Idle Talk 1: Idle Talk: Maiden Slave
The village I lived in was attacked by thieves. The n were killed and the won were violated. When mother died, I was with father and we failed to escape. Father was killed and children like were caught and, just like that, we were sold.
The thieves sold us to soone called a broker and we were brought to Volton.
But we thought it was still better than hell. The reason being that the one who bought us was Moulin-sama of the Moulin Slavery company who has a policy of not selling children until they beco adults.
The Feudal Lord who governs Volton also seems to be a person who rules benevolently. Thanks to that, the Moulin Slavery Company that is based in this town does not treat its slaves cruelly.
Moulin-sama, contracted us illegal slave children with the sa terms as those of debt slaves. The terms are that we could be released once we save up the sum of expenses used until we beca adults plus the company’s profits at the ti of our sale.
Wanting to be released as soon as possible, there were so children who had agreed to prostitution contracts and were bought by brothels, but I wanted to work my hardest to take back my own life.
At Moulin Slavery Company, with reading, writing, and calculations as a matter of course, we were taught from good etiquette up to how to use a knife for self-defense.
「You can beco a battle maid.」
What Moulin-sama wanted from , I don’t know, but this experience later beca a huge asset for .
「Since you are pretty, you can live an easy life if you beco a noble’s mistress.」
Moulin-sama says that but nobles disregarding contracts altogether is scary. Forcing soone to spend the night without that person’s consent is a cri, but that would be unscrupulously scrapped if it’s a powerful noble.
However, I am not in a position where I could choose the master who buys .
So I pray to Goddess Norn everyday.
Please, make it so that a kind master buys .
At that ti, soone who bought the elf war slave, Sophia-san, appeared.
Sophia-san lost her right arm, left leg, and an ear in a war. However, that doesn’t obscure Sophia-san’s beauty even the slightest.
With Sophia-san like that, how has she remained unsold for as long as 50 years? That is because Sophia-san could not use magic.
It wouldn’t be strange for nobles and wealthy rchants to want an elf that can use strong Spirit magic, and is also beautiful. If those elf characteristics and said magic are lost, the value is halved.
Furthermore, since Sophia-san herself refuses to sleep with the other party, there are no buyers, says Moulin-sama.
I think that’s probably not everything.
The one who bought Sophia-san is a silver haired young man the sa age as .
Why do I know? Aside from Sophia-san, that person wants another slave to keep his secrets. And Moulin-sama recomnded to that person.
When it cos to keeping the master’s secrets, debt slaves are first excluded. Debt slaves are relatively cheap, so the ti until their release is short. Once released, their contract to keep the secret is lifted, so debt slaves are excluded from the choices.
Because war slaves are people who were sold by other countries when a prisoner exchange or reparations were not carried out, many have disabilities, no place to return to, or have special circumstances barring them from returning. And above all, I heard that war slaves are mostly expensive, and exceedingly few are set free.
And illegal slaves. including , have no place to return to and have no blood relatives or acquaintances either. When freed from slavery, they wouldn’t know how to make a living. That being the case, there are many who think it’s easier to just live their whole lives as slaves.
Thanks to Moulin-sama, we haven’t given up on life, but realistically, I think buying myself back and being released from slavery is difficult.
And so, when the master who bought Sophia-san wants another slave that would manage his mansion, Moulin-sama recomnded .
At that ti, I was glad I might be bought.
「I am Takumi. Maria-san, please allow a to ask few questions. If I take you back with , I would like for you to manage my ho but would that be a problem? The rooms in the house are a living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor, and four bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, but if this is too difficult to manage alone, I would like for you to tell how many people would be necessary.」
Master politely interacted even with , a slave. That gentle aura and staring at his cool eyes, my heart wouldn’t stop throbbing.
So I’d be bought by Master, I went so far as to show off.
「Master, I will endeavor to forever stay by your side.」
Bought together with Sophia-san, I naturally said so.
What ca after was a succession of surprises.
The first surprise was, while we were on the way to the mansion, Master said that Sophia-san’s curse has been dispelled. Sophia-san has, in fact, beco able to use magic, and seeing Sophia-san’s delight pleased as well.
The second surprise was when Master’s familiar, a large spider, Kaede-chan was introduced. My apologies but I could not control my face from cramping up.
The third surprise is that there is a large bath in the mansion and Sophia-san and I who are slaves are encouraged to use it freely.
Guiding us through the mansion and surprising us with the bathroom, Master filled the tub with hot water with the affixed magic device[1], told us to use it as we wish and left.
Excitedly, Sophia-san and I enjoyed a bath that one wouldn’t experience if they weren’t a high ranking noble.
Lastly, the fourth surprise is that Master healed Sophia-san’s lost limbs. It’s been said that not even the high ranking priests in the Divine Empire of Sydnia could heal lost limbs.
Just who could Master be? He might be a familiar spirit of Goddess Norn-sama.
At this ti, Sophia-san decided that she would serve Master his whole life.
Sophia-san wanted to sleep with Master and he accepted. The next day, naturally, I too wanted to sleep with him, and so my mind and body beca Master’s.
Thereafter, aside from doing my duties at the mansion, I wished for power to protect master’s secrets together with Sophia-san.
To always be with Master.
