Chapter 56 – Part 1 Hunter – Jin (1)

※This is Jin’s point of view.
=====================

“Ugh… Black… Ugh…”

I didn’t know the tears would stop.
After Yuzu oppa left, it felt like a hole had been opened in my heart.

“Brother Brother…”

When I met my brother in this slave prison, it was like a miracle had happened.
A shadowy face that seemed a little more emaciated than before. On the other hand, stylish clothes and sharp eyes.
I couldn’t recognize him at first sight because he had changed like a different person. I thought I was looking at something in despair.

But when I heard the voice, I was sure. This isn’t fantasy, it’s reality.

The moment I realized that, my heart couldn’t stop beating with joy. I thought my brother had come to rescue me.

…But that was my mistake. Oppa had changed not only his appearance, but also his contents.
The eyes looking at me were not as friendly as before. I wish I had pretended not to know. I could only feel bad emotions in my brother’s eyes as he looked at me.

Must be wrong! All must be wrong!
I’ve been loving my brother like this ever since I was little…

But my brother didn’t believe me. I’m lying because I don’t want to be a slave…

It won’t be sincere. You always helped me So will you help me this time too?
But even when I cried and pleaded, my brother left. He didn’t even look back.

The grown woman next to her brother lowered her head apologetically and turned around. She had a slave collar like mine hanging around her neck.

…Your brother came to save that person, not me.
I guess so. Oppa also likes a pretty and mature woman like me rather than a liar like me.

Haha. Because I’m really stupid too.

“Ugh… Black…”

The fact that I was abandoned by my brother was more sad than the fact that I was enslaved. I thought it would be better to die now, but as a slave, I don’t even have the freedom to choose death.

How did this happen? Because of stupid stubbornness, everything went out of order.
I sat in the cold corner of the prison and sobbed endlessly.

*

Did I fall asleep exhausted from crying?
I woke up to a loud noise echoing in the basement.

“Melissa sold? What do you mean!?”
“It’s literal. A man came this morning and took it away.”
“Damn it! What the hell am I supposed to say to the Count!”

A loud voice like chasing a pig. Even if you don’t want to hear it, it’s so loud that you can’t help but listen to it.

“Let’s take another slave for now. The Count has been playing only with Melissa for a while now, so shouldn’t it be time for him to get tired of it?”
“Damn it. I can’t. Do you have a replacement slave?”
“Anyway, Melissa-class is a bit… Oh, come to think of it, there’s a young girl who just came in yesterday. Of course she’s a virgin.”

I was listening to the conversations of men forced into my ears with one ear and letting them flow through the other, when I suddenly heard such a disturbing story.
The young kid who just came in yesterday? Virgin? Are you sure you’re not talking about me?

“It is this child.”

I hoped, but still. Two men came to the bar where I was.
I was crouching with my head down.

“Hey. Show your face.”
“Ugh…”

The man pulled the rope around my neck. I was forced to stand up.
A pig-like man looks at me with disgusting eyes.

Don’t look at me with dirty eyes. Garbage.

“Ohh. You have a pretty cute face. What’s your name?”

As I kept my mouth shut, the man next to me answered instead.

“My name is Jin.”
“Jin? Are you from the Empire?”
“That’s well for us too… It’s only been a day since we came in, so the process hasn’t been completed yet. The process for putting it out has to be completed.”
“Procedure? When will it be finished?”
“Well, it should be tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.”
“Finish it by tomorrow morning. If you make the count wait too long, you might ruin such a small slave right away.”
“That’s embarrassing… But okay. I’ll finish it as soon as possible.”

I trembled.
What’s going on? Am I already being sold?

“Cheuk. It’s a pity, kid. Our count really likes to see women cry. You’d better be strong.”
“Whew… It’s a big deal. Sexual torture is about the extent of being a slave, so even if you think it’s possible, if you’re in a bad mood, don’t you cut off your limbs, don’t you break your fingers one by one? I’m sorry. I dare to say nonsense.”
“Geuk. It’s our Count’s taste. There’s no one who doesn’t know about it. Just ask them to wrap it properly.”
Haha. I understand. Then I’ll prepare it and send it to you by tomorrow morning. Please tell the count well.”
Haha! Of course not.”

The two laughed happily and left. My legs gave out and I sat down.
What’s the story now? Count Pervert? You mean that kind of person will be my master?
Cutting off human limbs? Do you like to break your fingers on purpose and hear screams?
Hate! I don’t want to be sold to such a pervert!

However, slaves cannot even choose their own masters. I could only sit on the cold prison floor and tremble.

“I… Have been punished…”

Everything was messed up because of petty greed.
I just wanted my brother to look at me more.

It felt good to pretend to be angry and to see my brother try to set me free. The more I treated him coldly, the closer he came to me. The more I acted crookedly, the more my brother paid attention to me.

The more I push him away, the closer he gets to me. That feeling of superiority drove me crazy.
I treated my brother more and more coldly, and my heart was colored with joy every time he was afraid of me. The feeling at that time was like a drug to me.

…In fact, the statement that he resigned because of Ray is a lie.
Because I thought that if I said I would fall, my brother would cling to me. I thought that if I did that, my brother would turn his attention away from Ray and look at me.

I wanted to drive him into a corner and see him fret over me.

But it was a mistake. My pranks crossed the line, and eventually my brother gave up on continuing a relationship with me.

They’re not even real siblings. If you turn around anyway, it’s just south and south. Why did I think my brother would forgive me no matter what I did? Why couldn’t she be satisfied with staying within the ‘brother and sister’ fence that her brother allowed her to do?
At first, she just wanted to be a lover with her brother, but since when did she only act to hurt her brother? Why did she get so caught up in this ugly desire that she forgot what was most precious to her?

“Brother…I’m sorry…”

I regret it after coming to the point of no return, but the person who will accept my apology has already left me.
After tonight I will be sold to Count Pervert. Perhaps this is the punishment given to me.
If I hadn’t picked the wrong option…
If so, did I have a different future…?

*

“Hey. Come out.”

My wish that tomorrow would never come did not come true.
In the morning the prison doors were opened. A man with a formidable impression pulls on my leash. I had to be forced out of prison.

When I get out of prison, my wrists are handcuffed with thick iron. Even if I don’t fill this up, I can’t run away.

Following the man holding the leash, he climbs one step after another to the death row inmate’s heart.

“Pack this guy.”

When I got out of the dungeon, my leash passed into the hands of another female employee.

I knew right away what the man meant by ‘packaging’. The woman took me to one of the rooms to make up and change her clothes.

“How is it? Pretty?”

The woman who finished putting makeup on my face with her skillful skill asks with a smile. But I couldn’t help but laugh.
Why did I have to dress up pretty for Count Pervert? I’ve never shown anything like this to someone I really like.

“Oh, you can’t cry. Your makeup is messed up.”

The woman hurriedly patted the corner of her eye with her handkerchief and wiped away the tears.

“Your heart may be complicated, but don’t worry too much. There are people who meet unexpectedly good owners.”

The woman said with a human-looking face. But it was of no consolation to me.

“My master, Count Pervert?”
“Oh my God. That’s right.”

At my words, the woman’s expression visibly darkened.
Can you guess who it is just by saying Count Pervert?

I wanted to hear at least a little bit of information about my prospective owner.

“Hey, do you know what that Count Pervert is like?”
“…Haa. Even a child like this…”

The woman sighed and said.

“There’s nothing I can say. But… You’d better not rebel too much. I’ve heard that the more you rebel, the happier you are.”
“Huh? The more you rebel, the more you rejoice?”

I didn’t understand what the woman was saying.

“They say they like to thoroughly torture rebellious slaves to make them obedient. The more they rebel, the more they’ll get sick. So, from the start, try to obey as much as possible. Never disobey any command, okay?”

My body started to tremble again.
Can I follow Count Pervert’s orders? What kind of orders are you giving? What is torture?

So whether I was worried or not, the work of wrapping myself proceeded smoothly. After finishing her make-up, she was changed into a thin and cute dress. The lump of metal hanging around my neck turned into a cute little necklace. If it wasn’t for this situation, I might have been happy.

“Even if it’s painful, just be patient and endure it. Because one day a better day will come.”

After changing her clothes, the woman said so. I felt like I would shed tears even at such an insignificant word.

After changing her clothes, she was handcuffed again with her hands behind her back.
Then she was pulled out of the building by her leash again. A large carriage was waiting at the door.

“Hurry up. The Count is waiting for you.”

It was the pig-like man I saw yesterday in prison who said that.
When he got into this carriage, he felt that there was really no turning back.

Don’t want to ride Is there anyone, someone who can save me?
I looked around eagerly, but there was no way I could see the person I was looking for.

“Can’t you hear me? Get in quick if you don’t want to get hit!”

The pig squeals as I hesitate. There was no way to resist me, who was restrained not only by the leash but also by both hands.
Get in the wagon as instructed. A woman was riding inside. The woman immediately put a blindfold over her eyes and a muzzle over her mouth.

I am really becoming a slave.
In the darkness where nothing can be seen, the horse is getting closer to Count Pervert’s house. My heart felt like it was about to burst with nervousness and anxiety.

Like an idiot, I held out the slightest hope until the end, but no one came to rescue me.
Only tears flowed and wet the blindfold.

*

Now I am lying on the bed with my hands and feet tied. Since his eyes and mouth were blocked, he could not see Count Pervert’s face yet.

“Guhuhu. You’re finally here. Where should I see your face?”

A disgusting voice that makes your ears rot just by hearing it. Goosebumps sprouted all over his body.
I felt like I could tell who it was even if I didn’t say it. This is a man named Count Pervert, who will be my master.

The Count removed the blindfold from my face. It is dazzling because it has been hidden for a long time.

“Ooh. This is a fresh female slave! From today I am your master.”

I open my eyes with difficulty and check Count Pervert’s face.

And I was devastated.

A strange mask covering half of his face, seemingly claiming to be a pervert. Half of the face exposed under the mask was a three-fold chin covered in oil. If I were going to cover it, I’d rather cover everything.

His fat body made it difficult to even walk. And in both hands, a whip that looked like it would hurt just to look at it, and a toy with a shape that couldn’t be expressed in words were clutched.

Could it be that something like that…?!

“I’ll play with you every morning and evening, my cute kitten. Guhuhuhu!”

The back of the hand stroking my chin was thick with hair. The hairs all over her body stood up at the grotesque movement of her hands.

“Eupup! Eupupup!!”

While coming this far, I swore to myself several times not to rebel, to obey unconditionally.
But the moment I saw Count Pervert, all my oaths were shattered.

“Guhuhu. Do you have something to say?

The Count loosened the restraint on my mouth. As soon as I opened my mouth, I screamed.

“Pighead! Pervert! Don’t come! Don’t touch! Gross! You orc!”

Count Pervert’s body froze for an instant at my personal attack.
I just spit out whatever came to my mind, but it was clear that it offended Count Pervert.

“Guhu, guhuhuhu…”

Count Pervert smiled, twisting his lips. Is he laughing at the prospect of torturing rebellious slaves from now on?
Oh Maybe my life is really over now.

“I hate it! I hate it! Brother! Help me brother!!”

Even though I knew there was no one here to listen to me, I couldn’t help but howl.
