What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

"Welcome home, Mistress. There are several letters addressed to you that have just arrived. Would you like to see them?" Katsuki asked as soon as I walked in through the entrance after returning from school.

I groaned, "Are the letters inviting me to go attend a party?"

Katsuki nodded, "It is as Mistress has surmised. Is there anyone in particular that Mistress favours? I can help Mistress reject the rest of them and only accept those that Mistress favours."

I scratched my cheek, "Actually… I would like to attend those that will be serving sweets at their party. And I'm not saying just a little bit of sweets but a lot of it~ Do you think that would be possible to sift through?"

Without even a moment of hesitation, Katsuki nodded, "That would be possible, Mistress. Shall I prioritise the amount of sweets or the quality of sweets that would be served in those parties if two such parties fall on the same day?"

"Ughh… That's a little difficult to choose…"

"Shall I prioritise quantity unless the sweets being used in that party are of a variety that Mistress might not enjoy partaking?"

"Oh! That would certainly be a good idea! Could you do that, Katsuki?"

She nodded, "Of course, Mistress. In the event that the invitation comes from a close friend, for example, an invitation from one of your classmates in your Iatromancy class, shall I prioritise their invitation over sweets?"

Wow… What would I ever do without you, Katsuki?

I nodded, "Please do. It's fine if those parties don't have sweets… Although…"

"I will make sure to set aside some sweets for you to bring to those parties, Mistress."

"Ahhhh~ You're the best, Katsuki! I love youuuuu!" I squealed, pulling my Inugami maid into a hug.

"Mnnn… It is only natural for me to serve you, Mistress."

"Ehehehe~ It's been a while hasn't it? So could I fluff your tail for a bit?"

She did not even hesitate before nodding, "Of course, Mistress."

She turned around and presented her back to me, her lupine tail wagging slightly as though in anticipation.

I couldn't help myself so I reached forward and stroked the fluffy tail with my hands, running my fingers through her marvelously soft fur and enjoying the feeling of her fur against my hand.

Mnnnn~ This is the best! Fluff~ Fluff~ Fluff~

Ehehehe~ I can never get enough of this~ I wouldn't mind just sitting here and fluffing her forever if I could~

"Mnng… Mis… Mistress… Ahhh… Ahhh…"

Oh wow, Katsuki's making some rather lewd sounds despite me just doing nothing but fluffing her tail.

Whoops, I think that should be enough for now. I still need to deal with the mass of invitations after all… And by me, I mean Katsuki of course.

I stepped back from Katsuki and her tail actually wagged quite a lot for a few moments before it went still, probably from Katsuki forcing it to stop wagging.

So cute~

My Inugami maid straightened herself and took a moment to pat down her dress before turning back to me.

"Is there anything else you require, Mistress?"

"Mmm~ I don't think so?"

"In that case, may I trouble you to come with me for a moment, Young Mistress?" A voice came from behind.

I spun around to see Mary stepping out of a portal, the Trasif stopping just a step in front of it to bow to me.

"The Madam wishes to meet with you, Young Mistress."

"Oh. Mother does? Erm… Ok? Katsuki?"

I turned back to Katsuki and she bowed as well, "I shall remain here to work on the invitations, Mistress."

Alright then~

I nodded at Mary and she stepped aside to allow me to walk through her portal.

Before I could reach it, however, she raised her hand and I stopped in front of her outstretched palm, only to realise that there was a [Mask of Impossible Identity] resting on her palm.

I guess she wants me to put that on first before I go through the portal.

I wordlessly took the mask from her and put it on, only then did she lower her arm again to allow me to pass.

When I stepped through it, I expected myself to fall since that seemed to be a recurring theme at this point.

Surprisingly, this time that didn't happen and I found myself stepping out onto solid ground.

Before I could even get my bearings, I was suddenly assaulted with the sound of war drums beating and the shouts and warcries of soldiers.

I realised that I was standing in the middle of a war camp which I suspect belonged to the King judging by the flags that were perched all around the camp.

Yep, I see a rather familiar tent just a few metres away as well, so this should be King Justinia's camp.

The only difference is that unlike before where the camp would only be set up as a place to stay the night, this camp in particular seemed to have been entrenched like it was preparing for a siege.

Mary stepped through the portal after me and it closed itself silently.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

Mary frowned slightly, "It seems like we were a little late… It has already begun. Follow me, Young Mistress."

I did as she asked and followed behind the Trasif maid, who seemed to be leading me towards the entrance of the camp where a large wooden gate had been erected complete with two archery towers on either side.

She easily hopped over the gate and I followed suit, both of us landing on the ground without a sound.

Now that we were outside the camp, I could see that we were in a large grassy plain with sparse trees scattered around the plain.

Right now, a battle seemed to be taking place as what were clearly Lecharouc soldiers who were accompanying the King as her guards were locked in combat with what I could only describe as an undead army.

By that, I wasn't talking about just skeletons but there seemed to be zombies, wights, banshees and even flesh golems.

I could even see King Justinia leading the charge and fighting at the front lines herself, her sword cutting through throngs of undead with every swing of her arm.

Mother was also beside her, wielding a sword of her own and smashing skeletons and zombies apart without mercy, her opponents not even standing remotely of a chance against her.

I knew she was obviously holding back because I bet if she wanted, she could wipe out the entire army with ease instead of pretending like she even needed a weapon.

"Mary? What's going on?" I asked.

"That was what we were hoping Young Mistress might be able to tell us. We found monsters wandering outside a Dungeon and Her Majesty, King Justinia decided to investigate, only for a horde of monsters to come pouring out from it the next day. This is the fourth day we have been here and it seems like the monsters would not stop pouring out from the Dungeon."

Geez… Didn't you say that this would be rare, Hiandoca? Wait… I guess you didn't say that… You just said that it could be handled by even normal villages.

I grimaced a little, "It's… A little complicated… It has something to do with Off-Worldsers being here which makes a Dungeon Monster capable of leaving the Dungeon when the Dungeon has reached maximum capacity…"

Mary frowned, "How did Young Mistress find out about this?"

"Would you believe me if I said that I had an audience with Hiandoca and she told me? Not only that, she sent me to a Dungeon just to clear the monsters to prevent such a thing from happening?"

She didn't even question it and nodded, "I see… And when did this happen?"

"Err… Yesterday?"

"Understood. In that case, please wait in the King's tent, Mistress. I believe both Madam and the King would like to listen to this explanation after the battle."

"Eh? Did you really bring me here for this?"

"The Madam and the King had already suspected that it might be something related to Off-Worlders for the Dungeon to have such an anomaly. But we had initially thought that it might have been because of an Off-Worlder taking over the Dungeon as a Dungeon Master instead of what Young Mistress has said. They simply wanted to check if Young Mistress had experienced this somewhere before as well."

Fair enough…

I pointed to the battle, "But shouldn't I join the fight though? I can fight the monsters too, can't I?"

Mary shook her head, "There is no need, Young Mistress. The King is also using this as an opportunity to test and train her soldiers. If Young Mistress were to join the fight, the effect would be diminished."

Wow… So she's also taking advantage of this despite it being a crisis I see… As expected of the King I guess?

I guess I'll just have to wait for them to be done before we can talk about this…
