"Alright, then, I'll start." I started the ritual of releasing the slave seal.
"By mentioning the name of the god, I command you to be free from the seal of slavery, and from this moment on, you are no longer slaves." for a moment nothing happened. "What's this about? Didn't it work?"
"It's just that you do it." the voice of the god Sha suddenly appeared in my head. And after some time, Lord Sha contacted me again and the time was right.
"But why Sha?"
"The succubus contract is a perpetual contract."
"Eternal contract? So that means.."
"Yes, the contract will continue to exist and will not be erased by any means, because it is an eternal contract."
"What do you mean, this contract will continue to exist until I die."
"No, this contract will continue to exist even when you die. But, this contract will be removed after this sucubus race dies."
"Is this some kind of punishment for this sucubus" I thought. With the words of the god Sha, I knew that this was punishment. "Is there no way to let go of this eternal contact other than that?" I asked that because who knew there was another way I could use to remove this bondage seal.
"I told you, there's no way, this contact will continue until the sucubus is dead."
There seems to be no other way I can remove this bondage seal, and the only way is death for this sucubus, and I cannot kill this succubus. Inevitably I must accept this sucubus as my slave.
"But how do I treat a slave?" my thinking. Considering he was the first permanent slave I had, so I didn't know how to treat him.
"*That's easy, you just give the sucubus the freedom to do anything."
"But it is not the same as being freed from the seal of slavery."
"Just calm down, you can still give him orders, because the sucubus is bound by an eternal contract. Oh yes, if you hand the sucubus over to someone else, then you won't have any rights to it*."
It wasn't exactly the answer I expected, but it seemed like it gave me a bit of important information. "*Alright, thank you for the Sha god info."
"Either. Oh yeah, I'm sure he'll be useful to you, so don't you ever mind throwing it away*." shut the telepathy.
"If that's what Sha said, it must be true. Besides, I didn't plan on throwing it away. Because maybe if I do that, this succubus will be tortured again, and I can't possibly let that happen." I thought.
"Hmmm, then. First of all, I want to know what your name is?" I want to know the name of this sucubus, because I feel bad if you call it you or something else.
"My name is Lia."
"Hmmm. Lia, yes. All right, Lia, listen carefully."
"Y-yes."
"From now on, I give you the freedom to do anything."
"Really, sir."
"Yes, and don't call me master."
"Good, sir."
"Hadeh, don't call me master, do you understand."
"So, what should I call you?"
"Call me Hiroakj."
"All right, Hiroaki-sama."
"Good.*-*-*-wait, what did you just say?!!" he called me 'same' on the back and maybe I just misheard it, so I asked him to make sure he came back.
"Hiroaki-sama."
"Where do you know that word 'sama? (intrigued)" considering this is another world, and no one uses the Japanese dialect of this world. It definitely made me curious.
"Must, like someone whispered that to me, Hiroaki-sama."
"Whispering to you?"
"L-yes, his voice is like a man."
"Male, yes." when Lia said male, somehow only 1 person I guess could do that, that is the god Sha.
"What's up, Hikari-sama?"
"Ah, there's nothing." I guess, it's okay if Lia calls me 'same', after all I've never been called that, and if I'm honest, I don't know, I also want to know what it's like to be called 'sama' by someone.
"Well, we'll get out of here."
"Well, Hiroaki-sama."
For some reason at this time, Lia seemed more courageous to speak than she had been. But, I think that's pretty good, even though he's still afraid to look me in the eye.
Lia and I went out of this room.
Kreeksk.
"Hi-chan, are you already" Rin stopped continuing her words after seeing me come out with a girl.
"Wait, let me explain." So there's no misunderstanding, I'll explain.
------- A few minutes explaining --------------
They all understood what had happened to Lia. "Then, I'll heal your wounds first." (By)
"Thank you." Lia looks shy when facing others. Rin begins to heal Lia with healing magic that I don't know when she learned.
"Hiroaki, did you know about the succubus race who likes to tease men."
As Emilia said that, Lia lowered her head. "It seems to be true, what I saw in the anime about the sucubus, if the sucubus is a creature that likes to tease men is true, and that is also true in this world." my thinking.
"Woy woy, don't haphazardly conclude." (telepathy god Sha)
"*What do you mean by Sha?"
"In this world, the succubus race is the most sacred race, I made it so."
"But what Emilia said just now is"
"It is a sucubus that has lost its partner, a sucubus that has no partner, will at least tempt at least 2 men in each year to survive. That's the rule I've set for a female sucubus that's already lost her partner."
"But why don't they just find a new partner."
"It's easy for you to talk like that, but this race of sucubus is a race that only has 1 partner for the rest of its life, and it's very rare to see a sucubus that can find a bride for a partner who's gone."
"That's it, but why?"
"Hmmm. All right, try now imagine. If you've really, really liked Rin and you've managed to be her partner. Then because of an incident, Rin suddenly died, and you were suddenly immediately given a replacement for Rin. Are you gonna take it*?"
Its clear. "*Of course, no.."
"That's the kind of sucubus I make in this world."
"Hmmm, like that, yeah*."
There was 1 thing I forgot to ask the god Sha earlier and maybe this is the time I asked that. "*God Sha, how old is the succubus?"
"Hmmm. So far, it's only been 800 to 2,000 years until they die."
"2000 years, (surprised) seriously*?" The world was only created about 1500 years ago, but its age exceeds the world itself. This is a little confusing for me.
"Yes seriously. Well then, it's a long time ago." (close the telepathy)
From the conversation of the god Sha just now, I get other important information, the fact that the sucubus race is a race that likes to tease men is not entirely true, and the sucubus race is a long-lived race.
"Well, the healing is over." (Rin) Rin had finished healing Lia, and Lia was already looking better now without any wounds on her body.
"Papa, who is he? (pointing towards Lia)"
"Ah, uh." I don't know what to answer to Inori.
"Sorry before, my name is Lia."
"Mama Lia..?"
"Eh..?!" Inori suddenly called Lia by the name of mama.
"What is Hiroaki-sama?"
"Ohh.. Hiroaki-sama, yes." (Rin) Rin's face looks so scary.
"Hiroaki-sama?" (Emilia) Emilia did not understand the word 'sama' spoken by Lia to me, while Rin looked at me with a scary look.
"Can you explain, Hi-ro-a-ki-sa-ma..." (By)
He looked at me with that kind of look and obviously it gave me goosebumps. "Well, I'll explain (fear)" and I start explaining it to Rin, that Lia might be useful to me anyway that's what Sha told me.
-------- After applying --------------------- after
Rinpun began to understand and understand what the god Sha did. "Alright, then, I'll take it. But remember, don't mess with her, remember it's Hi-chan."
"Well." I was forced to follow what he said, because if not, something bad might happen to me, which I never imagined.
"Oh yeah, Emilia."
"What's Hikari?"
"This, (give the paper scroll that the village chief gave me to Emilia) the village chief said, This is proof that the quest has been completed."
"Oh, so. Then we better get back now."
"Come, after all, our task here is done." we also decided to return to the Chamos kingdom, because this quest is finished and there is nothing we have to do anymore in this village.
We left the village and returned to the kingdom of Chamos.
-------- A few hours walk ------------------ A few hours walk
Afternoon, hours - - - - -
We arrived before the gates of the Chamos kingdom. And as usual, the gate was guarded by several guards.
We entered the kingdom. "Sorry, can I know who he is?" (guard 1) The guard looked at Lia. That was only natural, because before I was only with Rin, Emilia, and Inori, while at this time, I brought an additional 1 person.
"I, b-slave belong to Hiroaki-sama."
"A child, yes. All right, you can come in."
"Thank you." (Lie)
"May your days be pleasant." (guardians 2)
We also walked to the guild to report the quest we had finished.
--------- A few minutes walk --------------------- A few minutes walk
We got to the front door of the guild, and we entered.
"Hey, what's a sucubus race? (whispers)" (???)
"It looks like yes. (whispers)" (???)
"What does such a despicable race do here. (whispers)" (??)
"Woy woy woy, come on, I can hear you guys whispering clearly" I thought. They all looked towards Lia, and continued to whisper about Lia, probably because Lia was a sucubus race. And the succubus is considered a despicable race in this kingdom, when in fact it is not. Perhaps they were the only ones who did not know about the truth of the sucubus race, and perhaps all this time, they thought that the sucubus race was a seductive race.
Lia could only bow her head, and I could do nothing, even though I said about the facts of the sucubus race, they did not necessarily believe my words.
I reflexively stroked Lia's head and tried to calm her down. "You take it easy, what they all tell you is not true. So, you should not be ashamed of being a succubus, you should be proud, because the sucubus race is a race blessed by gods."
"Is that true, Hiroaki-sama?"
"Yes right. So Lia, you can't keep your head down anymore."
"Alright, Hiroaki-sama. (smile)" after hearing what I said to her, Lia started to behave as usual. Despite that, Lia still did not dare to look at me. "Is there something wrong with my face?" my thinking.
"Rin, Emilia, Inori, I and Lia will be waiting for you outside the guild. You're the only ones who take the quest rewards."
"All right then." (Rin) It seems like Rin also realized that Lia was the concern of everyone in the guild.
Lia and I went out and waited for Rin and the others outside the guild.
------- A few minutes later -------------
Rin and the others had already finished taking the quest rewards. "Hiroaki, this is the quest reward this time."
I don't know why Emilia gave me the quest coin, I also have a blue card. "You just hold the coin, after all it will be used to buy other purposes, and for now it looks like I don't really need anything."
"Is that so? Yes already.
Grrr.
Inori's stomach sounds. "Ma, I'm hungry.."
"Then, let's go back to the inn now." (By)
"All right." (Inori)
We left the guild and returned to the inn, after all Inori was hungry as well.
------- A few minutes walk --------------- A few minutes walk
We arrived at the inn. "Welcome, sir, madam. Dinner is ready, you can come to the dining room.." (servant)
"Oh is that so?"
"As I expected, the servants in this inn are very deft, even they have prepared dinner." I thought.
"You guys go first, I want to go to the room to put my sword. You guys go first, I'll catch up."
"All right then.."
"Mama, come.."
"Come.."
Rin and Inori go first. "What about you, Emilia? Aren't you coming with them?" Emilia was still standing and it seemed like she wanted to come with me.
"I'm-i..."
Grrr. Emilia's stomach is ringing.
"Have it, you go first, I'll catch up later."
"B-but-..."
"I'll be fine anyway, I'll just be a minute." It looks like Emilia is worried about something, but I don't know what it is.
"Alright, but, I'll also bring Lia along with me, okay?"
"Hmmm, then, just take Lia with you." It doesn't seem bad either. After all, even though Lia said nothing, I knew that she was hungry too, but she did not dare to say that because she was a slave, and a slave should not ask her master. That's what I can conclude.
"But, Hiroaki-sama..."
"Here you go, I know you're hungry anyway."
Lia lowered her head. "eeh? (confused) What I said just now was wrong?" my thinking.
"Well, Hiroaki-sama."
"Then we go first." Emilia and Lia left, while I went back to the room to put all my swords.
Late afternoon (evening), hour - - - - - -
[In the room.]
Right now, I was in the room, and I had also put all my swords in the usual place. "I'd better go to them in the dining room, and I'm hungry right now" and I'm out of the room.
Kreeekk.
"Hiroaki-sama."
"Yahoo!!!" Suddenly Lia was at the door of my room.
"W-did I surprise you, I-I'm sorry Hiroaki-sama."
"Ahh, it's okay."
"W-why is Hiroaki-sama, going to punish me?"
"Just calm down, I won't punish you for a small matter like this."
"really?"
"Yes. Instead of discussing that, we should go to the dining room right now."
"Good."
Lia and I went to the dining room.
-------- A few moments later ----------------
Lia and I reached the dining room. Rin and the others had already eaten first.
"Papa, let's hurry."
"Inori, don't talk when you're eating." (By)
"Good, ma." Inori continued eating.
"Hikari, Lia, let's eat fast."
"Good." I sat on the empty seat, while Lia was still standing next to me. "Lia, what's wrong with you? Let's eat together here." I know that Lia's hungry, but I don't think Lia dares to say that, considering she's a slave.
"A-what can, Hiroaki-sama."
"Of course, from now on, we are family." (Emilia)
"Yes, that's right." (By)
"Mama Lia. (smiling)"
"What they say is true, we are family, and there is no reason for you to be ashamed."
"(tears dripping) Hiroaki-sama, everyone, thank you. (smiling)" Lia sat on one of the empty seats that were beside me.
I know quite well what Lia is feeling right now, after all I also know what it's like to live alone, and I'm quite happy to have a family in this world.
---------- a few minutes later --------------------- a few minutes later
I'm done eating, and the others don't seem finished yet. I stood up and intended to leave this room to return to the room. "I'm done, I'm gonna go back to my room and rest." Besides, I can't wait for them to finish eating.
"Hiroaki-sama, i..."
"You're eating first, you haven't finished eating yet, are you.."
"But..."
"Here you go, you'd better eat first, and don't mind me."
"Well, Hiroaki-sama." Lia continued eating.
"Then I go first." I leave the dining room and rush back to my room.
--------- A few minutes later ----------------- - a few minutes later
Night, hour - - - - -
Right now, I was in my room, and I was lying on a soft bed.
"(counting fingers) Shower, no, shower, no, shower... Ahh, tomorrow is all. I'll sleep first." I don't know why today I was lazy to take a shower and decided to go to bed soon.
------- {Dream} -----------
"Where am I? (confused)" a place I don't know where.
I saw a girl who was no stranger to me. "Rin, is that you?"
The girl turned around and right, she was Rin. "Rin, what are you doing here?"
"Hiroaki." a voice familiar to me rang out behind me.
"Emilia, is that you?" I looked back and it was indeed Emilia.
"Papa.." I also heard Inori's voice.
"Hiroaki-sama." and I also heard Lia's voice.
Right now I am surrounded by 4 girls and as I look around, I also see 2 girls that I do not know also surround me. Yes, even though they are all beautiful women but. "Woy woy woy, sure enough, my little heart is still not ready for something like this."
"Hiroaki."
"Hi-chan."
"Papa."
"Hiroaki-sama."
"hiro."
"Aki."
They all came closer to me and surrounded me. And as I tried to escape from this situation, suddenly my body could not be moved. "Tu-buhku can't be moved. What's the matter? (panics)" they're all getting closer, getting closer....
