[A hero? Did this girl come from a different world too?]
Sakura asked.
[No, she wasn’t summoned nor reincarnated, I think she is a hero born in this world. Look carefully, it has “of beast man” attached to it.]
[Err, what is the title? Master is talking like it is natural…]
I didn’t explain about that yet.
[Is that a title often seen in game? Master can see it… Is that a power of judgment?]
It seems she knows the outline of it without explanation. I didn’t expected for her to be well-informed.
[Yeah, you aren’t wrong, I will explain it later.]
[Understood. I will be looking forward to this more and more.]
I grin and smile. Mayonnaise suddenedly appeared. This kind of story is very attractive in another world.
[It was an unusual rare title. I suddenly decide to buy her to hear the detail. Well, it doesn’t seem I could hear her story like this.]
Her whole body is tattered. When I look at her HP, it is really low from a considerable penalty. I’m certain she will die if she was left alone. Since I brought her, I won’t let her die.
Sakura seems to notice this too when I look at her.
[By any chance, do you want to cure this girl with my special power?]
There is no magic to recover damage in this world. In short, Sakura’s <magic creation=""> can do it. By the way, the kind of magic Sakura wants the most when I asked her is “Magic that is useful for Jin-kun”. I think this is a good opportunity to realize that and no better reason to do it either.</magic>
There are a lot of enemy with high magic power and MP.
[Magic…What did you do this time…?]
As Mio heard our story, she said in low voice. It seems she couldn’t contain her curiosity.
I transfer almost all magic power and MP Dora and I have to Sakura.
[……It seems to be enough.]
Magic formations appears on Sakura’s feet and shine.
[…<magic creation=""> [revive]!!]</magic>
It was a whiteout for a few second. When I check Sakura’s status, I see a newly added magic.
<magic creation=""> [Revive]</magic>
Can restore target’s lost body part. Can’t be used on a dead person. Removes all penalty but doesn’t restored HP by itself.
It seems she successfully created new magic to heal beast man slave Maria safely.
[Phew. …It is done…]
As Sakura takes a deep breath, I confirmed only less than half of her MP is left. Even if there is some MP left, consuming a large amount of MP rapidly will cause fatigue. I hand MP recovery medicine I brought from general store (It calls magic recovery medicine) earlier to Sakura.
[Drink this.]
[T-Thank you very much.]
It will be bad if I let Sakura casts magic in this situation. Magic creation comsumed a lot of MP, It seems Sakura doesn’t have a good MP efficiency.
[Sakura, may I do it and let you rest?]
[Ah, please. I will take a rest a little.]
Sakura sat on the bed and take a rest. I transfer her magic power and MP from her. By the way, I can take <created magic=""> but not <magic creation=""> special power.</magic></created>
The criteria is mysterious.
[Maria, I’m going to heal you now. I don’t know what is going to happened, it might be worse than now. Do you want to do it?]
I could see only a despair in Maria’s eyes the whole time. Even after I told her. I think she already gave up. However, since she already gave up, she just nods without any complain.
[Understood. I will chant it now.]
I stand in front of Maria and start chanting. My MP is dropped sharply. I want more magic power and MP. I think we might need to hunt for magic power soon.
The chant was completed. It took around 10 minutes. It will be hard to use during combat.
[Revive]
Light is warping around Maria. I couldn’t see her well but her silhouette is gradually changing.
When the light is settled, all her damaged limbs were healed only a lovely brown color short hair girl with cat ear remains there.
As the magic described, her decreased HP isn’t recovered. I cast healing magic on her with the little remain MP I have.
[Uh. Most of it are healed. But your HP is still decreasing. …Heal.]
This is Maria’s original form. She just stands there dumbfound. Mio also looks at me, dumbfound. I didn’t explain anything. Sakura just gives an satisfied smile while Dora’s eyes are fixing on Maria’s cat ear.
Maria looks at her own body. Touch her own face, own hand and her whole body.
[Eh, I can talk now. My hand are there too. Why… I was about to die… ue,]
[ue?]
Maria gave a strange voice. Her face get crumpled instantly. Perhaps this…
[ueeeeeeeeeeeeeeen. bieeeeeeeeee]
Maria starts crying as I thought. She seriously cries. A wailing. She keeps crying almost 10 minutes before knee in front of me. What is the meaning of that?
[Err, Maria. What is that pose for?]
Maria answers while looking down.
[It is my intention to show you my loyalty.]
Oh, this posture has this kind of meaning after all.
[Please let me say something I can’t say until now. My name is Maria. Jin-sama. I’m really grateful for you to help me. Please let me sware my loyalty to you for the rest of my life.]
Maria suddenly said something heavy. No, a loyalty for life… Well, if I don’t free you, you will be slave for the rest of your life. At this point, this girl is accepting it.
Oh, since Mio is crime slave, I can’t release her on my own. Slave dealer will have to deal in that case. Because if you buy criminal slave and free immediately, it will cause a danger to public.
[Err, you sworn your loyalty for the rest of your life, don’t you want to be freed from being a slave?]
[Yes, I don’t want to be free at all. With the wound like that, it isn’t strange I’m going to die soon. If someone comes to rescue me, I will give everything to that person. With or without slave creast, I have no intention to go against it. So there is no point of released me.]
If she is going to listen to me regardless of the presence of slave crest, there is no point of released her. However, speech and behavior are too heavy for her…
[Well, I’m glad a cute girl like you swear the loyalty to me…]
[A cute girl…]
Maria is blushing, her face looks happy from the bottom of her heart. Well, even you are slave, you still happy when someone told you are cute. Or perhaps, she didn’t show her face when you were at slave market.
[Is it okay? Sakura is the one who created this magic and I just used this on you. And yet, why did you give your gratitude to me?]
I just cast revive and heal her a little. The most effort was from Sakura.
[I don’t know about magic but Jin-sama bought me as slave first. And you asks Sakura-sama for help. Of course, I’m really grateful for Sakura-sama but it is still Jin-sama’s decision to heal me. Therefore, I swear my loyalty to you.]
The leader of this party is basically me. Although Maria’s opinion wasn’t wrong. So I gladly accept her loyalty.
[Understood. Maria, I accept your loyalty.]
[Yes, please take care of me.]
And then Maria stands up, join her hands together with an expression of lady in love.
[Nevertheless, the appearance of Jin-sama who healed my body is exactly look like a god. It was regrettable that I could see only half of it with only 1 eyes left.]
[Err, call me god it a little too much, please stop.]
[O-Okay.]
It it impossible not to think about gods. I don’t know god is existed in our former world or not but they are in this world. As a person who is hated by god to be called a god, it doesn’t feel good.
For now, the introduction of 2 slaves were done, let’s talk about the detail.
[Introduction of those two are done, let’s get into the detail. Oh, what I’m going to tell you is an absolute secret you must not tell anybody else.]
I warn them first. Mio could guesses it somehow but I should declare it clearly.
[Yes, understood.]
[That’s right, masters are abnormal no matter where you look.]
Mio, isn’t that too cruel? You called us abnormal just from showing you our special powers…
[Let’s introduce ourselves once again. I’m Shindou Jin. Shindou is my family name and Jin is my name.]
[Family name… Is Jin a noble?]
Maria raises her hand and asks question. That kind of treatment is unpleasant.
Only noble has family name in this world. So we just call each other with just Jin and Sakura.
[No, it is different. Everybody from my hometown has family name.]
[You aren’t the resident of this town. Could you tell me where you come from?]
Revealing is prohibited. So I don’t mind telling her.
[Different world. We were summoned here by magic.]
[Is Jin-sama a hero?]
As I told her, Maria was surprised. Eh? I was talking about this with Mio earlier, in front of Maria too… Oh, she wasn’t in the state for listen at that moment. Even so, a hero…
[It is different. Let’s stop talking about god, noble and hero.]
[I-I’m really sorry…]
I warn Maria with a slightly angry tone.
I know she meant no harm but it’s just something I don’t want to talk about.
[This girl is Kinoshita Sakura. She and I were summoned to this world along with other students. But we were only 2 people that didn’t have a blessing gift from god. Those who came from different world and possess a blessing gift are called hero. And we don’t, so we aren’t hero.]
[Ohya, you aren’t a hero. My expectation is a little bit off. But what is about the people who were summoned at the same time…? This is the first time I saw someone with Japanese feature too.]
Mio has black hair and black eyes, but her face features are slightly western. Her appearance is good but there is few sense of incompatibility when compared to Japanese people. She will look well-matched if she has blond hair and blue eyes.
[Nihon, Is that the name of Jin-sama’s hometown? How did you know that and why?] [Spec: She talk with katakana. In case you don’t know, nihon = Japan]
[Oh, then it’s my turn. As I introduced myself a little while ago, my name is Mio. I lived in the same world as master but I died and was reborn in this world with memory of my past life.]
[Reincarnation… Something like that existed too.]
From Maria’s expression, I guess it only appeared in fairy tale.
This world doesn’t seem to have only people who was transferred but also the reincarnators too. Perhaps it might be more.
[How did a reincarnator like you become a crime slave at this age?]
[Err~…]
As for Sakura’s question, it makes her really nervous. She was desperate when she told me, but when think about calmly, it is a little stupid. So, it is hard to say.
[I wanted to raise money quickly and So I made mayonnaise becomes well-known, but a large dose of mayonnaise is a poison for the people in this world…]
She gives a different version than she told me.
[My house wasn’t very rich. Or should I say a poor people in poor village. Well, I could easily make mayonnaise which wasn’t here before becomes popular because I want a better life.]
She aimed to rise with the modern knowledge.
[You intended to mass-product them and sell if it was popular. It was popular in the village, but judging from the conclusion, a person who it ate in large quantity died. The people who like mayonnaise died one after another…So I, the person who sold it was caught in no time and turn into crime slave.]
Since symptom didn’t appear if you don’t eat it in large quantity in this world and Mio who sampled it is relatively safe.
[An infamous crime slave who poison, they prepared to send me to mine if no one brought me… ugh~ it is dangerous.]
Mine has a extremely high fatality rate, I’m not surprised she is really afraid of that. It seems she had restless nights too.
[I have to say it once again. Thank for bought me. I will serve you whole heartily, please take care of me, okay?]
She said it playfully.
I try to ask Mio about something on my mind.
[Come to think of it, how old were you when you dead? You are 8 years old here.]
[Ugh, it is impolite to ask woman’s age.]
[Well, I don’t think it will be a problem to ask girl around 8 years old.]
I don’t have any problem because she is 8 years old now. But her mental age might be in marriageable age. It is complex.
[16 years old. Died by accident.]
Almost the same age as us. No…
[So your mental age is about 24 years old.]
[Please don’t add it…]
Mio’s face look unpleasant. External age is 8 years old, mental age is 24 years old and her age of death was 16 years old. Uh, I think I get it.
[As I said before, I’m confident in my cooking skill, please leave it to me. I can do housework as well. Since I will work properly, please don’t throw me away, okay?]
She said with upturned eyes. I approach her and pat her head because she is too cute.
[I won’t. Don’t worry.]
[Hau~~]
Mio becomes bright red. It seems I confused her to the point she lost her playful nature. With that unexpectedly cute reaction, Dora also came at me, begging me to pat her too.
