Chapter 26: Three People and One Creature

Chapter 26: Three People and One Creature

We returned to the mansion using Papeck-san’s carriage.

The three of us entered the mansion and relaxed in the living room.

「For starters, there are 3 vacant rooms on the second floor, Sophia-san and Maria-san please choose from those.」

「Master, please address me simply as Sophia.」

「That is right, Master. Master, you will be looked down upon if you treat slaves in such a manner.」

As soon as we returned home, I had suddenly been given advice by Sophia-san and Maria-san. It seems that the Master – Slave relationship must properly be upheld.

I don’t think of it as a “Master and Slave”, but Sophia and Maria, ...... this is awkward.

「Also, one room per person is too luxurious for a slave.」

「No, there are many rooms so use them. Ah! I forgot to introduce you. Kaede, come out.」

Kaede came out of the Subspace, and got on my lap as I sat on the sofa.

「............u–umm, M, master, th-that is...」

Sophia and Maria were pale faced and staring at Kaede.

「This one’s name is Kaede. It’s my familiar, so do get along.」

「Familiar......, Master, that, is a Killer spider is it not?」

「Oooh, as expected of an elf, you know it well.」

「No, the incredible one is Master. An escort is unnecessary if Kaede is around; I’m losing confidence.」

Afterwards, I toured them around the mansion, and explained how to use the toilet and the bath.

「I-is it alright for u-us to use the bath as well?!」

「This is my first time seeing a bath!」

After showing them and telling them that they’re free to enter the bathroom, Sophia and Maria’s spirits became ridiculous.

「Sophia-san, it’s soap!」

「It’s true! What a nice scent.」

The excitement of the two wouldn’t settle down, they kept touching the magic device and dispensing hot water. The hot water vigorously flowed, and in a few minutes the hot water had filled the tub.

「I’ll prepare the towels, you guys bring a change of underwear, and it’s fine to go in one at a time or together.」

「For Master to not come with us, and for slaves to enter first, you say.」

「That’s right, Master!」

Come on, the appeal of the faces of these two who want to enter the bath. Un, honesty is best.

「I take a bath just before sleeping so it’s alright.」

「Then I will take your word for it.」

「Me too, I’ll go in first.」

Sophia and Maria ran to get underwear brought with them from the slavery company. Even though Sophia is one-legged.

And then, that time came.

〈The 「Light Attribute Magic」 Skill has leveled up〉

「Haaa, it finally went up.」

I returned to the mansion and Maria was preparing dinner.

「Ah, Master, preparations for dinner will be done very soon.」

「Thank you.」

The three of us ate dinner, then I took Sophia to her room.

「What’s the matter, Master?」

「Well, it’s fine, it’s fine.」

Sophia sat on the bed.

I kneaded a concentration of magic power and constructed a magic formula.

『Extra Heal』

A change suddenly wrapped light around Sophia’s body.

「Ah!」

Sophia let out a groan.

Sophia’s right arm started regenerating, her ear returned to its former state, and her foot’s regeneration proceeded at a quick pace. Sophia’s arm, leg, and ear had regenerated right before my eyes.

Maria covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.

「Wha! ...............M, Masterrrr~!」

Sophia’s exceedingly beautiful face distorted and she burst into tears.

「Waa~ I’m so tiiired~」

「I-is Master a priest?」

Maria spouted absurdities.

In the end, it took some time before Sophia could regain her composure.

Washing her tear-stained face, Sophia then fell to her knees in front of me.

「I will dedicate eternal loyalty and devotion to Master.」

「Sophia, raise your head. I healed your body for my sake. So raise your head, Sophia.」

「This is wonderful, isn’t it, Sophia-san.」

We’ll talk about what’s to come tomorrow, Sophia will rest today. Her lost limbs were healed, but having not moved very much for a very long time, Sophia’s stamina did not return to how it used to be.

「Good night, Sophia. Good night, Maria.」

「「Good night, Master.」」

They’ve got to change their way of calling me “Master”.

Being called “Master”, no way~ this isn’t a maid cafe.
