100 Episode 100 "Extra Edition 10" Cecil, Leggie, and Restraint "".txt (2/2)

Because, as of now, it's not quite the work environment we're looking for.

'A life where you don't have to work to live'?　I don't blame you for that.

Yes, but the working conditions aren't great. But the working conditions aren't as good as they could be at the moment.

Nagi-sama sighed and then sighed.

'At best, we only provide housing, food, lend equipment, and limit the amount of time you're tied up to quests. If you tell me where you're going, I'll allow you to move around freely, but that's just the norm.

I choose quests that can be done in the shortest amount of time possible. The longest is between 10am and 4pm. The length is no more than 6 hours. We take a lot of breaks if it's going to be too long, and if we have an extra quest to do, we'll take a break before or after, but I'm not sure that's enough.

It's not really a big deal to reward quests by putting the cost of living in a common wallet that we've all discussed and decided on, and then split the rest.

The other merit is that we've even made it possible to take vacations unconditionally if you apply for them - as far as the treatment of slaves is concerned, I'm sure they're not happy.

...... Did you come to destroy the concept of 'slavery' in this world, Nagi-sama?

Really, God.

What kind of slave would complain about that?

Really?

'Normally we don't have masters who sit around the table with their slaves, and we don't have masters who do our laundry with us!　Some slaves aren't allowed to stand at the end of the corridor when their masters go by, or to sit when they are in the same room!

Oh, my God. ”Eat alone. ”Relax where everyone else is standing. It's just so desperately lonely. Is that a punishment for your master?

'Because Nagi would say strange things.

I look into Nagi's eyes and reply.

I look into her eyes and say, ”Wow, I am very happy with my job, I am just happy to be able to live like this with you guys at . I'm just happy to be able to live like this with Nagi and all of you at .......

So have I. I was summoned as a demon sword, and I've never been able to hold hands like this before.

Leggy seems to feel the same way.

We hold hands and look at our beloved master's face.

Hmmm. But when I think about the future of this job and the stability. I'd like some more benefits: ......

But Nagi isn't convinced...

I found myself squeezing Nagi's arm.

Through the robe of an apprentice wizard, I can feel her body heat. My body is warm and fuzzy, and I wonder if Nagi-sama has noticed me.

Using the ability rebuild, Nagi-sama knows everything about me. Her body temperature, her breathing, her heartbeat - she knows where I want her to touch me.

”Really, is that so 'fun-loving'? Don't get hung up on the

So I put all my strength into my arms to hold her.

I hope that she will thrill me, even if it's only half of me, even if it's only 1/100th of me.

Because if she's reckless with that, it won't do her any good.

I know.

If Nagi-sama dies, I will die too. I have no intention of living in a world without Nagi-sama!

I'm not gonna survive this.

Is that so, Leggy?

”And tell them one thing and one thing only!　He had slaves naked in the daytime, going to the limit of the alcoholic beverage pits!　Well, when the Lord tries to do something rash, make it a reality. Then you will remember my threats!　Do it, Cecil!

Oh, Reggie, you called me 'Cecil'.

He looks at me and smiles at me.

As a slave who rescues the master who is reckless in the first place, it seems that he has developed a sense of camaraderie.

You know what? If I try to be reckless, I will become naked at Nagi's side and say, 'Shuutekurin? I'll make you do it!　It's going to leave a bad taste in your mouth!　Nah, someone from the same world as Nagi-sama might hear about it and it might become a rumor!

I knew it.

Nagi-sama pats me and Leggy's head.

As soon as he does, my heart softens, and the scary and angry feelings go away. Master, it's not fair.

I'm not going to do anything recklessly. I won't do what I can't do. No pressure. That's our party motto.

Yes! Bye!

Leggy and I answer in unison.

Then we hold hands again and go to the clothing store.

Hmm. Considering the budget and the shape of the little brown girl, I think ...... is a good candidate.

In fact, Leggy-san knows a lot about clothes and ornaments.

He's been in the king's treasury and the king's room as the king's treasure sword for a long time, so he has a lot of opportunities to look at the clothes of princesses and queens. So it's easy for him to tell if a piece of clothing is good or bad.

Leggy stared at the shopkeeper who, according to Nagi, had ”attacked” him, and he chose three outfits.

One was a short dress.

The other was a short shirt on top with a short trouser-like bottom.

The last one was a maid's outfit for children.

'Well, which one is the Lord's favorite?

Leggy looked at Nagi and me with a smirk.

This is the most common and cute type of dress. It has short sleeves, so you can't see your sides as much as you'd like. The ones with shorts underneath are fun to take off separately. There is already a maid at ......, so I don't recommend it, but you can enjoy putting them together.

'What do you care about my opinion? What's more important is what Cecil likes.

'Oh, yes. But actually, I'm new to buying clothes: ......

When I was with my parents, I wore clothes that were homemade.

So this is the first time I've ever bought clothes in a store.

Can I try on clothes?

...... Yeah, yeah. That's fine. You can take the back room.

The shopkeeper nods pleasantly at Nagi-sama's words.

There are a few copper coins sticking out of the shopkeeper's hand. Nagi-sama, when did you go to ......?

''Well, let's try it on then.

I'll go with you. I'll join you. Lord!

Then Reggie and I went into the back room.

...... Which is Nagi-sama's favorite outfit: ......

With three pieces of clothing in front of me, I was troubled.

'What do you think I should look like, Leggy-san, that would please Nagi?

It's a boy. Of course he's naked.

...... Ahh.

Leggy, please don't say that with a serious face.

”But you must not run around completely naked so easily. The process until then is very important.

Progress?

Goodbye. A person who always lives in the nude would not be attracted to a person dressed in the same way. Normally, they cover their skin with clothing, but when the time comes, they will expose their skin only to the Lord, and that is what makes them valuable.

Oh, I see.

That's as good as Leggy...he's a demon sword that has lived a hundred years.

''Then what's the best way to do that: ......?

'Huh. Telling you my answer will not do you any good!

Reggie looked away for some reason. Huh?

From this point forward, you'll have to see for yourself!

Yes!

Yes, this is my opportunity to do so. This is an opportunity for me to lean on you, Nagi.

We can't rely on Mr. Leggy to do this all the time.

Let's think about ...... as if you were Nagi.

First of all, Nagi-sama is a person who thinks of practicality first.

I am in a position to protect her, so I have to wear clothes that are easy to move in.

With that in mind, I don't like this dress. The skirt of this dress is too long.

It might interfere with my movement.

If anything happens to Nagi-sama because of that, I can't get it back.

This dress is ...... no good.

”Hmm.

Mr. Reggie nods, looking away.

Perhaps it was the right thing to do.

'Next, it has to be clothes you can wear right away.

I have a habit of taking off my clothes in the middle of the night to do my exercises.

When this happens, I need to be able to run to Nagi-sama immediately, even if she is in trouble.

In that sense, these shorts that are parted at the top and bottom are no good. Unlike clothes that go completely through the body, these shorts take more time to wear.

I don't think you should wear these shorts either.

I know, Cecil.

Leggy-san gave a thumbs-up. I'll return the same motion.

Lastly, the maid's uniform.

This is what Aine always wears, and I think it's cool.

But the sleeves of this one are too long. It will interfere with the absorption of magic power through the skin.

The reason why we demons are so strong is because our constitution makes it easier to absorb magic from the world. If your arms are hidden, it's useless. And long socks are no good either.

That's why the maid's uniform is not as good as it should be...

Wait a minute, it's Cecil.

...... Huh?

I've run out of clothes to wear.

It's strange. Nagi-sama told me to choose one of these things, but when I got close to Nagi's thoughts, I couldn't wear any more.

What should I do?

Isn't there an outfit that meets all the requirements and that would make Nagi-sama happy: .......

...... Ah.

I stop to look at the clothes on the table in the corner of the room.

It looks like it's for sale. It has a tag on it that says it came in today.

They would fit me perfectly.

It's easy to move in.

Easy to wear.

It reveals just the right amount of skin and absorbs magic easily.

And it's the best outfit Nagi will ever remember.

'It's the one. Mr. Reggie.

...... I see.

Reggie-san laughs at me as I take the clothes in my hands, as if I were dumbfounded.

He has a very gentle smile.

I guess that's what you like best after all.

Yes!

So I put the clothes on my body and laughed back.

Are you sure it was a good idea to go with 'Jotou Etc. Reifuku' ......?

Of course. Nagi-sama!

A uniform made of cloth that is tougher than the usual slave uniform.

Clothing made of cloth that is sturdier than ordinary slave clothing.

They do not have sleeves to make work easier. It is easy to move around in.

They are ready to wear.

The arms and legs are also bare, making it easy to take in magic.

The ribbon at the chest is a charm.''

'I hope Cecil is happy with it. As a master, I need a little more 'welfare'.

”'Recovery?' is enough. Nagi-sama.

I look up at Nagi's face and declare, ”I've given you a lot of time for me!

”Because you've given me so much of your time!

.......

'Yes. 'Yes. ''Fulfillment?'' I'm full!

Gathering up a little courage, I put Nagi's hand on my belly.

I thanked her for today. Nagi-sama.

And so Nagi-sama, me, and Reggie head to our house, side by side.

...... It's Cecil.

Mr. Leggy came up beside me and quietly whispered into my ear.

I'm not sure if those clothes are a blessing to you or not.

Do you understand?

The Lord will be offended if he hears this. ''Sullenness?'' You don't know what you're talking about.

...... then they will be properly pissed off.

It is also a reward for me.

As Reggie said, the slave clothes are my last hurrah.

If I have the collar and the slave clothes, I can remember that I am Nagi's slave.

I am a thorn in my side.

When I am with Nagi, I want to touch her more and more, I want to get closer to her...... I want to hear her voice...... I want to feel her body heat...... I think.

The position of a slave is something to be suppressed, but...

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not a good person.

I don't want to be too much in love with Nagi and forget everything, lest I go out of control.

Because Nagi-sama had 'reserved' me for you.

It's a pain in the ass. People and demi-humans.

Mr. Reggie huffs and puffs and snorts.

'But that's why I want to be with you.

'Yes, sir. Keep up the good work. Mr. Reggie.

...... What are you two talking about in private?

The next thing we knew, Nagi was looking at us curiously.

I shouldn't do this.

Don't tell anyone that I'm a picky eater.

If they find out about it they'll be unable to stop me, okay?

We were talking about which one of us could serve Nagi longer. Hey, Reggie.

Yes. Well, it was me, of course!

Is that so?

Ah. In the end, my Lord will use the mystery item to make you immortal, and you will take me, your beloved sword, on a journey to unlock the secrets of the world!

I don't plan on it!

Mmm. In that case, I'll go with you, the reborn one. I'll go with you to the end of the world!

Cecil, what are you talking about?　Because I don't plan to become immortal or anything. I'm not even interested in the secrets of the world!

Nagi-sama is still holding my hand and looks at me with a puzzled look on his face.

But I couldn't back out now.

It's true that Nagi-sama, who may have secretly saved the world from a crisis, may obtain something of the mythical class from now on.

It's because he already has the titles of ”Hero of the Sea Dragon” and ”Heavenly Dragon Otto”.

No matter how far Nagi-sama goes, we should be able to keep up with him.

''I won't lose. Leggy-san.

Oh, I see. Well then, let's see who will be with the Lord longer. Who will be with the Lord longer?

Let's go!

And so the demon sword that lived for 100 years and the last demon tribe held hands with their master between them.

Well, we don't know what's going to happen in the future.

This is just a statement of determination.

We've received the new clothes after all this time. I want to make it an unforgettable memory.

Nagi-sama, I have a favor to ask you.

Okay. What?

Let me see if I can move around in my new slave suit.

I couldn't help but hug Nagi.

She hugged me tightly.

Ease of movement.

Easy to wear.

Easy to take in magic.

More importantly, what is more important is the ability to feel Nagi's warmth against your skin.

Because the arms and legs of a slave suit are bare. There is a lot of direct contact with them.

That's why ...... is my favorite piece of clothing.

...... you scheming bastard.

Leggy has noticed that.

Is this ...... 'benefits'?

'Yes. 'Sullenness?' It is!

Well, that's just as well.

It can't be helped!

I look up into Nagi's face and say

'So the slave 's 'fulliance'? As one of the ways to do this, I suggest that you set aside time to squish Nagi-sama every day from now on!

That would be great!

It's not good!　The 'benefits' are more like this. Vacation time and hourly wages. Wait a minute. Why are you two running?

I'll make a suggestion to Rita and the others!

”If the slaves are unanimous in their request, my Lord must hear it!

Pulling Nagi's hand, we start running.

To our home, where everyone is waiting for us.

And I will tell you. How wonderful this day has been.

And I wish you all the same good day.

As I snapped the collar of my slave certificate, I thought about this.
