odd. One looked like an apple but was purple and had the strong flavor of peach and banana mixed with just a hint of the apple it looked like. Astra and Zoe seem to be eating a lot of that one, saying it was hard to find back where they were from. Eliana told me to be careful of small yellow and red berries. She was not wrong, I had never had a fruit that not only made my mouth feel like it was freezing but on fire at the same time.

We had all just finished up when May started coming downstairs. She looked worse for wear, dressed in a spaghetti-strap shirt with one side almost falling off and in a pair of boxers. Her hair was in a mess.

"You know, you could wake a girl up for breakfast. I mean, food is one of the best things for a hangover. I don't think we have anything here to make hair of a dog," May said while yawning. "We've got too much to do today for me to be stuck in bed. Sweet Milkmaid's milk will help for sure. Milkmaid's milk has small healing attributes, including against poison. It is funny that alcohol is considered a poison, even if we do willingly drink it. It will not save you if you're dying, but it will work for a small cut on your hand to heal."

She ate the rest of the biscuits and drank a full jug of milk, I take it, took that much to counteract that much alcohol in her system. I would say they did a great job on breakfast since nothing was left. Hopefully, dinner would be just as good. My wish for today was that it would be more relaxing, though I had a feeling it would still be a full day.

Taking the last bit of biscuit, May said, "Well, with all of us here, Ivan, we should talk about breaking into teams for today. I think you should take Astra and Sophia to the stall market to get some of the people we need. Astra can advise on any wild ones that she might have crossed before that you might look at, and it would be good for the two to work with Sophia. I will take Sarah and Zoe to look at the supplies we will need to start with on the farm. Sarah has a list of supplies that we came up with that we will need for the farm. Cora and the other Milkmaids will stay here. Cora will need some sleep after standing watch last night. Alice, I will leave you in charge here. Sarah said you could handle this place till we get back and can direct anyone who drops anything off for us. Lastly, Runna, go with Eliana. Both of you will need to go to Brokkr's old shop. There are a few items Runna will need to get."

Looking at Runna, May went, "I talked to one of my contacts in the police force who was there at the blacksmith shop last night before I went to Dance Pony. I will say, Runna, why did you not say that Brokkr was your master? That is a major loss to this world, he was the last master craftsman from olden times. There were a lot of us who thought he had gone off and died a long time ago. My contact did say that while they had no lead on who had done it, they had cleared you of his death. The barn master saw you heading this way and even saw Brokkr in the front window before coming back this way himself. Now Brokkr left a will that was found on his desk, and for most of his stuff, he wants to go to one of the new adventure guild. In it, he states that he was fond of it since it catered to younger adventurers. He also said what else was left belonged to you, including his hammer. "

With a tear in her eye, Runna told us, "Well, he was in hiding when I found him and begged him to make me his apprentice. He wanted me to hide his name and told me to call him old fart if anyone was around. He made sure I followed strict rules like that. He said I had to stay at the shop at all times unless told differently. Another of his rules was that any time he would send me out, which was not often, I had to stay covered at all times and talk to no one. I don't know all the details, but once he told me that he was in hiding from someone who wanted him dead. He told me that a deal from long ago had turned bad, but it was one of the few times he was ever drunk, so I didn't know if it was true or not. I guess after 50 years under him, I thought he was safe now, but I guess I was wrong. He kept trying to push me to leave as of late, saying I was ready to find my place in the world. Makes me wonder if he knew someone was coming for him."

I could tell this had hit her deeply. I was not sure how long dwarfs lived, but 50 years in anyone's lifetime is still a good amount. At some point, I would need to sit down and talk to her about all of this and learn more about her, but I figured if May said this was the best way for today, then I would follow her lead and give Runna some space. This Brokkr sounded like he was a big deal at some point. It was a relief that Runna had already been clear of his death. At least we didn't have to deal with that.

After breakfast, most of the girls had to go get ready for the day, so I went back to my room till Astra and Sophia were ready to go. If anything, it was a good time to go over my skills and see if anything had changed at all. Lying on the bed, I closed my eyes and pulled open my skills. Looking only for ones that had changed.

Skill Fire Magic lv 2

The user can throw a small fireball up to 3m or heat up a small object. Lv. 2

I'm guessing heating that pizza was just enough to level up my Fire Magic, even if it didn't seem like it would do a whole lot. It was my other skill that seemed to get the boost from yesterday.

On top of it all, it looked like I had added one more. I could tell when I added it, even if it was not my goal, but I guess throwing that punch at that guy did me some good.

User can block a punch and can absorb X blowback lv 1 (3%)

I just hoped I wouldn't have to use the Fighter skill very often, if at all.

Just then, I notice Astra standing in my doorway. I'm not sure how long she had been there.

"Sorry, I just noticed how peaceful you looked there. Though I did think about joining you there, I also know we have things to do as well. Maybe here later, talking to Zoe, it seems she quite enjoyed her walk with you. Something about a carriage ride at the end, or so. I say it also might pique Cora and Eliana's interest as well, but that is to be understood since they both want to serve their master willingly after hearing what you did for Zoe. I will say you have some work ahead of you with Sophia. She still has some reservations about you and your plans for us. Many of our other sisters were taken before us, which is why we were in a party size when we were captured. I guess numbers didn't help us. Sophia's actual sister was taken about a week before we were. It was truly a loss for our tribe, and she was shaken to her core. With her being taken, this has hardened her heart," said Astra.

Just from what Astra committed about Sophia, it would take some time to win her over. I'm guessing that Cora and Eliana, hearing that I saved Zoe, must have had a change in how they feel about me. It was a little shocking that they were interested in me sexually now as well. The only thing I could think of was that since they were from an all-female tribe, they might be like Amazonians who needed to mate with strong males. It would also explain part of Zoe's actions last night, but Amazonians killed their mates when done. All Zoe wanted to do was cuddle to the point her body forced her transformation, which kind of counteracted that theory.

Once we left my room and got to the end of the stairs, Sophia was ready with her new short sword on her side and breastplate armor as well. She didn't seem thrilled to be waiting for us.

"My queen, did he touch you up there? I swear if you put a hand on my queen, I will gut you as one does with a goblin, clean out one of their nest in a cave," Sophia said as she put her hand on her sword.

"Sophia, you will stand down now! He is now your master, as are the rest of your sisters here and back at home, if unbeknownst to them. I did the bend right in front of you, so you have to honor it. Any more hostility, and you will be punished by me. Now, you have to keep your emotions in check for today. That is why I asked May last night when we talked to have you go with Ivan and me. The queen's guard must show restraint at times, even when they want to take action. This is your training today," Astra stated.

It amazes me even now that Astra was trying to train Sophia in the environment they were in now. It showed me what type of queen Astra was, always thinking of bettering her people.

On our way to the stall area, the barn master stopped us.

"Morning. I see you're starting your day early. May told me you were looking to get some more livestock today and maybe tomorrow. Well, if I can give advice, new elves came in this morning. While they have a few nice wood elves, they also have a dark elf with them. They are rare around here and not great with farm work, not the type sought after here. They are good with a wider range of combat magic and other skills. Someone like you might even be able to learn a thing or two from someone like that. I might add she was cute as well," The stale master said in a low, sweet voice.

That was something to think about, I mean, a dark elf. How would May feel about that? Do wood elves and dark elves even get along? As we walked away, what shocked me was what I heard. The barn master, who was friendly to us just now, was yelling.

"You jackass know I don't give out secrets of what product that stall masters will be selling today or in the next few. If you want to know what they got, go see for your damm self fuckers," yelled the barn master.

Walking into the stall market with Astra and Sophia with me seemed a little odd. Yesterday, I thought they were being sold, but now they were walking back in with me. Astra moved closer to me and grabbed my hand. Looking around, I finally saw the elves that the barn master was talking about.

Looking them over, they look different than May. They all seemed even leaner than her, like they were starved, and I was not sure if it was due to being captured or not, but their eyes were not as bright. The only thing else I noticed was that this stall only had six female elves in it.

Just then, a stall master yelled out, "Fresh elves, right from the wilds."

There were five of them brought in. They were all wood elves but one, with the last one being a dark elf, the barn master had told me about. I could hear the wood elves trying to talk to the ones already here, but they spoke not a word. From the way they acted, the ones here had lost their will to live to a degree. I felt pity for them. I could hear new ones talking to each other, and even as far as I was from them, I could hear the panic in their voice. The only one who quit was the dark elf. Even more than others, she seemed lost.

"They seem to be even more scared than when we got here. At least we are warriors and taught not to show or have fear, I don't think these girls were as lucky as that," Astra said.

Looking at her, I could see how she was different from May, even though both were elves. She has black hair, burnt ash-grey skin, and red eyes as bright as a ruby. I then went up and tried talking with her.

"Hi, what is your name?" I asked her.

There was just one issue: I could only make out part of what she said. It was the first time I didn't understand what someone was fully saying to the degree I could figure it out. I got that she said hi and sounded like Melian.

Just then, Astra, who was standing beside me, said, "She said hi, and her name is Melian. From the expression on your face, it looks like you didn't fully understand her. Most wouldn't have. She was speaking in Old Elvish, even most non-wild elves don't understand it nowadays. When I was younger, my mother made me and Zoe learn it. I don't think Zoe can even speak it fully, even if she does understand it. My mother made her take the same class as me to try to push me to be better. I am shocked they caught her. All the dark elves I have heard of live in Lost Garden in Shamim."

I took a few steps back, listening to Astra talk to Melian. It seemed like I started to understand them more as I listened. I was still not sure if I could talk to her. They talked about where she was from and how she got there. The wood elves that came with her started talking as well in the same language as them. With all of them talking, it sped up my understanding. One thing I took away was that they all seemed to get along, which helped me decide if I should get the dark elf. I had to say, looking at her more closely, she had much bigger breasts than wood elves. They were all about the same size as May, I wonder if that was a wood elf thing.

Just then, Sophia walked over to me and said, "You would have my queen do your job? What type of man are you?"

"Does your queen always cook? Does your queen do all the writing in your tribe?" I asked Sophia.

In an upset tone, Sophia stated, "No, she does not. What type of stupid question is that? Just what I thought, a man trying to push his duty off on my queen."

"Your queen lets the chef do the cooking because that is what she is best skilled at. The same goes for scholars with writing. Your queen is well-versed in ways of languages that I am still learning. Should I not use her skills to help better our group? Being in charge doesn't mean you have to do it; sometimes, it's knowing the right one in the group to be able to do it." I committed to Sophia.

Astra walked up as I finished my statement to Sophia.

"Truer words couldn't have been spoken just now. Sophia, remember, as you learn here today and going forward, do not burden yourself with everything but rely on the strength and knowledge of others around you. All these ladies are lovely, including the dark elf. After talking to them and looking over as you have, I would pick them to help with the farm. As sad as it is to say, I think the others here are too far gone to be truly helpful in the way I think you need them to be. They are all ready to leave asap and do what everyone asks of them. It seems their handlers were not much better than ours were. I promised that they would be safe with you and would have the protection of my sister and me as well." Astra said.

I asked why she thought that of the others. It seems odd that she wouldn't even give them a chance.

"Wood elves are sensitive creatures. Once they lose the will to live, it is not long before they die out like the ones here already have started to do. Even if you somehow bought all of them, I would be shocked if any of them made it very long at this point beyond these four, as sad as it is to say. It seems like from the way they talk, their tribe had gone from a couple of hundred elves to just a handful before they were captured. Now, as for the dark elf, it seems like it is unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She didn't want to give up too much, but I am sure there's more to her. She seems like a nice girl, very young for one of her races at just 45 years old. I kind of suspect she is out on a rite of passage. I have read that some dark elves, when they come of age, are sent on quests to show their worth to their tribe," Astra added.

Looking over the stall at the others. I know what Astra just said, but deep down, part of me said I had to try to save them. I know might upset some of them, but I couldn't feel like I had blood on my hands by leaving them behind to die here.

I talked to the stall master, he was willing to make a major deal on six. He said that he had a feeling they would start dying in the next day or two anyway, and wanted any coin he could for them. For that, he gave a small discount on the other five as well. It was a heavy cost, but I felt better knowing that I could hopefully save their lives. I just hope May won't get too mad about the express that I just had. He said he would have them delivered here in the next little while.

Astra had a slightly worried look on her face. I had to ask her what was wrong.

"Astra, what's wrong? You look like something is wrong." I asked her.

"I told you what I did to discourage you from getting those other girls, and you still got them. I just don't want you to overburden yourself, but I had a feeling you would still try to save them. Even in this little bit of time we know each other, you seem to have this need to save people if possible." Astra committed her thoughts about me.

She leaned over to hug me and kissed me on the cheek. I could see that Sophia was not as wild about what her queen had just done, rolling her eyes, but she didn't seem as mad as she had earlier.

Walking through the stall area, I wondered if I should try to get anyone else before I talked to May about our expresses so far. I know she had stated that I had enough to live well, but how much was that, and how much did I have left?

Lost in thought, the last person I thought I would run into was May. Zoe was pushing a cart full of supplies. I just hoped that, with the cart strapped to her, it would not hurt her. Sarah was sitting with May on a bench seat in front of the cart. It looked like they had been busy.

"Hello, ladies. I thought you would have been tied up longer getting supplies," I said

Looking at me, May said, "Oh well, Hannah's shop has a lot of supplies we need for now, and it is going to set us up with the rest. The hard part was getting a few good carts, and the surprise we have that's coming later. We need one of the other centaur ladies to get the other cart we have. I see you overall, elf stall. Astra, how did he do?"

"Well, he did pick some nice ones that will help out on the farm. At the same time, he did pick those that were in bad shape. Well, to say they are in bad shape would be an understatement. I'm just hoping we can save them. My main worry is him pushing himself too hard in ways that he doesn't need to and not focusing on the main issues," Astra committed.

I could see why she and others would be worried, but at the same time, how could I know to try to help those who remind me of May? Since coming here, she has been by my side through all of it so far.

I thought we would head back with May's group and see what they had gotten and the surprise they got. It would also be good to check on the new girls and talk with May about expenses.

Once back at the barn, Cora was still sleeping after staying watch overnight, and the Milkmaids had the barn in top shape. It was cleaner now than before; they had even had lunch ready for us and other chances. I asked about why they had done it. The answer I got was that they knew the type of livestock I wanted, and they would need beds and not straw. It still upsets me to call all these ladies livestock.

Just then, the elves I bought that day arrived. After signing for them, I showed them where they would be staying. May came with me to look them over, she seemed even more worried after doing so.

"I am all for saving as many elves as we can, being one myself, but some of those girls have major damage done to them, not just physically but emotionally. Unlike Astra, I think they can be saved, but it takes a lot of one-on-one time with you down the line. Just getting out there is going to help for now. I talk to them for now and see how each one is," said May.

"I know, but I felt bad for how they were being treated back there. I'm just hoping I didn't hurt our finances too badly getting them all. I know we still need people to help with large items around the farm as well as supplies to get us up and going," I told her how I felt.

She reached into a bag on her hip, pulled out a book, and opened it up. As I looked down, it magically started having a writing pop-up. In it, my name and starting amount are also given, and a detailed list of what I bought and how much, including the elves I just got, shows up. With everything said, I spent $46.5K, which was a lot, but my remaining balance is what shocked me. It said I had just about $3.63M left. There is no way I just read that I had that much money still left.

May spoke up, "It may not be the full amount you normally get every month once you're the world farmer, but I still think you will be fine with the money you have left. I know that when you get to the new place, it will need updates as well as all new equipment, and with the livestock and supplies that we have gotten and still need to get, by the time we are done, you will be low on funds this month. Even then, I don't think you'd be able to use your full monthly amount, but it will take a good bit. So if you're worried about being rich, I don't think you will have to worry about that."

I didn't realize how rich I was now, even if most of it was going to the cost of running the farm. As long as I can fulfill my duties and take care of all the girls.

"I don't care about being rich, it's nice and all, but it's not who I am. While it does help, I have to set goals for myself till everything becomes clear as to what I need to do. Till then, I will pick the best livestock and people for the farm that are best suited for what I think I might need. If I can save some people while doing that, then I feel that I am obligated to do so," I told May.

With a smile on her face now, I could see that May agreed with me.

Just then, Sarah came and let us know it was time for lunch. While we were away, the rest of the Milkmaids made some sandwiches and fresh milk. They all seemed happy watching them work. You could feel the effect of them being here just from chance since this morning.

Then, Runna and Eliana got back as well. The cart they brought back was loaded to max. I'm just glad that Eliana could even push it with Runna's help. Runna said that some of the items she would be selling since she knew we didn't have room for them right now. The main thing she needed was an anvil and a few other tools. She did have a few ideas for keeping some of the other items to make the tools we need for the farm.

With lunch now out of the way, I thought of what the afternoon held. It seems like it could be one of our last nights in the city, hopefully. We need to get the rest of the supplies that we will need. The last thing I knew we needed as far as livestock was someone that strong. That was kind of the problem of which races were strong enough for what we needed. In a way, I knew I could ask May, Astra, and Sarah, but I had to start making decisions on my own here and soon take more of a leadership role.

These last few days have been very stressful with learning how this world works. The girls here have my back, helping me with everything, and the sexual activities have been great. At the same time, I don't want any of them to feel forced either. Then I remembered last night with Zoe and this morning with Alice, thinking how much both seemed to enjoy it. Astra had even said that she, Cora, and Eliana wanted to sleep with me. I wonder if that was all who wanted to. I guess time would tell. I mean, we still had more girls to add to our new family that I was making.

Just then, May spoke up with a concerned look, " I can see that look on your face, and you need to relax. You can't do everything yourself. I told you that I am here to help you where you need it, and I can tell just from talking to them that Astra and Sarah feel the same way."

"Just as May said, I am here to help you now. I wouldn't have bent myself to you if I thought you were not worthy of leading us," Astra spoke up.

Then I hear Sarah say, " I know we're not much, but me other Milkmaids and I are here to serve all of your needs. Be they for business, on the farm, or personal, as you can tell from Alice this morning. Our top job now is to see to your every need and those around you as well, to better your life. While I know you don't want to feel that we are forced, just know from how been to us so far, we think we are in safe hands with you and want to take care of you."

"Look, rest for now, and why not this evening we go out shopping, and I don't mean for supplies. Yes, they are important, but you might as well get some not work iteams for yourself while we're in town," May commented.

I went up to my bedroom to catch a small nap. No more than I lay my head down, and I was out.
