Murabito Desu Ga Nani Ka?

Two hours after beating up the old man.

Lilith and I were walking down the road.

I am currently, troubled

For a while now, Lilith had been holding my hand and wouldnt leave me alone.

She was holding my hand like lovers do, or clinging to me. There was nothing more annoying.

Lilith?

Lute said it. That Im a person you treasure.

No, well, I did say you were one of the people I treasure, though?

Kufu~ Kufufu~ I am a person Lute treasures Kufufu

Lilith?

Lute said it. Definitely said it. That I am a person he treasures Kufu~ Kufufufufu~ kufufu~

Seriously, Liliths state was weird.

In fact, it was a bit scary.

Well, leaving that aside for the time being

What should we do about the slave mark? Its a magic seal that can completely render the targets abilities useless. Even Lilith, who can be called a superhuman, had no choice but to listen to a small fry. Should we get it removed in the town?

Ever since I left for the dragon village, I had never even seen the current owners face before. Im in favor of removing their mark. But Im against removing the slave mark itself.

What do you mean?

Im saying you can buy me back with ten gold coins. That way, Lute would become my master. Rather, Ill even pay the ten gold myself.

Lilith nods with a very serious face.

I tilted my neck at this point.

What are you even saying? Saying youll pay the gold coins yourself. I really cant understand what youre saying.

Even as I watched, Liliths cheeks turn red like apples.

Blockhead

Her entire face was dyed red.

And then, as though she had made a huge decision, Lilith said.

The slave mark, I want it to be Lutes.

No, I really dont get it.

I dont need you to understand it. However, thats how I want it to be, I just need you to understand that.

I shrugged my shoulders.

Is that so, do as you like. However, Ill leave most of the restraints as blank, okay?

Restraints.

It is something along the lines of a sort of conditions for using a slave, with labor slaves being a bit better off, and sex slaves having the worst form of treatment.

Essentially how much of a mess you can make, its like a fundamental promise in that regard.

Lilith puffed up her cheeks and shoulders.

I want Lute to restrict me restrain me strongly. That way, I can feel the bond between us

Hmm? Did you say something? Well, I heard something that sounded like a landmine.

No, I didnt say anything. If Lute wants to do so. I am fine with it.

At that time, her voice was too quiet and even I didnt hear it clearly, but Lilith definitely whispered something.

But, this is truly a windfall. Best timing. With this, against that hero girl, I have a one-step lead.

At this point in time, I should have noticed.

Since the incident with the zombie dragon, Lilith and I had been together.

But, I didnt notice that.

Already, Liliths spirit was completely dependant on me. Various things would become like that from now on.

That said, I couldve given her my reasons for what happened, but I didnt notice.

Well, leaving that aside, we paid ten gold coins in the next town.

Once the paperwork was complete, the original owner would be given quite a hefty return, it seemed.

In Liliths case, although she was a runaway slave, she ought to have been considered dead along with the slave merchant.

Thats why, her owners would probably find this to be a lucky break.

Thus, I became Liliths owner in both name and reality.

After walking for another four days, we finally reached the Artena Magic Academy.

On that day I met Cordelia again.
