Oh My Master (1)

The last obstacle to escape was the troll.

It’s not like we can’t fight or anything. Agnes’s Aura has mostly recovered, and if we combine forces with the remaining adventurers, we should be able to escape without much trouble.

The problem was the battle itself.

If a battle breaks out, it will inevitably attract Gaolise’s attention. I don’t know why the magic circle has weakened, but if it regains its original power, the plan will fall apart. To avoid unnecessary attention, I had no choice but to borrow the hand of the highest-ranking one.

The jailer of the underground prison, the Minotaur.

Since the cow-head is already in my hands, I should be able to get out without bloodshed if I just match the situation roughly. What kind of situation would be good? Yeah, taking him out as a sacrifice… that’s a good one.

As I was finalizing the plan, I heard a fearful voice.

“U-Um, are you really okay with this?”

Agnes was already trembling with fear just from hearing the ‘Mi’ in Minotaur.

I don’t know exactly why she’s so afraid of the cow-head, but I suspect it’s a combination of mental trauma and partial regression to childhood due to head injury.

Knights are supposed to be those who enforce their will with a sword. She emitted Aura but was knocked out in one blow, and I was brutally raped in front of her, so it’s no wonder her spirit broke. She’s probably terrified that she could suffer the same fate.

In theory, if I could revert all her body parts, including her brain, to the way they were at our first meeting, she might regain her sanity….

But I didn’t want to.

The one who brought things this far was none other than this knight.

‘It’s all her karma.’

Even if the Demon was an unexpected presence, there were many options.

She could have retreated and led the territory’s forces, or gathered adventurers again. Even saying this, I didn’t go all out, so it would end up being deception, but at least I tried not to let anyone die. The male adventurers are still alive and well, too.

‘And… if I reveal my identity, I won’t be able to do this kind of thing anymore.’

In fact, it was all just pathetic self-justification. I’m just as much of a piece of trash.

It’s just a matter of determining who’s the worse piece of trash.

Above all, if I become known as an Archmage, the chances of me being able to do ‘these things’ would be greatly reduced. Who in their right mind would mess with someone stronger than a Great Mage? Even if I’m not an Archmage, few people mess with skilled mages. Even thugs know their lives are precious.

I hid my sinister thoughts and said to Agnes.

“It’s okay. The Minotaur is on our side now.”

“On our side? How?”

“…You could say I seduced him.”

So, a little acting is essential.

Saying that I seduced the Minotaur made my self-loathing spike a bit, but so what? I decided to accept this whole situation as a game.

Agnes’s mouth dropped open at the sound of me seducing the Minotaur, and her gaze fell on my torn dress.

The dress, stained and discolored with Semen, harmonized with the bruises all over my body, making me look even more pathetic.

There was no particular reason why I was walking around in the state I was in right after the rape, without reconstructing myself. It would be strange if I came back perfectly fine after being messed up like that. If I healed my body without divine power, there was a risk of revealing my realm.

So, I intended to accelerate Agnes’s misunderstanding and enjoy the lingering pain.

“O-Oh, ugh… I-I’m sorry….”

Agnes’s eyes, looking at me, trembled as if there was an earthquake. For a moment, I wanted to see inside her head. I could roughly guess what she was thinking, but I decided not to say it out loud.

I had Agnes wait and headed to the Minotaur’s room.

Now, it’s time to wake up.

* * *

―Keureureung…

The sound of snoring shakes my cochlea. I frowned at the loud snoring and approached the Minotaur. He was sleeping with a very comfortable face, considering he had raped a person.

“Haa….”

Monsters are all selfish and self-centered. There were some good points about that, but that’s that, and this is this. Slightly annoyed, I kicked the Minotaur’s calf as it was.

-Peoeok!

“Ugh….”

Shibal.

Only my foot hurt. My ankle was tingling. A kick without Mana didn’t do any damage to the Minotaur’s body.

It might seem a little pathetic, but it wasn’t a pointless act.

My will was clear.

The Ring of Domination…. My will to wake up resonated with the Minotaur’s mind and was clearly conveyed. He’ll probably wake up soon.

I grabbed my reddened ankle and waited for the Minotaur to get up.

―Keueueum…?

The Minotaur stirred at the intensely felt aura of his ‘master,’ then opened his eyes wide and got up.

―Master, is that you?

His eyes meet mine.

―Y-You are…! Red-haired female!!!

He glared at me, but couldn’t hide his confused eyes. Wasn’t the human in front of him the toy he had gleefully violated before going to sleep? Why does she smell like Gaolise-nim? The Minotaur, unaware that I had placed the Ring of Domination on him, huffed and approached.

―You!! You’re not Master!!! What did you do to Master!!!!

The Minotaur reached out to grab my body. If I had the余裕, I would have played along for a while, but unfortunately, I was a little tired of this situation.

It was dangerous in many ways.

Reconstruction isn’t omnipotent. It literally restores ‘my’ body, so even if I remove someone else’s Semen with Reconstruction, a small amount may remain. In this case, I had to take care of it separately.

Which means I could get pregnant.

I don’t know if the fetus is considered part of my body. I’ve never been pregnant, and I don’t plan to be, so it’s impossible for me to find out. Conversely, it would be a problem even if it was considered part of my body. It would mean that the fetus was decomposed and destroyed during the Reconstruction process… wouldn’t that be a little sad?

The tentacle children were separate.

They were just illusions.

-Kwaaaang!

I used basic wind-attribute magic to twist the trajectory of his fist. The Minotaur, unable to aim at me and smashing something else, glared with red eyes.

―You!!! You’re not Gaolise-nim!!!

I clicked my tongue at the Minotaur’s resistance.

The fact that he follows his original master even though the Ring of Domination has been placed on him means that it’s not forced loyalty through imprinting, but genuine loyalty from the heart.

However.

The ‘master’s’ command is absolute.

“Minotaur, 「Sit」.”

―Uoooooo!!!!

-Kuuuung!!!

The Minotaur couldn’t maintain his posture due to the intangible force pressing down on his body and face-planted. His eyes were bloodshot, and his capillaries burst, causing him to shed tears of blood.

―Why!!!! Why do you have!!! Master’s power!!!!

He cries out as if the world is collapsing. There was even desperation in the Minotaur’s voice. My ears hurt, and I was worried that Agnes, who was waiting outside, would be frightened and have a seizure, so I uttered another command.

“「Be quiet」, Minotaur.”

―……!

“「Follow me」. And 「obey my words」.”

The Minotaur race itself has incredibly high magic resistance, but it couldn’t ignore the Archmage’s command. If that were possible, why would the Demon King be a prison guard in a dungeon? The Minotaur followed me with a resentful expression.

It felt like the perpetrator and victim had switched places, but…

Who cares.

“……!!”

Agnes turned as white as a sheet of paper when I came out with the Minotaur. She couldn’t say a single word until she rescued the male adventurers who had woken up.

Most of the male adventurers who had been isolated were awake. About two-thirds of them. Those who hadn’t woken up yet were carried by those who had the strength.

“I-Is he really listening to us?”

“Ugh, what is this… I shouldn’t have followed the knight….”

The adventurers looked back and forth between the Minotaur and the half-naked me, trembling with fear. But when the Minotaur really followed my words and didn’t harm them, their fear turned into relief, and relief turned into余裕.

The men who had the余裕 to think naturally turned their gaze to me, who was stark naked. How long has it been since they escaped the crossroads of life and death, and they’re already horny. In a way, it was amazing.

“…Ahem.”

“…….”

However, they couldn’t openly look at me. That’s because Agnes singled out these guys and scattered killing intent. I ignored the pathetic scene that didn’t even reach the level of third-rate comedy and quietly approached the Minotaur.

“Minotaur, as promised, I’ll stay here… so please help these people escape.”

I pleaded with the most pitiful face possible.

The Minotaur looked at me as if I was talking nonsense. There was no promise I made with him. His eyes twitched. He realized I was acting.

―What kind of bullsh-

I kept thinking 「Shut up」 in my head.

―…….

In the end, the Minotaur couldn’t open his mouth. He led the adventurers with a complex expression.

It felt like the perpetrator and victim had switched places, but…

Who cares.

“……!!”

Agnes, who had stayed behind without following the group, was the one.

She said solemnly with a determined face.

“…This incident has made me realize how arrogant and immature I am. I only feel sorry for you.”

One step for each word. The distance narrows each time she opens her mouth. Agnes approached quickly before I could say anything.

“So, I swear.”

She knelt down and met my eyes.

My lips were parched.

A knight’s knee is not light. They don’t bend their knees to just anyone. Only for their lord and the emperor. Even if the other party is a noble, they don’t even bow unless they acknowledge them.

That’s a knight. The act of a knight ‘bending’ their body implies the utmost respect they can show and the meaning of acknowledging the other party.

Agnes took my hand, which was covered in filth, and kissed the back of my hand. The sensation of her soft lips travels up my hand. She raised her head and said in a voice that was more composed than before.

“Even if I lose my knightly qualifications, even if it costs me my life, I swear to save you from here.”

Before letting go of my hand, a final cry.

“Just, wait a little longer.”

With these words, she rejoined the group.

“…….”

What did I just hear?

I stood there blankly until the Minotaur returned. I kept feeling a ticklish sensation deep in my chest. I wondered if I had caught some strange disease, so I tried Reconstruction, but the strange feeling remained.

This was embarrassment.

It was a little different from the shame I felt when I was forcibly violated. If that was external embarrassment, this was internal embarrassment.

―….

My face gets hot.

The ‘sincerity’ that Agnes showed me was more than I deserved. To elicit a sincere heart with only false actions? This whole situation was so embarrassing that I fanned myself and forcibly suppressed the rising embarrassment.

I should change the subject.

I attempt Reconstruction. After about ten minutes, my body, which was covered in Semen and bruises, returned to its white and clean skin. At the same time, the tattered dress turned to dust and my usual attire began to appear. Underwear and garter belt, a red frilled skirt and a pure white top, and a cape.

Finally, I completely eliminate all the Semen remaining in my uterus.

―……!

-Kung. Kung.

“Hueu….”

I took a breath and looked at the source of the faint vibration, and the Minotaur came into view.

The last command was 「Shut up」, so the Minotaur couldn’t say anything and was just stamping his feet. I said to him only when the dust was flying right in front of my eyes.

“You can talk now.”

The Minotaur, greatly excited by witnessing the miraculous regeneration, shouted.

―Human!!!! You deceived us!!!!

“I was just acting in self-defense. You were the ones who attacked first, right?”

I speak in a sharp tone since there’s nothing more to hide.

“I won’t accept excuses. 「Guide me to Gaolise.」”

Even if I’m not interested in worldly affairs, I have basic likes and dislikes.

Coffee rather than black tea,

Stew rather than bread,

Pepsi rather than Coke.

Heat rather than cold.

I wanted to take down the Demon as soon as possible and get summer back.

―……!

When the story of his original master came out of my mouth, the Minotaur began to swell up and tremble.

It meant he was resisting the command in real time.

“…….”

I was curious to see how long he could last, so I watched him silently.

Three minutes of resistance. His muscles start to tear and his blood vessels burst. His original elastic, dark-colored skin is gone, and only hideous, bluish bruises remain, spreading their territory. Then, at ten minutes of resistance, his left eyeball exploded. His teeth were shattered and his body was distorted to the point where it was hard to look at, but he remained silent. He was determined to die rather than speak.

“「Stop.」”

I withdrew the command just before the Minotaur’s brain exploded.

―Keueoeu….

“Why are you resisting so much?”

I was speechless.

―Gaolise… nim… save… plea… se….

“Haa….”

I didn’t know the loyalty of monsters could be this strong. I roughly reconstructed the unconscious Minotaur’s body and preserved it. What did she do to her subordinate to make him listen so well?

If he doesn’t tell me, I’ll have to find out myself.

The knight and the adventurers have all escaped, so there are no more elements blocking me.

If things go wrong, I’ll just drop a Meteor.
