Hey, chapter 9 is here (^_^)/

I'm starting to use table for status window and using title in it. Since I'm new to this, please tell me if I done something wrong (•_•)

Thank you for Tivanenk and Truth (^_^)/

========================================

".....I didn't know that you're that strong, Kiel"(Rune)

"Ah, since my healing getting faster, I can accumulate mana little by little now. It's all thanks to you, Rune."(Kiel)

She just smiles happily as I heal her. I don't know what time it is. There's no window here and the room's illuminated by  just the candle, but I guess it's already nighttime. Those slave traders deliver some food to us at the usual time. When they delivered it, we hurriedly got back to our own position. Allan skillfully chained himself in seconds, while Kiel and I just sit at the corner like usual. Right now, we just finished eating and began to chat while sitting in the corner of the room.

"This is the first time I see a beastman using magic."(Allan)

"Huh? Yeah, you could say I'm pretty rare."(Rune)

"If you dare to do something bad to Rune, I won't forgive you."(Kiel)

For a moment there, I can feel my brother's presence from Kiel. Is there any chance Kiel will turn out like him? I hope she won't.

It's because the existence of a beastman who can use magic is extremely rare, so there's no wonder that many people want to exploit them or sell them to another country.

"Hey! I have daughter here! I'm not some bad man who would sell a girl younger than mine."(Allan)

"So you will sold a girl older than her?"(Kiel)

"Hell no! I'm not a bad guy you know!"(Allan)

"You tried to hit on me before, even though I'm younger than your daughter."(Rune)

"T-that's because I have to act stupid in front of those guys! That way, they will lower their guard around me."(Allan)

"Are you sure it's not because you're a real idiot and pervert?"(Kiel)

"No! I'm a gentleman who's liked by many ladies. My type is an older girl who's kind to children, in her late teens, blonde and has big boobs!"(Allan)

So blonde and big boobs really is your type! You were not joking when you said that to them. Are you sure you were just acting stupid back then? I doubt you.

"You guys are doubting me, aren't you? I can see it from your eyes!"(Allan)

"If you try to do anything funny to Kiel, I won't forgive you!"(Rune)

"Rune..."(Kiel)

She just watches me with her gentle eyes. Then, she leans closer to Allan, whispering something to him.

"If you try something funny to Rune, I'll torture you so much that you will feel sorry for being born. "(Kiel)

As she said something, Allan face paled. Is he sick?

"I-I won't! Geez! I have no interest towards a little girl! So stop looking at me like that!"(Allan)

Now that I think of it, isn't Allan is a skillful locksmith?

"Hey, sir Allan, can you open our shackles? You're a locksmith, right?"(Rune)

"Of course. This kind of lock is a child's play to me."(Allan)

"Then, can you release us now? Well, at least loosen it a bit, so we can run away easily"(Rune)

"Sure, just give your hands to me...."(Allan)

As he told us so, Kiel gives him her hands. Allan freezes up on the spot.

"He-hey! Isn't this a magical bracelet?! How come you're wearing one?"(Allan)

Aa.. yes, even I was surprised the first time I saw that bracelet.

"Can you open that one too?"(Rune)

"Well yes I can, but..."(Allan)

Allan looks hesitant, maybe because Kiel attack him before. He might think Kiel is dangerous.

"Please?" (Rune)

I plead to him, giving him teary eyes.

"Ug.... alright! But it's because you asked me to! I will just make this magical bracelet inactive. Just make sure this kid is under control okay! I don't want to be attacked by her again."(Allan)

"Yes, Kiel won't randomly attack people. Isn't that right, Kiel?"(Rune)

".................."(Kiel)

"Kiel?"(Rune)

"....yes, if Rune says so."(Kiel)

"Sometimes I wonder who is the older one between you two*sigh*"(Allan)

Says Allan as he smiles wryly at us. Can't be helped, I'm an adult man at heart after all.

As Allan tries to unlock all of our shackles, I fall asleep because I had drained my mana due to healing Kiel.

The next morning, all of our shackles are already loosened. I can free my hands if I twist them a little bit.

"Happy?"(Allan)

"Yes! Thank you!"(Rune)

I thank Allan with a big smile on my face. Has his face become a little bit red?

"....... You will surely grow into an adorable woman."(Allan)

Allan says that while patting my head, but he suddenly stops and retreats his hand. Is there something on my back?

"................."(Kiel)

All I can see is Kiel smiling behind me. So, why is Allan so pale?

As we stand there in silence, suddenly, someone opens the door.

*click*click*clang*

We hurriedly back into our position as soon we heard the door's lock opened. I hide Kiel's body in the dark corner.

"Hey, little mutt, our boss wants to appraise your value!" (Slave trader 1)

The slave trader gesturing me to came at him. Seeing that, Kiel grips my hands tighter.

"It's okay. I will be fine. If something ever happen, I will surely run away. We beast people have good agility you know."(Rune)

I whisper to her. Even I say this to Kiel, I don't really know what's gonna happen next. The only thing I know is that there is a high probability that I'm going to die here. The truth is, I'm scared of dying for the second time, and I still don't know the cause of the fire. I just don't want to worry Kiel. I can hear my fast beating heart. As I'm about to walk towards the slave trader, Kiel whispers something, then she suddenly kisses me.

I was shocked! I could taste some blood in my mouth, then she suddenly bites my lip pretty hard causing my lip to bleed a little. I am stunned for a moment. Then, the moment my brain finishes processing what just happened, I just let out a voiceless scream.

UWAAAAAA!

I am so embarrassed! I can die! Even in my former life, I have never kissed a girl before! And here, there is a kid bold enough to kiss me like that! I just want to hide! Please, just erase me this instant!

I could see Allan's dumbfounded face from the corner of my eyes. Not only him, I think even the slave trader is dumbfounded too.

Evig Contract is complete

"You'll be alright"(Kiel)

She whispers in my ear.

"T-the heck you two doing?! Just hurry up and come here, you mutt!"(slave trader 1)

I hurriedly walk to the door, then I am lead to a stair a bit further away from Allan's cell. The slave trader glances at me a few times with weird look in his face. I could tell that my face is as red as an octopus. Now, my heart beats with entirely different reason. As I'm deep in thought, we suddenly stop in front of a big door.

"I brought the other kid, boss."(slave trader 1)

The slave trader opens the door and I can see many other kids lined up. They all look scared.

"Bring her here."(???)

There's a bulky old man in the middle of this room. His face looks so scary.

As I walk towards him, he sizes me up.

"Huh? This kid is wearing a bracelet? Why don't you guys take it?"(slave trader boss)

He takes my bracelet. As soon he sees it was made from shiny stone, he looks disappointed.

"What this? It's just made out of shiny stone from the river?"(slave trader boss)

He just tosses my bracelet into pile of other belongings behind him. It seems those belongings are the other kids' possessions.

"This beast kid, is she the smallest here?"(slave trader boss)

"Y-yes, she's also the weirdest one"(slave trader 1)

Hey! What do you mean by 'the weirdest'?!

"She's brave enough to be in the same cage as the silver eyed demon." (slave trader 1)

I could hear every kid in this room gasping.

"Not only that, she even rebelled against us when we tried to separate her from that silver eyed demon"(slave trader 1)

"What?"(slave trader boss)

After hearing what his underling said about me, he looks at me as if I'm a strange creature.

"Maybe this kid is retarded? We can't sell her for a high price then?"(slave trader boss)

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Hey! Who're you calling retarded?!

"And here I thought with that face, this kid would fetch us a pretty good price. If she's retarded, 20 gold coins, maybe?"(slave trader boss)

T-twenty gold coins?! Isn't that expensive?!

This world currency is Geld

1 bronze coin = 10 Geld

1 big bronze coin = 50 Geld

1 silver coin = 100 Geld

1 big silver coin = 200 Geld

1 gold coin = 500 Geld

1 big gold coin = 1000 Geld

While normal people's daily expenses is about 800 Geld a month, 20 gold coin means 10,000 Geld. If that's the price for a defect slave, just how expensive can a normal slave be?!

"And what about that silver eyed kid?"(slave trader boss)

"That guy is just sitting in the corner with the other guy."(slave trader)

"If it was not because of some foolish nobleman's request, I wouldn't have wanted to have that unlucky thing in my headquarters. I just don't understand them at all for wanting silver eyed demon as collection and stuff.....and what about the daily torture?"(Slave trader boss)

"Ah, yes, we will do it in a near time"(slave trader 1)

"Good, some silver eyed demon running rampage is the last thing I want to see. Make sure you torture that thing more severely, just be careful to not kill it. And what about that suspicious guy?"(slave trader boss)

"He was quite shaken when we first put that silver eyes demon, but now he doesn't mind him." (slave trader 1)

"Just torture him again like usual, don't give him a single bit of food or water until he tells us who he's working for. There is no way he just accidentally passed our headquarters while taking a walk."(slave trader boss)

Allan....... you sucks at lying.

"Kid, what is your name?"(slave trader boss)

"............."(Rune)

"I'm asking you - what is your name?!"(slave trader boss)

*cough*

This guy, he mercilessly choked me....

"R-rune..*cough*"(Rune)

"Right, you should have told me sooner."(slave trader boss)

As he released me, he starts writing my name in paper. Is that the name of every slave in this place? He even writes down our price. There is 'silver eyed demon' on the top of the list, her price...... 15,000 gold coins?! That's 7,500,000 Geld! Is my price too cheap or is it just Kiel's price that is too high?

"Put all this kids back to where they belong."(slave trader boss)

As he said that, the slave trader just leads us downstairs, back to where they put all the slave.

"W-wait! Are you leaving me here?!"(Rune)

"Huh?!"(slave trader 1)

The slave trader looked at me as if he looked at an idiot.

"Shouldn't you put me back with Kiel?"(Rune)

"Kiel? Ah~ that silver eyed demon, why should I? A low grade merchandise should be put with other low grade merchandise you know."(slave trader 1)

With a sneer, he leaves the room and locks it. I just sit in the corner of that room, away from the other kids. What should I do? I was just separated from Kiel and Allan.

I am really anxious and also scared of my death.

<..........e>

Huh? Did I just hear a voice?

<.........une....>

This voice, is it Kiel or am I just imagining things?

<.......Rune, can you hear me?>

It's clearly her voice! But how come I'm hearing her voice here?
