My fox ear twitched full of enthusiasm when the deal was successfully made. No doubt, I'm happy.
"We are ready and can depart anytime. Now, when are you ready to accept us?" I asked Stella.
"I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"Do you want to discuss this with your friends first? And why not call your five friends here? That way we can get a faster answer."
Stella narrowed her eyes, her long ears jerked for several times. The girl took a back step when she became alert.
Feel something wrong, I looked around. I found that Ruciel and Ronove also squinted their eyes when they saw me.
"What's wrong?" I found out when I was confused.
"You're really an expert in inviting problems," Ronove said.
"Problems? How can I invite problems? I don't remember ever doing things that can cause problems."
"What he meant, your stupidity is the problem!" Ruciel gave an unreasonable explanation.
"I'm not stupid!" I protested. Then I saw Stella. "Sorry for showing something unsightly like this suddenly."
Stella shook her head. "I have never questioned trivial things like that. Now and more importantly, where do you know that there are five people who accompanied me?"
"Isn't that clear?" My fox ear twitched when I answered. "I have a skill that can detect you and your friends."
"What kind of skill? I'm sure, my friends use their best abilities to hide. You must have an extraordinary skill."
I shook my head. "No, you're wrong. It's just a normal- ouch!" Strange sound was created to cut me out. That happened because suddenly, Ruciel pinched my stomach.
I glared at the girl when I asked, "why did you do that?"
"I want you to think before talking," He gave me an explanation that I didn't understand. "Now, as you want, if we want to invite our guests to join us, it's good if we prepare myself. I'm sure, you don't want them to come when we don't have anything to welcome them."
"You're right, I have to cook something quickly to welcome them," I made a declaration. Then I saw Stella again. "Please invite your friends to come. I will welcome you with the best cuisine I can make."
"Of course," Stella's answer was brief before she disappeared into the forest.
A moment later I started making Barbeque, Onion Soup, and toast. When all the food is ready, Stella returns ... alone. He left two of his friends in the forest while the other three boarded our airship.
"Where are your friends?" I wonder.
"They said they wanted to secure the circumstances around."
"By climbing our airship?"
"..." Stella didn't say anything when she turned her face away.
On the other hand, I got another pinch from Ruciel. Meanwhile, Ronove turn up to see our airship.
"We do this to ensure that you don't hide anything that threatens us."
"Do you have a little trust in us huh?"
"That is a natural thing if we meet strangers."
"As long as you don't hurt us, there will be no problems between us."
"Do you think you can defeat us?"
"You will never know. So, let's forget distrust between us for a moment. Join us Stella, all these foods are waiting for you."
"..." Again, the girl didn't say anything. After he put up a complicated expression for a while, he finally sat with us.
I gave him the food I had promised. A moment later I smiled when I heard the girl saying a delicious after she eat my food. Our lunch continued and when Stella was busy with her food ...
"Ruciel, come here," I called with a hand wave.
Ruciel looked at me without doing anything. He forced me to repeat my orders once more. In the end, he approached me after sighing.
"What?" He asked without hiding his irritation.
This girl ... I promised to repay this attitude when we were alone. I will make him moaning until he fainted. But now, there are important things I have to do first.
I whispered my goal at him. Ruciel gave me another gaze. He just did what I wanted after I said, "Do it," firmly.
"Stella, have you ever heard of 'total obedience' or that kind of thing?" Ruciel asked and ...
"What is that? I have never heard of it," Stella answered normally. There are no changes or a peculiarity that occur.
Say the sentence without knowing that it does not affect the shadow elf at all. This part is in accordance with the knowledge I have. Now ...
"Do you really have never heard it? 'Total Compliance' I mean," I repeated Ruciel's question.
"No, like-" Stella suddenly stopped talking. His body movements became stiff and his eyes lost light. He is like being hypnotized.
Yes, I want to make sure the truth of the story where Shadow elf can be controlled by a series of words. Now, I see that proof directly.
To ensure that I managed to take over Stella's freedom, I did nothing. I observed the girl for some time before I knew, the girl didn't talk or move at all. Sitting there, he became a doll.
"Fiu ..." I whistled, being amazed and scared. "Ancient Magic cannot be underestimated. That type of magic makes my hair stand."
"... What's this!?" Ronove demanded an explanation after seeing what happened. From his voice, can I feel panic and fear?
It's unusual. I know Ronove is strong. If he feels scared, the threat of Shadow Elf has greater than I expected. And it should be, I realized this sooner.
Didn't I know that Shadow Elf is the strongest race from the Elf kin?
"Eclaite me answer!" Ronove snapped at me. "What's this!?"
"Well ... I just, hmm ... make Stella become my slave?"
"Don't ask me! And what do you mean by that!? Explain everything from the start and free the girl before the problem knocking on our door!"
"This story is quite long but long story short, I just want to make sure whether Shadow elves can be controlled by a series of specific words. And as you can see, what I want to make sure is reality."
"It's strange, I say the sentence you mean but he doesn't become like this," Ruciel said.
I nodded and then gave an explanation. "That's because you don't know the meaning of the sentence you say."
"What is the meaning of that sentence?" Ronove asked.
"Why did you ask?" I asked back.
"I'm curious."
"Hmm ... I feel there is a deeper reason. Unfortunately, I can't tell you."
Ronove sighed and then made a light wave. "Forget it, more importantly, free him before we get a problem. I'm sure, you know how to do it."
"I know but wait a minute. Curious I haven't satisfied. As for the problem, you don't need to worry. I always pay attention to Stella's friends. There are no changes in their movements and if any, I will immediately release Stella."
"... Do whatever you want and hurry up."
"I will do it," I said to him before I saw Stella. "Now, Stella, raise your hand a little, please the left one."
The girl Shadow elf did my order. He raised his left hand slightly.
"Make a cute pose and say, 'I love you Eclaite.' Do it with all your abilities. "
After I finished talking, Ruciel said, "seriously?" As a comment.
And yes, Stella did what I said. In the end, I gave three other commands before freeing Stella.
"- I said before, I didn't know the word," said Stella out of nowhere.
A moment later I realized that he continued the sentence he had previously said. Seeing that, I asked, "Do you not remember the thing that happened?"
"What do you mean?" Stella is confused.
"If he doesn't remember anything, I can play with his body as I like without worrying he know it, right?"
Swoss! Plaak!
A spell, a Mana Ball from Ronove hit my forehead. After that, a rough, strong slap from Ruciel hit my cheek to connect the attack. Yes, the combination of the attack became the answer to my question.
In an instant, I was sad and felt a little pain when I sat on the ground after I fell. Stella froze because he might be surprised by the thing that happened. On the other hand, Ruciel and Ronove made a scary expression of anger.
"What are you doing!?" I demand.
"I never thought that you were a lewd girl," Ronove commented.
Ruciel snorted and nodded. "You're right, this thing is the worst when it touches other people's bodies. Especially when it does that without permission."
"I can't help it! This kind of things I did because I have a courtesan at level eight, okay? The lewd thought just come out of nowhere, I have a strong desire to touch someone I love, and it does not include a strong desire to have s*x because of this skill! And I bet, You don't know how much suffering I should endured to hold all this and not to lose control! "
I shouted the mind that had been hard enough I buried deeply. That's right, I'm crazy because wanting s*x after the courtesan reach the eigh level.
At level seven, everything is still fine and I can still refrain myself easily. But now, holding back not to do s*x or touch Ruciel is a painful torment.
And ugh! I thought about doing s*x without me wanting it.
"Ahem! Please forget what I just said," I said with a little embarrassment.
