"How do you know all these details?""I was interested in Shouta so I did some investigations with my family's help."
"This information should be helpful to you, right?"
Claire looked at me smugly.
"I can be your undercover agent."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Like just how betrayed Shouta, if you found something more interesting than me then you will not even hesitate the slightest to betray me too."
"No, trust me I never felt such curious feelings before meeting you. I won't betray you."
'Maybe it's not that bad. With her connections, I can keep a tab on Shouta's actions. The protagonist must be monitored thoroughly.'
I closed my eyes as I gathered the slave magic in my index finger.
With my inheritance of the Great emperor in the previous world, basic spells like slave contracts were already something I was quite good at, but I never used them before as I found them too evil.
But with Claire, I could only be assured after using it.
Reciting some mysterious words, I put my index finger against her forehead.
"W-what is this tingly feeling?"
"Don't resist, it's a slave contract forbidding you to betray or cheat me."
"Slave contract?"
"I refuse!", she said decisively.
"Then die?" -I spoke with the same expressionless face.
Seeing my clear and serious eyes, she bit her tongue and let me complete the slave contract.
Because of her offering no resistance, the contract was concluded successfully.
'Oh gosh! First time for me to make a heroine my slave', I was feeling quite amused.
Claire, who realized that her mind was bound by some kind of strange seal, looked helplessly at me.
"You don't have to be so cautious with me, I already said I am curious about you and won't betray you!"
"Don't worry I won't restrict any of your freedombut if you have any malicious thoughts about me, you will suffer from an unimaginable pain."
"Okay, it's already done now, don't cry."
After giving Claire some instructions regarding monitoring Shouta 24/7 and inquiring about other trivial things I left her.
Of course, the most important thing was the same as what I mentioned to Mitshua.
-You must not have any form of intimate contact with Shouta after becoming my slave.
Call it me being hypocritical or too possessive, I just hate things that belong to me even temporarilybeing touched by others.
Whether Claire can live or not or if she can make me lift up the slave seal depends on her performance~
As soon as I parted from Claire, I felt a sudden surge of force rushing towards me.
With the luck devouring lotus rejoicing upon receiving the sudden influx, I knew it was Shouta's luck that I plundered from putting a slave seal on Claire.
I quickly came back to my room and sat cross-legged on the bed, digesting the energy that I plundered.
"Great, with this my strength has recovered a lot."
"I can already feel it, my inner injuries have healed a lot and strength has increased back to mid-third order."
"Just need to plunder one more opportunity and I will completely recover to my fourth-order strength."
I exhaled slowly as a plan formulated in my brain.
"With Claire's information, I really gained a lot!"
"The protagonist left his sister and mother to become a strong person admired by others"
"It's your usual routine, let me guess he will indeed become one of the strongest and then return home proudly."
"I am even suspicious that the younger sister of his is not blood-related and she even harbours immortal forbidden feelings for him that's why she is working so hard to earn money for Shouta."
"When he will return after his successful trip I am sure the secrets between the brother and sister of not being blood-related will be out and the younger sister will be added to the harem."
"I need to target this younger sister."
"Tomorrow is going to be a hard day!"
After thinking of a suitable strategy I got up from bed and headed to the kitchen.
The sun was going downit was time to prepare dinner.
....
In a local club, Shouta was drinking with one of his friends.
"Hey Shouta, you are really a lucky guy!"
"Surrounded by two hot chicks all the time! Man! When are you gonna bed them?"
"Haha, things like this need to be done slowly, otherwise the future harem will be in turmoil, ahhahahaha!"
-Shouta laughed out aloud as he gulped another glass of wine.
"But you know today both of my girls paid attention to a strange boy."
"I not liked him, he seems to be handsome but you know, right?both Claire and Mitshua never paid attention to any other boy after meeting me.
Today both of them seemed to be a little bit off, not in their usual state!" seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
-Shouta spoke as the smell of alcohol stenched his mouth.
"My dear friend, you ought to be careful."
"Maybe that strange boy has bad thoughts about your girls", Shouta's friend tried to add fire.
"Nahhh, I believe them, those girls are head over heels for me! I don't believe any boy is capable of snatching them from me."
"If he daresI don't mind sending him to after life."
Just as Shouta was about to gulp another glass of wine, he felt a pain in his heart.
It was like something being forcefully torn from his heart.
It was the luck plundered by Elandor when he put the slave seal on Claire.
'Fuckk what is this pain?'
'I guess I drank too much and my liver is overloaded.'
"Let's stop, I think I drank enough."
With staggering steps and pain in his chest, Shouta got up and started heading to his luxurious house where he lived alone.
"I need to find an opportunity, I must sleep with Mitshua."
"Why do I keep getting this strange feeling that she will leave me?"
"His name was Elandor, right? I must pay attention to him tomorrow."
