What was really bizarre about his current situation was that he was frozen stiff at the moment. Normally he'd be afraid of some disaster or another falling upon his head. But all he had was a group of girls being nice to him without any sign of trouble brewing. If this had been what he'd expected, they would have at least been fighting amongst themselves to do things, or complaining to him about how he was 'letting' other girls butt in.
Instead, he had Nabiki actually going upstairs to her room to get her comics so that she could bring the ones that she thought that he would like to read back. Girls he wasn't sure that he recognized were looking over his homework, and he'd eaten a rather sizable meal that a Kasumi led team had made for him. Hell, he had Akane actually not only volunteering to massage his neck and shoulders, but doing so without commenting on his behavior.
Considering the fact that he could feel her breasts bounce against his back every time that she went to really work at it, he had to wonder when the other shoe would drop, most likely straight onto his head.
About the only thing that he could hope for was that someone was getting answers for the strange behavior of the girls around him.
"Ah, so you have no problems with all this, do you?" Cologne murmured as she sat at a table in the dining area of the Nekohanten.
One of the girls shook her head slightly and bowed deeply. "No, Mistress."
"Ah, for the certainty of youth. But then you say that you all were specially prepared in that... place?"
"Yes, Mistress."
"Hmm. How very interesting," the Amazon Elder commented and barely managed a thankful glance as another girl slipped in and placed a freshly brewed cup of tea before her. "I rather doubt that it was done for chuckles."
"That is right, Mistress."
"Then why don't you tell me what exactly you were supposed to be for."
"It is really simple. We were made to be ready for a Master or Mistress, which ever one chose us."
"And we are the completely loyal and dedicated servants of that person," intoned a third girl.
"Having a Mistress gives us a focus in life that we need," the original speaker admitted. "We can't live without it."
"I see.... And that means that you're all loyal to me," the Matriarch suggested.
"Exactly, Mistress."
Cologne's wry expression was more towards the absurdity of the situation, but she was certainly thankful that this was proving to be so... calm. She rather didn't want to see what might have happened if they had been as combative as the youths that she remembered, but, for the moment, it seemed that they were rational enough. Fortunately, they hadn't complained about having to change out of those skin tight outfits for waitress uniforms, even if that meant that she had a lot of girls wearing minidresses and nearly identical pants and blouse combos.
Ah well, one couldn't win them all, and she was rather happy that she could get information this way. Having to draw it out when one out in the field could be so bothersome. Avoiding all those stiff joints was rather pleasant, and she thought that it was novel that she could get some answers like this.
So, she merely sipped her tea, found herself mildly surprised at its superior quality, and considered the group of young women with her, while:
