CH 9

“Hey, are you still mad at me?”

“……”

Nina turned away with a twinge and wouldn’t talk to me.

Huh, I sighed.

In the end, I woke up in the morning just like that, with Nina pouring water over my head. I’m not complaining because I’m a slave, but I think there should be a better way to wake me up.

It’s true that taking off a girl’s clothes is usually a bad idea, but I’m a slave. I think it’s natural for a slave to take care of his master’s personal needs, don’t you?

When I asked her, she slapped me silently. It’s really an unreasonable.

So, well, because of my position as a slave, I’m working hard to get my master’s good mood, but this master keeps a pouting face and doesn’t even listen to me. At least, I want to talk about what I’m going to do from now on.

So we are currently having a late breakfast together at the inn where we are staying, in silence. It’s awkward.

“Hey, aren’t you the kids from yesterday?”

As I was eating in silence, the well-dressed proprietress appeared behind me.

Then, she bang on my shoulder. You should consider how hard you hit me. It hurts, you know?

“I was wondering what happened when this child came to visit me with an unconscious you in his arms, but I’m glad you’re doing well.”

And she laughed so high beside me with ahahahaha. My eardrums are about to pop.

“Is that so?”

Nina asked the proprietress timidly.

“Yes, he did. I was curious and watched him for a while afterwards, but he was taking good care of you.”

“Is it so ……?”

Now she asks me. She looks a little apologetic because my feeling.

“Hmm? Well, you’re my master. Of course.”

It was my fault that Nina fainted, and I’ll say it again, I think it’s natural for a slave to take care of his master’s personal needs. I’ve been a slave for two years, and it’s sad I can’t seem to get rid of my ingrained mindset.

“I see.”

As it is, Nina began to eat a little bit of bread in silence.

The proprietress looked at us with a smirk on her face, but then went back to the kitchen, saying, “Oops, I left the pot on the fire.

Once again there was silence between us, but surprisingly, it was Nina who broke it.

“I told you Nina was fine.”

She pouted as she stopped eating the bread.

“What?”

What are you talking about?

“Therefore, I would have asked you to call me Nina, not Master. Because although we are formally master and slave, I want to be equal with Ragnus.”

Nina’s eyes were serious.

I was surprised by the expression, but when I said that, I said my master earlier. I didn’t mean to do it, but it just came out of my mouth. Was it a rant?

“I’m sorry. I’ll be careful.”

When I replied that for now, she nodded in satisfaction and then went back to her apologetic expression.

“And I went a bit overboard this morning. Even though you were doing it for me. I’m sorry.”

“No, no, it’s me, because I thought that’s what slaves were supposed to do. I’ll try not to think that way anymore.”

“Yes, thank you. Ragnus.”

She had a big smile on her face as she said that.

To me, it looked like something divine for a moment.

Maybe that was one of the reasons why her long golden hair was shining in the light coming through the window.

“So, what’s the plan after all?”

I ask Nina, who was still chomping on a bit of bread when I finished my breakfast.

She put the bread on her plate and began to mull it over.

“I was so busy trying to escape that I honestly didn’t think anything of it. What do you think I should do Ragnus?”

She asks me, nodding her head.

You can’t ask me what to do.

“This is a neighboring town of Asulev’s royal capital, and it’s unlikely that Lisbet’s soldiers will follow this far. So, how about hiding here for a while?”

At my suggestion, Nina is deep in thought again.

“How about the funds?

“‘Don’t you have some, Nina? If it’s about the money – you told me, right?”

“It’s a lie, of course. I was going to let my guard down and escape when I saw an opening.”

“Yeah, I see. You’re surprisingly clever, aren’t you? Well then, here’s another suggestion from me. ……”

I advised Nina of one thing.

It’s a way to earn money while taking quests in the guild.

This is the best way to quickly raise your level and earn money. I also want to raise my SP as soon as possible.

And while I’m explaining that, I’ll also tell Nina about the skill I noticed last night. Nina listened for a while while rolling her eyes, but when she finished listening, she laughed and said,

“On the contrary, I might not be as good as you.”

No, even though it’s an exiled country, if you compare the royal family and me who lives that days, I’m definitely the one who’s inferior.

After that, I discussed it with Nina for a while, and we came to the conclusion that my idea would be the best.

“Well, let’s get to the guild and register Nina first.”

I was about to stand up, but Nina stopped me, saying, “Please wait.”

“I haven’t finished eating yet.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

If you look at it, the food on the plate is still only about half full.

I sat back in my chair and decided to watch Nina eat.

Chobi Chobi. Nomnom.

Chobi Chobi. Nomnom.

“It’s embarrassing when you stare at me like that.”

“No, I was just wondering if you could eat a little faster.”

“I’m sorry.”

She said so and started eating bread again in a hurry.

Still, the pace of eating didn’t change that much though. No, it’s fine.
