Chapter 25:　Claire’s Feeling

My name is Claire. I’m a beastman from the cat tribe who turns 15 this year, also I’m Master’s slave.

I met Master for the first time in the carriage carrying the slaves. There were three reactions of the people who looked at slave so far. One where it’s like they’re looking at something dirty, one whose eyes tainted with desire, and one who acts like the slave is not even there.

However, Master’s reaction is different from those. After being surprised, he quietly observes me, while glancing at my ears and tail with excited looks.

At that time I do think it’s slightly unpleasant. However after he talks to me during camp guard, I no longer felt like that.

As there are a lot of people in similar situation like me, when I heard about the life story of a common slaves, I was a bit sad. That night, although we received the goblin’s surprise attack, Master knocks them down one after another alone, annihilating the goblins before they could even do anything to me.

From that time Master is already extremely strong. There’s rarely anyone who could master the way of the sword and magic at the same time.

When Master takes the slaves that survived to the Koper town, he said he will free us as well as give us some money. I couldn’t believe it at first. Other people would usually monopolize the property of the slave dealer alter selling us.

The other slave who that survived with me, Golum-san of the lizard tribe greatly expressed his grat.i.tude after Master give him freedom. Although Master said he would free me too, I don’t want to leave Master’s side.

There’s also the favor that he saved my life. Not to mention it’s hard to face my family who sold me. I also don’t have any confidence to live alone. Anyways there are many reasons for that. However, the most important reason is that I wanted to further devote myself to this gentle person.

Once again I contracted as Master slave, and I also registered as adventurers with Master. Master bought one of the most expensive equipment for me. I worry myself as his slave as I’ve never heard of anything like this.

That night, when I was trying to do the only thing I can do to Master who’s a man as a way to repay his kindness, he just pat my head gently while saying such a thing is unnecessary. Looking at the trembling me, he might have known that I was scared. I was really touched, as I swore in my heart to follow this person forever.
