The three of them were teary-eyed, no, Belle was crying, and she hugged me.
"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry I bothered you. We got the matter under control.
Then I just lay there and patted them on the head until they calmed down.
Enough later.
Hey, Leo. Have you had dinner yet? I'm hungry.
Lou, who had been reading the air and keeping quiet, seemed to have run out of patience.
Oh, I'm sorry. Well, let's have dinner then.
It's very dangerous to leave Lou in a hungry state, so we got up quickly .
'I don't mind if they feed me ...... but then again, does Leo like women? I'm going to keep such a pretty girl around and I'm going to be a slave to her too: ......
No, no! I'd like to say .......
'I'd like to deny it, but I've been told a lot lately ...... I mean, that's what Lou said about slaves.
I'm just taking advantage of what Lou said.
What? Really? Didn't Leo tell you that if you win, you can do whatever you want with the one you lost?
I didn't say that!
That's crazy. I said I'd do whatever the winner says if I lost!
Isn't doing whatever you say no different than doing whatever you want ......?
Oh, if you ask me, .......
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
Yes. I'm not sure that's going to change.
Shelly and Leena next to me seemed to agree with Lou: .......
Huh? Aren't you three on my side?
Hmmm, I think I'll get along with the three of you.
He looked at them with a smile on his face, happy that the three of them agreed with him .
''Uh, uh, .......''
Yo, say hi to .......
Oh, please.
I don't know if their smiles scared me or not, but the three of them answered while hiding behind me.
'Well, then, shall we go to dinner?
Maybe having a meal with them will help ease their fears a little.
Yay!
Currently, there were many delicious-looking dishes lined up in front of Lou.
"Wow~. Can I eat all of these?
There was a lot of food and Lou was in a very good mood.
Yeah. Have something to eat.
'Yay! I love Leo!
I'm not that happy to be told that I love you just because you gave me food .
Then Lou was eating a lot of food at a high rate.
"Oh, this is so good! I've never had food this good in my life. If I could eat this every day, I might as well be Leo's slave.
You're too little: .......
That's why you're enslaved: .......
Well, I can't tell him that, but .
'Yeah? That's nice to hear.
While I was working with Lou, Sherry and Leena were eating and talking with each other.
Incidentally, Belle is standing behind them.
As expected, I was told that I couldn't eat with my master in front of the other maids, so I asked her to take care of Sherry and Leena.
''Sherry, aren't you jealous this time?''
No, I don't. She's going to love anyone who gets food. Besides, I don't want to fight her ...... and I don't want to fight her .......
Yeah, you would. If you asked me to fight again, I'd refuse at all costs.
''That's true . I had a lot of feelings about Belle, but I wouldn't feel anything if Lou-san became Leo-kun's slave. On the contrary, I'm scared, so I hope he becomes a slave soon.
Surely, if you were to use destruction magic on a whim, you'd want me to sign a slave contract as soon as possible .
''Hmmm, I won't be Leo's slave just yet. From now on, I'll have to get my bed ready for you.
Lou, who had been listening to their conversation, laughed and said, "I know.
'I know, I know. We have an empty room, why don't we use one of those?
There's plenty of room for you to stay in if you want.
Then we finished eating and I got a room for Lou to sleep in.
You like this room?
Lou's room ended up being the one next to Shelly and Leena's.
'Yeah, it's nice. It's a big room with a bed and lots of space. Then I'm going to be Leo's slave, just like I promised.
They liked it.
To others, would you give a slave such a nice room? I'm afraid you might say that .
Well, if I cared about that, I wouldn't want to make Lou a slave.
It's like keeping a bomb.
'That's good to hear. Then Lou is a criminal slave under the authority of his lord.
'What? Criminal slaves?
'In the meantime, since I'm guilty of destroying the city, I think a crime slave is appropriate. And Lou can't be a debt slave because he doesn't owe me anything. But if you make him a slave for no reason, he'll be an illegal slave. So Lou is a crime slave.
I'll have to get the process right later: .......
I'll ask Miss Flair how to do it .
Yeah. I don't care what kind of slave you are, as long as you feed me properly.
Can't we at least be considerate of that?
That's why you're falling for it.
'Yeah, it felt like it. Well then, let's make a slave contract: ....... I don't want you to destroy the city on a whim.
'I wouldn't do that on a whim! Maybe ......
Did you just hear "maybe"?
Yeah, I don't trust him. Let's do it anyway.
Wait.
Just as I was about to take Lou's hand, Leena waited.
'Hmm? What's going on? Leena.
'Mr. Lou, you were able to kill the slavers, even though you couldn't possibly do it under a slave contract, right? Are you okay with a normal slave contract?
Speaking of which: .......
''That's right. Lou, how did you kill the slavers?
Killing the slavers was an accident. I was so happy when I was freed from my bonds that I used a destructive spell and the building collapsed, and I just died underneath it.
I was so happy that I just had to go to .......
'I'm still afraid the city is going to be destroyed on a whim.
I told you, you can't destroy a city on a whim! Maybe ......
That's what I'm afraid of!
'Yeah, okay. Let's make a slave contract with Lou and then convert the collar into a magical item. That should do the trick.
'Magic items? What's that?
It's a tool that I can use to build with my creation magic. I'll show you later, but for now, let's make a slave contract.
Come on, you need to sign a contract and put a little safeguard on that bomb.
Yeah, all right.
Okay, give me your hand.
Yes.
I took Lou's hand in mine and used dark magic.
"This seals the deal, sweetheart. From now on, Lou will have to do whatever I tell him to do.
It's disgusting. What kind of an order do you think you're going to give me?
What are you talking about?
"Leo?
There was a scary voice behind me.
Won't hurt you! I signed a slave contract with Lou to keep him from destroying the city for now.
I turned to Shelly, not Lou, to plead my case.
'Hmmm, Leo's a real pain in the ass. Oh, by the way, I didn't get your three names. Can you tell me?
Lou laughed at me and asked Shelly and the others what their names were.
"Rihanna. You can call me Rihanna.
I'm Shelia. You can call me Shelly.
I'm Belle.
Lina and Shelly and Belle. I'm Lou. You can call me Lou. We're gonna hang out now, aren't we?
Lou confirmed the three names, then smiled and held out his hand .
''Yes, yes ......''
The three of them freaked out and grabbed Lou's hand.
'Well then, now that we've gotten to know each other a little better, why don't the four of you come take a bath after I finish modifying Lou's collar?
I'm not sure Lou knows how to take a bath.
"Wow, okay, I get it: ......
A bath? What is a bath?
Oh, I knew it. Lou doesn't know how to take a bath.
I'm just gonna have to find out how bad the amnesia is.
A bath is a place to wash yourself. I'll know more once I get in.
All right. So, how are you going to modify my collar?
I'll explain that to you in my room, showing you the ingredients.
I said and went back to my room with Lou and the others.
My creation spell is a spell that allows me to use my magic to create things.
Then he made a doll that looked exactly like Lou and gave it to her.
"Well, your name really does sound like Lou.
As he looked closely at the doll he had received, Lou commented on my magic.
''Yes, that's true. It's just that this magic can be made more complicated if you have the right materials. Like the magic sword I used to fight Lou.
'A magic sword? Ah! You know, that sneaky sword that can attack from a distance.
I don't want to be told that it's not fair ...... and only your destructive magic.
Yeah. It means modifying Lou's collar like that sword.
'What? Are slashes flying from my collar?
I'm sorry, I didn't explain it very well.
It doesn't fly. Just got a special ability, like the sword. Then why don't you alter it or give me your head?
What... Don't you fly? Well, okay. Okay.
Disappointed, Lou snapped his head closer to me.
"Thank you.
I attached the magic stone to Lou's collar and used a creation spell.
Then ...... Lou's collar glowed and the magic stone mixed with it, and the light settled in to complete the collar.
The completed collar looked like it had a beautiful magic stone embedded in the front side.
The ability in question was ......
<Slave collar.
A slave who wears this is not to be disliked by his master, no matter what.
Loving your master greatly accelerates the power of your magic.
It won't cause any abnormalities other than love.
Creator: Léonce Muldaine
Let's see, ...... I can't do anything my master doesn't want me to do anymore, so that's a relief .
The rest of it is the same as the love necklace, but ...... if you think about what would happen if Lou's magic power was greatly accelerated, I'm afraid .......
''Have you finished modifying it?''
Yeah. Look in the mirror.
I created the mirror and gave it to Lou.
Oh, the jewels!
Lou checked the magic stone on the collar in the mirror and flicked it around .
''How is it? Isn't it beautiful?
'Yeah, thanks Leo! I love it!
You're too light, my favorite.
That's why the slavers love to trick you.
I'm glad you like it.
'Hmmm, let's go take a bath then! Come on, Shelly, show me around.
Oh, man, you're a princess in this country, Shelly!
'Wow, okay. ....... Let's get Leena and Belle going too.
Still scared of Lou, Shelly couldn't say anything and began to guide him.
Yes. Shall we go?
Okay. Master Leo, we'll go in after you.
Yeah, you better get warmed up!
I said that and left the four of them alone.
"Well, does this remove most of the obstacles to me running the estate?
I was left alone in my room and muttered something like that .
It's been quite an intense few days, starting with the revelation of Gotts' corruption and eventually enslaving Lou, who was destroying the black market city: .......
Well, it's just the beginning.
How do you think we're going to change this city now: ......
I've got a lot of money, so I can do whatever I want to do.
That's why I'm struggling with what to do. .......
I was looking at my city from my room and fantasizing about doing this, that, and the other things I wanted to do.
