“Master. I know this may seem strange coming from the world we live in now, but would you allow me to wear clothes for a while?”
“Master, you mean me …… right? No, I’d rather you wear clothes. I mean, it’s not as if we’re abnormal right now, because we’re usually properly clothed.”
For starters, since things aren’t great right now, I put on the clothes that Sakura made me take off…
“You’re in a culture where people wear clothes, but everyone is naked, men and women alike …… So that means that Master and his wives are all perverts.”
“No, that’s …… it’s hard for me to deny it with my chest exposed.”
“Please don’t worry. Even if you are such a perverted master, I will follow you. But if you try to put your hands on me, there is a possibility that I will go out of control.”
“No, I won’t. I mean, it was just bad timing, but I usually don’t do it in a place like this.”
Sophie looked at me with a serious look.
L-Let’s change the subject for now.
“By the way, does Sophie live in this cave?”
“I’ll live with Master, though.”
“Oh, no. I mean, before you met me.”
“Before I met the Master ……? No, I’m afraid I have no such data?”
“Data? I don’t know what you are talking about, but you’re fighting just now, didn’t you? It’s before that.”
“Fought the Master? Who did?”
“……? It is impossible for me to fight against the Master.”
Sophie looks like she doesn’t understand, tilts her head and is troubled.
Hmm. It was just a few minutes ago, but …… Is there something she can’t tell me, and she’s hiding it?
But it doesn’t look like she’s playing dumb.
Although, I don’t think she got amnesia in these few minutes.
“Ah! Could it be that the master tried to forcibly attack me? In that case, I can’t deny that I went out of control.”
“I don’t think I tried to attack you, but …… well, Sophie called me a pervert.”
“You were completely naked, after all.”
“You attacked me with your red light skill, though.”
“Red light ……? The attack that might be applicable is probably a heat ray, but no matter how out of control I was, I don’t think it’s an attack directed at Master.”
No, it wasn’t an attack directed at me, but Sakura was attacked twice with it.
“Then, what about the thing Sophie called a defense mechanism or something like that(?) , a big lump of iron came and attacked me with a series of white light attacks.”
“…… I’m sorry. I don’t have any pertinent data on that. What are you referring to?”
“…… No, it’s fine. I understand. Let’s stop talking about this for now. Then I want you to tell me about yourself.”
“Yes. I am a magical girl in the service of the Master.”
“What is a magical girl?”
“A being powered by magic, a being that is both human and not human.”
“No, it is fundamentally different from a magic doll. I’m a magical girl.”
…… Is this some kind of quiz?
She moves with magic power, but she’s not a magic doll…… Well, certainly, my orders were working for the golem, but it didn’t affect Sophie at all.
But what is a being that is human and not human? I have no idea.
I turned to Ellie and Nina to see if they know what she was talking about, and they shook their heads in silence.
“Um, so how old is Sophie then?”
“I have the specification that I am …… fifteen years old.”
“Specification? I mean, isn’t it a bit off to say that you’re fifteen years old? You look about 12 years old, though.”
“No, I am fifteen years old. However, if the master prefers a 12-year-old, I can change my setting. I cannot change my appearance, but I can change my personality and behavior to that of a 12-year-old. Would you like to change my settings?”
“I don’t really understand, but you don’t have to change it. You can just stay as usual.”
If I said twelve-year-old …… I wonder if Sophie’s going to continue to play the role of a twelve-year-old child.
I mean, she looks about twelve, so it doesn’t look like she’s forcing herself to speak now.
For the time being, I gave up asking further and decided to take Sophie back home with us…
“Master. I am still okay for the time being, but my remaining magic power is less than 20 percent. Please supply me with magic power in some way.”
“I understand. For the time being, you’ll be fine as long as you have magic power, right? …… [Share Magic].”
Since she said she needed magic power, I immediately used the paladin’s Share Magic skill.
“Thank you, Master. The current method is fine, but if possible, in the future, could you please use the method in which you poured magic power when you activated me? The settings are automatically adjusted so that the method at the time of activation is the optimal method of supplying magic power.”
“Activation method? I’m sorry, what are you talking about?”
“I don’t know what it is, but I think you had me drink the master’s magic power through my mouth and put it into my body. That method is the most efficient.”
“When you say Sophie was made to drink …… Ah, you mean that thing!? If your magic power is getting low, call on me again.”
Sophie said something outrageous, and Ellie and the others looked at her with a serious look.
