Chapter 508 – A Slave I Met by Chance
It’s been a while since I went out into the city alone.
Because of the rain that fell until the afternoon, there were a lot of puddles everywhere.
I think it can be fun to stand still and watch busy people step on puddles and get angry.
I was walking down the street with somewhat childish thoughts,
Fighting-!
I opened my umbrella as the rain suddenly started falling again.
Among the people walking around on the streets, two or three out of ten did not have an umbrella.
Did you think the rain had completely stopped? If it’s the rainy season, I should always have an umbrella ready… It’s a shame.
As I clicked my tongue and walked forward, I saw a familiar silhouette in front of me.
A long dark blue ponytail that falls below the waist, tall legs, and a haughty expression…
There was only one person like that in the world.
I approached her, who was sheltering from the rain at the eaves of the entrance to the shopping mall, who was embarrassed by her sudden rain. I hid among the people, muffled the sound of her footsteps, and approached her.
Then he put an umbrella over her head.
“What?”
Then Lenka, with her curious voice her, turned her head back.
Matching her timing her, I looked down at her and saw her grinning her.
“What is it? “Your master.”
“W-what is it…? “Why are you here?”
She opened her eyes very, very wide as if she was really surprised.
It looks like he wasn’t even thinking about what I said.
“I came to buy something and saw the manager.”
“Are you following me?”
“I just ran into you by chance. What is this? Are you paranoid again?”
“No, not…”
“Let’s stop confronting the owner now.”
“What… Are you kidding me? “I was so crazy because I wanted to die… !?”
Lenka, who had raised her voice and glared at her, started and looked around her.
His personality is somewhat contradictory, as he is both hot-tempered and worried about causing trouble to those around him.
Still, it’s much better than someone who only looks ahead and says what they can and can’t say.
“But why is the manager here?”
I put my hand on Lenka’s back and pushed her forward, and when she came back out into the street, she cleared her throat and answered my question.
“I came here to buy something too…”
“Figure?”
“…”
I like that our Lenka gives all her answers with her facial expressions her.
In the past, she even lied and pretended that she wasn’t interested in shit, but now she admits it so I think it’s admirable.
I asked, looking at her stabbed and fed up with her.
“Among the new ones, there are some pretty ones, right?”
“Well… Somehow…”
“Like what? That two-headed guy?”
“No.”
“One seventh?”
“Uh.”
“Is it a female character? “What’s the name of the anime?”
“Shut up.”
“Why are you swearing?”
“I’m cursing because the intent of your question is obvious. “You tried to mock me.”
“It’s not like that.”
“How dare you lie? “I want to die…”
Mmmm. When I hear the grunting of Lenka, whom I met by chance, I feel strange.
“W-what…? “Don’t think strangely… !”
Lenka continued speaking urgently, as if reading my thoughts through my facial expression.
A slave who can sense his master’s emotions… That’s great.
After all, we are destined. Now I just need to change my tone of voice.
I said, putting my arm around Lenka’s shoulder and pulling her closer to her.
“Since we met, shall we go see the figures together?”
“I… Don’t like it.”
“Then let’s go together.”
“I said no, so why are you going with me?”
That’s because I know that you only say that but what you really mean is the opposite.
Our slave is very attentive, and he likes to be treated with consideration like this.
“It was noisy. Where were you going?”
“In front of there… You have to walk for about 3 minutes. No, but why are you here?”
“I came here to buy some daily necessities.”
“Daily necessities?”
“I also have to start preparing for the future now.”
“Okay…? What kind of daily necessities are you trying to buy?”
“A cage for slaves and this and that.”
“Do you want to die, you bastard? “Is the cage a necessity, you piece of trash?”
Seeing how angry he is, I am glad to see that he is still aware of his position as a slave.
“That’s right.”
“Why is that becoming a daily necessity, you crazy person…!”
“It’s a slave’s job to help their master, but the slave I have doesn’t seem to want to do that.”
“Who is your slave…! Kill? Really killing me!?”
“I never specified who the slave was, so why is the manager angry?”
“Everyone is saying that I am that slave…!”
Talk.
When she lowered her arm around Lenka’s shoulder and touched her chest with her fingertips, she started and quickly looked to her left and right.
Then she let out a sigh of relief and continued her words in an exasperated tone.
“Why are you doing this if someone sees it…!”
“I did it to make sure there were no people around, so could you please stop complaining? And what if you do something like this? Are we strangers?”
“In public places…”
“Do you hate me?”
“What…! First of all, listen to the end…!”
“You don’t like me?”
“I don’t like it…!”
“Then do you like it?”
“… Good… No, not good…!”
She must have thought I was trying to get her to answer, so she changed her words in a hurry.
I asked, giggling at the sight of Lenka doing cute things.
“Do you have anything to do today just buy figures?”
“There is.”
“What is it?”
“I’m going to meet a friend.”
“Who is your friend?”
“If I tell you, will you understand?”
“You know at our academy.”
“No, so don’t worry about it.”
“Are you a man?”
“Is it a girl. And what if you’re a man?”
“Then you’ll be in big trouble.”
“Are you such a funny kid? Why are you telling me not to date men when you meet so many women? If you are a slave, of course you have to follow your master’s words. Instead, speak straight.”
“That and this are different. “It’s okay because the people I meet are close to the manager.”
At those words, a snort filled with scorn escaped Lenka’s nose.
“What is he saying now. Of course, she is close with Chinami… But she has become very close with Hanazawa recently… But not with me, Asahi.”
“We can become friends from now on. Shall we go to the hotel again?”
“W-you crazy guy…! Are you kidding me?”
“Do you think it’s a joke?”
“You’re really out of your mind…? There is something wrong with you as a person…?”
“Think whatever you want.”
“You crazy bastard… It’s ridiculous, really…”
It sucks to see her complaining.
How big is the figure store?
If it’s a 3- or 4-story stand-alone building, I’ll have to do it on the emergency stairs.
**
“What…? “What’s wrong with your expression?”
A question from Lenka, who was carrying a large shopping bag containing two figures.
I glanced outside at the drizzling rain, opened the umbrella, and shrugged my shoulders.
“Just like that.”
“You said that from the moment you entered the store… You were thinking dirty things…? “I tried to do that inside the store, but it was a small place so I was disappointed that I couldn’t do it… !?”
It pierced my heart exactly.
It’s the same as the time when I told you not to think strange thoughts earlier…
It looks like he achieved some success after a difficult life as a slave. Amazing, amazing.
“No.”
“Nope…! That’s right…!”
“Even if it doesn’t. Are you going to meet your friend now?”
“… I went home.”
“Would you like a ride?”
“If you do so… Thank you.”
“I have to drop off the manager and play with my teacher.”
“Why… ? “Don’t bother Chinami… !”
“The manager said he had an appointment. And who is harassing you? Are you kidding?”
“They said they were buying daily necessities…! Buy that or go back… !”
“Don’t talk nonsense and go. Oh, and the display case at the manager’s house.”
Lenka’s shoulders trembled.
She answered, rolling her eyes as if she was recalling the time when I visited her house.
“There is no display case.”
“The last time I went, the marks were still clearly visible. Why are you pretending not to notice? “If you lie one more time, I will get really scolded.”
“…Why is that?”
“Don’t you think we need something a little bigger?”
“Why? There is still enough space to put it in.”
“That’s not to say, when the manager comes to our house sometime soon, he’ll have to bring in my figurines and Master’s and Momo’s figurines, so let’s find something wide.”
As I openly shared my plans for the future, Lenka’s eyes began to sparkle.
“W-what…?”
“I have Miyuki’s stuff… And Hiyori’s stuff, so it might be a good idea to turn a room into a display case.”
“No… What are you talking about?”
“Why?”
“What’s wrong…! I didn’t agree with that! And now I remember, did I tell Chinami that I agreed? You can’t commit fraud like that…!”
“What is fraud in that?”
“I said I would respond in a month, and you said you would understand…!”
“Wasn’t it two weeks?”
“It’s only one month, but two weeks…! And whether you have two weeks, three weeks, or a month left, shouldn’t you act like that!?”
I told you in advance because I knew you would agree anyway, so what does the date have to do with it?
I understand hiding your true feelings, but you also need to know how to open up… I’m going to be honest with her close friend her, Chinami, and it’s really frustrating.
“All right. “I don’t want to argue with the manager, so I’ll skip this.”
“Who is telling me to hand over to whom now…?”
“I believe the manager will agree.”
“Because you said that, I only felt repulsive…!”
“I will believe it.”
“No… Ha… It’s really frustrating.”
I said, putting my arm around Lenka’s shoulder as before, as she was pounding her own chest.
“There is a puddle ahead, so be careful.”
“I saw it too, you bastard.”
“You’re being considerate, but why are you being harsh to me? Anyway, let’s go.”
“…When you meet Chinami, don’t be pushy again.”
“What kind of nonsense?”
“What I just said…! You lied and said I agreed…! “Don’t do that… !”
“Okay.”
“I’m going to call to confirm.”
“What if I called and said that?”
“Then…”
“Then? “Will you kill me again?”
“…”
She closes her mouth and sticks out her lips.
Seeing him act calmly as if he had nothing to say made me feel recharged with energy for the day.
Anyway, it can be said that Lenka agreed to my plan.
So should I say hello to Lenka’s parents?
Or should we go to her uncles first?
If she chooses the latter and things go well, I think her uncles will tell Lenka’s parents well, but if things go wrong, I think it’s very likely that she will be buried alive.
It’s not a joke, I think those two would really bury me in a mountain somewhere.
Since I don’t want to die, as I thought before, it would be okay to live with four people first and gradually tell their parents or acquaintances.
Or you don’t have to say anything at all.
