chapter 10
10. gaslighting
“······master.”
It was the first thing she said when she met my eyes.
‘What is this crazy bitch saying?’
I said that since he saved me, he would eat well and live well, but he came to me out of the blue and said something like ‘Master’ and fell asleep.
“Master, can you take me with you?”
I want you to know where I’m going and take me.
I saved you, so please live your life.
“Mr. Luke. Did you like that…?”
A cautious tone heard from the front.
Contrary to her cautious tone, however, Adela looked at me with contempt as if looking at trash.
Since slavery is illegal in this world, they must think it is a kind of play.
It’s not my fault, so why do I have to look at you like that?
There’s no reason to explain, and it’s annoying to explain.
“yes.”
just answered like that.
Why, do you know?
Would I really like that?
“I thought Luke was weird, but you’re not good enough…”
“Isn’t that perfectly normal?”
They do dismantling shows as entertainment for people who are having a hard time at work, and kindly give acupressure slippers to people who wield knives for asking for directions.
How can someone who is a normal model like me be called a strange person?
I can’t understand.
“Luke, do you have a conscience…?”
“Absolutely.”
Anyone who sees you will know that you are a psychopath.
There is a triangle in my heart too.
It’s said that it rolls well now because it is polished hard and made into a circle.
– growl.
Oh, now is not the time for this.
I was hungry so I worked hard to catch monsters, but I delayed my time because there was an issue with the owner for a while.
“I’ll just go.”
I picked up 19 fairy tales from the reception desk, put them in my money bag, and left the adventurer’s guild, leaving behind Adela, who looked at me like a crazy person.
As soon as I came out of the adventurer’s guild, I headed to the cafeteria street, and on the way there was a beast woman following me from behind.
Even if you don’t want to pay attention, other people’s eyes are attracted to you because you’re a beast.
And that gaze followed me.
‘Why am I so attracted to aggro?’
Once because I was possessed and got into a fight, and once because I got into an adventurer’s guild and got into a fight with a servant.
Now that I see it, it was all a fight and aggro was attracted.
‘Isn’t it my fault?’
They say that the world only cares about good people, and that was true.
However, you can’t drag it behind you forever.
Because I was like a monkey who escaped from the zoo because I received too much attention during the day.
“Excuse me. I saved you, so why are you following me?”
“I have nowhere else to go.”
No, I have nowhere to go, so why are you following me?
You can go home. Home!
“Can I come along too? Master…?”
The voice of the master of that bastard.
A woman calling you master and following you?
You’d be right to call it a green light.
The way I see it, this is gaslighting.
It is clear that by continuing to call me master next to me, I am slowly brainwashing myself into the real owner.
“Can I not go home?”
“My house was all burned down when I was kidnapped…”
Oops. I’m sorry.
Then you need to find someone to help you.
Except for me.
“But you know where I’m going and want to go with you?”
“You’re an adventurer, aren’t you going hunting?”
“Do you know how to hunt?”
“Yes. Wind magic and daggers to some extent…”
Why did someone who can use magic and a dagger get kidnapped?
“How did you get kidnapped when you knew how to fight?”
“My family was held hostage.”
It’s too classic, so there’s nothing to say.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
My family was taken hostage, but seeing that they still had nowhere to go after they were released, it seemed that they were all dead.
“I’m asking just in case, don’t you think I won’t follow you?”
“Yes.”
What is the attitude of the owner when he says he is the owner?
“Ha… yes, let’s go, slave.”
Having a girl at the party is good for morale as well.
Honestly, she’s pretty, and a harem is a dream that every man dreams of at least once.
“Come to think of it, I don’t know your name. What’s your name?”
“I’m Luna. I’m 20 years old.”
“I’m Luke and I’m 20 as well.”
“Yes. Thank you very much. Master.”
I don’t know if I’m telling you to listen on purpose, but I always say the voice of the owner.
I get used to it after listening to it over and over again, but it seems that I have reached the final stage of brainwashing.
“Can’t you stop talking about Master?”
“Are you uncomfortable?”
yes. fucking
In a world where slavery is prohibited, even calling yourself a master is a problem, didn’t you see how Adela looked at me with contempt earlier?
In fact, is the back of the people I killed earlier a spy sent to bury me socially?
“It doesn’t matter what the title is, so don’t just call me master.”
“Okay. Mr. Luke.”
Luke is obviously a commoner, but since he only drags a woman behind him, he seems to be a son of an aristocrat somewhere.
I came to a street with many restaurants with Luna, and maybe it was close to dinner time, so the smell of delicious things was wafting through the streets.
An exotic smell quite different from the Korean food I ate every day.
All the smells look delicious, so it’s hard to choose.
“Yes, Luna.”
“Yes?”
“Choose something to eat.”
“······Yes?”
aka spanking.
When choice obstacles arise, the best thing to do is to pass them on to others.
I could see that Luna was taken aback, but she had no intention of returning what she had handed over.
“Well, how about over there?”
Luna pointed at a building with her finger.
But let’s say over there…
There was no way I knew about it, and if it doesn’t taste good, then go and blame Luna.
Entering the building Luna pointed out, I saw countless tables crowded with adventurers and people.
“Oh. Good choice.”
How did you choose a meat restaurant just by smelling it?
It seems that he has a good sense of smell, perhaps because he is a beastman.
“Hey~”
We also sat down at a roughly empty table and called the clerk.
“Yes, would you like to order?”
After all, it’s right for a pretty person to be a clerk.
Wouldn’t that increase sales?
This house is going to be a big success.
“Please give me two as a recommendation.”
“All right.”
“Lu, Mr. Luke. I don’t have any money…”
“I’ll live.”
There are 19 coins earned by catching goblins, and 2 silver coins obtained by robbing a corpse.
And starving won’t help you when you go hunting tomorrow.
You have to feed them a lot to pamper them.
“It’s okay for me to starve, so Luke-sama, eat it by yourself…”
“Slaves… talk back?!”
“······I will eat it with gratitude.”
When you said you would proudly follow me, when did you come back and have a slave mind?
After all, people only speak when they feel good.
“But Luna said you know how to use wind magic.”
“Yes.”
“Show me once.”
At my words, Luna lifted a hand on the table so that I could see it clearly and fanned it a little.
“Oh oh···.”
The first magic you see after possessing.
In terms of ability, intelligence is 0, and since he has a magical power tester, he won’t feel anything even if he uses magic right in front of his eyes.
In the work, there were descriptions such as being seen gathering mana, or the overwhelming amount of mana.
From my point of view, the wind just happened out of nowhere.
‘But if you have this kind of power, why are you afraid of hostages?’
If it were me, I would have just held the opposing commander hostage.
No matter how you say it, people put their own lives first.
If you weighed your life against a slave you would sell to eat, of course the scale would tip with your own life.
Seeing them being taken hostage and used every day is like eating a truckload of sweet potatoes.
“What type of magic does Luke use?”
“Me? I can’t use magic?”
“······Yes?”
“I have no magic power.”
If I had magic, I would have used everything I didn’t already have as soon as I possessed it.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Maybe he set the dormitory on fire.
“You don’t have magical powers, but are you an adventurer…?”
“What’s wrong with not having magical power? If you don’t have magical power, you can’t be an adventurer.”
Even if I don’t have magic, I have skills and status windows that others don’t have.
Among the high-ranking adventurers in the work, there was no one who did not have magical powers, but that’s not a possessor.
An incarnation of noooohohyeok like me is on a different level from them.
“Luke-sama… you’re amazing.”
“I’m not that great.”
“The food you ordered is here.”
After chatting with Luna for a while, the food I ordered came out.
***
Luna looked at the food in front of her eyes.
‘The proper food I’ve had in a long time…’
Lately, when I was living behind bars, I had never eaten proper food.
In order to manage the quality of the slaves, they only delivered the minimum amount of food that would not kill them, and even that was either hard beef jerky or grunt.
That’s why it seemed like he couldn’t hold back his appetite for the food in front of him.
A tomahawk with a bone like a handle, overflowing with gravy, and vegetables plated around it.
I wanted to put the food in my mouth as soon as possible, which looked appetizing just by looking at it, but I looked at Luke for fear of looking filthy.
When I glanced away from the food, I saw Luke, who was eating uglier than anyone else.
“Umai!”
It’s chewy.
“Umai!”
‘·······.’
It must have been for no reason, she thought.
The odd thing was that Luke only ate vegetables and never touched meat, so I wondered if he liked vegetables contrary to appearances.
‘Don’t worry about it, I have to eat quickly.’
Now I can eat a proper meal.
The moment she picked up the fork and knife.
-bang!
“You bastard bastard!”
“Fuck. The fool is an idiot.”
At a nearby table, two male adventurers got into a fight.
“Cow, sir, you can’t fight here!”
I could see the clerk dissuading me from behind, but if I had heard that, I wouldn’t have fought in the first place.
There were people everywhere who lived up to their pride, and it was the same whether they were commoners or nobles.
There were belligerents everywhere, and it just happened to be here this time.
And I looked around to see what other people were doing.
“Fight quickly!”
“Cheer up the atmosphere a little more!”
I had no intention of stopping it, and everyone was fussing as if they had found a good spectacle.
‘I think it’s wrong to eat…’
She thought she would have to starve for dinner tonight.
I’m about to suggest to Luke how to go out because I don’t know when sparks will fly.
-Kudangtang!
Before I knew it, the two men who came near Luke and Luna’s table started fighting.
And.
“Itadakimasu~”
-puck.
– Iron flounder.
The meat in Luke’s hand fell to the floor.
