I immediately decided to buy a dark elf criminal slave.
The price is 16 million CL. The price of a brilliant blacksmith's egg is far from the price.
"Then we will have a slave contract."
Philip said and took out a piece of paper. It is a contract used for slavery magic. I've seen it on Mevion. Masters and slaves contracted using slavery magic skills will not be able to take any action that does not conform to the contents of that contract. It's not a matter of breaking the contract, but a mysterious coercion that "doesn't break". Well, there are actually many tricks to break without penalty ...
By the way, slavery magic must have been a unique skill of a specific NPC that appeared several times while proceeding through a story without a mevion. Of course, the NPC was not Philip, and players could not learn. In other words, in this world, the conditions for acquiring NPC-specific skills are newly set, and there are a plurality of non-NPC people who can handle NPC-specific skills.
"What is the content of the contract?"
Oops, I didn't read. What what? The following agreement is concluded between the master and the slaves (hereinafter, Party A and Party B). First of all, we are obliged to provide you with proper and reasonable clothing, shelter, and support obligations at a level that does not impair human dignity.
... Yeah, I see. I read briefly, but in short, it's like "the master can treat slaves humanely, and the slaves are obedient to the master." It is decent content.
There is only one concern. It is the last item added.
"That kiku, you can't attack any human."
Well, this is tough. It may be light for the ex-assassin, but if someone hits you, you might be attacked ...
"What can I do about this?" "Yeah, it's an instruction from the country, so ...
Philip creates a bitter look.
"I can't help it. I'm asking for a contract with this content."
Well, it is limited to "humans", so if you can attack even monsters, there is no problem earning experience value. I was reluctant and signed the contract. Dark Elf slaves also sign.
When Philip sees it, he activates slavery magic.
Something invisible connects me and the dark elf. It is quite a new feeling. Her thin and well-shaped eyebrows moved.
"The slave contract has now been concluded. Thank you for your purchase, Second. We look forward to seeing you all again."
The contract ends easily. The dark elf, unraveled from the chain, walks up here and stands upright behind me diagonally.
“…………”
I wonder what. It ’s really awkward.
"You, what's your name?" "No," "Oh, Gozaimasen, we're going back to the reception room." "... I don't have a name."
My whole gag didn't work. On the contrary, this dark elf has a stunned face. She's a slave but a savvy guy.
...... but without a name. What kind of life did you live?
"It's a joke, but it's hard to call me this way. Can I give my name?"
Hmm, hey name ... dark elf, brown, nice buddy ... purple hair, purple, purple, violet, purple, purple ...
I put my arms on the spot and snarled for about 5 minutes, screaming, and decided on her name.
"What about Yukari?"
That said, her eyes were opened, albeit only slightly.
"I see. I'm Yukari. Thank you, Master."
Yukari bowed beautifully. It was such a beautiful work that I was about to bow back.
"Second. I'll introduce my friends later."
I was a little upset by the word "master", but hurried to Sylvia and Ecology, turning away from Yukari to not realize it.
Yukari calmly follows behind. As expected, he should not be a former assassin or feel a footstep.
"I'm back." "Oh, second lord. I've found a good blacksmith."
Returning to the reception room, Sylvia greeted her, saying that her eyes were in line with Yukari and her words stopped.
"... Second lord. No way, that beautiful dark elf woman"
Sylvia has collapsed. "The woman blacksmith is unexpected." "Why didn't consider that possibility." "And big!"
"I'm eco-friendly! Yukari, thank you!" "Thank you, Eco-sama." …… Thank you very much for the eco. ”“ Yeah! ”
Eco-community is terrible. Still, Yukari who does not change his expression and keeps calm is also amazing.
"He's Sylvia. Oh, he's a great archer."
I'll introduce it for now. Yukari tilted her head, "Magician?", But nodded when she said, "I know it."
"Then we'll buy Yukari's horses and clothes before returning to the town of Peho, and we'll have a meeting about the future."
I leave Maurice Shokai on my lead.
In this way, the blacksmith egg Yukari joined the group.
… At first I was nervous. But it was different.
On the way to the town of Peho, I talked about various things to deepen fellowship with Yukari.
The result does not sound and does not fly.
No matter what I say, Yukari is expressionless and responds very quaintly or rather sloppy.
It was the same thing not only me but also Silvia and Eco.
Are you killing your heart?
I don't know her.
The only thing I thought I did was to say "Gozaimasen".
Stunning gaze-the only emotional feeling she saw in the last half day was that alone.
I wasn't good at communication originally, but I'm already up.
Despite being a slave, she is a new friend. I want to get along if possible. If you don't have a good relationship, you may get away even if you train a good blacksmith.
What do I do ... I thought.
And. After all, you always end up with this answer.
I'll ask you straight ahead.
"Yukari. Can you hear your past?"
As soon as I arrived at the inn, I called Yukari into my room.
"Is that an order?"
In response to my question, Yukari calmly said so. His eyes are shaking slightly.
"If you don't want to say, don't say it."
"... I'll keep it quiet."
Refused. With a sharp.
I pretended to be calm and said, "I see. After fifteen minutes, it's dinner and we'll meet in the next room," and return her to the room.
It was a really short exchange.
"…………hehehehe"
Oops, a smile spilled involuntarily. But I didn't think there was any better harvest.
Yukari was the most emotional ever to answer my straightforward question.
It's upset, outrageous, guilty ... fear.
There is something in her past. Therefore she does not speak much and acts as a bland slave. And they are "frightened" to know the past.
The reason for hiding the past-probably related to working as an assassin.
But we already know. You know she is known.
So why hide? Why are you scared? Why do you act?
………….
"Oh, I see"
I suddenly came up with it.
It was when I was still number one in the world. "What are you doing, Mr. Seven?"
I don't want to say the truth. So you have to lie. I always returned, "I'm real estate."
Why was it hidden? This is because the current bland relationship breaks down. If you know that you are unemployed, then you will always see that kind of eye. It was scary. So I kept a distance from others. I was always acting. "I have time and money, so I'm the best in the world because I'm doing it in comfort."
… Yukari would not be that light reason. However, I think there are some parts close to me. The part that is looking away from reality.
"I can't accept it anyway," she says.
"I'm betting my life on Netoge? It's so wonderful!" She has given up, as there is no one to say that way.
If.
What we need to do to bring out her material.
Be convinced that "these people will definitely accept the past even if they reveal it."
difficult.
Very difficult, but worth trying.
"Good!"
I got up and got up.
Anyway it's dinner!
