13. [MATE]
Mr.Douglas spread things on his desk one after another.
Meats and fish on bread, big sandwichs’ stuffed with vegetables and a large skewered lumps of meat baked in sauce, also something that looks like a fruit salad.
My drink was the canteen Mr.Douglas had bought me on the way here.
I’m on Mr.Gail’s lap, so that I can eat on my own so I’m indebted to him

. and I’m worried about that.
“Chica, don’t hesitate to eat what you like.”
Mr.Douglas said something that seemed like he could see inside my head.
“Chica, what do you want to eat?”
I was then asked by Mr.Gail.
“Um, can I have one of the sandwiches with meat and vegetables?”
“Okay.”
Mr. Gale picks up a sandwich and brings it to my mouth.
Does this mean, it’s eaten by hand?
“Um Mr.Gail, I can eat it by myself

”
“It’ll be fine.”
But what’ll be fine

?
“We, well then, thanks for the food.”
I take a bite of the offered sandwich.
It packed with meat and vegetables like crispy lettuce, that combined with fragrant bread is really delicious, I was overwhelmed by the crispy-crispy while eating from Mr.Gail’s hands.
“What do you want to eat next?”
“Um, Is it okay to have one more of the same?”
“You don’t have to hold back, you’re growing

 well your body is still going to continue growing right. Eat more get more meat.”
Mr.Gail then grabs a sandwich with salmon-like fish, cheese, and tomato-like vegetables, and put it in my mouth.
“Um Mr.Gail, won’t doing this mean Mr.Gail can’t eat
.?”
“It’s okay, I’m eating while Chika is eating.”
It was true.
While I was chewing the sandwich, Mr.Gail is eating sandwiches and skewers with great gusto on her right hand.
The balance of each ingredient such as salmon sandwich and fresh salmon and thick cheese was exquisite and excellent.
Each one is so large that my stomach is quite bloated just by eating two.
“Chika, What’s next?”
“Sorry, I’m already full
..”
“You’re a really small eater, you can’t grow unless you eat more? Well, try to eat some of these fruits for now.”
Mr.Gail presented a bowl of fruits that Mr.Mintz had peeled and cut beautifully, I ate a few, and I managed to appease him.
After taking a breath I drank the juice like drink from the bottle that Mr. Douglas gave me.
“But honestly, I’m surprised seeing Gail like this. It may seem rude, but Mr.Gail is usually a rugged and rigid person. He’s not a person of many words, and isn’t interested in anyone

., and I think there was a wall that would never let you in even if you were well taken care of. It’s strange because it’s an image opposite to the usual branch master in that he never felt deeply for another party.”
“What do you mean ‘I’m the opposite’?”
“What? I mean exactly that.”
“Chika is special, I was convinced earlier Chika is my [ ban ] .”
I sputtered out the juice I was drinking.
What did Mr.Gail say?
I’m Mr.Gail’s [ ban ] ?
“Eh, is that true?”
Mr.Mintz is also surprised.
“Yeah, I knew clearly by the exchange of magic power earlier. Chika’s magical power wasn’t painful or uncomfortable at all, it was pleasant. And, I smelt a strong fragrance from Chika. It smells like fresh green nature, how about Chika?”
“Oh yes, I didn’t feel any pain in the magic exchange. It was a warm and pleasant feeling, certainly from Gail there was a refreshing good smell

”
“Ah, then it certain, I didn’t explain it to Chika, but basically I feel discomfort and pain when I accept the magic of others. It also gives the other person that feeling when using healing techniques. There’s no such feeling if it’s [ ban ] , it’ll feel rather comfortable. Also, when emitting magic, a unique fragrance that only [ ban ] can smell and understand.”
“Is-is that right, Mr.Gail, Sorry
..”
Why am I Mr.Gail’s [ ban ] .
If I hadn’t come to this world would Mr.Gail have met another [ ban ] ?
I can’t help but think like that.
“Why are you apologizing?”
“For anima their [ ban ] is a very important existence right? That’s the kind of thing I am not capable of
..”
“Chika, that’s not true
.”
Then, Mr.Douglas who was silently watching suddenly opened his mouth.
“Sorry! Can I for a bit? I have something I want you to check, lend me Chika for a little bit.”
When Mr.Douglas tells him such Mr.Gail lifts me up carefully and gives me to Mr.Douglas.
“Chika, will you try to exchange the magic with me?”
“Y-yes, I don’t mind.”
I had questions but I didn’t ask, entangling our fingers together as I did with Mr.Gail, and receive the power flowing from and sending it back to him.
This feeling is the same as the time with Mr.Gale.
And Mr. Douglas smells like a very sweet ripe fruit.
There’s no way

.
“Oh, I was confident but it was good to make sure. I’m also Chika’s [ ban ] .”
When I look at him Mr.Douglas is staring at me with a very happy face with his eyes lowered down.
“The Branch Master too!? The [ ban ] of the branch master, called the guild’s stallion, with his lower body maneuvering and the opponent being Chika
.. Chika are you okay? Please tell me as soon as the branch chief asks me to do something intangible!If, please tell me as soon as the branch master asks you to do something deplorable!”
“Don’t tell Chika about unnecessary things Mintz, What’s with the way you see me
..”
“Well, that aside Chika, being those two [ ban ] , these two people are difficult in a certain sense for Chika, but speaking conversely, these two people are super excellent prospects. They have status, they have fortune, they have weapons, they are the best bodyguards. Use them well!”
“Um! Please wait a moment!”
I let out a loud voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, as I said earlier, [ ban ] is very important existence right? Is that really okay with me? I’m a person from a different world who’s contents and age appearance do not correlate. Besides
., ever since I came to this world
 that
 I was a sex slave. I was violated by countless men

 I have a very dirty body that has had such things done to it that can’t be said by mouth
. For me to be you two’s [ ban ] I can’t
..”
Even though it isn’t their choice what’re the feelings of these men who have been forcibly made my [ ban ] ?
Today has been really confusing.
“Uh well

 Chika, indeed I was confused with your status information just a while ago, I wanna ask you a question. I think it’s really bad. However, caring about this different world is what you’re concerned about it right? It’s rather funny, I’ve liked you since I first saw you. Talking to you has me falling in love all over again like I’m drowning. Not missing the depth of your nostalgia baby, we were really happy to hear that you were an adult, right?”
“Chika, I feel the same as Doug. I think it was because I felt something like fate that I took you from the slave shop in the first place. And also you said that you are dirty, but you never were, rather we think that we have to compensate you for the treatment of this world’s men against you. Still, If you can’t forgive yourself rest assured, I will use any method to search for those who made you feel like that, and I will kill them myself.”
Both Mr.Gail and Mr.Douglas look at me with serious expressions, and said words I never imagined.
The last words Mr.Gail said with a very nice smile was a bit of a concern but how gentle are these two people 


“Really, are you really sure it’s me

?”
“The one who has the choice whether or not to, isn’t it Chika’s? Well, I’m not going to let you leave anymore.”
“Yeah, I like Chika.”
So very happy.
There are people who want me, who needs only me in this world.
This is, It may be dependent, but it was still good.
“Uh, [ ban ] ’s meaning, I just don’t understand the role of my partner or anything in this world

 I think I’m going to trouble you. But, I will do whatever I can to help. So 
 please, Ibeg you, let me be by your sides.”
I lower my head.
“Don’t think so hard, It would be good if Chika were next to us.”
“Thank you very much, I will do my best!”
“So it would be fine to say that Chika has agreed to us being his companions.”
Suddenly, Mr.Douglas lifts his hand to my jaw.
Mr.Douglas’s face was in front of my eyes when mine was made to tilt up.
And, he put his own mouth over my mouth.
He covered mine with his much larger one, and a thick tongue crawls in my mouth.
The tongue moves freely from my upper jaw to the lower and slowly licks my teeth, then gets entangled with my tongue.
Too much shock and pleasure made strength leave my waist and hands.
When I forget how to breathe and was distressed, Mr.Gail’s big arms grab me from behind, I was pulled away from Mr.Douglas.
“What are you doing!? This is not the place!”
“No I think that he’ll feel more relieved if I let him know with my body rather than saying various things by mouth right?”
“After all branch master was branch master

”
I was so embarrassed with too much affection so I tighten my body squeezing and getting smaller.
“Well, isn’t it strange being able to stand it seeing at such a cute Chika?”
“I usually stand it. Chika, don’t hesitate too much.”
Stant it? What does it mean? I can’t think.
“Little Chika. Perhaps, you’re not aware but your appearance is very attractive. When your huddled up like that and shaking, It’s like saying to these two beasts beasts ‘please eat me’.”
“Is- is that so

 I didn’t know that it’s attractive I’ll be careful.”
