Authors Note
The Black Elf chapter isnt a transexual (and again, I have no intention of doing any transexuals). Hypothetically, another reincarnator appears; I intend to have them have the same sex as they did in the previous world. I apologize for having written in a way that caused misunderstanding.

, this is the bedroom ?
When I woke up, I was in the bedroom in my house. I recognized the canopy above my bed.
I got myself up. Outside, the sun is setting; its becoming dark.
To think that I get to hear the name Tanaka Kouji in this world.
No, because I died, reincarnated and got to keep my memories from the previous world, I thought that there are other people like me too. But to think that its someone from the same world I didnt think that the name of someone related to me would come up.
Just who is that Black Elf?
No matter how hard I try to dig through my memories, I cant remember anything about her. She knew my name but not my face or so was her attitude.
Could there have been someone that let her know that Im a reincarnator?If so, then how does that person know Im a reincarnator? I dont understand their motive; why didnt that person come and meet me themself? Moreover, knowing that Tanaka Kouji and I are related, could it be that the person behind her is Tanaka Kouji himself ?If so. then why did he not not come see me himself? Generally, how does he know Im the reincarnated Hotta Youta ? Its unthinkable that he figured it out just from the fact that I develop guns
I sat up on the bed and let idle thoughts run over my mind. No matter how much I think its useless. To know the answer, I can only ask Xiah herself directly.
I sighed, got out of the bed, and went down the living room on the 1st floor. Snow, Chrisse and Meiya were drinking tea. Seems like they were waiting for me to wake up.
Snow, who has good ears, knew I was coming down from the 2nd floor, then she spoke with a worried expression the moment I enter the room.
Is it okay to get up already ? Yea, Im okay. My bad for making you all worried.
I patted Snows head. Chrisse poured me a cup of warm chacha. I patted her head too.
I flopped down on the sofa and drank the chacha in one go. The leaves scent, the slightly astringent taste and the warmth have revived me.
Please raise your head. Actually, Im the one who should apologize for causing trouble yesterday. I wont show such an unsightly display again, so can I see yesterdays slave, Xiah, one more time? If shell allow it, Ill be sure to buy her. W, were of course grateful for that but will it really be all right? Yes, please. Understood. Ill call her right away then; please wait a little while.
Enos left the reception room in a hurry. Then a little over 10 minutes later, Xiah showed up held in between the same two guards as yesterday. A magic-prevention collar was on her neck. Her arms and legs were restrained with sturdy chains, and she was wearing ragged clothes top and bottomjust like yesterday.
I stood face to face with her and asked:
Xiah, I want to buy you. So, I want you to somehow accept me as your master. Of course, Im not going to be rough. Ill release you if you desire it. I just want you to answer a few questions. . hmm, despite how you look, you gather up a lot of money quickly. Did you borrow from that genius magic-tool inventor over there?
I nodded. Xiah looked down at me and laughed through her nose.
So in the end, thats all you are. Looks like you dont have what it takes to be my master, either. Is that how a Fairy race, and a slave at that, talks to Lute-sama who ranks higher than the gods!? Know your place! Meiya, be quiet. B-, but Lute-sama!
I said be quiet. I-, Im sorry.
My tone was unexpectedly cold. Meiya shuddered like a puppy that was drenched in the rain. That was a bit too cold. Ill apologize to her later. But before that, I shouldbuy Xiah no matter how.
So, how do you suppose youll accept me as your master? Lets see In that case, show your strength by fighting me. If you can win, Ill recognise you as my [Master]. Alright. Lets do it. If I win Ill have you accept me as your master. Dont take back your words if you lose. *tch*! Dont look down on me! Theres no way Ill do something that preposterous! Then lets set up the conditions in detail.
I ignored the exasperated Xiah and indifferently continued the discussion.
Xiah and I totally ignored everyone else and decided on the conditions for the matchThe match will be a hand-to-hand fight without magic. That was because Xiah had a magic-prevention collar attached. Blinding and groin attacks are forbidden. The one who faints or lost the will to fight loses. The location for the fight is the [Brutus Slave House], first floor. That place is solidly built, and if you clean up the resting space in the middle, it will be wide enough for a fight. Its completely surrounded by walls, so we wont cause trouble outside the store.
Of course, the representative of the staff of the [Brutus Slave House], Enos, has something to say.
L-, Lute-sama, please do something that would damage the goods like that after the purchase. Also, well be in trouble if you fight here. Well be using the first floor now, so gather up the chairs in the rest area and put them aside. N-, no, well lets do something like that once weve written up the contractwait! Why do I have to use honorifics towards a slave!? Sorry, please let us use the first floor. Please. Its certainly still early, so there are no other customers, but this place is used together by the slavers guild so I cant Please.
Rather than my urging, it was probably Meiya who was sitting next to me with a glare that said So,youre also going to deny the divine Lute-samas request? You want to die? You want to lose your place to live in the Dragon Continent that had had a better effect on him? Enos gave in.
Ugu, w-, why do these things always happen to me. I was yelled at by Meiya-sama yesterday, too; it was horrible. Alright! But dont go complaining to me, whether you win or lose! Also Xiah, after this fight Im definitely going to let you go! Ive had enough of this jinx of a slave! Dont ever show your face in front of me again!
We were able to get the [Brutus Slave House]s representative Enos permission. Thus begins the hard fight of Me vs Xiah.
As said at the start, its not transexual. And again, I have no intention of writing transexual. Hypothetically another reincarnator appears, they will have the same sex as theirs in the previous world. I apologize for having written in a way that may have caused misunderstanding.
