The morning dawned.

The six slaves who had gathered at night gathered again as soon as morning came.

“Sleepy… .”

“Are you sleepy in this situation?”

Asies, who was sleeping soundly while everyone else was awake, was dragged in by Arpia.

Not only did he sleep late the night before, he woke up earlier than usual today. It was a struggle for Assis, who is a sleepyhead.

While everyone else was dressed neatly, Assis was the only one in pajamas.

“I gave you my soul, Rami…?”

“You live so comfortably. I wish I could live like you.”

“Thank you… Huh?”

“I shouldn’t have said that.”

Arphia sighed.

Assis was the only one who was okay.

The other five looked visibly tired, having not slept well.

Everyone had the same reason.

The soul passed to Karami.

They offered it with my own hands.

If Karami had a chained soul, I thought it would help erase the mistrust that had developed between the master and the servant.

Since they had held onto Karami from leaving due to their greed, they could have given him as much as they wanted in return for his soul.

However, what they are worried about is their relationship with Karami, because they cannot guess how Karami will treat them.

Or it gets awkward.

Or an invisible wall appears.

Fearing that this might happen, the girls who usually clung to her competitively were unable to approach Karami readily.

“Gumiho. You go first. You always hugged me whenever you had a chance.”

“Rin has a name called Rin! Call her Rin!”

“Yeah, Lin. But why did you get smaller again?”

“Lynn Mom.”

At that moment, Elise raised the corners of her lips and glanced at Assis.

“The princess can go. You have to ask her to make a ring for me, right?”

“… … .”

Assis’ eyes, which had been half-asleep, suddenly come to life. He narrows his eyes as sharply as an ice blade and glares at Elise.

Narsha, who had been watching them from the side with the eyes of a merchant for the past few days, made a clear definition.

‘No one is normal.’

If there was one sane person, it was Maid Mirabelle. She was the only one I could trust.

“Miss Mirabel?”

“Yes, Narsha.”

“How about Miss Mirabelle going to see the master?”

Mirabelle flinches.

“Me, me?”

“I think that the only person I can trust is Miss Mirabelle… Rather than that, I think it’s because of Miss Mirabelle’s youthfulness that it works in my favor.”

“In that case, Lindo… … I guess I’m the only one.”

“What? That look in your eyes just now?”

Lin, who was sticking her head out in a rough manner, ignored it.

In the end, Mirabelle decided to go as the representative.

Not only because of my age, but also because I’m a maid.

If you say you’ve been to the market, there’s room for excuses.

Mirabelle goes to Karami’s bedroom.

After that, the slaves follow in their own form.

Arphia, who gave the spirit its ego.

Elise transforms into a bat and goes outside to the window.

Rin transformed into a fox and entered Mirabelle’s apron.

Assis sent the ice rabbit, and Narsha, who had a schedule starting in the morning, left for work, praying that everything would go well.

Mirabelle stood in front of the door.

I’m more nervous than ever.

I took a deep breath and tried to knock on the door──.

Bam.

“Huh?”

“Huh?!”

Karami opened the door and came out.

Mirabelle jumped in surprise.

It was a successful levitation without magic.

Mirabelle looks up at Karami while holding her staff tightly.

‘Well, what should I say?’

Did you sleep well?

good morning?

What do you want to do first? Eating? Bathing? Or… From there?

There was a time when I couldn’t say anything because all kinds of random thoughts were running through my head.

“Good morning, Miss Mirabelle. Did you have a nice dream?”

Karami spoke first.

A soft smile is seen while doing so.

It was the smile that was always there.

Mirabelle shed tears like chicken droppings at him.

“Oh no. Why are you crying in the morning?”

“I’m sorry… I promised to listen to you, Master, but I broke my promise. But I couldn’t even imagine being abandoned by you… .”

A feeling of guilt for not being able to overcome one’s greed and disobeying one’s master’s orders.

And as I was worried that he would hate me, a sense of relief came over me and the tension in my body disappeared, and tears flowed out on their own.

Karami placed his hand on Mirabelle’s cheek and wiped away her tears. Mirabelle silently accepted his touch.

“Huh… ?”

Then I groaned at the strange sensation.

The hand that was caressing my cheek moved to stroke my hair and caress my ear, then soon tickled the back of my neck.

A tingling sensation and prickle.

A touch that makes people feel strange.

“Master, Master?”

“Why? Do you have something to say?”

“Oh, no… .”

Karami smiles at Mirabelle, who doesn’t know what to do.

Charang took a bite of the scent while holding the blue hair in his hand, kissed it lightly, and let it go.

Mirabelle’s face turned red at some point.

A very stiff expression.

The gaze wandered.

“There’s a cute little fox cub hiding here.”

Karami suddenly puts her hand into Mirabelle’s skirt pocket and picks up the pink fox.

Touch your face with both hands and caress your stomach.

“, it tickles me! ”

“Huh? The fox is talking to people?”

“Cahang… .”

“The fox seems ticklish. I hope it makes you feel better.”

At Karami’s command, the spirit of the nine-tailed fox that fell into his hands reacts. Rin’s body changes.

“Keeping… !”

The ticklishness disappears and what I feel is an overwhelming pleasure.

It was as if my entire body had become an erogenous zone, and I felt a thrill wherever Karami’s hands touched.

A fox that is teased and cannot move.

Karami looks around and finds bats, rabbits, and spirits hiding everywhere.

When they encountered each other, they flinched and ran away. Karami smirked as if he had seen something interesting.

When I looked down, I saw a fox cub that was struggling against my hand and Mirabelle, who was surprised by the sudden skinship, putting her hand on her chest.

“Mirabelle, where are the others?”

“Ah, maybe she’s awake by now…? Should I bring her?”

“Please tell her to come for breakfast.”

***

Narsha, who had been working since early in the morning, came alone in response to Mirabelle’s call.

It was also Narsha’s first time using the office, as she always ate her meals there.

Karami sat at the head of the long table, and the slaves each took their own seat.

It was strange that the master and slave were equal, but no one tackled it.

However, Narsha sensed a strange current in another part. Everyone felt a little strange somewhere.

Three people were cautiously observing Karami’s expression. Two people were fidgeting with their cheeks flushed.

In particular, Lin, who had no sense of humor, was in a particularly strange state.

The most important thing, Karami, was eating breakfast without losing her smile for even a moment.

‘I think something happened this morning….’

Narsha couldn’t know the details.

During the awkward mealtime where everyone was looking around, Karami said.

“The dining atmosphere is strange. What’s wrong with everyone?”

No one answered.

Even though everyone knows the reason.

“It seems like it’s because of what happened yesterday.”

At those words, everyone’s movements froze. Some people just rolled their eyes with their heads still, while others stared straight at their plates.

I paid more attention to Karami’s words than when I was fighting.

“After you guys left, I thought about it on my own. What did I miss? Why did you have to make that choice, even disobeying my orders?”

“… … .”

“It’s because I was short-sighted. Slaves were never meant to be free, but I tried to give them freedom.”

The slaves nodded as if to agree with what was said.

“I will give up the idea of giving freedom to slaves. From now on, I will keep my slaves by my side without exception.”

Then the slaves brightened up.

“You don’t have to worry, you can continue to live as before. You can live as slaves for your whole life, and serve me as your master for your whole life.”

“Yes.”

The slaves who had received Karami’s warning breathed a sigh of relief. Only then were they able to eat with much peace of mind.

***

I finished eating and returned to my room.

A view of the clean city at a glance. Narsha must have taken care of it for me.

Her sincerity is also evident in the small details that are difficult to notice.

Even the reason the upper ranks of the Reaper were raised was for me. The reason Mirabelle and Lin created the sect, and the reason Arphia brought the elves.

The reason they held me back wasn’t revenge.

contrary.

Because your affection for me is too high.

Because you like me so much.

I like them too. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble to free them.

The only difference is that our form is not that of an ordinary man and woman, but that of a master and servant.

Just like in the game.

I was seriously mistaken.

Even though they were slaves serving their masters in the game, I thought that when reality came, they would dream of freedom like normal people.

But that wasn’t the case.

They are slaves to the bone, both then and now. They offer up their souls to me and voluntarily give up their freedom.

What will happen if I leave them?

Arphia, who harmed herself and took drugs.

Lin, who locked me up and told me not to go.

Assis in eternal sleep.

They were fine before we broke up, but as soon as I left, they started acting extreme.

Even if I leave them for a little while, it’s like that. I can’t imagine what would happen to them if I left them completely.

I know there’s no good ending waiting for you.

That is, I must remain the master and they must remain the slaves. And so on.

So after much thought, I decided to stay here.

I intend to do my best as a master to ensure that my lovely, pitiful, and naive slaves are not hurt.

‘I can’t go back anyway.’

However, you will have to pay a heavy price for not letting me go.

I will release all the desires and things I have wanted to do as the owner that I have been suppressing for so long.

You guys started it first.
