129 Episode 129 "The Same But Different Two Requests".txt (1/2)

Please let me use my life to protect you and your family. Please let me use my life to protect you and your family. My dearest, Arujide-sama ......

Rejected.

I rejected Fynn's line outright.

'I'm sorry, but our party doesn't allow 'almost dead fighting' and 'self-sacrifice'.

What about ......?

'We're not supposed to fight in our party in a way that causes me (the party leader) stress. So, that kind of thing is forbidden. Nice.

Fynn's mouth is open, gaping.

But this is non-negotiable. My party has rules: no deaths, no serious injuries, no hiding anything that's sick. No deaths, no serious injuries, no hiding bad things, and no punishments for broken things. My party is not very strict, but we do have some rules.

Even though we just started, we have to make sure that Feen follows them as well.

So, I guess we have two options: ......

One, we're going to run away.

I'll run in the opposite direction of the house and sow him. Then, I'll meet up with Iris and the others and use Rafilia's ”Evisceration Warding” skill to put up a barrier, damage the black knight from the inside and cut him down.

The other one is - to 'rebuild' Fynn's 'Divine Instrumentality Aptitude'.

This would require a slave contract, so it's not just Fynn, but Cutlass-san would have to agree to it. It's unlikely. You're a former Miata Knight and princess. I know the idea of being a slave doesn't sit well with me.

I suppose in the end, it's better to run away and aim for the long haul...

In that case, I beg you, Aruji. Please make me your slave.

Suddenly, Fynn looked up at me and said.

With serious eyes, with one hand, while messily hiding his chest.

'And then we can defeat the Black Knight, right?　Isn't it?

Did you read it?　...... Did you see the expression on his face?　No, no.

Fynn is horribly perceptive. She's been supporting her all along so that no one would notice her presence, and so that Cutlass-san herself wouldn't notice that she was a 'girl'. Reading what's going on around you and Cutlass-san's own reactions - that would require a great deal of observation skills.

With your observation skills, did you realize that Cecil and Rita's skills involved a master-slave contract?

'...... How did you ever think of wanting to be a slave? Fynn.

Yes. Cecil and Rita have the power to fight that black knight on an equal footing. That power is no ordinary thing. And they both love Arujidono with all their hearts.

Like a knight answering his master's questions.

Kneeling in front of me, Fynn says

And it is not a man who wants to dominate others unnecessarily. So it's only natural that the two of you would think that your power and the master-slave contract are involved?

...... is awesome, Fynn.

We both have secrets, and we've promised not to tell each other, so we've let our guard down.

But it's amazing that you even read the 'master-slave agreement' into Cecil and Rita's power.

'So you're saying that Fynn wants to be my slave temporarily to get out of this?

Oh, I'm sorry. 'Oh, I'm sorry, I'm going to tell you that Cutlass doesn't like the idea of lying to you. The truth is, I just want to be somebody's body and soul. That's all.

...... Huh?

I and Cutlass saw more than just a knight in a man.

Fynn put his hands together and murmured a prayer.

'Arujidono has saved me and Fynn, my body and my mind. ”Arujid has saved me and Fynn, my body and my mind. He gave me a place and a name when I was nothing and showed me the way to Cutlass.

This is the kind of light that makes me and Cutlass worthy of my body and loyalty. Abandoned by our father, forced by our mother to take a path, we have chosen only one for ourselves.

And then she looked at me with a gentle smile on her face.

The color of his eyes was different than usual.

''You said, 'I will not allow you to die.'

Then let me fulfill that allegiance with the Contract.

Let me have the power to get through this situation.

The right eye of ”her” is reddish-purple. The color of Fynn's eyes.

So is mine!　It's not that I'm confused!　'I know,'

His left eye is blue. The color of Mr. Cutlass.

It's as if they were both present at the same time.

Voices came from the left and the right.

You're going to be able to get the name Feen, the name you got from Aruzhidono, and even Cutlass, which is kind of a pseudonym, can be found at ......

I want to be a part of it, sir, and I want to offer my allegiance as a former good-natured knight.

'Sure, as a girl if you want.' ”...... fi, fiin!　It is still too early to do that!

To whom I have given my all to be with, so!　Now is not the time!

Please put a collar on this poor princess, for that is a very naughty thing to say.

Calm down. You can't make a fool of yourself now! Yes!

Fynn and Ms. Cutlass aren't your average double.

Fynn said, as I recall, that Ms. Cutlass was cursed by her mother with magic.

So how is this possible?

Arujidono... Oh, Arujidono... ......

Fynn and Cutlass - 'she' slowly, slowly, closed her eyes and

”'I want to be your slave. Make me officially a servant of Arujido: ......

Okay.

Let me tell you this much, this is not the time to be hesitant.

I'm going to rebuild ”her” skills to get through this place.

If I do that, maybe not only will I be able to defeat that black knight, but I might even be able to get it as an artifact.

However, since it's a 'contract', I'll set a deadline.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'm not going to be the only one. When their personalities merge and become one, and when they are stable, the contract is terminated. How about this?

It's the least I could do.

Either way, we can't just throw them both out now. Mr. Cutlass just found out about Fynn's existence and is still unsteady. It's partly a matter of birth. So instead of me taking care of him, I'll have him work for me as a slave.

As soon as our personalities are united and stable, we can choose our path again.

That's something we can do, isn't it?

I'm all right with that. Fynn, Cutlass.

No problem.

Her body nodded twice.

I looked at Cecil and Rita. I told them both the plan for the rest of the day.

They said, ”Yes,” and then turned to the wall again. When I looked at them from behind, I saw that their ears and necks were red. 'Reconstruction' is an embarrassment to be done and to see, isn't it?

But it can't be helped. There's not much room in the carriage, you know.
