SC1 6.1 – Unexpected Offer

Under twilight sun, I and Takao sat on a big chunk of flat rock facing each other, and while we ate meat bun I interrogated her.

“How many warriors did you kill so far?

“12.”

“What is the highest level?”

“Level 3.”

“Did you use the same method you used on me earlier?”

“Yeah.” After letting out a deep sigh Takao grumbly said, “It never failed before.”

‘Well, if I don’t have Essence Pulse, my head would be rolling on the ground right now,’ I muttered before asking the next question, “Who taught Hisami Wind Step and Wind Breath?”

“Grand Master Isser Sano, patriarch of Blackwing Guild.”

‘Isser Sanno!!’ I shrieked as my eyes widened.

At the same time, Takao realized the shock in my face and curiously asked, “Do you know him?”

‘I know him more than anyone in all universes,’ I sourly muttered, and then I shook my head. “No, I don’t.”

“Blackwing is one of four power houses in Arka Continent, while Grand Master Isser is the strongest warrior over there.”

“How old is he and what is his level?”

“If I remember it correctly, he is 53-year-old and at the peak of Level 23.”

‘What a fart!!’ I made another grumble inwardly.

To become member of Blackwing, someone had to reach Level 25 before eighteen. If a candidate failed to achieve this condition, their only option was leaving the guild. They could return to their hometown or join other guild. In short, someone who perched at Level 23 at 53-year-old didn’t even qualify to become a door keeper in Blackwing.

This impostor was too brazen. With his super low achievement, he also dared to use the identity of someone who became Level 32 before twenty. Not to mention, this certain dude was the second strongest Elder in Blackwing’s history.

After heaving a deep sigh I asked Takao another question, “How a Level 3 was a disciple of Level 23?”

“Master was not Grand Master Isser’s disciple,” Takao calmly replied. “She was his favorite bed warmer. Therefore, Grand Master Isser taught her lot of his signature skills. Grand Master Isser also gave her lot of good weapons and spatial ring that he used when he was a young adventure.”

Well, no wonder Hisami and her escort had weapons and spatial ring that usually was being distributed to Blackwing’s candidate. It seemed the Fake Isser also took lot of other equipment when leaving the training center at Blackwing.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“Is Grandmaster Isser doesn’t mind her favorite bed warmer use demonic path to increase her level?”

“Master Hisami took demonic path after Grandmaster Isser has new favorite bed warmer. Master had a hope that if she was strong enough, Grandmaster Isser would put his attention on her again.”

“I see.”

Turned out Hisami was just another fool who took demonic path because of foolish reason. I lost count on how many such fool met their end under my blade. No wonder, there was a saying that it was impossible to save a woman from their own feeling.

“Have you ever met Grandmaster Isser?”

“No, Master never brought her escorts when she returned to Arka Continent.”

“I see.”

As she looked straight into my eyes Takao casually asked, “Before you ask me another question, can you give me another meat bun?”

“Sure.”

The meat bun was Takao’s last meal and I would happily ensure she was full before leaving this world. Wasting no time, I gave Takao another meat bun and she happily enjoyed it without fully lifting her fox mask.

After a moment of silence Takao suddenly said, “If you don’t kill me, I don’t mind to serve you as a sex slave. I’m good at pleasing both man and woman.”

‘What the…’

Takao’s casual offer shocked me to the core. This was my first time encountering a female warrior who offered herself to become a sex slave. In my previous life, all beautiful and sexy female warriors I decisively defeated happily chose to meet their death rather than became my sex slave, and I always respected their final request.

Meanwhile, from Takao tone and expression, I could tell she was very serious with her offer. For the sake of my curiosity I immediately confirm it.

“Are you sure you want to become my sex slave?”

“I’m,” Takao ate the last bite of her meat bun before continuing, “When I became a servant in a rich household, it was not rare my master would use me. Master Hisami also told me that if someday she officially took me to join Blackwing, it was likely that some senior member will pick me as bed warmer.”

‘This fake Blackwing seems had a very bad moral compass,’ I muttered as I turned my head to Takeo, “For your information, I’m very rough when doing it.”

“I’m used to a rough play,” Takao calmly said. “All men who did me always did it rough.”

“Even so, I’m not a good guy and have no intention to maintain a long lasting relationship with a woman. If you are expecting that someday I would develop a genuine feeling for you, you will definitely be disappointed.”

“I never said you are a good man. You are definitely a pervert,” Takao blatantly gave me her opinion without any regard to my feeling, “but at least you try to protect people you care about with every might you have.

And as long as you don’t sell me to other man when you get bore of me, I will offer my loyalty for you. So, even if someday you get bore of me you will still get a good deal, while I can live a little longer.”

“Well…”

Somehow, I couldn’t immediately give Takao my respond, which I thought I would just refuse it. Slowly but surely I went into deep contemplation. I never have sex slave in my previous life. When I want to have fun I just visited best brothel house I could find and paid for the best girl they could offer.

In short, I considered that having sex slave was not practical and the benefit didn’t outweigh the fun of visiting brothel house where I could snacking on best escort girl money could buy. However, now I had Yunno and Yui to be added into my consideration.

I could teach Yunno and Yui almost everything, but womanhood was uncharted area for me. Maybe, it was not bad idea to have Takao around. She could handle the area outside my expertise and knowledge. Of course, I had to meet some condition before I could accept Takao’s offer.

“How old are you?” I calmly asked.

“18.”

“Have Yunno saw your face or heard your voice?”

“She never saw my face, while my mask alter my voice. Actually, after Master Hisami bought me, no one had ever seen my face other than her and her other two escorts.”

“Can I see your face?”

Without delay Takao took her fox mask off and turned her face to me. Surprisingly, her face was pretty similar to Koyuki Kato, my favorite actress when I lived on earth. She was also as tall and as slender as her. The only different was that Kato in front of me was much younger and her boobs were slightly bigger.

And honestly, her similarity with Koyuki Kato was the deciding factor in my decision. It seemed I watched too much dorama and without realizing it I developed lot of humanistic side.

“I accept your offer and starting now your name is Kato.”

“As you wish,” Kato calmly replied.

I then use my blood to carved Soul Binding on Kato. It was simple procedure, almost like drawing a rune. The binding mark I chose was a small transparent blue cherry blossom, and I put it in Kato’s snow white neck. Once I activated it, I and Kato immediately felt the connection.

Then, as big curiosity flashed in her eyes Kato said, “Master Sanno, this is my first time I see someone binding other warrior without Soul Binding Scroll.”

“I see,” I casually replied, “and just call me Sanno.”

“Understood,” Kato hesitantly replied but didn’t argue.

“Now, let’s talk about your task and arrangement.”

“I’m all ears.”

The arrangement for Kato was not complicated. The basic idea was I would separate Yunno and Yui from Tadaoka Household, and Kato would help me provide parenting for them. Surprisingly, Kato easily accepted it. Well, Yunno and Yui were not fussy kids so I think it would lighten her responsibility a lot.

After that, Kato helped me cremate the remains of Tanaka, Hisami, and her escorts. This way their essence would return to nature as their soul crossed to afterlife. We also offered a silent prayer, sake, and some fruits for the deceased. Actually, I didn’t want offer anything for Hisami, but Kato insisted and in the end I complied with her request.

Everything went smoothly. It’s just that anything that was store in spatial ring would disappear into nothingness when the owner died. So, other than their weapons and spatial rings, I got nothing else.

Kato slightly regretted it as Hisami had lot of money and essence cube in her spatial ring, but I didn’t dwindle too deep on it. My goal was to ensure Yunno and Yui safety. As for the rest, I would obtain it step by step.
