"So, what do you want as a reward for saving this village?"
Then, people's perception of the overlord should change significantly. But here in mind ...
"I'm going to sing a song from now on, so I want you to repeat it too."
I raised both hands.
"The overlord is a very good person!
"..."
"San yes !!"
"The overlord is a very good person!"
The villagers repeated me while being puzzled. If you think about it, you're not a person. Okay, here's another push!
"The overlord is the savior of this world! !"
"The overlord is the savior of this world!"
Yeah, I was a little too tuned. Beyond this, and it will become religious.
"... So I'll be leaving now."
"Please wait! Are you really not requesting anything !?"
The village chief stops me trying to leave.
"I will prepare it for you as soon as you wish, whether it is money or food!"
"No need. As I said, it 's enough if you spread my achievements."
"So, but we don't feel like that is enough… !!"
Even if you say so, what you want is almost in your hands with the [Creation] of possession spells. I'm sure it's creepy that the overlord doesn't ask for anything. Isn't it better to speak properly because anything is OK for the time being?
"!"
When I was in trouble, my eyes stopped at one girl. Estimated sixteen years old, chest is neither too big nor too small, hairstyle is ponytail. The clothes are messy, but the face is very cute. To be honest, it was my preference.
At that time, an idea came to my mind. No matter how much you create, you can't create life. I pointed to the girl.
"If you really want to give something out, let me have that woman."
What is it? Of course, I didn't say it seriously. If you forcibly take the girl home, you might be downgraded. The villagers will now think about it.
"Huh, it seems impossible. Then what I want is in this village."
"Please do!!"
"If you are such a woman, please meet me !!"
e?
"If you are satisfied with it, I will be happy!"
"No, that was a joke ..."
The villagers pushed their backs and the girl came in front of me.
"..."
The girl looks silently at my face. She is cute ... !!
"Now let's go."
As I said so. The villagers looked relieved. I didn't think this would happen ...
After that, I and the girl left the village while being sent off by the villagers.
"Hah ..."
A sigh comes out unexpectedly. I did it ...
If the rumor spreads that "the overlord has taken away the village girl", then the image improvement plan is not gone work. In the first place, there is no way to take a human girl back to my Castle where a lot of demons prevail. It's easy to imagine what would happen if Henri out, who hates humans.
"..."
The girl is always silently following me. This child is also this child, why didn't you resist it at all? The villagers might have rethought when they showed a little dislike.
I stopped when the villagers disappeared. After all this is not possible. It's against morality to accept a girl like a thing before the reputation of Hao. I turned around towards the girl.
"What is your name?"
"... Lina."
The girl answered with a mosquito-like voice.
"Lina, you van go back to that village."
"eh...?"
Lina looks at me with her round eyes .
"It was just a joke that I wanted to take you away, but the villagers seemed to be serious. So you can go home."
"..."
"Don't worry about the reward. There 's really nothing I want. Don't worry about that village."
"..."
The girl stayed silent. It's strange, I was expecting a "Thank you!" Are you relay oke with being taken away by the overlord?
"What happened? Do not you want to go back to the village?"
"...Home"
That was an unexpected answer.
"Do you have family in the village? Parents? Brothers?"
"... No. I was a slave in that village."
I was so shocked that I lost my language for a moment.
"Slave ..."
"... I was sold by my parents when I was four years old and came to that village. And I spent more than a decade as a slave there."
From such a child to ...!?
"... I think slaves have come across a lot of terrible eyes."
"Because it was a family with only women, I did not receive sexual violence ..."
Lina exposes her shoulders a little. There was a raw scar that left the face unintentionally. If you look closely, there were other wounds on the child's body.
But now I know why the villagers gave Lina away so easily. Because they knew that Lina was a slave, they probably had no ugliness to offer. Whether it is a slave or not, a girl is still a girl.
After hearing this story, I can't say "Go back to that village" anymore.
"But I'm are the overlord who controls all the demons. Don't you think that you might have a much worse experience than when you were in your previous family?"
"... Maybe, I 'm a slave. I don't have a choice."
Lina said with a tone like a machine.
"For me, my master is just changing. I am ready to be kept by a male master. If you like my body, please like it."
I realized. This child's heart is breaking. I can't imagine what kind of harsh environment she must have grownup in.
"... I'm sorry Lina.
I point my right towards the village. I this feeling of anger in me. It is not only the family that kept this child as a slave. The villagers who gave this child to me are the same.
"Spell [Earthquake !!]"
Soon the ground began to shake.
"Wow, ah ah !!"
"Ji, it 's an earthquake!"
A scream rang from the village, and the sound of several houses collapsing is heard. Is the magnitude 6 to 7? However, it will be only a slight scratch compared to the suffering this child has suffered so far.
