Next chapter......…..
["Umm... Excuse me, but, may I ask who you are?" ] ELDER SISITER
["Ah, yes, my name is ….] ME
[Yes, ofcourse. We know your name. But we want o know the place from where our benefactor is from?] ELDER SISTER
Benefactor!!!!!.....they think of me as their benefactor? Well that's to be expected after what happened to them but hten again I don't think that I can handle this all BENEFACTOR thing…..
[I have come from far away place. It's a country known as BHARAT{INDIA}] ME
[hmmm...BHARAT....BHARAT??...BHARAT!!??] ELDER SISTER
What is this?. She is acting like she has heard my country's name before somewhere. But that's not possible.
That's not possible, right?
That's...….. not.... possi...ble…..unless...….. some one before me has come to this world and has made a name for himself and my country.
[Ummm…] YOUNGER SISTER
While I was busy thinking about my conclusions and the older one was busy mumbering, the other girl who was quiet for some time now started speaking.
[My nameis EMILY and this is my older sister ERINA. I thankyou from bottom of my heart.] EMILY
EMILY!!!!......that's the name of the younger sister. I thought she would be more terrified by which they have gone through. However it turns out that's not the case.
She was pretty calm. In my previous world, a person who is chased by a group of 10-15 dogs is pretty terrified. Even after there is no more chasing, the person's feet are shaking unable to stop.
However...…this girl...….
{this is an intresting world!!!}
["yes, Sir KISHNA. Please let me thank you once again. This time, we're truly have been saved, thank you very much." ] ERINA
This is ERINA.....this older sister is ....what to say, either she is conclusative or an airhead. Well I have no means to confirm in the short time.
As she said that, the two of them lowered their head.
aHHHH...…again…..this lowering the head. People here really do lower their head easily. It's not wrong to express how grateful a person is.....BUT....lowering their head!!!...i don't know.
[" Anyways, what are you guys going to do after this if you are planning to go to the next village......…"] ME
*STOMACH GROWLING...*
Oohh!.... someone's hungry.
[here…..eat this. This is not much but it can work for time being.] ME
I took out some food which SOMA has packed for me when I was leaving their village. I offered it to the sisters.
[no no....we can't possible accept this much from you. First you rescued us from the monsters despite not knowing who we were and where we were from. And now you are offering us your food. This is too much.] ERINA
Hmm.....this is a surprise. I thought that elder sister was an airhead but it turns out that she is pretty reasonable.
[Listen, you should never turn down the food. When it comes to food, one should never compromise. when food is offered to you, you should always grab the opportunity. That's the motto I go by. So.....eat up.] ME
[................................] SISTERS
They are staring at me. They are staring at me!!!. I must look like an idiot.
[If you refuse this food one more time then, .....I won't hesitate to take it back. Because when it comes to food, I always grab the opportunity. You remember my motto, right? So…..what you are waiting for. Dig in!!!] ME
As soon as I told them to dig in, they started eating their food.
*EMBARRASED*
(Is this how one offers food? ONE SHOULD NEVER COMPROMISE WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD!!!.....idiot…idiot…..IDIOT KISHNA. This is the most pathetic I have ever been. I can just die now.)
*MUNCH…MUNCH…..(SOUND OF EATING HASTILY)*
I was distracted from my thoughts by that sound they were making while eating. Once again looking at their condition, it's not hard to predict that they had pretty rough till now. They are all covered in dirt and their clothes are tattered.
I wonder, under which circumstances they were forced to live like this. From the way of speaking, they seem to be from good family. They also know magic that means they have trained in the arts of magic. That implies they had money to afford on learning magic arts.
Who are these girls and what their circumstances are. Well, it's not like it's any of my business. I might not meet them in the future. Moreover, I should not pry in their personal matters.
[ahhhmm….if you are going to another town then you can tag along with me.] ME
[..............] SISTERS
[i…..I mean...if you want ofcouse.] ME
["No... we're very sorry. It's not like we don't want to but the thing is, We cannot move from this place without master orders." ] EMILY
This is unexpected.
This must be a joke....right?
However, Looking at the two of them, it does not seems to be a joke.
Their eyes are dead serious.
["... Are you, serious?"] ME
["Yes!"] SISTERS
Both the sisters agreed at the same time.
[So, where is this master of yours? I will take you both to him.] ME
I tried to ask them about their master. If he is dead then I can simply ask them to come along with me till we reach next town. If by any chance he is still alive then I have to take them to the place where he is and explain him the situation. By their appearance their master does not seem to be a very kind person.
["At the time when these orges attacked, the master ran away with the escort guard."
Master made a deal with their leader. In exchange of his life, he sold us to these orges.
These orges were planning to kill us and eat us when you showed up.] ERINA
[If you would have arrived slightly later when you did. Then it would have been end for us.] EMILY
Towards sisters world, I am not that much surprised. No matter the world, higher-ups always value their lives above others .
But the thing which is troubling me is the fact that he sold them!!!
[sold you guys??.....as in he made a deal with other person's life in exchange for his life. Are we talking about owning people's life here?] ME
[.....................................................!!!!] SISTERS
They both are looking at me with amazed face.
[you don't know? Are you from a country where slavery is not common?] EMILY
[No, I am from a country where there is no concept of slavery. Every person has his/her own right. No one has the right to make the deal with other persons life.] ME
If it was my previous world then, offender would have sued him in the court, prosecution would have chewed him in the court room and judge would have given him the punishment befitting his crime.
[then, why have you come here, in this country. From what you have told us, it seems your country is pretty nice. So???] ERINA
That's the answere I also want to know.
[Sister...…!!!] EMILY
[oh…..i am sorry. I shouldn't have asked this.] ERINA.
EMILY scolded ERINA for being so upfront.
["Let me ask you once again? Your master ran away and left you behind?"] ME
["Yes." ] SISTERS
["despite that you're still going to stay here?"] ME
["Yes. If there's no order from the master, we cannot move." ] ERINA
(Oi oi... seriously?)
To be honest, this has become quite a troublesome development.
I actually want to bring them to the next town before saying goodbye.
Since there's still the matter regarding the orges and thieves in this area. I quickly want to get out of these troublesome woods.
However, it is impossible, since they both say, they won't move.
[what is it that restrict your movement? I mean you certainly don't want to wait for him as a virtue of your loyalty. Then??] ME
[It's the enslavement magic. It is casted by the slave dealer on the slaves when a certain persons buys a slave. After that it becomes impossible to hurt our master. Whenever we try to do it, an intense pain is experienced. This is also same for when we defy our masters oders.] ERINA.
[So, is there any possible way out of this mess? I mean, is there any way to break this magic?] ME
[Only slave dealer can break this magic. This magic can also be undone when master dies.] ERINA
(Well, I guess, I have no choice huh?. I can only leave some food and a night camping preparation for them...)
Of course I feels bad to leave the two girls in the forest like this; however, I also don't have luxury of time either.
(Well, I will help them as far as I can.)
I was busy thinking various things, when ERINA spoke.
["SIR KISHNA!" ] ERINA
Hmm...is she worried. Well, there's no reason she shouldn't be. After all she is saying that they are going to stay in this forest till their master gives them permission to move. And by the time they are awaiting their master's return, there is always danger to be attacked by another horde of those monsters .
["It's fine. I will definitely do something! Don't worry."] ME
I tried to console them but the truth is how much can I do? I can not stay here with them until their master returns. For all we know, he might think that these girls are dead and never returns. If that's the case then we might be stuck here forever.
However
ERINA shakes her head when I tried to assure her.
["No. I have a request!" ] ERINA
Huuuuu...…o god, she might ask me to stay with them until their master returns. If that's the case then I won't be able to deny their request.
["A request?" ] ME
["Yes. Please forgive me but, , can you cut your ring finger?"] ERINA
What the...….my ring finger….cut it??.....what is she asking me to do?
["What?" ] ME
I looked at her with serious expression. It was not only me but EMILY was also looking at her with serious expression.
However,
Her expression was serious.
[Please, can you do it?] ERINA
What a pressure.
["Is this alright?"] ME
Once I cut my finger a little, I showed it to ERINA.
"Yes!"
She borrowed my sword, cuts her left ring finger a little bit and then kneeled in front of me.
"O the great spirit of contract wind. Please Listen to my plea!!!."
(Is she... praying? What is she doing kneeling before me?)"
"My body, my soul, my heart, and my everything."
The words keep continuing. No ones answering my question.
"Everything I dedicated to my master!"
"Sir KISHNA. Please give me your left hand. "
I then offered my left hand as I was told.
"We pledge by the blood contract oath. "
With her prayer being ended, our two fingers overlap and the blood mixed.
At that moment a bright light appears from the collar on her neck.
Suddenly her collar crumbles without any sound, and the handcuff also detached.
["Alright, it seems it was a success. Finally I am free!"] ERINA
ERINA then started streaching..
It feels like a steel muscle is inside the well rounded feminine body.
["Master. Can I use my power?."] ERINA
What master?. Who is the master?
[by any chance, are you calling me your master?] ME
[YES. Just now I have formed blood contract oath with you. It is the highest level contact spell.it can easily nullify slave dealer's B rank enslavement magic.] ERINA
[WHY me?. I don't want any slaves. And you don't even know me. For all you know, I might be someone similar to your previous master.] ME
I tried to ask her reasoning for doing so…
[That may be right!!!
However, the fact that you saved us without even knowing our name does not change. So we will serve you .] ERINA
[Are you sure, you want to do this?] ME
[Yes, also please grant my one more request. Please form a contract with my little sister too.] ERINA
[Well, if you want this then I certainly have no reason to deny. I will also get companions for my journey. More the merrier, I say.] ME
After that I formed the contract with EMILY too...
*Something something............*
They are talking about something over there.
[Master, please lets collect all these bodies and their weapons. Orges bodies can be sold in the guild. And these weapons can be sold at high price in the weapons shop. This is quite profitable for you, master ] EMILY.
EMILY suggested to collect these bodies and weapons. According to her these can be sold and turned into money. Well, I am still in need of these money. So...…
[But how are we supposed to carry these many bodies and weapons? These are too much for the two people to carry.] ERINA
[Two people?] ME
[Yes, me and my sister. We are sorry master. It's such a good opportunity to make a good amount of money but we are useless.] ERINA
What are they saying?
[What are you guys saying? It's your suggestion to trade all these with money. Conceptually it's all yours.] ME
I tried to tell them that it's not their fault.
[And as for these….don't worry. I have storage magic in which I can store anything and it's storing capacity is also unlimited. It's as good as time any to use it.] ME
[to have such an amazing quality. I sure am glad that you are our master.] EMILY
Ufff....to say such a thing..now you are making me blush!!!
[C'mon..help me collect these things.] ME
[YES…] SISTERS
Both the sisters agreed strongly and started collecting materials once I asked them to help me with collecting.
