The King's Mandate: Anomalous System Chapter 392: Half-Slave

"Well," Elena smiled and said, "I will believe you whatever you say."

Das stared blankly at Elena as she smiled.

'Don't say sothing like that. It would just make it hard for to lie.'

'You are an innocent girl who has no idea how nasty this world is.'

'If you step into the adult world, you will easily get corrupted. It is dangerous for you.'

'Soone like you should be treasured properly, far from this cruel world.'

'Why is it that I don't want her to know how psychotic I am?'

'She has no idea I am a killer who kills for fun. Who loves the color of blood.'

'I had never thought of killing soone who is not harmful to . But for her, for Elena, I would kill anyone who dares to harm her.'

'Why is that I am so attracted to her?'

'What's so special about her?'

'If I recall my first eting, she looked so plain and boring. She was nowhere near Lier, but why is my impression changed now?'

'She is the sa girl. The sa plain face, ssing hair, and the sa annoying wide smile.'

'What has changed? Have I changed? Or has she changed? Or maybe both of us have changed?'

'I threw aside all the humanly emotions. I didn't want them. They were just for weak, but what about now?'

'Do I still think the sa?'

'I don't know.'

'Do I want her to know who I truly am?'

'I don't know.'

"How would she react if she knows the true ? How would she react if I took off a fake mask I am wearing?'

'Would she still give the sa smile?'

'Would she still greet in her annoying way?'

'Would she still tease ?'

'Would she still make fun of ?

'Would she talk to ?'

'Would she even look at ?'

'I think I know the answer.'

'No one would like to hang out with soone like .'

'It's the sa as my middle school. Though I wasn't at fault at that ti.'

'But isn't it the sa?'

'If you can't climb up, then bring the topper down-- That was their ntality.'

'Isn't that how everyone thinks?'

'Isn't that how the world works?'

'Am I wrong here?'

'If there is soone better than , what would I do?'

'Would I try to bring them down?'

'I probably will. I will test them and see if they are worthy of being on the top or not.'

'If they are, I will let them be. And if they aren't, I will crush them down.'

'What about Elena?'

'How is she?'

'What do I even know about her?'

'Nothing. I know nothing about her'

'I want to know more about her, but why?'

'I don't know.'

'Do I need a reason?'

'I don't know.'

'Do I need the answer?'

'No need for that.'

'Alright, I have decided what I am going to do with her.'

'I can't do anything.'

'If Elena decides to do sothing, if she makes so choice in the near future, I won't stop her.'

'It's her life, and I have no right to interfere in her life.'

Elena flicked her finger at Das' forehead and said, "Don't ignore ."

"It's rude to hit people, you know?"

"You are the one who started this physical relationship."

"..."

'Does she even realize what she is saying? Probably no. An idiot like her would never think before speaking.'

"Your answer is correct."

Elena smiled as she stood up and said, "Really?!"

"Yeah"

"So you are my slave now?!"

'Here it cos.'

Das took a deep breath and said, "No."

"Why?!"

Das grabbed her notepad and showed the last step to Elena.

"You see the answer?" questioned Das.

"I do."

"Answers should always be underlined."

Das was saying it like it was sothing obvious.

Elena made a disgusted face and said, "You are so la."

Das face twitched and said, "You lose scores for these la points."

Elena puffed her cheeks and said, "I don't get it. Why is underlining the answer is mandatory?"

"Ask that to higher-ups."

"I bet they are just lazy and only check the answers."

'She is right. That's the case in most cases. But...'

"The steps are important too."

She folded her arms under her breasts and said, "No one cheks the steps."

"That's not true. If it were checking the answer sheets, I would give scores for steps even if the main answer is wrong."

Elena smirked and said, "That ans you will give points for correct steps and correct answers, right?"

'Dammit!'

"DOn't tell you were planning to make say it by all these"

Elena's smirk got wider.

"Unbelievable"

'I can't believe it. She knew exactly what I would say. She planned everything. She has cobacks for everything I do.'

"I had these doubts, but you are not actually an idiot, right?"

"I was never an idiot."

"What a blatant lie."

"Enough. You said you would give points for correct steps and answers. Now beco my slave."

"..."

'I can't tell if she is serious or kidding.'

"What if the answer was wrong? Would you have beco my slave?" Das asked.

"WIth no hesitation."

"..."

'I can tell she is being serious his ti.'

'I don't get it. What's so unique about her?'

'Everything she says, everything she does, makes smile.'

"Okay, my slave. I order you to--"

"Hold it right there! I didn't agree on your being your slave."

"But you promised"

"But your answer wasn't actually correct."

"But you said you would give points for steps and correct answer."

"That was just a hypothetical statent."

Elena squinted her eyes and said, "You are la and boring."

"You!"

'How dare she call la. I may be boring, but la? Never'

Das took a deep breath and said, "Your answer was correct but invalid. Topic closed"

"Then" Elena's face flushed a little as he started fidgeting.

"..."

She averted her face to the side and said, "How about half-slave since the answer was half correct?"

'What the hell do half-slave ans?'

"Uhh what do you an by half-slave."

"I don't know."

"You don't know?!"
