Chapter 107 - Slave’s Weak Point
Chapter 107: Slave’s Weak Point
Just in case something happened I had Maya guard Khorkina back to her country.
Svetlana, who had turned back into an Eternal Slave, was left behind.
I returned back to Ribek with her and went to the palace.
「Ku!」
I entered first when I heard a sound from Svetlana behind me.
When I turned I saw her stuck as if she had hit a pane of glass.
After I thought for a bit, I remembered.
「Sorry, there’s an absolute barrier around the palace.」
I reached out my hand to her and helped her up.
「Absolute barrier?」
「It keeps anyone I don’t give permission outside. It is indestructible from the outside.」
Even using a full power strike from True Eternal Slave didn’t work.
It might not be an accurate comparison, but I don’t think that a shot from the battleship Risha’s main cannons would break it either.
「There’s such a thing……but I came here before and could get in?」
「I gave you permission back then and…huh?」
I thought for a moment.
The permission for entering the barrier was as simple as turning it on or off.
However, there shouldn’t be a time limit. At the very least there hadn’t been any proof of a time limit on permissions.
Martha’s permission hadn’t ended even though I had given it to her so long ago. She had no issue entering.
And yet Svetlana was repelled.
……Is it because she was reborn?
「Whatever, just wait a moment. I’ll let you in.」
I gave her permission and allowed her inside.
She walked through and we went to the office.
I sat down in my seat and looked at Svetlana once more.
Golden hair, pointed ears, smooth white skin…she wasn’t any different looking than a regular Eternal Slave. However, her impression before was of a calm and collected girl, with her short hair, long sharp eyes, and tone of voice. You might have even said she seemed cold hearted.
But right now-she was blushing while looking at me with moist and teary eyes.
It was different from a look of sexual excitement…it was more like the look a fan would give an idol when they finally met them in person.
I could understand. It was her way of showing that she wanted to be mine.
「Ok then, where to start the talk…」
「P-please make me your……」
「Don’t worry, that’s already been decided. You’ll be mine.」
Actually I have absolutely no reason to refuse.
I knew that Eternal Slaves were the most admirable and lovable creatures in this world.
As I said that, Svetlana was visibly relieved.
I continued speaking.
「You will be my slave, I was just wondering how to teach you the rules and tasks and other things.」
「I’ll never disobey Master’s orders.」
「That’s obvious. It doesn’t even need to be said…right?」
「……N-no. that’s how it should be.」
Ok then, where to start.
Should I start from my objective?
Then maybe I should make an example with my DORECA while explaining the theories and principles of things? Until a while ago that was the best choice, but maybe now it would be easier to make her a Slave Card and have her learn by experience.
That’s right, for now let’s make her a Slave Card.
I took out my DORECA.
「Menu Open」
I chose the Slave Card (Normal) and created the magic circle.
「…………」
I looked at Svetlana’s face and stopped.
She seemed very uneasy.
This was wrong, all wrong.
The order was incorrect.
「……man what was I thinking. I was mistaken.」
I smiled bitterly.
「Eh? Mistaken?」
「It’s just I’d forgotten my initial resolution.」
「???」
Svetlana tilted her head in confusion.
……that was no good.
I made her uneasy, I made her feel nervous.
I need to set her at ease.
I can’t do things like this to my slaves.
I chose something else from the list.
Slave Choker, I created it from nothing for 10x the magic power cost.
Then I held it out to her.
「Svetlana」
「Wh-what?」
「Please smile.」
「Eh?」
「That’s the most important thing if you are to be mine. You should be smiling and happy as much as you can.」
「Fun…happy…smiling……」
I placed the choker around her neck as she seemed a little troubled.
This type of troubled face wasn’t bad but……before that I want her to smile.
「S-smile~」
Svetlana said making an awkward smile.
—Magic has been charged by 100,000—
Svetlana, who wasn’t used to smiling, was both adorable and lovable.
