I had built a large village hall, in which we´re going to eat.

* Good thing that I bought food, back in Turonis.

They had soup, I once heard that it´s not good for starved people to eat too much and solid food.

Ilza stayed the whole day by my side.

“Ilza?” I asked while cooking.

“Yes, Clair? “ Ilza

“You do realize that I´m not normal, do you?” Me

“I do, but I don´t care, you saved me, unlike any human or beastkin I know. The person is important, not the appearance.” Ilza

“You said that you´d come with me, will you do it even if I say that I´ll travel around the world, where we´ll see many different dangers?”Me

“Are you able to protect me?” Ilza asked.

“Not always. We would need to train, there might be faster ways, but they come with changes.” I said honestly.

“What kind of changes?” Ilza asked a little worried.

“I could enchant your body with enchantments or mana manipulation. We could also train in a way that you can protect yourself.” Me

“Would that hurt and how would my body change?” Ilza

“I have to test the body enhancements with mana manipulation on animals before I do it with sentient beings, the enchantments would look like tattoos and the training would make you more sporty.

But you could protect yourself after all this.” Me

“If that will let me stay by your side, then please enchant and modify me.” Ilza

* Is that something that a normal person would say?

“Why? We know each other, just for two days.” Me

“You know, I was a slave since birth. My mother died giving birth to me and my former master said it was my fault, he whipped me for every little mistake I did, no matter how small it was.

They raped me every day, they did the same thing to my mother they said, this lasted until they sold me.

The life in the inn was better, I regained my will to life, but still had to sleep in the barn and had no one to talk.

And then you came.... A free elf, pretty, strong and doing whatever you want.

You healed me and even stopped touching me in the bath. It felt good, but it reminded me, of my past. I was afraid, you would notice that and stopped. No one ever stopped, you did...for me.”

Now she had tears in her eyes.

“Then you vanished, as quick as you came.

I thought of asking you to buy me, but did not. I was afraid,... afraid of a rejection. That you would reject me who is soiled.

The mistress of the inn sold me to a brothel, as she noticed that my wounds were healed.

The other girls in the brothel were nice, however, it still was a brothel.

It was only a week, but the baron came in this week three times, only to me.

He strangled me while he did it... and then bought me.

I knew that he´ll do bad things to me, things my first owner did to me.

I prayed during the whipping, I prayed, that someone would come and rescue me... I prayed that you would come and that you´d take me with you.

And you came, even offering me a place beside you. Now I fear that I´ll get in the same situation if I leave you, so please.”

She now completely cried.

“Please let me stay at your side.”

I embraced her and whispered.

“You can stay with me as long as I live. Let us discuss anything else tomorrow.” Me

The women who helped us cooking also cried and we stayed like this for more than five minutes, until Ilza calmed down, during these five minutes she continually said “ thank you, thank you, thank yo....”

At least, we were able to finish cooking.

We ate in a hall, with enough room for everyone.

On my left side was Ilza. The earless beastkin woman, which name is Kyli, was to my right.

“Savior, is there something that we can do for you?” Kyli asked me.

“Savior?” Me

“You did not state your name, so we´re calling you savior.” Kyli

“Sorry, my name is Clair, while I´m a girl and Dex as a man.” Me

“So you really are able to change your form, you truly must be a god.” Kyli

“I´m certainly not a god, I met him and he´s far superior to me.” Me

“You met a god? Which one did you met Siria? Gaia ? Are you one of their apostles?!” Kyli

“No not those gods,” Me

Ilza, Kyli, and some women, who were able to listen, had wide eyes.

“S..so... you are given to us by the gods?” Kyli

“Ähm well... not really....” I tried to say, but they weren´t listening anymore.

They continued to call me savior and didn´t listen to my explanations, they just said something like I`m too modest.

Ilza and I were sleeping in a ,two bed, room, and it was around midnight, as I woke up.

Ilza had a nightmare and came over to me.

“C...Clair are you awake?” Ilza asked quietly.

“Yes, what happened.” Me

“I had a nightmare, can I sleep with you?” Ilza

“You know that I´ll use you as a hug pillow?” Me

“That´s okay,” She said and crawled under my blanket.

I hugged her and she quickly fell asleep.

She hugged me back while sleeping and it seemed like she had a good sleep from then on. We stayed like this the whole night and I woke up by a moving Ilza, she rolled on top of me and I was squeezed between her and the mattress.

And because she´s larger than me,I was between her two small breasts.

* Soft but a little skinny....

I softly stroked her cheek and she woke up.

“Morning, am I comfortable?”, I asked amused.

“Moning...thank god this wasn´t a dream, comfortable?” She asked and looked down, seeing my hair. She took it in her hand and asked half asleep.

“Clair why is your hair under me? And where are you?”

“That´s because, I am under you.” I said and poked with my other hand, her left breast.

“Huh? H..H..how? Sorry, sorry I...I....” She stuttered.

“No problem, you´re not heavy,” I said while she moved away.

“Still, I´m terribly sorry.” Ilza

“You don´t have to, you´re light, to be more precisely you´re too light. We have to change that.

I have many good receipts I´d like to try.” I said, looking at her naked body while we got changed.

“Sorry.” Ilza

“You don´t have to say it so often.” Me

“It´s just that I was hit, when I did not.” Ilza

“Nobody will hit you, but why are you almost normal, when you speak with me?” Me

“I don´t know, you feel different, comforting...” Ilza said and blushed.

“Anyway, we´ll depart today. I´ll ask the women if they need something else and we´ll fly back.” Me

We went outside and saw the women getting accustomed to their new environment.

We searched for Kyli and everyone greeted us by bowing and saying,” Thank you again savior.”

* Ops, I think I´ll get worshiped. Well, nobody cares.

Kyli was in the giant hall, with most of the elder women. They noticed us, bowed and said the same line as the others.

“You don´t have to do that.” Me

“We think we would disrespect you, if we don´t.” Kyli said and I couldn´t reply anything against that.

“Well, what are you doing?” I asked

“We´re discussing the work disruption, who´ll be working on the fields, teaching the smaller girls, learning botany, things like that.” Kyli

“Do you need something from me for that?” Me

“We could not ask anything more from you.” A woman said.

“I wouldn´t mind..., oh I have something I´ll give you.” I said and they tried to decline, but I continued.

“Most of you aren´t really strong and it will be hard to plow the field, so I´m going to make golems for you which will do the work. They´ll also help with construction and mining.” Me

“Savior, you don´t have to.” Kyli

“Nope, I come from a world where women are equal to men, but you are clearly not in the condition to do hard labor. “ I said and began to form 30 human sized golems. They got the enchantments for ore recognition, durability, strength and anything else, that lets them recognize their masters and do what they say.

Ilza raised an eyebrow as I said world, but I didn´t notice.

I finished the enchantments and said:

“These things should be able to work for 200 years and will do whatever you tell them, they are made for hard labor and are able to distinguish ores.”

“Savior, you´ve given us so much, how are we able to repay your kindness?” Kyli

“Well it might be that I find someone like you and if I do, I´d like you to accept them in this community.” Me

“Of course, we will. But I meant something that we can do for you.” Kyli

“Hm, not really, I only wish for you, that you will have a good life. I´d like to visit you, once a month on the weekends if that´s possible.” Me

“We would be delighted to have you here.” Kyli

“Thanks, I don´t need a house, there are more than enough rooms and I can share one with Ilza, or are you against sharing a room with me Ilza?” Me

“N...no,” Ilza said, remembered today's morning and blushed.

“Then we´re going to depart after breakfast.” I said and it seemed like the women were looking sad.

“Then we´re going to make it.” Kyli

“No need, I´ll do it, my cooking skill is higher than yours.” Me

A woman stood up and said proudly.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

“With utmost respect, my cooking skill is LV 5, I was a chef before bandits sold me.”

“You can help, but my skill is on LV 10,” I said and everyone present made wide eyes.

“That is a level only for the g...gods. You must be a god savior, now you can´t deny it any longer.” Kyli

* Crap, I forgot the significance of such a high level. I mean 1 to 10 is not much they could have made it 1 to 100.

Now their eyes almost shot the word worship out.

“Anyway, let me do the cooking, when I´m here, I enjoy it. “ I said and hurriedly left, with Ilza behind me.

The woman from earlier came after me and we made breakfast for everyone.

I changed into my Dex form after that, because it´s easier to carry Ilza in this form.

We said goodbye and I made an air bubble around us so that we won´t have problems with the air pressure.

We flew to Turonis, while I carried a beet red Ilza, in a princess carry.

I landed in a remote place and changed back to Clair.

“It´s fascinating to see you changing, does it hurt?” Ilza asked, amazed.

“Nope, but it sounds funny, when I do it with the mastery of LV 1.” I said and changed back as if I have LV 1

My bones cracked and you could hear my muscles growing, it sounded creepy.

My body began to slowly grow while constantly breaking and reforming itself.

The bones in my face began to move and after a few minutes I looked like Dex.

I looked at Ilza, who was white as marble.

“What?” Me

“P...please do this never again, I almost puked.” Ilza said, with a green face.

“If you say so.” I said and changed back to Clair, the changing on LV 10 is done in a second and you could only hear one crack.

“So that´s with this cracking noise, whenever you change.” Ilza

“There´s more, look in my eyes.” I said and she leaned forward, looking deep in my eyes, which suddenly switched from green color, to a red color with a slit as a pupil. She screamed out and fell on her butt.

“What´s that?” Ilza asked a little frightened, “It looked like the eyes of a demon.”

“These are my eyes as a dragon, I´ll show you later. I never was in my dragon form, so I don´t know how large it will be.” I said laughing and helped her up.

“You truly are amazing.” Ilza

“Don´t think that I´m some kind of god,” I warned her.

“It´s hard to do not,” She said.

“What is a god for you?” I asked, while we were walking to the orphanage.

“Well a god is someone, who can do everything, is friendly and helps others without a compensation. And that´s exactly like you.” Ilza

“Well, I´m not friendly.” Me

“You are, you helped all these women and me, you even gave them, a new,better live.” Ilza

“But I killed by doing so.” Me

“Did you kill innocent people?” Ilza asked

“Don´t know, I killed his whole family, but I left the maids alive.” Me

“Most nobles are arrogant and see us normal people as garbage, so I think it´s right to kill them.”

“Ilza, I will kill people on my way. I´ll kill everyone when they are against me or when I think that they could be a threat to me.” Me

“What are the conditions for you?” Ilza asked.

“ I like you and I don´t want to lie to you, so are you sure you want to know? “ I asked and it took her a few moments before she said.

“Yes, I want to stay beside you and have to know you, for that.” Ilza

“Even if it would mean that I look like a monster?” I asked, but she gave me a resolute nod.

“Okay, I kill if I think that they might hurt people I like, I´m pretty lenient in my morale.

Everything is okay as long as you don´t fuck with me. I´m not some kind of saint, if you wouldn´t have been by the baron, I would not have helped these women, even if I had known of them.” Me

“Why?” Ilza

“Why should I? I think that everyone has the right do what they want.” Me

“But they couldn't do, what they want.” Ilza

“We´re thrown into the world, we can have luck and grew up, in a sheltered environment or not.

I grew up in a world where we live by many rules, there was almost no physical danger, but we were extremely hindered in our life. We had to study in a school, which was not made for individualizing pupils strength, but put up a generality for everyone and if we were at a loss in the exams, we ended up homeless.

I dreamed from a world, where I could do what I want.

And I think that everyone should have the right, to do what they want, if I claim this for myself.

So I think these women, just had luck that you were bought. Luck is something that´s for other misfortune.

I do think they have the right to fight back, but they were not able, or simply did not.

I do whatever I think I have to do, I´m able to do that, because I have power in this world.

Those without power, will be trampled, by people with power.

So follow my advice, do whatever you want, but do it so that you won´t have problems in the future.

That´s the reason why I killed his whole family, they might become a problem if I had not killed them.

And don´t get me wrong, if there´s something I do for people, I´ll do it till the end.” We´ve reached the orphanage and I finished my explanation.

“Then why did you save me?” Ilza

“Because I like you,” I said with a broad smile.

“Here it is, I´ve remodeled an orphanage and we´re going to stay here until I´ve bought us a new house.”

She looked at the walls and was silent.

I added Ilza on the “to guard” list of the lions and we went inside, some children were greeting us and Hira came with Siril in her arms, down.

“Clair, you´re back. Who´s this elf girl, if I may ask?” Hira

“Hira that´s Ilza, my friend, I mentioned her before. Ilza that´s Hira and Siril, they´re living here.” I introduced both.

“Thanks to you.” Said Hira.

“Where´s Alina?” Me

“She´s clearing the depths.” Hira

“Good, I hope they won´t do more.

Could we have a room for us? We have to stay until I bought a house.” Me

“Sure, there are some free.” Hira said and we went upstairs, to one of the free rooms.

“Ilza, would you like to come with me? We have to buy a house, do you want to live in the first wall or second wall?” Me

“I´d like to come with you. What´s the difference?” Ilza

“The first wall is out of peasants and commoners, most of the buildings are of minor quality and the security on the streets is not so good. It gets better the nearer you are at the second wall.

And the insides of the second wall are inhabited by rich merchants and nobles. The security is really good and the stores have better things.” Me

“Would it be okay to life in the first wall, in the middle of it?” Ilza asked.

“Sure, but why?” Me

“I don´t think that nobles would accept us and I think the people in the first wall will be friendlier.”Ilza

“Good then let's go, I have some plans for our new house.” I said and we left.

We found, after some questions, a store that sells land.

We went inside and it has a clean interior. A young woman was behind the counter.

We walked to her and she said with a business smile.

“How can I help you?”

“Why did you not frown?” Me

“Because you look like you have money and money is the only thing that´s worth in the business.” Woman

“How nice of you, I´d like to buy a larger property inside the first wall.” Me

“How large does it have to be?” Woman

“Let´s say 2000m².” Me

“That might be a problem, the residents there´s no building with this much space.” Woman

“It doesn´t have to be one house, I need at least 1500m², you can buy enough houses until it´s large enough.”

“That would cost horrendous sums, are you sure you can afford that?” The woman asked with a raised eyebrow.

“How much?” Me

“We have to persuade the house owners, it might cost 150 gold.” Woman

I took 160 gold out of my inventory and put them on the counter.

“Here are 160 gold, we´re currently in the orphanage near the city wall, please send a messenger if you need us.” Me

“Certainly miss, I´ll inform my boss. We will immediately begin to work.”

She said with wide eyes.

“When do you think, will it be ready?” Me

“We need at least a week miss, we´ll inform you when we´re finished.” Woman

“Thank you, see you then.” I said and left.

“How rich are you?” Ilza asked me on our way back.

“At present around 747.000 gold coins. But I can make more.” I said and heard, a someone, falling.

I looked behind and saw Ilza, unconsciousness. 

* Dammit, well she has to get used to me.

I picked her up and we walked back to the orphanage....

Some might have noticed that I removed some of the tags for this story, especially the harem tag. 

That´s because harem stories often have a fast developing harem and I´m not even sure if a harem will come.

So I´ve kicked it because it will take more time than normal.
