CH 6

Rather than answering and clearing every single of the slaves’ questions and concerns about their role, it is faster to let them experience it for themselves. So, I ignored them and applied [Area Heal], a spell that restores the physique, and [Debuff Recovery], a spell that cures abnormal conditions, to all slaves within range.

The effect was astonishing. [Area Heal] could heal body defects and [Status Recovery] restored their complexions, which were green or blue due to deadly diseases, to healthier ones.

I thought the missing parts would not recover, but that was not the case. The sight of missing limbs growing back was a little unpleasant, but besides that, I was very satisfied with the spell’s effect.

And when I confirmed that I had successfully restored the slaves as expected, I created a pool using earth magic and poured hot water all at once with water magic.

“What are you looking at? Do something about your smelling body.”

“A… ah.”

While saying so, I grabbed a kid, about 12 years old, probably about the age of a middle schooler, right next to me by the wrist, forced him to stand up, and took off his clothes without his consent.

“… And you guys too, take it off quick.”

It didn’t take me long to find out the lack of a deity that should have been between his legs. I found out that the slave wasn’t a ‘he,’ but a ‘she.’ [EN: You probably know what this deity refers to.]

And by the time I realized what I’d done, it was already too late.

If this were Japan, there would be no excuse for mistaking the girl for a boy because of her short, shaggy hair, skinny body, and lifeless eyes.

In the first place, am I a devil for making a girl strip naked in a place where men might be present? That’s right, I myself would be a devil.

No, though a defective slave, even if he was a boy, it was still an ogre’s deed to make him get naked in front of his sisters.

However, I told myself that if I got upset here, my reputation as their master would shatter to pieces from the very first day, so I had to cover it up in the name of ‘if we all do it together, there will be no fear.’

And somehow, I already told everyone to strip naked.

But then I realized.

All of them were without their deities.

Officer, I’m here. [EN: Yes, officer, this line right here.]

I’ve done it.

“Ah, um… I—I’m done undressing.”

Just as I felt like escaping from the reality caused by my own devilishness, a woman about the height of a high-school student, probably the oldest of the group, reported having removed her clothes.

“Now, I want you all to get into this pool. Wash your bodies and hair.”

“ “Yes, master!” ”

I think I managed to order them to wash their bodies without showing a temper on my face.

I didn’t feel a speck of lust when I saw the naked bodies of those seven girls. Rather, I felt both anger and a desire to protect them at the sight of their skinny physique.
