For Sale. Fallen Lady. Never Used.

Chapter 5: I Bought It, So I’m Relieved (1)

“Wow…”

Mana Sensory Inability had definitely been removed.

And one of Carla’s functions had now decreased.

What was left was knowledge about magic and… And perhaps this body of mine that I had never used before.

“Hehe…”

An involuntary smile leaked out for a moment.

My eyes suddenly went to the new trait.

Lintblum Mana Core (C)

“Huh?”

The Lintblum Core was a C grade?

The Mana Core trait was a growth-type characteristic, with its initial grade, growth speed, and growth limit determined by the corresponding mana breathing technique.

The better the breathing technique you learn, the higher the starting grade, the faster the growth, and the higher the grade it could evolve into.

In that sense, while the Lintblum breathing technique was good, it shouldn’t start at C grade right after being passed down, right?

In the game, the skill book dropped from Carla, so I never inherited it directly, but I do remember that its maximum growth was A grade.

That being said, if you inherit it, you should normally receive a D or E grade assessment.

Intrigued, I opened the detailed description window.

Lintblum Mana Core (C)

Description: Despite being born with Mana Sensory Inability, this was a special form of core devised by a genius who had reached the heights of an Archmage.

It possessed sufficient potential to aim for higher realms.

A competent senior carefully passed it down to a junior. The initial grade increased by one level.

“Ah.”

It seemed Carla must have put in some extra effort.

As I casually looked back, our eyes met while Carla was quickly wiping sweat from her forehead.

Carla then smiled in utter satisfaction.

…Why was she acting so carelessly and joyfully when she was nervous just a moment ago?

It wasn’t like she was sticking her neck out to be devoured or anything.

Anyway, it was more than just her following orders; she actively helped me. So, she deserved some proper praise.

Just as one would for a big dog, I roughly patted Carla’s platinum blonde hair.

“You’ve done well. Thanks to you, the results exceeded my expectations.”

“Hehe.”

A somewhat awkward reaction, but I could sense the undeniable anticipation hidden within her.

“Um… Master? Did I do well?”

“Of course.”

“Then… can I receive a reward?”

“A reward? Don’t worry. I’m the type who always keeps promises.”

I assumed what Carla meant by ‘reward’ was that she wanted to eat to her heart’s content.

However, the word resonated with me in a slightly different way.

Having accomplished the biggest task, shouldn’t everything be fine now?

The exhilaration of becoming aware of my mana, the superiority of the master-subordinate relationship, and the sight of Carla drenched in sweat all pushed me forward.

As if entranced by something, I grabbed Carla’s slender shoulders, and then,

Twirl.

I pulled her toward me and spun her in half a circle.

“Huh?”

A flabbergasted sound as Carla ended up below me.

Her hair, seen up close, was finer and more shimmering than I’d imagined.

Such a delicate beauty, as if her platinum hair was actually melted and molded.

However, Carla’s real charm lay elsewhere.

“Master? Why are you…?”

Betrayal, emptiness, fear, and injustice—various emotions were melding in her ruby-colored eyes, which were trembling uncontrollably.

I’d wager that no gemstone could be as beautiful as Carla’s eyes.

With my palm on her cheek and my thumb softly touching her eyelid, I curled up the corner of my mouth into a sly grin.

“Why, you ask?”

Then, I pressed my upper body, now bare after taking off my shirt, closely against Carla’s chest.

Squeeze.

The softness felt clear even over her dress.

I whispered softly while enjoying the sensation.

“Because I bought you, so I should use you.”

Half-pushed by impulse, I spat out those words.

But I didn’t regret it. I had planned on this from the start.

How could I simply hold hands and sleep when I had a woman like Carla at my disposal?

Sure, to Carla, this would be like a bolt out of the blue.

Trembling, Carla asked me in a desperate tone,

“Master…? Weren’t you not into… night services?”

“I never said that.”

“But I worked hard… You said you’d give me a reward…”

“Let’s eat something delicious tomorrow. Just say what you’d like.”

“This isn’t what I meant by a reward!”

“Who gets to decide that isn’t you; it’s me.”

At this point, she must have realized there was no way out.

Tears began to well up in Carla’s red eyes.

“Wh-why…?”

“What are you crying for now?”

It made my resolve waver.

When she was like this, I had no choice but to give a command.

“[Stop.]”

“Sniff.”

The effect was immediate.

Carla clenched her mouth, and the overflowing tears soon ceased.

I gently wiped the remaining tears from her eyes with the back of my hand and lifted the upper part of the clothing that was covering her body.

As a bonus, I helped Carla to her feet.

With a glance, I momentarily observed her trembling chest as she hurriedly stood up. Then I looked down intently at her.

Though my transformed state was undone, my height was still slightly taller than Carla, which made this possible.

The problem was that, because she had lowered her head, I could only see the top of it.

Reaching out, I lifted Carla’s chin.

“Ah.”

At my touch, she flinched but obediently lifted her head, following my hand’s movement.

In her eyes, which were swirling with various emotions, only one remained: a deep-rooted fear.

“Carla.”

“Gasp!”

All I did was call her name, yet Carla trembled noticeably.

“You’re aware that what you did was a form of rebellion, right?”

“Yes…”

“And you know what happens to a slave who rebels against their master, don’t you?”

“I-I’m sorry… Hmph!”

I lifted my thumb and blocked Carla’s lips as she was about to plead reflexively.

The sensation was soft and moist on my fingertips.

Intrigued by the addictive touch, I softly stroked Carla’s lips as I spoke.

“Carla, there’s no need to apologize just yet. I’m an understanding master.”

“Huh?”

“You just became my slave, right? And it’s your first time. Of course, you’d be nervous, and probably scared. Yes, I can understand that. So, it’s okay.”

For some reason, Carla’s trembling increased, but I continued speaking unfazed.

“So, I’ll let you off this one time.”

“……”

“But you’ll have to undress yourself.”

“……!”

Her gaze wavered as if an earthquake had struck.

Slowly, I removed the finger that was blocking her lips and asked,

“Guess there’s no need for me to give a command this time, right?”

“…Yes.”

Carla nodded with a seemingly solemn expression.

Satisfied with her response, I sat back down on the bed.

To make her willing to act on her own without any coercive measures—was I not a top 1% master?

Praising myself inwardly while waiting, Carla lightly bit her lip and reached her hands behind her back. And then,

Swoosh.

Her dress flowed down in one go.

No wonder her chest’s movements had seemed so natural earlier. She must not have been wearing any underwear.

As the small scrap of fabric that could hardly be called clothing disappeared, Carla’s naked body was revealed.

“Ah…”

Carla instinctively tried to cover herself but soon realized her situation and slowly lowered her arms.

Thanks to that, I was able to admire her body leisurely.

Her skin was so fair it looked as if it would smear if touched, and platinum-colored hair flowed over it.

Perhaps unable to deal with her shame, her face and neck flushed red, but even that only accentuated Carla’s charm.

But one couldn’t look at the face forever.

With the sentiment of saving the best for last, I deliberately shifted my gaze downward.

“Ah, y-you can see everything…”

Carla muttered inadvertently.

Indeed, I could.

Firstly, her sizable breasts, then her light pink nipples, her slender waist, and her smooth yet slightly protruding belly due to the womb.

And also the tightly closed, intimate area situated under the light platinum-colored pubic hair.

All of Carla was laid bare before me.

Things she must’ve never shown anyone and kept well hidden until now. But now, they were just things I could do with as I pleased.

I stared intensely for a good while, as if making sure not to miss a single blemish, before finally standing up from my seat.

Having sat down to appreciate her, I was no longer satisfied with just that.

Thump.

“Ah!”

Carla’s breasts were much larger and softer than they looked.

Jiggly.

Even when I spread my fingers wide, my hands could not fully encompass the flesh that was now distorted in various ways following my movements.

How many times had I relished the feel of her skin as it flowed through my fingers?

Before long, something firm began to poke at the center of my palm.

“Oh.”

As I let go of Carla’s large breasts, which I had been manipulating, her erect nipples finally became visible.

Compared to the size of her breasts, her nipples weren’t that big.

However, perhaps sensitivity was proportional to size, for Carla’s nipples had become almost pathetically erect.

As I gently pressed them with my thumb.

“Ah!”

An immediate response leaped out.

So, this was her weak spot.

Like a beast biting its prey, I pinched her nipples with my thumb, tugged them around, and at times traced them gently, playing with her breasts insistently.

And not long after,

“Ah…!”

A voice full of distinct pleasure came from Carla.

When I discreetly looked up, I saw Carla making a facial expression I had never seen before.

Her clenched eyes had a thin film of tears, and her half-rolled-in lips were tightly sealed.

She was shivering intensely, almost pitifully, as if she were a naked person in extreme cold.

However, as I momentarily stayed still, perhaps she got curious about the reason.

Carla subtly opened her eyes.

“…Ah!”

And our eyes met immediately.

As if questioning when she had opened her eyes, she closed them again tightly.

Was this it?

Click, click.

Feeling it was about time, I lowered my pants along with my underwear.

And then, extending the area that had been stirring on its own towards Carla, I spoke,

“Carla.”

“…Yes!”

“Open your eyes.”

“Yes…”
