Chapter 26: Lord
The golden residence, Ribek.
Madway, Agafon, and Gerashim were gathered in the conference room.
The four of us were seated at a round table.
Risha and Mira distributed paper in turn.
The pages were filled with words, but the three of them signed it almost without reading it.
「Oioi, that’s a contract. Is it ok not to read what’s in it?」
「Well it’s sothing that Akito-san made.」
Madway answered, being the one who had known the longest.
「So there’s no problem.」
I wanted to retort but Agafon and Gerashim said sothing similar.
「I’m of the sa opinion. If Akito-san wanted to trick us, he could’ve long ago.」
「That’s true. He wouldn’t have had to go around doing aningless things like this.」
Hearing what the two of them said, Madway folded his arms and nodded sagely.
They trust almost to a surprising extent.
「Well then, all that’s left is Akito-san.」
Gerashim said, and the two others looked at .
All that’s left is for to sign.
I looked at the parchnt in my hand and signed.
The parchnt that I had made with my DORECA began to shine with light.
Contract complete. I have beco the Lord of this community of four towns.
*********************************************
I exited the gold mansion and looked up at the sky.
Risha walked up next to .
「Master, I have confird it. There is no one else left inside.」
「I see.」
「Since you had everyone leave, are you going to do sothing?」
「Yeah. nu Open.」
Holding my DORECA I opened my nu.
I chose one of the new functions that had appeared when it turned into a silver card.
—Dismantling—
I chose that, then designated the golden mansion.
「Oioi, this costs 500,000 magic?」
I unknowingly spoke out in my amazent.
Dismantling is used to break things down into their base parts.
You can break down things like structures or tools, but you need to pay a suitable fee of magic.
When I selected Marato’s golden mansion, the cost was a ridiculous 500,000.
「Master are you going to fix this building?」
Risha asked. She didn’t understand because this was the first ti I’d used Dismantling.
「No, it’s the opposite. I’m going to destroy it.」
「Destroy it?」
「Yeah. If there’s sothing like this in town, no one’s going to be happy.」
This golden mansion was a symbol of Marato’s tyrannical reign. From what I’d heard, most of the 「Protection fee」 from Ribek and Bisk were used to build this mansion.
So it is essentially a symbol of tyranny.
「I understand.」
Risha nodded.
At that mont Mira appeared.
She returned to us with a smile on her face.
「What’s up Mira? Did you find sothing good?」
「Yes! Please look Master!」
Mira showed and Risha what she found.
「What’s this?」
「It’s a bow ornant desu」
Mira said with a big smile.
「Just a bit ago I was at a shop and I said it looked good so they gave it to . They also gave one for Risha-san」
She said and held out another to Risha.
「That’s right, they said to send their regards to Master.」
「That’s……」
Not very good I thought but,
「What’s wrong Master?」
Mira doesn’t seem to understand.
Risha looked as though she did. The slave senpai knit her eyebrows in displeasure at her kouhai.
「Mira, do you know what you just did?」
「Eh? D-did I do sothing bad?」
「You…this is almost the sa as Master using his power to extort people. Most of the people in this town know that Mira is Master’s, and now they are unable to go against him.」
「Ah——」
Mira’s face paled.
「I-I’m sorry! I’ll go return it!」
Mira disappeared in monts…then ca back just as fast.
「I’m sorry Master! I didn’t understand what was happening!」
「Well, as long as you returned it——」
「Mira we are Master’s slaves. If we were to do sothing to cause problems as Master’s slaves, wouldn’t we be staining Master’s good na? Isn’t that right?」
At Risha’s words, Mira got paler and paler.
By the end she was shaking.
She seed like the world was going to end tomorrow.
「I-I’m so sorry Master! I didn’t an it desu!」
Well, this is Mira we’re talking about, she’s pretty na?ve. This ca about because of the other side’s unnecessary consideration.
If this is as far as it goes then I don’t really mind. As long as she returned it properly.
「It’s alright.」
「………」
For so reason, Mira looked as if she was about to cry.
I forgave her, but why does she look like that.
「Master」
Risha spoke to from the side.
「I’m sorry for causing you trouble. However, she made such a large error as a slave, I believe that a punishnt should be administered.」
Administer punishnt. That sounds a bit cruel.
But the mont Risha said that, Mira nodded vigorously.
It was a reaction that practically scread ‘Please do so Master’.
Is this——sothing I should be doing?
But I have a policy of loving and admiring my slaves…so I don’t want to hurt them.
「………then take off that choker.」
「Eh? Wha-yes.」
Mira took off her choker.
It was identical to Risha’s with a jewel in it. If I rember correctly, she was quite happy when I gave it to her.
「For now you are not worthy to wear this, so I will confiscate it.」
Since it’s a punishnt, I feel it would be best to be a little stricter than I would be otherwise.
For the choker……once things cool down I’ll return it eventually.
I thought and once again turned around to begin disassembling the mansion when,
—Magic has been charged by 3,000—
「Huh?」
I froze when I received that completely unexpected magical charge.
Whenever my slaves are happy I receive a large charge to my DORECA.
I don’t use Seiya’s thod…so this 3,000 is without a doubt from 「happiness」.
I looked at Risha and Mira.
It couldn’t be…or so I thought.
I looked at Risha and said.
「Risha, you take off your choker too.」
「Eh?」
「It’s collective responsibility. You are also responsible for your kouhai’s blunder. As punishnt I will temporarily confiscate yours as well.」
「Alright……」
Risha took off her choker and handed it to .
—Magic has been charged by 6,000—
I got more than I had from Mira.
It seems like they also get happy from 「being punished for failures/blunders」.
I get that kind of feeling from their faces.
Eternal slaves…one’s who have natural servile tendencies.
Most likely sothing like that is 「good」 for them.
This is fine and 「good」 but if it goes too far and they begin failing on purpose it won’t be good. I’ll have to look out for that.
I thought this and placed the magic circle to disassemble the golden mansion.
The golden mansion was wrapped up in magic and slowly dissolved.
The townspeople saw that and gathered.
They all looked on joyfully as the symbol of Marato’s power was destroyed.
After a while the golden mansion was no more. It had beco a brand new plot of land.
The townspeople all knelt and bowed down before .
「Thank you very much Akito-sama!」
Soone said, and that started them all calling out 「Akito-sama」.
It gave a bit of a ‘Lord’ feeling.
And so, without my noticing it, the DORECA began to glow.
