I am currently stroking the head of Efil. Her back is slightly lower, and thereâs a difference of one head with me who is 170cm. It is easy to stroke.
Why did it become like this? When I solved the curse of the Fire Dragon King, Efir suddenly started to cry. When I got dumbfounded not understanding why, she burried her face on my chest and started crying. So Iâm consoling her until she stop crying. Iâm not minding about the chests that hitting me, Iâm not minding it.
âHiku, uuâŠ.â
I chanted the Rank E green magic [Clean]. It is a magic that cleans the whole body without bathing. However, because there is no refreshing feeling, one might still want to enter the bath, even though it is convenient. Due to poor handling as slave, Efir was dirty all over her body. I can not keep a girl in such state. Yeah, her hair became beautiful.
â⊠Iâm sorry I cried suddenly, I have never touched people since I was littleâ
Efil let go of me after she stopped crying.
âIs it because of a curse?ââYes, I am okay, but other people will burn when touched by my handsâŠâ
Efil has tears on her eyes. It seems that her relationship with people so far is weak.
âSince when are you a slave?ââI am already a slave when I became aware of my surrounding. I donât know the faces of my parents, but I heard that I was sold soon after I was bornâŠââI see, it is hard for you until nowâ
I do not know what kind of difficulties Efil has gone through so far. However, I do not want to taste similar sorrow.\n
âEfil, I am an adventurer. I am planning to train you and put in my party. If you donât like it, I could find somebody else, but what would you do?ââI will become an adventurer and become useful to master!â
Without any doubt, Efil responded immediately with straight eyes.
âI accept Efilâs desire. Once again, nice to meet you.â
I held out my hand.
âNice to meet you!â
Efir grasped my hand with both of her hands.

âClare-san, Iâm backâ
I came back to Singing Spirits with Efil. Clare-san came out immediately.
âWelcome back, whatâs the matter with that girl?!â
Clare-san rushed to Efil. Even if she turned out pretty using [Clean], her clothes is still in tatters. It is no wonder that Clare-san is flustered.
âI was bought from slave merchant. Efil saysâ
Efil simple greet.\nâExcuse me, do you have clothes that may fit to Efil? The stores are almost closedâŠââKel-chan is still lost. Leave it to me! Efil-chan, choose the clothes you want in this roomâ
Words stuck in my chest, but I just let is pass. Letâs sit and wait for them to be ready.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ââŠâŠ.longâ
Iâm waiting for 30 minutes now but there is no sign that they are coming out. It is alright for the shop assistants deal with the shop but what is taking them long?
[Women takes time in dressing up][Shall I consider her skill-composition now?]
Another 15 minutes passed.
âI kept you waiting!â
Clare opened the door swiftly and came out.
âEfil-chan, show your bright appearance to your masterââY-yesâ
Efil came out from the room nervously.
Frankly speaking I didnât recognized her. The bangs that were long enough to hide the face were trimmed, and the golden hair stretched to the waist is bundled behind the neck. Efilâs real face that I saw from the front for the first time combines cute and cleanliness, and I can even feel the royaltyâs elegance. The skin peculiar to elves was white like porcelain, smooth and beautiful. Only at this time, I realized that the pretty girl with beautiful appearance is Efil.
\nHowever, no one between me and Efil budged.
âIs not it okay to sleep together? Efil-chan is Kelâs slave. Is there a problem?â
Clare-san makes a remark. Please donât look at me with that kind of face.
Me and Efil reflexively glanced at each other. We can not find a solution yet We postponed this problem and we returned to the room for the time being.
