Sarafinia Drakken
In this incident…
The perpetrator is still unknown, but the mastermind is predictable.
It’s that guy.
The Shonks family, a once prestigious household that has become arrogant and insolent, acting like the mafia, no, worse than the mafia. It’s undoubtedly their doing.
The current head, Pong Shonks, is said to be the most incompetent Shonks family head in history.
Unlike previous heads who engaged in fair trade, he resorts to one-sided exploitation through violence against business partners.
They extort “protection fees” from the residents of the planet where their base is located, threatening violence if not paid.
They have even forcibly taken young women as “hostages” to prove loyalty from families allied with the Shonks. He is called the most incompetent for brazenly committing such acts that disregard his subordinates.
And that bastard had the audacity to tell me and my sisters, “Become my concubines.”
Back then, I slapped his face, Maya kicked his shin, and Tina landed a front kick to his abdomen, but we should have broken a few of his limbs while we were at it.
But we have no evidence.
First, I should check the surveillance camera footage…
We must retrieve the “potluck” items no matter what.
But…considering our history, I have a bit of hope, you see♪

Twenty hours since the cosmetic rice cakes for the “potluck” went missing.
My subordinates and I have finally cornered the perpetrator.
The perpetrator was one of our security guards.
“You… how dare you betray us!”
We chased the culprit into an alleyway, and I punched him square in the face.
He crashed into a wire fence with a clang and collapsed.
According to the on-site reports, he was known as a diligent family man, devoted to his wife and daughter.
His work performance was good, and he had no superiors who would provoke him.
It was puzzling why such a person would commit this act.
As he lay there dazed, staring at us,
“I… had no choice…”
he answered,
“What do you mean, ‘had no choice’?!”
Enraged by his response, I grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
“My family was taken hostage!”
“!”
Startled by his scream-like words, I released my grip on his collar.
“They said they’d kill my family if I didn’t cooperate. They said they’d release them after the Festival…”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Here…”
On the man’s multipurpose terminal was an image of his wife and daughter tied up.
“Doesn’t seem like a lie or an act. Who ordered you?”
“Directly, it was a man in a black suit, a Human. But undoubtedly the Shonks gang. I recognized the car he got into.”
The moment I heard that, I felt my blood boil.
The face of the bastard who had harassed me and my sisters during our shopping trip flashed in my mind.
He had stood in our way and said outright,
“So you’re the three Drakken sisters. Alright, you’ll all be my concubines. Be grateful that you get to become my concubines. Now, come with me. I’ll treat each of you lovingly.”
So, Sara slapped his face.
Maya kicked his shin with the tip of her foot.
And I landed a front kick to his abdomen.
In hindsight, I should have ripped off four or five of his tails back then!
Anyway, now we have to find where this family is being held hostage!
This is our chance to finally throw that bastard in jail!

After spending all day yesterday making boiled eggs, even though I took a bath and changed clothes, I still feel like I smell like soy sauce marinade.
On top of that, my “monthly visitor” arrived this morning, so Richelina had her way with me like a dress-up doll, draining me of my energy and stamina.
Please, no more frills…
Despite my weariness and fatigue, I had to load the industrial-sized containers filled with boiled eggs onto a hovering cart and bring them to the “potluck” venue. It was quite a challenge.
Of course, I wasn’t alone. Maya and Richelina, along with several employees, helped me.
The venue for this “potluck,” or more precisely, the “New Bloom Nova Festival Pre-Tournament Banquet,” was called the “Treasure Light Palace.” It was a hexagonal garden about the size of a colony, previously used as a venue for a spaceship sales exhibition.
In that great hall, each family was given their own space to display the dishes they had brought to share.
This method seemed to imitate the way doujinshi books were sold alongside merchandise at the space ship fair that had been previously held in the hexagonal garden.
Apparently, before this, things had gotten quite disorganized when people just spread out their items haphazardly.
By the way, not all Draconian people gathered at this venue – only the council members representing the planet Lysio and the families/clans involved in politics and economics gathered here.
Originally, it was just a case of relatives, colleagues, and hobby friends getting together for a potluck party. The idea of it being a product contest or social statement only became a thing recently (though that was still 2,500 years ago).
In any case, until the cosmetic rice cakes were found, I could only make do with the “temporary” dishes I had prepared, without any packaging.
So I had them prepare disposable bowls, chopsticks, etc. that could be recycled.
It was then that big sister Sara, who seemed to have finished her investigations, showed up.
“Sara, any results?”
“I’ve identified the culprit and the location of the potluck dishes, but I don’t have definitive proof.”
“I see…we could force our way in to take them back, but that would put us at a disadvantage.”
“I’ve informed Tina’s squad just in case.”
I ignored the rather ominous conversation she was having with Richelina.
At that moment,
“Well, well! If it isn’t one of the sister Sarafinia-Drakken, come to give me presents!”
a young Draconian man with green scales, brown hair, black eyes, an unsavory suit, and a retinue of attendants in black came up to us loudly proclaimed
Everyone except me looked at him like they’d seen a cockroach in the kitchen.
Sara stepped forward defiantly.
“Is this because you said you’d make all three of us sisters your mistresses? Or is there something else? You want another present, perhaps?”
She took an imposing stance with a bewitching smile, overpowering him.
The man seemed intimidated by Sara’s intense presence.
Sara often shows a slovenly side in front of me and my family, but this was the “Empress of the Evil Eye” persona known to the world.
And the force of her presence completely overwhelmed the man.
“Wha-…You could become my devoted woman! Why would you refuse?!”
“Are you an idiot? What kind of woman do you think would agree to that? Moreover…”
Sara grabbed the man’s tie and leaned in, chewing him out.
Even his attendants couldn’t bring themselves to intervene against Sara’s dominating aura.
Finally, I was able to ask Maya about that foolish man.
“Maya, who…is that idiot?”
“That’s Pong-Shonks, the current head of the infamous Shonks family among Draconians. As you can see, he’s a scumbag personality-wise.”
Maya’s tone made it clear she disliked him.
“Hard to believe someone like that can run a company…”
The ladies of Rioearth palace are clearly more refined.
I must have been lucky to have never encountered him before.
“W-Well! It’s a festival! I brought a potluck dish too!”
Pong desperately pulled away from Sara,
his eyes watering
after being dressed down by her.
He timidly instructed his attendants to bring something over.
What they brought was a box containing the cosmetic rice cakes that the Drakken family had prepared.
“Look! These are the cosmetic rice cakes from Planet Yarmado! I hear you were going to serve the same thing at your booth?”
It was a box of rice cakes prepared by the Drakken family.
“Hmm? I don’t see any rice cakes in your booth? Oh dear! Apparently the Drakken family doesn’t intend to get along with the people around them! “
He raised his voice intentionally so others could hear.
If that was his aim, he just came across as an idiot.
