My Servant System-Chapter 120 119: Study Time

After managing to survive the rest of dinner, Jahi and Anput found themselves back on the couch, Jahi holding open the large history books while Leone sat beside them, writing down her essay for the class.

Washing the dishes, I glanced back as I asked "Jahi, does History seem like it'll have a hard final, or..?"

The Demoness shook her head, before pursing her lips as she stared down at Anput, who was already dozing off a little.

"No, you'll just need to read through the books and get a general gist of our history; however, there are some confusing points, though I doubt they'll be on the test."

"You mean like the ancient Demon Clans? Asmodeucian, Beliali, and Cimeriesa?"

Jahi nodded, pursing her lips as she gestured to the book, disturbing Anput's rest.

"They just don't go over them in depth... I mean, the Fenrika had a good chunk dedicated to them, as did the Human Tribes... as for the lands ruled by Echidna, I've yet to fully read her section, but she also has a few chapters dedicated to her and her people. But the Demons..."

She sighed, staring at the book in frustration.

Leone looked up, spinning her pen in her hand as she asked "Should we go visit the Royal Library then? Try to find anything on the Demon Clans?"

Sighing, Jahi shrugged her shoulders, still staring at the book in her hands.

"Maybe... but I also don't mind waiting to hear it from mom... after all, she should know better than anyone what happened to the Asmodeucian's, and why it later became the Asmodia's."

Leone nodded, returning to her essay, only to say "Anput, when do you plan on writing yours?"

The Jackalkin yawned, blankly looking at Leone for a few moments before her eyes went wide.

"Shit..!"

Scrambling to her feet, she rushed off to her room, making the rest of us chuckle as we watched her go.

"What about you, Kat?"

Scrubbing out the large pot of sauce, I pursed my lips as I said "When I'm done here.Two pages shouldn't take that long..."

Jahi nodded, leaning back into the couch as she yawned, closing the book.

"Wake me up when you're done, Kat..."

"Of course Mistress~"

She growled in slight annoyance, glaring at me for a moment before shrugging, closing her eyes.

The room fell quiet, the only noise coming from the sink and the sound of Leone's pen scratching on paper.

Hmm...

I could just ask for that class to be dropped, what with me being a servant and all, but honestly...

Well, I wanted to take Monsterology next year, since there seemed to be much to learn in that field, as well as since March Asmodia shares a border with the Labyrinthian; although I've yet to hear about anything happening during the years I've been here.

So, I needed to pass this History course, so that I could take Monsterology, which meant..

I sighed, already dreading having to read those two thick textbooks and memorize the general events that happened over the last few millennia.

However, Jahi was incredibly smart, even if she rarely showed it, which means that as long as she teaches or helps guide the rest of us, we should pass easily...

Though I do worry about Anput.

Shaking my head as I thought about our true resident muscle head, I found myself wondering just what she would do for our date...

Especially since Jahi will likely take Leone out in a day or two; probably the day before our off day, so that she doesn't need to worry about whether or not she wears herself or Leone out.

Smiling to myself, I continued cleaning as I ran through the small list of ideas I can see Anput coming up with.

Sparring, A barbecue like place, or just staying at home and doing nothing.

Though she did seem a little more... mature after her night with Jahi, so who knows?

Maybe she'll surprise me.

Finishing up, I used my wind to dry off the dishes before putting them away, stretching out my aching back and shoulders as I walked over towards Jahi.

Shaking her shoulders, I whispered "Wake up, Mistress..."

Groaning, the Demoness blinked her eyes a few times before glancing up at me.

"Why do you need to be so efficient..."

Chuckling, I watched as she got to her feet, grabbed my wrist, and led me to our room.

"Leone~ Do you want to join us for studying?"

The Vampire gulped, her lava like eyes flickering between us as she hesitantly asked "J-Just studying... right?"

"Probably."

Nodding Leone scooped up her papers and followed behind us, looking at the large bed with a gulp.

Sitting down, Jahi tossed the history book onto the soft mattress, before pursing her lips as she stared at the door.

"Should we get Anput or..?"

I sighed, shaking my head as I said "If you disturb her now she'll never get that essay done. She'll join us eventually."

"Alright. So, we were looking at the Fenrika last class, so next class should be about Echidna down South; at least if he follows the layout of this book."

Flipping through the pages, Jahi pulled me onto her lap, making me hold up the book as she read it aloud, Leone and I listening to her, occasionally asking questions or going back to reaffirm something the book stated.

Time passed by slowly, and after finishing the chapter on the Snakes in the South, I got up to make us some tea.

Anput stumbled down the hall, collapsing onto the bed with a whine as she nuzzled against Jahi, making us all chuckle.

While I was making a pot of tea, someone knocked on the door.

Taking the chef knife from the drawer, I held it in my left hand as I opened the door slightly peeking out.

Seeing a Birdkin man standing outside, I asked "Can I help you?"

"Oh! Uh, yes... A letter, for one... 'Jahi Asmodia'."

He held out the letter, and I took it form his hands, nodding.

"W-Well, good night then!"

Giving me an awkward smile, he turned around and walked away.

Locking the door again, I stared down at the letter, smiling lightly as I saw the familiar Asmodia symbol stamped onto the red wax seal.

"What's that?"

Jumping slightly, I looked back to see Jahi staring down at me, her head tilted.

"Oh, it's a letter from home..."

Handing it to her, I watched as she sliced the seal open, pulling out a few pages.

"Ah, this one's from Miss Julie."

She handed me a single page, and I leaned against the door as I read it over.

It contained everything that a worried parent would send to their child when they moved out; are you doing okay away from home, eating enough, I miss you...

Smiling gently down at the page, I clenched the page in surprise when I saw the last part, and considering I heard Jahi chuckling, I guess she got the same news.

"We're going to have two younger siblings..?"

Jahi grinned at me, pulling me into a hug as she said "I can't wait to meet them~!"

Stopping, she pursed her lips as she asked "Would you prefer brothers or sisters?"

I shrugged, replying "Either would be fine to me."

She nodded, her grin returning as she leaned down, whispering "Would you prefer a son or a daughter~?"

Rolling my eyes at her, I remained in her arms, Anput and Leone eventually walking out, wondering what was taking so long.

"Whoa, twins?!"

Anput seemed incredibly intrigued by that, while Leone gave us a gentle smile.

"Life will certainly be more entertaining with siblings... I know mine was."

Jahi looked over at her, tilting her head as she asked "Oh yeah, you have siblings don't you? Their all older, right?"

Nodding, Leone held up her hand, counting them off.

"There's Dante, my eldest brother, from Mom and Aunt Igna. Then Aunt D'Arcon has one daughter, Monica. Aunt Fenryas has two children, Vienna and Roman. Then Aunt Yusa has two daughters, Misa and Lisa. I'm the current youngest, but..."

Sighing, Leone pursed her lips as she muttered "Aunt Igna and Fenryas are expecting."

Anput just stared at Leone in shock.

"By the Goddess... that's a LOT of siblings..."

Then she frowned, looking around the room.

"Oh."

Jahi laughed, and I chuckled.

"Yes dear~! I have said I want a large family, didn't I~?"

I rolled my eyes at Jahi, however I didn't say anything.

Anput blushed, while Leone gulped.

"Anyways, the Empress has... five wives then?"

Leone shook her head.

"There's a sixth; Aunt Theresa. However, she's yet to bear a child, though the Empress makes sure to remind her that it's not necessary and to not worry. All my other Aunt's respect her too, since she's apparently mom's original lover. She even helped raise me when mother had to deal with her lands or the Academy..."

Smiling gently, Leone looked at the floor, reminiscing, before returning to the present.

"Six..."

Jahi pursed her lips, looking us over, only to flinch as we all gave her a chilling smile.

"""Jahi...""" f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

"Fine, fine! I know; just you three! Hah..."

Frowning at her, I narrowed my eyes, watching as she scratched her cheek before turning away.

"Come on, study! We should study before bed!"

Sighing, Anput, Leone and I glanced at each other before giggling, following behind our troublesome Demoness.
