Chapter 126
Chapter 126 â Dark Elf
Shortly after having left, Chianelas returns along with the dark elf.
Ooooohhh! She came! Sheâs here!
Iâm sorry for Chianelas, but Iâm already head over heels in love with this dark elf.
I guess her height is above 160 centimeters? (ED: 5â3â)
The characteristic face guard is affixed to the upper section of her right cheek.
Long silver hair and beautiful silver pupils.
The red hue glistening as it blends into the silver color remains unchanged.
Since sheâs adorned with a silver mask, I can only see the left side of her, but even so, her bluish-white skin suits her very well; it gives her a sort of transcendent, pure beautyâŠ
I havenât actually ever seen her before, but I believe you could say that the dark elf is a peerless beauty that wouldnât lose even to Yang Guifei. (T/N: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Guifei)
Her long, slightly curved elven ears are certainly wonderful as well.
Same as before, sheâs wearing a black collar that tightly constricts her neck, as proof of her being a slave.
The equipment, unlike the
bikini armor
and
garter belt
that she wore before, was a kind of
thick, sleeveless vermilion leather dress
that exposes her shoulders.
Rather than being a dress, itâs more like a defensive armor, huh?
Itâs shape is similar to that of a tailcoat, extending down, all the way from her back to her feet.
Unique patterns have been embroidered onto the surface of the thick, vermilion leather, using a combination of yellow, red and black threads, while the fringe has been beautifully outlined with silver thread.
I could tell immediately upon seeing it that itâs quite the high-class armor.
And, I know Iâve said this many times over, but still, her skin is just too damn charming.
That bluish-white tone visible at her shoulders⊠makes me feel as if looking into a glisteningly clean lake.
She seems to be wearing a thin, worn-out cloth below her scarlet leather armor.
Though, I think itâs regrettable that I canât see her collarbone thanks to the choker restraining her neck.
At her waist hangs two long swords from a black belt adorned with golden thread.
The two longswords sheâs equipped with seem to be the same steel ones she had the other day.
But, rather than the two longswords, my gaze is naturally drawn to her long, model-like legs.
Oh man, the black tights sheâs wearing that end at her thighs are nice.
Iâm intrigued by their bewitching ambiance.
Also just like before are the long boots that are covering her feet.
The boots, made out of dark red leather fashioned in a mature gladiatorial pattern, look like they fit nicely as they cover the soles of her feet like sandals.
At first glance, they look like sandals, but considering they are covering both her ankles and her knees with red leather, itâs obvious that they are actually just long boots.
⊠Chianelas takes a seat on the sofa after arriving with the lovely dark elf alongside him.
The dark elf is holding a hand-held bag as her only luggage.
â⊠Letâs begin the trade then, Shuuya-san.â (Chianelas)
He places some documents, a writing quill, and a container of ink onto the table, in that order.
To top it all off, he sets down some kind of potion stored inside a jar, alongside a set of knives.
The dark elf sits in a seiza next to the sofa, her head lifting straight up as she calmly pushes out her chest.
âI entrust all of this to you.â Thatâs the kind of feeling Iâm getting from her pose.
Well then, I should probably take the money out now.
âGot it. Iâll go ahead and prepare the money.â (Shuuya)
I take out three large platinum coins and 50 platinum coins from my item box and place them on the table.
âWell then, previously I stopped in the middle of explaining, but I will continue now. She is a dark elf. Just that fact alone makes her a precious person of much value, but for your information, sheâs a far more rare being than just a plain dark elf.â (Chianelas)
Rare, huh?
âSo sheâs some kind of unusual being?â (Shuuya)
âYes. â Show him. This person will be the one to become your master, after all.â (Chianelas)
Chianelas orders the dark elf sitting next to me, her chest puffed outwards.
âYes.â
Upon giving her tranquil reply, the dark elf calmly lowers her head to remove the silver face guard, all while intently staring at me.
Ooh? Itâs a beautiful butterfly.
A shining silver butterfly, one so beautiful and artistic that thereâs seemingly no reason to have concealed it, is drawn on her skin.
Upon touching the silver butterfly tattoo with her finger, it begins to squirm as if it were alive.
As it squirms, another silver butterfly comes out of it, transferring onto the fingertip touching it, after which it flaps over to the back of her hand, all while displaying a gleaming brightness.
The silver butterfly stops near her wrist, resting there as if it were resting atop a tree branch.
The silver butterfly pattern then settles onto the back of her hand.
Although Iâm surprised by the silver butterflyâs mobility, I canât help feeling that itâs fascinating actions have something emotionally touching to them.
Moreover, the main butterfly mark on her cheek is radiating a strong, energetic mana.
ăYour Excellency, please maintain caution. I can sense an extremely powerful mana emanating from the original butterfly. I believe the silver mask is a special item meant to suppress her manaâŠă (Helme)
Helme appears in the corner of my vision to give me a warning.
ăSeems so, doesnât it?ă (Shuuya)
ăHowever, considering how only the butterfly is emitting mana, sheâs obviously very skilled.ă (Helme)
Certainly, it seems very likely that sheâs already mastered the Magic Combat Style.
ăYou appear to be correct. Itâs quite faint, but the circulation of her mana is quite smooth as well.ă (Shuuya)
I give my honest impression as I stare at the body of the dark elf beauty.
ăYes. How could such an extraordinary person like that become a slaveâŠ?ă (Helme)
ăWho knows.ă (Shuuya)
Helme in her miniature form floats a question mark above her head, before vanishing in a swirling spiral.
Upon narrowing my eyes as if I were suspicious, Chianelas begins informing me about her situation.
â⊠Please, there is no need to worry, as she canât attack her master. Also, the butterfly dwelling on her cheek is actually an extra skill.â (Chianelas)
For real? Iâm given a formal explanation by Chianelas.
Huh, extra skill; I possess four of those. He does mean that kind of extra skill, right?
âExtra skill, you sayâŠ?â (Shuuya)
ăAs expected. You had seen through her right from the start, resulting in you picking a really excellent person as a subordinate.ă (Helme)
Helme, whoâd disappeared from sight, speaks to me via telepathy.
Well, me having chosen her in particular is just a coincidence though. Anyhow, I guess the silver butterfly on her cheek is an insignia for her extra skill.
âYes, it is indeed an extra skill. Please speak to her directly if you wish to learn of its effect. And, although it deviates a bit from our talk, I must warn you: there has been many cases of people getting kidnapped or killed without question, due to their race or due to their identities as slaves in distant countries outside of the Southern Mahaheim area, usually in those to the north. Please remember that, since itâs an indispensable bit of knowledge when going on a journey. ⊠Well then, Shuuya-san, Iâll need you to cut your finger with this knife, then dribble your blood onto this slaveâs collar.â (Chianelas)
Upon placing the silver face guard back onto her face, the dark elf once again lifts her chin, displaying her long neck as she pushes out her chest.
The silver butterfly pattern on the back of her hand vanishes upon the face guard being put back on.
Leaving that aside, is blood really needed here?
â⊠Is that absolutely necessary?â (Shuuya)
âYes. Itâs the standard for slave trading.â (Chianelas)
Will I actually be able to form a contract with my blood? Such a worry crosses my mind.
After all, I possess a body with both, the light and the darkness attribute.
No matter how I look at it, that collarâs definitely of the darkness attribute.
I have the light attribute within my bloodâŠ
Wonât I just break itâŠ?
Though, I think it will be alright if it reacts purely to the presence of mana within my blood, like the how the guild card works.
As Iâm hesitating,
â⊠Whatâs wrong?â (Chianelas)
â⊠No, Iâm just wondering whatâll happen with the collar, you know?â (Shuuya)
âItâs a collar of subordination, so the darkness spell will only work by way of the magic gem of darkness, located on the collar, reacting to the mana contained within your blood, Shuuya-san.â (Chianelas)
I see, I suppose it should be fine then as long as thereâs mana present?
Well whatever; if it breaks, it breaks. Anyhow, itâll probably work out one way or another.
The knife seems ordinary, considering I canât sense any mana emanating from it.
Time to get this over with, huh?
I cut my finger near the dark elfâs collar, and let some blood dribble onto it.
The instant the collar receives my blood, the obsidian gem at the collarâs center begins to shine with a bright light.
I curiously eye the intense glow.
The glow quickly spreads, soon encompassing the entirety of the small obsidian.
A small magic crest floats up to the surface of the shining gem.
One by one, more similarly small magic crests rise up to the surface, stacking on top of each other like the forming of a barrier.
After having deployed three of these thin, simple magic crests, they all start to vanish, folding upwards as they begin to sink back into the obsidian gem.
The collar, having absorbed the crests, breaks in half, alongside the gem, with a cracking sound.
The dark elfâs collarbone, as well her pale, bluish-white skin, have been exposed.
Besides that though, I also notice some sort of small snake thing, colored with a mixture of black and dark green, permeate through the beautiful skin right below her neck.
Huh? Whatâs with that snake-shaped lump of mana?
The mana snake, visible within her skin, disappears as it swims away.
Before long, a black ring rises to the surface of her skin.
The central part of the black ring seems to be made of a bunch of small roses?
Several faint, flower-like items rise to the surface.
Thereâs nothing unnatural about it. It looks to be the seal of the black ring.
It looks as if the black ringâs seal, located near her collar bone, had already been carved into her skin a long time ago.
Well anyways, everything seems to have concluded safely.
The dark elf coughs weakly.
Eh? The dark elf reveals a pained expression as she struggles to breath.
Is it a failure?
âThe obsidian ended up breaking in a strange way, but well, it should be alright. Please, I assure you that thereâs no need to worry; this is something that always happens at the time of forming a contract. Now, Shuuya-san, please use this potion for the cut on your finger.â (Chianelas)
Heâs telling me to use this to heal the wound on my finger?
I mean, itâll heal even if I just leave it alone.
Or rather, itâs already closed itselfâŠ
Since it would only draw me needless suspicion, I drink the potion to deceive him.
âEverything will be concluded upon signing this document. Given that itâs a special document, the slave will also be exempted from the poll tax. The slaveâs signature is necessary as well, but she still canât write the characters of the common language perfectly. Therefore, only her thumb print is necessary.â (Chianelas)
It appears that sheâll be excluded from taxes.
In addition, thereâs a standard set of rules written on the parchment, stating that the masterâs orders are absolute, that the slave shanât hurt their master, and that they must preserve their own body to the best of their abilities, just like the three principles of robotics. (ED: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics)
I donât feel any mana from it either, so itâs just a high-grade parchment.
I sign my signature on the paper with the quill.
The dark elf, whoâs pain seems to have subsided, presses her thumb on the paper after dipping it in ink.
âCongratulations. With this the contract has been established. Now she canât defy you, her master, anymore. If she does, her neck will be constricted, causing her to suffer. As you can directly tamper with the collarâs seal on her chest by touching it, please set the level of punishment to what youâd prefer. By the way, even if you adjust it to the lowest level, quite the amount pain will still assail her. Moreover, even if sheâs far away from her master, you will know her whereabouts. Also, since the slave will die automatically upon their masterâs death, she wonât ever betray you.â (Chianelas)
As Chianelas is talking with a face full of cheerful smiles, he puts the large platinum coins I used as payment into a bag, and stores the documentâs transcript into a sturdy leather briefcase.
I store the document in my item box.
Right after I finish operating my bracelet, the dark elf, whom Iâve just bought, draws close to me, then kneels down on one knee.
ââ Master, thank you very much for having bought me. Please treat me favorably from now on.â
âA-Aye.â (Shuuya)
A beauty has suddenly gotten very close to me⊠and umm⊠master, huh?
Iâve ended up losing my composure a little bit.
âShuuya-san, the luggage the dark elf possesses as well as everything sheâs carrying on-hand is included in the price, so please feel free to take it with you, okay? Ah, if you want to amuse yourself at once, I can make some time available for you so we may go to the slave company right now?â (Chianelas)
Heâs really skilled at customer service.
Or rather, since Iâm going to the adventurerâs guild at noon, I guess the slave company has to wait for another day.
I donât know how many days Iâll spend in the labyrinth, so letâs schedule it for another time.
â⊠Iâm sorry, I do want to look at the other slaves as well, but I just remembered that I already have plans made for today. Would it be fine for me to come here again some other time?â (Shuuya)
âYes, by all means. Since I shall also be looking for high-class slaves that suit you, Shuuya-san, youâre welcome to come visit at any time, okay? You will be able to enter here whenever youâd prefer as long as you have the cloth badge.â (Chianelas)
âUnderstood. Chianelas-san, please take care of me at that time.â (Shuuya)
âYes. Do come visit again
without fail
.â (Chianelas)
Chianelas slightly squints his eyes as he speaks.
I leave my seat and fix my gaze on the super-beautiful dark elf.
â⊠Letâs go then?â (Shuuya)
âYes, master.â
Master, huh?
For some reason, it just doesnât quite seem to suit me.
However, I wonât give her some sort of clichĂ© order like âDonât call me master.â
Taking the dark elf along, I exit through the entranceway.
Rollo hasnât returned yet.
She should be somewhere in this garden full of blooming flowers, butâŠ
This seems like a good opportunity to talk with her, so I continue walking for a while.
Leaving the stone path, we enter a grassy plot filled with various types of flowers.
The large cotton roses are very pretty.
There are also several pinkish-white blossoms among the plain white cotton roses.
These are called cotton rosemallow?
I think I heard that they bloom for only one day. In the morning theyâre white while in the evening theyâre dyed pink, or something like that.
I guess some of the flowers from Earth also grow in this world.
â⊠So, whatâs your name?â (Shuuya)
Stopping, I pluck a pretty, white lotus flower and pin it into the dark elfâs silver hair as I ask her.
â⊠Itâs something that you must decide on, master.â
She stops right behind me, kneels down and states that.
I have to decide on a name? Although itâs rather clichĂ©-like, even this dark elf should have had a name in the past.
âYou had one in the past, didnât you?â (Shuuya)
âYesâŠâ
She lowers her face and answers.
I wonât say something nice such as âYou donât have to answer if you donât want toâ here.
Sheâs already my slave after all.
âTell me.â (Shuuya)
The dark elf lifts her face, then, after a short pause, reluctantly speaks as she furrows her brows in hesitation.
ââŠâ, she sighs, âMy name is Viine Dao Azmail. I come from the ăUnderground City DaâUmerazană. Being the second daughter of the ă12th ranked Sorcery Noble Azmail Householdă, I lived a good life due to the Azmail familyâs flourishing in the Underground City DaâUmerazan. But, during the third week of the Shinra* month, the Azmail household was destroyed by the joint efforts of theăFifth ranked Sorcery Noble Langibad Householdă and the ă11th ranked Sorcery Noble Squad Householdă after a dispute occurred, the team up being looked down upon as pure cowardice. As a result, I was captured and expelled to the Above-the-Cover worldâ the surface⊠the one who picked me up on the surface was Magul, a human slave trader. After that, I was passed back and forth through the hands of several slave dealers, until I finally arrived at Chianelasâ place. And, for the sake of being sold expensively at the large-scale auction called the Underground Auction, I piled up many experiences at Chianelasâ place.â (Viine) (T/N: It translates to Divine Fabric or something similar, but itâs too bulky :p)
Her name is Viine Dao Azmail, huh?
From the Underground City DaâUmerazanâŠ
Second daughter of the ă12th ranked Sorcery Noble Azmail Householdă.
Does her being a the second daughter of a noble family mean that she was originally a sheltered young lady?
According to what sheâs said, I suppose sheâd been exiled to the surface after being defeated in the power struggle between âSorcery Nobles Householdsâ.
The name ăUnderground City DaâUmerazană, where she lived, as well as calling the surface area as âAbove-the-Coverâ, the human called âMagulââŠ
It matches with the words I exchanged with the dwarf Roa, whom Iâd met underground by chance, when I was first brought to this world.
Iâm slightly curious about the social structures of the dark elvesâ society.
But whatever, I guess itâd be okay to just get her to tell me the details at her own pace, bit by bit, in the future.
Just as she was once called in the past, I will call her Viine.
â⊠Viine â is it okay for me to call you that?â (Shuuya)
â⊠Fine.â (Viine)
She shows a far more unwilling expression than the one from before.
Her face shows how on guard she is as wrinkles form on her forehead, but nevertheless you can also clearly grasp that her face is full of scorn.
She doesnât seem overly happy with me, but thatâs fine.
âAlright, let me introduce myself. Iâm Shuuya Kagari, a C-rank adventurer.â (Shuuya)
â⊠Okay.â (Viine)
Viine squints her eyes and observes me as if to measure my strength.
She gathers mana in her eyes. Itâs Magic Observation.
âViine, looks like you can use Magic Observation, huh?â (Shuuya)
âY-Yes.â (Viine)
Her silver pupils dilate and constrict a bit in shock.
The brilliance around her pupils, which was a mix of red and silver, shifts.
She should have seen me using Magic Observation before as well, so why is she surprised?
âDonât be so tense. I heard that you dived into the labyrinth as well, but up to which floor did you advance to within the labyrinth, Viine?â (Shuuya)
âUntil the fourth floor.â (Viine)
âSolo?â (Shuuya)
âNo, it was together with skilled adventurers and several combat slaves that were arranged by Chianelas.â (Viine)
That makes sense. It would have been bad if his merchandise ended up getting injured, wouldnât it?
âI see. I still havenât gone any further than the second floor. Anyhow, Iâm an adventurer, so Iâll have you dive together with me on those occasions, okay?â (Shuuya)
âYes, please leave it to me.â (Viine)
Viine says with a tone that makes one sense her confidence.
Her thin, silver eyebrows remain stiff, not moving even a little.
âAnd, thereâs also my partner and pet, Rollo. She should be taking a stroll around here at the momentâŠâ (Shuuya)
ââ Nyaa~o, nyaooon.â
Oh, speak of the devil. Itâs Rolloâs voice.
Upon looking in the direction the sound had came from, I see Rollo standing on top of the branch of a tall pine tree, acting as if she were the lion kingâŠ
What are you doing⊠I feel like sheâd done the same thing a long time ago.
I endure my desire to interrogate her for nearly an hour with âYou want to enter the Shiki Theatre Company and act in a play?â (T/N Probably a reference to something)
âThe black cat, whoâs climbed onto that tree, is my partner & pet. Her name is Rollodeen, or Rollo for short.â (Shuuya)
âUnderstood. Sheâs a cute cat, isnât she?â (Viine)
âYeahâ Heeey, come back already.â (Shuuya)
âNya.â
Her ears stick up in an adorable manner, apparently having heard my voice. She then gives a short reply and proceeds to jump up as if she were flying off the tall treeâs branch.
Before colliding with the ground, she extends her tentacles downwards to cushion the impact.
Without stopping, she then returns the extended tentacles back to her nape, runs over, and climbs onto my shoulder.
Viine seems to be curious about the tentacles growing out of Rollo. She observes the tiny tentacles extending from the catâs nape.
âRollo, this is our new friend, Viine.â (Shuuya)
âNyao, nyaan.â
Rollo lifts her paw and greets Viine by tapping my shoulder.
Going by her look and voice, I think itâs a greeting along the lines of ăThis great me is your senpai nya. Best regards nya.ă.
âShe understands words?â (Viine)
âNya? Nnn, nyaa!â
Sheâs protesting or something like that. She hits my shoulder three times in a row.
âThatâs correct. Sheâs no mere familiar. Sheâs a divine beast! She can also grow from the current small black cat size to that of a big gryphon. Her tentacles have bone swords attached to them, allowing her to use them for attacking. Her fangs and claws are strong as well. In addition to all that, she can also breathe King Class flames from her mouth.â (Shuuya)
â⊠T-Thatâs far too amazing. It should be Rollo-sama then.â (Viine)
Viine trembles in surprise, bows her head after a glance at Rollo as if to apologize, and goes down on one knee.
âNya.â
Rollo looks down at her triumphantly upon hearing my explanation.
âThatâs how it is. Anyways, please stand up, Viine.â (Shuuya)
âYes!â, she nods and gets up.
âKeep the kneeling down to a minimum when weâre outside and in front of others, okay?â (Shuuya)
âYes! I understand.â (Viine)
She moves her thin, long brows a bit and bows.
âGood. I donât mind you doing as you please if itâs just us two in a room or something similar. Well then, letâs have a chat while we walk.â (Shuuya)
âYes.â (Viine)
Viine takes out a bow and quiver from her hand-held bag, and shoulders the bag like it were a rucksack.
Does that also serve as a backpack?
Afterwards, she affixes the bow near to her hips by hanging it from her backpack.
Well then, I should give Helme a heads-up, considering how I plan to keep the Water Spirit of Everlasting Darkness Helme a secret from Viine.
I focus on Helme and address her.
ăHelme.ă (Shuuya)
ăYes, Your Excellency.ă (Helme)
Helme comes into view while twirling around.
ăI think you are up-to-date on the gist of things since you heard our talk, but still, please take care of Viine, as she has become our new comrade.ă (Shuuya)
ăYes, as you command.ă (Helme)
ăI still havenât mentioned you, Helme, but I might do so in the near future.ă (Shuuya)
ăUnderstood. Iâm ready to come out whenever.ă (Helme)
The miniature Helme-chan nods her head with a bob.
ăGot it. You can leave for now.ă (Shuuya)
ăYes!ă (Helme)
Helme vanishes from sight.
While conversing mentally with Helme, Viine and I pass through the garden with its beautiful flowers, and continue along the stone path leading towards the groundsâ exit.
As soon as we exit through the stone gate, I open my mouth.
âNext weâll be heading to the adventurerâs guild. I have an appointment with a friend. Therefore, Iâm sorry for being abrupt, but Iâll have to have you challenge the labyrinth together with us and said friend in a party. And remember this: the basic rule is
Oneâs life comes first, all else comes second
. Since Iâll be alright on my own, value your own life, alright? And last but not least, treat our party members politely and refrain from killing anyone without getting permission from me.â (Shuuya)
Given that I donât know what might happen with her, the last part is very important.
âUnderstood.â (Viine)
As I gaze at Viine, who replies as she bows, I ask her,
âSo, whatâs your main way of fighting, Viine?â (Shuuya)
âThe two swords at my waist are my main weapons, but I can also use archery, wind magic, lightning magic and darkness magic from a distance. Additionally, due to my extra skill <Dance Art of the Silver Butterfly>, Iâm also strong at support and illusion magic.â Viine explains proudly.
âHee, looks like youâre capable of various things. Firstly, please tell me the details regarding the support and illusion magic.â (Shuuya)
âOkay. The extra skill <Dance Art of the Silver Butterfly> is activated by touching the silver butterfly on my cheek with oneâs hand. Itâs a magic-like skill that is invoked after linking with the
hand seal
on the hand that touched it. Its support skill is <Silver Shallowtail Butterfly>. This has the effect of raising oneâs defense against magic by applying the Silver Shallowtail Butterflyâs blessing to a designated area. On the other hand, the illusion art is called . It creates countless speckled, silver butterflies at a specified area. Those who enter the range of this illusion art, whether itâs people or monsters, see various hallucinations, causing them to lose any sense of direction. Shortly afterwards, all five of their senses will be stolen, resulting in them becoming incapable of fighting. In the worst case, itâs also possible for them to die.â (Viine)
Whoa, stealing the five senses is pretty cruelâŠ
As expected of an extra skill.
âWow. So that means you can do anything from close-combat to ranged combat, Viine?â (Shuuya)
âYes.â (Viine)
An immediate reply. Thatâs a high-class slave for you. It seems she is rather confident in her combat ability.
Only half of her face is visible, but it gives me the impression that sheâs quite battle hardened.
Even so, itâs still just an impression.
Since thereâs a hole for the eye in the silver maskâs face guard, I can at least see her pupil, but itâs difficult to grasp her expression from that alone.
â⊠I will tell you about how I fight as well. â This is my main weapon. My magic attribute is
mainly
water attribute.â (Shuuya)
I summon the Magic Halberd into my right hand while walking.
âAnd, I can manipulate a chain with my left hand.â (Shuuya)
Extending my arm and lifting my left hand diagonally, I calmly eject a <Chain> out of the <Chain Factor> mark on my wrist.
âIt allows me to deal with short and long distance engagements.â (Shuuya)
â⊠As one would expect of you, master.â (Viine)
I could see a clearly disturbed expression on the side of her face that isnât covered.
I suppose that sort of reaction is only natural, considering how weapons are suddenly appearing and disappearing out of nowhere?
âViine, are you nervous?â (Shuuya)
âN-No, the weapon, which you let me see just now, can you summon it at any time?â (Viine)
âI canâ.â (Shuuya)
I make the Magic Halberd appear in my right hand once more, and twirl the violet metal shaft vertically with just one hand. After handling it as if I were playing with a toy, I make it disappear.
âI underestimated you, master.â (Viine)
âOh, how nice. Words of praise from a beautyâŠâ (Shuuya)
â⊠Thatâs reasonable after seeing your abilities, master.â (Viine)
She squints her eyes and gives a cold, scornful laugh.
For some reason, sheâs giving me a thorny impression.
Looks like she wants to test her strength, doesnât she?
I donât know what sheâs keeping hidden within her heart.
She might actually be brimming with dissatisfaction for all I knowâŠ
However, it appears that her neck will be wrung if she violates my orders. It seems that I can adjust the strength using the black ring located under her clavicle, so I guess I might as well try testing it out a bit.
