IMPORTANT: Territory Leader has now been changed to Captain
Towards The Next
“Fuwaaa~……it’s already morning huh”
I awoke as the bright sunlight shines through the window. I look around my vicinity with my head that still hasn’t fully wake up yet. Thereupon, the left hand of me who’s spacing out is being held between something soft. I look to the left and
“Uhehee~……Hardt-shama~”
, like she’s hugging my left hand, Mylene is stark-naked and sleeping in nude. She always wakes up before I do but, as the reward for her having killed her former comrades yesterday and for the sake of healing her heart that’s hurt from being abused by that man, I did it a little intensely. She’s probably still tired.
Though I’m reluctant to part with the soft sensation, I pull my left hand out from her deep cleavage. Perhaps because the sensation of my left hand is gone, Mylene knits her eyebrows and makes a sorrowful look but, she smiles frivolously again when I caress her head. She’s not……awake, right?
But, the more I think of her who’s pleasantly sleeping beside me as lovely, I feel that I myself am undoubtedly broken.
Because these breasts that I don’t see as anything but lumps of meat and, this face as well that I don’t see as anything but that of an ugly sow before the enslavement, I see them as very beautiful and lovely.
No, to begin with, it’s probably right to feel that way. Even when it’s seen by Liscia who’s also a girl, Mylene is beautiful to the extent that she calls her beautiful. My perspective probably changed.
The reason is simple. I became unable to trust a person who’s not bound by anything. Though the main cause is obvious, it’s the incident in the village. Stabbed throughout the body with a knife by the people I thought were close to me, even stabbed by the person I liked. Furthermore, nobody came to help Okaa-san who was killed before my eyes.
Therefore, I can’t trust an ordinary person. Since I don’t know when they will betray me. In comparison to that, Liscia and the others who were resurrected by my magic power and, Mylene who’s being bound by slavery are my possessions who won’t betray me.
Since the past, I have the principle of taking good care of my things. Naturally, I treat Liscia and the others who became my things with great care, I even feel an attachment to Mylene. On the other hand, I will absolutely not forgive anyone who hurts my possessions.
……I rushed out yesterday because of that though. Because the guy who was Mylene’s former comrade insulted my precious thing, I got irritated unconsciously and rushed out. Since in actuality I should have only been watching without going out, I was told off by Nero for slightly messing up the plan. Well, I don’t regret it though!
However, to have laid my hands on Mylene so quickly was something that even I didn’t think was going to happen. But, I think this is inevitable. A girl that cute is sticking her body to me by herself, you know. There’s no way a virgin can resist it!
While I shout those things within my heart, I put on just my pants and leave the room. Where I’m currently living in is the annexe next to the mansion that the mayor used. Since I need to have the mayor use the mansion, I’m using this.
It becomes the living room right after leaving the room, Liscia is already holding folks in both her hands and waiting for breakfast.
“Oo, morning Master. Yesterday was intense huh.”
“……Oi, don’t say it that way. It’s embarassing”
“It’s fine isn’t it, since it’s the truth. Rather than that, quickly sit down. That Nero says that he won’t serve breakfast until Master is here!”
“Of course, Liscia-sama. We can’t eat before our master who is Creator”
Liscia is complaining and, Nero plates the food and came from the inner part. Though I’m already used to it, a robed skeleton wearing a pink apron is unbearably strange. It’s too mismatched.
Amongst us, Nero is proficient at all the housework. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, goes without saying, he’s even good at sewing.
Nowadays, the matters of the house are left to the skeleton squad that Nero leads. Even if they are skeletons without wills, Nero brings over, putting aside from where, those that can do housework. According to Nero, the technical skills before death are ingrained into them even when they die.
The skeletons other than Nero are also carrying dishes over one by one. I also take a seat at where I usually sit, Mylene who has woke up sits beside me. Because Nero can’t eat, it’s a meal with the three of us.
“By the way, what happened to the soldiers who were captured?”
“Because most of them were already dead, they were made into underlings. The commanders who were leading them are manipulated and returned to the Feudal Lord’s side”
“Alright, then, we’ll be standby until the results come out. After obtaining the Feudal Lord of this territory, summon the surrounding Feudal Lords. I’ll leave the arrangements to Nero. It will be country taking afterwards”
“I understand, Creator. I shall execute your orders”

One week later
“Atra-sama, Atra-sama!”
Outside of the office is the noisy sound of running. And then the vigorously opened door. I knit my brows while I look to the direction of the door. The one who vigorously opened the door and entered was Captain Lischne……how rare. For him to enter in such a hurry.
“Did something happened?”
“The squad that went to subjugate the dead spirit type monsters that run rampant in the port city Flink has returned”
That’s why he entered the room in a hurry huh. However, Captain Lischne’s expression doesn’t look good. Could this be
“However, the ones who return do not even reach 200……”
“What do you mean!? The number of people who went to that town is nearly 2 thousand……”
“Apparently, most of them were killed!”
I sat down in my seat weakly from what Captain Lischne said. The number of 2 thousand that includes the number of adventurers, amounts to almost the number of soldiers in this territory. If that number of people was killed……
“……Anyhow, let’s meet the ones who returned. Where are they?”
“This way”
I follow after Captain Lischne and leave the room. Where I arrived after being led by Captain Lischne was, the mansion’s courtyard. Over there sat soldiers covered in wounds.
Everybody, has no life in their eyes, it feels as though they don’t even have the energy to move. Amongst them came one soldier who noticed us. If I’m not wrong he’s……the soldier who I entrust to command the battle this time. When he came before me, he got on his knees and lowered his head.
“My apologies. We were unable to take back the town!”
The soldier who lowers his head to the extent that it’s touching the ground. I somewhat hold out from nearly losing my strength. I don’t have the leisure to collapse here, I have to somehow think about the matters from now on. However, there was no time to think about that.
The soldiers who were weakly sitting down, started to attack the soldiers and maid who were around. We are overwhelmingly inferior in numbers. Captain Lischne who stood in front trying to protect me was also subdued by close to 10 soldiers.
“Wh, what are you doing! You bastards!”
“Executing…the…orders”
The commander moves closer to me with vacant eyes……he is being manipulated by somebody……kuu, the soldiers grab my arms from behind. I was unable to move and was made to sit down there. Then, grasped within the commander’s hand is a slavery collar that slaves put on.
That collar was put on me before I have any time to even struggle. And then I was ordered. The order is to gather the Feudal Lords who are governing the area.
As Captain Lischne is murdered before my eyes, I move for the sake of completing the order I was given.
