Chapter 14: Great trader Golet-sama’s subordinate. Second part
“Lucia, come over here. There’s an interesting show.”
At my beckoning, the girl timidly came and hid behind my back.
We watched Rile who was rolling down on the earth.
It was a spectacle as if we were looking a clown show from above.
“It’s you, Lucia isn’t it!? Guooooooo! Do you think a slave like you can look at me with condescending eyes!? You won’t be forgiven! You wench and that man aswell!”
“Fuh, what are you talking about. You’re wrong. Lucia isn’t a slave anymore. She’s a precious child of this orphanage. Rather I won’t forgive if you lay a hand on her.”
Lucia tightly clinged to my arm when I said that.
“Impossible! Do you think we’ll let such outrage pass!? Is that not the slave that Golet-sama bought!? Since you haven’t done the slave cancellation legally in front of the law it would be obvious that we were right!”
Rile was arguing it about desperately.
But, I curtly replied to him.
“Unfortunately for you, I don’t recognize slavery.”
“… Ha?”
At my unexpected words Rile let out an idiotic expression.
“I do not approve of it hence it is invalid.”
“What are you on about! Surely the country does…”
“Because I am greater than the country, so if I say it’s bad then it will be invalided. I do not recognize slavery. Hence, I don’t recognize your claim either.”
“As if I’ll believe in such a ridiculous story!”
“On the contrary, you are in conflict with my laws.”
“Wh, what!?”
“Parties who hurt the children at the orphanage will become slaves so that they may know the pain of the weak people. Rile, for alas from today onwards you’ll be a slave.”
I was speaking of mercy.
To my words Rile was screaming in objection.
“A slave you say!? This me who is Golet-sama’s subordinate!? Wahahaha, what nonsense are you speaking!?! There is no way for somebody like me to become a slave!”
“How about it, Mira. I think it’s a bit troublesome but can you take this guy as a slave to the Demon King’s country. It’s a personal request from me.”
“Yes, there’s no problem. To be able to receive a personal request from Masatsugu-sama and to do it would be a great honour. I’ll immediately bring him home with me to Demon king’s country. Whether you go mad or be eaten by the monsters in your head, I won’t know but if you are lucky you will survive for about a year.”
“Eh…?”
“What, you still don’t understand the situation? Right now you are about to become a slave. You’ll never step on human land ever again, giving up your humanity is important. It’s an unfortunate thing.”
Finally understand what I just said, he let out agonizing cries.
“That can’t be!? Please, help me! Why is this happening to me?!?!?”
To the agonizing Rile replied the demon being Mira.
“Oi be quiet. You are infront of Masatsugu-sama, y’know? Making anymore noise infront of your master is bad, y’know?”
“Shut up! What lord! How dare you a demon being instruct me! Do you even know who yo— Giiiiiiiiiiii”
Before Rile-sama can finish what he was saying Mira grabbed him by his hair and swung with brutal strength.
Naturally, everytime she swung you could hear sounds of hair strands falling down.
“Gyaaaaaa… Stop, stop, stop, stop”
“Fuu, can not be helped. Disciplining her slave is a masters duty. Time to go home for today. Masatsugu-sama, I’ll come back a different day.”
After saying that Mira elegantly bows and grabs Rile by the hair and flies away in the air.
Naturally, Rile who was caught like and flied with her, you could hear sounds from his hair being torn by pieces but Mira didn’t care at all.
“I don’t want tooooooo! Return me homeeeeeeeeeee! This must be a lieeeeeee!”
Rile screams his desperation loudly but Mira just flies higher without any worries.
“Lucia, you might feel sorry for him, but take a good look. That is their just due for those who hurt other people. Even if I do not do it, somebody else would punish him. Rather than being enslaved, he could’ve been killed. I did not kill him but made him a slave by giving him a opportunity to understand that what he has been doing is foolish.”
On my words, Lucia gave me a relieved look. It feels like she noticed my profound thoughts.
“Master, you’re truly kind. Even to a cruel man like him, you are giving him a chance to rehab?”
While nodding I shrugged my shoulders.
“But, this is how far I’ll do. The rest is upon him. While being a slave, it’s up to him whether he can repent or not. For example even if he dies from a brutal way in the Demon king’s country as long as he was able to repent even a little then he had some value as a human being.”
She was deeply impressed by my words and looked at me with respect.
“Amazing, to think so much about somebody else…”
“Well, it’s not as grandious as you think.”
At my words she shook her head. It seems we can’t get to agree.
Well, it’s fine as it is.
I didn’t really do it so I can be praised.
“By the way, Lucia. Are you becoming less afraid of Rile and Golet?”
On my words Lucia looked up to me with an “Ha” expression. It seems she finally noticed my true intentions.
“Everything all this for me!?”
I slightly nodded.
Afterwards Lucia started sobbing.
“Master… Lucia… Lucia is very gwatefuw…”
“It’s no big deal. Rather it’s more natural that I will protect my precious girls?”
When she heard my words she genuinely cried and she buried her head in my chest and continued crying.
“My life was to meet Master. Everything uptil now has been overwritten by Master. My life was born today and from now I want to be forever with Master.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
I thought she was overexcited a bit so I urged to calm down a bit.
But she was not listening me at all and continued saying that she was mine.
Nothing to be done, she is still a kid.
While thinking such things, I kindly stroked her head.
