119 Episode 73.5: Swan Wings

"Ugh, um...... That, where am I?

The woman, who slept in a very soft bed, whines so much at the same time as she wakes up and wakes herself up.

My memories seem to be cloudy and I don't remember anything before I went to bed.

I found myself in a small room with brand new white walls and windows, but I can't remember why I'm here at all.

"Yeah? Something's wrong..."

The woman followed the discomfort and turned her face down.

So for the first time I realized that I wasn't wearing anything, that I was still born.

"Huh!? Hey, why are you naked...!?

Surprised, he handles the sheet that was nearby and hides himself.

A relatively large chest is hidden in a white sheet, but it would not be possible without a bundle (coming) all around to hide the whole body completely.

"What the hell happened!? Why are you naked? Where are we!?

"Excuse me."

The door to that room opened as the confused woman screamed.

It was a woman in maid clothes who came in through the door.

I have a basin with a coffee pot in my hand, and the smell of coffee is coming from the coffee pot.

"Apparently, you're up. Good morning. No, it's already good evening."

"Who are you!? Where am I!? Why am I naked?

"Please calm down, Mr. Asha. Let me explain it in the order that I'm going to follow."

"Ugh, yeah......"

Naked woman, Asha stands up with her body hidden in sheets and stuffs herself to a woman in maid clothes.

The lady in maid clothes returned calmly, with a calm look on her face even when stuffed by Asha.

By explaining it to me, Asha realized that it was not the only thing she wanted to ask.

How do you know your name, which you shouldn't even have named? Why is it so billion-dollar to walk? What is wrong with my stomach?

"But for now, I want to wear clothes..."

"Sorry, I can't allow that"

"Why...?

Asha is stunned that she was dismissed as plausible in some ways for wearing clothes.

There is nothing like a closet when you look over the room, and there is no such thing as being able to hide oneself apart from the sheets.

"I'll explain that to you, too. First, sit in your bed and calm down."

"... Okay, I get it"

I'm not convinced, but I decided there was some reason to obey adults and sit back on the bed.

Asha is an A-rank adventurer, so she has more than a little of herself in combat.

Even if the woman in maid clothes were malicious, it would have been a decision because she was confident she could handle it on her own.

Therefore, it was a priority to listen on this occasion.

As it turned out, this decision was correct.

Because if Asha had been in trouble on this occasion, she would have listened to a maid of honor, just as if she hadn't.

That too, unlike when it didn't break out, maybe in a hurtful state......

"Would you like some coffee?

"... I'll have it"

I don't know how much I slept, Asha, but I received my coffee because I was thirsty for a long time.

You won't have to worry about poison. Even if I didn't have to kill him with poison, if I wanted to, I could kill him whenever I was asleep.

Asha mouths the coffee she is given.

"Ah, yummy..."

It tasted better than any coffee I've ever had, so Asha shrugged unexpectedly.

Where he moistened his throat all the way through, Asha returned the coffee cup to the maid.

"Let's start by introducing ourselves. My name is Lucea. I am now the servant of the great God."

"Me of God? Are you a goddess person?

There are several religions in this world, but it is goddess that can be said to be the greatest force among them.

The story is simple when it comes to why the greatest force, because the goddess has proven its existence.

Nothing will come as a surprise to dedicate faith to a transcendent who clearly exists.

Therefore, Lucea, the woman in maid clothes who said away with a certain attitude of God's existence, considered herself a follower of Goddess.

But this was a clear mistake.

Speaking of what was a mistake, I would have put what I thought into my mouth as a question.

"Yes?"

Lucea, who became a loud and low voice, abandoned her ever calm face and stared at Asha with a clear anger.

Unexpectedly stiffens the body, Asha.

It's disqualification as a high-ranking adventurer not to set up, not to run, but to stiffen your body.

There is naturally a reason why Asha was stiff.

(I can't! You can't beat someone like this!

In a nutshell, he lost his temper in Lucea's murder.

If you instinctively realize that combat and escape are pointless, it would also make sense that there is only so much you can do later as stiffen your body.

"I didn't expect to be made with such an unpleasant religion...... Well, I don't know, so I can't help but say... I don't have a second time. We are not goddesses. Is that good?

"Yes..."

Lucea is also largely broken, so I don't know the details.

But if Asha asked me if I had any other options than to snort on this occasion, of course not.

"Then what the hell is Mr. Lucea's God...?

"Let's talk about it."

"Okay..."

If the conversation didn't go on, Asha decided to listen to her very carefully when she realized she couldn't understand anything.

(If it's not goddess, it's the second most powerful..., but I haven't put a symbol on it, so I guess the third one...?

And from several other religions in his head, he was beginning to speculate on the religion to which Lucea belonged.

I made many kinds of candidates in my head, but Asha doesn't know that there is no right answer as one of them......

"We'll move on. First of all, Mr. Asha, how far do you remember?

"It was before you went to bed, wasn't it? I don't know... until I lost the Maneaters, lost the Devils, and started eating."

Asha said Maneater, but precisely Giganto Maneater.

Giganto Maneater is a disastrous demon that has appeared in a country of the Union of Ato Nations.

It was a huge plant, a vicious demon eating anything.

Although Asha headed for the crusade as an A-rank adventurer, she was left powerless to lose.

In a nutshell, Asha's style of combat is called The Demon Man (Tamer).

Fight demons together as your own obedience by their skills.

But his death battle with Giganto Maneater has cost him all of his obedience.

I made a report of defeat by reaching the city and there was talk of Giganto Maneater being crusaded while he was being treated.

Sadly and remorsefully complicated by the fact that he lost his obedience, but that other adventurers crusaded it easily, Asha decided to do it and eat it briefly.

Apparently, memories are obscured from the area.

"Really? You seemed more burdensome than I thought."

"Burden?"

"Yeah, briefly, you're a man-eater, and your official name is Giganto Man-eater, right? And I was cursed."

"Curse?"

Asha tilts her neck to a word she can't hear.

I know something exists that says < spell >, but because it didn't match Giganto Maneater's impression.

"Yes, no matter how much you eat, it's a curse that won't fill your stomach"

"Ugh!"

Asha, who suddenly had a headache, squatted holding her head down.

Calmly retrospective memories remind me, just a little bit at a time, of vague parts.

"Yes...... I ate and couldn't stop eating when someone else stopped me..., eh, enslaved me?

"Have you finally remembered? Yes, you chose to be my lord's slave."

"Lying... right...?

Asha with the face I said I couldn't believe it.

That would be natural, too. Being a slave means entrusting others with the full right to their own survival.

I don't see it as a sanity shack, such as choosing that for yourself.

And within the ambiguity of my own consciousness, I was choosing to be a slave for nothing but a nightmare, in a tangible way.

"That's right! Collar!... no! Slave print!... no! What, was that a joke..."

Those who have become slaves are given either a 'slave collar' or a 'slave print'.

Having confirmed those two, Asha checks her own neck and back and leaks a relieved breath into the absence of either.

"It's not a joke or anything. Look at your back again."

"Huh...? Why, just now..."

Asha, told by Lucea and checking her back again, loses her word when she sees the enslavement imprint engraved there.

I thought I might have seen it wrong when I checked earlier, but I didn't even check all that firmly, so I can only assume it showed up after I checked.

You're an A-rank adventurer, aren't you?

"Ugh, yeah......"

"When the slave print becomes public, that qualification will be disqualified. It is the Lord's concern to hide the imprint of slavery so that he is not found to be a slave."

"What, it..."

Saying that you can hide slave prints, etc., is not in Asha's known common sense.

Asha could only be confused because she did not understand what had happened to her.

"Next, let me answer a question that says' Where am I '? This is an Advanced Chamber of Commerce store in the city of Norkt. That's the residential part of it, to be exact."

"Huh? The Advanced Chamber of Commerce has been growing in strength lately, you know...? I mean, you didn't have a store like that in Norct!?

Asha is an adventurer who focuses on Norct.

If Asha had a new store in Norkt, which is now famous within the Union of Athens, it would be strange if it hadn't been in Asha's ear.

"Yeah. I got permission yesterday and it was done by the end of yesterday. Oh, it's already been a day since you slept. You'll start making it the day you fall asleep, and it'll be done."

……

Asha finally stopped (freezing) beyond the limits of her processing power because of all the things she heard about being out of common sense.

At the same time, the sheet on which Asha was covering her body falls harrowed and her limbs are exposed again.

"This building was built by those who serve God, just like me."

"So..., Mr. Lucea's God made you build this building?

"That's right about here. But as for the other stores, we built them for the Lord."

"With that said, I've been saying Lord for a while now, but a different man from God before that?

"It's the same way. Mine, and your master, the owner, and my God."

"Hmmm.... is that my husband?!? The person!?

Asha absurds her voice to information about her own husband, revealed as if it were nothing.

Lucea said he and Asha's master, and Lucea's God, were the same person.

"Oh, you forgot to tell me"

"Huh? What do you do?

Lucea, who took off her clothes, shows Asha her dewy back.

There was nothing there but beautiful skin.

But after a while, a slave imprint came up on her beautiful back that she didn't deserve.

"No way, is Mr. Lucea a slave, too?

Unexpectedly, Asha touches her own back.

At the same time, there were parts of me that were convinced.

If slave prints have appeared like that, it's only natural that you didn't notice them the first time.

"Yes. I am also a slave to the Lord. I have been saved by the Lord and I am going to give my faith as it is."

"... what's my husband like?

Asha unexpectedly questions Lucea, who answers with her maid clothes back on.

There is no doubt that it is a ton of demonstrators that can be completely ignored, such as Asha's knowledge of common sense.

Besides, as far as Lucea's faith goes, I guess this is still a prelude.

"I'll educate you about that later, so I'll learn more about it then"

"Education, what...?

"Of course, I teach you what you have to remember in serving the Lord"

"Ugh, study..."

Asha unwittingly finds herself when she hears the word education.

Asha herself knows best that Asha is not so smart.

"In the first place, what's gonna happen to me? What can you make me do?

I am not sure I will be allowed to engage in the kind of work my brain is required to do.

If you ask me if that's why I'm good at fighting, I'll remain a little anxious on my own when my obedient is gone.

"I have some candidates. First of all, the first candidate, naturally this is the most likely one, but the Lord is the man in the carriage."

"The man?"

Asha questioned the fact that the first candidate for a job she would leave to herself, even if she were an A-rank adventurer, was a common profession, saying 'The Carriage Owner'.

At the same time, he was relieved that it was not an overly harsh job.

"Yeah, you're highly skilled at number one as far as I know. It would be appropriate. Actually, it's a chance to put a maid on it, but if there's a difference in skill levels so far, it'll be quicker to raise Asha."

"Skills or levels? About what?

"I'll explain that later, too. Your second candidate is joining the clan, right? Some of me, the Lord, are adventurers. I'm thinking about asking you to join me there. The third candidate is the maid. Just like me, I manage the mansion, take care of the Lord, and I work for the Advanced Chamber of Commerce."

Lucea put Asha's doubts behind her and explained them to the third candidate.

Though I would be in a position to say slave, the closest thing to life so far would be the second candidate's 'clan participation'.

Asha did not join the clan because she liked to travel easily with her obedient demons.

Of course, there were times when I was invited, but I refused.

"Of course, no matter how many candidates you consider here, it will change as the Lord says."

"Oh, yeah."

"Yeah, everything the Lord wants it to be"

Lucea's remarks also led Asha to understand.

Here, say, 'Your husband takes precedence over everything'.

When I say study, I guess it includes things around it.

A further chase was made by Lucea as she was darkened by the information packed shortly after she moaned.

"Oops, it's about time"

"About what?

"It's a natural dish."

Ouch. It just hurt!

Not knowing what Lucea was trying to say, Asha tilted her neck.

At the next moment, Asha is struck by a sudden abdominal pain and squatts while keeping her belly down.

"You're right about Alta. Mr. Asha, you were eating a ton of meals before you became a slave to the Lord. Typically, food is digested and excreted over a day after eating. It's about a day since you were brought here. Now, you know what I'm trying to say?

Lucea squeaks pale as she looks at Asha's hundred faces.

In short, Asha suffered from a stomachache caused by convenience.

Technically, the time between diet and excretion is a little wider, but I'll leave that for now.

"Ugh, hiccup, hiccup... T, where's the bathroom...?

"You exit the door, left, down the stairs where you went right through the rampage, next to the stairs upstairs. This is the fourth floor, by the way."

"Oh, so far away!?... Fugu!

Even though she was attacked by tremendous hassle, Asha asked where the toilet was.

But what returned was too merciless and cruel an answer.

"I mean..., fuggy, this..., uhh, deliberately, right?!?

Of course, on purpose.

Even though he became a slave and could no longer resist his husband, Asha may originally have A-rank adventurer, pride halfway through.

Lucea has a duty to keep her husband safe and comfortable in the service she serves.

You can't keep someone with bad pride close to their husband.

Thus, Lucea first decided to smash Asha's pride to pieces.

I took my clothes off and put them in a white-colored room to highlight the damage in case it leaked.

Even children are embarrassed to see a pair of trendy futons.

Is it something that a woman of her age can endure by being made public of her own disorientation (strength)?

Finally, coffee has a diuretic effect.

Slightly different from convenience, but for pursuit.

It goes without saying that it is a room far from the bathroom.

That said, it's not good to have such a stain on the stronghold to dedicate to my husband (just to the filth).

So Lucea takes out an item that is both a remedy and a stomach.

"If you like, use this one"

"No way..., stuffed..."

That's how Lucea took it out was white, yes imitating a white bird......

"Oh, my God..."

OMARU.

OMARU is a portable toilet for toddlers to use.

It is often used relay after the toddler's diapers have been removed, until the general toilet is used.

It may also be used when the lifeline stops, such as in a disaster, because it can be used in addition to toddler use or in difficult conditions to go to the toilet.

But what Lucea took out this time was clearly something for toddlers among the OMARUs.

OMARUs mimicking white ducks are particularly famous among the OMARUs for toddlers.

The size is no problem for adults to use.

How exactly did the producer feel about creating this?

"Me, can you use that...?

"No, I won't force you to be 'use it'. Only, 'if you don't mind'. You can either use it or leak it without using it. (... Either way, I think it breaks my heart)"

"Ugh, Ugh..., Phew!

Asha is afraid of Lucea, who speaks pale, but his convenience smears it.

"Come on, choose!

"Ugh..."

"Come on!"

"Ugh..."

"Come on!"

Asha reached weakly for the OMARU that was in Lucea's hand......

That day, Asha's heart broke completely.
