Chapter 29 (2/2)

“…..All right, I have decided. Let’s depend on the house of Solo to the end. I’m not sure how much we can get from them but let’s just do it to the degree whereby Jephthah does not make a sarcastic remark about this.”  [Jirou]

“Goshujin-sama is indeed reliable. Among the High Elves, my guidance was considered to be something that hasn’t happened in a really long time so we ended up handing over a treasure that is beyond humans’ power. So, they will basically heed any of your wishes. At the very least, the item was that valuable to us.”  [Diana]

A treasure that is beyond humans’ power…… Would it be alright to hand over something like that to a merchant? I don’t think there are be any treasures in existence on earth that might worth 10 billion, are there?

“Specifically, what did the High Elves give the house of Solo? What I meant was that treasure. Rather than ‘cooperating’ with them, did you hand over an item instead?”  [Jirou]

On hearing that, there was a slight hesitation in her eyes for but, that was only for an instant. She seemed to have made up her mind after.

“……Will you promise to protect this secret?” [Diana]

“Ou, I will protect it, I will protect it.”  [Jirou]

“….That was quite a light a.s.surance…. Will Marina promise to never disclose this to others too? If you can’t, please cover your ears.”  [Diana]

Marina covered her ears and closed her eyes at the same time. She didn’t seem to be particularly interested in this story.

“………Once I have achieved my guidance, we are supposed to hand over one of the High Elf race’s treasure, 『The Birth of the Morning Star (The Alchemy)』.”  [Diana]

“The Birth of the Morning Star?”  [Jirou]

“It was a treasure from the era of Spirit civilization but….. In short, 『It can change base metals to precious metals. In a word, it’s a gem that can turn it into gold』. The existence of this item is concealed for the time being so I hope that goshujin-sama can help keep this a secret.”  [Diana]

“The possibility of changing something to gold….. Can it create an infinite number of gold? However, for a house that was already rich like the house of Solo, I don’t think that an item like this is that profitable to them.”  [Jirou]

“Goshujin-sama is sharp. Just as you have guessed, changing base material to gold is not the only aspect of this treasure. To be more precise, the Birth of the Morning Star is basically, 『A gem that is able to create various items as long as the conditions for those items are met』. —For example, the conditions for creating gold are these three, 『the original source of metal, magic crystal and spirit power』. However, even with these three conditions met, it is really rare to be able to make one now. There were an abundant of magic crystals during the era of Spirit civilization but they are really valuable now.”  [Diana]

Something that is able to create various items. That was a fairly simple explanation. However, changing base metal to precious metal is alchemy isn’t it? Isn’t that the case?

“Even though I understand that the requirements for the creations are generally 『source material』, 『energy crystal』 and 『technique user』……….I apologize. Back in our hometown, we did use it to make food occasionally but I did not properly examine the methods in using it much……Although, father seems to know of many different recipes…..”  [Diana]

“I see–. But I wonder why did the house of Solo desires it. There must be a reason behind their attachment to this item.”  [Jirou]

“After taking a look at the list taken out by father, they selected the Birth of the Morning Star instantly, so I think they should have a reason to this……”  [Diana]

The Birth of the Morning Star. It sounds like an interesting treasure. Honestly, it seems wasteful to give this to the house of Solo. There wasn’t any fixed date as to when they should hand over the item so long as Diana hasn’t achieved her guidance but……I can’t do that.

Ah, but I wonder if I could play with it a little before giving it to them. I would like to pay a visit once to the High Elf’s hometown too. Ufufu, a place only full of elves. If it ended up becoming a super hustle, it wouldn’t be sufficient regardless of how many bodies I have……..

(Rinkage: Envisioning in getting snu snu by a group of elves)

Well, anyway I got a back-up plan for now and it seemed permissible even if I were to spend my money freely here. I don’t think I will be troubled about my life in this other world for the time being. It’s all thanks to Diana-sama.

I want to run my business using my own my money but, I need to take care of the livelihood here too. I will be using whatever that I can use.

“Then I will end the conversation here. Marina, it’s fine now.”  [Jirou]

I called out to Marina who was covering her ears with her eyes shut. Well, I guess it’s natural that she didn’t hear me. I tapped her shoulder.

“MA  RI  NA! It’s fine now!”  [Jirou]

“Wahiyaa!! I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I am not fully prepared yet! Marina will not be able to do well for the first time….I will definitely do it poorly…..”  [Marina]

What on earth is this person saying all of the sudden! First, we should set the mood by drinking tea as we relaxed, then gradually suggest to them that we should be going to bed soon. After that, I will put out the lights. It’s a step by step process…….That was supposed to be my initial plan! You’re being too straight, Marina!

But, so it’s her first time, huh…..That was truly a delightful news to me….

Your master is overcome with emotions. I’ll forgive you!

“………………………………………”

Then, the room was somehow enveloped in silence.

A-Awkward……

d.a.m.n….how did it end up this way…… Someone please do something…..is what I wanted to say but, a guy should be the one to take the lead in a situation like this……

As I was thinking so, Marina spoke up.

“Ma-Marina will be going there first. P-Please pardon me and p-please be gentle to me.”  [Marina]

Saying so, Marina fled to the bed. The only ones left were Diana and I. Well, what to do now…..

“Goshujin-sama, what should we do now? I-I…..am mentally prepared for it already.”  [Diana]

“U-Un…..Then let’s go there too……”  [Jirou]

The light was put out and we headed to the bed in the room.

…………I felt as if my heart was about to leap out of my chest……. I was feeling too nervous that I felt slightly sick now……..

Upon entering the room, Marina could be seen shutting her eyes tightly as she lay down on the bed with both of her hands grasped together firmly. Her shoulders were trembling, possibly because she was feeling afraid or she wasn’t able to sort out her feelings yet.

……….

…..Un….Somehow….

I guess she must have not wanted to do it……

It doesn’t matter even if she is a slave! I would be a pure demon if I were to force her into it just because she is a slave…….

Well, it is true that I am at the age in which I really wanted to do it too but, I have already kept my virginity for 21 years anyway, so it’s not really necessary to be impatient now. I guess we should wait for a little while longer…..till it develops to something important. Like love.

It was just the third day since I first met them…..so we are still like strangers to each other……..

“Marina. You don’t need to be that tense. I will not do anything.” [Jirou]

On hearing what I said, Marina slowly opened her eyelids. I could see confusion swirling in her eyes.

“I…..have fully prepared myself, my liege. So it’s all right. I can do it properly.”  [Marina]

“………I just recalled it but, as I thought this thing isn’t just about being mentally prepared. Someday….until Marina feels that you are not only prepared for this but you are also willing to permit it. I will be waiting until then.”  [Jirou]

“My liege……”  [Marina]

“Diana too……You should keep and cherish it until that day comes.”  [Jirou]

I have decided….!

I am definitely not a hetare! I’m not a hetare!

This is sincerity!

Marina blinked her eyes in surprise. Since she’s a slave, she might think that it’s weird for someone to be thoughtful of her. Well……..the problem actually lies with my preference.

It’s such a waste when the meal is already set before my eyes! I want to love, to be loved and to be connected! Something like that.

Diana seemed to be convinced by it too. When I turned around, I found her smiling mysteriously.

“Goshujin-sama…..My feelings are not 『ready』 yet. It is necessary to prepare my heart but, I don’t think I need to be 『ready』 for it. So, we can sleep together after Marina returned to the room, if you want. T-This is destiny.”  [Diana]

Unexpected. Diana seemed determined.

In the dim light, Diana’s silhouette seemed to emerge mysteriously in symmetrical. The rays from the moonlight s.h.i.+ning in through the window, cast its luminescent white glow over her long platinum blonde hair that was extended to the waist. The tattoo didn’t really bother me much as she looked very attractive. In truth, I was on the verge of being overflowed with uncontrollable desire now but……why is she being so aggressive?

“But….just one thing. I want you to make a promise. Once we ended up in that relations.h.i.+p…..I would like goshujin-sama to swear your 『everlasting love』 to me. All right?”  [Diana]

“…….O-O-Ouch, ouch ouch! I’m feeling too tense that my stomach hurts now! I’ll be going to the toilet. It will likely take a long time! You guys should go to sleep first. Ouch ouch.”  [Jirou]

I escaped………..
